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

After all, the "Murasame" technique, which is guaranteed to kill with a single strike, is too unstoppable. If you accidentally hurt yourself, you're doomed. So, you start by training with a wooden sword.

"Damn it, I'll make you regret this!"

Feeling humiliated, Lubbock, who had never liked direct combat, was now truly prepared to teach this guy a lesson.

As he flicked his finger, the surrounding silk threads immediately came to life, binding Abel's limbs and body.

"Ha, in the end you're just a big talker, aren't you? Now, with just a little effort, I can cut you in half."

The ease with which Abel was subdued surprised everyone watching.

Only Tatsumi, who had truly witnessed a portion of Abel's power, did not show such an expression.

“Sever me? Go ahead and try. If it were that easy to defeat me, how would I face my captain in the future?”

captain?

The information that Abel inadvertently revealed was quite strange.

But they didn't think about it too much, because Lubbock's expression had already changed.

No matter how hard he tried to pull back the silk threads, the threads binding Abel remained motionless.

With Abel's current physique, coupled with the defense of Armament Haki, do you think you can cut him directly with these threads?

What a dream!

Even Doflamingo couldn't do it.

"Is that all you've got? Then it's my turn."

As soon as he finished speaking, Abel ignored the silk threads binding his body and slashed out with ease.

The next moment, the dazzling seven-colored aurora sword energy severed the barrier in front of them and headed straight for Lubbock.

Lubbock's expression changed drastically. Fortunately, he had already laid out threads around him, so he immediately pulled himself away from the spot.

The incredibly powerful Asura Aurora Slash severed dozens of large trees before slowly disappearing from sight.

Witnessing this attack, the entire scene fell silent.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me? Are you sure he doesn't have a Teigu? Or is that wooden sword actually a sword-type Teigu comparable to 'Murasame'?"

Leone chuckled dryly, breaking the silence in an exaggerated manner.

Akame gripped the 'Murasame' sword tightly in her hand and shook her head; it was just an ordinary wooden sword.

Najenda said with a serious expression, "With so many of us watching, if he really used a Teigu, it's impossible for him to hide it from all of us, unless he..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless he, like Esdeath, has become one with the Imperial Arms."

The others were taken aback, and recalling the other party's words about challenging Esdeath, they seemed to understand the truth.

If that's really the case, then they've really recruited an extraordinary guy!

"I didn't even use one-tenth of my strength just now, should we continue?"

The silk threads binding Abel had come loose.

But Lubbock was unwilling to admit defeat easily, because the woman he liked was watching from the sidelines, so he was determined to steal the spotlight today!

“There are other ways to use silk thread besides this one.”

In Lubbock's hand, a spear formed from coiled silk threads was hurled out with a sudden burst of speed.

Once pierced by it, the threads on it will immediately enter the enemy's body and shred the enemy's heart.

Even the most capable person cannot train their heart to be as strong as steel.

Of course, Abel was an exception, as he possessed a heart protected by a membrane comparable to steel.

Even with protection, he wouldn't want to try it.

Because the other organs are still very fragile.

"Too slow. Can this kind of straightforward attack really kill the enemy?"

Under the perception of his Observation Haki, Abel casually grabbed the spear formed from the silk thread and tossed it aside.

"hateful!"

Seeing this, Lubbock used silk threads to make a long axe in his hand, and then foolishly chose to fight in close combat.

Abel simply flicked his wooden sword, knocking Lubbock's long axe aside, and then kicked him dozens of meters away.

The moment he landed, Lubbock began vomiting blood incessantly, his face contorted in pain.

If he hadn't wrapped himself in a lot of silk threads in time as a cushion, his intestines would probably have been kicked through by now.

"Lubbock!"

"This sparring ends here. You are indeed very strong, but Esdeath is not so simple either."

Abel threw the wooden sword back into place, turned and left, saying, "That's my business. I don't want anyone to interfere."

"I'm fine, I haven't lost yet!"

Lubbock pushed away the person next to him, not even bothering to wipe the blood from his mouth.

He does indeed still have the trump card 'Boundary Line', and so far almost nothing can stop 'Boundary Line' from cutting.

But using this move means it's no longer a friendly spar, but a life-or-death struggle.

Abel stopped in his tracks, and an indescribable, terrifying aura suddenly erupted from him.

Everyone was resisting with all their might, feeling as if they were facing a most terrifying, extremely dangerous monster while completely naked in the freezing cold.

Tatsumi, who was the weakest, had even begun to experience difficulty breathing and was at risk of fainting at any moment.

People like Hill and Mine were just barely holding on.

"What kind of monster is this guy?"

Leone was sweating profusely, unable to muster any thought of resistance. It was as if she would be torn to pieces the moment she dared to move.

Now Najenda is beginning to believe that the other side can really fight Esdeath!

"Alright, I said the sparring is over. Lubbock, put away your Imperial Arms."

"Um……"

Lubbock, who had already left an indelible impression on him, ultimately chose to follow his heart, because if he refused to admit defeat, he would die.

He sensed with certainty that he was firmly locked onto by that aura.

If he answers incorrectly, he will be met with a thunderous blow!

As Abel withdrew that terrifying aura, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and before they knew it, sweat had soaked through their clothes.

Chapter 302 There is no knife I cannot control

Abel and Tatsumi successfully joined the 'night raid' on the second day.

Since there were no assassination missions at the moment, everyone in 'Night Raid' was busy with their own tasks.

Some are training, some are resting, some are cooking... It's rare to be this peaceful.

As a newcomer, Tatsumi was given special training by Brand, the owner of the armor-type Imperial Arms "Demon's Embrace".

After all, his strength was average and he didn't have any Imperial Arms, so studying was his top priority.

Another point worth mentioning is that Brand is a muscular man with gay tendencies...

During special training, Tatsumi always felt like he was being taken advantage of.

Of course, he didn't dare say this to anyone.

What do you think of Brand's abilities?

Abel was lying outside sunbathing, completely unlike his aggressive demeanor from yesterday, when Najendan suddenly walked up to him and asked.

"It's okay."

"Just making do?"

“Without that armor, I could kill him ten times in three seconds,” Abel said casually, and even then, it was a humble statement.

"What if Brand is fully armed?"

"If you don't go all out, you might be able to last a minute in front of me."

"You are very confident in your abilities."

"Time will prove everything."

Najendan glanced at him. "You're skilled with a knife?"

"Many people say I have a good talent in this area."

"Then why don't you prepare a good weapon for yourself?"

This is also what puzzles Najendan; the more she tries to understand this man, the more secrets she discovers he is hiding.

"I used to have one, but I accidentally lost it. By the way, are you trying to win me over? I think the Murasame would be pretty good."

Abel suddenly became interested.

Najendan was somewhat speechless. "You've already joined us, so this isn't considered recruiting you. We just want to get to know you better."

"Also, you should know that under normal circumstances, no one can use two Imperial Arms at the same time."

"Besides, even if I agree, Akame won't agree. I don't want to see the two of you killing each other."

"The most important thing is the compatibility with the Imperial Arms. If the compatibility is not good, even if you forcibly obtain the Murasame, you still cannot use it."

Abel understood the implication in the other person's words, "Don't worry, I don't have the habit of taking little girls' candy."

"But there's one thing you're wrong about. I've never used any Imperial Arms. Believe it or not."

"By the way, make sure to prepare plenty of food for lunch. I have a big appetite. Providing meals and accommodation is one of the few perks you have here, so keep it up."

Abel had no desire to continue the conversation and got up to leave.
