Then he smiled before adding:
"He was also stingy and would never return something he stole even if it meant his death, he offended a lot of people because of that and many wanted him died. it wasn't till around twenty years ago or so that he stopped appearing and no one knew what happened to him, but seeing the young man having those memories, it seems that he died, and I only got to know about him because I have a sensing ability and some of my trainers used to give examples about him, saying that there are some types of abilities that my sensing ability wouldn't work on."
"For me I heard about him because my old boss, which was a thief, used to respect and envy the Stingy Old Man a lot, he even made me wander about how my life might be if I had that ability." Robin said.
"An interesting character, but that young man don't seem to have the same behavior and personally as what you mentioned." Dan said.
"Yeah but who would blame him, it all depends on the environment that he is in, in our world he was a man with a strong ability and everyone who had something valuable feared him, while here, he is but a man with nothing that would make him special and different, so of course he would be different, and even being timid isn't a surprise." Robin said while smiling.
"Yeah it is just as you said." Dan nodded before turning his head and asking:
"I will give the bow to the man who had the healing ability after Barry awake his ability, what do you think, I mean I know that we decided to give it to old Frank but in the coming dangerous world we would need someone with this type of ability don't you think?"
The others all nodded their heads, and then Katherine said:
"I also think that we should give the soul weapon to that man, after all even Randy had to wait for the sake of the team, so old Frank waiting for a little bit more won't be a problem."
And just like that the next owner of the soul weapon was decided after everyone accepted that.
"What about the other two, old Frank will have the soul weapon after the one with the healing ability, but what about after that, I mean all of the three men have abilities that would be of help to us and in different fields, first is Allan his ability will give us three strong people with three different abilities, and those abilities would be of great use to us if we get ourselves in a problem, then comes the man with the diamond body he can be a strong vanguard with his strong offence and defence, and finally the young man who we know as the Stingy Old Man, even though he's not that old at all, he can be a great scout if his ability gets strong enough, and he can even be a spy an assassin, any one of them would make our team a lot stronger then it is now, and they all would have the chance to awake, but at which sequence?" Nero asked after they dealt with the problem concerning the next owner of the soul weapon.

"I think that we should give it to Allan, first of all he seems as a man who we can trust and his ability would help us, having three men stronger then normal is better then having only one." Randy was the first to talk, he and Allan had a good relationship and he also understood him better then everyone there.
"Well the problem of trust is something that we should take into consideration, but the abilities of the other two are also good, like the ability of that blood power user, he can help us a lot in the coming world. just him being a strong tank in that dangerous envairmont can help us a lot, so I think he should have it." Leonard said.
After that each of them gave an opinion till finally only Dan didn't say anything and all of them looked at him awaiting what he was going to say:
"I think that what Randy said is true, trust is something that we should take into consideration, so I think that we should choose Allan and his ability is a good one too, I mean with it, we can give him a small squad to lead, he is perfect for that, and what Katherine said about how it right seem to people as if we are based and how we might seem as if we are only making those close to us stronger and leaving the others, even though it is somehow possible I don't think that they would think like that, after all we will give the soul weapon to the man with the healing ability and also it's not like we are hugging everything to ourselves, we did give them a lot of dragons blood and eventually everyone will have the chance to awake an ability, they only have to wait a little bit.
"While if we look at it from the point of utility, than the one with the diamond body comes first after him comes Allan and finally the young man, of course this is only our choice right now, who knows we might meet a situation where we need someone with a specific type of ability and we will change our minds, after all we did that before."
In a few sentences Dan explained what he thought and what the best course of action was from his point of view
.
"Ok the captain has talked so it's decided, lets close this subject." Randy said jokingly.
The other also didn't have an objection so they just nodded their heads and let the matter pass.
"But we really need to take care of each other in the coming Area, we don't know what might be waiting for us there so we most be cautious and be alert at all what's around us as there are a lot of insects with great camouflage abilities there, just like some normal insects and not to mention that even some plants and trees are dangerous on their own ways so we have to be extra careful." Dan said after he saw that they dealt with one of the thing that needed to be finished.
"So in the new Area just like in the one before we will depend on you Nero and your ability, so just get ready." Dan smiled at Nero as he said that.

