After getting rid of the samurai, Arturia looked at Jeanne and said: "Okay, let's burn the corpse clean."

Joan of Arc replied dissatisfied: "Don't treat me like an incinerator!"

"Don't you like to burn things? This job is just right for you. It is both energy-saving and environmentally friendly."

Joan of Arc said with a dead smile: "... Your face is so pale. Could it be that you have died and turned into a corpse? They should be burned together."

"My face has always been like this, don't you know? Or is it that the level of fighting just now caused your brain to be irreparably damaged and turned you into a fool?"

"That's enough." Joan of Arc, who was not sharp-tongued, broke through, her eyes filled with anger, and said: "The landform here is suitable for your grave. Is it very similar to the hill of Kamlan where you died in the battle before?

"

"...You have the guts." Arturia half-closed her eyes after being stabbed in pain.

Joan of Arc drew her sword: "It's time for you to distinguish between superiors and subordinates!"

"That's right." Artoria faced her sword.

"Erik-san." Kurumi, tied into a long and short ponytail and wearing a red and black spiritual outfit, walked out of the shadows.

Eric, who was working at his desk, was stunned and asked casually: "Huh? What's the matter?"

"The remnants of the Kozuki clan have been eliminated."

Eric didn't trust the two of them, so he appointed several crazy clones to monitor the ruins of Oden Castle to prevent the remnants of the Kozuki clan from escaping.

"...Ha, I know." Eric sighed. In this way, the prophecy that had been circulating before would be self-defeating. In two or three years, no one would think of the surname Guangyue.

"One more thing." Kuang San said with a smile, "It seems that they are about to fight again."

"Again?!" Eric pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache.

The two of them usually get along with each other: chatting normally, then quarreling for some unknown reason, and finally turning into a fight.

However, compared to when they first met, the two would choose to fight in a deserted place, and their strengths were very similar, and they would not be able to tell the winner for a while.

"Knock!" Eric shook his slightly stiff neck from side to side and said, "That's right, I also want to move."

There was a flash of lightning, and Eric, who was sitting behind the desk, disappeared.

The ruins of Oden Castle were reduced to ashes during the battle between the two, and the rainbow light turned into magical energy was flying wildly. The flames seemed to ignite the air, causing the temperature in the entire area to rise by more than ten degrees.

"Hey, have you two had enough fighting?"

"Keep fighting and the entire area will be destroyed by you two."

The two people fighting suddenly stopped and turned to look at Eric.

"Eric, you came just in time." Artoria said first, "Just stay there and be a witness. I will make this woman so convinced that she loses that she will never be able to hold her head up again."

"Just you?" Joan of Arc sneered at this and sneered: "I don't know which country's self-proclaimed warrior of hundreds of battles was completely defeated by an army led by an illiterate woman?"

"..."

"That's enough." Eric held his head against a headache and said, "If you want to exercise so much, I'll play with you two."

Artoria glanced at Eric in surprise.

"Ah?" Jeanne squinted at Eric and said, "Master, do you really think you are invincible? You want to deal with me and the zombie girl alone?"

"Don't forget, you strengthened me and this woman!"

Eric said sincerely: "Even if you are strengthened, you two are still much weaker than me."

"I can't pretend I didn't hear this."

"...I really dare to say it."

Eric almost instantly drew the hatred between the two onto himself.

Artoria and Jeanne looked at each other and rushed towards Eric at the same time.

"..."

Ten minutes later, Arturia and Joan of Arc were dragged back by Eric, their bodies covered in smoke and black soot.

"It's all you." Arturia squinted at Jeanne and said in a very dissatisfied tone: "The Sword of Victory that I released with all my strength just now has exposed Eric's flaws, but you didn't take the opportunity to attack immediately."

"Ha?!" Jeanne's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief, and she immediately replied: "The Sword of Victory you released obviously almost got me involved, are you sure you don't want to get rid of me too?!"

"..."

Arturia looked away and said innocently: "It's your imagination."

"That's really what you planned!"

Artoria repeated: "It's your illusion."

"Eric, let me go!" Joan of Arc fluttered her limbs: "I want to duel with her!"

"Okay." Eric rubbed his forehead with a headache: "After we solve the world-threatening disaster in front of us, I will find a desert island for you and let you two live forever."

“It’s a deal!”

The rectangular table in the center of the conference room was already full of people, including Eric, Chi Tong, Kuang San and other core members, including Zhuge Kongming, Zhang Liang and other think tanks, as well as Vegapunk and Kuzan.

, Dolag and other members who joined from other forces.

