Starting from the infinite kingdom of One Piece world

"Who is it!" Kirishima Touka quickly turned around and looked behind.

But what she saw was a side that shocked her. The person standing behind her was Lan You.

But what shocked her was not Lan You, but a dozen sealed ghouls hanging on strings next to Lan You. Some of them were S-level and SS-level ghouls who often went to coffee shops.

"Who are you?" Kirishima Touka became alert after reacting.

"You obviously have a human smell on your body, but you can use string-type weapons. Are you a ghoul investigator? So you sat in the coffee shop for so long just to investigate the ghouls there?"

Behind Kirishima Touka, Yuhe moved forward slightly, preparing to attack.

"The Ghoul Countermeasure Bureau doesn't have that kind of ability yet, so they asked me to be their thug, so you don't have to be so nervous." Lan You smiled.

"I went to your coffee shop mainly because I wanted to know some things, but the protagonist is not here. I don't understand some aspects just by watching and listening, so I can only reveal them directly now."

At this point, Lan You showed a sudden expression: "No, it was a mistake. If it seemed to be revealed directly, it should be in the coffee shop."

"After all, you can't make the decision. The real decision-maker is Fangcun Gongshan, the manager of the coffee shop, so I don't have to walk here."

"That's not right! If you don't come here, you won't have the chance to catch so many ghouls around here and go back to do research."

Kirishima Touka: “….”

So this is called not nervous?They were all captured and studied.

"You're teasing me." Kirishima Touka swung Yu He directly and hit Lan You with a feather thorn.

"You're wrong. I didn't mean to tease you. What I want to catch are these unsaved ghouls."

"Not you ghouls who are related to the protagonist and can be saved." In an instant, Lan You came behind Kirishima Touka.

"Soon!" Kirishima Touka was shocked and turned around quickly.

But as soon as she turned around, Lan You's finger was on her forehead.

"If I really wanted to cause trouble, your head would be gone right now." Lan You smiled.

"Go back and tell your store manager that I, Lan You, want to recruit you, and I can give you what you dream of."

Having said this, Lan You turned around and left, but after walking a few steps, he looked back at the confused Kirishima Touka and said, "By the way, just a reminder, the ghoul investigator is preparing to investigate the ghouls in this area. Take action."

"It probably won't take a few days to lock down the ghoul forces in the antique coffee shop."

"So you'd better give me an answer before you are eliminated. Otherwise, if you are eliminated, then I will need to find someone else."

After saying that, Lan You walked into the sudden whirlpool, but a card floated from his hand to Kirishima Touka's hand.

Don't think that Lan You stayed in the antique coffee shop all afternoon and simply looked at his phone. He used Xiaozhi's clone to search the world's Internet and learned about some trends of the Ghoul Countermeasure Bureau.

And through such a search, Lan You also knew where the plot was now, which was when the antique cafe was destroyed.

But to him, it doesn't matter what the plot is. Once the person is taken away, all the plot will be reduced to nothing.

"This..." Kirishima Touka opened her eyes wide. She didn't notice when the card came into her hand. After all, the way Lan You disappeared was really shocking.

No, it should be said that she has a confused expression. What is the situation now?After Lan You showed it off, he talked to her for a long time and then left.

She wanted to say to this, the coffee shop is not very far from here, wouldn't you go and tell the store manager yourself?Why should I tell you this?

And who is the protagonist you are talking about?Please make it clear, don't make people confused like this.

After a while, she came to her senses and headed back towards the coffee shop with the card in doubt.

....

This is the interior office inside the antique coffee shop.

"Does he want to recruit us?" Fangcun Gongshan squinted his eyes and looked at the contact information on the card.

"Isn't it fanciful that a human wants to recruit us? Doesn't he know what we ghouls eat? Can he tolerate us?" A staff member of the coffee shop, Ru Jianxuan, thought this was quite ridiculous.

The staff of the coffee shop Madoka Furuma shook her head: "He knows that we are ghouls, and he even knows about some of the actions of the ghoul investigators and them. How could he not know what the food of ghouls is?"

