Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Many people went to the same place as the two of them, all curious about the "cave world" and the "flying ship".

On the way to the location of the "building ship", most of the people chatted happily.

Phrases like "Do you believe it?", "I don't believe it," and "It's impossible" echoed above the crowd.

Of course, there were also some people who remained silent and did not participate in the mockery.

Upon arriving near the "building ship," the group was stopped and, under the organization of the villagers, entered the "building ship" in batches.

………………

While everyone was touring the "building ship," Fang Rui didn't stay inside. Instead, he went to other worlds to find suitable land to throw into the "cave world."

After all, creating land, water, flowers, trees and plants from scratch is an extremely tiring task, so after thinking for a few seconds, Fang Rui found an alternative.

After creating the grotto-heaven, moving an island or land inside and then spending some effort to integrate it with the grotto-heaven would make things much easier...

The first stop is Voyage World, because there are many uninhabited islands there, and you can move them without needing anyone's consent.

Another point is that he has established a presence in the world of seafaring; let's take a look at how that presence is developing...

Therefore, Fang Rui chose it.

In the first half of the Grand Line lies Alabasta, a desert kingdom with a long history.

No, it's not quite right to describe Alabasta as a "desert kingdom." After the Baroque Works and the royal family established a partnership, lush forests and clear rivers gradually appeared within the kingdom.

After all, nearly a third of the desert area within the kingdom has been covered by vegetation, making the term "Oasis Kingdom" a more appropriate description. As cooperation continues for some time, Alabasta will surely be able to shed its title as the "Desert Kingdom."

Following the forests and rivers came the disbandment of the rebel army and the cheers of the people…

Looking at the completely transformed Alabasta, a thoughtful look flashed in Fang Rui's eyes.

What exactly did Cobra go through to convince his clone to plant trees?

Let alone money, given Alabasta's current situation, it's impossible to raise that much money in a short period of time, and even if they were to borrow... it's not certain that anyone would be willing to lend to Alabasta.

Therefore, out of curiosity, Fang Rui found his clone, retrieved it, and sorted through the memories.

It has been a week since he left.

Six days ago, Kaido descended upon the "Desert Kingdom," and a gust of evil wind frightened the Germa Kingdom so much that it immediately announced its joining the Beasts Pirates and began cooperating with Baroque Works.

The reason this matter is progressing so smoothly is that Vinsmoke Judge had long been looking for partners in order to reunify the North Blue. Therefore, when he heard that the Beasts Pirates wanted to cooperate with him, he thought for a moment and said that there was no problem.

Five days ago, Wapol was escorted to the Rain Banquet. After five days of research, his clone was able to create the Gluttony Fruit with a similarity of over 80%.

"Research data on Devil Fruits is lacking."

"Speaking of which, Vegapunk once researched Devil Fruits and created one with a very high degree of perfection. However, he ultimately stopped his research. It's unclear whether he felt he had achieved his goal by successfully creating one Devil Fruit and that continuing research would no longer be fulfilling, or whether he was dissatisfied with the Devil Fruit he created and had no direction for further improvement, which led him to stop his research..."

"What the truth is is none of my business..."

Fang Rui stated that he was simply after Vegapunk's research materials. He needed to divine where the World Government was hiding Vegapunk, but if it was Devil Fruit research materials, he would know without needing to divine.

Caesar Clown, who calls himself a "genius scientist," must have research data on Vegapunk's Devil Fruits. After all, he was a member of the original research team MADS and the World Government's science team, and worked with Vegapunk. His main research areas were artificial Devil Fruits, human gigantification, and weapons of mass destruction.

His research lab was built in Punk Hazard, but when it was built...

Fang Rui was unaware of this, but he could tell from the Beast Pirates' orcs that Kaido and Doflamingo's deal had begun, meaning that Caesar Clown and Doflamingo were already in a cooperative relationship.

and so……

"Let's send a clone to Punk Hazard to take a look first!"

