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

"The Fruit of Multiple Layers? Forget it. Fujitora is someone he admires, so there's no need for that."

"Or should we wait until later to find an opportunity to kill that old lady and get the Soul-Soul Fruit?"

"Should we research a Logia-type Devil Fruit, kill Akainu, destroy Kizaru... or simply bring out the Great Buddha from Sengoku period?"

"Damn, this is getting more and more outrageous!"

Abel thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with a solution, mainly because there were many choices, but also very few.

Basically, all the powerful Devil Fruits he could think of had already been eaten, and they were either by the Four Emperors or by the Navy Admirals and Fleet Admirals. What was he going to do?

If he can already punch and kick the Four Emperors and kick the Admirals, then what's the point of having a Devil Fruit?

Just push through and you're done!

As things stand, the Dark-Dark Fruit, whose whereabouts remain unknown, seems to have the best chance of being obtained.

It's all about luck...

"Forget it, there's no rush anyway. Let's wait and see. Maybe we'll come across a Devil Fruit that's perfect for us sometime."

Although it's still uncertain whether this idea can be realized, there's only one [Golden Parasite Alien], and Abel wouldn't just randomly try out any Devil Fruit.

After putting his things away, he opened the newly refreshed system shop.

After looking at it from beginning to end, I found two items that were worth buying.

Product: [One-Day Training Card] (Blue)

Disposable items

Description: Products from our system are guaranteed to be of high quality!

Effect: After use, the host will enter a special space specifically for training. There will be no cost to any training in this space, and the training will last for 24 hours.

Price: 200 trading points

Quantity: 10

P.S.: I already know you like weightlifting, so go ahead and enjoy it.

……

Item: [Intermediate Skill Upgrade Card] (Purple)

Disposable items

Description: Products from our system are guaranteed to be of high quality!

Effect: This skill will increase the level of skills below LV6 by one. (Does not apply to exclusive skills.)

Price: 1000 trading points

Quantity: 1

P.S.: Do you really understand?

……

I spent a total of 3000 transaction points and got them all.

At this time, Abel still had 16390 trading points.

He glanced at his dwindling lifespan and simply bought all 90 remaining hearts, adding another 90 years to his life.

The space for special products will also be left empty.

So as not to miss the opportunity to get special items in the future.

Anyway, he still has plenty of trading points to spare, and it's still a long way from upgrading to advanced trading qualifications.

After deducting 9000, Abel had 7390 trading points left.

It is more than enough to handle any unexpected situation.

Looking at the suddenly abundant lifespan displayed on the panel, Abel felt a sense of satisfaction and peace of mind.

The Intermediate Skill Upgrade Card was used directly on Dragon Fist, upgrading it to LV4.

He will save the remaining [One-Day Training Cards] for later use. This extra training time will become his capital to surpass one strong opponent after another.

……

The following day, Abel, who was engrossed in training, received a mission from Doflamingo.

He was tasked with escorting a group of slaves to the auction house at No. 1 Sabaody Archipelago.

Although Abel was somewhat averse to this task, he had no way to refuse it.

Moreover, even if he didn't send them away, someone would still send these slaves to be auctioned off.

So he could only take Baby-5 aboard the family's smuggling ship and head towards the Sabaody Archipelago.

Because of the long distance, coupled with the harsh weather and endless pirates on the Grand Line, it is necessary to have officers on board. Otherwise, the ship would probably be destroyed and everyone would die before they even reached their destination.

A total of three smuggling ships and hundreds of slaves of different races.

Since boarding the ship, Abel has been immersed in training and has not paid attention to anything else.

No one else dared to disturb him.

Unless something happens.

"Lord Abel, there is a pirate ship on our left that seems to have spotted us and is heading towards us."

"Has the family banner been raised yet? Do you know which pirate crew it belongs to?"

"They've already taken off, but they haven't slowed down or changed course. Judging from their flag, they should be the Swordfish Pirates, and their captain is 'Rapier' Luke, with a bounty of 6500 million Berries."

"Keep driving and see what this 'Rapier' Luke is up to."

Abel continued to work up a sweat, completely ignoring that 'rapier' Luke.

The other side, however, had already taken these three ships as their spoils of war.

"Captain, that's a Don Quixote family smuggling ship over there. Should we really make a move?"

"Nonsense! The Donquixote Family's smuggling business is growing bigger and bigger. Why would we go out to sea and be pirates if we didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity!"

"Rapier" Luke continued dismissively, "If Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, were on the ship, I would turn around and run away immediately."

"But in the end, it's just three smuggling ships. I don't believe Doflamingo can create clones."

"Besides, there's nobody around here. As long as we keep a low profile afterward, who will know it was us?"

Everyone agreed that this made sense.

Those who dare to venture into the Grand Line are rarely cowards before they suffer a brutal beating from the powerful forces at sea.

Because that coward left long ago and went back home to farm.

Damn, let's do it!

A group of people stared greedily at the approaching ships; clearly, the title of Shichibukai couldn't intimidate everyone.

Chapter 451 That's it? All flash and no substance.

"Lord Abel, the enemy is within firing range. Shall we open fire?"

"No need, let them come over."

Abel thought for a moment, put down the training equipment, then picked up a towel to wipe his sweat and drank a glass of juice.

I almost missed the Swallow-Swallow Fruit last time, so I can't be so rough next time.

Kill everyone, loot all the spoils, and then sell the pirate ship for money—wouldn't that be great?

That head can also be exchanged for a lot of bounty, completely squeezing out every bit of its value.

Abel donned the 'Suit Thug' outfit, put on the 'Sea King Sunglasses', casually picked up the [Onimaru] beside him, and walked out.

At that moment, the Swordfish Pirates approached and charged forward.

"Kill them all! So what if we're the Seven Warlords of the Sea? Who'll know it was us!"

That's true, but they're overestimating themselves a bit.

"Another bunch of reckless fools."

As soon as he finished speaking, Abel vanished from the spot.

Swish, swish, swish...!

A flash of light, and more than a dozen heads flew into the air!

The Swordfish Pirates were startled, but they gritted their teeth and launched a counterattack, with gunfire erupting.

Abel, meanwhile, strolled leisurely amidst the hail of bullets, demonstrating what it meant to slice through lead bullets with a knife.

Each lead bullet was precisely split in two from the middle.

This incredible scene greatly damaged the Swordfish Pirates' confidence, and they all looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Upon seeing this, Luke, who was originally at the back, immediately realized that something was wrong; the other party must be a member of the Donquixote Family!

However, just as he expected, there was only one cadre in charge.

How could Doflamingo possibly be here?

Kill him!

Everything is proceeding as planned!

So Luke the 'Rapier' immediately rushed out from behind the crowd. He was incredibly fast and arrived in front of Abel in a flash, his sword flashing coldly as he pierced Abel's heart.

If he didn't have some skill, he wouldn't have been able to have a bounty of 6500 million Berries and the title of 'Rapier'.

Just like what happened earlier, his sword was fast, and the thrusting sword was even faster!

Any pirate with a net worth less than 100 million Berries would probably have already fallen victim to this.

However, according to Abel's Observation Haki, the opponent's speed could only be described as slightly fast, but not noticeably so.

He didn't even stack any buffs; he easily dodged the swift, swift thrust with a sidestep.
