January 6th, 1503
Ace, now 3 years old, can be seen running on the snow, rolling around while laughing; behind him is his mother, Rouge, chasing him around.
It's winter season right now at Sixis Island, Raeven can still farm even with extreme weather but he stopped so the others who are helping him in the farm can rest too, right now they're daily life is, Enel is still training his Devil Fruit power, Physical skills and Haki, without his arrogant character the Enel right is way above his original power in the story, right now his strength is on the level of a Vice Admiral, he just didn't know it because his sparring partners are Mihawk and Raeven, sometimes he will spar with Rayleigh, and he never won a single fight, his goal is to be strong, strong enough so that if someone bullied his family he can defend them or even better if he can turn them into ash
Stussy right now can levitate; after reading about magnetism and magnetic fields, she can finally fly, which made her very happy. Sadly, she can't make the large Zoid that Raeven told her about, but she can make smaller robot animals and control them.
Robin recovered her cheerful personality, but she still loves to say dark, humorous things. Right now she is busy learning things like economics. She and Monet are currently studying under Stussy. Monet, Robin, and Sugar shared the 12th floor as their room. Robin said it's too big for her, so she offered to share it with the two sisters. Now they are close; their hobby is almost the same. Both of them love reading so much that if you can't see them outside in the sun, you will find them sitting beside each other inside the library.
This year Vegapunk called; he said he is finally free, and he can visit the island. Raeven said okay, and after waiting for 2 days, he finally arrived with his team of scientists.
When Vegapunk saw Stussy, he was happy seeing her genuinely smile; with his good mood, he didn't just build an elevator, he also decided that he will build a specialized wine cellar for Raeven, and he will even upgrade the laboratory that Stussy is using.
"I've made the right bet entrusting Stussy to you, Raeven-kun," Vegapunk said.
"I told you before, Doctor, the moment I adopted her, she became my family; treating her right is the only right thing to do," Raeven said.
"Hehe, as you can see, Doctor, I finally found my family; if you want, you can join us too," Stussy said while giggling. Monet and Robin are shocked; the two of them are looking at Vegapunk's massive head.
"Also, these are the newest additions to our family; they are my little sisters, Monet from North Blue and Nico Robin, a scholar from Ohara," Stussy said. This surprised Vegapunk.
"Are you Olivia's daughter? I'm sorry I couldn't help you that time, and the books of Ohara got destroyed. I and Clover are friends, but when he asked me to get some help, I refused him. Researching about poneglyphs without proper preparation is reckless," Vegapunk said.
"Yes, I am her daughter, and don't worry about the books, Doctor; Big Brother took all of the books from Ohara. They're in this island library right now," Robin said. If her big brother and big sis trusted this man, then saying the books are here is okay.
"What? So you were there when the Buster Call happened?" Vegapunk said.
"Yes, but those stubborn archeologists won't listen at all. In the end, I only saved the books and 4 archeologists. I sent those 3 to Dragon. He didn't tell you? You met him recently, right?"
Raeven said, and this sent a chill down Vegapunk's spine.
"Relax, Doctor. You see, my observation Haki is special; I can see the future," Raeven added. After Vegapunk calmed down, he sipped his tea.
"That brat dragon didn't tell me anything; he just said that he was powerless too. Of course, if I know that you are there, I won't visit that place; I will go straight here," Vegapunk said.
"Now that you know, you should keep this secret, doctor. If the world government learns about this, then I'll be forced to relocate my base," Raeven said.
"Don't worry, I won't do something like that. I love my peaceful life too. I'm currently so busy that this month is my only free time," Vegapunk said.
"How much should I give you for the upgrades?" Raeven asked.
"Stussy called me before; she said that you are hiding a special barrel of wine. I want 2 barrels of that," Vegapunk said. Raeven looked at Stussy, and she just whistled as if it had nothing to do with her.
"Then you must upgrade my irrigation system too, or I'm the one losing out in this deal," Raeven said as he sighed.
"No problem," Vegapunk said, and Raeven took out two barrels of wine. The barrels are made of Treasure Tree Adam that he bought before with the help of Morgans and Shakky.
The barrel had the logo of the Dracule Family burned on it, and on the right side of it is the name of the wine, Sixis Supreme 20/20.
