The faces of little Ru and the others changed, they didn't accept how they were going to be a part of such a dangerous task without even asking for their opinions, but then Robert saw old Frank look at him and giving him signs to calm them down, understanding what he meant, Robert turned his head to them and said:

"Don't be upset, this opportunity might be our only way to leave this place, it's dangerous yes, but nothing like this will ever happen again, if we stay here we might regret wasting this chance for the rest of our lives, we should be happy for being chosen." Te tried to show them that being chosen wasn't really that bad and all because he knew that they had no way to deal with Dan and the others even if they were upset about it.

Dan waited for a while and no one lifted his hand, just as he was starting to sigh while shaking his head thinking how he was going to need to act as a kidnapper, someone lifted his hand, looking at him clearly he found that it was the gate keeper, the one that he had just talked with, he lifted his hand and said:

"I heard what you said and I will join you, I'm just a helper and I don't know a lot of things about ships but I learn fast and can do a lot of things that demand using force."

He decided to gamble on it, even though all of what Dan said was unbelievable and seemed weird, he was still able to remember how Randy used that thing he always had on his waist to kill two blood power users with ease, add that to what Dan told him before he got un the stage he decided to take the bet, if he lose he would only die which was something he was ready for ever since he started working as the gate heeper, but in the case of him winning, he would be free and be a part of something he never thought he could be a part of.

"Welcome on board, can you tell me your name." Dan nodded at the man while smiling kindly.

"My name is Allan" the gate keeper answered.

"Great, then Allan go and get ready we will be moving in the next two hours." Dan said to Allan before looking at the crowd and asking:

"So are there any other people who want to join us?"

This time a voice comes as soon as he finished his words:

"I want to join you, can I?"

The source of the voice was behind him, Dan turned his head and he got a mini shock as he did, the person who talked was Mad Dog, one of the strongest people in the city.

Not just Dan was shocked everyone there was, the reputation of Mad Dog was known in the city, he was someone who never listens to another person and only cares about what he wants to do, for someone like that to accept being under another person's must be unthinkable but he still did it, making them all wonder just what was wrong with him, or what was he plotting.

"Of course you can, a blood power user will always be welcomed." Dan said, he didn't know why Mad Dog wanted to go with them, but what he was sure of was that after he did many others would also decide to join.

Mad Dog never cared about what people thought about him, so he just turned a blind eye to the curious eyes of the peoples around him, since the first time he had the idea of fighting against the one eyed dragon gang's new leaders he had that uncomfortable feeling as if a terrible thing was going to happen, as if he was going to meet a disaster.

Fortunately he didn't do anything unthinkable like killing or hurting anyone of their ganga before meeting them, which meant that he still had hope of avoiding it.

Knowing that the people who can make him feel such a thing, weren't normal he decided to join them after he heard about Dan and the others' plan, it was dangerous yes but it also would give a big deal of rewards if done well.

"I also want to join." another voice sounded, and just like the time before the voice was just from the place next to Mad Dog.

Looking clearly it was the bald middle aged man who was always with Mad Dog, his right hand man.

"Welcome." Dan said.

"I... I want to join." a trembling voice sounded, it come from the crowd of people, looking carefully it come from a young crewmen.

"Welcome, any others, please know that you don't need to worry about anything just talk and you will join us."

After seeing so many people decide to join people started calling up one by one.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

In the end there was a total of twenty three people who joined them, thirteen crewmen, two guards who happened to be there and eight blood power users, the bald middle aged man, Mad Dog, and Allan included of course.

Seeing that Dan smiled and said:

"So everyone get ready to move, I will give you two hours to get ready after that we will set sail to the ocean."

The twenty three people then moved doing their best to collect their belongings and bringing them to Barbarossa, it was easier for people from the one eyed dragon's gang as they were on their on their base, but for the other they and to move a long way before making it to their base, and then they still had to get their things and return to the cave to put them in the ship.

Dan then turned his head to the six leaders and said:

"you should know that all what I just said was true, if you ever have the chance, or simply changed your minds try leaving during the Great Migration in the coming years, or at least start making a bigger faster ship, who knows when you will need it?"

