Ok here is a new chapter. A lot of people had been enjoying this story and me too. Some say that it was really weird of Zeus coming out of nowhere to tell the Straw Hats to go and do a mission, the truth is that I got no other idea. I couldn't just have them sailing to some weird waters and then go to the Danmachi universe because they would question world government and others things.
Also here is something I want to clarify with you all. My idea of Loki being antagonistic. Now I know she is not an antagonist in the series, in fact I don't know if Danmachi has a recurring antagonist and no Freya doesn't count because she came to rescue the faction's numerous times. I don't hate the Loki Familia, I just don't like the way the people all see them as the unstoppable and most powerful familia. Ok, those must be their fans because it was established that the Freya Familia is the most powerful one and we don't get to see those guys very often, so I assume the Freya Familia has more fans. I know Loki isn't an asshole she cares for her members very much, but I saw and read ´´Sword of Oraraio´´ she is a manipulative, schematic, liar and double cross kind god who wants to be in control of everything, not as a ruler but as emcee. There are only three people in my opinion she can't trick or do something against: Freya, Hermes and Oruranos. So that's why I am so excited to write this story, because Luffy will be the first human being to fully scare and traumatize her. You will all see. Evil laugh.
I´m kind excited to work on this on because we are getting closer of dungeon exploring, so get all excited for this.
Here we go.
The Straw hats were all waiting for the news of the Goddess Hestia who looked more serious than slack right now. She was not with her usual chibi smile or carefree attitude, this time she was super serious. The old members of the familia could understood what she was going to, as a God she knows how the other ones work around the city, but in the other hand Hestia had the fame to be a very lack off and lazy god who only start to get serious just recently, so they better fill in some points.
''Ok Hestia what is this all about? Why the suspense?' Asked Nami
''Just tell us what is the deal with those familia. I wanna drink and then sleep.'' Said Zoro
Hestia took a long breath and then decided to talk about some of the most important familia in the city.
''Look, I can tell you all are strong but here is the thing. There are people who works for gods than want nothing than just crush others and destroy the weak. This city is the dream of every adventure in the country, there are monster that even pop out here above, so you need to know what do.'' Said Hestia.
''So why the big issue? You said you are one of the most growing familia in the city. What is the issue?" Asked Jinbei
''Because you need to know what familia you are dealing with and if they are safe to be hanging around.'' Said Hestia
''What?" Asked Carrot confused
Hestia then decided to say the whole story since the beginning. These people were out of the city and never seen a god before, so they must hear her.
''When we gods went down to this realm we over did. At first, we just wanted to enjoyed being with you mortals, but after a while we got all bored, so we decided to create our own things. Me…not so much. I had no other quality or idea what to do here, I didn't had a job or home so I stayed with a friend of mine for some centuries until she kicked me out.'' Said Hestia remembering Hephastous kicking her out of her familia for being super lazy.
The Straw hats took note of all that and could see what kind background Hestia had come from. No wonder they lived in that abandoned Church, she probably stayed broken for years. Some Straw Hats had sympathy for her (Luffy, Usopp, Sanji, Nami, Robin, Chopper, Brook and Carrot) while others not so much (Usopp, Franky, Jinbei, Zoro and Yamato).
''So, you pretty stay at the cost of your friend for years. Man, you suck as a god.'' Said Zoro straight forward to much of everyone shock.
''Ok yes, I did that! Yes, I was a slob, but I had nothing better to do, it wasn't until she kicked me out that I decided to get serious. Got a place to stay pretty cheap, ask to start my own familia, got a job and then got more in touch with some allies. How about that Zoro I went from the looser goddess from heaven to one of the most growing one in the city. I´m basically a new person.'' Said Hestia with a smirk.
''She still a bit lazy.'' Said Lily making Hestia bubble pop.
''Skip work most of the time.'' Said Mikoto.
''And we have to do a lot of paperwork.'' Said Welf
''Is not that great of a job.'' Said Haruhime with a little smile.
''I trust you all here in my home and this the thanks I get!'' Scream Hestia to her children.
