I simulate the future in the pirate world

Mandrasrak Island is an uninhabited island located northwest of the Grand Line.

But at this time, more than ten and nearly twenty large pirate ships docked on the coast of Manderslak, which made the originally quiet island become lively.

Of course, "lively" is only relative to normal times. In fact, the people on the island at this time are in extremely low mood and do not want to communicate too much with the people around them.

Except for very few people.

"Calm down, Ace!" Marco shouted, holding Ace's shoulders and facing him.

"How do you want me to calm down!? Yes, I was rescued, but where is dad?" Ace's voice was hoarse, and tears kept pouring out of the corners of his eyes.

On the side, even Luffy, who knew Ace best, didn't know how to comfort Ace at this time.

However, Ace wanted to return to the Navy Headquarters to rescue Whitebeard, and he had to stop it at all costs.

"Damn it... I really deserve to die!"

Ace fell to his knees with a plop, and weakly raised his fist to hit the beach beneath him.

"Ugh..."

All the captains also shook their heads and sighed.

"Cheer up, Ace, daddy...is very optimistic about you!" a captain said.

He didn't put it clearly.

In fact, everyone knows that the reason why Whitebeard desperately wants to rescue Ace is because he hopes that Ace can replace him and lead them to the top.

As the captain spoke, others began to encourage Ace.

It's useless though.

Could this obstacle in Ace's heart be eliminated with just a few words?

Maybe it can only be smoothed out little by little over time.

the other side.

On the Polar Diver, Oak had placed a huge sun chair on the deck at some point, and was currently lying on the chair basking in the afterglow of the sun that was about to disappear on the sea level.

Having not been in the sun for so many years, Oke planned to get enough of it in one go to make up for the "yang energy" he had lost in the past few years.

In other places on the deck, some crew members were standing or sitting in twos and threes.

Although they really don't want to get close to Oak,... the cabin is actually Luo's operating room. Under normal circumstances, they will not stay in it for a long time.

As for going back to the room...

The Polar Diver is too small, and there are only two rooms for living. Many people share a room. Even though they have paid great attention to hygiene, as pirates who have been sailing on the sea all year round, it is almost impossible to take a bath every day. It's impossible, so the room will inevitably smell a little strange.

That's why they don't want to go back to their rooms.

Finally, as time passed, the sunset completely disappeared into the sea level.

Oak slowly opened his eyes, stood up and stretched, and then walked towards the cabin.

"Finally gone..."

"Wow, I can't even breathe..."

The crew members all breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Oak walking into the cabin, and began to communicate.

In the cabin, or in Luo's operating room, Luo was sitting at a table, reading medical books.

Seeing Oke walking in, Luo looked a little unnatural.

This guy is simply a monster.

Not just in terms of strength, but a monster in every sense of the word!

How could anyone seize someone else's pirate ship and then declare himself the captain?

But he had no choice but to realize the gap between himself and Oak, although he didn't know why Oak could ignore his abilities.

In order to save his own life and the lives of all the crew members, he could only choose to obey.

At the moment, the Polar Diver is also heading towards an isolated island in accordance with Oak's instructions.

Oak just glanced at Luo and walked into one of the rooms.

Although he only changed his clothes in Impel Down, after a battle and sweating under Akainu's hot lava for a while, it was necessary for him to change his clothes again.

More than ten minutes later, Oak walked out of the room.

He had a towel wrapped around his head and his upper body was naked, exposing his muscles.

After not having a good haircut for several years, his hair became so long and plentiful that he had to rely on the sea breeze to dry it completely.

Luo raised his eyes and saw Oke's image, and his expression changed.

Of course it wasn't because Oak was touching his body.

"Have you taken a shower?" Luo Nannan asked proactively.

"Isn't this obvious?" Oak stopped walking towards the door, turned slightly and said.

He was wiping his hair casually with a towel, trying to reduce the moisture in his hair before the sea breeze blew it.

