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

As for optional content, none of it has been finalized.

Abel discovered that even if the basic requirements were fulfilled perfectly, without completing the optional items, he wouldn't reach four stars, let alone the five-star rating he hadn't even seen yet! (Referring to the intermediate prayer order)

However, these optional contents sometimes really depend on luck.

It's like 'Edward Elric wants the Philosopher's Stone'...

Where the hell is he going to get the Philosopher's Stone?

If he had such a thing, would he still be trading it?

However, he estimated that if he could actually produce it, he might actually get a five-star review.

But that is impossible.

Then, after the system shop refreshed four times, he bought some items, some of which were quite interesting.

……

The "small man-pulling rocket launcher" is simply a metal ring with a small rocket attached to it.

Before using it, put this thing on your head, then press the launch button to fly.

The principle is that the rocket is flying, and you are being pulled along by the rocket!

People who aren't tough enough wouldn't dare use it!

Both the "Order Elimination Card" and the "Temporary Permission Card for Cross-Site Item Transfer" are system-generated items. Abel will buy any item with these labels, no matter how expensive it is.

He analyzed it and concluded that the former could be used for wish orders that aim for five-star reviews.

Because if the optional content is not completed, the highest rating is only three stars.

But what if the default optional content is in a completed state?

Even without any optional rewards, if you can successfully achieve a five-star review, it's definitely a huge win!

Of course, even without the option to choose from, it's not easy.

Abel used the latter immediately after acquiring it.

This means that when his consciousness goes to other worlds to complete prayer orders in the future, he can teleport any item in the system's inventory at any time.

Although the cost of this teleportation is a bit high, the fact that it forced him to pay this price means that he must have reached a point where he had no choice but to do it. It's quite a trump card, and it might even help him turn the tide at some point and earn him a five-star rating.

As for the last one, the "Fake Venus's Broken Arm," it was bought as a potential trading item. If I could use it, I would make a fortune; if I couldn't, I would just keep it. It was a kind of investment.

Abel spent a total of 5000 trade points to buy these items.

Then, looking at his dwindling lifespan, he gritted his teeth and bought 10 more "hearts," reducing his remaining lifespan to double digits before finally relieving the sense of urgency.

With this one purchase, the 6000 transaction points I had worked so hard to earn over two months were gone in an instant!

Fortunately, I still had some savings, with 4340 trading points remaining. Combined with the number of wish orders I've accumulated over the past few months, this should be enough to cope with some tricky changes.

Chapter 258 The Sand Crocodile's Test

"Lord Abel, there are two men outside who claim to be from Baroque Works. They say they have something to discuss with you."

"Baroque Works?"

Abel looked somewhat surprised, as he had no connection with the other party whatsoever.

It's unclear whether those two little shrimps outside came on their own or were instructed by that 'sand crocodile'.

If it's the former, then no matter what the purpose of coming here is, it's easy to get rid of them.

But if it's the latter, it will probably cause quite a bit of trouble.

"Take them inside and wait. I'll be there in a bit."

"Yes!"

After his subordinates respectfully withdrew, Abel continued his training.

It's impossible for him to immediately drop everything and rush to see just any Tom, Dick, or Harry who comes along.

What would he become then?

He doesn't want to lose face?

Since they've taken the initiative to come to us, we should be prepared to use this opportunity to probe their intentions.

An hour later, Abel put down the specially made barbell, wiped his sweat with a towel, and then went to take a shower without asking the two men any questions.

Inside a room in the manor.

A tall man and a petite woman were sitting on the sofa, looking impatient.

More than an hour has passed.

If they hadn't had a mission, and if the served black tea and pastries hadn't tasted decent, they would have already lost their temper!

Finally, Abel, having finished his bath and changed into clean clothes, arrived late.

"So handsome!"

The petite woman had originally planned to make things difficult for the other party, but she fell for him the moment she saw Abel, revealing a lovesick expression.

The tall man next to him immediately looked displeased, especially when he saw that the 'pretty boy' had ignored them and sat down opposite them, with a maid obediently lighting his cigarette. He felt extremely resentful!

"Miss Monday, how long do you intend to keep embarrassing yourself?" the tall man retorted directly to his partner.

“Mr. 8, please watch your words. How did I lose face? If you don’t want to partner with me, we can apply together when we get back. There are other vacancies that haven’t been filled yet.”

However, the petite woman was no pushover either, and immediately retorted, leaving the man speechless.

Within the Baroque Works, everyone uses code names instead of their real names.

In most cases, it's a male-female partnership. The male's code name is Mr + a number, with smaller numbers indicating greater strength. The female's code name is Miss + a combination of date/holiday.

The number '8' indicates that the other party's combination is only at the middle level.

It's also worth mentioning that Crocodile has already established Baroque Works at this stage, starting to hunt pirates and raise funds for it.

However, the people in Baroque Works now are not the same group as those ten years from now.

More than ten years is enough time for Baroque Works to go through several rounds of personnel changes, both inside and out.

Of course, the president behind the scenes will remain the same; it's still that Crocodile.

Pulling himself back to reality, even Abel was surprised that the two guys in front of him had started fighting on their own.

Of course, this could also be a facade deliberately put on for him.

"Gentlemen, it's getting late. Let's get down to business."

Abel had no interest in wasting time on such insignificant people; if it weren't for Crocodile's sake, he wouldn't even have met them.

"So who is to blame for this delay?"

Mr. 8 almost blurted out those words, but considering the orders he had received, he suppressed his displeasure and said, "We are Mr. 8 and Miss Monday from Baroque Works. We are here because our investigation has revealed that many 'newcomer' pirates who have just entered the Grand Line have lost their lives here, so we wanted to see if any new pirates have appeared."
