With pen and notebook in hand, Raeven explored the island meticulously; he even snapped a lot of photos using his camera, den den mushi.
Raeven was amazed; he had already seen a lot of plants, but the plants here are very special. The very first Pop Green seed he found was a flower trampoline, which was already good. He stored all of them inside his storage ring. As he moved towards the inner part of the island, he met a lot of things: a wolf that looked like a Christmas tree that could release a shock wave from its golden nose, a real-life Venus flytrap, bamboos that shot out from the ground, mushrooms that dragged down anything that flew above them, and finally, he met a giant stag beetle.
The stag beetle is black in color from its end down to the end of its horn, and it's big, probably about 20 meters in length and 6 meters high.
It was currently drinking from a river of honey, then suddenly an earthquake could be felt on the island, and then Raeven saw the land he was stepping on began to tilt. He saw a massive opening in the center of the island, and overweight animals fell towards the giant mouth. Raeven on the side recorded it all well; he is standing on a tilted tree, and the stag beetle he saw before is using its leg claws to anchor on the land.
As the island turned itself back, Raeven continued his exploration. He encountered a mantis 12 meters high, the same color as the stag beetle before. Sadly, when it tried to attack Raeven, the mantis scythe broke, and the insect died because of the recoil. Raeven was shocked; he didn't do anything yet, and the mantis already died. He took its remains, especially its skin, which was as hard as steel. He will give it to Stussy once he returns.
After exploring the Boin Archipelago for 3 months, Raeven returned to Sixis Island. His storage ring is almost full of Pop Green. Now he knows how to easily trigger those seeds. There are two types of seeds depending on the way they can be activated: one is by applying the right force or squeezing them—the seeds will pop, and if you continue to squeeze the plant, it will grow big until it reaches its limit—and the other one is that it will pop when it makes contact with anything.
It's already April 19th when Raeven returned to Sixis Island. The first thing he saw was Rayleigh training everyone about Basic Haki. When they saw Raeven was back, everyone welcomed him back warmly. After a few words, he left; he was heading to the Dracule Tower to take a bath and rest.
It took Raeven 3 days to properly store the poppy green seeds and plant them on the south part of the island. He planted them in a small space because he didn't need a lot of them; they're just a toy for him.
2 days later it's Stussy's birthday again. How quickly time passes by, right? Right now Stussy is already 13 years old, and Raeven remembered that he didn't sign in before, so he signed in, and the system gave him a Special Paramecia Blood Blood Fruit. A Special Paramecia is a subcategory of Paramecia Devil Fruit; its power acts like a Logia Devil Fruit, but it's not a natural element.
Now Raeven has 4 devil fruits in his hands: the Thunder and Snow Logia fruits, the Love fruit (a Paramecia), and now the Blood Fruit, which is categorized as a special Paramecia by the system.
If he can recruit trusted individuals in the future, he will give those devil fruits to them, but the thunder fruit is already reserved for Enel; once he graduates the training, Raeven will give it to him as a reward.
4 days later Rayleigh left with Shakky after having a long talk with Rouge. Raeven, on the other hand, is busy observing his pop green plants. Stussy took a leave from the training for a month because of the carapace Raeven brought back; she is currently inside her own lab.
Raeven returned to becoming a training instructor in the morning, and in the afternoon he tended his farm. Right now, out of 47 trainees here, 7 can already graduate. Raeven told this to Tritoma, and she said she will call them up next month. She even said that she will bring something that they got from the new world.
When Raeven heard this, he became more approving of Tritoma; when Mihawk returns, Raeven will put in some good words for her.
A month later Tritoma arrived, and Raeven was surprised by her transformation. It looked like she could control her Zoan power really well now, or maybe she just hit another puberty, but her face became more beautiful; now she really looked like the empress Tritoma Raeven saw before he died.
"Big Brother, this is the one I told you about before," Tritoma said as 30 Kuja pirates hauled a massive pot; inside it was a sapling of a tree.
