Dragon Sorcerer In One Piece

Chapter 57 - Trouble in Sabaody Archipelago

Two Days Later,

Sabaody Archipelago,

Through Area 6, a group of slave traders is currently chasing a thief who stole their money and goods from them. Carrying a bag full of money and the little girl in her arms, Carina quickly turned left and right in the alley to lose the tail but in the end, she made a mistake resulting in the corner of the alley.

"Damn it," This was the only thing Carina could say as she turned around to see slave traders caught up with her. Putting down the little girl, Carina pulls out a gun to defend herself and the little girl.

"Don't come any closer or else I will fire the weapon," Carina warned the slave traders but it was useless as they continued to approach her and the little girl.

"You think we are afraid of that little gun? You should have brought more than that," One of the slave traders said as he drew his gun from his belt and took aim. With panic, Carina fired her weapon but missed it as it was her first time firing the gun. She only has the gun in the first place because she found it on the slave trader's table, next to the safe where she stole the money from.

"Shit…" Carina said to herself and threw the empty pistol at the slave trader but it was pointless as it didn't even reach them. Suddenly, a large number of Razor Khans appear from the shadow and attack the slaver traders without mercy. The entire fight ended within a second as Razor Khans eliminated and left no survivors in the alley. Then, coming out from the shadow, Hades with a metal mask appears and approaches now shivering Carina and a little girl.

"Didn't I tell you to be careful? Especially with World Nobles and slave traders?" Hades said to Carina as saw the little girl hiding behind her. The little girl is about 10 years old, has silver hair and wears tattered clothes with a metal collar on her neck which indicates that she is a slave.

'Damn it, out of all things she got herself in trouble with the Hound Pets,' Hades said to himself as he recognized the slave traders, the Hound Pets are the slave trader group operating in the Sabaody Archipelago led by the man named Peterman. They are the same organization that kidnaps Camie ultimately leads to Luffy punching the shit out of World Noble, Charlos.

The Hound Pets and Peterman is nothing but a small cell of the slave trader organization in the One Piece world. The slave traders and kidnappers control 20% of the Underworld while Hades controls the majority of 50% (Not including the Bounty Hunting, yet), the rest are controlled by the illegal organ traders and criminal families such as Yakuza. The problem is that slave traders are very profitable businesses, especially in the world where their major buyers are nobles and World Nobles. This means slave traders are well armed and have members all over the world. The only other organization that can match them in numbers and against their fighting capability is bounty hunter and hitmen which Hades is currently looking for a replacement emperor.

Hades is powerful enough to destroy anyone in the fight, but he can't cover the entire world at once since he hasn't been to all of the islands and his Shadow Khan has limits as he doesn't have the full control of the entire clans, yet. This means Hades have to depend on the emperors of the Underworld as each emperor has their small army to keep their territory in check. Still, the real fighting force against other criminal organizations is the bounty hunter and hitmen formerly led by the Drug Peclo which Hades didn't think to replace anyone with after taking the throne.

"You better have one good reason why you stole Hound Pets' money and slave girl because right now, I don't have time to go to war with 20% of the Underworld," Hades said as he put two fingers on the bridge of his nose as he started to get stress and headache.

"I had to do it, there is no way I was going to leave her since they would have sold her off to the Human Auctioning House," Carina explains to Hades while the little girl is still hiding behind the Phantom Thief. Hades knows all of this since he was tracking Carina and her movement the moment she left the hotel back in Alabasta.

"Fine, I don't care but we have to take care of her before leaving for the job." Hades points to the little girl which all three of them teleport away from the alley and reappear on the top of the giant tree. The same tree where Hades slept after escaping from the Holy Land Mary Geoise all those years ago.

While Hades is recollecting his first night in the One Piece World, two girls who appeared with him are freaking out as they never experienced teleportation before. After calming them down, Hades grabs the little girl's metal collar and teleports it away without teleporting the little girl. The metal collar then reappeared somewhere above the sea which it exploded, harming no one.

"Now, what is your name and where are your parents?" Hades asks the little girl which she once again hides behind Carina without saying anything. Seeing this, Hades didn't know what to do until he heard a growling noise from both the little girl and Carina's stomach.

"I guess we should get some food, but first she needs a bath and clean clothes." Hades then once again teleports everyone to one location where it is safe, the Gold Resort. This time, the two girls didn't panic but were amazed by the luxurious room and expensive furniture made of gold. While they are busy looking around, Hades rang the bell on the wall which summons five maids to the room.

"This little girl is a guest of mine, make sure she is cleaned up and given suitable clothes. After that, meet us at my restaurant, we will be there waiting for her for lunch." Immediately, all five maids went into action and escorted the little girl to one of the VIP rooms. Seeing this, Carina was completely speechless due to the realization of a different world between Hades and her.

"Come on, let's get some tea and wait for her, I'm sure you can endure a little more before dining in the 6-star restaurant."

40 Minutes Later,

Three people were eating the main course of the meal all by themself in the empty restaurant as chefs are cooking the fourth course of the meal while waitresses are refilling the drinks. Carina and the little girl are currently devouring their course as if they haven't eaten for days, while Hades is enjoying the taste of the food slowly with a mug of ale. By the end of the lunch, two girls finished the majority of the food on the table with satisfaction on their faces and Hades ended up with hefty bills to pay.

"Now with a full belly, can you tell us your name and where your parents are?" Hades asks the little girl who is now less defensive and more cooperative than before.

"My name is Silvi Moon and I don't have parents since they are the ones who sold me to the slave traders for food money," Silvi said to Hades with a sad face. Hearing this, Carina's also sad as she has seen this many times before. The poor country without proper leadership ultimately ends up with famine or some sort of food crisis which led to many families selling their children for a scrap of money to survive.

"What is the name of the island you are from? Don't worry I won't send you back there, I promise." Hades said to Silvi, realizing that she didn't want to go back. For Hades, this is something he can't do to help right now but he knows a certain group that can do something about it.

"Glowing Reef island, that is where I'm from." That is the only thing Silvi said to Hades and once again she shut herself from both Hades and Carina.

"Ok, I understand. You don't have to worry about going back there again. We will figure out what to do next, until then you can stay here as my guest," Hades said to Silvi and then snap his finger at one of the maids to watch over Silvi. When Silvi left the restaurant, Hades quickly got back to his business.

"You and I still have a job to do. Also, return the silverware please." With that Carina brings out gold silverware from her pockets and returns them.

"How did you know? I thought I was careful," Carina asked Hades but he just ignored her question and resume back to the topic of the job.

"The job you and I will do tonight is important, so make sure you get your mindset ready because one small mistake could end us up in the prison," Hades said with a serious voice which made Carina nervous. If Hades himself is taking this job personally then it has to be big-league stuff.

"Ok, so what are we doing? Are we going after a filthy rich king's treasures? Or are we stealing a big secret from one of your competitors in the Underworld?" Carina cracks her knuckles with excitement as she believes she is now in the major league in the Underworld.

"We are going to the Impel Down to rescue and recruit some prisoners in level six, also known as eternal hell. Any questions?" Hades said to Carina the place they were going which made her pause for a few seconds and took a deep breath before responding to Hades's answer.

"It was nice knowing you, good luck and thanks for the food." Immediately after saying that, Carina made a run towards the exit but was stopped by the Ninja Khans and dragged back to the table.
