Dragon Sorcerer In One Piece

Chapter 64 - New Recruits and Test

One Hour After Bullet Fought Hades,

"Gentleman, welcome to Gold Resort. Enjoy yourself and recharge your batteries until I introduce both of you to the rest of the Emperors of the Underworld. I have only one rule and that is 'No killing without my permission,' people who work here are under my protection and that goes the same for paying customers. Break this rule and I won't hesitate to give my punishment. Is that clear?" Hades explained to two men but the last one was meant for Shiryu as he tends to go bloodl.u.s.t to kill his boredom.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm left alone it will be fine," Bullet said to Hades as he walked towards the window to see blue sky and ocean.

"You are the king," Shiryu gave his answer to Hades and lit a cigar with his new lighter made out of gold. Ever since witnessing the duel between Hades and Bullet, Shiryu kept to himself as if he was waiting for the perfect moment for something. For now, Shiryu is more interested in his new occupation than escaping from Hades as he realized how powerful and resourceful the King of the Underworld is.

"Good, if you need anything just ask one of the staff members. The next meeting is 2 weeks from now until then, enjoy the resort." Afterward, Hades left two deadly criminals in the room and walked towards the VIP room to handle his next guest.

The former slave girl named Silvi Moon was rescued from local slave traders thanks to Carina. Due to her past as a poor commoner and child laborer, she didn't receive a proper education. This is because her home island, Glowing Reef island, focuses all of its resources on the production of glowing reefs for the World Government. It is only a guess but Hades believes World Nobles got something to do with it as Glowing Reef is close to Sabaody Archipelago.

After knocking and entering the room with permission, Hades was welcomed by Silvi who is no longer shy and hiding from Hades. Silvi, who is now wearing clean clothes and much more energetic, greeted Hades as the maid did the same standing next to her.

"Look at you Silvi, it's only been two days but you are no longer shy anymore. I guess all it took was some candies and a different environment. Well, mostly candies I heard." Hades said to Silvi while the maid prepared the table with snacks and tea.

"I have been studying how to read and the stories of the islands are interesting. Did you know there is a mountain where all four Blues meet and is an entrance to the Grand Line?" Silvi said to Hades as she pointed her finger at the world map on the wall where Reverse Mountain is located at.

"Yea, I heard of that place but I never been there. According to the rumor, a mountain-sized whale is living with a lighthouse keeper, but that is only a rumor." Hades smiled and took a seat on the chair to have tea while Silvi joined Hades to have a snack. After going over various topics and subjects regarding One Piece legends such as Liar Noland, Emerald City and Mermaid island Hades decided to get to the main reason why he is visiting Silvi.

"Silvi, I made you a promise that I won't send you back to your home island but you still need a home and I know people who will gladly take you. How about it?" Hades said to Silvi as he gave her a serious face. As of now, Hades has only one place he knows is safe and gives her a new purpose which is the Revolutionary Army.

Just like Hades and Sabo many years ago, the Revolutionary Army takes care of war orphans and refugees. When they turn teenagers, they have a choice between leaving the base to find new life as a civilian or join the Revolutionary Army to help others. Not to mention, they also teach kids basic education and combat skills to help them survive the world. For this reason, Hades believes the Revolutionary Army is the best choice for Silvi to grow up, not to mention Koala would love to have her a little sister and teach Silvi how to punch boys with Fish-man Karate. When Hades finishes his explanation, Silvi's facial expression turns from happy to sad as she starts to cry.

"You are sending me away just like mom and dad did, are you abandoning me?" Silvi said to Hades while tears and snot came out. Not knowing what to do (With leer from the maid), Hades did the best he could to calm the girl down but it was useless as Silvi continued to cry. Finally, after half an hour of explanation, help from the maid and ensuring Silvi that Hades isn't abandoning her, Silvi stopped crying but began to have small hiccups.

"Silvi, it is dangerous to stay with me and you are too young to understand what I do," Hades said with his concern and gave a glass of water to Silvi so she can stop her hiccups.

"I know what you and big sister Carina do. Also, you can teach me how to fight and I can help when I get stronger." Silvi said to Hades with a bright expression as if she is getting a puppy. Hearing this, Hades rejects that idea as his role as ruler of the underworld isn't permanent and eventually, all of this will end. The conversation between Hades and Silvi went on for another hour until Silvi used her puppy eyes to bring Hades to his knees, making Silvi the victor.