At this time, Kirishima Touka reminded: "What he said about recruiting is one thing, but don't forget that he also captured a dozen ghouls for research."

"Isn't this an obvious indication that he is a human force against ghouls? Then will his recruitment indirectly use us as research subjects?"

Ru Jianxuan nodded: "You are right, it is indeed possible."

"Probably not. Don't forget that Dong Xiang didn't react at all to him. He really wants to use us for research. He can just arrest us. Do we need to recruit him?" Furuma Yuan'er said, spreading his hands.

"On the contrary, don't you think what he said is a bit contradictory? Here he said to capture ghouls for research, but here he said to recruit ghouls like us."

Fangcun Gongshan shook his head: "It's not a contradiction, didn't he say that? We recruit ghouls who can still be saved, and those who can't be saved are directly used for research."

"And what he said, the most interesting thing to consider is that he can give us something that we have always dreamed of. What could it be?"

"Maybe he is deceiving us and wants us to actively cooperate with him in doing something." Kirishima Touka said after thinking for a while.

"No one in this world can give us what ghouls dream about. After all, what we really want is peace. The deepest thing is to be like normal humans."

"But is this possible? We don't even know the origin of ghouls, and no one has succeeded in changing the condition of ghouls for so many years."

Madoka Furuma exhaled: "Indeed, but let's not talk about the recruitment he mentioned. Next, we have to face those ghoul investigators."

"After Dong Xiang came back, I asked the people below that there were indeed slightly more ghoul investigators entering District 20 recently than usual. If Lan You hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have noticed the problem."

Madoka Furuma showed the three people the message she had just received on her phone. The message showed that there were one or two more ghoul investigators in each direction in Area 20.

If you look at it from one direction, you won't notice anything. After all, ghoul investigators are dispatched in two or three.

But looking at the entire area, the number of ghoul investigators is increasing. Once this number gathers, it will be troublesome for antique cafes.

"It seems that Lan You is right. The Ghoul Countermeasures Bureau is going to take action, and it seems that it is also targeting us. After all, we are the largest force in Area 20."

Jian Xuan narrowed her eyes: "Then what should we do next? Should we accept the challenge? Or should we just withdraw?"

"Let's move away. It's okay if we don't know. If we know, then there's no need to confront those ghoul investigators." Fangcun Gongshan shook his head.

"After all, we only know their number on the surface, and we don't know how many people they have secretly joined. Once the number is several times greater, then we will confront them head-on, which is no different from striking an egg against a stone."

"In addition, even if we fight hard, the antique coffee shop will probably be exposed after the fight. We will have to evacuate after all."

Hearing this, Kirishima Touka said helplessly: "Hey! The deep feelings I had for this place for so many years are just gone."

"No one wants this." Gu Jian Yuan'er shook his head.

Having decided to evacuate, they also tried their best to gather their men in the past few days.

But one day when they thought they had found a good opportunity to escape from the ghoul investigators on the surface, they were directly targeted by other ghoul investigators in the dark.

It should be said that all the investigators, both overt and covert, were directly targeting all roads leaving Area 20.

Once groups of ghouls move, they will be directly noticed, and nearby ghoul investigators will be quickly notified to come for support.

"It's true." Madoka Furuma, wearing a mask and a cloak, led a group of ghouls to a road and was blocked by a large group of ghoul investigators.

He had already guessed that there would be ghoul investigators in the dark who could not be avoided, but the number was just a little too much.

"SS-level demon ghoul, I finally caught you." A certain ghoul investigator pointed his weapon at Madoka Furuma in the dark.

"What needs to be done is done. Now let's see if we can lead people out." A blood-red tail stretched out from Furuma Yuan'er's back.

Then the two sides started fighting directly.

In addition to the many ghoul investigators he encountered, Irimixuan also encountered a group of ghoul investigators.

In fact, both Madoka Furuma and Xuan Irimi were prepared to die. Their purpose was to block the ghoul investigators who attracted most of them.

The purpose was to buy time for Kirishima Touka, because she left with some old, weak, sick and disabled ghouls.
