Simultaneous Transmigration: Why is it all One Piece world?

Needless to say, the other crew members all looked gloomy and miserable, as if they had taken poison.

"Sister Bangxi, this fish..." Yanliu asked cautiously.

"We're lucky to have anything to eat!" Chef Boncy said, hands on his hips, brandishing his spoon with an air of self-righteousness. "On a sea voyage, as long as we're full, what's there to be picky about!"

The crowd bowed their heads in silence and continued to be tortured.

Nock put down his chopsticks and said expressionlessly:

"From now on, leave the cooking on the ship to me."

Everyone looked up at the same time.

"Nock, you can cook?!" Deuce's eyes lit up.

"A little," Knok said honestly, "just enough to cook food."

"That's enough, that's enough!" Mikhail was so excited he almost cried. "As long as the food is cooked, that's enough!"

Boncy snorted in dissatisfaction, but no one paid her any attention.

Yamato leaned closer, her eyes sparkling.

"Nock, will you be cooking from now on?"

"Um."

"Great!" she grinned, revealing a row of perfect teeth. "Then I don't have to eat such awful food anymore!"

Boncy's face turned green.

As Ace watched this scene, the thought in his mind grew even stronger—

We definitely have to keep this guy on the ship!

He can fight, he can strategize, he can cook, and most importantly, he can tell stories!

Such an all-around talent is hard to find even with a lantern!

He moved closer to Knok and leaned in.

"Nock, where are you going next? We'll give you a ride."

Nock glanced at him.

What's wrong with this kid's eyes? They give off a feeling of tightness in his anus.

"Punk Hazard," he said.

Ace was taken aback.

"Punkhah... what?"

"Punk Hazard".

Ace scratched his head and looked at Scal.

Skar flipped through the map he carried with him and shook his head.

"Never heard of this island in the New World?"

Nock paused for a moment, then realized what was happening.

That's right. It's still two years before Luffy set sail. Punk Hazard was an important research base of the World Government, the kind that wasn't open to the public.

I've never heard of low-class pirates.

"Then let's find it first," he said.

"How do I find it?"

Nock thought for a moment.

"Perhaps we could try contacting Morgans? He's secretly known as the King of News, the president of the World Economic News Agency. That guy has an intelligence network all over the world, he definitely knows the location of Punk Hazard."

Ace nodded, then asked a crucial question.

Where is Morgans?

Nock: "..."

He thought again.

Yes, where is Morgans?

Then he thought of another place.

"Gulan Tezzolo".

"Where is that?"

"The world's largest entertainment city, a giant ship, controlled by the Golden Emperor Gild Tezzolo," Nock said. "That place is extravagant and decadent; money talks. If you can afford the price, you should be able to contact Morgans or directly buy information about Punk Hazard."

Ace continued to nod and asked more questions.

"Where is Nagulan Tezzolo?"

Nock: "..."

He took a deep breath.

"Go to Dressrosa."

Why?

"Because he and Doflamingo are partners," Nock said. "Doflamingo must have connections to Gran Tesoro. If he finds him, he can find the Golden City, or he may have a direct way to contact Morgans."

Ace pulled out a nautical chart, looked at it, and scratched his head.

"Dresrosa...we've already passed that."

He looked at Nok.

"Should we turn back?"

Nock nodded.

"Sure, sure," Ace grinned. "But, Noc—"

He moved a little closer.

"Look, we'll take you to where you need to go, and we'll help you find the person you're looking for. Along the way, wouldn't you like to consider...?"

"Not considering it."

"I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"No need to finish."

Ace was dejected.

But he quickly cheered up again.

It's alright, there's plenty of time!

Nock clicked his tongue at his persistent, thieving look.

Well, he has no interest in becoming the Pirate King, nor in power. He just wants to kill Kaido one day and then live a carefree life.

Getting on board with Ace was actually not bad.

While this kid isn't as clueless as Luffy, he doesn't seem very smart either.

Moreover, it seems dangerous to get on his ship...

He recalled Ace's reckless behavior of approaching Whitebeard in the original story.

Tsk.

Let's wait and see.

However, there's a problem if we go to Dressrosa.

The Don Quixote family is not to be trifled with.

Doflamingo, a Shichibukai, is a user of the String-String Fruit, though it's currently unknown whether he has awakened it. He also has a group of subordinates, and it's clear that he's not up to the task of dealing with them all by himself.

They didn't want to beg Ace to help them.

Then...

Noc looked at Ace and suddenly smiled.

"Ace, I have some news. Do you want to hear it?"

Ace was taken aback.

"What news?"

Nock said slowly.

"Sabo is still alive."

boom--

Flames instantly erupted from Ace's body!

"What?! Sabo?! You mean Sabo?! My brother Sabo?!"

He grabbed Nock's shoulder, his whole body practically burning up.

"Where is he?! Where is he?!"

Nock was so dizzy from being shaken that he raised his hand and pressed it against Nock's face.

"Calm down, calm down, if you keep burning it, you'll burn the ship."

Ace took a deep breath and suppressed the flames, but his eyes were still frighteningly bright.

"Say it!"

But Knok grinned wickedly, "Want to know? Go cook me a couple of dishes first."

Ace immediately deflated, feeling frustrated: he suddenly didn't want that awful guy Nok on board anymore!

Fortunately, Nock was just joking.

He then spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Sabo is alive and doing well." He will become the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army in four years, but Nok didn't say that. He only said that Sabo now has a high status in the Revolutionary Army.

Ace's eyes widened, his emotions fluctuating, and he wanted to ask again: Since Sabo is alive, why hasn't he contacted him and Luffy all these years? They're brothers!

"The Revolutionary Army..."

But Nock spoke first:

"But he has amnesia."

Ace's excitement faltered.

Amnesia?

"Yes, you know, he lost his memory because he was hit by a Celestial Dragon's cannon fire," Nock said. "So all these years, he hasn't contacted you, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't."

Ace remained silent for a long time.

His eyes were a little red, but the corners of his mouth slowly turned into a smile.

"It's good that you're alive...it's good that you're alive..."

Then he suddenly raised his head.

"Where is the revolutionary army? I'm going to find them!"

Nock thought for a moment.

"As for the Revolutionary Army, their headquarters seems to be located in Baltimore, hidden very well. But they also seem to have spies in Dressrosa. If we can find them, we should be able to contact their headquarters."

Ace was stunned.

Dressrosa?

Dressrosa again?

He looked at Nok, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Did you plan this all along?"

Nock shrugged innocently.

"It's a coincidence, purely a coincidence."

Ace stared at him for three seconds, then smiled.

"Alright! Dressrosa it is!"

He put one foot on the table and raised both hands.

"Men! Destiny changed! To Dressrosa!"

"oh--!"

The crew cheered in unison.

Yamato jumped around with her hands raised, completely unaware of what was happening.
