Walking on the edge of the Sabaody Archipelago, Ace turned back to look at Fang Yu, who was following him.

"I haven't asked you yet, what's your name?"

"Yu".

Ace nodded. "I just heard them say your bounty is 300 million? How come it's so high?"

Pirate World Fang Yu found it strange. "Am I tall? Don't you have over 500 million?"

"Huh? Me?" Ace pointed to his freckled face. "I only have 130 million Beli, where did I get 500 million?"

"What pirate crew do you belong to?"

"Of course it's the Spade Pirates, which I founded! Is there a problem?"

Fang Yu nodded; his memory matched.

At this time, Ace had just become famous, had not yet fought Jinbe, and had not joined the Whitebeard Pirates, so his strength was still somewhat weak.

However, the strangest thing about the Pirate World is that after two or three battles, one's strength can be raised to a very high level, Saiyan.

For details, please refer to Nika Luffy.

Of course, Luffy isn't the most abnormal. There's an even more abnormal King of Deserters who can become invincible just by doing push-ups.

Pirate World Fang Yu followed Ace to the edge of Island No. 3, where he immediately spotted a skull and crossbones flag with spades as its background.

"Hey, this is my boat. Come on, get on first, I'll go get you the money."

Pirate World Fang Yu said very politely, "Yes, thank you for your trouble."

Ace jumped onto the ship first, while his crew had been waiting for him for a long time.

The crew was somewhat surprised to see yet another person jump onto the deck.

Spade's ship's doctor, Mascud Deuce, asked Ace, "And who is this?"

Ace laughed and replied, "Ah! This gentleman is here to rob me. I'll go get him the money."

"What? What!?" Sniper Mihar immediately pointed his gun at Fang Yu.

Meanwhile, the ship's doctor, Mascud Deuce, drew his sword, as if facing a formidable enemy!

"Haha!" Ace laughed. "That's just how my crew is. I knew they would do that."

"Captain!" Sniper Mihar's hand was on the trigger. "Should we fire?"

Ace shook his head. "Ah, I can't hit him."

"Damn it!" Sniper Mihar frowned. "Is he a master of Observation Haki?"

The ship's doctor, Mascud, gritted his teeth and said, "Captain! Even your Flame- Devil Fruit Ability can't do anything to this guy? Damn it, you probably can't do anything to him either, otherwise you wouldn't have run back. What are we going to do?!"

Ace scratched his head. "You've misunderstood this gentleman. He's just withdrawing some money; he means no harm."

"I need to withdraw some money."

Sniper Mihar was speechless and didn't know what to do. He could only watch helplessly as Ace took out the money box, grabbed a handful of money, stuffed it into a black bag, and threw it to the "robber".

Fang Yu weighed the bag in his hand and said, "Okay, let's go."

"Etc!"

As soon as Ace shouted, a powerful pressure enveloped him!

Ace stared at Fang Yu with shocked eyes. "I... I also wanted to say that if we meet on the high seas in the future, I would really like to have a spar with you."

Fang Yu withdrew his Conqueror's Haki. "I guess we won't meet. The place I'm going to is completely opposite to yours. Alright, goodbye!"

As Fang Yu left, sniper Mihar, ship's doctor Mascud, and the cook Boncy, who had not yet shown up and was incapable of combat, all breathed a sigh of relief.

"The ship, Captain!" Cook Boncy said, holding a large iron ladle. "How much is that guy's bounty? Judging from the way he walks, he seems pretty tough!"

Ace replied casually, "Three hundred million."

Three! Three hundred million!?

Bruce Yu stood in front of Jack's door, thought for a long time, and then knocked.

"Bang bang bang".

Gotham was not peaceful. After some movement in the room, Jack's wife stood in the doorway, looking at the neighbors outside through the peephole.

"Oh, it's Mr. Bruce. What can I do for you?"

"It's nothing, I just... I've been watching the news lately, and there are so many substandard electrical appliances that are very easy to catch fire. I have a lot of good quality appliances here, they belong to my neighbors. If they catch fire, it's bad for everyone, isn't it?"

Jane Queen, inside the door, felt a little confused, but still managed a forced smile, "I don't actually have many appliances at home, but I do have an electric heater."

"Wait a minute!" Bruce Yu said hurriedly, then ran home and ran out again. "Um... my electric heater is a bit old, and it's too late to buy one now. How about this, I'll bring you one tomorrow as a neighborly greeting gift, okay?"

