One Piece: Starting as a Marine Lieutenant, I Slack Off and Get Stronger

"Adventurers' Guild? Wait, wasn't there a Cross Guild a while ago?"

"Hahaha, this is great, brothers! This Adventurers' Guild is practically made for us bounty hunters! Look, completing missions not only earns you Beli, but also accumulates reputation to increase your adventure rank. The highest rank is SSS-level adventurer! Wait, there's even a ranking system?"

"What? Let me see... As long as you become an S-class adventurer, the Navy will publicly award you the Star Explorer Medal and a reward of 10 billion Berries!!!"

"Watfa?! Ah, I'm sure!!!"

After a chaotic scene, the bounty hunters reached a consensus: they would definitely join the Adventurers' Guild!

That's right, Sakazuki really went all out to attract people to join the Adventurers' Guild, after all, money can move people's hearts!

The S-rank adventurer reward is just a gimmick; the real prize is the initial commission reward.

However, Sakazuki had already devised a perfect solution.

New World, Thousand Sunny.

"Everyone come quick! The Navy is up to something big again!" Brooke shouted, holding up a newspaper.

"What?" "Let me see!" Usopp, Luffy, and the others fought over it, and with no other choice, the strongest Armament Haki user had to take matters into his own hands.

bang bang bang~

"What are you all doing here, acting like you care so much? Robin, come and see!"

Nami handed the newspaper to Robin with a smile, completely ignoring the group with bumps on their heads.

"Thank you, Nami, um, let me see..." and then nothing more.

Robin's pupils widened in shock, and he was speechless for a moment.

Seeing Robin's condition, the others seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation. Chopper cautiously asked, "Robin, what's wrong?"

Robin looked at Chopper, paused for a moment, and then said, "The Navy has established the Adventurers' Guild."

"Adventures' Guild? What's that? It sounds pretty interesting." Luffy was very interested in the word "adventure." Come to think of it, since arriving in the New World, he had been fighting all the time and hadn't really had any real adventures.

"The so-called Adventurers' Guild is similar to the bounty hunter organization established by the Navy. Adventurers who join the Adventurers' Guild can accept commissions issued by the Adventurers' Guild to earn money and reputation rewards, such as assisting the Navy in hunting down bounty criminals, escorting merchant ships, and transporting packages."

"So that means if I join the Adventurers' Guild, I can take on quests and earn money, right?" Nami's eyes had already turned into the shape of Belial.

Robin nodded: "That's right."

Sanji exhaled a smoke ring and calmly analyzed, "If that's the case, isn't that a good thing? What's the difference between those bounty hunters and thugs? Now that the Navy is in charge, things should be much better."

"You lecherous kappa, who are you calling a thug?! Do you believe I'll kill you?!"

Sanji was stunned for a moment, then angrily shouted at Zoro, "Come on if you dare! I'll kick you and you're done for!"

These two sworn enemies are about to start arguing again. Nami shook her head helplessly and blew on her fist.

Bang bang~ Two punches landed, and the world fell silent.

"You all better behave yourselves! Robin hasn't finished speaking yet! Robin, this Adventurers' Guild is definitely not as simple as it seems!"

"That's right. In the past, bounty hunters were just a loose organization with a fixed range of activities and varying levels of personnel quality. Their only means of income was hunting pirates for bounties."

"But the Adventurers' Guild is preparing for the Navy exam, and with the Navy's guarantee, it means that the Adventurers' Guild can obtain various commissions from all walks of life, thus obtaining a stable source of commissions, which can be distributed to adventurers' guilds around the world, allowing adventurers to accept commissions and receive bounties, forming a virtuous cycle."

At this point, Zoro, who used to be a bounty hunter, became serious. After thinking about it carefully, Zoro couldn't help but gasp.

"Does the Adventurers' Guild provide jobs for everyone?"

Robin shook his head: "It's not that exaggerated, but it's close. There are some things that someone has to do. It's just that because of the lack of information, no one knows. Now that the Navy is in charge of the overall operation, everyone has another way out."

"What way?"

"The path of adventurers, as adventurers."

Sanji remained silent for a long while, then said quietly, "I understand, the Navy, they want adventurers to eliminate pirates!"

Robin nodded in agreement; "I think that's the fundamental purpose of the Adventurers' Guild."

