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

That kind of eternal darkness is truly terrifying!

If he hadn't already developed a certain foundation in understanding the power of darkness, he would probably have lost himself in the darkness and then completely collapsed.

In that case, not only will you gain nothing, but you will also suffer some psychological trauma.

Fortunately, Dark Breath is his exclusive skill, and its compatibility is at its maximum.

Therefore, he also has a very high affinity for the power of darkness!

In just one hour, he not only perfected the three sword techniques [Four], [Five], and [Six], but also broke through his Dark Breath level to LV5, just one step away from reaching LV6!

Abel was confident that he would break through to LV6 in the coming period of time.

This is a really big surprise!

For the next few days, Abel still didn't receive any tasks, so he was naturally happy to have some free time.

He devotes himself to training every day without the slightest slack.

After all five [One-Day Training Cards] were used up, all of his skills received a significant level boost.

[Asura Aurora Slash] was upgraded to LV6 first, and then I focused on training other skills, also training [Magic Card Modification] and [Clothes Burst] to LV6!

Only the [Infinite One-Hit Kill] skill remains at LV4 and has not yet been used in actual combat.

Another noteworthy point is that after Abel upgraded his exclusive skill [Breath of Darkness] to LV6, he unexpectedly awakened his markings!

At that time, Abel's body temperature exceeded 42 degrees Celsius, and his heart rate exceeded 200 beats per minute; his body was burning hot.

Fortunately, because he frequently practiced the [Kaba Blood Burning Meditation Technique], he quickly adapted to this abnormality.

Then black markings appeared on his forehead, shaped like a pair of wings...

Like the wings of a demon, mysterious and eerie!

He named it "Dark Wings".

Once the markings were fully awakened, Abel felt a tremendous change taking place in his body.

His already strong physical abilities were enhanced once again by leaps and bounds, but at the same time, he also felt his life force burning up!

In other words, this kind of reinforcement is not free, but rather it is depleting a person's vitality.

Once awakened, the burning speed will not be slowed down even if the markings are not activated normally.

This is also why people who develop facial markings don't live past 25.

If someone over 25 years old develops facial markings, they will not live much longer.

Abel estimated that at this rate of burning, even if he bought up all the remaining life-extending [red hearts] in the system shop, he might not live to be 30.

Because the enhancement he received was unmatched by others who had activated their markings.

Fortunately, he kept the reward he received from that prayer order.

[The Perfect Blood of the Progenitor of Demons] (Orange)

Disposable items

Description: Perfect demon blood, neutralized by blue spider lilies, eliminating all side effects.

Effects: After ingestion, one of the following three effects may take effect:

1. Permanently increase lifespan by three years.

2. Temporarily gains super-fast regeneration; even if the head and heart are lost, regeneration can still be completed. The more times regeneration occurs, the faster the blood energy is consumed, and the shorter the duration.

3. Completely counteracts the side effects of awakening the 'spots'.

PS: Muzan Kibutsuji: "Tell me where the Blue Spider Lily is?!"

……

He was initially unsure which effect would maximize his benefits, but now that he has awakened his markings, he no longer needs to hesitate.

He immediately swallowed it and then chose the third effect: to completely negate the side effects of awakening the 'spot'.

As the drop of perfect blood spread throughout his body, the burning sensation vanished instantly.

Instead, it has a cool and refreshing sensation.

Then Abel discovered that he could now turn the markings on and off at any time, and his life force would no longer be overdrawn and consumed.

Furthermore, after activating his markings, his Dark Breath and all the techniques derived from it were greatly enhanced.

Our strength has increased dramatically once again!

Abel felt that if he were to fight Upper Moon Six again right now, he wouldn't need to go through all that trouble; he could easily kill it with any Nichirin Blade!

This is the powerful confidence that comes with improved strength.

This confidence, in turn, was fed back into the seed of Conqueror's Haki, becoming nourishment for its growth, truly making the most of it.

Abel pondered that in order for his Conqueror's Haki to grow faster, he needed to frequently defeat enemies, preferably strong ones, in order to cultivate his spirit.

Invincible and unbeatable!

When he possesses such a spirit, his Conqueror's Haki will likely have reached its peak.

Of course, that's still a long way off for him right now, but we can start training him first.

After careful consideration, Abel realized that Doflamingo's defeat to Luffy in the original work was actually predetermined, aside from the protagonist's halo.

