The Super Dimension Pirates in One Piece.

Chapter 842 Forgetting
After getting rid of the samurai, Altria looked at Jeanne and said, "Okay, let's burn the bodies."

Jeanne responded in dissatisfaction: "Don't treat me like an incinerator!"

"Don't you like burning things? This job is perfect for you. It's energy-efficient and environmentally friendly."

Jeanne said with a fake smile: "...You look so pale, are you dead? Why don't we burn them together?"

"My expression has always been like this, don't you know that? Or has the battle just now caused irreparable damage to your brain, turning you into a fool?"

"That's enough." Jeanne, who was not very eloquent, broke down the defense, her eyes filled with anger, and said, "The terrain here is suitable for your grave. It is very similar to the Camlann Hill where you died in the battle before, right?"

"...You have courage." Artoria half-closed her eyes in pain after being poked.

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

"That's right." Artoria pointed her sword at him.

……

"Eric-san." Kuang San, wearing a red and black spiritual outfit and with two ponytails tied in one long and one short, walked out from the shadows.

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

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

Eric was not at ease with the two of them, so he also assigned several of Kuang San's clones to monitor the ruins of Oden Castle to prevent the remnants of the Kozuki clan from escaping.

"...Ha, I get it." Eric sighed. In this way, the prophecy that had been circulating before would be refuted. In two or three years, no one would remember the surname Kozuki.

"There's one more thing." Kuang San said with a smile, "It seems like they are about to fight again."

"Again?!" Eric pinched his nose in pain.

The way they usually get along is: chatting casually, then arguing for some reason, and finally fighting.

However, compared to when they first met, the two chose to fight in an uninhabited place. Their strength was very similar, and it would take a while to tell who would win.

"Click." Eric shook his slightly stiff neck left and right and said, "That's great. I want to move around, too."

In a flash, Eric, who was sitting behind his desk, disappeared.

The remains of Oden Castle were reduced to ashes during the battle between the two. Rainbow light transformed from magic power ran rampant, and the flames seemed to ignite the air, causing the temperature of the entire area to rise by more than ten degrees.

"Hey, have you two had enough fighting?"

"If you keep fighting, the entire area will be destroyed by the two of you."

The two men who were fighting suddenly stopped and turned to look at Eric.

"Eric, you've come at the right time." Altria said first, "Just stay there as a witness. I want this woman to admit defeat sincerely and never be able to raise her head again."

"Just you?" Joan of Arc sneered, "Who knows which country's self-proclaimed battle-hardened army was defeated by an army led by an illiterate woman?"

"..."

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

Altria looked at Eric in surprise.

"Ah?" Jeanne glared 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're strengthened, you two are still much weaker than me."

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

“…You’re so bold.”

Eric almost instantly drew the hatred of the two men to himself.

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

"..."

Ten minutes later, Artoria and Jeanne, covered in smoke and black ash, were dragged back by Eric.

"It's all your fault." Artoria glared at Jeanne, her tone very dissatisfied: "I just used my full strength to release the Sword of Promised Victory, which already exposed Eric's weakness, and you didn't take the opportunity to attack him immediately."

"Huh?!" Jeanne's eyes widened in disbelief, and she immediately retorted, "The Sword of Promised Victory you released almost dragged me in, are you sure you don't want to get rid of me too?!"

"..."

Altria looked away and said insincerely, "It's your illusion."

"You really planned to do so!"

Altria 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. "Once we solve this world-threatening disaster, I will find you a deserted island and let you two fight forever."

"A word is settled!"

……

The rectangular table in the center of the conference room was already full of people, including core members such as Eric, Akame, and Kurumi. They also included think tanks such as Zhuge Kongming and Zhang Liang, as well as members from other forces such as Vegapunk, Kuzan, and Dragon.

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

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

"This is incredible... Is this true?" Kuzan, who was always lazy, became serious and quickly scanned the documents in his hands with his eyes.

"It's absolutely true." Da Vinci confirmed. Seeing everyone's eyes focused on her, she said, "According to the data reported by various places, compared with the data recorded in the past, although the change is very small, the sea level is indeed rising."

Esdeath held her chin with one hand and asked in confusion: "Why is the sea level rising when the total amount of seawater remains unchanged? Is the seawater increasing?"

“This is caused by a number of factors.”

"Global temperatures are rising, the Arctic and Antarctic glaciers are melting, the upper ocean water is heating up and expanding, and..." Da Vinci coughed and continued:
"The crust of an island or a certain area sank or rose and fell vertically due to fighting or other reasons..."

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

Jeanne spread her hands and said nonchalantly, "Wouldn't it be better to let Esdeath and Kuzan cool down the world?"

"Do you want to enter the endless winter?" Eric glanced at Jeanne.

"It's not realistic to cool the world." Da Vinci shook his head, but still commented on the suggestion: "However, this can be an option to be carried out together."

"Together?" Dorag heard the hidden meaning and asked, "Dr. Da Vinci, have you figured out a solution?"

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

Leonardo pointed to the map and said, “The solution is right in front of us!”

……

"Dangdangdang..."

The construction site is busy with a large number of workers working hard.

"This is the holy land of Marijoa..." Sanji looked at Marijoa, which had long been reduced to ruins, and frowned, "How did it become like this?"

