Simulation: Start with one person

"The dress is a bit trendy!"

Looking at the old woman's clothes, Fang Rui said this, and at the same time added in his heart: We are each other.

No, you are a little more extreme than me!

I just came in to take a look, but you were the dove occupying the magpie's nest.

"What? You asked me the secret to eternal youth?"

I don't know if she didn't hear what Fang Rui said clearly, or if she did it deliberately, the old woman had a proud smile on her lips, slowly raised her right arm, tilted her body a little to the right, and pressed the wine bottle with her thumb. The other four fingers are raised up and placed next to the ears, as if listening to something.

It was such a familiar scene... Fang Rui raised a smile on his lips and replied in a normal voice: "Yes, I'm just asking you for the secret to staying young."

At the same time, Fang Rui was flipping through his memories, looking for information about the person in front of him.

Dr. Kuleha, known as the "Witch" in the Drum Kingdom, has very superb medical skills.

Dr. Kuleha chuckled a few times, and some weird laughter echoed in the castle. She seemed to be satisfied with Fang Rui's answer: "Since you want to know so much, I will tell you!"

As she said that, she took a sip of wine and waved to Fang Rui: "Come up!"

Climbing the stairs to the second floor, Fang Rui followed Dr. Kuleha all the way to a room filled with bookshelves and some medical equipment. An ordinary bed was placed diagonally opposite the door, with the same style as It looks like a hospital bed, with a workbench next to the bookshelf...

In front of the workbench, Chopper, who was both familiar and unfamiliar to Fang Rui, was standing on a stool, concentrating on studying the preparation of pills...

'Are you developing a blue wave ball? '

'Speaking of which, the blue wave ball is indeed a very powerful drug~ It can transform the wavelength of the animal-type devil fruit, allowing the ability user who originally only had two transformation stages to gain an additional transformation stage...'

Thinking like this, Fang Rui's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Chopper. This little reindeer was a human... no, a deer.

"Caution your eyes, don't scare Chopper."

A book suddenly appeared in his field of vision and quickly approached his handsome face...

"Pah~" After catching the book, Fang Rui looked towards the direction where the book flew from. Dr. Kuleha was holding a wine bottle and said softly: "The book I gave you is my secret to staying young. I will inherit 50 yuan." Bailey.”

"Are you actually going to charge money?!" Fang Rui said in surprise.

"There is no free lunch in the world." Dr. Kuleha explained: "And if you scared my Chopper, you will naturally have to pay some mental damages."

"Well, you're right." Fang Rui nodded in agreement and said, "Dr. Chopper has very good medical skills. It's my fault for scaring him. I should give him some nutrition money."

Hearing this, Dr. Kuleha narrowed his eyes slightly. From Fang Rui's words, he heard some questions. The other party seemed to... know Chopper very well.

"Asshole~ Even if you praise me, I won't be happy." Chopper, who was hiding behind Dr. Kuleha, trembled happily and floated out slowly.

"Doctor Chopper, do you need financial support? Researching medical skills should be very expensive!"

As he said that, Fang Rui turned his attention to Dr. Kuleha. Dr. Kuleha's medical skills should be stronger than Chopper. Such a powerful doctor must not be let go...

"Does Dr. Kuleha need funding?"

Before Fang Rui could finish speaking, Dr. Kuleha raised his right hand, the wine in the bottle sloshed and made a "swishing" sound, and said expressionlessly:

"Tell me your purpose..."

Chapter 220 Recruiting Talent

"What is the purpose..."

Hearing this, Fang Rui thought for a while, what is the goal of coming to the sailing world?

Travel check-in?Earn Simoleons?Collecting specialties?

Thinking this, Fang Rui nodded slightly, knowledge was also one of his specialties.

Let me tell you something, there are quite a lot of wonderful items in the nautical world, and there is also a lot of higher-level knowledge...

"To put it simply, it's about collecting treasures. In my opinion, knowledge is one of the treasures."

"You are all people who have the most cutting-edge knowledge in the world... He Lu, in my opinion, there is no doubt that investing in you is profitable."

"I see..." Dr. Kuleha nodded slightly to express his understanding. Knowledge is indeed wealth.

She thought for a moment, and instead of rejecting Fang Rui's proposal, she asked, "How much funding can you provide?"

"How about 100 million Baileys a month?"

"Somewhat less."

Dr. Kuleha was not satisfied with Fang Rui's price. Some medical equipment was quite expensive. At 100 million per month, she would have to save up to buy it...

"So... what about 1000 million Baileys?" Fang Rui directly doubled up.

Hearing this, Chopper immediately opened his mouth in surprise. Although he had been studying medicine with Dr. Kureha and rarely went to human towns alone, he still had a certain degree of understanding of the value of currency.

Therefore, when he heard the monthly salary given by Fang Rui, he was immediately shocked~

He is so rich~

Dr. Kuleha raised his eyebrows slightly and asked another unrelated matter: "What is the overall strength of your organization?"

