Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

With that thought in mind, he and Snape passed through the portal and arrived in the world of sailing.

"First, where are you planning to go?"

"Naval Headquarters."

Upon reaching the edge of the island, we found the naval base, spoke briefly with the base commander, and then boarded a warship to head to the naval headquarters.

It takes several days to travel from Delta Island to the Naval Headquarters. Fang Rui did not interfere with the warship's speed and did not chat with Snape during the voyage.

To be honest, he and Snape had nothing to say to each other.

Potions occupied about half of Snape's life, and Lily occupied the other half.

He didn't understand either the former or the latter.

Rather, it would be problematic if he understood the latter.

Therefore, he relieved his boredom by fishing during the voyage...

Fishing in the world of sailing is full of surprises; besides ordinary fish, there are also other things you can catch.

During his fishing trip of several days, Fang Rui caught sea monsters, gold jewelry, shipwreck debris, and more...

A few days later, they arrived at the Navy Headquarters.

Snape went to the Marshal's office to visit the Navy and delivered an invitation to Sakazuki and others.

Fang Rui did not join them, but continued fishing on the shore.

"Hey! Mr. Fang Rui, it's been a long time."

Kuzan, carrying a fishing rod, sat down next to Fang Rui, skillfully cast his line, and began fishing...

"It's been a while..." Fang Rui agreed, then asked, "What have you been doing lately? Have you left the Navy?"

"Semi-retired, I suppose! My current position is as an instructor at the training camp, training soldiers alongside Teacher Zephyr, and leading newly trained soldiers through trials..."

"Occasionally, we'll be given missions to eliminate pirates."

"Overall, life is pretty easy."

"You... are semi-retired?" Fang Rui asked, somewhat surprised. "Then who is the Fleet Admiral?"

"The position of Fleet Admiral... is actually rotated."

Kuzan really wanted to complain. Actually, the position of Fleet Admiral was originally held by one person, but nowadays the seas are quite chaotic, and considering certain special circumstances, the Fleet Admiral is frequently replaced.

He served as a marshal, as did Sakazuki, and even Borsalino.

However, to be fair, the marshals' duties were quite demanding, and none of them lasted very long, especially Borsalino, whose tenure was the shortest.

The one who persisted the longest was Sakazuki.

Incidentally, Sakazuki prefers hunting down pirates on the high seas to handling documents at headquarters.

He, too, had no interest in dealing with documents, let alone Borsalino...

This is also why the marshals are changed so frequently.

"You guys really know how to have fun..."

Fang Rui really wanted to complain. The last time he came to the Maritime World, the position of naval admiral was held by the same person. They didn't change it so frequently.

"Didn't the Warring States period mention you?"

"No, the retired Mr. Zhan Guo is quite unrestrained and has no intention of managing anything."

Kuzan said this.

"Hey~" Fang Rui looked at the water, but the fishing rod didn't move at all. "No fish!"

"That's normal. There are many boats coming and going near the island, so there are relatively few fish gathered near the island. You'll have to wait a while."

Kuzan explained, "I usually fish on the other side of the island, far from the harbor."

"Fishing in the harbor isn't really appropriate!"

As he said this, Fang Rui had no intention of moving.

“It’s nothing, fishing is just for fun…” Borsalino said, carrying his fishing rod.

"Why are you here too?" Fang Rui really wanted to complain.

Sakazuki is working, while Borsalino and Kuzan are slacking off.

Damn, it's a world-famous painting!

“I’ve been quite free lately, so of course I’m taking the opportunity to rest,” Borsalino explained.

People from other worlds often come to the world of sailing, and they encounter pirates while trying to achieve their goals.

What kind of creatures are pirates? Simply put, they're all about "attack, attack, attack." They'll attack any merchant ship or pirate ship they see that isn't a warship. If they can win, they'll fight; if there's no chance of victory, they'll run away...

Therefore, there will always be pirates who encounter people from other worlds and launch attacks...

The result? Naturally, the ship was destroyed...

How could someone who can come to another world be weak? Especially since basic information about each world is shared, and everyone knows the level of danger in the other world.

"Are you very free?" Fang Rui grasped Borsalino's key point. It seemed that the Navy could participate in the Hogwarts Tournament.

“I’m not really free,” Kuzan explained. “I just have some free time lately.”

Due to the changes in the New World, the Navy temporarily abandoned the New World and instead focused its efforts on clearing out the four seas and the first half of the Grand Line.