''Well goddess-chan we know that you work very hard for us. So, I can accept you sleeping sometimes.'' Said Bell with a smile. He would never say something bad about Hestia.
''Oh Bell-kun, I know that you never would say something bad about me.'' Said Hestia hugging Bell arms.
The pirates then all sweat drop at that. All that it takes for Hestia to get good again is just a sweet talk from Bell. From the looks this woman is serious in love with this poor boy that with so much red in his cheeks that for people like Nami and Robin is adorable. But they still wanted to hear the whole story of the Familias and what should they do.
''Uh Godess. The talk.'' Said Robin
''Oh sorry, let's get back on track.'' Said Hestia with a little awkward smile.
''So how was the process of creating this whole system?" Asked Jinbei.
''And how were those familias years ago? I mean you gods can't just be around for just couple of years.''' Asked Nami.
''When the concept of familia were made the ones that were the most powerful in the whole city as well in the whole country were the Zeus and Hera familia.'' Said Hestia.
That got most of the Straw hats on the edge. So, Zeus had a familia, and it was one of the most powerful familia in the whole city. They wonder what happened to him to end it up in the heavens and contacting the Pirates.
''Zeus!'' Thought most of the crew in shock.
''Can you tell more about them goddess?" Asked Yamato
''Well yes. For years they were seen as the Orario greatest teams, nobody could survive them. Until a tragedy that happened in a exploration where most of them were killed by a legendary monster that to this day is still alive and no other adventurer is able to kill. Even our most powerful warriors of today are no match for that beast. So, the surviving members of the two familias decided to retire as adventure and most of them either died or went missing. It didn't help that most of the gods and their familias went to bully them to leave the city saying that they were failures to the whole system. About Zeus and Hera, I have no idea, but I have my guess that they are not with us anymore.'' Said Hestia explain the whole history of the Zeus and Hera familia.
Luffy on the other hand wanted to ask right away to Bell what he knew about Zeus.
''So, Bell do you know this Zeus guy?"'' Asked Luffy
''LUFFY!'' Scream the whole crew in shock as usual of their captain crazy ways.
Bell didn't understood what Luffy was going, but since he was polite he answer anyway.
''Actually no. I only heard about him on stories told by my grandfather.'' Said Bell
''Really?'' Asked Luffy
''Yes, he always told me the most incredible stories. Those were the ones that inspired me to be an adventure here in Orario.'' Said Bell being honest.
Luffy was liking this. It was almost like him and Shanks. So, Zeus inspired Bell to become a great adventure like him, that was so nice of him to do.
''Well ok.'' Said Luffy all relaxed.
The rest of the Straw Hat crew released a deep signed of relief, since Luffy didn't blew their cover.
''Are you guys ok?" Asked Lilth
''Yes, we are. Luffy just started us, it happens.'' Said Sanji
Hestia didn't know what the deal was but seeing that Luffy was a straight forward guy, she guess that this caused a lot of trouble for them in the past. Nami deciding to continue the talk asked Hestia about her past.
''So which god you were living with?" Asked Nami
''The goddess of Weapons Hephaestus. She is one of the few gods that I truly trust.'' Said Hestia.
''You two are such good friends?" Asked Yamato.
''Yes, she and I go way back and she saved my skin numerous times. It's because I saw her problem and wasn't disgusted by.'' Said Hestia
''Why?" Asked Carott
Hestia knew this was a very touch subject and if Hephaestus discovered that she told them about this, she would skin the little god alive, but Hestia wanted to be honest so she told them about her friend problem.
''Her right eye was damaged way back and since then people who ever saw turn away in fear or horror from her. I am only one of the few people who say her right eye and never look away.'' Said Hestia being humble.
Hestia kind liked being honest with her new familia about his. I guess this is why most of the gods tends to gather many people as they can, to feel like a huge family.
''So how did a good friendship end it up with you being kicked out?'' Asked Usopp.
''Yeah, I almost did nothing while staying at her house and constantly asked her for money.'' Said Hestia with an uncortable laugh.
