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

The age limit of under 16 means that the other person has likely only recently become a power user.

If all the remaining time is spent developing Devil Fruit abilities, then there simply won't be enough time to learn anything else.

Indeed, the flat-headed boy's physical skills were practically nonexistent, not to mention his lack of mastery of domineering aura.

It takes about ten years for them to grow.

Of course, according to common sense, Du Feld's choice to send the crew-cut boy to participate in this deadly battle was a sure thing to win.

The fact that it is elementalized alone makes it unsolvable, giving it a natural advantage.

Who would have thought that an 11-year-old kid from the North Sea could already use Armament Haki so skillfully, and could even easily use flying slashes.

Simply incredible!

What's even more puzzling is that the flat-headed boy's attacks using the Snow-Snow Fruit failed to take effect several times, which is really strange...

At this age, with such strength, even in the first half of the Grand Line, there are very few like him.

Perhaps only in a place like a new world teeming with monsters would such a thing exist.

So there's nothing we can do about it.

You played four 2s, but got crushed by a royal flush. What can you do?

The death of a promising Logia-type Devil Fruit user was still a painful blow to Du Feld.

But as I said before, he can afford to lose.

This is why he never intervened in the deathmatch or pleaded for the crew-cut boy's life.

Otherwise, if he had actually asked to save his life, Doflamingo might have agreed.

After all, a Logia-type Devil Fruit user is very valuable.

He had won the fight to the death, so he had no reason not to agree.

"May I borrow your handkerchief?"

Señor watched as Abel took his white handkerchief to wipe his hands, and it turned a disgusting color, causing his face to twitch several times.

In the end, all I could do was turn my head to the side, out of sight, out of mind.

However, he was also filled with emotion.

This kid's progress is too fast, it's even a bit hard for him to understand.

If the two of them were to fight each other in a real battle, he felt he would most likely lose.

Doflamingo and Du Feld didn't have to wait long; a few minutes later, the other two deadly battles also came to a conclusion.

First, Diamanti dragged the rooster-headed corpse backwards, a cold smile on his face, as he walked out of the forest.

Then, they saw Gladius, looking somewhat disheveled, returning alone from the abandoned prison, but the slovenly man was nowhere to be seen, which said it all.

Chapter 180 Unparalleled Talent, But a Terminal Illness

"It seems the result is already obvious, fufufufufu."

Doflamingo laughed wildly, extremely arrogant.

Although he didn't think he would lose from the beginning, he still felt very proud and extremely satisfied when his "family" won all three battles!

Du Feld scoffed, but didn't seem inclined to renege on the bet. "A bet is a bet, and the score from before is wiped clean. But this is a one-time exception; no one from your Don Quixote family is allowed to cause trouble at my place again."

"Of course, after all, I also have a share in your casino in Beihai. Who would complain about not having enough money!"

"If it weren't for those navy people causing trouble, I wouldn't be here in this place after traveling all this way."

Doflamingo was in a great mood, so he gave the other party a way out, promising that such a thing would not happen again.

"Hmph, that's for the best. I'll have someone send you that money, but of course, all the due formalities and interest will apply."

"In addition, I'm planning to invest another sum of money in you, interest-free, it just depends on whether you dare to take it."

Du Feld lit another cigar for himself and then handed another one to Doflamingo.

Doflamingo didn't accept it immediately. Instead, he looked at the other person seriously, his mind racing as he considered the other person's intentions, what he could gain from accepting this "kindness," and the price he would have to pay.

In a flash, he made his decision and took the cigar from the other person.

"Then... it's a pleasure to work together."

"Pleasant to work with."

"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The two, who were on the verge of war just a moment ago and had sent men to fight three deadly battles in a row, suddenly reached an agreement and were now smoking cigars and laughing together.

It can only be said that in their eyes, only strength and interests can determine the relationship between each other!

If the Donquixote Family had not demonstrated such potential and strength today, Du Feld would never have given up, much less have taken the initiative to invest in Doflamingo.

