Simulation: Start with one person

Of course, he did not quit his job at Baroque Works. He received the salary of Baroque Works and would also send a copy of his research results to Baroque Works.

As for Usopp, he felt that the plot was somewhat familiar and was looking for the source of the familiarity.

The plot summary of Alabasta: The eldest daughter of a wealthy family discovered that a bad guy was peeking at her property. She tried hard to find out the bad guy's identity and called a group of people to drive the bad guy away.

Plot summary of Usopp in the East China Sea: The lying boy discovered that a bad guy was peeking at his childhood sweetheart's property. He worked hard to find out the bad guy's identity and found a group of people to drive the bad guy away.

The plots are slightly different, but the backbone is the same.

"Oh~ So Baroque Works is good!"

The stubborn Luffy understood it from the surface, showed a stunned expression, and slapped his hands.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." Pushing Luffy aside, Nami looked at Vivi and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I plan to go back to the palace and meet the boss of Baroque Works as a princess."

Weiwei's expression was firm, and she decided to expose the matter and talk to Crocodile.

As for what will happen if the secret is revealed, Weiwei has already thought of many possibilities...

"Weiwei, don't go alone." Nami looked worried.

"I..." Before Weiwei could finish speaking, Ikarem suddenly said, "Wei... well, Princess Weiwei, we can take the navy with us. There happened to be a navy in Rapeseed Flowers a few days ago. Port landing..."

"I heard that the navy leader is a colonel and a natural ability user."

"Colonel?", "Natural ability user?"

Except for Chopper, Luffy and others all tilted their heads, thinking of the same person, Smoke Fruit user Smoker.

Luffy and others who had just gone to sea did not see many espers. When talking about natural espers and naval captains, the group naturally thought of Smoker.

The escape battle in Rogge Town is still fresh in their memory, after all, they almost didn't escape.

"Okay!" Weiwei thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

She can really feel a little more at ease when she has a naval captain following her, especially since the other person is a person with natural fruit abilities, like Crocodile.

"In this case, the follow-up plan has been determined..."

Nami clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention and explained: "Weiwei went to see Crocodile through formal channels, and we secretly lurked near Yuyan to collect information to see if we could find out the secrets Crocodile hidden. "

"Okay!" The rest of the Straw Hat Pirates agreed.

Only Chopper's expression is still weird. Why do I feel so desperate when he goes to his boss's company to investigate evidence of his crime?

Can……

Chopper glanced at Luffy and the others, looking at everyone's high spirits and not looking like they could be persuaded.

With this in mind, Chopper touched the medical bag behind his back: Let's talk to Mr. 1 first!

Considering the problem of communication, Chopper always carries a phone bug with him. The liaison officers with him are Mr. 1 and Miss. Two Fingers.

However... the original liaison officer was Mr. 2, but after he watched Chopper being taken away by the Straw Hats, he was dismissed from that position.

After making the decision, Luffy and others divided into two teams and acted according to the plan...

About half a day later...

In a certain room on the second floor of Yuyan.

Robin reported the information submitted by Mr. 1. Fang Rui did not take his eyes off the page and listened quietly to Robin's story.

After she finished speaking, Fang Rui said slowly: "Don't worry about it."

He is very interested in the development of the subsequent plot. How can he stop the Straw Hats from exploring the rain feast~

"Where is Crocodile?"

Later, Fang Rui asked where the other leading actor was. Without one leading actor, the scene would not be performed...

"Two days ago, Mr. Crocodile was taken away by Mr. Kaido."

Robin's expression was a little strange: "Mr. Kaido said that Crocodile needs to be trained, saying that he is too weak."

"emmm..."

Fang Rui fell silent immediately. Coming from Teacher Kai's personal teachings, Crocodile wouldn't be beaten into a cripple, would he?

It should...probably...maybe...not so!

Crocodile was a pirate who could compete with Whitebeard. Even though his strength was much weaker than before, he still wouldn't be able to withstand Kaido's blow...

And... Kaido should be merciful... right?

Thinking like this, Fang Rui, who had little confidence, took out his phone and contacted Kaido.

"Tons, tons, tons, tons, tons... what's going on?"

The phone bug's face changed accordingly, imitating Kaido's current expression, acting out what drinking means, and his rough voice became a little muffled under the interference of the drink.

"Is Crocodile still alive?" Fang Rui said straight to the point.

"Alive." Kaido replied simply and concisely.

"Has your strength improved?"

"It's a little bit! To be precise, it's restoring its original strength..."

Kaido's tone was a little disgusting: "His original strength, let alone the first echelon above the sea, was stable in the third echelon, but now his strength may not even be in the third echelon..."

