One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

It turns out that Doug, the apparent boss of the casino, reported everything that happened that day to the behind-the-scenes BOSS, the infamous loan shark king in the underworld, Du Feld. Doflamingo quickly contacted him as well.

After all, the Donquixote Family's main 'business' relies on the underground black market, and they often have to deal with these kings of the underworld. Anyone with eyes can see Doflamingo's ambition, it's just that there hasn't been a conflict yet.

In addition, Beihai is too far away, so for now, everyone is at peace with each other.

Doflamingo didn't want to break ties with these people before he had fully established himself.

So after that incident, Doflamingo took the initiative to contact the king of loan sharks and offered to provide full compensation.

Logically speaking, since we've given enough face and compensation, this matter should naturally be over.

The problem is, this time the navy seems to have gone mad.

Instead of causing trouble for the Don Quixote family, the navy set their sights on the gambling city and shut it down without a word.

At first, they said they would close for a month, but after only a few days, it turned into an indefinite closure, with the intention of making it impossible for businesses from the gambling city to operate in Beihai.

Doug, who was being held hostage by the Navy, was also very confused. He immediately tried to use his connections and money to make some moves, and then learned some news that left him speechless.

This order was actually issued personally by Vice Admiral Tsuru, who said that there was no need for entertainment venues like this, which couldn't even guarantee the safety of the navy, to continue operating!

Once this original quote was circulated, one can imagine who the navy personnel, unable to cause trouble for the Donquixote Family, would vent their anger on.

After Doug couldn't resolve the issue, he had no choice but to contact the loan shark king again.

But Dufeld was helpless in this regard.

The king of loan sharks sounds impressive, but it's clear that something that can't be done in the light of day is something that can't be done in the light of day.

Perhaps under normal circumstances, he could try to cater to their preferences and win over some corrupt and toxic elements within the navy so that the casino could continue operating.

But when facing Lieutenant General Tsuru, Du Feld's face is nothing!

He had a hundred ways to do it, but he wouldn't dare use them in front of Lieutenant General Crane.

So, a somewhat annoyed Du Feld could only blame Doflamingo. If the Donquixote Family hadn't caused trouble on his turf and insisted on killing that naval captain, things wouldn't have turned out this way!

To be honest, that makes sense!

Alright then, Doflamingo, you wanted to compensate for the losses, so go ahead and pay.

If a casino closes for a day, it loses a day's worth of revenue.

If the business is closed for a month, it will lose a month's revenue.

Closing down for a year, haha... the entire Don Quixote family will have to work for him for free!

And this doesn't even include the profits from loan sharking.

Du Feld felt he had been 'merciful' enough, but how could Doflamingo possibly agree to such outrageous compensation terms?

Unless his brain got waterlogged, and it was aqua regia that burned his brain off!

In this situation, Du Feld proposed a solution.

Chapter 175 The Suit-Wearing Thug

With neither side wanting to escalate the conflict over this matter, Du Feld took the initiative to propose a solution.

Each side fielded three people for three deadly battles!

If Doflamingo wins, let's pretend this never happened.

But if we lose, we'll have to pay him a one-time compensation of 1 billion Berries!

Moreover, everyone knows the cause of this incident.

Therefore, Du Feld emphasized that the person who participated in the deathmatch must be the bastard who caused him to lose so much money!

Doflamingo initially refused, and after several rounds of haggling, the final terms became:

Each side fielded three people for three deadly battles.

The Donquixote Family will send their executive Abel to participate in one of the matches, but Du Feld's side is not allowed to send anyone over the age of 16 to fight.

The other two deathmatches are unrestricted.

It's a best-of-three series, but all games must be played.

If the Donquixote Family wins in the end, the matter will be settled, and Doflamingo will be lent a large sum of money at a reasonable interest rate.

If Du Feld is the final winner, then Flamenco will have to gather one billion Berries for him within a month.

The location is set on the exile island in the first half of the Grand Line.

Normally, you need a permanent pointer to that location to successfully reach it, but neither of the two experts seemed to care.

Doflamingo ultimately agreed not only because he was confident in the strength of his family's executives, but also because he was attracted by the promise made by the king of loan sharks.

Large loans with low interest rates!

With this money, he could easily plan the Grand Line, and even the New World!

He cleared many of the checkpoints and sea routes that were currently giving him a huge headache.

This allowed the Don Quixote family's fame to extend beyond the North Sea, ushering in a period of rapid development.

As for whether the last king of loan sharks will change his mind...