A beam of light shot out from a window on the second floor of the Rain Banquet, and Fang Rui continued to sort through his memories...

Three days ago, Kobra requested Fang Rui to plant trees in the areas surrounding Alabasta's major towns in exchange for the next thirty years of Alabasta's tax revenue.

One day ago, the "small sky island" Visalia was found. King and the meteorologists were discussing some things. The "sky island" Angel Island was already guarded by a force of the Beast Pirates, and they were building an island cloud manufacturing factory.

Today, he returned to Alabasta.

"No news at all about the Straw Hat Pirates..."

Fang Rui rubbed his cheek. If there were no unexpected events, the Straw Hat Pirates should arrive in the next few days.

"I wonder what Princess Vivi would think if she saw Alabasta as it is now?"

A smile appeared on Fang Rui's face; he was very interested in what kind of expression Princess Vivi would make.

I'm also quite curious whether Crocodile will get beaten up.

"Don't interfere, just observe how things develop..."

With that, he sent out another clone to search for the deserted island, while he himself began reading the books provided by Vinsmoke Judge. Fang Rui had no interest in cloning technology, but he was very interested in combat suit technology and some other technologies.

He felt that the technology of mechanical puppets and combat suits could be combined.

While Fang Rui was reading, the Straw Hat Pirates had already arrived at a coastline in Alabasta, where the Going Merry docked. Meanwhile, Luffy and the others, somewhat bewildered, carried supplies to the oasis town of Yuba in the desert.

Since returning to Alabasta, what Vivi has seen and heard is completely different from what she imagined; in fact, it is quite different.

The "desert kingdom" is about to become a "forest kingdom".

With the royal family collaborating with Baroque Works, Crocodile's heroic image has become even more solidified in the public's mind, and the rebel army has been disbanded...

'I need intelligence…'

With that in mind, Vivi sent the fast-running duck "Run Fast" to the palace to deliver a message to Ikalem to meet him in Yuba.

At the same time, Fang Rui's two clones had already begun their work. One clone had already found the uninhabited island and was currently refining the Pot Heaven Magic Treasure to house the island.

Another clone has arrived in Punk Hazard. Punk Hazard has not yet been transformed into an island of ice and fire by the battle between Kuzan and Sakazuki, but the environment is still very harsh…

After all, the reason Punk Hazard was abandoned was because the weapons of mass destruction created by Caesar Clown were "leaked".

"What a 'quiet' island."

Due to the accident years ago, Punk Hazard has never recovered to this day; there are very few green plants, and almost no animals or insects.

"Wait a minute, I remember there's a dragon living in Punk Hazard. With no wild animals on the island, its food source isn't... provided by Caesar Clown, is it?"

"Not necessarily, perhaps they are fishing at sea."

According to the lore, this dragon can adapt to any environment, so it's not surprising that it can swim...

Chapter 241 Vivi's Decision

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

A dragon, which was chanting involuntarily, suddenly appeared in Fang Rui's field of vision.

With a deafening roar, a massive red beast claw landed on the mountaintop, slowly crushing the rocks. The ferocious beast slowly rose from the other side of the mountain, somewhat like a cutscene of a boss's entrance in a game.

"Roar----"

The behemoth roared, and a ring of air rippled outwards, stirring up mud and sand.

"Yeah, it feels even more like that now~"

Fang Rui remained calm, showing no sign of panic. His gaze fell upon a hill where a snail was staring at him...

'A video Den Den Mushi...'

Fang Rui thought to himself: It seems Caesar Courant has already discovered me~

At the same time, the giant beast, noticing its prey's distraction, sharpened its eyes, pushed off with its powerful limbs, and leaped forward, the behemoth, as large as a hill, soaring into the air and rapidly approaching Fang Rui's location.

It crushed the mountain rocks with one step, and the sound of the mountain collapsing was like a bugle call to charge.

"If it can jump with such a large weight, the meat quality must be quite good."