Even if some Devil Fruit users have not mastered Haki, they are still very powerful if the Devil Fruit is well developed, such as the Piao Piao Fruit...

For example, even if the Golden Lion doesn't use Haki, he just floats in the air, keeps hitting the island, creating tsunamis... The power of a natural disaster can still allow him to sit firmly in the second echelon, or even hit the first echelon.

"Now it's time to regain the original strength bit by bit. If you want to improve, you need to at least return to the peak..."

"Is that so..."

Fang Rui nodded slightly to show his understanding and said, "Are you interested in coming back to watch a show?"

"The scene about Crocodile vs. the rookie pirate..."

"Of course..." Kaido grinned and smiled.

Since Fang Rui mentioned this matter personally, it must be something very interesting.

"Okay, then I'll give Crocodile a day off today and bring him back quickly."

With that said, Fang Rui hung up the phone and raised his head to see Robin's strange gaze.

"What's wrong?" Fang Rui asked.

"Do you think Mr. Crocodile will be defeated by a rookie pirate who just went to sea?" Robin asked.

"It's possible."

Fang Rui said: "If Crocodile underestimates his opponent, there is a certain possibility that he will be defeated by Monkey D. Luffy."

Hearing Straw Hat Luffy's full name and Fang Rui's deliberately emphatic tone, Robin suddenly realized: "Is he related to the naval hero Monkey D. Garp?"

"He's Cap's grandson."

A little surprise appeared on Robin's face: "It's really surprising that the grandson of a naval hero became a pirate."

"Your expression doesn't sound like what you said."

"Really..." Robin touched his smooth and delicate cheek, "I'm very surprised."

"About this matter... don't tell Crocodile, just tell him that a new pirate destroyed a bounty hunter stronghold and challenged him."

Hearing Fang Rui's words, Robin didn't object at all and showed a smile: "Okay, I will follow your instructions."

“Remember to arrange for someone to record and live broadcast the entire process.”

"...This matter is not easy to handle. Mr. Crocodile is very powerful. If someone is watching him secretly, he will definitely be discovered, and the aboveboard video will be rejected..."

"Let Mr. 4 and his partner take charge of this matter."

"Okay." Robin nodded slightly to express his understanding.

After saying that, Robin turned and left the room to arrange the matter.

Because Kaido was very idle, he summoned all the capable employees of Baroque Works for special training. Together with Crocodile...

Therefore, Mr.4 and his partner can quickly get into position.

"...What should I do before the drama is staged? I have read all the theoretical knowledge, why not try to create some devil fruits?"

"Speaking of which, Fire Fist Ace should also be in Alabasta. Let's go meet him!"

"An extra sample will also be helpful for my research."

With that said, Fang Rui disappeared into the room.

At this time, Fire Fist Ace was eating in the restaurant, Smoker was called to the palace, and Luffy was heading to the Rain Land.

Without external interference, this meal... Fire Fist Ace should last a long time...

Chapter 242

In the port city called "Rape Flower", there is an ordinary restaurant, which is famous for its cheap price, sufficient portion and decent taste.

Therefore, the restaurant's business is very good and it is very busy every day. Correspondingly, the restaurant is very lively most of the time.

But today is different. Near noon, it should be one of the busiest times in the restaurant, but at this time the store is quite quiet.

A group of diners stared dumbly at the young man who suddenly fell down and buried his face in the seafood fried rice. Their eyes jumped back and forth between the young man, the seafood fried rice and their own food. A trace of panic gradually appeared in their eyes, and panic brewed rapidly. …

At this moment, Fang Rui walked into the restaurant, his eyes wandering for a while before he locked onto someone, a young man with the Whitebeard Pirates logo painted on his back.

He has black hair, a tattoo with the word "ASCE" on his left arm, where the S is crossed out, an orange cowboy hat placed on the dining table, black shorts, and a dagger on his waist.

Consistent with the image in his memory, he should be Portcas D. Ace.

As the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, is it okay to not master the two colors of armament and knowledge?

I will arrange for top teachers above the sea to teach you domineering as a reward for your cooperation in the experiment.

Saying this, Fang Rui raised his hand and turned it over. A gold ingot appeared in his hand, and then placed it on the dining table. Then he put another palm on Ace's shoulder and said to the restaurant owner: "The meal has been paid. , he...I took him away~"

With that said, Fang Rui and Ace disappeared instantly, scaring the other customers in the store to retreat and make embarrassing noises!

At the same time, in a room on the second floor of Yuyan, Fang Rui and Portcas D. Ace suddenly appeared. Fang Rui stood firmly on the floor, while Ace fell forward due to posture problems. …
