One Piece: Dungeon System

Chapter 12: Request for Help

"What... Is that right, Rayleigh-san? You–You got a way to resurrect the Captain?" Shanks asked in a tone full of nervousness.

The emotions possessed by Shanks at this time were turbulent with each other.

"Resurrect Roger?" Ben Backman muttered calmly, "Does such a thing exist? Even the devil fruit is not capable of doing such a thing"

Everyone was silent at this time because of waiting for the answer given by Rayleigh.

"There is a way," Rayleigh said with great seriousness, "However, it is difficult to do so. I wouldn't be able to do it myself. Therefore, I need to get help to be able to achieve this. I couldn't have asked my colleague for help before. They currently already have a life of their own and if I ask them for help, they will certainly be happy to accept it. However, I will also later ruin the lives they have today. Besides, I don't currently have their den-den mushi number which makes me unable to contact them at the moment"

“... Only you can I ask for help, Shanks. However, if you accept this request for my help. Your status as the Sea Emperor will be—"

"No problem!" Shanks directly replied very firmly, "I don't care about my status as the Emperor of the Sea. My status as Emperor of the Seas is just a status and it can be obtained no matter what I want. More important than that is to resurrect the Captain"

"Have you decided it?" Rayleigh again asked, "You know, you will later leave the New World. The territory you have will likely be taken over by Linlin and Kaidou. You can think about this again"

Shanks was silent at this.

"Why is your face like that, boss?" Yasoop asked with a grin, "If our territory is taken by Old Grandma and also Kaidou. We can take it back after resurrecting Roger. Honestly, I have never met him and I want to see him. When there is a chance to do it, how could this opportunity be thrown away in vain"

"That's right, boss"

A person who says this is a man with a large body and a sharp fighting mouth. The man is one of the Commanders of the Akagami Pirate Group, Howling Gab.

"You talked a lot about your Captain to us. To be honest, I am interested in being able to meet him and see firsthand how your Captain is—No, the real Pirate King"

"We will accept all your decisions, Boss" Ben Backman exhaled his cigarette smoke calmly, "The matter of the territory is an easy thing to do. After we can successfully resurrect Roger, we can take back the one that should belong to us. Besides..."

Ben Backman instantly turned into a very serious one, "It's related to the awakening of a person. Of course, there must be something big discovered by Rayleigh and this will likely affect the pattern of the world in the future. We have to know this more than others will be able to continue to maintain what we want to keep."

"It seems to be," Shanks thought for a while and nodded seriously, "I accept it, Rayleigh-san"

"What is your final say?" Rayleigh asked back to confirm, "I'll say it directly. This is unlikely to last for a while, Shanks. This will last a very long time or even in another sense you will no longer hold the status of Emperor of the Sea anymore"

Everyone was made back to silence by these words from Rayleigh.

“... You can choose to agree to this request or not, Shanks" Rayleigh continued back, "Whatever decision you make. I will give you an explanation of this. But, you need to know that later you will realize that this thing that I want to convey will change the pattern of this world."

"What do you mean by changing the pattern of this world, Rayleigh-san?" Shanks asked where his gaze was aimed at Ben Backman.

"The majority of people who go to sea in this world have one last goal, which is to find the treasure left by Roger, where the treasure is located on the island of Laugh Tale. Children, Teenagers, and Adults. Almost all of them went to sea and became pirates because they wanted to find the treasure" Rayleigh said in a deep tone, "However, you know, Shanks. If the world knew about the thing that Shakky and I discovered some time ago. The pattern of the world will instantly change. People who used to have the urge to go outside to get treasures will instantly change the direction of their destination to go to this place"