As he spoke, undisguised malice was released, and the first beast to be hit let out a mournful cry, and the illusion of being placed on a chopping board, with a sharp cleaver coming towards it appeared before its eyes.

The terrified beast thrashed about in the air, seemingly trying to drive something away, before crashing to the ground in a sorry state. It continued its frantic struggle, quickly retreating away from Fang Rui into the valley, where it curled up, trembling with fear…

In the monitoring room, Monet, who had seen this scene, seemed to be deep in thought. As a woman who had seen the world, she knew about the existence of Haki and was quite familiar with Conqueror's Haki.

After all, her young master, Donquixote Doflamingo, possessed Conqueror's Haki, so she had the privilege of witnessing several times how beasts were terrified by it...

Similar to the fearful appearance of the "Big Clumsy Dragon" in the picture, "Big Clumsy Dragon" is the name Caesar Courland gave to the dragon, whose original name he had forgotten.

'The possessor of Conqueror's Haki...'

Monet thought to himself, and at the same time, an unfamiliar voice came from the left: "The image is very clear! You can take a few Den Den Mushi back..."

Startled by the sound so close at hand, Monet instinctively dodged to the side, turned in mid-air to face the direction from which the sound came, and landed in a fighting stance.

Fang Rui's gaze fell on Monet, who was reacting violently. He looked her up and down for a moment. Her long, wavy, light green hair reached her waist, and her green and white striped sleeveless top accentuated her beautiful figure. Her orange shorts, which only reached her upper thighs, revealed her fair, long legs...

Its golden pupils were filled with vigilance, and its fair arms showed signs of turning into ice and snow.

"Snow-Snow Fruit... Let's take it back with us!"

Upon hearing this, Monet suddenly felt a pain in his neck, his vision was gradually swallowed by darkness, and his consciousness gradually faded away.

Fang Rui held the fallen Monet in his arms to prevent her from hitting the ground, then tossed her into the magical artifact, the Pot Heaven. He then headed to the other rooms of the research institute. He didn't even glance at the research products and equipment displayed in the rooms, focusing instead on collecting various research materials...

Aside from the artificial Devil Fruits created by Vegapunk, which are relatively well-made artificial Devil Fruits and worth studying.

After some time, Fang Rui collected all the research data stored in the research institute into his storage ring. Then he went to a certain place on the island, threw the fire dragon into the magic pottery, and then transformed into light and flew into the sky...

Until this point, César Courland was unaware that the research institute had been hacked, and he was also completely unaware that Monet had been captured.

Back at the Rain Banquet, Monet locked herself in a Seastone cell and ordered Robin to guard her.

He carefully reads the research materials on artificial Devil Fruits, occasionally studies them, and waits for his other clone to return.

While Fang Rui was working diligently, Weiwei and Ikaram met successfully, and Weiwei learned from Ikaram about the recent changes in Alabasta.

After listening, Weiwei remained silent.

Due to preconceived notions, Vivi suspected that Baroque Works was plotting something.

Sanji readily agreed without any principles. Zoro remained silent for the time being, but he knew bounty hunters well. On the surface, bounty hunters were supposed to assist the Navy in eliminating pirates and bandits, but in many cases, bounty hunters could also be pirates and bandits themselves.

Therefore, he did not believe that an organization composed of a group of bounty hunters would be good.

Nami didn't have many thoughts on this. Whether Baroque Works was good or bad, a battle was inevitable in the end. After all, they had already been on Baroque Works' wanted list when they were targeted by the "Unlucky Duo." Baroque Works wouldn't let them off easily, so there was no need to think too much about it...

Chopper's expression was subtle. To be precise, he was a specially invited doctor for Baroque Works, earning a monthly salary of over one million Berries.

At this moment, discussing with others how to deal with their own organization, he felt quite conflicted.

As for why Chopper became a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, it can only be said that Luffy was too persistent, and Chopper, who longed for companions, could not resist the temptation and thus joined the Straw Hat Pirates.