Jane Queen replied, "That's too kind of you, sir. Is that really appropriate?"

"There's nothing wrong with it; isn't this for everyone's benefit?"

Jane Queen glanced at the heater in the corner, a hint of regret in her expression, but still replied, "Well, thank you in advance, Mr. Bruce!"

Bruce Yu breathed a sigh of relief after finishing this matter.

In Fang Yu's Chat Group, Pirate World Fang Yu reported, "I've figured out the approximate Timeline. Ace had only recently set sail and hadn't joined the Whitebeard Pirates yet. Based on this, recalling his earlier memories, it's likely that Enel's research on the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is already quite advanced."

Uchiha Yu: "It's difficult. Enel was killed by the plot. If we refer to Crocodile, who only had an 80 million bounty in the early stages, and then went to jail for a while before being released with a bounty of 1.965 billion Beli, then if Enel hadn't been killed by the plot, he would have had a bounty of at least over a billion Berries."

Stephen Fang shook his head. "We can't rely solely on the bounty and the anime's portrayal. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that Kishimoto doesn't understand science and doesn't know what two hundred million volts means, Deadman."

Pirate World Fang Yu: "Kishimoto really doesn't understand science; he's never even drawn a pirate."

Sitting on the sofa, Bruce Yu listened to the chattering of several of his own voices in his head, and suddenly felt as if he had four close friends. He fell asleep while listening.

At midnight, black smoke suddenly billowed from the apartment.

This is a phenomenon caused by an electrical appliance catching fire.

The firefighters arrived at the scene much too late after receiving the alarm.

As soon as they got out of the car, they hurriedly began to move the equipment. However, their movements were somewhat slow and sluggish. It took them a long time to finally connect the fire hoses and pipes and start spraying water to extinguish the fire.

Meanwhile, another group of firefighters quickly dispersed and went door-to-door to notify those who had not yet evacuated from the building to leave the apartment building immediately.

The crowd slowly descended the stairs, and along the way, neighbors cursed and swore at the family that had caused the fire for not paying attention to electrical safety.

Before long, the fire was finally extinguished thanks to the efforts of the firefighters, but the residents in the stairwell were in an uproar.

Many people were disheveled, their hair was messy, and their faces still showed signs of fear. At this moment, they all started cursing loudly.

"What happened?! In the middle of the night, I almost lost my life!" A middle-aged man, his face flushed and veins bulging on his neck, waved his hands angrily.

"That's right, the firefighters were so slow to arrive. If they had been any later, we would all have been burned to death here!" An older woman's eyes were red and her voice was trembling with tears; she was clearly terrified.

Some people were drinking water in large gulps, and many of them were woken up from their sleep by the thick smoke, which was a really unpleasant experience.

Fires caused by electrical appliances are often accompanied by pungent and toxic smoke.

With each swallow, it felt like my throat was being slashed by tiny knives, causing excruciating pain.

Just as everyone was talking amongst themselves, their anger and fear intertwined, a sudden exclamation came from the crowd.

The neighbors all turned their attention to the same direction!

A thin man, reeking of a nauseating stench, slowly walked towards them.

His signature green hair stood out starkly in the night, and his deathly pale skin was bloodless, as if he had just crawled out of hell.

His face was fierce and ferocious, and his eyes were filled with madness and coldness, which frightened the passers-by so much that they instinctively backed away, wanting to stay away from this strange man who exuded a dangerous aura.

At this moment, the Joker's steps seemed slow yet carried an eerie determination as he walked straight toward the apartment door.

At the main entrance, a burly Black firefighter stood guard. Upon seeing the Joker's appearance, he stepped forward without hesitation, extending his arm to block his path. His voice was loud and stern. "Sir, you cannot enter now. We need to complete a thorough inspection before you can go upstairs. This is for your safety and it's also a regulation. Please understand and cooperate."

The Joker man slowly raised his head, his extremely sinister face directly facing the firefighter.

The moment the firefighter made eye contact with him, he felt a sudden chill run from the soles of his feet to his head. Then, his eyes stung as if they were being pricked by thousands of tiny needles, so painful that he almost cried out.

At this moment, the noise from upstairs gradually subsided, and the firefighters thought that the matter upstairs must have been resolved, and the danger level should have been greatly reduced.