''How long did you stay with her?" Asked Jinbei.
''I could say almost 20 years?'' Said Hestia feeling bad and the straw hats all sweat drop
''Lazy ass.'' Thought Zoro
''So, goddess-sama after being kicked you decided to live at your own?" Asked Robin
''Yes, so after that I started my own familia and it would be an exploration one. There was only one problem.'' Said Hestia
''What was it?" Asked Carrot.
''I need it someone to join my familia, everybody that I asked only walked away.'' Said Hestia remembering her failure in trying to start a familia
''that's when I meet Hestia-sama and joined her familia.'' Said Bell
''Bell you were the first person to join?'' Asked Luffy
''Yes, nobody wanted someone as weak as me so Hestia-sama received me with open arms.'' Said Bell
The pirates all smile at that. This was something so sweet, back at their world they could see Bell becoming a great pirate.
''So outside of the goddess of weapon is there anybody that we can trust here?" Asked Sanji
''There is also Miach-sama.'' Said Haruhime
''Who is this?'' Asked Nami
''he is the god of medicined and he is the best good when it comes to treatment around the city.'' Said Welf
''Really! Oh man I can't wait to meet him. Miach-sama must be so awesome, I have so many questions to ask to a god that is also a doctor. I can't wait to tell that I´m also a doctor.'' Said Chopper all excited.
''Slow down Chopper.'' Said Robin with a smile.
''Sorry.'' Said Chopper with a blush
''Does this guy also go around in dungeons or…'' Said Zoro but Hestia cuts him.
''No Miach has one of the smallest familia in the whole city. He only has three members, and he is quite happy with that.'' Said Hestia.
''Why?" Asked Chopper
''He runs a place called Blue Pharmacy that gives really goods potions and healing items towards adventures. However, he is not the best businessman and that got him in some serious debt, the only reason he is not in the street is because the people that stayed with him fixed his credit. That's what he gets for being too good with everyone.'' Said Hestia explaining the god of medicine.
''Ok so gods also are bad with money.'' Said Nami interested by that.
''This is easy coming from you.' Said Zoro
Nami then slapped Zoro right in the face.
SLAP
''ouch!'' Said Zoro
''Continue goddess. Is there another god that we can trust?" Asked Nami.
''Yes, only one more and he was the god that Mikoto served before transferring here.'' Said Hestia.
''What is his name?" Asked Jinbei
''Takemikazuchi.'' Said Mikoto saying that really long name.
''Tsukuchi?'' Asked Luffy
''Takemikazuchi.'' Said Mikoto.
''I´m calling him just Take.'' Said Luffy all simple must to the rest familia confusion.
''So, what is the deal with that guy?" Asked Sanji
''He is a good that is also an adventure and most of his members tend to know how to use swords or any kind of powerful weapons.'' Said Welf
''I was a member there ever since I was a child.'' Said Mikoto
''Really?'' Asked Carrot confused.
''Yes, but don't worry I didn't leave because I don't like Takemikazuchi-sama anymore. I´m in debt with the Hestia familia for something that they did for me. '' Said Mikoto.
''What was it?'' Asked Yamato.
Haruhime was still a little off by that. It was still a few months since Bell rescued her from Ishtar and she still very shaken by the whole events of that horrific night.
''What is wrong Haruhime-chan?'' Asked Sanji
Bell knew that the Haruhime was still a little shy to speak about Ishtar, while he wanted to make a statement Luffy spoke up.
''Is ok if you guys don't want tell us right now. I can see that this must be a crazy story so leave for another time.'' Said Luffy all calm.
''No Luffy-sama I want to tell you all. You are all our new familia members and none of you are from Orario so I need to clarify something.'' Said Haruhime trying to be more open.
The Straw Hats got surprised by that way of speaking, so far Haruhime was like the shyest and purest girl in the familia so what could had happened to her that would make her so shaken?
