Chapter 3 - 3 Side Quest

"System! Can you give me a temporary body?"

In the White Space. The lost soul asks the System.

[Yes! But you can only roam inside the Dungeon, Since it's a fabricated body made by the System, that can only support the damaged soul of the Administrator, inside the Dungeon.]

"It's okay."

"I just need to check the people myself to choose a good Champion." The soul said, with a gloomy voice, still hoping that he can roam outside the Dungeon.

Later on, a screen appeared in front of the soul.

"Skin color, eye color, height, weight... hmm."

'Hell it's too complicated!'

"System! can't you just make me look like Erwin Smith! With a lost arm to make me look like an NPC?"

[Ok!]

"Ok then, let's go!"

And so, the soul vanished in the White Space.

Ruined Mansion-

"-And so, I became a Captain of eight thousands of men."

*Clap!*

*Clap!*

*Clap!*

"Wow! Ussop! I didn't know that such a strong man like you lives in East Blue." Raikou praises sarcastically.

"He! He! I know right! That's why East Blue is the most peaceful sea among the four Blues. It's because of me! Captain Ussop!! Well although I call myself a Pirate, I'm actually a great warrior of the sea. He! He!"

'It's not a compliment! Well, it's okay because I'm humble.' Raikou thought, after seeing Ussop proud of his discernable lies.

After a few minutes of rest earlier. The three decided to check the inside of the mansion, to check for some supplies, and to check the place if it's safe for those cryptid beasts.

The mansion looks too old, and creepy. The whole place is dark and full of cobwebs, that it looks like it's been ready for Halloween.

Opening a door. The three found a stair that leads in the basement of the mansion. A cold breeze suddenly blows to the three, making them feel chill, and their hair standing.

"I-I, suddenly remember that I have a don't go in the basement sickness. So, I'm gonna stay here." Ussop said with trembling knees.

Seeing Ussop trembled, a bright idea suddenly bloomed in Raikou's head.

"Um, um, as expected of Captain Ussop. You're faking you're sickness so you can stay here and roam here above, while guarding the entrace here to the basement. You don't need to do it, but it's ok, I will not stop you." Raikou said, then he grabbed Nami's hand and drove deep in the basement.

Ussop has been left there alone, with his wide eyes open. He didn't expect that what he said will backfire on him.

'Wait!! Don't leave me here!!' Ussop shouts in his heart, but he can't go down because he doesn't want to become a total liar, and a coward in front of that terrifying Marine.

Deep in the Basement. Nami is quite shocked at what Raikou did, he suddenly grabs her hand and leads her here, which is why she suddenly has a bad feeling that this guy will do something ill.

She put her hands ready to draw her staff, but she's been halted, at what Raikou says next to her.

"I'm sorry!"

She's been stunned. She looked at Raikou and saw his serious face.

"On behalf of the Marines, I'm sorry! For what the Marines did to you!"

"I-It's Ok!" 'How did he know?' Nami thought.

"No, it's not! I know if a person tells a truth or a lie. And now, I know it's not ok."

"I'm so sorry!" He again, apologized, then he bowed lightly.

Nami is completely confused. She, herself completely hates the whole Marines, including Raikou in there, that's why she didn't speak towards him. But now, he feels a bit of respect towards Raikou. But only on Raikou, not the whole Marine.

*Sigh!*

Nami, finally relaxed herself. She looks at Raikou and taps him on his shoulder.

"It's okay! for real. Now let's continue." She said, and started walking deep in the basement.

"By the way! Why did you leave Ussop back there?"

"Well, he's becoming a bit arrogant about his discernable lies. I just punish him a bit so he can learn not to be confident in his lies."

"I'm just being humble. Because I'm too~ Perfect." Raikou confidently said, making Nami's brow twitch.

'Too Arrogant' She tought.

After a while, they finally reach the end of the stairs. There, stood a creepy old looking wooden door. It's thick, and there's scratch there everywhere.

"Should we go?"

"Yeah! It's more safe to check every corner of this mansion before we decide to stay here." Raikou then opens the door.

Inside is total dark. They enter inside, with Raikou holding a torch that they light up earlier.

The room is large, and full of cobwebs and dust. Just before they started to explore the room, a blue screen suddenly lit up in front of them, making them stop in their tracks.

"W-what. Is there someone who will k-kill me!?" Ussop stuttered, scared on the quest he read.

Suddenly, cold chill suddenly enveloped him, sweats started to accumulate on his body. He wanders his eyes around him.

Wooden chair.

Broken cabinets.

Destroyed table.

He looked around, and saw nothing unusual.

*Sigh!*

He breathed a sigh of relief. When suddenly, a drop of slimy liquid fall on him. He was stunned. His heart almost burst out, because of shock.

*Gulp!*

He slowly turned around. Everything feels so slow, or maybe it's just him that is slow.

When he finally turn 180°, he was shocked that his eyes almost pop out.

"UWWWWAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"
