Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Upon hearing this, Koushirou said nothing, but he would inquire about the matter and find an acquaintance.

"Please wait a moment." Koushirou didn't try to hide anything and directly took out a Den Den Mushi to contact Ryu.

"Is something the matter, Koushirou..." Ryu's voice sounded tired. There were many things to handle every day, after all, there were many regulations that needed to be changed, and there were also many issues to deal with, such as the establishment of communication base stations...

"I'd like to ask about Katakuri." Koushirou's voice was neither deliberately lowered nor raised, and his tone was very calm.

"Katakuri..." Ryu thought for a moment upon hearing this. Based on his understanding of Koushirou, if there was nothing wrong, the other party wouldn't deliberately ask him anything; if there was...

This means he encountered something related.

"Don't worry, Katakuri is safe," Dragon said. If he weren't safe, how could he have left the New World and gone all the way to the East Blue?

"Thank you." Without disturbing Ryu's continued business, and since the current situation wasn't suitable for idle chatter, Koushirou hung up the phone and looked at Katakuri and the others again.

"...Welcome to Seymour Chiki Village. Please get along well with the villagers."

"I'll try my best," Katakuri replied. After all, he was a former pirate and belonged to a rare race, and the residents of the East Blue rarely saw rare races, so getting along with them...

There are some problems.

"I will tell them," Koushirou said, guessing what it was about, indicating that he would remind the villagers.

After the two reached an agreement, the three went to the village to find a place to build a house. The final location they chose was next to the Isshin Dojo, in an area close to the coast.

As for the materials for building the house, Koushirou said he would contact the material suppliers, and Katakuri and the others only needed to prepare the money.

Before the houses are built, Katakuri and the others will live in Isshin Dojo.

Having returned to work some time ago, Kuina has been greeted by a group of partners, or rather, sparring partners.

Even though they are very young, as Big Mom's children, they are still arranged to learn martial arts.

Kamijou Touma is also one of the many sparring partners.

The guidance provided during sparring sessions enabled Touma Kamijou to improve rapidly.

During this time, Fang Rui did not sit idle, but instead learned about the changes in the world of sailing. The areas ruled by Whitebeard did not change much, allowing the various islands to develop freely. The situation in the areas ruled by Shanks was similar, except for the Beast Kingdom.

Under Kaido's demands, the development of the entire kingdom became somewhat unbalanced, leaning more towards military force.

It looks like they're preparing for war, causing other forces to remain on guard.

"Kaido, what are you thinking about?"

The last few times I went to see Kaido, he seemed pretty normal, and things were going relatively well domestically as well...?

Upon careful reflection, the development of Kaido's territory has always focused on military force, lacking other technological aspects. A sudden shift would definitely cause problems.

It seems there really is a problem now.

With that in mind, Fang Rui stopped paying attention to the matter and instead focused on learning about the situation in the other familiar areas.

For example, the forest kingdom of Alabasta.

The transformation from a desert kingdom to a forest kingdom has placed the entire nation of Alabasta in a delicate state of mind—a mixture of surprise and...or perhaps caution, as they are afraid of damaging the plants...

Even though the plant has been around for several years, these people's attitudes haven't changed much; they're still somewhat cautious.

This scene caused some tourists visiting the Kingdom of Alabasta to have rather subtle expressions.

Chapter 602 Netero's Request

In just a few days, Kamijou Touma's progress was incredibly rapid, and with the nourishment of various sea monster meats, his physique improved quickly, showing signs of undergoing a second development.

Considering the height and physique of the characters in the nautical world, Fang Rui did not give Kamijou Touma a second chance to develop, and used all the energy from the sea monster meat to nourish his body, allowing his physique to steadily increase.

Before Hachiko arrived at Seymourne Village, the people responsible for capturing the sea monsters were brought by Katakuri.

As for Fang Rui, after seeing that Kamijou Touma's strength was steadily improving and that he had no problems living in Seymourne Village, he left the world of sailing and went to the world of hunters to deal with the airship issue.

Since it's something we agreed on, we should handle it as soon as possible, otherwise...

You'll forget!

Fang Rui has a good memory, but his attention is often drawn to random things, causing him to forget what he was supposed to do.

Beyond the bustling human cities lies a dark world inhabited by countless magical beasts; its darkness refers to the unexplored nature of this world.

Because the areas beyond the human world are full of dangers, and every time an item is brought back from an unknown area, a corresponding disaster will occur.

Therefore, traveling to the "Dark Continent" is forbidden.

Fang Rui landed relatively close to the "Dark Continent".

"I thought the portal was located at the Hunter Association headquarters."

Fang Rui blinked slightly. He had initially asked Netero to arrange the location of the portal, but then stopped following up. Now, seeing the location of the portal, he already had a guess...

Netero had designs on the "Dark Continent," but its dangers deterred him. Now, however, the existence of a portal has rekindled his interest.

The “Dark Continent” contains treasures, and all treasures are guarded by magical beasts or protected by other forces. Therefore, there is a saying that bringing an item back to the human world will inevitably bring back a disaster.

