Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Moreover, Violet would be willing to do so if her sacrifice alone could save the entire Dressressa.

After all, Violet had not been happy during her ten years with the Don Quixote family, and she had to do many things against her will every day.

With Violet's assistance, Aokiji, having completed his disguise, successfully infiltrated Dressressa from another direction the following day.

Meeting Violet during his trip to Dressressa was a pleasant surprise for Aokiji.

He never imagined that there was such a thing as the "Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit," a Devil Fruit that could directly see through people's hearts.

If Wood is brought before Violet and she uses her abilities, wouldn't the mystery surrounding him be completely unveiled? Why should I continue to be a miserable undercover agent?

If he had met Violet earlier, he wouldn't have needed to lose his leg; he could be enjoying a sunbath on some warship right now, wearing an eye mask.

Meanwhile, after leaving Punk Hazard, the Straw Hat crew officially formed a pirate alliance with Trafalgar Law, and they are currently on their way to Dressressa.

Law was seeking revenge against Doflamingo, while the Straw Hat crew was simply driven by pure passion. After learning that almost everything on Punk Hazard was orchestrated by Doflamingo, the indignant Straw Hat crew decided to push through another "Seven Warlords of the Sea" arc.

"Back in Punk Hazard, we clearly had extra ships, so why did you insist on following us!"

"So, you've been following us all this time, not because you're planning to ambush us from behind, are you?"

On the Straw Hat Pirates' ship, the Thousand Sunny, Usopp and Chopper hid behind the mast, watching the uninvited guests on board with wary expressions.

These so-called uninvited guests, besides Wood and Robin, could not possibly be anyone else.

In the past, the Straw Hat Pirates trusted Wood quite a bit and considered him a friend.

However, after the battle at Punk Hazard, the Straw Hat crew has begun to be somewhat wary of Wood and his group.

To the Straw Hat crew, Caesar Clown was a complete scoundrel, yet Wood was now trying to recruit him.

Furthermore, Wood also attacked the Straw Hat crew during the Punk Hazard incident, so much so that the Straw Hat crew's attitude towards Wood and his group has changed from being partners and friends to now being "barely trustworthy" people.

"Don't be so cold. We've known each other for a long time. Caesar said he has research materials in Dressressa. Why don't you give us a ride? After all, you have a good cook on your ship."

And to be honest, if Monet hadn't released you and taken control of Caesar, you would have been reduced to ashes at the bottom of the sea along with Punk Hazard long ago.

Regarding the events on Punk Hazard, while Caesar bears some responsibility, Doflamingo should probably shoulder a larger share.

At this moment, on the Thousand Sunny, apart from the resilient Luffy and Franky who had a past with Wood, everyone else was quite wary of Wood and his crew, fearing that Wood might suddenly stab them in the back halfway through the journey.

"Brother Wood, these people really don't know what's good for them. Let's just kill them all."

Over the years, I've spent time with the Don Quixote family and have gained a basic understanding of the situation in Dressressa, as well as the internal workings of the Don Quixote family.

With our current lineup, we could easily take down the Joker and his crew even without these guys' help.

Seeing the Straw Hat crew's attitude towards Wood, Robin and the others aside, Monet, who is extremely brother-obsessed, couldn't stand it anymore and was glaring at the Straw Hat crew with murderous intent.

“That’s right. Who is our Captain Wood? Why would he need to plot against you?”

"If you really want to fight, do you think your entire ship can stand against us?"

Upon hearing Monet's words, Caesar saw that this was a rare opportunity and quickly stepped forward to pledge his loyalty.

Not to mention that with their current lineup, they are almost certain to win and there is no possibility of losing.

It's even quite possible that Caesar wouldn't even need to lift a finger; the three ladies on their side could wipe out the entire opposing team.

The main reason why Wood will become estranged from the Straw Hat crew is because of Caesar. If he doesn't quickly come out and show his loyalty now, what if he gets retaliated against later?