''Before I was a member of the Hestia familia I was a member of the Ishtar familia. They got me when I was young. For you see I knew Mikoto and her familia since I was a kid and we used to play, however one day I got framed for a crime and my own father sold me. As the time passed, I was sold out for different as a slave until Ishtar bought me. There…I worked as one of her prostitutes.'' Said Haruhime all sad.
The straw Hats were all shocked by that backstory. The young Renard really had it rough in her early years, much like most of the crew. Still, nobody there even went to the lengths of selling their bodies, not even Robin.
''Haruhime.'' Said Nami in tears.
''don't worry I never actually did to anyone.'' Said her calming the others.
''Thank the gods!" Scream Sanji in tears
''Who was the god that you worked before landing here?" Asked Zoro
''Ishtar she was one of the strongest and most beautiful goddesses in the whole city.'' Said Haruhime.
''Wow then she must be bad news.'' Said Usopp
''I guess we should look for her and talk things about what she did with Haruhime-chan.'' Said Sanji
''With your stupidity, you are the one that is going to end up dead.'' Said Zoro because he knows how woman's and Sanji end up in.
''And where is that god?" Asked Luffy wanting to know where that bad woman was.
''She is dead.'' Said Hestia all cold.
The Straw Hats were now in shock. Did Hestia said that a god was killed.
''Dead? I mean how?" Asked Franky.
''But how is this possible? I mean she is a god?" Asked Usopp
''Here is the thing when we went down from the heavens, we set a lot of rules about our powers and what we can do. Naturally everything one day die, but unlike people we don't get reincarnated. Once a god die, he goes back to the heavens and can never return to the human world.'' Said Hestia.
That got so many questions and wonders in the pirate's heads. So, in that case Brook has more immunity on his immortality than most Gods of this world.
''Really?'' Asked Brook
''Wow so you gods can actually die?'' Asked Luffy amazed at that.
''How does this thing work?'' Asked Yamato.
''Basically like this. We gods don't age or get sick like you people, but we are not truly invincible people. If I am stabbed by a enchanted blades, crushed by a giant bolder or tossed from a very tall building I am dead.'' Said Hestia
''So how did this Ishtar meet her end?" Asked Robin
''One night when we were rescuing Haruhime and we succeed a little later the Freya Familia appear in Ishtar district and destroyed everything.'' Said Lilith.
''Freya. Who is that?" Asked Franky.
''She is the number one goddess in Orario. She was the most powerful familia in the whole city and that's include the only level 7 adventure here. The ´´King´´ Ottar´´. One tip guys, be careful around her she was beauty so vast that can lure any man.'' Said Hestia warning the Straw Hats to stay away from Freya.
''A woman so beautiful that can lure any man.'' Said Nami.
''That some scary stuff right there man.'' Said Franky
''So, she is like the pirate Boa Hancock.'' Said Robin
''What are they talking about Hancock?" Thought Luffy confused. What did this Freya and Hancock had in common?
''So, what happened in that night?" Asked Zoro
''Freya out of nowhere appeared with her whole familia and wiped out the entire Ishtar group and the district that they ruled. Like it took Bell, Lilith, Welf and Mikoto a few days to get everything ready and do this rescue mission and it wasn't an easy one. Freya and her people wiped out almost all the members of Ishtar familia in almost an hour and then she killed Ishtar.'' Said Hestia.
The Straw Hats didn't like those news. It seen this Freya might be big trouble for them in the future.
''So, this Freya is bad news.'' Said Yamato not liking this.
''And what else should we know about her?" Asked Zoro
''Freya is very calculative and powerful. She can charm any man that she desires, most of her Familia members are man that she stole from other people, including a member from Ishtar I guess she liked him for some reason.'' Said Hestia even making Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Brook and Carrot a little bit scared.
''So, this woman is serious problem?'' Asked Yamato.
''Yes, even though you guys haven't made any kind contact with her before is better for us not to mess around with Freya sama. There is also another issue.'' Said Bell
''What is it?" Asked Nami
''Freya has the only Level 7 in town. I know I said that early but trust me Ottar is not someone you don't wanna mess with. Not even the strongest guys from other familias even dare to oppose him.'' Said Hestia.
