Raeven is minding his own business drinking his booze while eating some barbeque when a large man with light brown puffy hair like a lion stands up in front of his table.
He got a mask that had red stars as eyeholes, and he wears a yellow jacket that has the number 495 on it. He had an armband that had the word "death" on it, and he was carrying a scythe on his shoulder.
"Shinigami Raeven, I've been looking forward to meeting you, and finally we meet today," he said as he grinned.
"Undertaker Drug Peclo, don't do anything stupid. This is my sister's birthday party; I don't want someone to die here. Sit and be a good boy," Raeven said as he looked at Drug Peclo, who broke out in a cold sweat, and like a robot, he sat down on a chair. He felt the overwhelming Conqueror's Haki that made his bones and organs crack, and he couldn't do anything to defend himself at all.
"You're this weak, and you dare to compete with me. Behave yourself. If you really want to challenge me, then I'll wait for you tomorrow at your ship," Raeven said, and those were the final words that Drug Peclo heard as his consciousness turned black. He was knocked out cold with bubbles on his mouth.
Raeven stood up as he took his booze and plate of barbecue and headed towards a nearby empty table.
What happened on Drug Peclo was seen by a lot of individuals, especially the Emperors of the Underworld that keep looking at their counterparts.
Morgans just grinned as he gloated at Drug Peclo; Ummit, the ever-serious man, just shook his head; Gibberson just laughed as he drank his booze; and Lu Field sneered at Drug Peclo's idiotic move.
"Do we kill him?" Enel said as he sat down on a chair beside Raeven. He got a large beer mug, which he placed on the table, and then he took a fruit and ate it.
"He wants to challenge me, so I'll give him a chance tomorrow, that is, if he still has the courage to face me," Raeven said.
"Just let him sleep there; as for his subordinates, let them do what they want, as long as they don't cause trouble or do anything to them," Raeven added.
"All right, also Stussy said that Dr. Vegapunk called her; it seems that CP agents are going to arrive at our island," Enel said.
"CPS? Does she know their objective here?" Raeven asked.
"It's because of that celestial dragon; the shipment of his booze last month got ambushed near Banaro Island, so they sent someone who can do the right thing," Enel said.
"Someone targeted their shipment? Do we have information on who it is?" Raeven asked. He was curious who is bored enough to live that they will target a ship of a Celestial Dragon.
"Currently we don't have solid evidence, but a new group called Baroque Works is the biggest suspect," Enel said.
"Oh Baroque Works, this is really surprising. If you want to look more into that group, then focus on Alabasta," Raeven said.
As the night came, the party was still ongoing, and a lot of guests were drunk, like Lu Field and Gibberson, who were being supported by their subordinates towards their ship. Ummit, after drinking a few bottles of booze, left his business card to Enel; he said that if they have a new brew of booze, they should contact him immediately, and he will buy them all.
The subordinates of Gibberson and Lu Feld also left their own business cards; a lot of underworld bosses from Paradise left their contact numbers too. All of them want to purchase two things: the booze brewed by Raeven and the tech made by Stussy. Some of them wanted to buy some sweets and pastries, but Monet and Robin didn't want to sell it yet.
The next day, the Sixis Port is now clear; only the Perfume Yuda and Polaris are currently docked at the port. The Ninja Khans already cleaned the area and disposed of the trash from the party last night.
As expected, Drug Peclo didn't show up, but one of his subordinates delivered 1 billion beli worth of gold to Raeven, saying that it was an apology gift. Raeven just smiled when he saw this, and he let the man go; he had already paid for his life, so Raeven called it done.
After that Raeven gave the gold to Stussy; as the family's scientist and accountant, she is the one who manages the money of the family. Everyone had their own private savings, but if it's the family's money, then Stussy is in charge of it.
Stussy, Robin, and Monet—the three of them are all in charge of the economic and social welfare of the island; Enel and Mihawk are in charge of security together with their trainees Ace and Hancock; and Raeven, Sugar, and Rogue are in charge of agriculture.
That afternoon Mihawk found Raeven spreading some fertilizer on the Treasure Tree Adam, which is now as tall as the tree on the Gran Tesoro.
"Brother, Shakky-san called; she said her informant returned safely, and the kids he brought back want to meet you," Mihawk said.
"Then tell Shakky-san that we'll wait here for them," Raeven said, and with that Mihawk nodded and he left.
"The gears of fate are already out of control. Now will the world fix itself, or will it spiral into chaos? Whahahahaha, well, it doesn't matter anyway," Raeven said as he finished applying fertilizer on the tree.
"Hey Tom! Come down, you lazy cat; it's time for us to fish," Raeven shouted, and the blue cat sleeping on a branch of the tree quickly woke up, and when he came down, he was already carrying a fishing rod and a lot of fishing gear.
"Alright, let's go!"
Paradise
Jaya Island
Snake Resort (Formerly Mock Town)
Currently the Snake Resort is closed because it's being rebuilt by the Kuja Pirates and the Dracule Family. In charge of the whole project are the greatest engineers in the whole Grand Line, Remus and Octavio, who are longtime friends with Shakky and Rayleigh. Without recommendations from those two, hiring these brothers, who are already retired, would be impossible.
On the other side of the island, where Snake City is located, a lot of Kuja Pirates are currently together to welcome Shakky, accompanied by two kids; one is a 10-year-old boy, and the other is an 8-year-old girl.
"Shakky-san, welcome home," Tritoma said as she hugged Shakky, who hugged her back, and then she looked at the two kids beside Shakky.
"The two of them suffered a lot, and their mentality is wounded," Shakky said.
"This boy is named Trafalgar Law, and this is Trafalgar Lami; both of them are the only survivors of that kingdom," she added.
"Shakky-san, are you sure we can find that man here, the man who can make the All Cure?" Law asked. He is dying to meet this mysterious man that his father wrote about in the letter he gave him before they escaped the island.
"That man you are looking for is not here; we came here so we can get to where he is," Shakky said.
"For now you and your sister should rest here for a few days; after everything is prepared, we will go and visit him," Shakky added, and Law just nodded, and they were guided inside Shakky's house here in Snake City.
Two days later they finally left Jaya Island, and they are headed towards East Blue at Sixis Island. Fortunately, Law's character is not like his original one, who lost everything, and having his life on a timer, Law right now is very calm and mature.
When he heard the words "Sixis Island," the first thing he remembered was those two names, Hawk-Eyes and Shinigami, the two overlords of East Blue, both members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Then he remembered what his father wrote on the letter: a man wearing a black cloak with black hair and a black scythe and whose crimson eyes are very intimidating, which perfectly aligned with the features of Raeven.
"Now that you know who gave that medicine to your father, what are you going to do, Law-chan?" Shakky asked the child.
"I want to know why he gave those medicines to my father, and what does he know about the Amber Lead Syndrome?" Law said.
"But before that, we should thank him first; without these beans, I and my sister should have died there," he said as he opened up the pouch he kept as a necklace, and inside it were two Senzu Beans, which he called the All Cure.
"You should ask him those things, but you should expect some crazy stuff. I have known that man for a long time, and he will do things first if he wants to, and second, if one of his family members wants to do something they can't, then he will do it," Shakky said.
"Also, you should remember those things that you have; don't show them to others. We won't do something to you because of that All Cure you are calling, but if someone knows about that, then you will bear all of its consequences," Shakky said seriously, which made Law swallow the words he was about to say.
"Don't worry, Shakky-san, I'm not that dumb."