The possibility is very small.

Because that guy is so poor that all he has left is money.

Over the years, they have been spending money everywhere and investing in promising industries. For example, the batch of nutrient solution raw materials that were originally seized by Germa was ordered by a research institution invested in by Germa.

There are even rumors that this king of loan sharks once invested in Vegapunk's research team!

Although Vegapunk was later taken away by the World Government, no one is sure what amazing scientific research results he left behind for this king of loan sharks.

Therefore, Doflamingo felt that the other party would not abandon the reputation he had built up over the years for such a small amount of money.

Such a short-sighted person would never have gotten to where he is today.

Doflamingo explained in great detail and made no attempt to hide anything, as he did not want to create a rift with his 'family' because of this.

He also believed that, for the sake of the family, Abel would be able to make the right choice.

What were Abel's thoughts?

To be honest, I have no idea.

He had been slightly moved by Doflamingo's words during their Den Den Mushi conversation that day, but Doflamingo betrayed him the moment he turned around.

Do you know what a death match is?

That's called risking your life; whoever survives leaves.

Even if Doflamingo emphasizes that his opponents will only be under 16 years old, with his strength, there is definitely no problem.

But who knows what unexpected things might happen?

Abel certainly didn't think he was the only genius on the sea.

However, he did not show these emotions. Instead, he nodded calmly and said, "Don't worry, Captain Dover. This whole thing started because of me, and I will not back down."

"I'm glad you think that way. Once the family's influence expands along the Grand Line, there will be a greater chance of finding a suitable Devil Fruit to cure your and Law's illnesses."

Doflamingo brought up the old story again, and even specifically mentioned Law, demonstrating that his grasp of people's hearts had reached a level of unparalleled skill and mastery.

If it were any other young person, they'd probably be moved to tears by now.

……

Because Doflamingo didn't want the Navy to know his movements, he didn't travel on the flashy Flamingo when he set off, but instead boarded the relatively low-key Little Indigo pirate ship.

They claimed to be going to discuss a big business deal and that they would be back in about three to five days.

If Crane knew that he was leaving Beihai for a while and was meeting with the king of loan sharks, what would happen?

I estimate we'll have to contact the Navy Headquarters soon to see if we can wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Several days later, Doflamingo and his crew successfully traveled from the North Blue to the first half of the Grand Line, and then, relying on their permanent compass, sailed directly to their destination, the island of exile.

On the ship, besides the large number of crew members, the only executives who came with Doflamingo were Diamante, Gladius, Lao G, Señor Piqué, and... Abel.

With Torrepol and Pica guarding the house, it's very reassuring.

Of course, bringing more people is also to prevent the other party from having any improper ideas.

Abel really wanted to bring Baby-5 with him, but this mission was quite dangerous, and Doflamingo absolutely disagreed, so he had to give up.

Although he no longer had the bonus from the magic weapon, he wasn't too worried with [Onimaru] in hand.

If his opponents are indeed limited to those under 16, he feels that as long as he isn't particularly unlucky and doesn't encounter a pure monster like the "auntie" from his childhood, he should have a pretty good chance of winning.

After all, his strength is improving by leaps and bounds every day.

Just how strong he is now, even he himself doesn't know.

Perhaps this is a good opportunity to test it out.

"Actually, you don't have to participate. In matters like this, the young master never forces anyone."

Señor found Abel, first tossed him a cigarette, and then lit one for himself.

Abel didn't stand on ceremony and started puffing away on his cigarette with practiced ease.

“There’s no need. I can’t keep hiding behind anyone forever. Besides, I’m the one who caused this mess. There’s no reason for others to risk their lives for me while I stay in Beihai with a clear conscience, waiting for you to come back.”

Interestingly, the two people leaning against the side of the boat do bear some resemblance.

Both were dressed in black suits and wore sunglasses, exuding a classic "suit-wearing thug" style.

In addition, Abel has grown very tall during this period, already over 1.6 meters tall, and his muscle definition is very obvious, so he doesn't look so small anymore.

At first glance, they really do look like uncle and nephew.

Of course, if Señor is handsome in a way that exudes masculine charm, then Abel is purely handsome from every angle!

Therefore, Abel would not admit that there was anything similar between the two.

At most, they're just dressed somewhat similarly.

There's nothing we can do about it. With Abel's modern aesthetic sense, he still can't get into those weird One Piece-style art. In the end, he finds this 'ordinary attire' the most acceptable to him.