"If this wine is sold, it will cost billions, and I'm not exaggerating, you know that, doctor," Raeven said.
"Also this wine is very special; I made it from fruits and grapes that you can only get at Boin Archipelago, which took time for me to grow, and their yield is low, so I can only produce 20 barrels every 2 years," Raeven said, and then he took out a glass and gave it to Vegapunk.
"Here's another extra for you. You should drink this when you are alone, or you won't be able to enjoy it if you share it with others. Trust me, once you have had a taste of this, you won't share it at all," Raeven said as he laughed, and with that, their small talk was finished. Then suddenly, Vegapunk remembered the ring on Raeven's finger.
"A storage device, huh? I'll try to make one too," he said. That night he was alone in his room prepared by the Dracule family while he stayed there, so he drank the wine, and he was shocked; the moment he tasted it, he became entranced by the taste of the wine, and his mind and body relaxed like someone was massaging him. When he looked at the bottle, it was already empty, and he even forgot that he had drunk it already.
After two weeks, the elevator and the added two geothermal generators installed at the deepest part of the island made the whole Sixis Island look like a modern city, especially when night came and the light poles were lit up.
The cellar is built too, and Stussy's Laboratory got a major upgrade. When Vegapunk saw the miniature robotic animals that Stussy is making with the help of her power, he smiled, but when he saw the drawing of the Zoid and its parts, he was shocked. He kept shouting, "Amazing, splendid, sublime!"
But Stussy said that she will be the one who will make it. Vegapunk just nodded; with his schedule, he won't have the time to build something like this, but he said that he will build a powerful energy source in the future that can power up this Zoid in the future without Stussy's power.
But Raeven said that it won't need that, because the Zoid blueprint he gave to Stussy didn't really have a power source, so it means only Stussy will be able to use it; without her, it's just a metal statue.
When Vegapunk heard this, he laughed and said it's better that way; if that's the case, then only Stussy can use it. He scrapped the idea of building something like this; if the world government heard about this, they would use it for their campaigns, especially buster calls, and he didn't want that to happen.
When everything was done, Vegapunk and his team left with 2 barrels of wine. He said that he'll visit them again if he has the time. On the shore of Sixis Island, Raeven and the others waved him goodbye.
April 24, 1503
Stussy celebrated her birthday today; she is already 15 years old, so she can finally drink some booze. After hearing this, the little girls and Ace quickly became bitter; they said that they want to drink booze too, but Rouge and Raeven said no. Even Raeven and Mihawk waited till they reached the age of 15 before they began drinking.
After Stussy's birthday, she began to train again with her two little sisters. Rouge is taking care of Sugar and Ace, while Enel got promoted; he is the instructor of the training facility starting this year. With his strength at the Vice Admiral level, he is the perfect one to teach the trainees and the kids.
Raeven, freed from the instructor job, began to prepare the field. It's spring now, so he can finally start his farm. After the snow cleared, he watered his fruit trees first. Now that Vegapunk upgraded his irrigation system, there are no more manual jobs for Raeven; he uses a hose now. All he needs to do is turn on the water valve and walk around while watering the trees.
"ALL HAIL TECHNOLOGY!!" he shouted while enjoying his time.
Mihawk this time is out there; he said that he had a duel scheduled with Shanks. Two days later he returned with a lot of small cuts; he said he won because there's still a large gap between him and Shanks.
Raeven just nodded. Also, this year Monet ate the Blood Fruit. Raeven let her choose if she wanted the Blood Fruit, the Snow Fruit, or the Float Fruit. In the end, she chose the Blood Fruit, and then she began to study about human anatomy. As a god-level doctor, Raeven gave all of his notes to Monet, which made her really happy.
As usual, Monet and Robin are inseparable; the two of them are like twins. If you see Robin, you will see Monet. They said that they were very close because the two of them have the same hobby. Also, Monet's farsightedness is cured; Raeven gave her a Senzu Bean that cured her eyes.
As one of the secrets of their family, Raeven warned them to never say it to anyone unless they are family members; the two girls obediently nodded.
Also this year's sign-in reward is called Blessing of the Sea; it's a passive buff that lets Raeven move in the sea just like on the land. He can even breathe underwater. After experimenting for a while, he found out that he can even communicate with the fishes and sea kings.
"Did I just become Poseidon?"
