Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Fang Rui didn't say anything more; if he said the second half of his sentence, Kuina would definitely be angry.

Even if it's true, bluntly saying that Skrugg and the others are mother-obsessed would still anger Aurora.

"Alright! I'll bring them to watch the game." Whether she was persuaded or had other ideas, Kuina agreed to Fang Rui's suggestion.

"Can I invite my friends to the event too?" Touma Kamijou raised his hand.

"No." The situation in the world of A Certain Magical Index is quite complicated, and Fang Rui has no intention of taking the others out of the world for the time being.

As for Touma Kamijou, he is a special case, so even if you take him away, there won't be any problems.

The other demon god has some personality issues, but his strength has significantly decreased after leaving the world of A Certain Magical Index, and he is willing to follow orders, so there shouldn't be any problems.

"Uh..." Kamijou Touma was speechless upon hearing Fang Rui's quick and decisive answer.

"Don't look at me like that. There are some troublesome guys in your world, and it would be a real problem if they got out."

Even with the constraints of a contract, that group of people can still cause a lot of trouble.

After all, demons and gods are masters of the rules. Even if their strength drops drastically when they leave their native world, their insights remain, and they can quickly find ways to improve their strength.

“Alright!” Kamijou Touma nodded slightly to show his understanding. Although he didn’t know as much as Fang Rui, he agreed with the idea that there were many troublesome guys in Academy City.

After all, he often encountered all sorts of troublesome things in Academy City.

Chapter 616 The Gathering of Participants

Naval Headquarters, the world of sailing.

In the Admiral's office, Monkey D. Dragon sat by the coffee table, looking at Sakazuki behind his desk.

"Who are you planning to send to Fang Rui's invitation?"

Sakazuki already had an answer to Dragon's question, replying within seconds, "First of all, Garp and the others must attend..."

Even though Garp and the others have retired, their combat strength has not decreased much. Especially after establishing contact with Fang Rui, Garp and the others have successively obtained some items that allow them to maintain their peak condition, or even go further.

Therefore, Garp and others are among the most capable fighters in the Navy today.

"Secondly, it's me and Kuzan. If Kaido and the others participate in the event, then we can free up time to attend the event organized by Fang Rui. If they don't participate..."

Before he finished speaking, Dragon understood Sakazuki's meaning, as his intentions were already quite clear.

"If there are no unforeseen circumstances, they will definitely participate."

After all, Kaido has become somewhat complacent these days. Having lost his original goal, Kaido's behavior has gradually become strange. At first, he was seriously building up the Beast Kingdom, but later he started acting recklessly...

Things have gotten a little better recently; we're rebuilding the kingdom.

As for Shanks and Newgate, nothing has changed; they remain the same, so they have free time.

"What kind of accident are you referring to?" Sakazuki's focus was elsewhere; he had a premonition that the accident the dragon was talking about had a high probability of happening.

"Of course I'm referring to those guys who got drunk and missed their time..."

Dragon's expression was helpless; perhaps it was because he had been a pirate for so long that holding banquets had become a habit for those people...

The result of frequently holding banquets is frequent hangovers.

“…You make a lot of sense.” Sakazuki was unable to refute it.

“So…” Long said seriously, “in order for us to participate in the event on time, we should send some people to remind those people.”

“I think what you said…” Sakas basically wanted to habitually refute those people as pirates, but just as the words were about to come out, he remembered that those people had reformed.

So, the words that were about to come out changed to another sentence: "...There is some truth to that, but what do you think would happen if I sent someone to remind them?"

"You should know that the relationship between the Navy and Kaido is terrible."

As for why the other two weren't mentioned, it's simply because they were relatively stable. If no one disturbed Newgate's daily life, he could continue living in his own territory and maintain the status quo...

Shanks is the same; even after acquiring territory, he continues his adventurous life, neither provoking others nor being provoked by anyone...

"Don't worry, I'll send a reliable person..."

Dragon already has a suitable candidate in mind. Among the people left behind by the former World Government, the CP9 members are the best. Although they have some problems, they can be corrected.

One of the CP9 members is named Bruno, whose ability is well-suited for sending messages, especially to dangerous individuals, since the Air Door allows him to remain hidden in mid-air and avoid being caught.

Even with Kaido's high level of Haki mastery, he couldn't break through the air door.

Just like how Hawkeye's Haki-enhanced slashes couldn't hit Bucky.

The abilities of Devil Fruits are quite outrageous...

Meanwhile, the people of the ninja world were also making preparations. The alliance established by the ninja villages was the strongest in the ninja world, so they were not worried about any problems. After all, the high-end military force of the ninja world was all in the ninja village alliance, and even if others wanted to cause trouble, they would not gain anything.

"Today's meeting will focus on who will participate in the activities and who will stay behind in the ninja village to handle miscellaneous matters."

Fang Rui has organized several events before, and everyone already knows that each of his events lasts for several days. If no one is assigned to handle affairs in the Ninja Village, the amount of work that would pile up to several meters high would be a result of his absence after a few days of rest...

You can feel the despair just by looking at it. Nobody wants to work overtime to deal with the backlog of tasks, so make sure to arrange for someone to handle the daily chores before you leave home.

"My suggestion is that all people in the first and second tiers participate in the activities, and those who handle the affairs should be found from the third tier and below."

