Chapter 61 - Chapter 60: City Planning

"Are you really going to leave already?" Luffy said as he looked at Raeven and the others already onboard Polaris.

"We just came here to deliver some booze. If you want to see us, come visit us at Sixis Island, Luffy," Ace said, then he made Polaris float, which made Luffy's eyes wide.

"Strive to get stronger, future Pirate King; till next time," Raeven said, and Sugar just waved goodbye.

"Wait for me; I'll definitely visit you guys in the future!" Luffy said as he waved goodbye. Beside him is Makino, who is waving goodbye too.

"They're gone," Luffy said as he watched the ship vanish on the horizon.

"Shanks, Sabi, and that red-eyed uncle, wait for me; I'll definitely meet you guys in the future," Luffy said as he grinned.

"Come on, let's head back too; today I'll teach you how to read and write," Makino said as she walked back to her home.

On the Polaris, Raeven is sitting on the rails of the ship while looking at the sea.

"Monkey D. Luffy, what a charismatic kid. Now I'm excited to see what will happen in the future, how far he can go till he gets stopped, and who is going to become his wings. Robin is already with me."

"Sanji is training at the island once a year, so his future self will become much stronger. As for Zoro, Koushirou said that he will accompany that kid here when he is 10 or when he is prepared. Hopefully he won't get lost. Among all of Luffy's wings, only Nami and Ussop remain. I already met the baby Nami. I wonder what they are doing right now?" Raeven said as he looked at the area where Cocoyashi is.

Grove 21

Sixis Island

East Blue

Raeven is currently on the newly formed island on Grove 21; around him are Ace, Kuina, and Sanji.

Ace is busy looking around the island, while Kuina is busy drawing the things Raeven is telling her. She is drawing the blueprint of this Grove 21. This is Kuina's new hobby; the girls recently learned that she is talented in drawing, so she became Raeven's assistant in island planning.

Sanji is busy catching some large crabs with a net; he said that those crabs taste good if they get cooked. As for why Sanji is here, he is here for his mandatory 1-month training every year.

"Your sisters want to build a cafe here; they said that they want the rooms around the mangrove tree," Raeven said as he pointed at the medium-sized mangrove.

"So what kind of materials are they going to use to build the cafe, Big Brother?" Kuina asked as she drew some outlines in her drawing book.

"Stussy said that she already made the super alloy; maybe that's going to be the main material for this cafe. We have to build it sturdy; the weather in the New World is really extreme," Raeven said.

"Got it, big brother. I got the future dimensions of the tree already; as for the designs, I better go ask the sisters about it," Kuina said as she closed her drawing book.

"Ace, let's go. Stop looking at the three already, and Sanji, you already got too many crabs," Kuina said. Then Ace nodded. He was thinking if he could make his own shop too in the future, but what should he sell? When he heard Kuina's call, he immediately turned, and both of them stood on a piece of wood, then it floated up, and it sped up, heading straight to Sixis Island.

Raeven, who was left alone on Grove 21, opened up his small notebook to look at his next things to do.

"Grove 22 is going to be Kozaburo's, the old man's blacksmith grove, as he said that he wants his personal space so he can forge peacefully."

"Grove 23-27 should be modeled to become flatlands with high mountains or hills as a windbreak, so this is for expanding our rice paddies and medicinal plants that Monet wants to grow, huh?"

"Grove 28 is Uta's Music Room? That girl is not a member of our family, but she is already requesting some things, huh? It doesn't matter; soon she'll join our family."

"Grove 29, Sugar's winter island—Sugar wants an island to practice her devil fruit powers. Okay, then Grove 29 is hers. As for the other 2, Groves 30 and 31, they won't have a plan yet."

"An arena at the Sixis Island. Then I need to expand the wine cellars too; after that, the residential area should be improved too. There's too much to do," Raeven said as he took out a sign that had "Cafe Grove 21" on it and stabbed it into the ground. Then he walked on the water heading to Grove 22, where he will plant a sign too.

On Kuina's side, she first headed to the meeting room, and the others quickly arrived. Stussy arrived first, floating above the ground; her belly is very visible.