"Who cares?" Zoro swung the pickaxe, and the sharp top sank deeply into the ground, lifting up large pieces of rubble and soil.

"Tsk." Sanji smacked his lips and shoveled up the gravel and soil that Zoro had dug up with a shovel and poured it into the cart next to him.

"You really like doing this..."

"Zoro is practicing swordsmanship." Bartolomeo looked at Zoro holding the pickaxe with both hands and said, "It's exactly the same as before."

"Huh?" Sanji said angrily, "You still want to exercise after all this?"

"Sanji, be careful not to talk too much. If the guards see you, you'll lose points." Franky, the troublemaker next to the three of them, was also working hard: "Don't let us all be released on parole while you're still in prison."

"I know!" Sanji responded impatiently, looking at his calloused hands and gritting his teeth.

Under the scorching sun, 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. 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 covered Sanji's mouth with her hand, lowered her body, and moved closer to the few people.

"Nami, what news did you hear?"

Nami shook her head. As the person in charge of food, she had contact with the most people. Moreover, she was smart and pretty, making her the best choice to find out news from the outside world.

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

"..." Nami pondered for a few seconds and said, "In fact, I saw not only prisoners, but also a lot of ordinary people were recruited to work here."

"I saw it too," Zoro said, "but most ordinary people don't come into contact with us."

"Strange, Eric... What exactly does Shenzhou want to do?" Franky asked in surprise: "Do they want to hollow out the entire Red Earth Continent?"

Several people were puzzled by this.

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

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

"Quiet! Quiet!"

The guards in charge of maintaining order at the scene immediately shouted warnings and rushed towards the direction of the conflict.

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

Of course, the original Straw Hat Pirates were not among them. 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 prisoners in prison uniforms, and the other side was a group of construction workers in work clothes. One of them had an ordinary appearance, black hair, a scar under his left eye, and a face that was very familiar to them.

"Luffy!"

Several people shouted in surprise.

"Huh?" Several guards turned around and immediately drove them away, "Go back to your seats immediately!"

But the few of them turned a deaf ear and kept their eyes fixed on Luffy.

However, the Luffy in front of him did not react to the word "Luffy" at all, as if he had completely forgotten them and his own name.

Seeing that they did not move unusually and the guards did not drive them away violently, they began to understand the situation at the scene.

"What happened?"

Seeing the head of the guards, the angry prisoners calmed down and started talking at once:
"We worked all morning and just sat down to eat..."

"It turned out that this kid was not satisfied with eating the food at his own table, and actually ran over to grab the food at our table!"

"That's not all, they even ate up several tables!"

"How can I do my afternoon work if I don't eat lunch?"

"..."

The cheeks of Zoro, Sanji and others were twitching.

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

"Woo?"

Luffy had a mouth full of food and finally swallowed it down before looking back with a questioning look.

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

"There is no lunch at noon, and in the afternoon..."

"Ahem," the warden cleared his throat and said, "Wait a moment, your food will be delivered immediately once it's ready."

"..."

After hearing what the warden said, the prisoners decided not to continue making trouble and retreated obediently. After all, the boy didn't spend their own money on his meals and it would not be good for them to continue making trouble.

Once the farce was over, Zoro and the others came up to Luffy.

"Luffy?"

The worker next to Luffy asked, "Who are you?"

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

The worker looked at the clothes on Zoro, recognized their identities, and immediately wanted to wave for the guards.

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

"Yes, yes..." Being stared at by Nami's innocent and lovely eyes, the worker's face turned red. He stammered, "Shenzhou is recruiting a large number of workers with high salaries. I successfully applied for the position of construction worker... and then became a worker with her."

"Luffy..." Sanji and others looked at Luffy with complicated eyes. He was concentrating on eating. His appearance and eating behavior were exactly the same.

"Hmm?" 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."

"..." The others were silent.

In an unnoticed position, Dorag, wearing a dark green coat, was looking at this side from afar.

"Luffy, what's wrong with you..." Chopper couldn't help but speak first.

Zoro took a step forward, blocking Chopper, and asked solemnly: "Have you forgotten your dream?"

"Dream?" Luffy looked confused.

"You!" The chief guard finally noticed that Sauron and others were surrounding the ordinary workers, and immediately ran over. Nothing could happen under his nose!
"Stay away from ordinary people!"

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

"But..." Nami was still a little hesitant and didn't want to give up the opportunity to contact Luffy just like that.

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

"..." Hearing this, several people were distraught and turned away. Nami looked back every few steps, thinking back to the past, and finally couldn't stop her tears from flowing out.

"What's wrong with them?" The workers around Luffy were puzzled by the behavior of the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Eh? Taro, why are you crying?"

"Eh?" Luffy, who had lost his memory, reached out and found 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 doesn't suit your taste. Is it so bad that it makes you cry?"

"No, but..." Luffy shook his head as if trying to ease his discomfort. Finally, his expression returned to normal and he started eating again.

"Huh..." Seeing Sauron and the others leave and return to their positions, the guard breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the prisoners were relatively honest now and no one dared to cause trouble. Then he secretly made up his mind:
"Due to the shortage of time and manpower in recent days, the two groups of people have been mixed together. I will report today's situation truthfully. In the future, the labor reform inmates and ordinary workers must be separated and cannot be in the same area."
