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

Chapter 260 Get Everything Moving

On this day, Abel took a rare day off and leisurely enjoyed afternoon tea.

Then I received a call from Doflamingo.

To be honest, he was quite surprised to receive the contact at this time.

However, what surprised him even more was what happened next.

"Abel, put the Grand Line matter aside for now and head back to the North Blue as soon as possible. We have news of the Ope Ope Fruit."

Doflamingo's very first sentence was packed with information!

Abel asked in surprise, "Has the news been confirmed? Will something like last time happen again?"

"It has been confirmed that the seller and the World Government reached an agreement to sell it to the Celestial Dragons for a staggering price of 50 billion Berries."

"Now we're just waiting for the Navy to escort the World Government representatives over for the transaction."

Doflamingo said in a deep voice, "The rest of the family is still investigating the seller's hiding place and the specific time of the transaction. We need to get our hands on this Op-Op Fruit before the transaction, then you and Law can both be cured."

Abel remained unmoved, but still feigned excitement. "Okay, I'll be right back. By the way, should we wait for Torrepol to come along?"

"Torrepol has other important things to do, so we don't need to wait for him."

This answer made Abel feel a little uneasy, but he didn't think much of it. In fact, one more or one less person wouldn't make much of a difference.

Then Doflamingo changed the subject, saying, "According to the original rules and your contributions to the family during this time, this Op-Op Fruit should have been yours to eat. But I think this fruit cannot fully unleash your potential. What is truly suitable for you is a Devil Fruit that brings a huge boost to your combat ability."

"So after thinking about it, I decided to give the Surgery Fruit to Corazon to eat, and then let Corazon cure you and Robert's lead poisoning."

"In this way, neither of you will have any worries and can freely choose the Devil Fruit abilities you like, instead of being limited to just the Op-Op Fruit. What do you think?"

I think love is whatever it is!

Abel started rolling his eyes.

Doflamingo has done things like dividing up the spoilers before even getting the Devil Fruits, and he's never failed at it.

Clearly, he already considered this surgical achievement as his own.

The reason why he wasn't allowed to eat, but Corazon was allowed to eat, was not at all what Doflamingo said.

The main reason is that Corazon is his younger brother!

Doflamingo was even more confident that Corazon, who had eaten the Op-Op Fruit, would later perform the "Immortality Surgery" on him, thus granting him eternal life!

This is the point!

At the same time, he was also worried that if Abel ate the fruit of surgery, he might grow to a point where he could no longer control him.

Abel knew all these things perfectly well.

Unfortunately, what Doflamingo didn't know was that his younger brother had not only eaten a Devil Fruit long ago, but was also an undercover spy sent by the Navy.

Therefore, he was destined to be forever barred from the fruits of this surgery.

"I have no objection. Anyway, this Devil Fruit doesn't sound powerful just from its name."

When it comes to playing dumb, Abel is also a master.

Doflamingo didn't notice anything amiss, and was even pleased that he thought that way.

Abel then went on to talk about the Baroque Works.

Doflamingo didn't care at all, or rather, all his attention was focused on the Op-Op Fruit. Even if Crocodile came in person, he wouldn't bother with him.

He just didn't want to start a conflict for no reason, it wasn't that he was afraid of anyone.

After ending the call, Abel immediately explained everything that had happened after he left, and then took Baby-5 to prepare to return to the North Sea to witness the rebirth of Luo.

In fact, they hadn't seen each other for a year.

……

A few days later, Doflamingo finally located the group selling the Op-Op Fruit and managed to contact Corazon, who had been missing for a long time.

After telling Corazon the 'good news' that he was going to give him the fruit of the surgery, the two agreed on a time and place to meet.

Don't ask Corazon how a 'mute' can communicate using a Den Den Mushi; he could use his hands to type Morse code or something similar.

Afterwards, Corazon was both surprised and delighted, and immediately contacted Marshal Sengoku again.

When Sengoku heard that even Corazon knew about the Op-Op Fruit, he was greatly shocked!

This matter is clearly kept absolutely secret and could not possibly be leaked.

