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

Kuroro was also thinking about this question, mainly because he was unsure what role Hisoka played in all of this, and whether it was a trap set for him.

Furthermore, he has already gathered all members, and the operation will commence soon.

If he were to accept the challenge from the host at this point, regardless of the outcome, it would undoubtedly disrupt his plans.

So his answer was...

Chapter 391 A Strike After a Relaxation of Vigilance!

"I didn't expect you to actually come."

"I'm here to take you back; the troupe has a new goal."

"Are you planning to give up your status as the original poster?"

"I'm thinking of doing that, but I'd like to meet that person first and hear your advice."

"As expected of the leader, he always puts the interests of the brigade first."

Inside the Sky Arena, on the 246th floor.

Hisoka met Chrollo, who had rushed over overnight, and his tone was ambiguous, making it difficult to discern whether he was praising him or being sarcastic.

Because he had already figured out Kuroro's thoughts.

The reason for rushing here as quickly as possible is to make two possible decisions.

If you feel you can defeat the challenger without injury or with only minor injuries, then participate in the duel as the host.

This way, the impact of the incident can be minimized, so as not to disrupt his original plan, and there will still be enough time to go back.

However, if it is confirmed that the opponent's strength exceeds expectations, and forcibly participating in the duel would severely damage one's own strength, then one should decisively abandon the identity of the host and rush back to continue the unfinished plan.

Kuroro is a very rational person; he values ​​emotions but prioritizes reason even more.

He believed that even as the leader, he should not be above the interests of the guild.

And from the very beginning of the Phantom Troupe’s establishment, two things have always been emphasized.

1. Every member is part of the guild; what should survive is not the individual, but the guild.

2. My orders are the highest priority, but my life is not.

Therefore, Kuroro would never recklessly engage in a deadly battle with a powerful opponent just for the sake of being the leader of a tower, disregarding the entire team.

"If you want to hear my advice, then I suggest you go back now."

Even if you fight him with all your might, you may not be able to win.

"Besides, I was here first. Even if we're going to fight, it should be me first, right, my beloved commander?"

Hisoka stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips, his murderous aura almost overflowing uncontrollably.

Kuroro remained unmoved, but inwardly he was seriously considering the truth and meaning of Hisoka's words.

"So what about you? Aren't you going to come with me?"

“I joined that guy’s game, and if I leave now, it would be breaking the rules, and he would hunt me down to every corner of the world.”

"Of course, if the commander is willing to join forces with me to kill him, all problems will be solved."

The room suddenly fell silent.

Chrollo is seriously considering the collaboration that Hisoka proposed in a joking manner.

"I can't give you an answer right now; I need to see this person."

Kuroro stood up and walked out of the room.

……

dong dong...

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Kuroro, dressed in a black coat, pushed open the door and entered, as relaxed as if he were returning to his own home.

"Hello, I am Kuroro, the boss you are about to challenge."

“Abel, it seems I didn’t choose the wrong opponent.”

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Spiders usually hide in the shadows before catching their prey in their webs and rarely show themselves. Am I right, Mr. Spider Number 0?"

In that instant, a fierce killing intent flashed in Kuroro's eyes.

A surge of 'qi' burst forth, threatening to engulf the entire room.

But it had barely extended its reach when it was met with a fierce counterattack.

A terrifying aura of absolute dominance over heaven and earth suppressed him.

Kuroro was utterly shocked, feeling as if he were facing a true king.

They looked down on him, regarding him as an ant.

"If you want to start this match now, I'd be happy to oblige."

Kuroro's eyes flickered, and he deliberately withdrew his 'ki'.

Abel glanced at him, but did not pursue him further, and then withdrew his Conqueror's Haki.

This power is really useful.

Unfortunately, once the consciousness returns to its original body, it must be temporarily sealed away.

If you accidentally use it, you must kill all the witnesses.

Otherwise, if the news of his awakening of Conqueror's Haki were to reach Doflamingo or other members of his family, things would get interesting.

"excuse me."

Kuroro immediately got up and left.

He already had the answer, so naturally he wouldn't waste any more time here.

“Abel, I’ll remember that name. We’ll meet again someday.”

Before leaving the Sky Arena, Kuroro voluntarily relinquished his status as the leader of the tower.

According to the rules, Abel, who had already challenged him, automatically won and became the new master of the 246th floor.

And they qualified to participate in the fighting tournament.

The next fighting tournament will be held in five days.

That was definitely an extreme overtaking maneuver.

I almost missed it.

As for Hisoka, Kuroro tacitly agreed to let him stay.

After all, the appearance of such a troublesome figure would be a major variable in the Phantom Troupe's upcoming plans.

He couldn't gamble with the safety of the entire brigade.

Moreover, given the strength of the Phantom Troupe, the fact that they are only missing Hisoka is completely insignificant.

There wasn't much to pack, so Abel moved into the 246th floor all by himself.

Just as he was about to fulfill his promise and promote the receptionist on the first floor to his floor manager.

The wall behind him suddenly twitched, revealing Hisoka's cold face.

It turns out that after he entered the room using Kuroro's identity as the room's owner, he never left. Instead, he covered himself with a 'light illusion' and blended into the wall.

Because he knew that Kuroro would definitely choose to abandon this side, prioritizing the interests of the Phantom Troupe.

Then Abel must be the one to move in next!

This will also be the time when Abel is most relaxed in his vigilance.

Who would have thought he would hide in this house beforehand?

While Abel was making a phone call with his back turned, Hisoka pulled out a brand new playing card and applied 'ki' to it, making its edges even sharper.

He then immediately slashed across the back of Abel's neck, intending to behead him!

puff……

Abel certainly hadn't expected Hisoka to hide here first, but he sensed the danger when Hisoka launched his sneak attack.

With just a thought, the Ice Dragon Armor and Armament Haki firmly protected him.

Hisoka's card only managed to barely cut through a thin layer of the Ice Dragon Armor before there was no further progress.

"An unexpected attack. As a reward for your continued efforts, I will have someone find you the best doctor later."

"Also, it might hurt a little afterward, so please bear with it for a bit."

Abel turned around and gave Hisoka a terrifying smile.

The next moment, a large amount of cold air emanated from his feet, instantly freezing the entire room and leaving Hisoka with nowhere to escape.

Soon after, the receptionist received his call with some inexplicable requests.

Chapter 392 Let's All Attack Together

Abel kept his word and hired the best doctor for Hisoka.

In addition, he did not kill him; most of the injuries were superficial, so the doctor assured him that he could cure Hisoka within 3 days.

Of course, this was also due to the reward of tens of millions of jinni.

Given Hisoka's personality, he certainly won't give up easily.

Therefore, Abel had to give him this opportunity.

Soon, the grand biennial fighting tournament, also known as the "Fighter Festival," was about to begin.