''The level system is something that has been applied heavily on adventures for centuries. Is very rare to someone pass level 6, after all most people tend to train all their lives since birth to reach that point and after that is kind hard to pass.'' Said Welf explaining the whole situation.
''Really, I couldn't sense nothing of special on those guys we meet up early. If they are really some powerful group, then they are a very weak one.'' Said Zoro to much of the original familia members shock.
''Hey Zoro, don't say that. This can cause trouble for us.'' Said Lilth
''Whatever.'' Said Zoro
Hestia didn't like Zoro ways of acting on his on manner, but he was ridiculous strong so she wouldn't boss him around…yet. Right now, she need to talk more about Freya.
''Here is the thing. Freya doesn't hate me in fact I never go asking her favor or things, so she sees me as a funny goddess. So, she doesn't have nothing against me, but trust me guys don't go messing around with her.'' Said Hestia.
The Straw Hat got the idea and only wonder how long this would be until one of them meets up with this Freya woman. So to continue the talk of gods Robin wanted to ask about the familia that they meet early today.
''You also talked in fear about that other god loki, because we meet her Familia. What is the deal with that.
''She is an idiot god who loves big boobs.'' Said Hestia making the Straw Hats look confused.
''Oh, great a pervert.'' Said Nami not liking this.
''But despite her being a pervert she is also dangerous. Not much as Freya but almost.'' Said Hestia.
''What do you mean?" Asked Jinbei
''Loki is also knows as a trickster god. She likes to play games and way back in heaven she loved to make up death matches all the times, now here these games are forbidden so she stayed most in doing exploration. But she hit big when she gather a very powerful Pallum, a powerful elf and powerful dwarf to lead her familia. The Loki familia is almost as popular as the Freya, mostly because they get out more often and are more accepted to the public. Also, Loki tends to make points that are her territory and making sure that nobody screws her in deals or her familia will get them. That assholes is someone you don't wanna look over.'' Said Hestia all serious.
The Straw Hats were now feeling a little on the hedge. So those people that they meet early were powerful warriors, from a very trickery person. Well, if they meet up with this Loki they will show her what happen if she try to best them.
''So, she sees all of this as big game for her entertainment?" Asked Zoro not liking this clown.
''Exactly. As long as her children are not hurt, she is good.'' Said Hestia.
''don't worry Hest. If either this Frey or Loki come to mess with us, I will deal with them.'' Said Luffy
''What do you mean Luffy?'' Asked Hestia.
''I can punch them.'' Said Luffy all cheerful
The argument sent chills towards the familia members.
''No!'' Scream Hestia.
''What? What is wrong?'' Asked Luffy
''No mortal ever hurt a god before. They had poke them or given some slaps, but nobody actually fought a god and try to kill them.'' Said Hestia.
''Why?'' Asked Luffy
''Because most of the gods have some special hidden power that is unlike any magic that is present in the mortal world. If we use this power is gonna drain us out and we won't be able to move for a while.'' Said Hestia.
''Really?'' Asked Luffy
''Yes, so Luffy please I beg you. I know you intended good to protect us, but for me, Bell and all the others don't pick a fight with either of those monsters. Most of the Gods are now seeing me in serious manner and not as joke, so please don't act like a crazy person.'' Said Hestia with a desperate face.
Luffy saw Hestia desperation and knew that kind situation. He promised his Nakama that he wouldn't mess up the whole thing with Zeus, so he would let those assholes gods let it pass for now.
''I promise not to pick a fight with them…. if they deserve.'' Said Luffy a little serious in the last part.
Hestia didn't know if she should be worried or a little better. Luffy was still such an enigma to her just like most of the new recruits, that's the problem when you accept 12 people who's background you can't find.
''I appreciate but until I give the final word, please don't do anything stupid.'' Said Hestia.
''Sure.'' Said Luffy
While the conversation was about to be over Nami wanted to make sure if they got the whole things correct.