"Fufu, did everyone already pick what they want?" She asked as she sat down on a chair beside the big round table. Kuina greeted her, and she sat too.

"Everyone already picked what they want; the only issues are the designs of the buildings and the layout of each Grove," Kuina said. A ninja Khan appeared, which gave them a glass of tea.

Monet and Sugar arrived, and after a few seconds, Enel arrived, then Ace arrived too, and then a few minutes later, Robin arrived last.

"Ara, it looks like I'm late; the liquors have been picked up by Sister Hancock," she said as she sat down near Stussy.

"Big brother Raeven is busy right now, and while Master Mihawk is on Sabaody Archipelago with Big Sis Tritoma, we can start the designs now. The first one is Grove 21, which is the cafe of Big Sis Robin and Monet," Kuina said, and then Stussy clicked some things on the table, and a den den mushi popped out, which showed the layout of the whole Grove 21.

"I already talked to Hancock about the human resources needed for this when we opened up. As for the floors needed, should we make it 6 or 7 floors?" Robin asked Monet.

"6 floors is perfect; as for the size, it doesn't need to be very big, just 6 private rooms per floor. The room size should be about 400 square meters. As for the first floor, make it a normal cafe, with about 20 tables and a nice bar and kitchen," Monet said.

"Big Sis, can you install an elevator for our shop?" Robin asked Stussy.

"No problem. As for the floor designs and layouts, you three should work on them. If it's about the materials, then leave it to me," Stussy said.

"Then next on our agenda is Grandpa Smith; he said he wants his own peaceful place, so he was assigned Grove 22. He doesn't want a large smithy, just the right size. Also, he said that he needs a large room where he can place the weapons he makes or the things he repairs," Kuina said.

"Let's put Kozaburo-san's Smithy as the priority; the girls training on the island need their weapon when they train at sea," Stussy said, and everyone agreed.

"For Grove 23 to 27, those are assigned to Big Brother Raeven, so we don't need to worry about it. Grove 28 is Uta's music studio; in a few years she said she'll join our family after she finishes her training at Elegia, so she requested a music studio," Kuina said.

"Then we can make it last, as no one is going to use it for a while. After the other Groves are done, I'll make her equipment," Stussy said. Everyone agreed on it.

"Grove 29 is a winter island, which is perfect for Sugar to practice her power. It's also a perfect place for us trainees to practice survival and adaptation in extreme cold weather. Big Brother Raeven said that the structures we are going to build must be very sturdy, as the weather on the New World changes very, very quickly," Kuina said. Then Enel, who was silent on his chair, opened up his eyes as he smiled.

"Finally, the Fighting Arena should be built 2 kilometers away from the Dracule Tower. I already have the blueprint sketch for that arena, but everyone should help me on it," Kuina said.

"Also, once we finished all of this, Big Brother told me that he is going to expand the wine cellars and rearrange the houses at the residential area," Kuina added.

"Very good, having you as my little assistant is the best, Kuina-chan," Stussy said.

"Nobody leaves; let's finish these things first. After that everyone will be free to do what they want," Stussy said, and everyone nodded.

"For the arena, we should build it the best, and it should be made of strong materials. What did Raeven say about it?" Stussy asked Kuina.

"Big brother told me that he found a platinum mine 200 meters away from the island. Once he and Tom are swimming, he said that we can use those for the base and foundation of our arena," Kuina answered.

"A platinum mine, huh? That's good. I'll make some mining robots. First we should make the smithy of Kozaburo-san, then next is mining those platinum ores, and after that we can make the arena."

"We can make the outline of our own island too, starting there. Perfect. In the future, Sixis Island will be like those well-developed islands from big kingdoms," Robin said.

"Transporting materials is mine," Ace said.

"I'll help Ace once I'm done training the trainees; I just can't abandon my post, right?" Enel said.

"Robin, contact Shakky-san. Once we finish our meeting, we need to buy a large amount of materials. Use the belis when buying. Big Brother Raeven told me that in the future the amount of gold will be much higher," Stussy said.

"Okay, let's continue this meeting," Stussy said, and Kuina nodded, ready to continue talking about the Arena and the layout of the Sixis Island.
