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

The second action is to grab the falling elephant trunk with both hands.

The third movement involves expanding all the muscles in the body, transmitting power from the feet to the whole body, and finally converging at one point, then forcefully swinging it outwards!

Just listen to the bang!

Despite being over five meters tall, Abel grabbed Elifant by the nose and slammed her heavily to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

The scene was absolutely stunning!

Unfortunately, the audience had all left.

No, Baby-5 is also standing in the distance cheering him on.

"How about it? It's not too late to surrender now. With your abilities, you can only make a name for yourself in the North Sea. The Grand Line is too deep for you to handle."

After being thrown around and feeling a bit dizzy, Elifant immediately went berserk upon hearing those words, as if she had been stimulated by something!

With a deafening moo, Elifant disappeared, replaced by a giant white elephant that was 8 meters tall at the shoulder and 15 meters long!

After being suppressed repeatedly, she finally transformed completely into her beast form.

"After escaping from that hellish place, I swore that anyone who saw me like this would die!"

The white giant elephant spoke in human language and was filled with murderous intent.

Abel then noticed that in such a short time, the wounds on the other person's body had stopped bleeding and were even showing signs of healing.

However, there is a particularly noticeable scar on his side, as if it cannot be erased.

The mark resembles a hoof print left by some animal, with a large circle in the center, three small triangles above, and one small triangle below...

This is the hoof of the Sky Soaring Dragon!

The identity mark branded on slaves by the Celestial Dragons!

That is indelible proof of being "inferior humans".

This mark can be concealed when Elifant maintains both human and beast forms.

However, once in beast form, this mark could no longer be hidden.

This is one of the reasons why she has been reluctant to transform into her beast form.

Now that someone has witnessed her humiliation, only one person can leave alive.

The giant white elephant began to charge wildly towards Abel, and just its running gave one the illusion that an earthquake had occurred.

Abel also became serious, drawing his sword again and preparing for battle.

He wouldn't show mercy just because of the other person's past experience, nor would he regard them as an 'inferior being' simply because of a brand.

He came here today only to complete a task.

That's it!

"Then let's enjoy a thrilling battle!"

Instead of retreating, Abel advanced and ran off in a frenzy.

When the blade and tusks collided, the giant elephant's rampage was forcibly stopped, but Abel was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

Upon landing, Abel immediately countered with a Shura Aurora Slash.

Because of its enormous size, the white elephant, unable to dodge, had no choice but to use its thick-skinned body to withstand the attack.

*Pfft!*

Blood splattered everywhere, leaving a deep wound on his body.

However, this is not fatal to the opponent's massive size!

Chapter 204 The Thief's Right Hand

The fierce battle lasted for a full twenty minutes!

The white elephant was already covered in wounds and its body was stained with its own blood.

In her beast form, Elefant's power is amplified to an extremely terrifying level, so much so that even Abel in his White Walker form cannot confront her head-on.

But it also meant that she became an easy target.

Although the white elephant's defenses were extremely strong, most of Abel's attacks were unable to cause any damage.

However, whether it's the Dark Breathing Second Form Dark Cut that can be unleashed from within the body, or the Asura Aurora Slash with its penetrating properties, both are enough to break through the opponent's defense!

However, the white giant elephant had no way to attack Abel, who was using Observation Haki the entire time.

Even Abel did not activate such a terrifying method as the 'Plague Aura'.

So the outcome was actually decided the moment Elliefent was injured.

"This will be the final blow."

Maintaining a distance of about twenty meters, Abel began to charge up his [Oni Maru] while holding it.

Elliefent felt a strong sense of crisis; reason told her to run!

In her current state, she simply cannot withstand the next blow.

But she abruptly stopped her retreating steps.

Faced with the imminent attack, she did not retreat, dodge, or run away.

Instead, it used all its strength to start running wildly!

As she ran toward Abel, she recalled many things.

The high spirits I had when I first arrived at the Grand Line...

Challenging Crocodile, only to be utterly and brutally slaughtered—a memory etched in my mind...

And the tragic suffering after becoming a slave of the Celestial Dragons...

When all these dead memories began to attack her at once, only one thought remained in her mind.

“I really can’t accept this!”

"Elephant fight!"

The white elephant roared in its heart, leaping high into the air with unstoppable momentum...

At that moment, Abel's sword also shone with a dazzling seven-colored light.

Asura Aurora Slash!

The flying slash, shaped like an 'X', collided with the white giant elephant that leaped high into the air.

Without a sound, a streak of light streaked across the sky and disappeared.

Then, with a loud bang!

The white elephant crashed heavily to the ground from the sky.

Despite her desperate attempt to break through the mere three to five meters in front of her, Elliefent was unable to do so.

"I should have died in that desert three years ago... Why did I have to endure all this suffering?"

With puzzled confusion, the white giant elephant closed its eyes and then quickly transformed back into human form.

With this, the Elephant Pirates became a thing of the past.

Abel, having reverted to his White Walker form, sheathed his sword and walked to Elphint's corpse, without much emotion to express.

After all, the world of pirates is all about killing each other; there's no order to speak of.

So at most he would just lament that the other person was unlucky and not very smart.

Another crucial point is that the opponent hasn't learned to use Haki; otherwise, the difficulty level would increase by at least two levels.

This matter should have ended here. All that was left was to report the results to Doflamingo and, at most, keep an eye on who was returning to the North Blue from the Grand Line recently.

But Abel had been pondering how to use the "Thief's Right Hand" these past few days, so he casually remarked, "It would be interesting if this thing could steal the power of Devil Fruits."

However, this is just talk, because the description above is very clear: you can only steal independently existing items.

For example, it's impossible to steal a living person's heart.

Because it doesn't exist as an independent object, it's part of a person, unless it's dug out...

The same applies to Devil Fruits. Once eaten, they become a part of that person's power. Even the somewhat overpowered Dark-Dark Fruit can only take over the Devil Fruit's power after the user dies...

Ok?

and many more? !

The ability to acquire a Devil Fruit after death?

When a user dies, the power of the Devil Fruit within their body will dissipate rapidly over a certain period of time, and then, after a while, it will transform back into a Devil Fruit somewhere in the world.

Does this mean that in the period immediately following the death of a Devil Fruit user, the Devil Fruit power was in a state of 'unclaimed' existence, existing within the user's body while simultaneously beginning to dissipate?

So if the Dark-Dark Fruit can do it, then the Thief's Right Hand might be able to as well!

Thinking of this, Abel immediately became somewhat restless.

If his guess comes true, he will obtain an Elephant Fruit of the Zoan type.

If it fails, it's equivalent to wasting an item worth 1000 trading points.

Bet or not?

Abel immediately made up his mind and took the gamble!

Because he wasn't after the value of the elephant-shaped fruit, but rather wanted to verify the effectiveness of the item.

This is important!

So he dared not waste any more time, and immediately took out the "Thief's Right Hand" and placed it on the corpse.

One of the less useful aspects of this item is that it only takes effect after it touches the target.

In the time it takes to breathe, Abel noticed that there seemed to be something extra in this dry, barren palm.

He immediately picked up "The Thief's Right Hand" and examined it closely, fearing it might contain some kind of gold or silver jewelry.