''So, Hephaestus, Miach and Takemikazuchi are the gods that we can trust?" Asked Nami
''What about Hermes-sama?" Asked Bell
''Not talking about that sleaze bastard.'' Said Hestia and the straw Hats immediately wanted to know who this god was.
''Who is this?'' Asked Chopper.
''Hermes was the messenger of the gods. He tends to be the one god that knows everything that is happening around town. If there is a rumor or any kind juicy news Hermes already knows and has a plan towards that thing.'' Said Hestia all annoyed.
''So, he is kind of someone that likes to know everything that is going on?" Asked Zoro
''Exactly, but unlike Loki he doesn't care for power and seeing people battle. He likes to relax and have some fun, that include pipping into both mortal and goddess's bath.'' Said Hestia remembering Hermes trying to peek in her bath with the other girls. That also caused Lilith and Mikoto to shiver.
''Pervert.'' Said Nami, Robin, Carrot and Yamato.
''I particularly don't find Hermes sama to be a bad person. Sure, he might be lazy and kind cryptic, but his intentions are good and he is always so lively when we meet him.'' Said Bell
''What you really see the persons for they really are Bell? That kind of thinking can get you killed.'' Said Zoro scaring off Bell.
''Hey, you didn't act that way towards some of our friends so maybe this Hermes might be a good guy.'' Said Luffy.
''Fine, but if he tries anything, he will get a sword cut.'' Said Zoro
''Moving on, so Hestia outside of that Hermes guy is there any god that we could actually get along?" Asked Usopp
''There Njord. He is a good that is the best fisherman in Orario.'' Said Hestia.
''Oh good, this guy we can actually be friends with.'' Said Sanji
''Maybe I can be of great use. As a fisherman I helped a lot of fisherman in my time before joining up with Luffy-kun.'' Said Jinbei
''Yes Jinbei-sama, with your abilities Njord sama would have some incredibly help in getting some fresh bait. I think we should mark a meeting between you and him.'' Said Bell excited.
''Sure bell.'' Said Jinbei with a laugh
''There is also Dementer. They have one of the biggest farms in the city and tend to be in charge of the level of food production.'' Said Lith telling a possibility.
''Maybe I can go there and help them. As a chef is important to know where our food is being made.'' Said Sanji.
''Good, Sanji-kun I think with you we can get her full support.'' Said Hestia.
''And then there is maybe Ganesha.'' Said Welf with a possibility
''Who is this guy?" Asked Usopp
''He is a very flamboyant god, but in terms of exploration and entertainment he is on the top. I guess in terms of ranking he is number three because he has a massive familia and their home is a giant palace…that is build in his image.'' Said Hestia with a sweat drop.
''A god that builds a mansion shaped like himself.'' Said Usopp with a sweat drop.
''What a weird place.'' Said Yamato.
''Sure, but where we come from is also pretty weird.'' Said Nami.
Hestia was still not sure about this. These people seen a little too carefree and do what they pleased and being in a familia was about also to follow a lot of rules and decisions.
''Why are you all here?" Asked Hestia wanting to know.
''We told you, we wanted to be here because we liked Bell and so we wanted to follow him.'' Said Luffy
''Yeah, we heard that, but this still feel a little off.'' Said Haruhime
''So how we will know that while you guys are here, we won't get any sort of trouble?" Asked Welf
Luffy felt tension being raised at the table and Bell was also starting to feel a little off. So he decided to be calm and act serious like he usually does.
''As long we are fine, and Bell is ok we promise to not cause you any problem Hest.'' Said Luffy all serious
Hestia was taken by Luffy words, it was the matter that he said. There was something about Luffy that she could point out, but it felt like that boy was something out of this world because of the power that she could feel coming from him. So, she decided to believe in his words.
''Really!? You guys will do that?" Asked Hestia in tears
''Can you all do that?'' Asked Bell
''Yes.'' Said the entire Straw-Hat crew.
''I don't know.'' Said Hestia a little unsure but the straw-Hat crew was about to clarify their intention.
