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

These indigenous people were extremely obese and were carrying spear-like weapons.

"You're neither fledglings nor food, so who are you?"

The indigenous chieftain was the first to ask the question.

Seeing that communication was possible, Abel resorted to his previous lie: "I'm a merchant who happened to be passing by this island. Out of curiosity, I came up to take a look. Are you residents of this island? What is this place?"

"This is Treasure Island. Because it was taken over by a group of nasty strange birds, some people call it the Bird Kingdom. They also say that we are humans enslaved by those strange birds, so we drove them all away!"

The indigenous chief was somewhat angry, but he didn't make things difficult for them; he simply drove them away rather rudely.

"Foreign merchants, we have nothing to exchange here. You may leave."

"Are you going to cause trouble for those strange birds now? Perhaps you need something."

"Whatever you want, just remember to stay far away later. Those strange birds hate humans and will attack as soon as they see them."

After saying that, the indigenous chief hurriedly led everyone away.

Abel and Baby-5 followed at the back.

Soon after, two enormous, strange birds landed and began fighting with the local native humans.

It was only then that Abel was surprised to discover that what these natives were holding were not just simple metal spears, but rocket launchers that could be fired from the front and explode!

Moreover, these natives had set up a defensive line nearby beforehand, with a row of large-caliber cannons neatly arranged behind them.

They don't even have any clothes, yet they unleash such high-tech weaponry?!

This is so bizarre that it reminded Abel of a name.

Wakanda!

That technologically advanced African country in the Marvel universe.

On the surface, it's an incredibly backward little country, but in reality, it's incredibly powerful.

The two sides are very similar, especially in that they have such advanced technology and also like to use cold weapons like spears, which is almost identical.

Even though these natives were very well prepared, they couldn't withstand the extraordinary strength of these strange birds' feathers. Even if they were hit head-on by cannon fire, they would only suffer some minor injuries.

Those metal spears, which were fired like rocket launchers, could cause even less damage.

On the contrary, the beaks of those strange birds were extremely sharp; they could create a large crater with a single strike to the ground and easily shatter even stones.

Chapter 399 Sindolé and Colonel Rhino

With Abel observing without intervening, the match ended in a draw.

With a cry, the strange bird took to the sky.

The natives had no way to pursue them, so they could only gather the wounded and begin emergency treatment.

Abel thought for a moment, then took out Big White's compressed file from the system package and quickly activated it.

"This is my ship's doctor; perhaps he can be of some help."

He first explained to avoid any misunderstanding.

He's now genuinely interested in this place.

The natives did not refuse Abel's kindness, and after Big White joined them, its miraculous hemostatic skills and external wound treatments instantly won over many people.

All kinds of injuries are nothing compared to Big White.

The natives were grateful to Big White, and incidentally became even more friendly towards Abel, who was Big White's captain.

Subsequent communication became much easier.

Through their interactions, Abel discovered that these natives, though seemingly backward, actually possessed a high level of technology (in terms of weaponry), extensive medical knowledge, and had even established a library.

That feeling of déjà vu, like Wakanda, is getting stronger and stronger...

Using the light of the Great White, Abel and Baby-5 also entered their tribe for a visit, including their library.

It feels incredibly magical.

Then he learned the reason why the people here were fighting the strange bird.

The locals needed the plants in the trees to make medicine, but after those strange birds flew in from outside and took over the area, it became very difficult for them to collect the medicinal herbs there.

Those strange birds also have a strong sense of territory. When they saw such a large group of people invading their nest, they naturally fought back and drove them away.

This is the origin of the contradiction.

As for the locals' claim that the strange birds seemed to hate humans, Abel estimated that they were very likely driven away by humans from other places.

Of course, he had no idea what the truth of the matter was.

There was no intention to help either side.

The weapons these natives used were more technologically advanced and more powerful than the munitions he brought.

Therefore, the arms sales are definitely not going to go anywhere.

But this was no challenge for Abel at all.

After Abel showed the natives the island's special products, such as the sound shell that could record speech, the light shell that could emit light, and the water shell that could store water, Abel...

