Simulation: Start with one person

thump—

The collision between his forehead and the floor made a clear and loud sound.

'It's a good head! '

Fang Rui, who was on the side, praised in his heart, and saw Ace holding his forehead and slowly getting up, looking around blankly.

"What's going on? Where is this?!"

"Am I not eating?"

As he spoke, he rolled his tongue, rolled a few rice sticks on his lips into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it. He cast a wary gaze on Fang Rui and asked in a lukewarm tone: "Brother, do you know What's going on?"

"I brought you here." Fang Rui told the truth directly without hiding anything.

"What's the reason?" Ace's expression did not change, still cold, but the rice on his face ruined the atmosphere.

"Please watch a good show, and by the way, I invite you to participate in a training class."

"Sorry, I'm not interested in what you're talking about."

With that said, Ace turned into flames and flew towards the open window. Unfortunately, as soon as he took off, Fang Rui slapped him back into his human form, causing him to fall to the ground in a panic.

"Armed Haki? No, that's not right..."

Because of his youth and ignorance, there was a time when he was beaten with fists and slaps wrapped around Haki every day, so he was quite aware of the feeling of being hit by Haki.

He could say with certainty that the power that had transformed him into an elemental form just now was not Haki, but some other kind of power.

In addition to domineering power, there are also other forces that can restrain elementalization, such as sea water, sea tower stone, two elements that restrain each other...

but……

'What power did he use just now? '

Recalling the scene a few seconds ago, in his impression, the stranger just waved his hand casually, without using domineering force or other powers...

Not using any power was in Ace's opinion. Ace, who had only been out at sea for a few years and had little experience, could tell something. A big pirate who had been roaming the sea for many years couldn't tell what kind of power Fang Rui used. …

"You have no right to refuse. Even if you call Whitebeard, the result will be the same."

Ace: "…………"

Are you an acquaintance of Dad?

but……

A little too young, it doesn’t look like it!

Ignoring Ace's changing expression, Fang Rui took out the projector phone, snapped his fingers, and the two disappeared from the room.

Ace's eyes only blurred. The environment he was in had changed. The ordinary office had turned into a training ground made of rocks. The blazing sunlight shone on the rocks. The extremely high temperature made what Ace saw look a little strange. A sense of distortion.

"Huh? Why is the Whitebeard kid here?"

A rough voice filled with doubts came from behind, and Eston was startled. He jumped aside like a reflex and looked at the place where the voice came from.

"Kaido?!"

A voice full of surprise came out of Ace's mouth: "Why are you here?!"

Kaido looked away and ignored Ace who asked such an idiotic question. He was a majestic Yonko. How could he be an ordinary pirate? !

"Ace!"

A cheerful voice came from behind again, and Ace felt his waist being hugged. Judging from the size of his hands, the person hugging him should be a child.

Twist your waist and lower your head.

The picture that appeared in the field of vision was a bright smile.

"Ayu?! Why are you here?!" Ace's face was full of surprise, and then a little worry appeared on his face.

"It was Master Fang Rui who brought me out to find you." Ayu was very excited and smiled happily.

Tengu Shan Fei Che, who was on the side, folded his arms and snorted coldly, feeling a little sour in his heart. Ayu had never smiled so happily in front of him.

"Mr. Tenguyama, long time no see."

Hearing the cold snort, Ace followed the sound and saw Feitu Tenguyama, who was exuding an unhappy atmosphere. The joy of meeting old friends made him ignore everything else.

Immediately afterwards, Ace saw an illusory portal open, and a group of people fell out of the door...

After the "Let's watch the live broadcast together" event was held, Fang Rui suddenly had an idea in his mind.

There are many scientists in the maritime world, but they are distributed on various islands around the world, making communication inconvenient, and many people are unwilling to leave their homes and settle on other islands.

Some of the reasons for not wanting to leave are because of staying home, some because the ship's slow movement speed delays research, and some because the sea is full of dangers... Anyway, there are various reasons, and it is troublesome to give examples one by one.

So Fang Rui decided to create a portal and use the power of the portal fruit to create it.

But this time the ability he used was not the ability of the Gate Fruit, but his own spell.