"Fine, you win. You can stay with me until you are old enough to decide your future. But this also means you will start your education and learn how to defend yourself in the real world. Are you ok with that?" Hades once again gave a serious look to scare Silvi to back off but to his surprise, the 10-year-old former slave girl stood stern as she refused to back away.

"I am, even if I have to stop eating snacks," Silvi said to Hades and put down her cookie to show her determination. Seeing this, Hades laughed and put more cookies on Silvi's plate.

"You can eat cookies anytime you want. Just don't go crazy like certain Yonko I know of," With that, Hades accepts Silvi as his family member and thinks of a potential teacher for her to start her education.

'Caesar Clown will be the best choice to teach the education, but who will be a good combat instructor for her?'

Eight Days Later,

It's business as usual at Gold Resort. The exclusive resort for the rich and powerful has the endless arrival of new customers every day. While Gold Resort provides services for many to relax and spend their money on casino games, they do not know what is going on underground as the giant laboratories produce large numbers of Smile devil fruits and underworld operations are handled by hundreds of staff members.

Currently, Caesar Clown is teaching Silvi basic math problems while Hades works in the next room on alchemy to help Caesar Clown's goal of helping people with science. Everything was going on perfectly until Hades received a Den Den Mushi call from one of the Gild Tesoro's lieutenants, Tanaka, about a young woman demanding an audience with Hades. After hearing this, Hades quickly finished his work and went to surface level to meet this guest.

"Hades, what the hell?" Carina said the moment she saw Hades entering the room. Carina is wearing her plain white shirt and blue jeans while standing next to two big suitcases. Seeing how angry Carina is, Hades sat on the chair to prepare himself for a long one-sided conversation.

"Hello, Carina. How was your voyage? I swear I told Umit to send you anywhere you want to go. Why are you here? Wasn't 30 million berries enough?" Hades asks the Phantom Thief with curiosity since the last time he saw her was when he teleported her to a ship near the island before Bullet attacked him in the back.

"I didn't come here for more money, I came for Silvi since she is my responsibility," Carina said to Hades and took a seat next to him as she showed her frustration. This confused Hades as Carina doesn't usually show attachment to people as she is more of a lone wolf type.

"You came back because you are worried about Silvi? I don't believe you, why did you come back here? You had an express ticket to go anywhere in the world but instead, you came back to one place you know where I will be. So, tell me instead of puffing hot air from your cheek," Hades said to Carina while two servants came and placed drinks on the table. After maids left the room, Carina finally spoke and this time calmer than before as she finally finished organizing her thoughts.

"You are right, there are other reasons why I came back here. Still, I want to check on Silvi since I rescued her from the slavers." Carina explained to Hades and drank her drink while Hades kept his eyes on her. After finishing her drink, Carina continued her explanation.

"Also, I came back because I thought you could use my skill. Just like you said on level 6, you are hiring people skills required and you know my skills are top-notch. I came back to officially work with you," Carina said to Hades and puffed her c.h.e.s.t with pride as she reminded Hades of her skills as a thief.

"Work for me, not with me, Carina. If you are going to work for me and my organization, you need to show me some respect and humble yourself. What you and I worked previously was a separate deal since you stole from me, remember?" Hades corrected Carina and gave her a serious talk since this turned into a job interview. This shattered Carina's expectation of getting Hades to play under her thumb as she thought she could persuade the King of the Underworld with sweet talk and recent history.

"Come one, Hades. You know we are more than that, we even flew together under the night sky. How about giving me a chance to prove myself and then give me a suitable job after that?" Carina uses her last trump card out of desperation as she wants to join Hades. If she plays the card right, she could end up becoming a top member of Hades's organization and receive protection from other criminals she stole from before. Not to mention, Hades is powerful enough to kill all level 6 prisoners with a snap of a finger. So this is a huge win situation for Carina if she gets into the organization.

Hearing this, Hades paused for a few seconds before he gave a wicked smile. This made Carina uncomfortable as she realized that Hades thought of some ways to make this into punishment.

"Oh, you are right. I have to give you a chance to prove yourself and see if you are suitable to work for me. Ok, here is your test. Somewhere in Paradise, there is an island called Drum Island where a doctor's apprentice is developing a very special medicine. I want you to steal the research notebook since he is still experimenting with the theory. The name of the apprentice is Tony Tony Chopper and he has a blue nose."