"Caesar, I didn't expect you, as a researcher, to be so brave. In that case, go up and teach them a lesson."

Remember to show them the power of Wood Arms Company, and don't let them embarrass us.

Upon hearing Wood's words, Caesar initially thought that the Straw Hat crew's reckless behavior had finally angered the boss, to the point that the boss was now going to take action to eliminate them.

To be honest, Caesar didn't like the Straw Hat crew either, since they had indeed ruined his research. So, to show his loyalty and to settle his personal grudge, Caesar immediately transformed his body into an elemental gas, preparing to rush towards the Straw Hat crew.

However, Caesar was quickly knocked away by Luffy, who was using Armament Haki. When he looked back in a daze, he found that Wood and the others were all sitting calmly, and it was clear that he was the only one who had rushed over.

"Captain Wood, why aren't you coming with me?"

Having taken a punch from Luffy head-on, Caesar's left cheek immediately swelled up. However, more than the beating, he was puzzled as to why Wood and the others had just watched without intervening.

"From the very beginning, I never said anything about what I was going to do to the Straw Hat crew. You were the one who was indignant and said you were going to teach them a lesson. Seeing that you were so eager to show your loyalty, I couldn't bear to refuse you, so I let you go."

Upon hearing what Wood said, Caesar was speechless. He was indeed eager to show off, but that was because he had a big shot like Wood backing him up.

The key issue is that, judging from the current situation, Wood has absolutely no desire to get involved in his own beating...

Seeing that Wood did nothing about Caesar being beaten, Luffy stopped being polite and climbed on top of him, giving him a good beating.

Even Nami and Chopper, who had previously harbored resentment towards Caesar, secretly gave him a few slaps on the buttocks.

“Hey, you can vent your anger, but don’t actually kill him. Caesar is still useful to me.”

Furthermore, my indifference to your beating up Caesar is not because I'm compromising with your Straw Hat crew, but rather to make him atone for his past actions.

After all, using innocent children for gigantification experiments is something I find utterly abhorrent!

While being beaten up, Caesar was still puzzled by Wood's intentions. Wood had recruited him and even made him a cadre, so why was he now letting the Straw Hat crew take their anger out on him?

Upon hearing what Wood said, Caesar instantly understood that his previous research had crossed Wood's line.

Although those children were provided by Doflamingo, it was a fact that he used them to conduct research, and Wood was extremely sinister and abhorred such behavior.

The purpose of this performance was not only to punish Caesar, but also to give him a heads-up and let him know where his bottom line was.

To prevent Caesar from continuing to act recklessly and arbitrarily after arriving at the Isle of Darkness.

“Brother Wood, I also…” Upon hearing Wood’s words and seeing Caesar’s current predicament, Monet, who was standing next to Wood, trembled and wanted to say something, but Wood stopped her with a gesture.

"I'll tell you about your punishment when we get back. The mastermind behind this whole thing is Doflamingo, the accomplice is Caesar, and you're just a nobody."

And you did it to gain their trust, so your punishment certainly won't be as severe as Caesar's."

Undeniably, Monet also bears some responsibility for what happened on Punk Hazard, but almost everything she did was for herself, and even to gain Caesar's trust, she transformed from a hot, mature woman into a harpy. Therefore, Wood couldn't bring himself to blame Monet at this moment.

Wood was not a rigid person. Although he had his own principles and bottom line, he would not cross them under normal circumstances.

However, if these principles and bottom lines conflict with the people and things that Wood cares about, Wood is capable of breaking his own principles and violating his own bottom lines.

Humans are selfish creatures. Wood doesn't consider himself a saint, but once he touches the people he cherishes and values, he can break some of his bottom lines!

So what if you bear a bad reputation? How can a chance encounter compare to cherishing something as much as your life? Some things, once lost, are truly gone forever.