Chapter 354 The Adventurers' Guild Journey of the Twin Sword Gods

"Speaking of which, we haven't encountered any other pirate crews on the high seas lately!"

Zoro rubbed the large bump on his head and said irritably, "Isn't that a good thing? Why think so much? Our goal now is Elbaf, isn't it?"

Luffy grinned and said, "That's right, why worry about so much? Just do our own thing!"

Nami shook her head helplessly. These guys were as carefree and self-centered as ever! But what they said wasn't entirely unreasonable.

Why worry about so much? Anyway, they're about to reach Elbaf. Once they find the last red Poneglyph, they'll reach the final island and complete their journey.

Robin turned to look at the distant sea, where he could vaguely make out a huge island, and a smile crept onto his lips.

The last red road sign's historical text is almost here. All signs indicate that once we reach Laugh Tale, we will know what exactly happened during the lost century. I'm really looking forward to it!

Just as the Straw Hat crew was about to embark on a new journey, the Navy was also busy.

With the help of a large number of people, the trade union federations in various places have been completed one after another.

It took less than half a month in total, which is very fast.

The reason it was possible to do so quickly was largely thanks to Lieutenant General Peng En.

After the naval competition concluded, in addition to officially announcing the Adventurers' Guild, the Navy also officially announced the closure of nearly 50 naval branches, most of which were far from towns and of little strategic significance.

Sakazuki simply ordered Penn to uproot these naval branches and bring them to the airspace above the Sabaody Archipelago, where he then gathered craftsmen to remodel them.

Eight of the larger branches were selected as the Adventurers' Guild and, after being renovated, were immediately transported by Lieutenant General Peng En to their designated locations.

Donghai, Rogge Town.

The East China Sea has been calm recently. Apart from the Rogge Town Naval Branch announcing a reduction in the number of East China Sea Naval Branches, nothing major has happened. But today, Rogge Town has become lively, with people gathering together to discuss the small island that appeared to have fallen from the sky to the left of Rogge Town.

"Adventurers' Guild! Is this the Adventurers' Guild the Navy was talking about a while ago? They just dropped in out of nowhere! I thought it would take a long time to build!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, looks pretty good! Hey, wanna go check it out? It seems to be open for business. I remember reading in the newspaper that anyone can go see it, right?"

"Let's go take a look. It's not like we'll lose anything. Anyway, the Adventurers' Guild is an organization under the Navy, so we can trust it!"

In the crowd, two men silently looked at the Adventurers' Guild ahead, exchanged a glance, and then nodded in tacit agreement.

Wearing a blue coat and carrying a large machete, Johnny said excitedly, "Joseph, our trip was definitely worthwhile."

Joseph, wearing a green coat, exhaled a smoke ring, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it: "Let's go! There's no time to lose, let's go take a look."

Then the two said in unison, "We must become the strongest adventurers in the East China Sea!!!"

......

Adventurers' Guild - East Sea General Guild.

"Hello, my name is Johnny. I used to be a bounty hunter and have captured many pirates. May I ask if we can join the Adventurers' Guild?"

"Hello Johnny, thank you so much for choosing the Adventurers' Guild, but if you want to join us, please fill out a form first." The young woman handed Johnny a blank form and said, "This information is very important, please fill it out carefully. If you are found to have falsified information, you will be permanently disqualified from being an adventurer."

Johnny scratched his head: "Oh, okay."

Joseph, standing behind him, coughed and said, "Um, I'll have one too. By the way, can I accept quests after becoming an adventurer?"

The young woman smiled and said, "Yes, look over there. That's our East Sea's list of commissions. The commission levels range from F to SSS. However, since the East Sea is relatively stable, most of the adventure commissions nowadays are escort and construction commissions. If you need them, you can take a look."

"Oh, that's great, thank you so much. Um, what's your name?"

"Just call me Catherine, sir."

Johnny and Joseph quickly thanked them, "Thank you, Catherine."

“Let’s go see what jobs we have.” Johnny strode toward the job list.

"Hey, aren't you going to fill out the form first?" "It's the same if you fill it out later."

Joseph and Johnny stared at the list of commissions for a long time, their mouths practically watering, as if Bailey were beckoning to them.

"Suck~"

Meanwhile, at the counter.