"It's very strong. Not only can I defeat the Yonko-level pirates, but I can defeat the Shichibukai."

Fang Rui said confidently.

As someone who controls Baroque Works and can indirectly command the Beast Pirates and Wano Country, defeating the Shichibukai can be said to be relatively easy.

The Shichibukai is one of the three major forces alongside the "Four Emperors" and the "Navy". It is famous on the sea and is a symbol of strength.

Therefore, Dr. Kuleha did not completely believe what Fang Rui said and felt that he might have exaggerated.

Without saying anything about his guess, he thought for a moment and asked, "Can the pirate with a bounty of 5000 million beli be solved?"

"Of course……"

Hearing Dr. Kuleha's questions, Fang Rui could vaguely guess what she was thinking. Sometimes others wouldn't believe the truth because the truth was too exaggerated...

"If you don't believe it, I'll send someone right now to catch a pirate with a bounty of 5000 million beli."

"No need." Dr. Kuleha waved her hand, indicating that it was not necessary.

"I accept your proposal. In addition to the 1000 million per month, you also need to help me solve a problem."

"Okay, you say..."

Fang Rui had no objection to this.

It’s a deal!Of course, both parties must be satisfied, and a win-win situation is the best option.

"Valpo, the former king of the Drum Kingdom, may return to Drum Island one day in the future, but we don't expect his return, so..."

"I understand!" Although Dr. Kuleha did not say the entire sentence, he already understood what the other party meant. "Protecting technical personnel is also the basis of cooperation."

Dr. Kuleha nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the rows of bookshelves on the left and said, "You can make a copy of those books as a sign of my sincerity."

"Then let me show some sincerity!"

Fang Rui took out the phone bug and said, "Please remember my phone number and call me if I have anything to do." Then he dialed the number in front of everyone, and the call was connected with a few "Puff~Puff~" .

"Mr. Fang Rui, is something wrong?"

The phone bug's expression changed a bit, imitating the person on the other end of the phone.

"Robin, send a team to the Drum Kingdom. There are two people who need protection."

Fang Rui said straight to the point: "You need to be stronger."

"Okay." Robin nodded slightly and began to think about candidates...

Although there are quite a few employees at Baroque Works, most of them are of average strength. The only employees who can be called "somewhat strong" are code members, and they are the ones at the top of the code sequence.

After finishing the matter, Fang Rui hung up the phone, looked at each person and said: "The bodyguards will arrive in about three days. As for the funds... it will take about a week."

Dr. Kuleha nodded slightly to express satisfaction. The deal was settled. Fang Rui came to the bookshelf, took down a book and started reading.

No, it's not so much reading as flipping through a book quickly.

Regarding Fang Rui's actions, Dr. Kuleha was very calm and did not say anything. The world is such a big place, and it is not surprising for some people with strong memories. Besides, there are so many weird Devil Fruits, and there are one or two that can help people. It's normal to remember certain information quickly.

and……

The castle is located at the top of the mountain. There are only two ways to reach here, one is by cable car, which no longer exists, and the other is by climbing along the steep rock wall...

But the Fang Rui she saw was very clean from top to bottom, with no trace of climbing the cliff at all.

From here, she could tell that Fang Rui was not simple.

………………

After half a day.

Dr. Kuleha's collection of books has been read by Fang Rui, and the bodyguards selected by Robin have also arrived in the Drum Kingdom.

The phone bug's face changed, his lips were painted with bright red lipstick, but his voice was very rough, giving people a contrasting feeling.

"The slave family has arrived~ Where are you?"

From the way he spoke and the facial expression imitated by the phone bug, Fang Rui had already guessed who was on the other side.

'ah!It’s weird! '

I sighed in my heart for a while. There were so many people in the Baroque Work Club, but the one who came was the weird one. I hope he wouldn't make Dr. Kuleha angry, otherwise...

The scene of Dr. Kureha chasing Mr. 2 seemed to have appeared before her eyes while throwing weapons such as swords, guns, swords, and axes.

'Get vaccinated in advance. '

With this in mind, Fang Rui said: "Let me remind you, the bodyguard assigned to you is quite strong, but there are some... small problems with his character. I hope you don't mind."

Dr. Kuleha, Chopper: "…………"

No, when you said that, we were very relieved, but now we suddenly feel a little nervous.

After saying that, Fang Rui said "I'll pick him up" and teleported away.

'Spatial ability? '

Dr. Kuleha said silently in her heart.

Ten seconds later, Fang Rui came back carrying a strange-looking man and said, "He is your bodyguard."

After saying that, Fang Rui teleported away and reached the Kingdom of Alabasta.

In the room of the castle, Mr. 2 Von Clay walked around in circles and said to one person and one deer: "Hello, you two~ Please don't worry, I will definitely protect you."