When the mark is paired with the teleportation talisman, a person can be teleported here from thousands of miles away with just one click.

Of course, it can also be teleported back, provided there are markers that serve as positioning.

After greeting acquaintances one by one, Fang Rui placed the projector phone bug on a stone platform, then hung a screen more than ten meters away from the front of the projector phone bug, and then controlled the rock to flow, adding a new dimension to the training ground. build.

When the light in the training ground dimmed, the image emitted by the projector phone bug could finally be seen clearly.

"Luffy?!" Ace said in surprise again. He had forgotten how many times he had been surprised today.

Ignoring the excited Ace, Fang Rui called for the others to sit down: "Come on, come on, everyone, sit down and watch."

As he spoke, the ground shook for a while, and rows of rock seats rose up.

Everyone took their seats one by one and looked at the screen.

"No, I have to find him."

It was impossible for Ace to watch the show here with peace of mind, so he immediately expressed his intention to leave.

"Kaido." Fang Rui called softly.

Kaido reached out and grabbed Ace, and then put the seastone handcuffs on his hands.

"Watch the show quietly..."

After Ace was subdued, the training ground became completely quiet.

………………

Meanwhile, rain.

Although the Rain Land is nominally Alabasta's land, the actual manager is Crocodile, and the kingdom's binding force on this land is relatively weak.

Therefore, there are not many soldiers of the kingdom in the Rainlands.

Today, because we have to receive the princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta - Neferutari Vivi, the Rain Banquet is temporarily closed, and even the waiters have all taken a day off...

There were only a few people in the entire casino.

On the second floor of Yuyan, there is the reception room.

"I wonder what Princess Weiwei wants from me?"

Crocodile sat on the soft sofa, biting a cigar, puffing away smoke, showing a very comfortable expression.

This is life!

In the past few days, it was okay to exercise very tiringly, but having to fight Kaido for half an hour every day was simply...

Crocodile slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, not wanting to say anything, but the bandage on his face already spoke for itself.

Looking at Crocodile who was seriously injured, Weiwei's expression was a little subtle. Who is so powerful that he can beat Crocodile, one of the Seven Sea Warriors, like this?

This question was also what Smoker, who was standing aside, wanted to ask. People with natural abilities could walk sideways in the first half of the Grand Route. After all, there were very few people who mastered Haki.

If you want to beat Crocodile, an experienced pirate, to a black and blue face, you must be at the same level of strength as him and have armed Haki.

How could such a person be in the first half of the Grand Line?

Smoker frowned, wanting to call the Navy Headquarters and ask if a big pirate from the New World had slipped into the park.

But it was not good for him to leave now, so he endured it.

"There is something I want to ask you face to face." Princess Vivi's expression was quite serious and her tone was serious, "The reason why Alabasta has become so chaotic is probably you!"

Hearing this, Smog's eyes suddenly shifted from Crocodile's face to Princess Weiwei's face. Is it such a direct question?

and……

Even if he did this kind of thing, it would be impossible for him to admit it.

Especially in my presence...

Smoker expressed how it was possible for a prisoner to admit to a crime in front of law enforcement officers.

"Yes, it's me."

Crocodile held the cigar between his index finger and thumb, blew out a puff of rich smoke to one side, and said in a casual tone.

"I started targeting Alabasta because of something, but I no longer continue~"

"Otherwise, it would be impossible for Baroque Works to cooperate with Alabasta."

Smoker looked shocked, there really are such arrogant criminals!

Are you looking down on me? !

Princess Weiwei took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart.

Looking at Princess Weiwei's expression, Crocodile showed a disdainful smile: "It seems that you are very angry! Little princess!"

"But it's useless for you to be angry. As my identity, even if you make trouble in the Five Old Stars, nothing will happen to me, because I am the Shichibukai. I just make trouble in a kingdom. They don't care. What could it do to me."

Smoker: "…………"

I want to beat him up!

It's disgusting to be so arrogant in front of the navy!

But I can't seem to beat him...

The Smoker suddenly fell silent.

He looked at Crocodile with a subtle gaze, as if he was thinking of some bad idea.
