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

Then, as soon as they left the auction house, someone was waiting for them.

"Why haven't you come to see me for so long?"

Stussy walked up to Abel and looked at him with a deliberately resentful tone.

Abel knew things were going to go wrong the moment he saw her, but he never expected her to pull this stunt, especially in front of so many people.

shhhhhh...

Everyone's eyes, including Doflamingo's, were fixed on the two of them, looking on with anticipation for a good show.

And Doflamingo finally realized that the woman's greeting wasn't directed at him, but at Abel.

But when did the two of them meet?

Still so...enthusiastic?

Doflamingo's puzzled gaze suddenly fell on Abel's face, and in that instant, he seemed to understand everything.

Ha, yet another shallow woman.

So-called queen of the entertainment district, nothing special.

"Please, can you not say things that could be misunderstood? We only met once before, at the last auction."

Abel deliberately went into more detail, partly to explain himself.

"So all the shopping and dining out with me was just a pretense?"

Tears were already glistening in Stussy's eyes.

Many people began to look at Abel with a strange expression, as if to say something else.

Bah, scumbag!

"I...that's not..."

Abel finally experienced what it means to be speechless.

"Okay, I know you're bothered by my age, but could you have another meal with me? Let's make this a perfect ending to this wonderful memory?"

Hey Hey hey!

Could you please not say things that could be so misunderstood?

When did I ever say I disliked you? No, thank goodness, I almost fell for it.

Abel, who had narrowly escaped being tricked, quickly changed his tune, saying, "Excuse me, I have to go. My captain still needs me..."

"Just some small fry, don't keep everyone waiting too long."

"not me……"

"Go ahead, but there's no need to bring Baby-5 along for this kind of thing."

Doflamingo very understandingly granted the leave and even called over Baby-5, who had a puffed-up face.

Stussy immediately expressed her gratitude to Doflamingo in a ladylike manner.

Then she naturally took Abel's arm and whispered to him, "You don't want your captain to know what happened that day, do you?"

"It doesn't matter. Say what you want to say. What do I have to hide?"

Abel spoke with a very firm tone, but his body moved in an unusually cooperative manner, following the other person's lead.

He just wanted to see what tricks the other party was up to this time.

Seeing that Abel had really left with this woman, all the cadres had different expressions, and some even had a hint of envy in their eyes.

Although everyone despises the idea of ​​making a living based on one's looks, it's undeniable that deep down, everyone harbors some envy.

Doflamingo was wondering what kind of help his family could gain if Abel really conquered the Queen of the Pleasure District with his face.

Chapter 322 Preparations for Entering the New World

"Boss, bring me thirty more of everything on the menu!"

Inside the restaurant, Abel ate as if no one else was there.

But his deliberately rugged appearance had no effect whatsoever. Stussy, dressed in an evening gown, sat opposite him, watching him with a smile, as if love truly is blind.

However, she and Abel both knew perfectly well that it was impossible.

It's all an act; only a fool would believe it!

Abel had come to terms with it. Regardless of the other party's motives, he would just be himself and not engage.

Weren't we supposed to go shopping and have a meal?

They just kept eating, not even giving him a chance to speak.

So, one of them ate heartily, while the other watched quietly.

Finally, the owner came out wiping the sweat from his brow, apologized to them, and said that all the ingredients in the store had been used up.

Abel grabbed a handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and turned to leave.

Stussy paid the bill gracefully, then relentlessly chased after them again.

Neither of them intended to speak first, nor did they even have the thought of saying anything.

But they still ate together, went shopping, bought things, watched TV shows... and did everything together.

This type of dating was something Abel had never seen before in his two lives.

Finally, he glanced at the sky and decided to take his leave!

He had already thought of countless reasons and excuses in his mind, but Stussy simply nodded and let him go.

Are we really just going to let him go like that?

Abel was stunned. He felt a sense of disappointment, like punching cotton. He was very frustrated and upset.

"What on earth is this woman up to?"

Although he couldn't understand it, he still quickly slipped away as if he had been granted a pardon.

I was terrified that the other person would suddenly pull a steel wool pad out of their bag...

He's not that kind of person!

Seeing Abel run away as if fleeing a disaster, Stuart stood still with his red lips slightly upturned and his eyes bright as if he had everything under control.

Meanwhile, when Abel returned to the Flamingo...

Not only is the battle over, but the cleanup work is almost done as well.

Box after box of treasure was being loaded onto the ship.

Some people are collecting the bodies, leaving the bounty hunters aside to sell for money later.

One of the advantages of becoming a Shichibukai is that you can openly take advantage of the Navy and the World Government.

The rest were naturally thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

Those few ships can also be sold for some money, so naturally none of them should be wasted.

Fortunately, Doflamingo brought quite a few people with him on this trip, otherwise they really wouldn't have been able to drive away.

Just by looking at the joyful expressions on everyone's faces, Abel knew that the benefits that had just been offered to him were definitely worth a lot!

"Oh, it's over so quickly? Didn't the young master give you a break?"

Mahabez said to Abel with a lewd grin.

"I don't like old women."

Abel said helplessly.

Although he didn't know exactly how old Stusi was, he was definitely not young.

Want to date younger women?

Bah! Dream on!

"That's because you're too young. Women naturally develop more charm and elegance with time, G~~~"

Rao G also chimed in.

"Ugh, I'm not as good as you all say!"

Jorah walked by with a shy expression.

Abel's expression suddenly turned blank. Such a bizarre family was destined to perish.

"These guys seem pretty rich. How much have they made?"

He deliberately changed the subject, not wanting to mention Stusey anymore.

But little did he know that by following the other person's lead, shopping together, eating together... he had already fallen into an unseen vortex.

Everyone was an official, so there was no hiding anything. Señor smoked a cigarette and did a quick mental calculation: "The treasures we found, plus 7% of the bounty and these ships, and the 20 billion Berries we spent, should have brought back at least a billion. So the young master is in a very good mood right now."

Most of the time, pirates are generally very poor.

But there are exceptions.

For example, they might accumulate wealth little by little through plunder.

Another example is finding a treasure left by predecessors, which can lead to instant wealth!

The former is more likely to encounter difficulties, while the latter requires a lot of luck.

Doflamingo was clearly lucky; if these guys didn't have money, they wouldn't have bothered coming to the auction.

In the end, he benefited from it all.

Upon hearing this, Abel felt he had missed out on billions.

He absolutely had to confront Doflamingo. How could he possibly withhold his precious Adam Tree after catching such a fat fish?

Doflamingo was so annoyed by him that he promptly sent him away.

It's impossible to get more of the Treasure Tree Adam; at most, we'll stop cutting back on the kid's activity funds.