After hesitating for a moment, he stepped aside to make way for the Joker in the doorway.

The Joker went straight to the Sixth Level, stood at his own door, looked at the door that was charred and deformed by the fire, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.

He calmly took out his keys from his pocket, and like a mischievous child, playfully touched the doorknob lightly. Then he quickly withdrew his hand, shook it exaggeratedly, and muttered, "I almost burned my delicate little hands~" His tone was so sarcastic that it made people wonder if he had some kind of illness.

Immediately afterwards, he haphazardly wrapped his sleeves around his hands, creating a makeshift layer of protection, before carefully inserting the key into the lock and gently turning it. With a "creak," the door slowly opened.

A pungent smell of burning filled the air. The room was a mess; everything had been reduced to charcoal by the raging fire.

A glance around the room revealed it to be empty.

Upon seeing this, the Joker threw his head back and burst into a maniacal laugh, "Hahaha!"

He seemed to have witnessed the most ridiculous scene in the world, laughing and gesticulating wildly as he muttered to himself, pointing at the burnt-out electric heater on the ground and saying, "This idiot must have used a defective appliance and started the fire!"

"Oh, my dear Jane, where are you now?"

His eyes flashed with madness and distortion, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

The Joker's piercing laughter echoed throughout the room, but as he laughed, his voice gradually became hoarse and finally stopped abruptly.

The Batman Who Laughs on his face faded like the tide, replaced by endless emptiness and sorrow.

"Is it funny?" he muttered to himself, his voice as faint as a candle flickering in the wind. "Not funny at all."

Although the family was very poor, it was through his repeated efforts to make the children happy and his enduring all kinds of humiliation by playing the Joker that the family gradually filled up.

Now, all that's left is a room full of charcoal.

At that moment, the door to the room in the corridor behind him opened.

Jane walked out of the room with a look of frustration and lingering fear, went up behind the Joker, and gave him a hug.

"Jack, I'm so sorry. I accidentally burned the house down. Everything we have has to start over. I'll go back to being a dancer after I give birth, and I'll be able to rebuild the house very quickly."

The Joker smiled and turned around, "It's alright, darling, what's meant to be will be soon."

Using the flashing lights of the fire truck outside the window, Jane finally saw the changes in her husband's face and hair, as well as the sinister smile that appeared and disappeared at times. Startled, Jane took a step back and retreated to the door.

"Oh, darling, were you scared by my makeup? Hahaha~"

Jane's eyes were glazed over. "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing much~ I feel great right now~ Especially after having some wicked little thoughts in my mind, hehehe."

The Joker, grinning sinisterly, then noticed the person standing in the opposite doorway.

Jane felt her husband's gaze and explained, "Mr. Bruce saved my life and the children's lives."

The Joker grinned and said, "Of course, I certainly don't think you went to his room to do his craft, hehehe."

Jane pursed her lips and stroked the Joker's hair. "I don't know what you've been through tonight. Thankfully, thankfully we're all alive. But, could you please not say things like that?"

At that moment, Bruce Yu from across the hall spoke up, "I think Mr. Jack's way of speaking is quite interesting."

The Joker laughed, "Looks like our savior likes Bruce. I'll thank you for saving my wife, and for that, I'll give you a super super super super super house!"

Bruce Yu smiled and said, "Then I guess you're not trying to make money by selling balloons to amuse kids and then giving me a house, are you?"

The Joker smiled meaningfully, "Of course~ my dear neighbor."

On the Rooftop of this building, Batman gazed at the dark Gotham and shook his head helplessly.

He had witnessed everything that had just happened, and the thought of a thief who had just lost his home and been disfigured was quite tragic.

He decided to observe the guy named Jack for a few more days to see if he still had bad intentions.

If this guy doesn't break the law again, Batman is prepared to let him go.

Just as Batman was about to slip away, suddenly! His eyes twitched!

He instantly pulled out a Batarang and hurled it behind him!

With a loud "clang!", sparks flew as the Batarang, its sharp corner flattened, crashed to the concrete floor of the Rooftop with a "thud!"

Batman looked serious, while the person opposite him spread his hands.

"Mr. Bat, I mean you no harm. I've come to talk to you."

Bruce Yu raised his head, revealing his blood-red Sharingan: "It's about protecting the Earth."