The natives were immediately awestruck!

Their eyes seemed to be shining.

People are always filled with curiosity and longing for things they have never seen before.

In two words: I want it!

Because of their scarcity, Abel sold most of the Sky Island specialties to the other party.

But what if the other side doesn't have Berry?

So, under Abel's troubled expression, he traded many of the weapons and medicines he had made, and also made a copy of all the valuable knowledge on the island and took it with him.

Although it is unknown whether these natives are hiding.

As long as the final transaction result is satisfactory to both parties, that's fine.

Abel made a lot of money, and the other party didn't lose out either.

And there's a high probability that they still have some hidden treasures they haven't brought out yet.

After all, through this transaction, Abel discovered that these natives were not stupid at all; on the contrary, they were quite intelligent.

However, their emotional intelligence is relatively low, and they often say whatever comes to mind.

In summary, he wasn't tactful enough.

That's a perfectly normal thing.

If these natives were as sophisticated and tactful in their speech and actions as humans outside, he would suspect there was definitely something wrong with them.

With all his spoils, Abel once again sailed away.

However, they marked it on the nautical chart, so they might come back in the future.

Whether the struggle between the local natives and the strange foreign bird will come to a conclusion by then remains to be seen.

Then came another few days of sailing.

Abel finally saw the island of Cindolai, his target.

This is a very large island, home to three kingdoms: the Kingdom of Klus, the Kingdom of Warm Sunshine, and the Kingdom of Cold Moon.

The Kingdom of Krus is a member state of the World Government and is protected by the Navy, but it has to pay huge amounts of Celestial Gold every year, causing great suffering to its people.

Neither the Warm Sun Kingdom nor the Cold Moon Kingdom are member states of the World Government.

However, due to various reasons, the two countries have been at war for many years, resulting in widespread suffering among the people, making their situation even worse than that of the Kingdom of Klus.

However, whenever the Kingdom of Krus tries to take the opportunity to attack and annex one of these two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Warm Sun and the Kingdom of Cold Moon always quickly unite to fight against the more powerful Kingdom of Krus.

In addition, the island is located in a very good geographical location, with many ships passing by every day.

So even now, these three countries are still standing strong.

When Abel learned about the complicated situation on the island of Sintolai, he realized that it would be a good place to sell arms.

However, it is also very difficult.

According to the intelligence he obtained, all the weapons and ammunition used by the three countries on the island were contraband items that had leaked from within their navies!

Captain Rhino of the 101st Naval Division is the biggest arms dealer in this area.

This Rhino Colonel would always find various excuses and reasons to 'scrap' the weapons allocated to the branch base navy, which in reality meant selling them off.

Then they would label those who disobeyed as pirates and criminals to bolster their own achievements.

Then they requested economic and weapons aid from their superiors.

Because of his outstanding achievements and the fact that he had already bribed his superiors, he became increasingly arrogant and almost began to openly engage in this shady business.

They are not afraid of being reported at all.

The reason why kingdoms like Warm Sun Kingdom and Cold Moon Kingdom initially refused to give him face and buy weapons from him was that a large number of pirates would come ashore to attack every day.

Even though the navy was standing right next to them, they ignored him and even made comments with a smile.

But what can be done?

Since they are not member states of the World Government, the Navy has no obligation to protect either of them.

Left with no other choice, both the Warm Sun Kingdom and the Cold Moon Kingdom paid a price, sending gifts and promising to purchase weapons from Colonel Rhino in the future, thus finally settling the matter.

Since then, although pirates still occasionally cause trouble, there has never been a case of pirates coming in groups to cause destruction.

Anyone with eyes can tell what's going on.

The Kingdom of Krus was quite cooperative, showing great understanding from beginning to end.

Therefore, Colonel Rhino and the Kingdom of Krus have always been very close, and it is unknown what kind of agreement they have secretly reached.

Abel was thinking, should we just take out this rhinoceros colonel first?

But if that happens, things will escalate.
