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

Crocodile hurled the whirlwind in his hand at himself.

The next moment, a violent sandstorm suddenly erupted!

In an instant, it completely concealed the two figures.

And it's getting worse!

The surrounding rocks were instantly pulverized with just a gentle roll.

It has to be said that Crocodile is indeed quite skilled; at least this move caught Abel off guard.

After an unknown amount of time, the sandstorm finally subsided.

Crocodile's figure also reformed, but his condition was now extremely poor.

The wounds on my right shoulder and left arm were bleeding continuously, and there was no sign of them healing.

In addition to the previous stab wound, which left a deep and long gruesome gash on his back, he was already seriously injured!

But in the end, the winner was still him, Crocodile, the King of the Desert!

Looking at the flattened, deserted sand dunes, Crocodile, covered in blood, couldn't help but cover his forehead and burst into laughter.

He couldn't believe that the other party could have survived the 'natural disaster' that had just occurred.

But reality is often this cruel!

boom! ! !

A golden dragon suddenly emerged from beneath the desert, opening a passage.

Then a figure jumped up from inside.

"What's on your mind that's making you laugh so hard? Tell me, so I can hear if it's really that funny."

Abel's clothes were now torn to shreds, and he casually ripped them off, revealing his perfectly muscular upper body.

His physique, which had undergone multiple evolutions, combined with the three times the defensive power of his White Walker form, and the protection of Armament Haki, meant that he did not suffer any substantial damage from the killing attack just now; he was merely buried under the sandstorm.

For most people, just being buried alive would be a death sentence.

But Abel used only one move, the Dragon Fist, to forcefully create a path to heaven!

He was now absolutely certain that the current king of the desert was no match for him.

"I'll use this move to finish you off!"

Abel brought two fingers together and touched his brow, preparing to unleash [Infinite One-Slash] to trap and kill his opponent with his domain.

But to his surprise, before he could release his domain, Crocodile's body was blown away by the wind, turning into a sandstorm and disappearing completely.

The last look he received was surprisingly calm.

"Escape?"

Abel frowned slightly and lowered his two fingers.

He didn't expect that the sand crocodile would actually escape.

Without the guaranteed hit of the Final Spear, and with this entire desert area, it's indeed difficult to completely eliminate it.

Alternatively, one should directly look for an opportunity to unleash a powerful move, such as using the Mokupati Mok to freeze time and space.

But then he thought about it again, and Crocodile's decisive choice to escape was indeed unexpected, so much so that he was unable to react in time.

"The historical text... two stone tablets..."

"I see."

Abel speculated that Crocodile's final decision to flee was likely because continuing the fight would greatly increase the chances of defeat and death.

The second reason should be the historical record that shows the location of Hades.

Crocodile now knows the location of one of the Poneglyphs, and has guessed that the other Poneglyph is in the royal palace.

Driven by this obsession, he strategically chose to flee, planning to return to the world after finding 'Pluto' and then take revenge.

This sand crocodile made this choice after its crushing defeat at the hands of Whitebeard, so it's perfectly normal for it to make the same choice again.

By placing all his hopes on external things, Crocodile is simply a complete failure at the moment, utterly unwilling to face reality.

Having guessed Crocodile's thoughts, Abel suddenly revealed a malicious smile. "Now that Robin, the only one who can decipher the ancient text, has been intercepted by me, I really want to know what that guy can do even if he really finds the Poneglyph that records the location of 'Pluto'."

Are we just going to stare blankly at those ancient characters?

In the end, it was destined to be a futile effort.

Moreover, it remains to be seen whether this sand crocodile will even survive until then.

He was hit twice by the End Shot, and the wounds could not heal.

If no solution can be found, then all we can do is wait to die.

Abel wanted to see just how much blood this sand crocodile could bleed.

In the end, we might have to beg him.

In short, he's got his hands on this sand crocodile; no one can save it!

Abel smiled, then jumped onto Big White's back and flew away into the air.

Chapter 440 Parasite

After causing chaos in Alabasta, Abel returned to the family settlement he was in charge of.

The next prayer order is about to begin, and if there's anything I need to collect, I should prepare in advance.

After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, we returned to our room.

Abel skillfully opened the system.

[Searching for prayer orders... Search complete!]

[Obtain an intermediate-level prayer order]

[Order Description: One day, many spores suddenly appeared in the sky above the Earth, followed by a series of brutal murders, and some people even claimed to have seen monsters with splitting heads!]

[Order Details: 1. Kill at least 100 Parasites and expose their existence to the public. 2. Kill the Golden Parasite (optional)]

[Basic order reward: 2000 trading points]

[Optional Order Reward: Parasite Alien (Available upon completion of the optional order)]

[Remaining order processing time: 4 minutes and 59 seconds]

[Note: Upon successfully accepting such a prayer order, an energy projection of the host's true form will be automatically generated and immediately projected into the order world.]

……

Abel knew about the world of Parasyte.

It's just that so much time has passed, and I've forgotten most of it.

All I remember is that this parasite was an alien species that could parasitize any creature, and after parasitizing such a creature, it had to eat the current species.

For example, if a parasite infests a dog, it will only eat its own kind, that is, dogs.

If it parasitizes a person, it will start eating them.

Because each parasite receives an order after it takes over the body of a species: eat that species.

It's like an instinct hidden deep in their genes.

When parasitizing, they usually aim to occupy the host's brain.

Of course, there may be special unexpected situations.

Furthermore, parasites can only survive by relying on the host's internal organs and digestive systems; they will die immediately if they leave the host.

Moreover, they have an extremely strong learning ability!

Besides that, what Abel also remembered was that multiple parasites could live inside the same host, with a clear division of labor.

Theoretically speaking, the more parasites inside a single host, the more powerful it is.

As for what the Golden Parasite is, he had no idea.

Could it be a variant of a parasite?

Or is it a special type of parasite?

We don't know for now.

It was something Abel needed to explore after his consciousness entered that world.

In addition, the main difficulty of this prayer order lies in finding those hidden parasites in the vast sea of ​​people.

After all, with Abel's current strength, these parasites pose no threat to him whatsoever.

Of course, if he were also parasitized, that would be a different story.

There's nothing more to say, just select "Confirm Acceptance".

Then when Abel opened his eyes again, he found himself in a modern city.

Looking up at the surrounding signs, I could tell that this was probably a city in Japan.

Knowing this much is enough; there's no need to delve any deeper.

Anyway, the order he needs to complete can be done anywhere, unless there are no parasites in the city, or they are all dead.

But that's obviously impossible.

As usual, he "borrowed" some money from a few thugs, then went to a convenience store to buy two packs of cigarettes and a newspaper.

Upon opening it, the front page headline was about the dismemberment case of a family of five.

Further down the list, the various murder cases, both large and small, are horrifying and unsettling.

Abel, however, nodded in satisfaction as he lit a cigarette for himself.

What does so many murders tell us?

Are there many parasites?
