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

If you can't penetrate this membrane, you can't attack the heart inside.

If we were to use a metaphor, it would be like a zombie wearing a steel helmet that doesn't prevent it from biting people.

It’s so outrageous!

If Abel were in the modern world right now, he wouldn't be worried about the weapon's power at all; after all, what's so special about penetrating steel?

If you really push them too far, hundreds of 'little boys' will hold hands and dance together, and they'll even scatter the ashes of the earth.

But in the world of One Piece, the technology tree has long since gone completely astray.

The power of firearms also varies greatly, depending on who is using them, making them incredibly unpredictable.

So Abel immediately contacted Vinsmoke Judge, who had already gone to the East China Sea, quickly explained his request, and asked the other party to produce scientific research results as soon as possible.

Although it's somewhat demanding, it's not as difficult as one might imagine.

The simplest and most direct method is to forcibly increase lethality at the cost of reducing range.

As long as you don't shoot directly at the Kabane's chest, isn't it considered a ranged weapon?

Does it matter to you whether I'm ten meters away or one meter away?

Of course, Vinsmoke Judge is quite far away and may not be able to bring the results over within 7 days.

So Abel made two preparations and also brought over some of the cannons that his family had smuggled.

This should be foolproof now.

……

Five days later, Roman Island.

“Abel, let’s go out and play. We can leave things here to the servants.”

Princess Eve, dressed in a beautiful dress, looked at the boy in front of her with hopeful eyes.

Before meeting him, she never believed that there could be such a handsome man in the world, and that he was almost impeccable in both speech and fighting skills.

Despite the fact that he was nominally a pirate and also a member of the Donquixote Family, she fell in love with him at first sight.

Since their last parting, she thought she would never see Abel again anytime soon.

Unexpectedly, happiness came so suddenly.

Abel looked helplessly at the beautiful princess beside him. He had to admit that an 18-year-old girl was the most beautiful and romantic age in her life.

But they really aren't from the same world.

"Didn't we already go there the day before yesterday and yesterday?"

"But I haven't yet..."

Bulu Bulu

Bulu Bulu

"Sorry, I have something urgent to attend to. Maybe next time."

Upon hearing the Den Den Mushi ring in his arms, Abel immediately hurried away, leaving Princess Eve looking somewhat disappointed.

"Hey, it's me."

"The batch of weapons that was rushed out has already entered the North Sea. To avoid being targeted, I only sent a snail-sized ship for transportation. Reiju is in charge of it, and it should arrive at your location in about a day."

"Well done, but be careful. Doflamingo has been sending people looking for you. If you get caught, I won't be able to handle it."

"If this really happens, we can abandon the rescue, but Reiju's body must be destroyed. Germa's technology cannot fall into the hands of outsiders."

"...Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Sorry, boss."

After ending the call, Abel felt a little more relaxed because of the good news.

Although I don't know how Judge managed to do it in such a short time, as the BOSS, all I need to see is the result.

If it weren't for the [Contract to Dominate Demons] guaranteeing the other party's loyalty, he really wouldn't dare to use such a cold-blooded subordinate as Judge.

Reiju is this guy's daughter, after all. It's really distasteful that she could say such cruel things.

However, there's no way around it. The "Contract to Dominate Demons" only guarantees loyalty, ensuring that the dominated party is absolutely obedient, but it doesn't change their personality or behavior under normal circumstances.

So the only one to blame is Judge, who is inherently a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

Besides Judge, Doflamingo also contacted him two days ago to ask what he was doing.

After all, Doflamingo couldn't possibly be unaware that his family had mobilized so many resources, but since he couldn't find anyone, he had no choice but to use a Den Den Mushi to make contact.

Abel could only say that a mysterious buyer had approached him and wanted these things, which was a pre-prepared excuse that he managed to get away with.

This flawed excuse even led Doflamingo to believe that he was trying to gain some benefits from it.

If it were someone else, Doflamingo might have been able to say a few words of advice.

But when I think of Abel's terrible appetite and his previous 'greedy' nature...

He simply pretended not to know.

It’s not a big deal anyway.

If Abel asked him for money, would he really refuse?

Compared to the huge sum of money he received from Du Feld, how much could this small business possibly make?

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Doflamingo now feels even more at ease with Abel.