The speaker was Uchiha Madara. He had a very direct personality and didn't worry about offending anyone. Besides, even if he did offend someone, he wouldn't be worried about it.

His strength is among the top in the first tier of the ninja world, making him one of the strongest. Even if someone gets angry, they don't dare to say anything.

"I agree with Madara Uchiha's opinion." Tobirama Senju rarely agreed with Madara Uchiha's suggestion. After all, dealing with daily chores annoyed him, and participating in activities was more interesting.

"It's just handling miscellaneous tasks; there's no need to leave too many people around," Minato Namikaze added, adding that he, known as "Little Sun," is considerate of other people's feelings.

"Let's leave the choice of who stays to luck!"

As Minato Namikaze spoke, he took out a stack of papers. "I will pick a few papers and write the words 'stay behind' on them. Whoever draws one will stay behind in the ninja village."

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha and the others' eyes suddenly sharpened. Madara Uchiha's previous suggestion had spared the first-ranked strongmen from the hardship of staying behind, but now Minato Namikaze's suggestion could bring them back.

'That's a really oppressive gaze...'

Minato Namikaze's expression remained unchanged, but he was inwardly complaining.

"Considering that Fang Rui's event is a contest of strength, the strongest people from each ninja village must participate. In other words, they are excluded."

Before the words had even faded, the oppressive gaze had already dissipated, and Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was a senior! It would be terrible if he held a grudge.

The others exchanged glances for a moment, but did not refute anything, after all, Minato Namikaze was telling the truth.

"In that case, let's start the draw quickly!"

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, said that his strength was not in the top tier, and even the second tier would be dangerous, placing him in the middle between the second and third tiers.

Therefore, he is one of those who need to be drawn by lot.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the drawing of lots began...

As for the forces in other worlds, they each have their own choices and have begun preparations.

Some of those who discussed it quickly have already concluded that they should go to the address provided by Fang Rui.

"Yes, from some angles, the scenery in this city is quite beautiful!"

"I wonder where the library is..." said Echidna, the Witch of Greed.

"Can't you... pay attention to something else?" Natsuki Subaru complained from the side. "Betty has been squatting in the library all this time. So she learned it from you."

“How can you say you learned from me? I just like reading, I don’t live in the library all the time,” Echidna retorted.

"Then dare you say that Betty's staying home all the time has nothing to do with you?"

Echidna was speechless; she truly couldn't refute that point.

"Stop talking nonsense and find out where the arena is first." Felt interrupted the two's "argument," her gaze sweeping across the city, searching for a building that looked like an arena.

“There is no arena in the city.” Reinhard had already surveyed part of the capital’s terrain and saw no area where an arena would be built, nor any arena buildings.

"Could it be outside the city?" Ferut raised an eyebrow slightly.

"That makes sense; gladiatorial arenas wouldn't be built near residential or commercial areas."

Reinhard said this, having seen gladiatorial arenas before, which were usually built in open areas far from residential areas.

"Should we find the arena first, or explore the city a bit?"

"There's still plenty of time before the match starts, so we can ask about the location of the arena while we're out shopping."

Reinhard offered his suggestion, and the others had no objections. The group then entered the shopping street.

The others arrived in the capital of Philkelon one after another. Since Fang Rui had not arranged for food and lodging, all they thought about on their first day in the capital was how to make money.

Some people choose the simpler method, such as exchanging gold for currency. The process is smooth, since gold is a valuable commodity in the Kingdom of Philkelon.

As for those who are a little poorer and don't have gold to exchange for currency, there are other ways, such as joining an adventurer's guild to take on quests or selling other items.

Besides, there are also options to return to the original world to retrieve some valuables, or to take camping gear and set up camp outside the city...

In short, the capital quickly became bustling with activity, and the sight of a bunch of strangely dressed people wandering around the city could not possibly go unnoticed.

The soldiers in the capital had been instructed to keep a close eye on people dressed in strange clothes. Many soldiers noticed the soldiers secretly following them, but they tacitly ignored them.

After all, this wasn't their first time traveling to another world, and they were already familiar with the reactions they would encounter, so they didn't pay much attention. In any case, the other party was very sensible and didn't keep watching them...

Meanwhile, Fang Rui saw some people already in the arena, which told him that the contestants had arrived in Philkelon's capital one after another.

Then, seeing some people camping near the arena, he tilted his head.

"I think I forgot to prepare accommodations for them..."

Thinking this way, Fang Rui had no intention of making amends. Judging from the way they set up camp, they must have already found a solution.

"Speaking of which, they... arrived quite quickly this time!"

Muttering to himself, Fang Rui looked at the completed arena. "Luckily, I'm efficient and I've already made preparations."

Afterwards, Fang Rui did not stay in the arena, but went to the commercial street to find a shop to buy some slips of paper to draw lots.

After all, it's just a regular arena battle mode, so there's no need for the opponent selection method to be fancy; just be ordinary.

Since there is no list of participants, Fang Rui has not yet started making the "lottery slips." He has only placed the lottery slips and a registration booklet at the entrance of the arena.

And a signboard telling those preparing to participate in the competition what to do.

You can handle the registration and everything yourself...

I'm sure you've participated in so many events and have a lot of experience.