But now that there are portals, could Warcraft possibly reach another world?

Even if the monsters manage to reach another world, there's nothing to worry about, since it's near the portal...

It will inevitably attract a large number of people, including many powerful individuals, and each portal is equipped with corresponding protective facilities, so suppressing some people will not be a problem.

"Let me find out about the communication devices in the world today."

After organizing the storage space a while ago, Fang Rui's speed in finding things has improved a lot, and he found the phone in no time.

Find Netero's private number in your contacts and dial it...

"Wow... I didn't expect you to call me!"

Netero sounded slightly surprised; he was indeed quite surprised that Fang Rui had contacted him.

Nitero had heard rumors about Fang Rui, such as his frequent disappearances, claiming he was traveling, but he could never be contacted, which was tantamount to him disappearing.

And then suddenly appearing in another world, only to disappear again after a period of time...

"Enough with the small talk, I have something important to discuss with you," Fang Rui said, getting straight to the point. "I think you should know about the Navy's purchase of airships."

“Yes, I know, Beanman told me.” Netero’s tone became slightly more serious. “...Are you here to help the Navy with this?”

“Well, I have a deal with Sakazuki. In return, I will help him resolve this matter.”

Fang Rui responded simply, "Tell me the specifics of this transaction."

"The navy is buying so many items that it doesn't need to pay for everything at once, but the advance payment is already an astronomical figure..."

Upon hearing this, Fang Rui pressed his temples and said, "Tell me first, how much did the Navy actually buy?"

“Fifty…” Netero said, “that’s the initial demand!”

"Tsk!" Fang Rui clicked his tongue slightly. Should he say Sakazuki was moving too fast? Or was he just too confident...?

In any case, the Hunter Association has found a reason for refusing to lend money; it's a bottomless pit.

"You know..." Fang Rui thought of ways to make money, "If I bring back some things from the Dark Continent and sell them, can I earn advance payments?"

"Can the disaster be resolved?" Netero asked.

"Yes, nothing can follow in my footsteps to the human-inhabited world."

Fang Rui was full of confidence, confidence in his own abilities.

"In that case, feel free to bring back 'things' to sell. As for whether you can make money? Of course you can..."

"After all, who would hate a treasure?"

"By the way..." Netero's tone shifted as he brought up another matter, "Recently, someone discovered creatures from the Dark Continent within NGL."

"Hmm?" Fang Rui tilted his head upon hearing this, not finding it strange at all. He then said, "With so many people exploring the Dark Continent these days, it's quite normal for one or two magical beasts to come to the human world."

"No, they crossed the sea to the human world before the plan to explore the Dark Continent even began."

"In other words, it's not the disaster that accompanies the treasure, but the invaders."

Netero's eyes suddenly sharpened. "And they are very vicious intruders."

With the plan to explore the Dark Continent underway, the Hunter Association had already increased its surveillance of the border areas, which led to the discovery of the Chimera Ants crossing the sea.

But discovering something is one thing; catching it is another.

"You want my help?" Fang Rui asked back.

"No, I'm planning to hold an event to train new members of the Hunter Association."

Netero said this, in his opinion, now that they have begun to explore the Dark Continent, the hunters of the Hunter Association are a bit lacking in strength. Not to mention that they should all reach the level of the Twelve Zodiacs, but at least they should have a good grasp of the basics.

It's really... many hunters these days haven't even mastered the basics.

Oh no!

In short, Netero is not satisfied with the Hunter Association's current level.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

In response to Fang Rui's inquiry, Netero explained, "I'd like to ask you to help me invite a few people with Nen abilities to act as supervisors and rescuers during the event."

"Hmm?" Fang Rui tilted his head. "You should be able to contact powerful Nen users, so why do you need me to take action?"

“Hehehe…” Netero chuckled a few times, “Of course, you can find more suitable candidates.”

Compared to the people he knew, Netero believed he couldn't compare to Fang Rui, and Fang Rui seemed to possess some secret information, always able to find people who were unknown but very powerful.

"Okay, but you have to help me with the airship thing."

"No problem, I will send someone to negotiate with the airship company. Once you have raised enough money, you can go directly to the airship company to pay."

Netero answered quite readily, since he wasn't the one handling the matter anyway.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Rui began searching for a suitable candidate...

Fang Rui's first step was to head to Kukuroku Mountain. The Zoldyck family was a good choice; firstly, they were powerful, and secondly, they would do anything for money, so there wouldn't be any trouble...

He teleported directly to the Kukuroku Mountain. Fang Rui looked at the heavy iron gate, but instead of pushing it open, he went directly to the gatekeeper and asked him to notify the Zoldyck family's butler that he had a mission to entrust to the Zoldyck family.

"Hello, I am Wutong, the butler of the Zoldyck family. May I ask what you need, sir?"

"It's a commission from the Hunter Association, a long-term commission, lasting from one week to one month, and the reward is... 50 billion jenny, or equivalent items."

Fang Rui didn't have money, but he did have equivalent goods, and they were definitely worth more than his money.
