One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 915 Cooperation
"Everyone, don't run away! We need cooperation!"

Looking at Luffy and the others who started running away as soon as they met, Ace and the others shouted loudly while chasing them madly from behind.

"rub--"

Luffy braked suddenly and the others were unable to dodge and immediately crashed into each other, forming a spectacular human pyramid on the central street of Happy Island.

"Luffy! Look what you've done!"

"Boom!"

Nami threw another punch and successfully sunk Luffy, who was buried at the bottom and had just poked his head out. However, soon, the law enforcement team from the Happy Island ran over, and the group looked at the upcoming fines and immediately quickly packed everything up, then took a shortcut and ran away, stopping only in front of a coffee shop.

"What the hell is going on, Ace?"

Seeing Ace who really had no intention of taking action, Luffy asked with a smile on his face. If not for the matter of capturing him, Luffy actually quite liked chatting and gossiping with Ace.

"Really? You are such an optimistic guy. Anyway, I will buy you some coffee and we can sit down and chat."

Ace pulled out a chair in the coffee shop and snapped his fingers to call the waiter. After everyone ordered a drink, they sat down. The seating arrangement at this moment became very interesting. Ace, Peacock, Luffy and Nami were at the same table. In fact, this was not a problem. Ace was the captain of the team, Peacock was the vice-captain, Luffy was the captain, and Nami was the real boss of the Straw Hat Pirates. On the other side, Usopp chatted with Hibari about his experience in sniping. The two even exchanged weapons and studied them carefully. Usopp was amazed at the precision of the navy's special sniper rifle, while Hibari was surprised that this seemingly ordinary slingshot could have such great power, especially those Usopp's homemade bullets were even more magical.

At the same table with Usopp and Hibari are Law and Chopper. Law looks like a tough guy, but in fact he likes furry things very much. Chopper, who joined the Straw Hat Pirates in the Sakura Kingdom, is not only cute and furry, but also proficient in medicine. The two of them, one is an internal medicine doctor and the other is a surgeon, and they get along very well.

However, the atmosphere at the last table was not right. Perhaps they were enemies from their previous life, and now Sanji and Zoro, who are not even in the same system, started arguing after just a few words. Fortunately, when they were about to fight, Reiju, the elder sister, and Kuina, the childhood sweetheart, attacked at the same time, forced the two to the ground, and then began to apologize to each other, counting all the crimes of their younger brother/childhood sweetheart, and even some embarrassing things in their childhood, causing the two who were still struggling violently to suddenly want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Okay, let's talk about this. We need cooperation this time, Luffy."

After taking a sip of coffee, Ace looked at the waiter who had left, used his Observation Haki to sense his surroundings, and spoke after confirming that no one was eavesdropping.

"Cooperation? Cooperation for what?"

Luffy couldn't drink coffee, so Ace directly ordered a glass of juice for him. Ace knew this guy's personality and habits very well.

"It's simple. You've been on the island for a day now. You should have noticed some things, right? For example, those people with collars and those places called re-employment recommendation centers."

Ace looked at Luffy picking his nose without any scruples and shook his head helplessly. After so many years, this guy still didn't know how to consider the occasion.

"We saw those places you mentioned, but we didn't go in. The four people wearing collars didn't really notice them."

Luffy thought about it and realized that he didn't seem to see anyone wearing a collar.

"It seems that those guys are hiding very deeply. But it doesn't matter. I will explain it to you. Luffy, do you remember what we talked about in class, the evil deeds that this world has committed against humans?"

"Evil deeds? You mean? Slave trading?"

Although Luffy is naive, he is not really stupid. He actually has a brain, but he just doesn't use it. However, when facing Ace, Luffy's brain, which had been suffocated by rubber, finally moved with difficulty. He remembered what he learned in the Naval Academy about the evil deeds of this world. This class did not exist originally because the navy at that time still obeyed the World Government, and the biggest evildoers were the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, so the Navy naturally would not teach these.

But now it's different. The Navy is only one step away from rebellion. It is in name only and not in name only with the World Government. Now the World Government is coaxing the Navy to at least hold on until the adult wakes up. So naturally, many things that couldn't be mentioned before were moved into the classroom, and those old officers were also brought back for further study. This has led to the new generation of Navy no longer having the respect they used to have when they mention Celestial Dragons. Instead, they look at them with contempt. Luffy happened to be in this class. After all, Luffy, who was about to sneak out to play, was caught by Ace and brought back by the head. "Slave trade!"

Although Luffy knew about this, the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates did not. They all fell silent for a moment and looked in the direction of Ace. Even Zoro, who had his head held down by Kuina, turned around with difficulty and spoke.

"That's right. Originally, the place where slave trade was most rampant was the Sabaody Archipelago. But due to the joint suppression of the Navy and the Four Emperors Pirate Group in the New World over the years, it has become devastated. However, those disgusting guys will not let go of this big cake. They naturally developed a new trading location, which is here, the Joy Island of the Grand Line. Those re-employment recommendation agencies you see are actually slave trading centers under the guise of selling dog meat. Of course, these places are just some small fish and shrimps. The real big fish are those top auction houses."

Ace didn't care about the surprise of the few people and continued speaking.

"In other words, you are going to cooperate and beat them together, right?"

Luffy also understood what Ace meant at this moment, and immediately began to get ready.

"That's right. We can't just sit back and do nothing about it. We can't act as navy officers here, so you can rest assured that I won't arrest you. But I want your help to destroy these man-eating dens."

Ace stretched out his right hand towards Luffy.

"I did it."

Luffy stretched out his right hand without hesitation and shook it back.

"But there is one more thing. When we came here, we saw the presence of the Celestial Dragons. You may not have noticed it, but the Celestial Dragons must have come here to trade slaves, so we must destroy those slave trading organizations without alerting the Celestial Dragons. After all, if this matter is related to the Celestial Dragons, it is very likely that it will not end well. After all, the current navy is still nominally a subordinate of the Celestial Dragons."

Luo walked over and said.

"The Celestial Dragons? Those fat pigs with bubble hair?"

Luffy scratched his head and said, he remembered those guys who had strange clothes and hairstyles in class.

"Yes, it's that group of guys. Although I hate them, at least for now, we can't touch them. So we have to discuss what to do about this matter."

Ace said.

"This is really troublesome. Wouldn't it be better to just knock them all away?"

Luffy was helpless about the plan, but he also knew that now was not the time for them to deal with the Celestial Dragons. After all, he knew that taking action against the Celestial Dragons would attract the admiral, and as the admiral's student, he knew the admiral's strength very well. Even if the admiral did not put in any effort, he would still be beaten up in the end.

While Ace, Luffy and others were discussing this, at the dock of Happy Island, Yamato and others were looking at the huge ship not far away with dead eyes.

"How come we can meet these bastards of the Celestial Dragons in this place?"

Yamato said helplessly, scratching his hair.