Eric announced Vegapunk's "World Destruction" report at the beginning of the meeting.

"What? The world is about to be destroyed?" Many people were surprised.

"This is really incredible...Is this true?" Kuzan, who had always been lazy, turned serious, his eyes quickly scanning the documents in his hand.

"It's absolutely true." Da Vinci affirmed, and seeing everyone's eyes focused on her, she said: "Based on the data reported from various places, compared with the data recorded in the past, although the changes are very small, the sea level is indeed

It’s rising.”

Esdeath held her chin with one hand and asked puzzledly: "Why does the sea level rise when the total amount of sea water remains unchanged? Is the sea water increasing?"

"This is due to multiple factors."

"Global temperatures are rising, the Arctic and Antarctic glaciers are melting, the upper seawater is heating and expanding, and..." Da Vinci coughed and continued:

"The crust of an island or a certain area sank or lifted vertically due to fighting or other reasons..."

"..." Several of them lowered their heads unconsciously.

Joan of Arc spread her hands and said nonchalantly: "Wouldn't it be nice to let Esdeath and Kuzan cool down the world?"

"Do you want to enter the endless winter?" Eric glanced at Joan of Arc.

"It is not realistic to cool the world." Leonardo da Vinci shook his head, but still commented on this suggestion: "However, this can be an option to do together."

"Let's do it together?" Dorag heard the implication and asked: "Dr. Leonardo da Vinci, have you come up with a solution?"

"Of course!" Da Vinci said with his hands on his hips, "I am the omnipotent Da Vinci!"

Leonardo da Vinci pointed to the map: "The solution is right in front of you!"

"Dangdangdang..."

The construction site is busy and a large number of workers are busy working.

"This is the Holy Land MarieJoia..." Sanji looked at MarieJoia, which had long been reduced to ruins, and frowned: "Why did it become like this?"

"Who cares about this." Sauron waved the pickaxe, and the sharp top sank deeply into the ground, lifting up large pieces of gravel and soil.

"Cut." Sanji smacked his mouth, used a shovel to scoop up the gravel and soil that Zoro had dug up, and poured them into the cart next to him.

"You really like doing this..."

"Zoron is practicing his sword skills." Bartolomeo looked at Zoro holding the pickaxe in both hands and said, "It's exactly the same as the way he held the sword before."

"Huh?" Sanji became unhappy: "Now that it's been like this, you still want to exercise?"

"Sanji, be careful if you talk too much, you will be deducted points if you are seen by the guards." Franky, the prickly head next to the three of them, was also hard at work: "Don't let us all commute your sentences and you will still be in prison doing labor camps."

"I know!" Sanji responded impatiently, gritting his teeth as he looked at his calloused hands.

The sun was scorching, and several people were sweating profusely.

"Group 13, Group 14, Group 15!" the guard shouted from a distance: "It's your turn to eat!"

Hearing this, several people stopped what they were doing and walked towards the dining area.

"I don't know when it will end..." Franky sighed.

Several people sat around the table, and Nami, who was responsible for serving food to the prisoners, found an opportunity and sneaked over.

"Nami-chan..." Sanji's eyes lit up.

"Shh-" Nami immediately stretched out her hand to cover Sanji's mouth, lowered her figure, and came close to the others.

"Nami, what news did you find out?"

Nami shook her head. She was in charge of food and had the most contacts with people. Moreover, she was smart and pretty, so she was the best choice for inquiring about outside news.

"I don't know why we were sent to the Red Earth Continent to dig soil." Franky sighed and added, "I don't know where Luffy is..."

"..." Nami pondered for a few seconds and said: "Actually, I saw not only prisoners, but also many ordinary people recruited to work here."

"I saw it too." Sauron said, "But most ordinary people don't have contact with us."

"Strange, Eric...what exactly does China want to do?" Franky said in surprise: "Does it want to hollow out the entire Red Earth Continent?"

Several people were confused about this.

At this time, there was a commotion in a corner of the restaurant, and it seemed that someone had a conflict.

Sanji immediately frowned. Even though he was a prisoner and not a chef, he still regarded the restaurant as a place that should not be messed up.

"Quiet! Quiet!"

The guards responsible for ordering the scene immediately shouted warnings and rushed towards the direction of the conflict.

Many prisoners stayed in their original positions, fearing that the chaos would provoke them and cause unnecessary trouble.

Of course, the original Straw Hat Pirates did not belong to this group. Zoro, Sanji and others followed quietly.

As soon as they arrived at the scene of the conflict, their eyes widened.