"This is a sapling of the Treasure Tree, Adam. Where did you guys get this?" Raeven asked. He always wants to plant one of these, but he doesn't have connections at Elbaph. Also, what he wants is a sapling like this.
"We got it from a pirate we looted before I forgot them. We don't know how to take care of this plant, and the Kuja Pirates are greatly indebted to your family, so we decided to give this thing to you," Tritoma said.
"Then I'll accept it. Thank you guys. As for the other things, we're already family, right? As long as you won't attack us, our Dracule family will be your strongest ally," Raeven said.
"You jest, Big Brother; if anyone among them tries to rebel, I'll turn them into ghouls," Tritoma said, smiling. Raeven smiled stiffly; the empress of the Kuja Pirates are really the same.
The next day the Kuja Pirates left the island, and Raeven planted the sapling beside the Dracule Tower; hopefully once the tree grows as big as the Adam Tree of Elbaph, going up and down on the tree using the tower would be easy.
August 8, 1501
News about Gecko Moria, a super rookie who entered the New World, was given a position to be a warlord, but he rejected it, aiming to dethrone Kaidou from his emperor seat. Unfortunately, he lost; his crew was wiped out, and he was the only survivor. He fled away from Wano and headed back to paradise. When he tried to accept the position of the warlord, the Hanafuda mocked him. The Marines and the World Government said that a loser can't be a warlord.
Like that, after cursing for a while, Gecko Moria vanished in the paradise. Raeven knows that he is currently hiding in the Florian Triangle; he suffered a crashing defeat that erased his will, he won't be able to use Haki until he can recover from this stumble, and with his mind now in turmoil, he fell into a delusion.
It's September, and something surprising happened as Mihawk arrived on the island while aboard the ship of the Kuja Pirates. When Raeven saw this, he smiled and nodded; he gave a thumbs up to Mihawk.
"This woman is so annoying; she follows me everywhere, but she's good at making sweets," Mihawk said.
And that's it; it looks like his little brother's love story will start here; sooner or later a nephew or a niece will respawn.
Later that evening, Raeven gave a ring made of pure gold to Mihawk. When Mihawk saw this, he nearly drew his sword, but in the end, he thanked Raeven, and he left saying the words that he is still single and he is still young.
The next morning, the whole island is very noisy; the Kuja pirates are currently stocking their supplies here. They already have a large house here on the island made by the Kuja pirates and the Ninja Khans.
While Raeven was drinking his morning coffee, Shakky called him; she told him that the world government is doing something crazy on South Blue.
The news that Shakky brought quickly got the attention of everyone near Raeven; Mihawk, Tritoma, Enel, and Rouge quickly sat beside him to hear the news.
"The Marines, together with the Cipher Pol, are currently killing the 1-year-old and younger babies across every island in the South Blue; they are doing that to kill the last bloodline of Roger," Shakky said.
This shocked everyone here; only Mihawk and Raeven were not surprised about it. In the God Valley, they saw everything already.
"Luckily you moved quickly; the world government won't suspect at all that Mrs. Rouge is already in the East Blue," Shakky added. After a few more words, the call ended.
"Don't be surprised; killing a lot of babies to end the bloodline of the pirate king is nothing for the world government," Raeven said.
"Those scums don't have a bottom line at all; even the Marines, who are the so-called force of justice, are already corrupted. I'm happy I didn't join the Marines in the past," Mihawk said.
"This is the first time I heard something like this; Roger said before that the world government can do a lot of crazy things, but I never expected they are this extreme," Rouge said.
"Fortunately you found us quickly; we really owe you our lives, Raeven-kun," Rouge said.
"That's nothing, Rouge-san; we're friends of your husband. It's only natural we help," Raeven said.
"Once I recover my strength, I'll help out on the farm too," Rouge said.
"Now we're talking. Then hurry up and recover. Once you've fully recovered, I'll teach you how to farm."