''Hest don't worry. If we say we will do what we said.'' Said Lufy
''Yes, as long nobody messes or try to make fun of us.'' Said Zoro
''What these idiots are trying to say is to not be worried about anything.'' Said Nami.
''You have some of the bravest warriors right at your front.'' Said Usopp with a smirk.
''A great chef that will make sure nobody is hungry.''
''Someone who knows to cure all kind of diseases.
''Plus, I feel that there is so much history that wasn't shown yet. So I will be here to help out in this manner.
''Yes, it's that makes us Super! That we can deal with all the kinds of problems that can appear.
''Agreed. This intensity is so big that makes me a cold in my belly. Oh, wait I don't have a belly, yohoho.'' Laugh Brook.
''What we are trying to say is that we will be careful goes.'' Said Jinbei
''Yeah, we are going to have lots of fun in this familia.'' Said Carrot.
''Good call Carrot.'' Said Yamato.
Hestia was now feeling a heck of a lot better, the Familia also felt that way. The Straw Hats were given these people a felt of hope and also daring that they were missing in their daily adventures lifes.
''I truly wonder what kind adventures we are going to achieve with them here.'' Thought Bell
Now that their talk was finished Hestia was about to truly turn them into Orario adventures.
''Ok Bell-kun is time for the blessing. This is when I apply some sort of status sheet, this way I can keep track of your progress and power levels.'' Said Hestia.
''Oh really. So what do we have to do?''' Asked Usop
''Turn your back and lay down on the floor. You will feel a little touch in your back and also you will get a special kind of tatoo that will only appeared once the status are showed.'' Said Hestia.
Soon each of the straw Hats lay down and let Hestia do her blessing, officially making them members of her familia.
''don't you dare pick.'' Said Nami to every man in the room.
''Alright Nami.'' Said Bell as he and the other guys turn their heads.
After a few minutes of hard work since this was more people than her familia was in less than a week. She went from having 5 people to know 17 and she felt that with these people their ranking up system will be a little messed up.
''Done.'' Said Hestia finishing up her blessing on Yamato.
''So, know we can see if we all level up in power?" Asked Usopp looking at his back.
''Yes, this way when you guys go on dungeons, train or do quest we will see what kind powers you all increased but also gain some new abilities that you didn't know that you all have.'' Said Hestia.
''Cool so how is in our back?" Asked Luffy
Soon Hestia show a list of their new recruits' status so she could keep track of everything.

The Straw Hats saw that and figured it out since they were never exploring dungeons or did anything in this world that's why their status were so low, but once they were out doing their adventures those numbers would get so high.
''So, we are all at the bottom?" Asked Luffy kind sad.
''Yes, since none of you went on an exploration on the city it will take a while for the status catch on.'' Said Hestia.
''When can we go on an adventure?" Asked Chopper
Bell then out of nowhere was blushing as he shyly says.
''We can go tomorrow on the dungeon.'' Said Bell much to the Straw Hats surprise.
''All of us?" Asked Luffy excited.
''Sure.'' Said Bell
''I have no big thing to do tomorrow so I can lay a hand.'' Said Welf
''Lily will also be helpful.'' Said Lilith
''I´m also with no duties on the manor so I can assist you all.'' Said Mikoto.
''And I´m also with no obligation, so after I clean the dishes, I can go with you all.'' Said Haruhime.
So, if everyone was going to the dungeon than this mean…
''So, I will be here all alone!"' Scream Hestia.
''Sorry Goddess.'' Said Bell with a sad smile.
''Fine, but you better make it up for me bell-kun.'' Said Hestia.
''don't worry about that me goddess. I will be fi…'' Said Bell and then out of nowhere Luffy punched him
POW
''Ouch.'' Said Bell that was launched to the floor.
''Bell!'' Scream the entire Hestia familia
''What was that?'' Scream Hestia in rage
Luffy stood there with an emotionless face until he look at Bell straight in his shocked expression.
''You want to get stronger Bell?'' Asked Luffy
''Yes, more than anything.'' Said Bell
Luffy then smiles at that. This would be fun.