Nero just nodded he knew his ability and understood what they might find in the new Area so he was ready for whatever might happen.
As they were talking and discussing what they might meet in the new Area suddenly they heard a shout coming from the top of the ship:
"LAND, I CAN SEE LAND!"
What the owner of the voice said made everyone there show an astonished expression at first, before it changed to a pleasant one as they all got up and ran to the top of the ship, Robin directly teleported there and as they made it there they found that he was already looking at the far horizon.
They weren't the only ones there as almost everyone on Barbarossa was already there looking straight ahead, they couldn't believe that finally after such a long time in ocean, they would finally set on land, and not to mention that it was a new land with no dragons.
They were all excited and they wanted to know how it looked like even though they understood that it was probably still far away from them.
They were all trying to see the new land and how it looked like, unfortunately no one was able to see anything not even Dan and the others, and they all turned their heads toward a young man who had Randy's binoculars in his hand.
Seeing them look at him the young man said:
"I saw it it's just that it's still far away and it would need this binoculars to see it."
Dan nodded his head at him before saying while extending his hand:
"Ok can you give me the binoculars then?" he wanted to see what was ahead of them.
The young man, who was a part of the crewmen of the one eyed dragon gang, nodded his head and handed the binoculars to Dan.
Dan took it and then looked at the west, the direction of the new Area, the others all started looking at him waiting from him to say something they wanted to know if they really made it, if they really were far away from that hell.
What Dan saw was the shore, and from what he was able to see, it wasn't just an island but the main land as he didn't see an end to it no matter how far he tried to look.
He was quite surprised because finding the main land wasn't something he thought they would find, because with all the islands before they made it there he thought that they would first land on Japan or some of its islands, but thinking about the Gray Fog and how the sun just rose he understood why that didn't happen somehow.
What caught his attention next, was that just after the shore there was a small beach and right after that there appeared a great forest with gigantic trees that were so wide and high that it was unbelievable, even though they appeared as if they were just tiny trees because of the distance, by comparing them to some of the things around them he understood how gigantic they really were.
The trees were coconut trees, just way bigger, yet those were just the ones at the shore. he was able to see that after them was the forest, and the forest had many different kinds of trees.
Seeing that. he was one hundred percent sure that he didn't make any mistakes and that they were really in the insects world, he was happy and excited as he knew that their long and tiring journey was finally over, he looked at the shore for a little bit more before finally putting the binoculars down turning his head to the people who were looking at him questioningly before saying with a smile:
"It is it, we really did make it." When he said that, the people started cheering and hugging each other happily, some were even crying.
Dan then passed the binoculars to Randy while still smiling, he wanted everyone to see it.
Randy took the binoculars and looked at the shore which had an intimidating forest behind it before passing it to Robin who was next to him, and just like that everyone in the group saw the land which they were going to land on.
They were excited and they all wanted to move there as fast as possible so they could finally relaxe a little bit from the pain of travelling in the ocean.
As the people were excited Dan called the other six, along with Barry old Frank and Mad Dog, before turning around and going to his room with the them following behind him.
After they all entered he closed the door before saying:
"Everyone we've made it, but what should we do right now, should we land at this moment or what?" Dan asked, he actually had an idea about what they should do but he just wanted to know what the others thought.
"Let's land, because of the new timing, we still have a little bit more then a day and a half of sunlight, like this we won't need to worry about the possibility of being attacked without finding out, and we would have enough time to understand the area where we are landing before the sun finally sets and we get stuck in the dark for two days and a half without knowing anything about where we are and if there's any danger around us." Before the others even had the time to say anything Mad dog suggested.
He wanted to show them that he had the ability to be of importance to the team and that he can be of help so he had to show his ability in every opportunity.
Dan nodded his head after hearing what Mad Dog said, he also had the same idea, they had to act fast enough while it was still sunny as they really didn't understand anything about what they were going to face and how the piece of land that they were in was.
"What Mad Dog said is true and we should hurry up and execute it, we still have around an hour or so before we make it to the shore, so in this short period of time we should start preparing for what we might face there, like we should get everyone a weapon, choose a group of people to go, and also choose who should stay to protect the ship and other things like that." Nero nodded as he added a few things they had to keep in mind.
