Shirou's clones number 30 million

"Didn't the Celestial Dragons come in today? They always had perfect attendance before. Could they have run into some trouble?"

"I don't know, maybe something happened that delayed him?" Slime Shirou said casually.

……

In the world of One Piece, within the Goa Kingdom.

Thanks to the new king's sweeping reforms, the non-deterministic waste disposal sites (commonly known as garbage mountains) were shut down, and no new garbage was brought in.

Those most affected by this are the people living in the garbage mountain.

"What did you say? No more garbage is being transported to the garbage mountain!"

"Yes, I heard that the new king has set up an environmental protection department to deal with all kinds of garbage in the city."

"Then... what will happen to this place?"

"Who knows? They'll probably be gradually phased out."

Watching the adults hurry past, Ace and Sabo exchanged a glance and fell silent.

For people living in garbage dumps, scavenging for treasure in newly delivered garbage is also a way to make money.

Thanks to this, the two of them saved up some money, planning to use it to go to sea when they grew up.

However, the removal of the garbage mountain also signifies the end of this lifestyle.

"Sabo, what's the new king up to? Why has he created a department to steal our money?"

"It's probably because it's profitable; those adults are all money-grubbing types."

As they were talking, the two suddenly noticed a group of ragged people walking out of the city gate.

"Dad, Mom?"

Sabo's sudden voice startled Ace, who couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong, Sabo?"

"It's nothing, let's go."

"Ah...oh, let's go."

Although he was curious as to why Sabo's expression suddenly changed so drastically, Ace didn't press him for an explanation since he wasn't willing to talk about it.

After walking a distance, Sabo couldn't help but turn back again to look at the group of ragged people.

"I'm sorry, Ace, actually, I have a father and a mother, and I wasn't born in Garbage Hill. I come from a noble family..."

"Then why did you come to the garbage dump?"

"Because my parents didn't like me. They preferred people who could protect their status and wealth, and I was completely superfluous in that family. I'm sorry, even though I have parents, I'm still all alone."

Ace was silent for a few seconds, then asked:

Why are you suddenly bringing this up?

“I just saw my dad and mom in that group of people dressed in rags. I don’t know what happened, but they may have lost the status and wealth they valued most.”

Are you going to go find them?

"No, Mom and Dad adopted a child, so I'm no longer a child of that family. I'm sorry, Ace, it feels so much better to say it out loud."

"I forgive you, but are you really not going to go find them?"

"They have their own lives. From now on, try to avoid them."

Despite this, the two were somewhat lost after losing their main source of income, such as scavenging garbage, and didn't know what to do next.

Soon, it was lunchtime, and the two, as usual, went into the city, intending to dine and dash.

However, the atmosphere in the city today is somewhat unusual and seems rather strange.

Specifically, the strangest thing is that there were guards patrolling most parts of the city today, so the two of them were much quieter than usual.

"Ace, I have a bad feeling. Should we go back and find Dadan?"

"No! Sabo, we're going to be great pirates, there's nothing to be afraid of, let's go to that shop."

Ace looked around, then resolutely walked into a restaurant, sat on the third floor, and ordered a large amount of food.

After a while, a waitress came over with a tray, glanced back at the direction of the stairs, and whispered a reminder:

"Kids, I have some impression of you. Today is a little different from usual. It would be best if you paid honestly."

"Hmph! Worried we can't afford it? Hurry up and serve the food, we have money."

"Yes Yes……"

Once the food was in place, the two immediately began to eat heartily.

Of course, they had no intention of paying.

At worst, they'll get beaten up; they won't have to pay for the trip overseas.

During this process, an adult male dressed as a waiter stood respectfully beside him.

Their manners and etiquette were impeccable, but their expressions and actions clearly indicated they were guarding against their escape.

Sabo and Ace exchanged glances while eating:

[The staff at this restaurant are so stupid! They guessed we might try to dine and dash, yet they still served us food.]

[That's not entirely true. A restaurant can't refuse customers; otherwise, word will get out and it will definitely affect the business.]

[With someone watching, how will we escape later?]

[Jump out the window! The third floor is nothing.]

[Okay, they definitely didn't expect that two kids would dare to jump out of the window and escape.]

Soon, the food on the table was completely eaten. The two looked at each other and rushed to the open window at the same time.

He leaped out suddenly and landed steadily on the ground.

"It's so delicious!"

"Haha... It feels so good to eat without paying."

Amidst the laughter, shouts from the shop assistants came from upstairs.

"Someone is dining and dashing! Catch them quickly!"

"Those two kids are eating without paying! Guards, come quick!"

The two turned around, made a face at the shop assistant upstairs, and then ran away.

However, after running only a few steps, a group of guards surrounded them.

Among the guards was a little girl with blue hair, about the same age as the two of them, holding a real knife and giving off a menacing aura.

"Stop! Stop right there!"

The sharp blade forced the two to stop.

Fortunately, the two were not entirely unprepared.

Ace and Sabo simultaneously pulled out iron pipes, watching the girl and the guards warily.

"Are you a guard too? How can someone so young be a guard? Is there no one left in this country?"

"Would you like to test the sharpness of my blade?"

Kuina smiled slightly and said to the guards on either side of her:

"Don't make a move, let me handle it."

Although it's been a long time since I've bullied the weak, these two guys are quite interesting, so I might as well make an exception this time.

I followed the Celestial Dragon to this country. Although I don't know what he did, it seems that this country is undergoing some changes.

Yesterday afternoon, I heard that many nobles in the city whose property has been confiscated are unwilling to leave and are causing trouble everywhere.

Therefore, Guina volunteered to patrol the streets.

Today is my first day of part-time work.

Although most nobles were incompetent and good-for-nothings, their guards were often quite formidable.

After their property was confiscated, most nobles lost the support of their guards, but some nobles still had their guards who remained loyal.

Those people are the source of the recent unrest in the city.

Ace and Sabo exchanged a glance, realizing simultaneously that this was an opportunity.

The next moment, the two men, wielding iron pipes, attacked simultaneously from both sides.

The target was just a young girl; if she got hit, she might burst into tears.

That would have been a convenient time to escape.

"Good timing!"

A flash of sword light swept across, and the iron pipes in Ace and Sabo's hands were simultaneously severed in two, leaving only the small piece they were holding in their palms.

So strong!

Before Ace could react, he found the blade pressed against Sabo's neck and instinctively raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Cuff them both!"

"it is good."

Two guards stepped forward, took out handcuffs, and cuffed the two men.

Kuina sheathed her sword and stood there, a smile appearing on her face:

"I won."

"Damn it! You monster, what are you planning to do to us?"

"You monster woman, let go of Sabo. If you're going to kill someone, just kill me."
