One day after a harsh day of training, when Ruth and Deller, were extremely exhausted, A newscoo bird flew over them. Seeing this Deller, took a hundred beli note and called to the bird.
The news bird dropped down, and traded a newspaper for the 100 beli note.
"Hey hey what does it say?" The impatient Ruth was eagerly asking.
As Deller opened the newspaper his eyes narrowed to pin needles, Arms trembling.
The newspaper told about Golden lion's escape from Impel Down and listed his new bounty of 4.0924 billion beli. This in turn heightened the pressure on Dellers. "I completely forgot about Shiki's escape from Impel Down. Let's hope that Shiki's escape from Impel Down will not encourage pirates from coming to this remote island. Of course Deller didn't have much hope in this island's remoteness.
After finding out about this, both Deller and Ruth were shocked. Ruth was merely shocked because a legendary pirate had escaped Impel Down. While Deller was shocked that he had forgotten about such an event.
Of Course for Ruth to know about things such as legendary pirates was solely to Dellers credit. While Deller didn't have a complete picture about the layout of the world he still knew a lot especially important characters and events, even some obscure details of the story.
"Hey Deller, didn't you say that no-one has ever escaped from Impel Down?" Ruth asked, still in shock.
"Yes"
"Then isn't the Golden lion more formidable than the pirate king?" Ruth asked, assured of his guess.
"Ruth it isn't something silly as the Golden lion being more formidable than the pirate king, it's that the Golden lion has a devil fruit. I explained about devil fruit to you. You remember right?"
"y-yes i remember!" Ruth stammered.
"Like I explained to you a couple months back, they are magical fruits that grant a specific type of ability to the one that eats it. Those abilities can range from being able to transform into an animal or being able to control fire for example, but there is a cost to this power, once you eat it you will be cursed by the sea and lose the ability to swim!" Deller gave Ruth an explanation for the devil fruits because he was sure he had forgotten about it.
"Like I have said before, devil fruit abilities vary from some being extremely powerful to some mediocre ones. Golden lion Shiki had eaten the Paramecia type float-float fruit which allows him to fly." Deller explained Shikis devil fruit.
"So that's how he escaped!" Ruth explained.
"Probably…" Deller didn't want to explain more about devil fruit mechanics to someone who will probably forget about it.
"Hey Ruth. What do you want to do when you grow up?" Deller probed.
"I don't know, do we have to do something in the future?" Ruth asked innocently.
Deller was exasperated. "I don't know how people develop their intelligence around here. Sometimes they can be so smart and sometimes they act like spoiled brats."
After recovering Deller stated his real question. "Do you want to come with me to the sea?"
Ruth being naive again asked. "Is there something important in the sea?"
Deller getting a stroke started coughing. After a while he started painting a beautiful picture for Ruth. "What I want to ask you if you want to come witness the world with me. I heard the world has many beautiful places. Sky islands, underwater islands all and everything you desire can be found at the sea!. So I want to ask you, will you want to come with me to the sea?"
Ruth enamored with the future Deller had painted was drooling from his mouth. It took a while for Ruth to come to his senses and reply. "Everything I desire. Can it be found at the sea? If that's so then I'm going to find an island of candy."
Deller was dumbfounded by Ruth's reason to go to the sea. But for Deller this was a good thing. After all, he officially has a minion now.

"What in the hell?" as Deller was panicking inside. Ruth asked a question. "But how are we going to the sea? We're only 4 Years old afterall."
While Dellers was completely overwhelmed, he unintentionally gazed at Ruth for a while. A screen appeared in front of him.

Still in a daze Ruth started to question him. "Are you okay you have been in a daze for a whole minute?"
This finally made Deller wake up.
"I'm fine, I was just lost in my thoughts. And we won't leave this island for a long time, at least I won't. After all, we can still grow safely for now." Deller quickly replied.
"What do you mean we can still grow safely for now?" Ruth asked.
Deller started to curse in his mind "How the hell does he pick up on that detail now? He's a blockhead normally!" Deller still answered at the same time. "It's because the current times are not safe. Pirates are roaming the seas and more and more people are becoming pirates."
"I see, I understand now!" Ruth beamed.
A strange thought came to Dellers mind. "Did he just listen to my lecture?"
Another thought came to Dellers mind. One that he was about to test. "Hey Ruth, what kind of role do you want to play when we go out to the sea?"
Ruth became confused as he asked. "What roles do we become in doing some kind of role playing at the sea?"
Deller became a bit irritated by that. But he still started to explain the roles that the crews have on ships. "First is probably the most important member on the crew. That is a navigator, they usually determine the most optimal path to take when sailing, they also ensure that the crew won't get lost.
Then there is the cook, he keeps the crew's bellies full when on the ship, it's also cooks responsibility to make sure there is enough food when sailing." Deller took the initiative to explain the role of a cook in more detail, since he was 70% sure Ruth was going to choose the role of a cook. "Then there is the shipwright, he makes sure that the ship is kept in good condition. Those are the necessary roles that a ship must fulfill. Then there are the optional ones like dancers, musicians and the like."
After Deller finished explaining the necessary roles that ship must have, Ruth's eyes had widened and his mouth was already drooling. As expected Ruth answered almost immediately. "I will become a cook!"
After Ruth declared this, Deller immediately took a chance to educate Ruth.
"In that case tomorrow at noon you will follow me to uncle Karrit's and to aunt Miila's."
Ruth immediately protested. "But why. I don't want to go to them because they are boring."
Deller immediately replied without any remorse. "Are you trying to poison us or starve us when we go to the sea?. How can you make accurate estimates and cook for us if you haven't learned either?"
Deller was waiting for Ruth to reply, if he still declined that would have implied that Deller wasn't right in his theory but if Ruth agreed to it, it would indicate that Dellers theory was correct.
In the end of a struggle Ruth agreed to it.
This made Deller Delighted, after all it indicated that his hunch on (Followers loyalties Blue) to have been true. It meant that he could tell his followers to do something and if it isn't something unreasonable they will follow that command/request.
After Deller had convinced Ruth to go learn from uncle Karrit's and aunt Miila's. They separated, after all it was already late.
When alone at his room Deller wanted to test something so hee took a metallic pan and looked at it after a couple seconds a screen appeared.