It can be said that Du Feld at this moment is very optimistic about the development of the Donquixote Family led by Doflamingo, and is preparing to make good connections, also in order to get a share of the pie after the other party rises.

As for whether he harbored any intention to annex it, only he himself knew.

As for Doflamingo, with these two huge sums of money from Du Feld, whether through loans or investments, he could immediately make the Donquixote Family's development take off!

This will save him at least three to five years.

This was a temptation he simply couldn't resist.

Although this may create a hidden danger for the family's future development, it will still be necessary to divide up a portion of the future profits.

But Doflamingo felt it was worth it.

Because his ambition is far greater than the other party imagined, much greater, much greater!!!

So the two guys hit it off immediately.

I immediately forgot all about the unpleasantness from before.

Dufeld even invited everyone to a party on his enormous Money Ship!

Doflamingo didn't refuse, and happily led his men there, where they then indulged in a wild celebration.

Du Feld was right when he said that his previous entourage was already quite ordinary.

The really good stuff is all on the ship; they're too lazy to unload it.

Of course, it's also possible that they felt the Don Quixote family at that time... was unworthy.

But things are different now. All sorts of delicious food and wine that I've never seen before in Beihai are piled up in the banquet hall.

Without being told what to do, Abel's eyes lit up and he plunged into the "ocean" of food, ready to teach this king of loan sharks a lesson!

The others weren't as rude as him; although they ate quickly, they were relatively more elegant.

“Abel…this kid has really impressed me. You said last time that he’s only 11 years old?”

Du Feld and Doflamingo, the two big shots, sat in other seats, sipping red wine and smoking cigars, not even glancing at the exquisite food in front of them.

Doflamingo didn't hide anything, "That's right. When I first took him in, I didn't expect Abel to be so talented. He learned everything: physical skills, swordsmanship, gunnery, tactical knowledge... He even mastered flying slashes and some other strange moves on his own."

"After he became an officer, I taught him the training methods for Observation Haki and Armament Haki. In about a week, he was able to use them freely."

"In some respects, Abel's talent is absolutely top-notch, comparable to those monsters in the New World."

Du Field had expected Abel to be very talented, but he hadn't imagined it would be this outrageous.

He had some doubts about whether there was any exaggeration involved, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt there was no need to.

And the facts were right in front of him; he couldn't help but believe them.

What puzzled him was that Doflamingo seemed to have said too much, without any intention of hiding anything. Wasn't he afraid that the kid would die before he could grow up?

Just like that bald boy who got lucky and ate the Snow Fruit.

Seemingly noticing the fleeting look of confusion on Du Feld's face, Doflamingo chuckled twice with his distinctive laugh before explaining Abel's background and his terminal illness.

Du Feld then realized that he had been tricked.

This guy was clearly using his curiosity on purpose to bring up this topic.

"It's a pity. I've heard of lead poisoning before, but I don't think I've ever heard of anyone who can cure it."

Du Feld immediately composed himself and began to drink.

He no longer cared about Abel.

There's no need to target or steal a genius who doesn't have much time left to live.

That's exactly what Doflamingo wanted to achieve.

Anyway, everything he said is true, and even if the other party sends someone to investigate, the final result will not be any different.

Therefore, considering the cooperation, regardless of what Du Feld was thinking, he probably wouldn't bother arguing with someone who was about to die.

Even if they covet the talent Abel has displayed, they certainly won't waste any more time and energy on it.

That was a really clever move.

However, at the same time, Doflamingo also felt a sense of urgency.

It would be such a pity if Abel's illness could not be cured.

"Devil Fruits... It seems we need to increase our investment. Luckily, we unexpectedly acquired a large sum of money this time, which should be enough."

Doflamingo's thoughts drifted far away.

Chapter 181 Jaya Island, Magic Valley Town

Originally, according to Du Feld, a seven-day, seven-night banquet would have been barely befitting his status.

However, the banquet only lasted for three days before many of the precious ingredients were exhausted.

The reason is that a certain genius suffering from a terminal illness has an insane appetite!
