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

The smell of tobacco mixed with the strong stench of blood in the air... was quite strange.

But he had already gotten used to the smell.

On the contrary, the survivors almost vomited up everything in their stomachs.

It added another odor to the already unpleasant air.

Abel frowned and asked the female office worker next to him, "Did you bring your phone?"

"Oh? I brought it, I brought it."

"Remember to call the police when you go out later. Also, menthol cigarettes aren't suitable for you. You can try strawberry next time."

After saying that, Abel walked to the door he had locked, kicked it open with a single foot, and then disappeared into the night.

The female office worker and other survivors immediately followed suit and escaped, all showing expressions of joy at surviving the ordeal.

The female office worker remembered what Abel had just said and immediately took out her phone to call the police.

Before the police arrived, Mado Kureo and Amon Koutarou had already rushed to the scene after hearing the news.

The two men, carrying white suitcases, walked inside with wary eyes.

They did not lower their guard based on the words of the survivors outside.

Even if only one ghoul remains hiding inside, it's enough for them to pay with their lives. This is a lesson learned by countless predecessors who paid with their lives.

Even so, when they entered the bar, they were shocked by the hellish scene inside.

Bloodstains and severed limbs were splattered everywhere—on the walls, on the floor, and on the walls.

Various mutilated corpses were piled up haphazardly, and the strong stench of blood was overwhelming, making people want to vomit.

"Almost all the dead here are ghouls; there are very few human corpses. It seems that what those people outside said was true. Someone, whether friend or foe, saved them."

Mado Kureo made a preliminary judgment with some excitement.

Because his hatred for ghouls reached a crazy level, and he was a weapons-making fanatic, he was obsessed with quinques.

The 'Quinque' is made from one of the organs of these ghouls.

Seeing so many ghoul corpses now, he could hardly hide his joy.

He also felt a strong liking for the mysterious person he had never met.

Assuming the other party is indeed human.

"Yamen, search the inside immediately and be on high alert. There might still be some survivors hiding here."

"Yes, Mado, Superior Quality!"

Amon Kotaro activated the briefcase, transforming it into a 'Quinque' weapon, and carefully began searching the entire bar.

After some time, the two finally confirmed that all the ghouls in the gathering place had been eliminated.

It's unbelievable that one person could single-handedly take down so many ghouls!

"I really want to meet this guy."

Mado Kureo gave a sickly smile and licked his dry lips.

Chapter 345 A Kind Reminder

The next day, a portrait bearing a striking resemblance to Abel appeared on the desks of high-ranking CCG officials.

The official system could not find a matching target.

This is very surprising.

This suggests that the other party could not possibly be a CCG investigator, and even their human identity is in question.

Is it possible that it's an internal conflict among ghouls?

In the past, it was common for ghouls to fight each other.

But this time, something seemed a little unusual.

Ultimately, the CCG decided to send investigators to locate the other party and attempt to make contact.

Of course, this approach is extremely dangerous and requires experienced, veteran investigators to carry out the task.

However, when Mado Kureo found out, he took the mission first.

The reason was that he admired the other party's approach and felt that they could get along well.

Furthermore, he was confident that he could eliminate the opponent if they were a ghoul.

This inexplicable self-confidence successfully convinced his superiors to assign him this task.

He will also be given intelligence support.

Then, after the CCG retrieved the surveillance footage from Japan over the past few days, they quickly located the target using their vast manpower.

Or rather, the target never hid his thoughts.

Inside a Chinese restaurant in ward 11.

The plates piled up on Abel's table had reached a frightening height of several meters, drawing frequent glances from guests at other tables.

Even the shop owner was alarmed and came over to ask him if he was feeling unwell.

They were probably afraid that this person would end up overeating and dying in their shop, in which case they wouldn't be able to do business anymore and could just close down.

"I'm fine. This boiled pork slices is delicious. I'd like ten more servings."

"Then there's braised pork intestines, snow-white red bean paste, candied sweet potato... I'll have one of each to try first."

"By the way, make sure to clean the large intestine thoroughly. I don't care if you did it on purpose or by accident. If you dare to cause me trouble, I'll ruin your reputation."

"Okay, please wait a moment, I will inform the kitchen staff right away."

The boss quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and left.

When you encounter someone you can't afford to offend, of course you just do whatever they say.

Then someone else pushed the door open and came in.

"Welcome, how many of you are there?"

"Both of you."

"Okay, this way please, there are empty seats."

"I want to sit over there."

After saying that, Mado Kureo led the somewhat nervous Amon Koutarou toward the empty table next to Abel.

The restaurant owner hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not stop it.

After the two were seated, Kotaro Amon's hand was still tightly gripping the briefcase.

The two quickly finished ordering.

"This guy looks familiar. Do you often eat here?"

While waiting, Mado Kureo naturally steered the conversation toward Abel, who was eating.

In fact, his eyes were fixed on Abel's face, as if trying to see if the other was really eating it and whether he showed any discomfort or disgust.

Because ghouls feed on human flesh and blood, they cannot digest human food.

Even if they eat normally to disguise themselves as ordinary humans, they will quickly find an opportunity to vomit it out.

According to their CCG investigation and research, feeding ghouls human food is like feeding humans excrement.

Many ghouls have exposed their identities because they couldn't tolerate this.

After all, not everyone has the courage to eat shit.

And it's not enough to just eat it once; if you need to fool everyone around you, you naturally need to eat it every day.

Therefore, Mado Kureo is trying to use this method to identify the other party.

Abel glanced at him but didn't bother to acknowledge him at all.

Wearing these clothes and carrying two suitcases, they seemed to be afraid that others wouldn't know who they were.

Mado Kureo, who had made a fool of himself, didn't care. At least from what he had just observed, the other party didn't seem to be eating with any reluctance.

And knowing that they are eating excrement, would a ghoul create a persona of a glutton?

And you ate so much?

A short while later, Mado Kureo and Amon Kotaro's meals were also served.

The rest were all things Abel had ordered, and soon the table was filled with them.

Abel was eating with an elegant yet extremely fast pace.

Then the empty plates were stacked up again at an astonishing speed.

Kotaro Amon was dumbfounded; he didn't even bother to pick up the chopsticks that had fallen on the table.

An hour later, Abel wiped his mouth, paid the bill, and left amidst everyone's shocked gazes.

This money was naturally contributed by the ghouls he killed.

Many ghouls, after disguising themselves as ordinary humans, live like ordinary people, find a job, make friends, and have a partner.

Whether these friends and partners are seen as 'preparing rations' in his eyes is unknown.

In short, Abel still had some money on him, so he didn't have to worry about food or lodging.

Seeing them leave, Mado Kureo and Amon Koutarou exchanged a glance, then quickly paid their bills and followed them.

However, after chasing into an alley, they immediately lost track of their target.

"Mado-senpai, what do we do now?"

Amon Kotaro was somewhat annoyed.

Mado Kureo suddenly recalled the crime scene he had seen two days ago.

A dark alleyway, a dismembered corpse...