He felt that he at least needed to say that before leaving, it was for the coming generations in area 07.

After he said that Dan left the leaders as he headed to Barbarossa, soon after he and the others were inside the empty space inside it, the empty space that Dan asked for when he returned there on his own.

"So you are ready now?" Dan asked Robin who was standing next to him looking at the empty space.

"Yeah I'm alright, I collected enough power to teleport it to this place, don't worry it's possible." Robin answered.

"Ok that's great, here have your time and look at every part here make sure that nothing is wrong, and that it will fit here."

"It will, the space here is big enough."

The dragon they fought was a little bit smaller than the normal ones so the ship was still able to handle it.

"Then we are leaving, after we go do your thing." saying that Dan patted him on the shoulder before leaving the room with the others.

Robin waited till they were all gone before teleporting to where the dragon's corps was.

He appeared next to the dragon's corps and put both his hands on it before taking a deep breath and closing his eyes, a second later he and the corps disappeared from that place leaving only the destroyed ground there as a witness of what happened.

Dan and the others were on top of Barbarossa waiting for Robin to return, they didn't have to wait for long, because soon after they made it there, the ship sank down as if a great weight was put on it.

Looking at each other the five smiled before going down to the hold again, when they entered they saw the corps of the dragon which took a great part of the space there, Robin was standing next to it panting heavily.

Dan and the other headed toward him:

"Brother are you alright" Anie asked worriedly.

"I'm alright no need to worry, just a little bit tired that's all." Robin said.

"After we enter the ocean you can get a room and rest. You worked hard today." Dan said while patting him on the shoulder, the person who did the most n their fight against the dragon was Robin, he was also the main reason why they won the fight without any of them getting injured.

"Yeah I will." Robin said with a smile.

After that they started talking together while spending time waiting for everyone to return so they could set sail.

"So, we are ready to leave?" Nero asked suddenly.

"Yeah after everyone return we will leave." Dan answered him, there was nothing else that they had to do.

"The wind is in our side right now." Nero added, he had been keeping an eye on the wind on the last few days and he found that it was on their side for most of the time, which calmed him down a little.

"Yeah it is, if it stays like this for a while more, our chance of running will be way bigger." Dan sighed.

"You noticed right, how the ship has gotten heavier after we added the dragon, it will probably be way too slow without a strong wind." Randy said.

"Yeah we noticed it, but what can we do, let's just wish that we will be far enough when the dragons return, or that they won't even go far onto the ocean, then we might have a chance to leave here safely." Dan said.

Hearing his words the others didn't add anything, they knew the dangers which they were putting themselves in since the beginning, yet they choose to go on with the plan, it was because they knew that it was probably their only hope as no other way seemed good enough for them to act by.

"As I said, there are dangerous scenarios, but also good ones, so let's just push through it together." seeing them accepting what they were going to go through Dan added that as a way to motivate them.

While they were waiting for the crewmen and those that were going with them to return Dan and the others returned to the cave.

After standing there for a while Dan saw little Ru walking with Robert, he walked toward them and asked:

"Robert, everything is good right? no problems were found?"

Barbarossa was their hope in their journey so they had to make sure that nothing was wrong with it.

"No, just now we checked everything again, there's nothing wrong, we forget nothing, and everyone is ready, as soon as the others return with their belongings we will be ready to move." Robert said.

Dan's words about crossing the ocean were surprising and they almost gave him a heart attack, he got a great fear about how maybe Barbarossa won't be able to handle such a long and tiring journey, but fortunately, after checking it clearly he was surprised to find that Barbarossa was on a good shape, and it would be able to crossed the ocean if nothing unexpected happened, which made him a little bit calmer.

"That's great, I'm counting on you then, and you little Ru." Dan patted Robert's shoulder, before turning his attention to little Ru, as she was the reason why he came to them.

"Yeah... What do you want?" little Ru asked in surprise she didn't expect Dan to call her.

"You said that you are a navigator, right?"

"Yes I'm a navigator, the best in the base." She didn't know why he asked her about that but she still answered proudly, her ability to navigate was the thing that she was the most proud of about herself.

"Then you most have noticed that our crew only has you and that old man from the Mad Dog gang as navigators, right?"
