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

"May I have your name."

"Kira."

Chapter 369 Twenty Years

"Where is this place? Hell? Tch, it's nothing special, not as scary as I imagined."

"Kidd, you're finally awake! That's great!"

"Kira? So he didn't escape after all? Oh well, it's good to have you with me. As long as the two brothers work together, even hell will be trampled under our feet."

"Uh... what nonsense are you talking about? Did your brain get damaged from the beating? We're not dead, we're alive and well."

"what?!"

Kidd suddenly sat up in bed and realized that although the surrounding environment was unfamiliar, it was still the layout of an ordinary house and had nothing to do with hell or anything like that.

Moreover, he discovered that all the injuries on his body had disappeared.

Was I dreaming before?

That dream was absolutely terrifying.

"What exactly is going on?"

"We were saved by Boss Abel. Also, I want to apologize to you for making decisions without your permission..."

Kira quickly recounted what had happened after Kidd fell unconscious, leaving Kidd with a rather interesting expression.

"You mean Ivan and all his men were killed, and then you went to beg that guy named Abel to save me, in exchange for both of us signing 20-year contracts of servitude?"

Kira nodded. "You were about to die then, and I had no other choice. But Abel was a truly amazing person; he only gave you half a bean, and he healed all your wounds."

"According to Boss Abel, it was an extremely precious item. As long as someone had a breath left, it could save them. He only had half of it left."

"If that's really the case, even if we were to sell the two of us, it wouldn't be worth as much as half a bean."

Kidd paused for a moment after hearing this, then said, "I don't blame you; you did it to save me. But I can't let you lose your freedom like this."

“Go away, Kira. All those 20 years of your life are on my shoulders. Anyway, I got this life for free, so I'm not at a loss.”

run away?

Kidd had considered this possibility, but since the other side could easily kill Ivan and his gang, they could also easily find them.

That will bring bad luck to everyone on East Street.

Furthermore, regardless of the circumstances, that guy named Abel did indeed save him and Kira.

This kindness must be repaid.

Kira was somewhat angry. "I've already deserted once, do you want me to do it a second time?!"

"We are friends, we are brothers! No matter what happens, we will face it together!"

"Besides, it's only 20 years. We'll only be thirty by then, and we'll have plenty of time to achieve your dreams together."

Kidd was somewhat persuaded.

Twenty years may sound like a long time, but in 20 years, they will only be 30 years old.

That was the prime of a man's life, when he was young and strong.

When that time comes, they will certainly be able to pursue their dreams once they regain their freedom.

Having come to terms with it, Kidd's expression improved considerably, and he was no longer so resistant.

At that moment, the door was opened from the outside.

A tall, handsome man walked in, a cigarette between his fingers.

"Now that you're awake, get out there and get to work. You should be grateful to have such a good brother. If Kira hadn't begged me to save you, you'd probably be buried underground by now."

"I know, you don't need to tell me that."

Kidd is a fearless person who dares to provoke anyone he meets.

"Very good, that's unique."

"But it seems Kira hasn't told you about my rules yet."

"From now on, call me boss. Do whatever I tell you to do, and don't ask why."

"As for the rest, I'll tell you when I remember them."

"Oh, I almost forgot. There will be punishments for breaking the rules I set."

"Kidd didn't call for the boss just now, so the punishment is 500 push-ups."

Kidd still looked defiant. He glanced at Abel, then lay down to start doing push-ups.

However, before it could even begin, it was stopped.

"It's not your turn to do it; Kira is the one who will be punished."

"Why?!"

“Now there are a thousand. My punishment mechanism is that whichever of you makes a mistake, the punishment will fall on the other. Brotherly love? I want to see if you really care about each other.”

Abel chuckled, then said like a devil, "Kira, a thousand push-ups. Start now, or you won't get dinner tonight."

"Kidd, you just stand there and count. If any movement is not standard or the number is missing, it doesn't count as finished."

"Of course, you can deliberately cover it up for your good friend, just betting on whether I will find out."

After saying this, Abel left, humming a folk song from his hometown.

For him, although he lost the last half of the Senzu Bean, it wasn't a complete loss.

Kidd and Killer will both be his good helpers when they grow up.

The proposed 20-year timeframe was simply to make it more acceptable to them.

People only have motivation when they have hope.

As for what happens 20 years later, when Kid and Killer want to leave...

Of course, we let them go!

No one would think that he can't conquer the world in 20 years.

Inside the house, Kidd, looking grim, was calculating the odds for Kira.

Kira already had injuries, and even with treatment and bandaging, they wouldn't heal in just a few hours.

Then you have to keep doing push-ups.

Soon after, his face turned pale and he began to sweat profusely, and his arms started to tremble.

The worst part was that as he gritted his teeth and strained, the wounds on his body burst open, staining the bandages red.

"Kira, stop! Stop! I'm going to find that guy..."

"Don't go! Kidd, do you think we have the right to negotiate with the boss right now?"

Kidd paused for a moment, then said with a look of great struggle, "It's all my fault. I won't provoke that... boss again."

"I don't think it's a big deal. After all, we're brothers. If you make a mistake, I'll take the punishment for you. It's fair. Next time, I'll stand up for you, and then you can take the punishment for me."

"Okay... Kira!"

Kira immediately fainted.

Hearing the noise, Baby-5 came in carrying a first-aid kit and said in a spoiled tone, "Get out of the way! We just finished bandaging it up, and now we have to redo it."

Kidd, his face flushed red from the rebuke, dared not utter a single word.

They even obediently moved aside.

"You two are such a worry. I can't understand why Abel would save you both."

"It's fixed. I hope there won't be a next time."

Baby-5 even tied a pretty bow on the strap at the end. Although she kept complaining about how troublesome it was, she didn't just do it half-heartedly.

As she left, Kidd finally managed to squeeze out a thank you.

"Thank Abel if you want, otherwise I won't care whether you live or die, hmph!"

Chapter 370 List of Healing Programs

"Hey, have you heard? A foreign arms dealer has opened a shop on the island. And he's having a grand opening sale: everything is half price today, 6% off tomorrow, 7% off the day after, until prices go back to normal!"

"Holy crap, who's this guy who dares to openly sell weapons in a place like this? Aren't he afraid of being robbed?"

"They probably have something to back them up, who knows?"

"Several of the most powerful pirate crews on the island have sent people to scout the situation. Are you going or not?"

"Of course we should go! If a fight breaks out, we might even have a chance to pick up some bargains."

"Hehe, I love this free purchase!"

"Let's go, let's go and watch the fun."

……

West Street, which was originally occupied by Ivan and his gang, now belongs to Abel.

He then connected the several shops, did some simple renovations, and turned them into the weapon shop they are today.

The outsiders brought by the family took on the role of salespeople, while Kid and Kira, having changed their clothes, became doormen.

The opening of the new store attracted a large crowd of people who stood around watching the excitement, including many familiar faces whose names they could name.

Whenever they saw the surprise and astonishment in each other's eyes, they both felt so ashamed that they wanted to disappear into the ground.

Unfortunately, Abel didn't give them that chance at all.

"Cheer up, everyone. Today is the opening day of the new store. You don't want to be punished by doing a thousand frog jumps in public, do you?"
