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

Abel accepted the order with practiced ease and then closed his eyes.

The next moment, when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dirty alley.

I looked up at the sky; it was already evening.

Chapter 342 Hunting Ghouls

Daejeon Ward, also known as Ward 11, was originally a relatively stable area.

But at some point, the original stability disappeared, and instead became chaotic. People disappeared or were killed every day, causing widespread fear.

This also attracted the attention and investigation of the CCG.

CCG, the Bureau for Countering Ghouls, is a government agency.

An organization that investigates ghoul-related incidents worldwide, and also shelters orphans whose parents were killed by ghouls.

Simply put, it's a place specifically responsible for eliminating ghouls.

With many ghoul investigators fighting ghouls on the front lines, the casualty rate is very high, especially among new recruits.

Abel had no idea where he was and was about to go out to see when he heard a sweet, delicate voice behind him.

"What a handsome young man! Will you stay with me for the night?"

Sure enough, he knew that being sent to a place like this was bound to be bad!

Abel turned around and looked at the charming, wealthy, and generous woman in front of him. Her eyes were so captivating that they seemed to electrify him.

The woman seemed captivated by him, and immediately pressed her entire body against his chest, then whispered in an extremely seductive tone, "My place or yours?"

Abel looked around, then put his arm around the other person's waist to prevent them from escaping. "I think this place is nice."

"Ugh~ I won't stand for it! What if someone sees me? How am I supposed to face anyone then? Waaah~"

Turns out he's a lecherous young man, which makes things easier.

The meat smells amazing, and it looks so good too. It's absolutely top-quality. I can hardly resist eating it.

No one saw that the woman who had buried her head in Abel's chest was already drooling.

It's not an adjective, but rather the kind of drooling that comes from not having eaten meat for days and nights and being so hungry.

"No, I want to stay here. If you don't want to, then forget it."

"You really are my nemesis, well... let's go then."

The woman feigned a shy demeanor and looked up, asking for a kiss.

But after waiting for a while, she saw no further action from the other party, and she felt that her breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, and her bones were creaking.

"You...let...me go..."

"Let go? Why? We've only just begun! I'm coming!"

Abel held him in his arms and pulled him close.

This is the ultimate move for any tough guy: the "cuddle-in-arms kill"!

The woman, who couldn't stand it even before it started, immediately revealed her true nature. Two wing-shaped feathers emerged from behind her shoulders and stabbed directly at Abel's head.

But it's too late to retaliate now.

Click!

The woman was bent into a strange shape, many bones were broken, her internal organs were all crushed, her eyes bulged out, and she died bleeding from her seven orifices.

The pair of 'wing-shaped' feathers drooped limply, unable to even touch Abel.

Abel looked down at himself, and after confirming that he hadn't been splattered with blood, he nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.

However, Abel returned shortly afterward.

Since he had just gone out and asked some passersby to confirm that this was indeed Area 11, there was no need for him to leave.

He first threw the woman's body into a trash can, and then found a partially eaten male corpse at the end of the alley.

This guy must be the unlucky one who was targeted by that female ghoul.

Because Abel suddenly appeared in the alley, the other party put down the food they had already obtained and came over to check the situation.

As a result, this very act cost him his life.

"Dude, I've essentially avenged you for you. Do me a favor tonight, and I'll find a way to send you home tomorrow for a proper burial. How about it?"

"Okay, I'll take your silence as a yes."

Abel dragged the body out and placed it in a relatively conspicuous spot, but one that wouldn't attract the attention of ordinary people.

Then he hid in a dark corner and used dark power to eliminate his own aura, as if he never existed.

Ghouls are usually very sensitive to the smell of flesh and blood, and soon a hip-hop youth was attracted to them.

After observing for a while and confirming that the body was indeed 'unclaimed,' he swaggered in.

"Ha, what good luck! I don't know who ate it, but it's still very fresh."

He put down his skateboard and couldn't wait to lie down and eat.

But he didn't notice that another figure was already standing quietly behind him.

puff!