''Let me help you.'' Said Luffy
''Really?'' Asked Bell in shock alongside most of the Familia.
''You saw what he can do that day kid, having Luffy as a teacher will give you in incredible advantage.'' Said Zoro
''So, what do you say Bell?" Asked Luffy
Bell was amazed by that. Luffy was really a powerful and interesting guy and if he could destroy monsters with his fists then he would be a perfect teacher.
''Yes, I can wait to train with you Luffy-kun.'' Said Bell
''Oh yeah. By the way I will only teach you how to punch because I don't know a thing about swords.'' Said Luffy much to Bell confusion.
''There where I came in.'' Said Zoro with a smirk
''Sure Zoro-san, I will be honored to train with a master swordman like you.'' Said Bell
''And I be ready because I won't be easy on you kid. When we train and I´m going to put you in hell.'' Said Zoro with an evil smirk
Bell only gulped at that as he gets pales.
''Oh…'' Said Bell now sweating in fear.
''Now Bell will become a real monster by the end of his training.'' Said Luffy excited
''I don't approved this. Luffy, Zoro I forbid you two to train Bell-kun.'' Said Hestia don't liking this.
''If you let them train him goddess-san, Bell-kun will get stronger and more muscular.'' Said Robin
Hestia then imagined a more muscular and more taller Bell after the ending of his hellish training with Luff and Zoro. All she could think was…wow.
''Ok, I will let that. But don't kill him.'' Said Hestia.
''Fine.'' Said Zoro
''She is a bit pervert too I can see.'' Thought Nami with a laugh
''Yosh its settle. Bell tomorrow I will show you how to punch really hard at things.'' Said Luffy
''Yeah, this is about to get interesting.'' Said Usopp liking this.
''Bell is going to get a lot stronger now.'' Said Chopper
''don't worry you guys if Luffy is taking care of your captain then nothing bad will happen.'' Said Franky.
''With us here with we make sure that the Hestia familia success.'' Said Yamato
''So, lets all be good friends.'' Said Carrot.
''Agreed.'' Said Lith liking to bond with Carrot.
Hestia felt a huge amount of happiness in her heart. So that's why Gods like to make huge familias, because they were like huge happy familys.
''Sanji-kun can you reheat our food. I guess we can all eat now.'' Said Hestia.
''Right away goddess-chan.'' Said Sanji
Sanji then prepared the meal and the Hestia familia had a delicious banquet for dinner.
The Familia later hit the night because tomorrow the old and new members will finally go in a full team expedition to show around the so famous dungeons of Orario.
In others sections of Orario in various Gods homes
Freya, Loki and Hermes all look with curiosity at the Straw Hats pictures. Flyers of the group were spread around the city and nobody ever saw or heard of these people. Its like they just appeared of nowhere.
The three gods were all in their respective home thinking about the group in different lights. Freyas was intrigued to see what kind people Bell had got, Loki wanted to see what kind power those freaks had and Hermes wanted to see what kind people they were and what else they had to offer. Nevertheless, all gods thought the same thing.
''Who are you peopke?'' Thought the three.
Ok we will star a little dungeon arc next chapter. Sorry if this chapter was likely mostly plot dumb and backstory drop.
Also, I know I only focused more on Bell, Hestia, Mikoto and Haruhime backstory. I intended to make an extra chapter exploring the backstory of Welf and Lilith but also the Straw Hats giving fake backstory to not seen suspect around Hestia.
Also here is something. I don't know if I want to include the xenos in this fic because I wanted to do more original stuff and explorations around this story. I was planning doing a mini fic where the plot of season 3 happens. I still don't know if I should do that or not. I am still thinking and what you all think too. I know that put that in another chapter about doing this mini fic, but I receive constant messages of people who want me to make the Xenos story, but I feel that I want this separate because If I want to taggle in this story this will take a while, like at least 10 chapters because I want the Straw Hats to be familiar with this world and also level up.
Soon the craziness will begin. See you all soon.