"Any free time..." Fang Rui said, then asked the two, "How long can this 'free time' last? There's a gathering coming up in a while, you should be able to come, right?"

“There shouldn’t be any problem. My vacation time is useless,” Borsalino said.

“I should be fine too, Sakazuki will stay at headquarters on duty,” Kuzan said.

Compared to the two lazy people, Sakazuki is definitely more serious.

"Alright! I hope you two... don't get beaten up by Sakazuki!"

"Probably... no way?" Kuzan's tone was uncertain. Thinking about Sakazuki's personality, if he and Borsalino skipped work together, he might really get so angry that he would beat them up.

“How terrifying, Sakazuki!” Borsalino said, pouting.

“Indeed!” Kuzan agreed.

"You guys..." Fang Rui was speechless. If Sakazuki heard this, you two would get beaten up.

"Relax~" Borsalino said.

The three of them were fishing when Snape and Sakazuki finished their conversation. Sakazuki didn't explicitly say whether he would accept the invitation, and Snape similarly didn't ask clearly; he was just there to deliver the invitation.

Approaching the three fishermen, Snape asked, "Where shall we go next?"

"Let's go find Newgate and Kaido." Fang Rui put away his fishing rod and left Marine Headquarters with Snape.

Chapter 406 The Smooth Invitation Process

Merchant ships also visit the Naval Headquarters, responsible for transporting various food supplies and daily necessities to the headquarters.

For ordinary civilians living at the Naval Headquarters, one way to leave the Naval Headquarters was by merchant ship.

Fang Rui and Snape left on a merchant ship. After arriving at the Sabaody Archipelago, they passed through the checkpoints on the Red Line and arrived at the New World.

Travel by passenger ship to the waters under Newgate's control.

The waters under Newgate's control are very free. The guard team composed of the Whitebeard Pirates does not interfere with the lives of the residents. They are only responsible for the safety of the people and collect protection money on time.

Therefore, each island is managed by different residents.

Upon arriving at an island, they first contacted the guard stationed there, then obtained Newgate's location, and boarded a sailboat to reach the Moby Dick.

"It's been a long time, Fang Rui," Newgate said, his height giving off an imposing aura even when he was sitting.

'People from another world are truly formidable.'

Snape thought to himself, "To be nearly as tall as a giant is actually a human."

"Long time no see, Newgate, you seem a bit younger."

Fang Rui glanced at Newgate for a moment and commented that compared to the Newgate of the past, the current Newgate did look younger and much healthier...

“I’ve been working out seriously lately…” Newgate replied with a smile after hearing Fang Rui’s words.

In the interconnected world, there are multiple ways to solve Newgate's problem, such as the cultivation techniques of the fox spirit world, Nico Mellor's Philosopher's Stone potion, and the special methods of the ninja world...

Based on Newgate's words, he was probably using cultivation techniques from the world of fox spirits.

"Oh~" Fang Rui didn't continue on this matter, but took a step back to let Snape get down to business.

Seeing Fang Rui's actions, Snape instantly understood his thoughts, stepped forward, and used a spell to deliver the invitation to Newgate, then quietly waited for him to finish reading it.

"I'll be there."

Unlike the Navy, Newgate is very free. He has plenty of free time to play in other worlds and is in the mood to go on adventures in other worlds and see new scenery.

He did not refuse Hogwarts' invitation this time.

Activities in another world are quite interesting.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since any pirate-themed events have been held...

Newgate's thoughts drifted to the pirate carnival—the expo—and he felt an urge to organize one and invite people to join in.

But upon closer reflection, now that he has gone straight and is no longer a pirate, it wouldn't be appropriate to hold a pirate expo.

"Let's find someone else to host it!" Newgate thought to himself.

Snape was quite pleased with Newgate's promise. He had accomplished a little more of his mission and was about to leave when he heard Newgate's invitation.

"Have a meal before you leave!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Rui had no objections. The food in the One Piece world was quite delicious, and it just so happened to be mealtime.

Snape didn't refuse either. Was it a problem to have a meal after work? Of course, it was no problem.

So the two accepted Newgate's invitation to stay on the Moby Dick for a meal.

The three had lunch cooked by Satchel, the man Blackbeard Teach killed, but recently Newgate found a way to pull him out of the underworld and bring him back to the world of the living.

As for what method it is, it's Fang Rui, of course...
