Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Is 50 million a Lot?

After 5 days of staying at Sixis Island, Roger's pirates left like that. Shakky stayed for another two days, then the brothers took her to Whiskey Peak, where she said she was going to meet someone from her island.

The next day a new bounty was issued by the Marines, which surprised a lot of people, but for Raeven and others, they were already expecting this.

"Dracule Stussy, 50 million beli, and the world government didn't even say anything about her crime or what she did to have that bounty; they just said that she was a member of our family," Mihawk said.

"Just let them go; as long as they won't bother us, we won't bother them too much," Raeven said. Stussy, on the other hand, is very happy she finally had a wanted poster too, and her name on it makes her very happy.

"I'll hang this in the living room too," she said as she quickly bolted out towards their house.

"Are you heading to Grandline too?" Raeven asked Mihawk.

"Yes, brother, I'll prepare a lot of things first, and after that I'll continue my journey; I'll come home after every 3 months," Mihawk said.

"Okay then, make sure to prepare well; bring 50 ninjas with you. As for us here, we'll just wait for you here; I've got a farm to guard," Raeven said.

"Don't worry, brother, I'll be careful; later I'll tell this to Stussy too," Mihawk said, to which Raeven just nodded.

After 14 days of resting and preparing, Mihawk set off riding Strife together with Castle, while Raeven and Stussy were left on the island.

"If you miss him, you can call him daily and pester him to buy things like a dress or anything you want," Raeven said as he gave a white den den mushi to Stussy, who immediately became happy. She quickly thanked him, and she hurriedly ran back to her room to get the numbers she had saved before.

The number she has right now is only 3; one is Shakky, and the other two are her brothers. Still, she is very happy; in the future, when Dr. Vegapunk visits them, she'll get his number too.

While Mihawk is out exploring the Grand Line, Raeven focuses on taking care of his farm; if he is not farming, he is training with Stussy.

Stussy right now is still weak; with her strength right now, she won't be able to defeat any well-trained marine, so she first needs to exercise and build a stronger body.

Her control of the magnet fruit is already good; she can now combine simple things, and her area of range is about 50 meters.

A month had passed peacefully, and Mihawk is featured in the news; he destroyed 4 pirate crews and attacked one marine branch. When Raeven saw this, he just sighed; this kid didn't know how to chill.

When Stussy saw the news, she became motivated to train again. Raeven made a special diet for her. In the future, she became a CP0 agent, so her potential is good. The only thing that Raeven can do now is to help her train and feed her nutritional meals.

2 months later

Raeven is currently busy watering the fruit-bearing trees in his orchard when he sees Stussy and Mihawk walking straight towards him. Stussy is currently holding a giant cotton candy and a big paper bag.

"Big bro, big bro Mihawk gave me presents," Stussy said as she presented the giant cotton candy.

"Welcome back. I saw the news of your exploit. You really need to relax a little, Mihawk," Raeven said.

"Also don't eat all that cotton candy in one sitting," he added.

"The Marines and pirates at the Grand Line are quite good, especially the Marines there. I gained a lot during my travel, so I'm planning to rest here for a while before heading out again.

"Okay, no problem. You should go and see the house currently; it has 5 floors now. When the heat on Vegapunk's team subsides, I'll request an elevator from him," Raeven said, and Mihawk nodded.

January 5, 1496

East Blue

Sixis Island

The Oro Jackson can be seen docked near the shore of the island. How can the Roger pirates get out of Sixis Island? It's very simple; they either row their ship, or Rayleigh or Gaban will attack the sea to change the tide briefly so they can get out.

Raeven is having a talk with the Roger Pirates, as Roger seems to have discovered that he had an incurable disease.

"We're going to the GrandLine and beyond it to reach the end of this sea," he said as he pointed to the sea.

"I have some intelligence on a good doctor who can help you out on your journey; his name is Crocus, and he lives at the reverse mountain in a lighthouse there," Raeven said.

Raeven is tempted to give a Senzu Bean to Roger, but there are too many people here, especially Buggy and Shanks. What if Buggy slipped his tongue, or what if Shanks reported him when he returned to the world government? So he stopped; he didn't want unnecessary problems.

"My disease is special, kid; I even feel like it was destined," Roger said as he looked at Raeven. Then Raeven remembered the voice of all things.

"You! Wahahahaha, then I wish your journey towards the last island be smooth, Roger Pirates. When you have free time after your journey, come visit us here; my booze will be ready at that time," Raeven said. Everyone just laughed, and they promised after they reached that island, they would visit them here.

After the Roger Pirates left, Raeven and Stussy returned to their peaceful life of training, farming, and eating.

Months have passed, and today is Raeven and Mihawk's 15th birthday. Mihawk called, and he said he can't go home because he is still exploring the paradise. This year's sign-in reward is the attribute Endurance max.

Now Raeven didn't have any problem using his max-level Haki anymore; when he received the reward, he laughed so hard while using his Conqueror's Haki, and he controlled it perfectly, which is why Stussy felt the Haki but didn't get attacked by it.

"Should I visit the holy land sometime and give them a Conqueror's Haki greeting? Not a bad idea; I'll tell it to Mihawk later," Raeven said, and then he headed back to his brewery. Today 3 boozes will be finished: a beer, a wine, and a gin.

He named the beer Sixis Super Dry. This beer is a complete copy of a beer Raeven tasted before he died of overdrinking, the best beer he tasted his whole life, Westvleteren 12. With his godlike brewing skills, he made some improvements here and there, and the beer came out great. He only made 10 barrels of this beer.

He named his red wine Sixis Reserved I. The wine is flavored with a full body, firm tannins, and flavors of blackberry, black cherry, black raspberry, chocolate, leather, and violets. When paired with grilled meats, this wine is perfect for banquets. He only made 60 barrels of this wine.

As for the gin, he named it Gin Bulag, named after the most favorite liquor of his friend in the past Jemuel Acacat. This gin is a traitor; it tastes sweet and crisp, but its alcohol content is very high. Weaklings can't drink this; only crazy people will drink this gin, and Raeven likes it. Since he hit 15, he's been drinking this gin every night before he sleeps. He made 10 barrels of this.

While he was busy storing the booze, a ship entered the range of his Observation Haki. It didn't fly any flag, and its sails were white too, but the people on it Raeven was very familiar with them.

So he went to Stussy and told her that there are some visitors. Raeven Moon walked towards the ship, and when the people there saw him, they waved their hands. After that, Raeven told them to sail the ship towards the island. He cleaved the ocean as the sea became divided into two and crashed with each other, creating a peaceful current towards the island.

The ship landed on the specialized shore, which is made by the Ninja Khans. They smoothed out everything here, so if you're lucky enough when the current of the island drags you here, this is the only spot where your ship will be safe.

The scholars from Ohara quickly disembark on the island; they were curious about this land. A young woman with blonde hair, together with a woman with white hair, greeted Raeven.

"Raeven-san, Professor Clover told us that you were here, and he said that maybe you had some information about the things we are looking for," Gram said as she took out a letter and gave it to Raeven.

"I do know some locations where you will be able to read a poneglyph, but you know that this is banned by the world, right?"

"I already said this to Professor Clover years ago, that researching about ancient texts secretly is dangerous; if the world government knows about this, then the whole Ohara will be erased from the map."

"But you scholars really didn't know what fear is. Take these maps of the four blues; those marked are some of the poneglyphs beyond the four blues. I don't know because I never went and explored the Grandline" Raeven said.

"Professor Clover already warned us about this, but we still insist on doing this; history must be passed on," Olvia said.
