20 Bokka 2

"Boss, we are about one or two days from Bokka. Is Monta really going to miss this?" Daiki asked.

"He might miss this. That special course took a lot of time. Mine was four months. As for him. Who knows?"

A few days ago, after signing the contract, Dante had registered Daiki as his worker and gave him the last free training room that he had. He told him about the course and the reason for Monta's disappearance.

As for Daiki, Dante was still putting his course on hold to wait for Monta to finish his course first. Otherwise, no one will be taking care of the ship.

"Sir, a merchant ship was seen moving towards the island." A voice was reporting through a den den mushi.

"What about those pirate?" Captain Philip asked.

"None of them was reported to be seen. Especially the Boar pirates." The voice spoke again.

"Good. Handle this well. We can't afford to lose this one too." Captain Philip gave his order.

"Yes. Sir."

"Navy?" Seeing the ship was approaching him, Dante wondered why.

Stopping their ship besides Akatsuki, a group of Navy boarded.

"Greetings sir." Dante smiled.

"Greetings. I am lieutenant Lingard. Am I speaking to the leader of this ship?" Lingard introduced himself.

"You are right. I am Dante. The boss of Orca Trader. A newly established traveling merchant group. What can I do for you sir?" Dante asked.

"Nice to meet you Boss Dante. I have come with two mission. First is to make sure you arrive to Bokka safely. Second is to see your merchandise and maybe make some reservation." Lingard spoke his intentions.

"Sure! Follow me. I'll show you what we could offer." Dante eyes immediately shone when he heard about the reservation.

He led them to the storage room, and show him all types of product that he had brought from Baterilla.

Seeing the grains, Lingard immediately make huge reservation for the Navy. He also made a call to his superior to add some more budget for him to buy some of the variety products that Dante had shown him including the beer powders.

After some negotiations and agreements, the deal was closed and Dante invited Lingard for tea.

"Lieutenant Lingard, I have one more thing that I need your help with." Dante spoke after having some small talk with Lingard.

"Hmmm? My help?"

"Daiki. Bring it here." Dante ordered.

Daiki walked by and put a box on the table. As he open the box, a head could be seen.

"Puffftt" Lingard who was taking a sip on his tea was shocked seeing the head.

Black boar Gummy. One of the pirate group of more who were always harrasing the sea area around Bokka. Not only that, this group of pirate was considered as one of the biggest as they had hundred crews on board.

"This..." Lingard was suddenly out of words.

"We were robbed a few days ago. Except for him, we burned down all other crew alongside with their ship." Dante said as he was sipping tea.

Hearing Dante's words, Lingard was shocked. Killing Gummy and burning down his ship alongside the crews were shocking news already. On top of that, he only saw two people on the ship all these whole time.

The big pirate group who had been headache to them had met their demise upon robing a merchant ship.

This new establish merchant wasn't weak at all. At most they didn't seem to have a need for Navy's protection.

"You'll get the bounty rewards alongside the goods payment." Understood Dante's mean , Lingard immediately agree to handle the procedure.

Two days later, Dante landed at Bokka. Having being informed by Lingard, Captain Philip already prepared everything for their transaction including the bounty rewards.

It didn't take long for Dante and the Navy to complete their transactions before Navy soldier left with their goods.

On Dante's hand, a stack of documents for legally open his stall on the City of Bokka.

The morning was a busy one for Daiki. As Monta was in training, he was the only crew on the ship available, eventually he did everything for the stall opening.

The tents and all other equipments, he brought out them alone.

Dante was excited for his first day of the island. As they arrive at the evening last day, the Navy finished carried put their goods band all their transaction at night.

This morning was his real first day on the island.

As he was walking out of his room and saw Daiki was alone. He frowned seeing what was happening.

"Hey, Daiki, where are the workers for the odd job?" Dante questioned him.

"What workers? Monta was in training." Daiki answered. He was confused by Dante's question.

"Wait a minute. You want to do all these works? When will We open our stall if you do that? You need to hire some people." Dante was shocked by Daiki's answer.

When Daiki heard Dante's question, he was frozen.

"I can hire some people? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Daiki was angry.

"What? Do I have to tell you everything? Didn't I told you to prepare last night? Should you carry all those items by yourself? Go and hire someone!" Dante roared.

"Give me a clear order dammit. I'm not a merchant to begin with." Daiki cursed as he immediately ran off the ship to find someone to be hired.

"Urgh, I need to hire a good manager. Not only was Monta not as good as his sister, this second crew I had hired was even worse." Dante was mumbling as he rubbed the forehead.

Extra note :

1. From today I'll use Navy not Marine anymore.

2. I might use den den mushi and phone in back and forth.

3. I'm confused. Should I use Orca's Trader or Orca Trader.
