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

That was just a trick they used to scare the children, to buy themselves some time.

It’s so bad!

In no time, a portrait was finished.

It looks about 6-7% like 'Alucard', but the features of the clothes and gloves are captured very accurately.

Cobra intends to use this portrait to determine the other party's identity.

However, not long after, the investigation results came out, and it was found that no valuables were missing from the palace.

Instead, they caught some maids and guards with dirty tricks.

This made Cobra even more puzzled. What exactly did the other party want to do?

Chapter 437 Friendship-Breaking Fist

In the vast desert, Abel stood waiting with Baby-5.

Waiting for Baymax's return.

Not long after, Big White, flying close to the ground, returned from a distance, carrying a small radar in its hand.

【Precious Metal Miniature Radar - Modified】(Purple)

Equipment items

Description: The finished product modified by a scientist according to the order requirements.

Effect: When activated, it can detect common types of precious metals or manually entered special materials. The detection radius is increased to one kilometer, and the detection effect ignores any obstructions.

……

The “Precious Metal Miniature Radar” was an item that Abel suddenly remembered, something that had been gathering dust for a long time.

However, this device was originally only capable of detecting common types of precious metals, with a detection radius of only 100 meters, and its detection effectiveness would be weakened when it encountered obstructions.

So when he took it out, it had no effect.

However, Abel felt that if this thing were upgraded, it might come in handy in the future.

So he spent 500 trading points to post a wish order and added a trading reward of 500 trading points. Anyway, he had accumulated quite a few posting opportunities, so using it once wouldn't be a waste.

In the end, it's equivalent to spending 1,000 transaction points to buy this [Precious Metal Small Radar - Modified], a purple-quality item, so it's a break-even deal.

Abel then used this device to input the historical text from the stone tablets. It took him about ten minutes to successfully input the text.

This also means that there will be concrete means to find historical texts in the future.

However, it is still necessary to know the approximate location beforehand, otherwise it will still be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Just like now, Abel is having Big White carry this thing, flying back and forth across the desert. As long as they have patience, finding the buried historical text is only a matter of time.

After countless flights, Big White finally sent back good news.

A red dot has appeared on the [Precious Metal Miniature Radar - Modified]!

Abel immediately followed with Baby-5 and arrived above the red dot.

"It should be right here."

Abel took a deep breath, aimed at his feet, and unleashed a Dragon Fist!

The ferocious golden dragon immediately smashed through the sand layer and plunged into the ruins below.

There aren't many valuable things inside; the most important thing is that piece of historical text, the contents of which are unknown.

Therefore, Abel was not worried at all about causing damage to the things below.

Because the stone used to carve the historical texts is one of the most durable and indestructible materials in the world.

Holding his breath, Abel jumped directly into the deep pit below.

The modified radar is indeed effective and very accurate.

A historical text engraved with ancient script stands there quietly.

Abel showed no excitement and calmly took out his tools to begin making the rubbings.

I was thinking that this trip to Alabasta had been somewhat fruitful, and it wasn't a wasted trip.

Then a huge and sharp blade of sand sliced ​​through the ground, heading straight for Abel behind him, intending to split him in two.

Sensing the danger, Abel dodged to the side in time, letting the sand blade crash into the Poneglyph.

With a loud bang, the historical inscription stone tablet remained completely undamaged.

Abel put down the rubbing for the time being and turned to look at the person who came.

"As expected of the 'King of the Desert,' even his way of greeting is so unique."

Abel said with a hint of sarcasm.

The person who arrived was none other than Crocodile, who was always suspicious and paranoid.

"The Poneglyphs... I knew your real purpose in coming here wasn't for that woman's damn soul. So you know the exact location of the Poneglyphs."

"You were the one who broke into the palace to steal things a while ago, right? So there's more than one Poneglyph hidden in Alabasta, there are two, right?"

Crocodile, a cigar dangling from his mouth, wore an arrogant expression that seemed to say, "I've seen right through you."

As the country's 'hero' and the head of the Baroque Works, he was well-informed about everything that happened in the country, including all the big and small matters in the royal palace.

In addition, he had suspected the other party's motives from the beginning, so he immediately realized that something was wrong.

After discovering Abel and his companions' whereabouts, he chose to personally follow them.

In the harsh desert environment, hiding himself was an incredibly easy thing for him; it was almost impossible for him to be discovered.

Abel was indeed unaware that Crocodile had been following him and monitoring him.

Even if Abel knew, he probably wouldn't care.

"Hand over a rubbing of the other piece of the historical text, and I might leave you with a complete corpse."

With the whereabouts of 'Pluto' at stake, Crocodile could not be too cautious and would never allow the other party to leave alive.

Even handing over the rubbings is not acceptable.

After all, no one knows exactly how many copies the other party made.

Moreover, the other party knows the location of the two historical texts and can bring people to seize them at any time.

So this guy has to die!

But before killing this guy, we need to force him to reveal the location of another rubbing of the Poneglyph.

"If you want it, come and take it yourself. I'd also like to see for myself whether the 'King of the Desert' truly lives up to his name."

Abel put down what he was holding, signaled to Big White to continue making the prints, and then extended his right hand.

Baby-5 instantly transformed into a white light and became a nearly two-meter-long knight's lance, which it held in its hand.

The knight's lance is spiral-shaped, and the shaft appears to be made of multiple cyan metal strips woven together, which then scatter randomly at the end.

The gun handle is connected like bamboo joints, with mysterious black patterns wrapped around the dark gray background.

This is the Knight Lance form of the Demon Weapon!

"A Devil Fruit that can turn into a weapon? No wonder you carry such a 'burden' with you wherever you go."

Crocodile's eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't seem to take it to heart.

Thrust!

Using his powerful burst of strength, Abel instantly crossed the distance between them and arrived in front of his opponent, then thrust out with his spear.

Even Crocodile was taken aback by this speed.

The knight's lance pierced Crocodile's chest with perfect ease, yet not a drop of blood was drawn.

That's because Crocodile actively used Elementalization to avoid that shot.

It appeared to hit the mark, but in reality, it missed.

Just as a mocking smile appeared on Crocodile's face, Abel stepped forward again and swung his right fist hard.

"It's no use, I am..."

Bang! ! !

Before he could finish speaking, Crocodile, who was standing there posing as if he were something special, was punched in the left cheek.

If there were a slow-motion replay, you could see the spectacular scene of his face being distorted by the blows.

Chapter 438 A guaranteed hit that even elemental transformation can't avoid!

"Who are you? Damn it, how about learning Armament Haki first?"

Abel spat on the ground in disdain.

What he hates most is people who are even more pretentious than him.

See one, smash one!

Crocodile, who had been sent flying, was still a little dazed when he got up from the ground.

"Good, very good, you have successfully angered the king of this desert!"

"Erosion of reincarnation!"

Enraged, Crocodile pressed his right hand against the ground, absorbing all the moisture from the earth he touched, which then gradually spread outwards.

The buildings in the surrounding ruins gradually turned to sand and sank, and even the rocks turned to dust.

"Big White!"

Upon receiving the instruction, Baymax quickly put away the copied text, then switched to superhero mode and swiftly carried Abel out of the deep pit.

Crocodile, playing at home, certainly has a significant advantage.