After sending out the warships, he didn't even notify He, who was in the North Sea.

But now that the Don Quixote family has intervened, something drastic will happen.

After repeatedly warning Corazon not to get involved, Sengoku hurriedly contacted Tsuru, hoping to use her to stop Doflamingo and even capture the entire Donquixote Family.

No one knows exactly what Sengoku and Tsuru discussed.

All that is known is that after ending the communication, He sighed, then began to organize the personnel and prepare to depart.

Corazon was extremely excited after receiving confirmation of the authenticity from the Warring States Marshal.

"Luo, now there's finally hope for your recovery!"

"The Op-Op Fruit can cure all diseases, making it the most suitable Devil Fruit for you."

Seeing Corazon's excited and happy expression, Law hesitated for a moment, "But didn't Doflamingo say you were the one who ate? It's the same if you eat..."

"It's different. Each person can only eat one Devil Fruit. If they eat a second one, they will die."

"But I have already eaten the fruit of silence."

"So you understand now, right? We can't go back. If Dover finds out I betrayed him, he'll never let me off the hook."

Corazon's expression was somewhat somber.

"But it doesn't matter. As long as we get there before everyone else, snatch that operation fruit, and let you eat it, then we can escape far away and never have to come back."

"But... what about Abel? If I eat the Op-Op Fruit and then run away, he'll die too, won't he?"

Luo's words suddenly stunned Corazon, because he had been thinking about Luo's situation and had overlooked another boy who had suffered the same fate.

And the bond between Abel and Lot.

"It's alright, we can sneak back sometime later, and you can help him cure his lead poisoning, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Luo knew that Corazon was deliberately speaking so lightly so that he wouldn't feel guilty.

So he didn't say anything more.

But he had already made up his mind.

So the two of them rowed their small boat and began to struggle through the storm, as if this were the last darkness before dawn.

A bright future awaits them.

But will such aspirations really come true?

Chapter 261 The Outbreak of Corazon

The pitch-black night had already fallen.

On Minion Island, there is a deserted town called Ghost Town, where the pirate crew of Dias Barreus is currently stationed.

Because of concerns about their whereabouts being revealed, everyone's personal freedom was restricted.

But compared to the 50 billion Berries that are about to be in hand, suffering for a few days seems like nothing.

So even though the conditions were harsh and the weather was cold, everyone's face was filled with a twisted sense of excitement.

"Such a small Devil Fruit can actually sell for a sky-high price of 50 billion Berries. Those Celestial Dragons are really too rich."

Diaz Barrerus held the surgical fruit in his hand, occasionally letting out various exclamations.

The eyes of the others who looked over were filled with greed.

However, due to the military intimidation of Dias Barreus, no one wanted to double-cross them.

After all, even if they succeeded, no one could keep all 50 billion Berries for themselves.

Even the best appetite can be overeaten!

So it's better to just complete the transaction honestly and get what you're entitled to.

Putting aside the fact that each person has tens of millions of Berries, that's enough for them to live a carefree life for the rest of their days.

"Drake, bring the box over here."

Diaz Barrelus glanced at his son, who was sitting alone in the corner, and felt a little angry at his son's lack of ambition.

Little did he know that his son, who had once greatly admired him, had completely changed when he went from being a respected naval officer to a pirate.

The boy named Drake, though 18 years old, was as thin as a 13 or 4-year-old child.

Especially that insecure and self-conscious look of hers, it makes people want to lash out.

Just as Diaz Barrerus, who had roughly snatched the box from Drake's hand, was carefully putting the Ope Ope no Mi back in, everything suddenly went black.

"Someone broke the light!"

"Huh? Why is there no sound?"

"What happened? Why is it so dark? Why is no one speaking?"

In the darkness, all was quiet.

But in reality, someone is carrying out a killing spree.

Corazon finally revealed his fangs to outsiders for the first time!

The pitch-black environment, combined with the sound-absorbing effect of the Silence Fruit, made the dozens of people in the castle hall seem deaf and blind at the same time, leaving them completely at the mercy of others.