One side of the conflict was a group of reform-through-labor prisoners wearing prison uniforms, and the other side was a group of construction workers wearing work clothes. One of them had an ordinary appearance, black hair, and a scar under his left eye. He and others were very familiar with him.

appearance--

"Luffy!"

Several people shouted out in surprise.

"Huh?" Several guards looked back and immediately said, "Go back to your seats immediately!"

But a few people turned a deaf ear and kept their eyes fixed on Luffy.

However, Luffy in front of him didn't react at all to the word "Luffy" and seemed to have completely forgotten them and his own name.

Seeing that they made no move, and that the guards did not violently drive them away, they began to understand the situation at the scene.

"What happened?"

Seeing the guard's head, the faces of the angry prisoners softened and they all started talking:

"We have been working all morning, and we have just sat down to prepare for dinner..."

"It turns out that this kid didn't have enough food on his own table, so he came over and robbed our table!"

“That’s not all, I ate at several tables!”

"If you don't eat lunch, how can you do the afternoon work?"

"..."

Zoro, Sanji and others' cheeks twitched.

The real thing is guaranteed to be fake!

The warden was speechless and looked at Luffy with doubtful eyes: "Is this true?"

"Woo?"

Luffy's mouth was full of food, he finally swallowed it, and then looked back with doubtful eyes.

"..." The warden looked at Luffy's round belly and swallowed the next words.

"There is no food at noon. In the afternoon..."

"Ahem." The warden cleared his throat and said, "Wait a moment, your food will be delivered as soon as it is ready."

"..."

Seeing the warden saying this, the prisoners didn't want to continue making trouble, so they all retreated obediently. Anyway, the boy's food did not cost his own money, so it would not be good for him to continue making trouble.

After the farce was over, Zoro and others approached Luffy.

"Luffy?"

The workers next to Luffy asked: "Who are you?"

Zoro didn't answer the question, pointed at Luffy and asked: "What's wrong with him?"

The worker looked at Sauron's clothes and recognized their identities, and immediately wanted to wave to call the guards.

"Wait a minute." Nami immediately held the worker's hand with both hands and asked pitifully: "Please, can you tell me?"

"Yes, yes..." Being stared at by Nami's deer-like pure and charming eyes, the worker's face turned red, and he stammered: "China State is recruiting a large number of workers, and the salary is very high. I successfully applied for a construction worker position.

…and then we became co-workers.”

"Luffy..." Sanji and the others looked at Luffy who was focused on eating with complicated eyes. Their appearance and eating behavior were exactly the same.

"Huh?" Luffy, who was still chewing, looked back at Sanji: "Luffy? Are you calling me?"

"Um……"

"You got the wrong person." Luffy replied with a bright smile: "My name is Taro."

"..." Several other people were silent.

In a position where no one is paying attention, Dorag, wearing a dark green coat, looks here from a distance.

"Luffy, what's wrong with you..." Chopper couldn't bear his temper and spoke first.

Zoro took a step forward, blocked Chopper, and then asked with a solemn expression: "Have you forgotten all your dreams...?"

"Dream?" Luffy showed a confused expression.

"You!" The warden finally noticed that Sauron and others were surrounding ordinary workers, and immediately ran over. Don't let anything happen under his eyes!

"You stay away from ordinary people!"

"...Let's go." Zoro was the first to turn around and leave.

"But..." Nami was still hesitant, not wanting to just give up the opportunity to contact Luffy.

"He is not Luffy, Luffy is dead." Zoro's heavy and clear words came from the front.

"..." After hearing this, several people were heartbroken and turned around to leave. Nami turned back three times with each step, thinking about the past, tears finally couldn't stop and burst out of her eyes.

"What's wrong with them?" The workers around Luffy were confused about the performance of the Straw Hats.

"Eh? Taylor, why are you crying?"

"Eh?" Luffy, who had lost his memory, reached out and touched it, and found that the back of his hand was a little wet, and tears flowed down unknowingly.

Luffy murmured: "I don't know either."

Everyone joked: "This food is not to your liking. It tastes so bad that it makes you cry?"

"No, but..." Luffy shook his head, as if to relieve the discomfort, and finally his expression returned to normal, and he started eating again.

"Huh..." Seeing Sauron and others leave and return to their positions, the guard let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, the prisoners now are more honest and no one dares to cause trouble. Then he secretly made up his mind:

'Due to tight time and manpower in recent days, the two groups of people are mixed together. I will report the situation truthfully today. In the future, the reform-through-labor prisoners and ordinary workers must be separated, and they cannot be allowed to be in the same area.'
