"Yes, those guys have a distinct aura," Mihawk added.
"I met them and trained with them before; I even met him there," Shanks said.
"And you got a contract too, right? Or should I say covenant?" Raeven said, and this surprised Shanks.
"You see what happened at Harald when that power took control of him; if you want to be really free, then find a way to remove that mark," Raeven added.
"Hahahaha, nothing can really hide from you, Raeven-san, and you don't sound scared by them at all. Don't worry, I will find a way sooner to remove this. Nobody wants to be suddenly controlled out of nowhere, right?" Shanks said.
"You'll find it sooner than you think," Raeven said mysteriously, which made Shanks and Benn quiet.
"Enough of the serious talks; if you can't finish a barrel of gin this time, then don't come back here," Raeven said as he smiled and the Red Hair Pirates grinned.
"All right, guys! We received a challenge. The first one to get drunk is an Okama," Shanks shouted.
"OHHH!!!" The party became crazy again as everyone drank as long as they could.
Midnight came, and a lot of people are already sleeping on the ground. Shanks, Benn, Mihawk, Raeven, and Enel are still drinking.
"Raeven-san, I have a favor to ask," Shanks said.
"I already did it; don't worry, just don't tell her about it. Once the world discovers that the curse of the sea doesn't affect her, she'll be in big trouble. You guys are going to Elegia, right?" Raeven asked, which surprised the Red Hair Pirates officers.
"The song fruit has a history on that island; you better take caution once you reach that island," Raeven said, and they just nodded. If Raeven is the one saying that, they will take it very seriously.
The Red Hair Pirates stayed on Sixis Island for a whole month. Shanks and Mihawk had a duel that nearly sank Grove 4, which they hurriedly restored after their fight.
When they left the island, their ship's kitchen had a new upgrade, and Uta had a lot of new music gadgets and Den Den Mushi on her new bag. Mihawk, Raeven, and Hancock waved them goodbye as they sailed away, heading to their destination, which is Dawn Island.
"Raeven-san, we'll leave tomorrow too. Also, Grandma Nyon told me that the Meat tree you gave to them are growing well,"meat trees Hancock said.
Now Hancock is 17 years old, just months shy of becoming 18 years old. She now wears the iconic red dress designed for empresses of Amazon Lily, the snake earrings, and a black cloak, and she has her own snake now, which she named Solome.
"Then they have a meat-producing tree right there. How's their life at Amazon Lily?" Raeven asked as they walked on the port looking at the Perfume Yuda, which is now a lot larger than the original one. Right now the Perfume Yuda is being pulled by four giant snakes.
"Since Shakky-san and Tritoma-san allied with the Dracule Family, the life on the island improved, right? We didn't have to hunt down and loot pirates and merchants anymore. The living standard on the island became much better too. We even have a small school there right now. Sister Robin and Big Sis Stussy really helped me a lot," she said.
"We are all family here; helping your own is normal," Raeven said, then he patted Hancock's head, which started to steam.
"Hmmm, Raeven-san called me his family. Is he already proposing to me? Should I change my surname already? But Big Sis Stussy might get angry if I get first," Hancock started whispering, which made Raeven's smile twitch.
"Did the world government contact you recently?" Raeven asked.
"Yes, but I haven't accepted their offer yet, but their offer is really good; they're giving the whole Jaya Island to us legally. I will become its owner together with the other benefits of being a warlord if I join," she said.
"Then accept it, though you didn't need it being a warlord, and having you and your crew's bounty being frozen is still a good trade; then you can sail the seas without guarding against the Marines too much," Raeven said.
"That's the same thing Grandma Nyon and Shakky-san said. Now that the Amazon Lily is still in development, what we are lacking is stability. Once I turn 18, I'll accept their offer. Accepting their offer is beneficial for our resort at Jaya Island," Hancock said.
"That's good; you're really beautiful when you act serious like that," Raeven whispered to Hancock, which made her face red again and her head started steaming.

"Raeven-san, you won't believe it. I met a kid here at Foosha Village who said the same thing as Captain Roger said before, and his aura is really something. I think I found it already—the one Captain Roger is waiting for," Shanks said on the call. He is very excited.
"That kid is Vice Admiral Garp's grandson, right? Be careful; if that old man returned suddenly and saw that you are corrupting his grandson, then he would kill you," Raeven said as he laughed.
"Hahaha, don't worry, we'll run before he arrives here. Also, I got my eyes on every entrance and exit here; unless that old man fell from the sky, we can always slip away before he sees us," Shanks said.
Raeven imagined what Garp did at Hachinosu, and he shook his head. That old man won't do something like that at his own village.

This day Koushirou and his family arrived at the Sixis Island; nine-year-old Kuina will begin her study here for a year before she starts to join the training camp.
Koushirou told Raeven that recently a kid from his family line arrived at his dojo to challenge it, but he lost to Kuina, which made the kid stay.
"I'll do my best so he won't fall too far. When he becomes 10 years old, I'll take him here to train," Koushirou said, to which Raeven just nodded. Before the couple left, Raeven gave them a lot of fruits and pastries that the girls made.
A few days later a new warlord was crowned; Boa Hancock had her epithet changed to 'Pirate Empress' and her bounty changed to 320 million belis before it was frozen by the world government. Currently there are 5 warlords: Raeven, Mihawk, Hanafuda, Crocodile, and Hancock.
"Soon Jinbe will join, and then Doflamingo will join too. Now that Ace is with us here, who will defeat Hanafuda?" Raeven silently muttered in his mind.
Raeven didn't think about it anymore; he let the world take its course. He stood up from his chair and took out his farming hat, and then he headed to his farm. It's close to harvest season, so he needs to check up on his crops.
This year Tritoma officially joined the Dracule Family; the two of them are already engaged, and now she and Mihawk are living at Grove 6. Tritoma even said that in the future she wants to have 4 children, which made Raeven very happy. When Mihawk heard this, his lips just twitched; after that, he was grabbed by Tritoma towards their new house.
That night Raeven was surprised when Stussy visited his room, saying that she had a new invention that she needed to test.
"This small device can tell if a girl is ready to have a child; it will show a green light if a girl is ovulating and red if she's not." Raeven looked at the small item like a coin on Stussy's hand, which had a green light. Before Stussy locked his door, he just smiled and opened up his arms wide.
"Be prepared for endless rounds," he said.
The next day 10-year-old Ace came back on his daily patrol of the area of Sixis Island. This mission was given to him by Raeven so he can practice controlling his devil fruit power. When Ace came back, he got two more people on his ship.
Polaris docked on the port, and Tom quickly pushed the stretcher out, then he looked at the middle-aged man who was missing a leg, and then he carried him and put the man on the stretcher, which he hurriedly pushed away to the island's clinic.
"What happened?" Enel appeared in a flash beside Ace, who was talking to a blonde kid who was crying.
"I don't know the details, but these two got shipwrecked on a small reef. I found them when I was patrolling the nearby areas with Tom. As for why he is missing a foot, I don't know; I didn't ask," Ace said.
"He ate his foot so I can eat; he gave all the food to me," the crying blonde kid said.
"I thought that he was still hiding a lot of food in his sack, but when I tried to look at it, I found out that it's all gold, and his foot is missing," he said as he cried harder.