"Don't you know that fresh water is precious at sea... What will we drink after you use that water?" Luo helplessly covered his forehead, feeling a little headache.

There were already more than [-] people on this boat, and now there are three more. The fresh water they brought with them was not much, which was enough to meet their needs before setting foot in the next town, but now... they actually used it to drink. Water for bathing?

As far as he knew, that isolated island had no water source.

Even if the Ork in front of him was countless times more powerful than him, and even powerful enough to kill him in an instant, he couldn't bear it anymore and had to speak up for the crew!

Oak rolled his eyes and walked off the deck.

He glanced at everyone and said: "That's right, you all should take a shower. It really stinks. The smell of that room is really worse than my cell, especially you, White Bear, you are responsible for the whole room." hair!"

With a thought, a book appeared on the ground and became several meters high.

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Oke in confusion.

"Everyone, get in!" Oke waved his hands like he was chasing people away.

"Do we...want it too?" Yasheng Pingteng looked at the huge book with some fear, then looked at Oak and asked.

"Nonsense." Oak glanced at Yasheng Pingteng with disgust, then glanced at Willina Bain, indicating that she also wanted to go in together.

"Gulu..." Ya Shengping took three steps and finally approached the book.

"It's so annoying." Oak appeared behind him and pushed him in. "And you all, hurry up."

As Oak finished speaking, all the pirates stared at each other, and finally they could only walk into the book one after another.

"What are you going to do?" Luo finally walked out.

"Of course I let you take a shower." Oke crossed his arms and said, "You don't think you don't have to go in, do you? You're wearing a hat on a hot day, and your hair is all tangled, right?"

"you..."

Luo was speechless for a moment and wanted to refute but didn't know how.

Indeed, his hair had not been washed for several days, not to mention that wearing a hat in this weather would indeed make him sweat profusely.

But wearing hats is his hobby, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't wear them.

"Ha, it seems I was right." Oak sneered, grabbed Luo's shoulders and threw him into the book.

Later, he himself entered the world of the book.

"here..."

Luo only felt slightly dizzy. When he saw clearly, he realized that he was no longer on the ship.

"Is this...an alien space?" Luo was a little shocked.

In the long comic series "Warriors of the Sea and Sky" that he read well when he was a child, there is a saying about "alternative space". Those evil Germa Legions are actually visitors from another space, so they Only possessing such high-end science and technology.

But right now, this empty space and these strange and unfamiliar buildings in front of us look like another world.

In front of him, Bebo and others were also surprised, but not as surprised as him.

Because they had already visited this similar space not long ago.

However, it was their first time to see these strange yet extremely tall buildings in front of them.

"call out..."

Suddenly, Luo saw the space beside him distort, and then Oak's figure appeared beside him.

"Everyone, come here." Oke clapped his hands and asked everyone to look at him.

This world in the book is a small town that he spent a lot of energy creating that night a few years ago.

Of course, to call it a small town is actually to say it in a modern way. In the world of One Piece, the area covered by the buildings in this book world is actually larger than an island.

Everyone didn't dare to walk around in this strange place, so they naturally gathered around Ouke.

Luo tightened the grip in his hand and looked up at the skyscraper, which was hundreds of meters high. He suddenly felt extremely small.

"Ta..." Oak snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, a tall building in front of him disappeared.

This scene shocked all the pirates.

But what shocked them was more than that.

Where the tall buildings disappeared, a huge swimming pool suddenly appeared.

The most important thing is that the originally empty swimming pool suddenly filled with crystal clear water!

"This...is this?" Even Luo was a little confused.

What was happening in front of him made it difficult for him to tell whether it was a dream or reality.

Why do these things disappear and appear out of thin air?

"Okay, let's go down and wash up." Oak waved his hand.

Suddenly, he thought of something again and created a swimming pool out of thin air again.

There were two women in this group.

Bain and a girl whose name he didn't know yet, but who was originally a member of the Heart Pirates.

"Plop...plop..."