After several days of sailing, the Thousand Sunny finally entered the waters off Dressressa.

Not wanting to alert the enemy, Wood and his group decided to split up. Wood, Robin, and Perona remained in one group, while Caesar and Monet joined the Straw Hat crew and Law in another.

Vergo has been killed, and Monet's identity as an inside agent has not been exposed, so Doflamingo should still be unaware of what happened at Punk Hazard.

So Wood suggested that Monet and Caesar pretend to be prisoners of the Straw Hat crew and join them.

As for Wood and Robin, they will infiltrate the town first, as usual. If they need to take action, they will. If you want, you can just watch the show.

Dressresreza is now a place rife with undercurrents, and the forces gathered there are incredibly complex and intertwined.

Countless pirates have come to the arena because of the "Flame-Flame Fruit".

The "Flame-Flame Fruit" was originally possessed by Portgas D. Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Its power is among the top even among Logia-type Devil Fruits.

On this vast ocean, those with great power can possess everything, so it's quite normal that the "Flame-Flame Fruit" would attract fierce competition from various parties.

Gizas Burgess of the Blackbeard Pirates has arrived, and Bartolomeo, captain of the Barto Pirates who has risen to prominence on the high seas in recent years, is also participating in this competition.

Cavendish of the Handsome Pirates, and even King Elizabello II of a nation, as well as Hajrudin of the Giant race, also participated in the competition.

Wood's former acquaintances (who had besieged Wood), the Green Pepper whose bounty on the Eight Treasures Water Army exceeded 500 million, as well as his grandson Lao Cai and Abu.

Oron Boots of the Yota Maria Crew, along with many other well-known pirate hunters, including those from the Longarm Tribe and the Longleg Tribe, have all gathered in this arena.

As for the Donquixote Family, they also sent combatant Mahbais and their top officer Diamanti.

Diamante was the safest option, since although Doflamingo used the "Flame-Flame Fruit" as bait, he didn't actually hand it over. Therefore, he arranged for the powerful Diamante to be the final boss.

The arena is divided into multiple arenas, and only by winning the free-for-all battles in one arena can one advance to the final competition.

After learning that the winner of the arena was the "Flame-Flame Fruit," Luffy participated in the competition, partly out of his love for fighting and partly out of his longing for Ace.

As for Law and the others, they also chose to split up. Franky and Nami went to find the armory that Monet mentioned, while Usopp and Brook were assigned to deal with Sugar, the most special executive of the Donquixote Family.

As for Law, along with the strongest Zoro and Sanji, they planned to take the "captured" Caesar and Monet to meet Doflamingo.

Actually, Doflamingo had already received word of the Straw Hat Pirates' arrival in Dressrosa, so he had been waiting for Law's call.

The moment the Den Den Mushi rang, Doflamingo said in a tone that suppressed his anger, "Law, all these years have passed, and you still haven't improved at all."

Do you think that just because you've captured Caesar, I can't do anything to you?

I think you've probably forgotten, but I hate betrayal the most, and those who betray me usually end up like this!

Doflamingo's tone was calm, but those familiar with him knew that his anger was nearing its maximum.

"Whether it will work or not, I think you know better than I do. If you want Caesar and Monet to be safe and sound, you'd better do as I say."

An hour later, come to the north coast of Dressressa. Remember, you can only come alone, otherwise you can expect to be Caesar's corpse.

"If Caesar dies, you'll be in serious trouble too. After all, the wrath of a Yonko is not something to be trifled with."

Upon hearing Law's words, Doflamingo finally lost his temper and crushed the Den Den Mushi's microphone with his bare hands.

He simply couldn't refuse Law's invitation, even knowing it was a trap to lure him in. Doflamingo had no choice but to walk into the trap.

The fact that Law is using Caesar to blackmail him means that Caesar already knows about his deal with the Four Emperors, and just as the other party said, he can't afford to offend the Four Emperors now, so he has to save Caesar!
