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

The navy cannot simply stand idly by and do nothing about this.

That's a naval captain, even if it's just a branch captain, it's still a pretty high rank.

At that point, forget about selling weapons; Doflamingo will have to call him back immediately.

Doflamingo is currently in a honeymoon period with the World Government, and he certainly doesn't want to have a conflict with the Navy at this time.

Chapter 400 Annexation and Empty Promises

As they approached the port, Abel's ship quickly lowered its flag.

Upon arriving at the new location, he wanted to get a clear picture of the situation before taking any action.

Even if that rhinoceros colonel must die, perhaps there are other ways to kill him and then shift the focus to someone else.

So Abel took Baby-5 and Baymax and went straight to the island.

"If we can handle these three countries, we'll have essentially made a breakthrough in the initial stages. I wonder how those two are doing."

Abel wasn't concerned about Diamanti and Serka; he was just eager to see the show.

He had a feeling that there would be wine and stories when he got back.

We'll see who the unlucky one is.

"First, find a place to stay. The rest of you, spread out and send me every bit of information you can gather."

"Yes, Lord Abel!"

……

At this moment, in the Kingdom of Krus, the king was holding a grand banquet, summoning many beautiful women to sing and dance, all to welcome the arrival of one person.

"Sure enough, every time I come to Sindolai, your place is the most worry-free and comfortable!"

"Colonel Rhino, you flatter us. Your navy fights against those vicious and brutal pirates every day to protect innocent civilians. It is truly hard work. You deserve this small consolation."

"As expected of His Majesty the King, his words are indeed pleasant. But to think you can get rid of me with just one meal is a pipe dream!"

Colonel Rhino suddenly grinned and pushed the woman next to him away.

"Let's be frank, are you going to buy this batch of weapons or not?"

The king waved his hand, dismissing everyone else, then his face darkened. "Just three months ago, I purchased a batch of weapons from you. Have you forgotten?"

"Pshaw, that's ancient history. Just because you ate yesterday doesn't mean you won't eat today. Don't try to fob me off with that kind of excuse."

"Rhino! Am I just making excuses for you, or are you repeatedly treating me like a fool?!"

"Old man, I think you're tired of living."

"Heh, you promised me three years ago that you would help me annex the countries of Cold Moon and Warm Sun, so I helped you plug the huge hole after your failed arms smuggling operation. But what was the result? Every time, you used the pretext of helping me build up my strength to force me to buy arms from you."

"Colonel Rhino, everyone's patience has its limits. If you still don't show me your sincerity, then don't blame me for fighting you to the death."

"Do you really think that now that everything is settled, all those past issues will simply disappear?"

The king slammed his hand on the armrest of his throne, demonstrating in textbook fashion what royal majesty truly meant.

Even Colonel Rhino felt considerable pressure.

"This old bastard is serious... Should we just kill him right here and now...?"

"No, the old man dared to meet me alone; he must have a backup plan."

"Do we really have to cut off our own source of income?"

The rhinoceros frowned, beginning to weigh the pros and cons, and the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet.

He did say those words back then, and promised to help the Kingdom of Klus annex the other two countries.

But after overcoming the difficulties, he also sold the weapons to the Warm Sun Kingdom and the Cold Moon Kingdom.

Unlike the Kingdom of Klus, these two countries are constantly at war with each other, and their daily military expenditures are enormous.

Having tasted the sweetness of success, he naturally forgot all his previous promises.

If he really helps the Kingdom of Klus annex the other two countries, and there is no more war, who will he sell his weapons to?

"This old man has really given me a tough problem."

Colonel Rhino suddenly laughed heartily, "How could I possibly forget the King's help to me?"

"It's just that the military strength of the Warm Sun Kingdom and the Cold Moon Kingdom is not weak. In a one-on-one situation, they are no match for the Kingdom of Klus. But once war breaks out, the two countries will quickly unite, and they are not to be underestimated."

The king was no longer buying it and said expressionlessly, "I can still keep this batch of weapons, but I want to see your sincerity and the navy's actions."

“I know those two countries have purchased large quantities of weapons from you, so you are reluctant to give up this small amount of profit.”

"But we should always take a long-term view. The Kingdom of Krus is a member state of the World Government and a country with considerable influence in the South China Sea."