If the constant pursuit and hiding by the Navy led by Tsuru in his early years could be considered a form of tempering, then encountering Kaido afterwards was tantamount to shattering the kingly aura that Doflamingo had painstakingly cultivated.

As a result, Doflamingo later became Kaido's supplier, and felt fear every time that name was mentioned.

When someone with the potential to be a king loses their indomitable spirit and begins to feel fear, it means that they are on the verge of elimination in this brutal battle for supremacy.

Ultimately, it became nothing more than a source of experience for the protagonist Luffy, losing everything.

So Abel was also thinking, what if Doflamingo made the same choice in this life, 'giving up' his path to becoming a king and choosing to become Kaido's lackey?

Then he will take over without any psychological burden.

After all, it was Doflamingo who gave up on him first.

Of course, when the time comes, Abel will surely give him a dignified ending.

For example, buy a scenic island, build a castle on it, and let Doflamingo grow sweet potatoes, pick flowers, bask in the sun, and have afternoon tea when he has free time.

Early retirement is no better than being sent to a deep-sea prison by the protagonist!

Abel felt he could be nominated as one of the top ten people who have moved the world.

Chapter 247 Starting Today, I'll Become a Rookie Killer!

With winter approaching, Abel finally ended his vacation.

"Next year, our family will fully enter the Grand Line. We have already made progress in Trebol, but because our family's reputation is still limited to the North Blue, many people are dissatisfied and often 'newcomers' who have just entered the Grand Line come to cause trouble."

"Torrepol has contacted me several times, hoping I will send reinforcements, as he cannot handle it alone."

"However, the other family executives are currently tied up, and before shifting our focus to the Grand Line, we must ensure that our base in the North Blue remains intact."

"So after thinking about it, I think you're the only one suitable to make this trip for now."

"With your current strength, dealing with those 'newcomers' who have just entered the 'Paradise' should not be a problem."

"If you encounter trouble, prioritize your own safety, and then notify Torrepol to handle it. If neither of you can handle it, then leave it to me."

"It will only take a few months at most. Once things are more stable in Beihai, we will send others to support you."

Inside the room, Doflamingo explained the mission details in detail.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but ever since Abel risked his life to save him, Doflamingo has become more and more casual in front of Abel.

Sometimes, even strategic plans that other cadres might not be aware of would be told to Abel.

Abel naturally sensed this as well, knowing that the strategy of building favorability had worked.

As for this mission, it is a long-term mission, and he feels that the timing is perfect.

As Doflamingo said, with his current strength, he could easily crush those newcomers who have just entered the Grand Line, and it would be difficult for him to fail.

These "experience babies" can be used to accumulate combat experience and gain an advantage, thereby increasing one's own morale and allowing Conqueror's Haki to grow rapidly.

Secondly, the emperor is far away and the country is far from the capital.

Once he got there, with only Torrebol around, it would be easier for him to pull some tricks.

For example, secretly cultivating some subordinates.

If you encounter a promising newcomer, you can quietly mark them with your own tag.

Don't forget, he still has two [Contracts to Control Demons] that he hasn't used yet.

In addition, he could use some miscellaneous things that he himself didn't need to train his subordinates.

In any case, it's better to have quality than quantity when it comes to such people.

He would consider himself incredibly lucky if he could find two promising new talents to nurture.

After all, every year when you go to the Sabaody Archipelago, there are only one or two newcomers who can be called supernovas, and sometimes there aren't even one for several consecutive years.

Otherwise, why would the 11 supernovas, including the protagonist, be called the 'Worst Generation' in the original work?

The sheer number is terrifying, like a geyser erupting!

By analogy, during the NBA draft, Kobe, James, McGrady, Carter, Yao Ming, O'Neal, Durant... a group of incredibly talented young men participated in the same draft year.

To paraphrase a famous quote from a certain basketball critic, this is the Generation of Miracles!

They mean roughly the same thing.

It's not yet time to call it a 'generation', so Abel is just trying his luck. It would be best if he met someone, but it wouldn't matter if he didn't.

However, Abel had one request: that Baby-5 be brought along.

After all, with Baby-5 around, he can transform into a magical weapon at any time, greatly increasing his strength and even allowing him to kill enemies of higher levels.

Furthermore, Baby-5 needs to devour more corrupted souls to strengthen itself.

So far, only two forms have been activated, and there are still five forms waiting to be activated. It's no good if we don't prepare early.