A head rolled to the ground, its eyes still holding the excitement of before eating.

Just in case, Abel, wielding an ice blade, simply dismembered the man.

Some of the ghoul's blood flowed directly into the corpses on the ground, making the 'fragrance' in the air even stronger.

Soon, another dismembered body was found in the trash can.

Abel, on the other hand, continued to hide in the darkness, waiting for his prey to come to him.

He didn't know if this method was efficient or not, but it was only the first night anyway, so he figured he'd kill as many as he could.

Then he discovered that he seemed to be lucky, attracting a few ghouls every now and then.

Some are lone wolves, while others are small groups of two or three people.

In the end, as expected, they were all killed, dismembered, and thrown into the nearby trash can.

Just when Abel thought this move had great potential, it's unclear whether it aroused the vigilance of other ghouls or was purely coincidental.

An ordinary person walked in tremblingly, then saw the corpse on the ground and immediately screamed and ran away.

Soon after, the sound of police sirens rang out nearby.

Seeing this, Abel had no choice but to climb over the wall and leave.

With the police involved, once the guy's identity is verified, his family will be notified, which saves him a lot of trouble.

Is it really just a coincidence?

Abel didn't think so; it seemed more like a ghoul had sensed something was wrong, so he simply tricked an ordinary person into scouting the area.

It seems these guys aren't all that stupid after all.

Abel acknowledged the other person's intelligence and decided to think of other, more efficient methods.

The police arrived quickly and cordoned off the scene.

They then discovered a large number of bodies in a nearby trash can and immediately notified the CCG.

When the CCG investigators arrived at the scene, they also showed surprise.

The partially eaten corpse on the ground was clearly the 'food' that had been targeted, but what happened next to create so many dismembered ghoul corpses? And why were they all thrown into the trash can?

While reconstructing the scene, one of the investigators suddenly hesitated and said, "Do you think someone might be using this human corpse to... set a trap?"

"Huh? You mean... your own people are hunting ghouls?!"

Chapter 343 Humans stand on the left, ghouls stand on the right

"Have you heard, Mado-senpai? Recently, it seems there's been a guy in Japan who specializes in hunting ghouls. Everyone suspects it might be the work of one of our former investigators."

"And to be able to accurately locate and hunt so many ghouls, that senior must have been at least a senior investigator before leaving the company."

"No, he might just become a prospective Special Investigator!"

Amon Kotaro, dressed in a suit and sporting a neat buzz cut, spoke with a hint of wistfulness and admiration.

Sitting opposite him was a sickly man with a full head of white hair and a hunched back.

“Amon, don’t you know that when an investigator decides to leave his post, the Countermeasures Bureau will confiscate his 'Quinck'?”

"Or do you think a human without 'quinques' as weapons could easily kill so many ghouls?"

“I’ve already seen the ghouls’ corpses and the scene of the crime. Almost all of them were killed with a single blow. The ghouls didn’t even have to react before they were killed.”

Amon Kotaro paused for a moment, "What Mado-senpai means is..."

Mado Kureo immediately revealed an enigmatic and terrifying smile. "It's not just us investigators who hunt ghouls; sometimes those monsters also kill each other just like humans do."

"Ghouls killing each other? But what's the reason? If it's to devour their own kind, why would they just leave the corpses of the ghouls they killed lying there, utterly disdainful?"

Mado Kureo looked out the window and said in a low voice, "Who knows? After all, those monsters' thought processes are different from normal humans. Maybe they just have a 'like to hunt their own kind,' or maybe they're fighting for territory... Heh, who cares?"

“That makes sense. Senior Mado is indeed the most respected senior investigator in the CCG. I have learned a lot.”

"First Class, Yamen..."

"What's wrong, Mado-senpai?"

Has anyone ever told you that your flattery skills are terrible?

"Uh……"

"Have you finished eating? If you have, we're leaving."

"Huh? Oh, wait for me, Mado-senpai. Are we still going to the 20th ward today?"
