North Blue
Spider-Miles
December 31st, 1492
It's almost the end of the year when Raeven and Mihawk landed on Spider Miles. The town is an industrial zone, so there are a lot of factories and scrap metals here, and a lot of abandoned buildings can be seen on the island.
Raeven looked around at the island, and he quickly sighed; with this kind of environment and pollution, no one will farm here.
Mihawk looked around, and he spread his observation Haki. He detected no one in this town worthy enough to duel with him. He turned to his brother, and he shook his head too.
"This area is controlled by pirates and underworld agents; sadly, no one here is strong enough to give you a challenge," Raeven said, then he suddenly smiled as he detected 4 auras together that are currently looking at them.
"The losers from the Grand Line came to North Blue looking for a king—what a story," he said as the two of them headed inside the town.
While the two of them are exploring the town, 4 people are currently looking at them.
"Behehehe, those twins really have a terrifying aura. I can't believe that they are just 11 years old," Trebol said while looking at Raeven and Mihawk.
"Those two won't side with us, especially the way they travel. Dracule Mihawk is currently challenging every swordsman in the four blues," Diamante said.
"Then we'll just keep on looking; hopefully we discover a worthy king here," Vergo said.
"I really wanted to challenge that kid Hawk-Eyes in a swordsmanship duel, but I just barely entered the realm of Cutting Steel," Diamante said.
"Forget about it; if there's a chance in the future, you can challenge him," Trebol said as the four of them left the area too.
Raeven and Mihawk headed outside the town after exploring it, and they headed to a secluded area. After scanning for a while using their Observation Haki and making sure no one else was around, Raeven summoned the ninja he named Castle.
"Castle, after we enter, go back to my shadow," Raeven said as a small door opened on Castle's hand, and Raeven walked towards it, followed by Mihawk.

It took Raeven 2 days to explore the island. During the new year, the two of them celebrated with the ninjas and their personal newspaper courier, Lugia. Mihawk gave a pair of earrings with a golden cross on them to Raeven. Raeven gave the other pair to Mihawk, and they both wear them on their right ear.
The two of them agreed together that they will stay for another 5 days on this island to relax. Mihawk is currently outside the castle; he is lying on a recliner seat while reading a newspaper.
Raeven, on the other hand, is currently inside his library, where the detailed island profiles he made are stored. A huge circular table can be seen in the center of the room with a map of the north Blue on it, and currently sitting beside the table is Raeven.
Right now he is looking at the map of the North Blue and taking notes about the islands they explored before.
"After spider miles we are going to Flevance, the city that destroyed itself by being too greedy," he said as he remembered the future.
"A whole city destroyed and only one survives, just like Ohara in the future."
"If I see Law in the future, I'll just give him a Senzu bean—that is, if he hasn't eaten the Ope Ope no mi yet. I also remembered those two poor girls, Monet and Sugar. If Doflamingo picked them up, then okay; if I see those two first, then I'll recruit them. Monet and Sugar can be our farm managers in the future," Raeven said, and after he finished organizing his books, he headed outside too. There he saw Mihawk currently sleeping under the shade of an umbrella.
Raeven took out a recliner seat and an umbrella too and set it beside Mihawk, and he slept away too.

The two brothers left the island to continue their adventure; their next destination is the White City, a world-famous tourist spot in the Flevance Kingdom.
After traveling for 8 hours, they finally reached the White City. The whole city is fully packed with a lot of people; some of them are locals, and some of them are tourists.
After scanning the island for a while, the two brothers shook their heads again; no one here is strong enough to challenge Mihawk, and at the same time, the soil here is full of Amber Lead, which is poisonous, so farming here is a no-go. The two of them didn't buy anything at all after Raeven told Mihawk about the amber lead.
"The ruler and the world government already know about this poison, but they didn't stop the people here from mining it?" Mihawk asked. Currently, the two of them are already inside the castle. A ninja served them a cup of tea; after Raeven sipped his tea, he answered Mihawk.
"They won't stop them; everything made from Amber Lead is expensive. Once you touch it, you'll be poisoned. It's a slow-acting poison, and it's hereditary. It's unnoticeable at the early stages, and prolonged exposure to it will shorten your descendants' life span," Raeven said, and this surprised Mihawk.
"Greedy bastards, so is there any way to save them?" Mihawk asked.
"Of course there is; our Senzu Beans are the perfect medicine in this world, but I won't save them. Even if we save them now and they become fully cured, will they believe us that the amber lead, the one who brought them prosperity, is poisonous? Also, remember our position; we are currently wanted criminals right now after attacking those marines," Raeven said, and Mihawk became silent.
"There is a doctor who tried to stop the mining of Amber Lead here, but nobody believed him, and that is already a doctor," Raeven added.
"I understand, brother," Mihawk said as he silently drank his tea.
"We're leaving this island soon; don't buy anything here on this island just to be safe," Raeven said, and Mihawk nodded.
That night Raeven headed out to the biggest hospital on the island and left a note with 5 pieces of Senzu Beans inside the cabinet of a doctor named Trafalgar.
After 3 days here in Flevance, the two left; now they are heading to their next destination, which is another winter island, Minnion Island.
After a week of travelling leisurely, they finally reached Minion Island. Mihawk and Raeven quickly changed into winter clothes, Mihawk because he needed it, Raeven because it's stylish.
"What are we searching for here again, brother?" Mihawk asked. He is currently wearing a black winter jacket that covers his body to his legs and a black beanie.
"We're looking for a ghost town; based on the information I got, it's in one of those hills. Let's search there first," Raeven said, currently wearing a white jacket the same as Mihawk; he had a scarf on his neck.
After that Raeven commanded strife to go to one of those hills; the other hills they visited before have families living on them, so they passed them until they reached the 9th hill.
"This is it, the last and the abandoned hill," Mihawk said as he looked around. Raeven summoned the Ninja Khans, and then he took out a drawing from his pocket.
"Everyone, with the exception of Castle, look around this place for this fruit. I want you guys to search very thoroughly. Go," he said, and then the Ninja Khan quickly searched the area, and then they entered the castle to relax.
"It's already night; let me prepare some food, and after eating, we should rest," Raeven said.
4 days had already passed as the Ninja Khans tirelessly searched the town for it. When they came back on the fourth day, they were carrying two small chests with them, which they presented to Raeven.
Raeven excitedly opened both chests, but the heart-shaped red fruit was not inside them. Inside was a pure white pear-like fruit with light blue swirls on it; another one looked like a cluster of grapes with a yellow vine wrapping around it. It's covered in jagged small shoots.
"You guys didn't find the red fruit?" Raeven asked, and the Ninja Khans shook their heads.
"Then don't look anymore; devil fruits can really choose their wielders," Raeven said as he looked at the two fruits.
"The Snow-Snow Fruit is a logia devil fruit, and another one is the Magnet Fruit, a paramecia devil fruit," Mihawk said as he looked at the two fruits.
"Both of them are good devil fruits; we'll store them for now," Raeven said, and Mihawk agreed.
After that, the two of them stayed in minion islands. Mihawk was frustrated because the island they visited before didn't have someone who could challenge him, so he tried to challenge the Ninja Khans again, and the result was the same. This time he reached an hour before he became too tired to raise his sword.
