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

"What are you thinking? If you don't want to do it, then find someone else."

"Surely we can't afford to gamble at such a big casino?"

When everyone saw that their mentor was going to help them make more money, they immediately perked up.

The next dealer could only give his partner a look to hold on, and then quickly ran back to report.

If someone doesn't give him face, there's nothing he can do.

Either let them continue playing, or kick them out.

In the time it took to go back and forth, two more games were completed.

Abel had already won two hundred million Berries, and the others were making a fortune. They were completely blinded by greed and didn't even consider whether they had the ability to take the money away.

It would be interesting if you had the money but didn't live to enjoy it.

Some of the more level-headed people decided to cash out while they were ahead and hurriedly ran to the counter to exchange their chips for cash.

At this moment, the croupier who had left finally returned.

“Mr. Abel, our boss’s identity is rather sensitive, and he cannot appear in public. However, he is already waiting for you in the VIP room, what do you think?”

"Sensitive identity? That is indeed quite sensitive. Lead the way. Remember to exchange all these chips for cash and bring them over later."

"Okay, come this way, please."

Having achieved his goal, Abel stopped making things difficult for the other party.

On the contrary, the gamblers started to lament as if their own mothers had died.

They all urged Abel to stay and play a couple more rounds.

Little did they know that the croupiers around them had already memorized the appearances of these people. They could leave later, but they had to leave their money behind.

Some of these guys might even lose their lives.

Is it really that easy to make money in casinos?

As Abel ventured deeper into the space, he discovered that Crocodile had indeed amassed a considerable fortune over the years; otherwise, the interior decoration wouldn't have been so lavish.

"We've arrived. This is the place. Please come in."

The dealer led the person to the door of a certain room and then left.

Clearly, this is not a place he can enter.

Upon entering, the first thing you see is a very spacious reception room, followed by a viewing area separated by glass.

It houses dozens of ferocious banana crocodiles.

This banana crocodile can easily crush rocks and even feed on sea monsters.

It got its name because of the banana-shaped bump on its head.

At this moment, a figure is standing in front of the glass, watching these 'pets' eat.

People dressed in different ways, both men and women, were thrown in from above.

Among them were gamblers who couldn't repay their debts, incompetent employees, and tactless business rivals.

The ultimate value of these people is to become the banana crocodile's dinner.

Shah Crocodile: He would give his life to please the master of this place!

"Could I interpret this as a show of force against me? Mr. 0, or rather, Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Abel merely enjoyed watching the screams of these people, then, feeling utterly bored, sat down on the sofa and picked up a high-end cigar from the table to examine it, acting as if he were one of the guests.

"Didn't Doflamingo teach you the proper etiquette for visiting someone's home?"

Crocodile turned around, his face somewhat gloomy.

Combined with the previous scene of the banana crocodile eating people, most people would definitely be terrified and probably wouldn't even be able to speak properly.

But Abel wasn't buying it at all.

"Stop your probing, Crocodile. I've come to Alabasta only to handle some personal matters, and it has nothing to do with my captain."

"Personal matters? Don't tell me your personal matters involve bringing a bunch of reckless gamblers to win my money?"

Crocodile walked over and sat down opposite Abel, crossing his legs and placing them on the table, his tone and expression full of sarcasm.

If he didn't want to provoke a conflict between the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he would have already taken action.

Abel finished cleaning his cigar and lit one for himself. "If I don't make a scene, why would the mighty King of the Desert want to see a nobody like me?"

Chapter 434 The Spear of the End

"Hmm, the cigar tastes good. It's nice to try it once in a while."

Seeing this guy's fearless attitude, Crocodile couldn't help but frown slightly.

The more thoughts a person has, the more likely they are to overthink and overinterpret things.

Just like now, Crocodile was beginning to suspect that his plan had been discovered, which was why Doflamingo had sent this guy to test him.

However, he wouldn't act rashly without understanding the situation.

To put it bluntly, he has a guilty conscience, so much so that he becomes suspicious and paranoid at the slightest sign of trouble.

"There's a woman named Judith here with you, right? I'm taking her with me. Or I can take the two hundred million Berries outside and leave."

Abel got straight to the point.

Anyway, he can't take that money from outside, or rather, the other party never intended to give it to him in the first place.

Crocodile paused, "Judith? Who's that?"

He frowned at the other person, said nothing, but got up, opened the secret room, and then closed the door.

A few minutes later, he came out looking perfectly normal.

"That woman is indeed with me. You came to find me because of the bounty?"

Crocodile felt very confused.

I have a feeling that the other party's purpose is not just that.

But I can't think of any other explanation.

"No, what I want is that woman's soul."

"Soul? Interesting."

Crocodile laughed, and it was a cold laugh. He always felt that the other party was treating him like an idiot.

"You can have that woman's soul, but you have to leave her body behind. After all, that woman is worth a lot of money."

Crocodile said jokingly, wanting to see what this guy was going to do next.

Soon, a heavily made-up woman was bound hand and foot, blindfolded, and gagged, and pushed into the room.

It was none other than Judith, whom Abel was searching for.

This woman has had a rather unlucky time.

Upon discovering that the useless man was retaliating against her in such a suicidal way, Judith immediately realized the danger and escaped.

But where could a woman like her, all alone, possibly escape to in such a hurry?

Rain Banquet!

Having been out and about frequently, she immediately thought of a safe hiding place.

At least in her memory, no one dared to cause trouble there.

But she never expected that by doing so, she had completely walked into the lion's den, delivering herself right to its doorstep.

So the Baroque Works captured her with almost no effort and began to extract all her value before exchanging it for a bounty.

His subordinates had reported this matter, but Crocodile, whose mind was focused on 'Pluto', would never remember such a trivial matter.

Abel had mentioned the name earlier, and he only remembered it after making a phone call to inquire.

"The person has been brought; now it's your turn."

Crocodile gestured for him to proceed, waiting to see the spectacle unfold.

Abel chuckled, then pulled out his pistol and shot the struggling woman dead with a bang.

Crocodile's smile vanished instantly. He hadn't expected this kid to turn on him so quickly. They were fine just a moment ago, but suddenly he opened fire and killed someone.

He initially thought the other party was demanding the woman for a reward or to save someone.

But they were all wrong.

So, was there an existing grudge, or was someone else acting on behalf of someone else?

Crocodile's eyes flickered, but he didn't ask.

At this point, Abel gestured to Baby-5, asking her to check.

The little girl, who had been ignored all along, skipped over to the corpse, reached out and grabbed something as if she had grasped something round, like a ball.

Although Crocodile couldn't see it, he still had some guesses.

It really was for this woman's soul?

Is there something special about one soul that makes them different from another?

He was a little puzzled.

Then Baby-5 exclaimed excitedly, "That's it! A pure, jealous soul!"

Abel was first surprised, then delighted. "Not bad, it was worth the trip."

Seeing that Baby-5 had swallowed the soul whole, Abel decided not to waste any more time there.

"I'll keep the body for you to collect the bounty, but this woman's soul is mine."

After extinguishing his cigar in the ashtray, Abel rose to take his leave.

Crocodile didn't stop it either, because the whole thing was so strange and inexplicable that he really couldn't understand it.