Chapter 208 Three Conditions for Saving Sanji

“Abel…sir, your request has been delivered.”

"Call me BOSS or boss."

"Yes... Boss."

Reiju looked at the boy who had imprisoned her last time with a complicated expression.

I never imagined it would end like this.

To this day, she still can't understand what kind of agreement her father, Judge, reached with the other party in exchange for the chance to escape.

"Perhaps it's because they don't think much of Germa..."

Reiju was startled by this sudden thought that popped into her head.

Because anyone who dares to covet Germa will get nothing, her proud and arrogant father would rather destroy Germa himself than let it fall into the hands of outsiders.

The snail-shaped ship was discreetly moored next to an uninhabited island near Rome Island, and all the hastily produced munitions were being transported by Germa's clone soldiers.

This minimizes the risk.

Once it's over, the snail ship can leave without anyone noticing. Abel only needs to scan and upload the five hundred rifle-like weapons and ammunition to the trade items list; there's no need to transport them to Roman Island.

He just test-fired it, and the power is indeed enough to penetrate steel.

However, its effective range is only 5-10 meters. Beyond 10 meters, not only will the accuracy be very poor, but the power will also be greatly reduced.

It can only be described as a semi-finished firearm that was hastily produced.

Furthermore, this wasn't Judge's main area of ​​research, so Abel had nothing to complain about.

While the move was taking place, Abel casually asked, "Have your 'punk' brothers behaved themselves lately?"

Although she never quite understood what 'Shamate' meant, she figured it probably wasn't a compliment. Reiju didn't try to cover for those bastards and said directly, "After the last crushing defeat and the failed rescue operation, the three of them were indeed well-behaved for a while and were even locked up in the dungeon by Father."

"But they were released again not long after, and they've been undergoing intense training every day, shouting that they want to take revenge on... you, boss."

"Of course, every time they say such things, they get a severe beating from their father, so lately they only dare to say it in private."

Upon hearing this, Abel was not angry at all; instead, he found it quite amusing. "This kind of brat hasn't been disciplined enough. I guess he's just making trouble because he doesn't have any homework. I'll have to mention it to Judge when I have the chance. Educating children requires a holistic approach, and we can't neglect academic subjects and moral education!"

Reiju found it really hard to keep up with the other person's thought process. There were many terms she had never heard before, and she needed to chew on their meanings before she could understand them. Some she simply couldn't understand at all.

Despite this, she didn't ask any further questions.

Because she had always been familiar with the book "Position," she knew that one should do what is appropriate for their position and never overstep their bounds.

This is also her way of surviving within the Vinsmoke family.

"By the way, don't you have a younger brother named Sanji?"

"Yes……"

Abel suddenly remembered something he had forgotten to ask last time.

Reiju was initially surprised, but then she imagined that her father, Judge, had mentioned it by accident.

Why is it 'accidental'?

Because Judge has always regarded Sanji as a disgrace to the Vinsmoke family, a worthless failure, and has kept him locked in the dungeon as if he had no son.

Therefore, Judge never mentions Sanji's name on his own initiative, and he always looks disgusted whenever he hears it.

"Tell me about Sanji."

Although Reiju didn't know why the other party suddenly became interested in Sanji, she certainly didn't want to make Sanji's situation worse, so she told him about Sanji's tragic childhood.

Abel listened very carefully and found that the description matched the lecherous chef in his memory, such as his love for cooking since childhood and his fondness for beautiful women.

It seems that all four of Judge's sons are lecherous men who love beautiful women!

"You've gone into such detail, are you sympathizing with him? Do you want me to save him?" Abel suddenly looked into Reiju's eyes.

Reiju was momentarily flustered because her thoughts had been exposed, but she quickly calmed down and nodded, saying, "That's right, I do have that thought. Sanji isn't suited to stay in Germa. If this continues, he'll be eliminated by Father sooner or later."

"A good sister who cares about her younger brother, that's commendable. But the question is, why should I save someone who has no value to me?"

Reiju bit her lip. "I will swear allegiance to you."

"Heh, I already have your father Judge's loyalty, and the entire Germa, including you and your siblings, are at my disposal. Why would I need to do anything more?"

“My father has never known the meaning of ‘loyalty’. He could betray you at any time, but I won’t. I can keep an eye on his every move in Germa.”

What a loving father and filial daughter!