The pirates rushed into the swimming pool one by one like mad dogs.

"Why is this?" Luo's eyes were still in disbelief.

"what why?"

"Where is this? Everything here disappears or appears out of thin air under the control of your mind, right? Why is this happening?" The taciturn Luo asked several questions in one breath.

"Then can you tell me why there is neither blood nor pain when you chop someone?"

"This is the power of the surgical fruit!"

"So, this is the ability of Shushu Fruit." Oak shrugged.

Luo was stunned and speechless for a moment.

"This ability... is really..." Luo swallowed and walked towards the swimming pool unconsciously.

Although he is a Devil Fruit user, even if it is not sea water, he is a little disgusted, but he really can't refuse to take a bath.

"By the way, you can't drink this water. It's useless if you drink it." Oak mentioned in passing.

Since there was only one other poolside, Bain had already swallowed a few gulps of water.

In fact, she was very thirsty.

She was locked up in the book world for a long time without being fed by an Oak, and when she came out, she was too embarrassed to ask for water, so she could only take a few sips of water now.

Although I don’t know if it’s clean or not, the worst it can do is cause diarrhea.

However, after taking a few sips, she discovered that the water seemed to have no effect on quenching her thirst. It even disappeared from her stomach after drinking it.

It was as if he had never drank those few sips of water.

"If you want to drink water..." Oak hooked his hand, and a bunch of things were transferred from another page of the book.

They were several transparent buckets that were two to three meters long and wide, and inside were water that looked very sweet.

"Can...can you drink this?" Bain ran over completely regardless of his image.

"You won't know until you try."

Bain got Ork's permission, pulled open the huge bucket lid with one hand, and scooped up a handful of water with both hands.

"Grumble rumble..."

For a moment, Bain felt like he had been reborn.

"Ping Teng! Come here quickly, there is water to drink!" Bain immediately thought of her husband.

And her words were naturally heard by other pirates.

Many pirates gave up taking a bath, and a group of people rushed towards Oak like big buffaloes.

Many of them were already a little thirsty, but there was nothing they could do. No one knew how long they would have to drift in the sea or when they would arrive at the next town, so they would not touch those precious things until they couldn't stop coughing. of fresh water.

Now, there is water to drink, so they will not miss it.

"awesome!"

"This is heaven!"

After taking a few sips of water, many pirates closed their eyes with satisfaction, savoring the sweetness of the water.

"Long live the captain!"

A shout came from the swimming pool.

Luo, who was taking off his shirt, subconsciously turned his head to look.

But they discovered that...the crew member was looking in the direction of Ork.

This "Captain" is not calling him.

“…”

Luo couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He stripped down to his boxer briefs, then held his hand on the pool and carefully sank into the pool.

Although he can swim, he has not done so in many years.

"what..."

Luo slowly closed his eyes.

The coldness of the water made his mind empty instantly.

It was so comfortable that he couldn't help but moan.

"If I could take a bath as comfortably as I do now every day..."

On the other side, after doing all this, Oak exited the world in the book.

Something is approaching outside.

"Morgans..."

Oke looked at the newspaper pigeons all over the sky with a cold look in his eyes.

Of course, although he "misses" Morgans very much, he won't take it out on these pigeons.

"Pfft..."

A dozen newspaper pigeons flapped their wings, separated from the large group, and stayed briefly above the Polar Diver. Then, a dozen newspapers fell from the sky.

Afterwards, the newspaper pigeon did not come down to ask for money, but directly accelerated to keep up with the large troop.

Different from the usual ones, this is a free newspaper.

This means that this newspaper contains absolutely big news.

Oak casually took one.

As soon as I opened it, the characters on the cover came into view. Four people took up half of the newspaper.

Whitebeard ranked first, Charlotte Oak ranked second, followed by Portcas D. Ace, and Luffy.

Just when Oke was about to read the content in detail, the yellowed paper tucked behind the newspaper caught Oke's attention.

"Is this...a new reward order?"
