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

"what do you say?"

"Ha ha……"

Yvette, who was being stared at by Abel with his mosquito-coil eyes, could only give an awkward smile and explain in a low voice, "Hancock sneaked out this time because she wanted to help me."

Abel took a deep breath and then instructed in a very serious tone, "Since you snuck out, hide well and don't let anyone find out."

"Also, whatever your plans are, you are absolutely not allowed to cause me any trouble before I complete my mission, understand?"

Yvette nodded quickly, "I know, so we'll make our move after you've finished the handover and left."

Hearing this, Abel's expression softened slightly. "Not bad, at least one of them isn't stupid."

"Just the two of you, are you confident? Hancock's identity is a bit sensitive. Are you sure she won't be stripped of her Shichibukai title if she's discovered?"

"Hancock won't be discovered, at least I'm confident of that."

"It seems you've grown a lot in the past two years."

"Then I must thank the Celestial Dragons..."

Because Hancock was present, the two only discussed business and cleared up the misunderstanding.

Now that no one was bothering her, Yvette finally began to talk about her experiences over the past two years.

Abel was taken aback when he learned that this woman had done so much and suffered so much.

This shows that he is preparing to dedicate his life to the liberation of slaves.

I admire him a little, but I know he definitely couldn't do it.

There is no soul as noble as that.

"Fischer Tiger truly changed the fate and lives of many people, and deserves the title of hero."

When Fisher Tiger was mentioned, Abel also gave him a word of praise.

"It's just a pity that Captain Tiger suffered too much psychological trauma and is no longer able to build a foundation of trust with humans. That's why he only kept the fish-men and sent all the other humans away when he established the Sun Pirates."

Yvette said with some disappointment, after all, she genuinely wanted to follow him.

Abel couldn't say anything about this, and could only comfort him by saying, "Although the Sun Pirates have disbanded and Fisher Tiger has been imprisoned in Impel Down, there will always be people who inherit the spirit of this fish-man hero."

"That's right, I've been waiting for this person to appear."

Abel chuckled and said, as if joking, "Why can't that person be you? Don't forget, you were also the one he personally rescued from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise."

"If there is anyone in this world who can inherit Fisher Tiger's spirit, then perhaps no one is more qualified than you who have also experienced that terrible hell?"

Abel's casual remark stunned Yvette.

"Me? I can't do it..."

"why not?"

Yes, why not?

Yvette asked herself the same question.

"There's no need to make a decision right now. You can wait and see, but someone has to step up eventually, right?"

After saying this, Abel turned and left, leaving Yvette alone to ponder.

Since someone has to step forward, why can't that person be me?

Chapter 458 The Altered Memories

The Sabaody Archipelago is located in front of the Red Line in the middle of the Grand Line, very close to Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.

The world's largest mangrove tree, the Yarchiman mangrove, formed the Sambaudet Islands because its roots were always exposed above the water.

The entire island is made up of 79 trees (each numbered), and each tree has a town and facilities.

Since it is the only way to the New World, many pirates, merchants and bounty hunters gather here.

Of course, there are also many human traffickers who buy and sell humans, and mermaids and fish-men are tacitly allowed.

In a sense, the island is decaying.

Therefore, some people call this place the "Island of Failure" and the "Island of Starting Again".

Areas 1 through 29 are lawless zones, mainly containing human trafficking shops and human auctions.

Abel was heading to the largest population auction house located at Tree 1.

After the ship arrived at the designated location, Abel sent his second-in-command to inform the other party to come and inspect the cargo.

Soon, a man with a mustache, who was in charge, arrived with a group of his men.

"Don Quixote family goods?"

"Correct."

Upon meeting the person, Abel didn't waste any words and directly handed over the transaction voucher. The other party took it, verified its authenticity, and then nodded.

He said to the people he brought behind him, "The transaction documents are fine, inspect the goods."

Abel also signaled to his deputy to cooperate with the other party's work.

One by one, the slaves were brought off the ship. After a brief examination to ensure they were not sick or seriously injured, they were fitted with explosive collars around their necks, black hoods were put on their heads, and they were taken aside.

In addition, there are people specifically responsible for comparing the lists; everything is very streamlined.

The hundreds of slaves were all gone through very quickly.

"The check is correct, there are no problems. Here is the payment, please check it."

A moment later, the deputy nodded to Abel, "The number is not a problem."

"Money and goods settled, transaction complete."

Without saying a word, the other party immediately left with the slaves.

There's absolutely no need for pleasantries or formalities. It would be more appropriate if Doflamingo himself came. He's seen plenty of lowly officers.

Abel was naturally happy to have some free time.

Then he didn't rush to leave, but instead took people to Zone 40, where there were tourist areas, specialty shops, and so on.

We've come all this way, we can't just go back empty-handed.

The others were also eager to join in.

As usual, Abel gave the group some instructions, set a meeting time, and then announced that they were dismissed.

The procurement of supplies should be left to the deputy.

Bubble cars, bubble Ferris wheels, houses built on bubbles... bubble culture has permeated almost every corner of this place.

It's dazzling and breathtaking!

Abel had a good time playing with Baby-5.

Of course, he didn't forget to call Doflamingo via Den Den Mushi to report the good news that the mission was completed.

To avoid any problems arising later that could implicate him.

While Abel and Baby-5 were enjoying their time in the Sabaody Archipelago, Hancock and Yvette, who had disembarked earlier, were secretly following the auctioneers, looking for an opportunity to make their move.

"We can't wait any longer. If we go any further, we'll reach the auction house, and we might be spotted at any moment."

"Alright, you can come out after I've brought them all under control."

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Hancock immediately went around to the front and blocked their way.

"who?"

Hancock removed the black robe she had been using as a disguise, revealing her stunningly beautiful face and her graceful figure encased in a high-slit cheongsam.

Am I beautiful?

Almost simultaneously, everyone in the auction house, except for the slaves who were hidden by hoods, felt their hearts race and their eyes turn into hearts.

It was at this moment that Hancock made a heart-shooting gesture towards everyone.

"Sweet Ganfeng!"

A pink, heart-shaped beam of light instantly enveloped everyone, petrifying all those in the auction hall.

"Yvette, hurry!"

"I am coming."

Yvette immediately ran out, "This person is in charge, undo his petrification first."

Hancock nodded immediately upon hearing this and then released the person from petrification.

Immediately afterwards, Yvette reached into the guy's head and pulled out a series of things that looked like rolls of film.

As the 'memory' was ripped from his brain, the guy immediately fainted.

"Let me see, these memories are disgusting... But never mind, let's get down to business first."

"Delete everything you just saw, and then overwrite it with the fabricated memories..."

If Abel were standing here right now, he would definitely look incredibly surprised.

In the original story, Pudding's Memory Fruit was actually obtained by Yvette?!

"One last check, everything's fine, all done!"

"next."

Using the same method, Yvette altered the memories of four or five people in one go before stopping.

One reason is the great physical exertion, and another is that it's unnecessary to alter everyone's memories, since the dead don't need to speak.

In order to leave no evidence, Hancock unfroze each person one by one, while Yvette finished them off one by one.

Suddenly the procession came to a stop, and the smell of blood filled the air, which frightened the slaves.

Yvette immediately said, "Don't be afraid, everyone. We're here to rescue you. Please bear with us for now, and we'll talk more once we're in a safe place."

Although the slaves were skeptical, at least hope was rekindled in their hearts.
