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

Abel did not believe that Judge possessed the quality of loyalty, but the problem was that the [Contract to Dominate Demons] would not give Judge any chance to betray him, a fact that Reiju was unaware of.

So Abel, quite pleased with himself, rejected Reiju under her watchful gaze.

"This offer doesn't appeal to me. Are there any others?"

Reiju shook her head, somewhat taken aback and bitter. Apart from herself, she had absolutely no bargaining chips to use in the transaction.

"You said that Sanji really likes cooking, right?"

“That’s right, Sanji is very talented in this area. My mother and I both praised it highly after we tried it.”

“Very good. I can have Judge expel Sanji from the Vinsmoke family completely, and then arrange for Sanji to learn cooking and become a chef.”

"Really, that's great!"

"Don't get too excited yet, there are conditions."

"I'll agree to anything I can do."

"No, it has nothing to do with you. These conditions are for your younger brother Sanji."

"What conditions?"

Reiju became cautious.

"My first condition is that I want him to know that it was I, Gustavus Abel, who gave him a new beginning and a completely new life. He must treat me as his benefactor for the rest of his life and never forget it."

"My second condition is that I can provide him with resources to learn cooking, but he must strive to become the world's best chef and never slack off."

"The third condition is that when I need to use him, no matter where he is, he must come to serve me unconditionally and I must never refuse."

Reiju's brows furrowed without her realizing it.

“Sanji would do the first two things even if you didn’t say anything. The third thing should be fine in principle, but I still need to ask for his opinion.”

"Whatever you say, I've already stated my conditions. I'll make the arrangements whenever he agrees."

Chapter 209 A Song of Ice and Fire

Doing good deeds without expecting anything in return?

Of course!

Everyone has their own way of doing things.

Some people do good deeds without expecting anything in return, but that doesn't give them the right to morally blackmail others into not demanding anything in return. These are two different things.

But Abel's style of doing things was that he wouldn't do anything without a profit!

He didn't come here to make friends; this is a mutually agreeable transaction.

If you agree, then agree; if you don't, then forget it!

It's that simple.

The reason Abel suddenly thought of Sanji was because he admired Sanji's talent in cooking.

There are only 8 [Yukihira Hotel Invitation Tickets] left, and they will all be used up sooner or later.

Even if he obtains precious ingredients in the future, he will still need to find a skilled chef to cook them.

Sanji can be considered one of the candidates.

He's taking precautions.

If you can use it, you've made a profit; if you can't, you haven't lost anything.

Aside from this, what else could he possibly use to treat things on the mountain?

After unloading the weapons, Reiju quickly led her people away on a snail boat.

After all, the snail boat is too conspicuous. If the Don Quixote family finds it, it will be a problem. Then, should Abel save him or not?

But we can't do without the snail boat, because only the snail boat can climb the Red Earth Continent and cross directly from the East China Sea; otherwise, there wouldn't be enough time.

After everyone left, Abel began scanning and transferring all the weapons into the order details.

He had used a similar method to move all the other supplies before, and they are all currently in the order book.

[Order confirmed... Delivery in progress]

[Intermediate prayer order completed, customer gave a four-star rating (a pleasant surprise)!]

[Comment: God, you have finally taken pity on your people! With these supplies and weapons, we can finally get through this harsh winter safely. But what will become of us if Juncheng doesn't arrive?]

[A four-star rating will grant an additional 50% bonus to base transaction points. The optional order details are complete; the bonus will be automatically issued. Please check your account.]

[Because the client was very satisfied, you received an extra reward—the Kaba Blood Burning Meditation Technique]

……

"Only a four-star rating? The reason it didn't reach five stars is... Juncheng?"

"That's right, this hidden condition hasn't been uncovered. Those supplies can only save them temporarily, but they can't solve the problem at its root. Before the supplies run out, and before Juncheng arrives, these people will probably still die."

"But the problem is, I don't have seven days to build an armored vehicle as big as the 'Juncheng'..."

"No, it doesn't actually need to be that big. As long as we can re-establish contact with other human outposts and find out why Juncheng lost contact, that will suffice."

Abel suddenly thought of the Sea Train, which was about to be completed and published in the newspaper.

If we can build trains that run on the sea, what's so difficult about building armored vehicles that run on land?

Maybe Judge can create it easily.

After all, the Germa Kingdom's split-combination construction technology, which is almost like a bug, is practically unique to the Scorpion Kingdom even on the sea.

I guess only Vegapunk would look down on something so 'childish'.

"Damn it, I miscalculated."

After the analysis, Abel felt somewhat annoyed.

However, he quickly calmed down. With this experience, he will be more careful to make connections next time.

Then he began to examine his haul.

[Cabanelli modified injection type X]

Disposable items

Description: A final improved drug formed by extracting a special substance from the Kabane body and fusing it with humans, eliminating all side effects.

……

[Kaba Blood-Burning Meditation Secret Technique]

Disposable items

Description: A secret spiritual cultivation method created by a brilliant individual through research on the ecology of the Kabane fusion population.

Effect: Burns one's own blood to enhance mental strength.

Note: This product is only for those who have received a modified version of cabanelil. Ordinary people will die from self-immolation.

……

After looking at the two items, Abel stroked his chin.

He wasn't interested in becoming a Kabaneri, but he wasn't opposed to using it as an enhancement drug, since all the side effects had been eliminated.

As for how effective it will ultimately be...

Even the smallest ant is still meat.

So he simply injected himself with the injection.

Then he felt his blood start to flow faster and his body temperature rise rapidly, as if he were about to burst into flames.

He knew that the medicine was starting to work.

Just when he had mentally prepared himself and was waiting for the subsequent 'symptoms' to appear, the effects of the medication came on quickly and went off just as fast.

It's over just like that?!

Abel touched his body, which had returned to normal temperature, and then felt the changes in his body, feeling somewhat speechless.

There have been some improvements in physical fitness.

It has some effect, but not much.

However, my total mental strength increased by about 30%, which was a pleasant surprise.

In addition, the heart has an extra layer of 'transparent protective membrane', which is as strong as steel.

Then Abel thought of a problem: how would he inject toxins into his heart in the future?

"If there's a chance later, let Judge work overtime again to make a special syringe."

Abel didn't take it seriously, after all, to upgrade the talent "Heart of the Others" again, he would need to inject 99 new deadly toxins.

There's plenty of time, so there's no need to rush.

Then he learned the so-called "Kaba Blood Burning Meditation Secret Technique".

Upon seeing that 'Kabane's fusion ecosystem', he almost forgot about it.

Another amazing thing about the Kabane is that a single Kabane can act as a core, gathering a swarm of Kabane into a giant object that continuously absorbs humans and other Kabane to grow.

Simply put, it's like Lego toys. Each Kabane is a basic module, and as the number of Kabane increases, the things that can be assembled become more and more diverse and larger.

If you have enough quantity, you can assemble a Gundam in no time!

Unexpectedly, someone was able to create a method specifically for cultivating spiritual power based on the unique characteristics of this area of ​​research.

Abel immediately tried to use this technique for meditation.

Then, a few seconds later, the blood in his body began to circulate rapidly again, until it broke through a certain critical point, and he really felt the blood in his body 'burning'.

And while maintaining this state, he could feel his mind was clear, cool, and very comfortable.