"From what I understand, there are still many countries at war. Is Colonel Rhino only interested in this small piece of land in Sindolai? Doesn't he want to sell arms elsewhere? To the whole South China Sea?"

Colonel Rhino's eyes widened in shock at the blueprint described by the other party.

Indeed, he initially only intended to use this method to amass wealth for himself.

But human greed is always growing without end.

Having these, one wants more.

Moreover, he did indeed use that wealth to get in touch with a powerful figure, enabling him to acquire more weapons.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have come back here after only three months to force a sale.

The Warm Sun Kingdom and the Cold Moon Kingdom are the main sources of the food, and they can no longer digest what he brought back this time.

Therefore, in order to continue to cling to that important figure, it is essential to explore new markets.

But the old man gave him a huge surprise!

"Yes, as long as I use their connections, I can sell the remaining weapons to other countries."

"At that time, I will surely be even more favored by that lord and will be able to obtain more goods. If this continues, the entire South China Sea will tremble under my rhinoceros's feet!"

Rhino was extremely excited. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. "I'll go back and gather manpower right now. Those two troublesome kingdoms are doomed. No one can stop me, Rhino, from saying this!"

"Alright, Colonel Rhino, please feel free to ask if there's anything you need my assistance with."

"Just remember what you said, otherwise..."

"Then I'll congratulate Colonel Rhino in advance on his business spreading throughout the South China Sea."

"Hahaha!"

After Colonel Rhino left, King Cluth couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"A mere colonel dares to try and get his hands on the entire arms trade in the South China Sea. He'll die without even knowing how he died."

"However, this guy is also a bastard who won't act until he sees the benefits. After we annex the two surrounding countries, we should give him a little taste of sweetness first to keep him in check."

"Then find a chance to kill this guy, and let him know that some people's money is not for him to touch."

The king had long been dissatisfied with Colonel Rhino, and he wouldn't have made such a big promise if it weren't to force the guy to take action.

Now we've finally managed to get them hooked.

But that doesn't mean the matter is over.

Chapter 401 A God-Sent Opportunity

Abel stayed in the room, reviewing the intelligence gathered by his men.

Well, basically nothing is usable.

Just when he was at a loss and couldn't find a good starting point, a series of good news came his way.

First, the Warm Sun Kingdom and the Cold Moon Kingdom were attacked by unidentified individuals who detonated the important warehouses where the two countries stored their weapons.

Then, a large group of pirates, having somehow obtained the information, landed in Sindolai, their target being these two countries.

Although the two countries, having lost their arms reserves, have not completely lost their ability to resist, they are struggling to deal with these pirates.

After all, these pirates are best at bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and kicking someone when they're down.

They will not engage in direct combat with the armies of the two countries; instead, they will resort to sneak attacks and various underhanded tactics to keep the two countries busy dealing with them.

In addition, the lack of subsequent arms reserves meant that the soldiers of both countries often fell silent after a few rounds of fighting.

Fighting these pirates with only a 'fire poker' in hand is just throwing your life away!

This sudden turn of events immediately made Abel realize that an opportunity had arrived!

Although we don't yet know who's behind this, we can't miss this opportunity.

……

The two kings of the Warm Sun Kingdom and the Cold Moon Kingdom have already started cursing angrily!

If at the beginning they genuinely didn't know who had blown up their armory and suspected the other side was behind it...

So when the familiar pirates attacked, and when Colonel Rhino, who had suddenly disappeared, stopped selling them weapons, they knew who was behind it all!

But what's the use of knowing?

Without enough weapons and ammunition to arm the soldiers, and with pirates roaming the country committing crimes everywhere, they are slippery and impossible to kill completely.

Innocent people are losing their lives every moment.

If a solution cannot be found soon, the two countries will soon exist in name only.

"We still can't get in touch with Colonel Rhino?" King Nuanyang VI asked his ministers with an air of authority.

"Your Majesty, not only can we not contact Colonel Rhino, but the people we sent have also been detained by the Navy."

"These recent events are definitely related to the other party; they might even have been orchestrated by that Colonel Rhino."

"That's right, that 'vampire cow' is definitely trying to force us to submit!"

"We can't let that guy lead us by the nose anymore."
