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

But let's get down to business first, otherwise this guy's soul will dissipate soon.

Baby-5 examined the freshly formed soul orb of Mad Bull Michael in her hand for a while, then shook her head. "No, it's not pure enough. It's not yet at the point of being deeply enraged."

Having already prepared himself mentally, Abel remained unmoved upon hearing this answer.

He simply nodded slightly, then asked, "How much of a difference is there?"

Baby-5 held up two fingers to indicate a distance.

"Is it really a difference of 20 percent? It turns out that some people's madness and anger are just a facade."

Abel shook his head speechlessly.

These kinds of corrupted souls are really hard to find.

He sighed inwardly, but wasn't too disappointed. After all, he had anticipated this outcome when he was searching for the first [human soul deeply mired in lust].

Even worse situations could occur, such as being stuck by a particular corrupted soul that cannot be found no matter what, which would prevent the activation of all subsequent magical weapon forms.

This is not just him being overly pessimistic; it is a real and highly likely event.

Fortunately, if things really come to that, he still has one last way to resolve it: he can post a prayer order and receive one through the system.

As long as you're willing to pay the price, there's absolutely no problem.

That's part of the allure of trading.

If you have something I don't, then we can just swap them.

But there's no rush. Abel plans to look around some more, since his trading points didn't come easily.

……

Just as Abel was beginning to help his family make a name for themselves on the Grand Line, Law and Corazon's journey to seek medical help continued.

"How disgusting! Guards! Guards!"

"Per...Per has lead poisoning?! Get him out of here!"

"Nurse, quickly bring all the disinfectant over here! Disinfect every place they've been in three times, no, ten times!!!"

"Also, take all my clothes out and burn them all!"

"Those disgusting things, weren't they supposed to have died out long ago? Why are they still around...?"

"Why are you back again?"

"Ah! Don't hit me..."

……

Walking down the street, Luo's expression had long since become numb.

The scene just now was nothing compared to what had happened in the past six months.

"Seriously, how many doctors have you beaten to a pulp by now? Aren't you going to give up?"

"It's because that guy said something too outrageous, and I couldn't hold back for a moment. I looked at the nautical chart, and there are many hospitals on the islands that we haven't been to."

While feeling indignant on behalf of Law, Corazon took out a well-worn nautical chart from his pocket and marked an X on one of the islands with a red pen.

If you look closely, you'll see that this nautical chart, which covers almost the entire North Sea, has been marked with many Xs of various sizes in red pen.

These X's represent places they've been to, and so far, they've made no progress, as if they've just been wasting their time.

"Are you planning to get all the hospitals in Beihai to blacklist us if things continue like this? I don't care, I might be dead within a year anyway."

You won't die!

Corazon suddenly interrupted Luo, speaking with absolute certainty.

"I said I would definitely find a way to cure you so that you can live like a normal person."

Luo was stunned.

"Let's go, what are you daydreaming about? If we don't hurry, we'll miss the boat to the next island."

Luo lowered the brim of his hat, his mood somewhat unsettled.

night.

Still unable to catch the ship, Luo and Corazon, being short of money, could only find a place to sleep not far from the beach.

Looking back on his experiences seeking medical treatment during this period, Corazon felt extremely guilty.

He felt that if he hadn't forcibly brought Luo out, Luo wouldn't have suffered so many hardships again, repeatedly exposing his scars to others and receiving only cold, disgusted looks.

He wanted to save the other person, but it seemed as if he was pushing Luo into an even deeper abyss.

He couldn't tell anyone about these pressures, so he could only secretly pour out his heart to the sea while Luo was asleep, tears streaming down his face.

What he didn't know was that Luo wasn't asleep and had heard everything.

This deeply shocked Luo, who bit her lip tightly to keep from crying out loud.

It also made Luo realize that there was still someone in this world who genuinely cared for him.

The next day, when Cora woke up, she saw that Luo was already full of energy and starting to make breakfast.

When she saw him wake up, she even greeted him with a smile.

Good morning, Mr. Cora.

"Good morning... Hmm? What did you call me? Kokoko... Kora..."

Corazon looked incredulous, his eyes revealing a hidden excitement.

Luo blushed slightly, but still called out "Mr. Cora" again.

This was the first time Luo had called him that since they had met; previously, they had always addressed each other by their first names.

This small change brought Corazon immense joy, causing him to display a smile that could only be described as terrifyingly expressive.

"Hahaha, you finally called me Mr. Cora."

"Luo, am I dreaming?"

"What a disgusting smile! Take it off right now and eat breakfast!"

Okay, okay~

With that invisible barrier completely broken down, their relationship became anything but ordinary.

Chapter 257 The Torture of the Newcomers in Progress

Two months have passed since Abel arrived on the Grand Line to assist Trebol.

The year 1507 of the Haiyuan Calendar has passed, and now it is the new year 1508 of the Haiyuan Calendar.

This also means that Abel and Robb have been members of the Don Quixote family for almost two years.

Thinking about it, time really flies.

During these two months, Abel didn't do anything special; he simply cooperated with Torebour to guard several islands for the family.

My daily routine consists of eating, training, randomly picking a foolish pirate crew to beat up (when the opportunity arises), and then going to sleep feeling refreshed.

There have been many rookie pirates who fell victim to him and ended up with bounties, but the number has exceeded 20.

On average, one every three days!

But in reality, it was more frequent in the early stages, and became less and less frequent in the later stages.

As a result, rumors have spread within a small pirate circle about the two islands he mainly manages, saying that a devil disguised as a handsome young man frequently appears on these two islands, specifically targeting pirate crews that have just arrived on the Grand Line.

Moreover, their methods are extremely cruel, and they never leave any survivors.

Some busybodies even gave this 'devil' a nickname: the newcomer killer!

They call those two islands the "newlyweds' graveyard."

When Abel heard this, he almost coughed up blood.

What the hell is this, a killer of newbies and a graveyard for newbies?

Did you ask me, the great Dongba deity?

Have you paid the copyright fee?

None of them sound as good as "Kindergarten Killer," skr~

Of course, these rumors only circulated within a certain scope, and were nothing more than a tiny news item in the grand scheme of things.

No, it shouldn't even be considered news; it's just a rumor whose veracity cannot be determined.

Such rumors are countless at sea every year, and many people just laugh them off without taking them seriously.

In addition, there are always some stubborn kids who don't believe in evil and want to challenge this "big boss" who specializes in dealing with "newcomers", so Abel is not unemployed yet.

When the Donquixote Family's banner can easily protect an island like the Four Emperors, then this trouble will be unnecessary.

Abel only needs to wait for Doflamingo to arrive with his men to be free.

The time is not far off.

Inside the manor, Abel stood shirtless in the snow, swinging an enormous barbell as he practiced sword-wielding.

The specially made barbell sliced ​​through the air with a whooshing sound, which was quite frightening.

Not far away, Baby-5, wearing an adorable bunny hat, is happily building a snowman.

Perhaps because she was away from Doflamingo, she finally changed out of her unchanging maid outfit and put on a beautiful new dress that suited her age.

Even during training, Abel's mind was not idle.

He began to summarize what he had learned in the past two months.

First, let's look at the system.

He completed four more intermediate-level prayer orders, all of which requested all sorts of strange and unusual things.

Fortunately, the basic requirements are relatively simple; the real challenge lies in the optional content.

With the help of his family's resources, he successfully obtained a portion of it, securing four three-star ratings and earning a total of 6000 transaction points.
