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

So much so that the reward for completing the task afterward may not even be enough to compensate the innocent victims for their losses.

This also gave some people who dislike Fairy Tail a reason to lash out.

Reward?

Go dream!

Makarov made numerous trips to the Magic Council to clean up Gildarts's mess, writing countless apologies in the process.

But now things are different, everything is different!

Four times, a full four times!

Before Abel returned, Makarov had already been summoned and commended by the Magic Council four times!

Makarov hadn't received this kind of treatment in so long that when the old man returned, he was so moved that he burst into tears and led everyone in a wild party.

One reward means three days of fun!

The four sessions combined lasted a full 14 days of fun!

Don't ask why we partied for two extra days. The answer is that we drank too much and got the dates wrong.

In short, that's not important.

Makarov has been walking with a spring in his step these days. His back and waist no longer ache, and he can climb 12 floors to the Magic Council in one go without taking a break. Even the wrinkles on his face have smoothed out!

In comparison, what someone did before was truly appalling.

Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away.

what?

You're asking who someone is?

Oh dear, I'm sorry, I'm so old I've long forgotten.

I'm really not familiar with this one!

Let's not contact each other again, I'm afraid Abel will misunderstand!

Gone!

That's right, Makarov is getting carried away right now.

So much so that on the day Abel returned, he was like seeing his long-lost father, bursting into tears and throwing himself into Abel's arms, and then he and everyone went on a ten-day party.

This left Abel utterly speechless. Anyone who knew the situation would think they were welcoming him back, but anyone who didn't would have guessed it was a bunch of drunkards drinking free beer.

During this time, Abel was the focus of everyone's attention. At least when someone was mentioned, no one dared to say that he was the strongest in the guild.

Even Erza and Mirajane looked at Abel with a different meaning in their eyes.

This made Makarov, that old rascal, chuckle incessantly, and he almost got beaten up.

It wasn't until Abel accepted a century-old mission that Makarov instantly sobered up.

"If you're just trying to prove yourself, this is more than enough. The difficulty of the Centennial Mission is unparalleled by any other mission."

"I'm not saying this to discourage you, but I hope you will make a careful decision and not risk your life for some empty fame."

Abel nodded seriously, knowing that his current strength was not yet enough to touch the power at the very top of this world's pyramid.

But his life is really worthless, so he has to take a gamble.

“I know, but I have reasons for having to do it.”

"Alright, I knew I couldn't stop you. None of these brats can keep me calm. Here, take this..."

Makarov suddenly pulled a glowing stone from his pocket and threw it to Abel.

Abel took it and immediately felt a bone-chilling cold. He instinctively asked, "What is this?"

"The agreed-upon Dragon Slayer Crystal was only obtained thanks to your excellent performance in these missions. Otherwise, the Magic Council wouldn't have let me take it so easily."

Makarov said, feigning calmness, but clearly he had paid far more for this than he had said.

"The Ice Dragon's Magic Crystal?"

Abel was very surprised, as he had already given up hope.

As it turned out, Makarov not only gave him a surprise, but a huge surprise!

Do ice dragons exist in this world?

It seems that Abel didn't have any memory of her, or rather, she existed but never appeared in his life.

But that's no longer important. What's important is how he should use what he has in his hand.

"Thanks, this came just in time."

Abel thanked Chairman Makarov very sincerely.

Makarov waved his hand dismissively, but his mustache was practically sticking up to the sky.

"Now that you've got the stuff, hurry up and leave. Remember to complete the mission well. Now every time I go to the Magic Council, my face is practically frozen from smiling, hahaha!"

Abel nodded, remembering what the commander had done for him.

When he walked out of the Fairy Tail guild gate, Erza and Mirajane were waiting for him there.

"I recently bought a new set of magical armor, but it looks like I won't have a chance to show it off this time. I'll wear it for you next time you come back, all by myself."

Even Erza couldn't control her expression when she thought about the Temptation Armor she had bought, and her cheeks involuntarily flushed.

However, if she likes something, she will fight for it; that's always been her personality.

After making this agreement with Abel, she went straight to the guild, leaving the rest of the time to Mirajane, without any hesitation.

Meanwhile, the pure and lovely Mirajane, with a bright smile on her face, quietly slipped a copy of her latest photobook to Abel, then winked and said, "Next time you come back, how about we go to the beach together? I still have all the swimsuits in there~"

"Is it only for me to see?"

Even the usually outspoken Mirajane blushed at Abel's question.

However, she nodded shyly, "So you must come back safely."

"Don't worry, even if it's for this reason, I will climb back."

Abel waved the photo album in his hand sarcastically, then said goodbye to Mirajane.

He knew he wouldn't be lonely on this journey.

There's no way around it; tall, handsome, and capable men are always in high demand, no matter where they go.

So now he has another reason to complete a century-long mission.

However, while traveling, Abel spent far less time looking through the photo album than studying the Dragon Slayer Crystal in his hand.

Although Mirajane's photobook is indeed quite good.

But if Abel had to choose, his first choice would only be power!

Only by acquiring sufficient power can one safeguard everything.

Otherwise, it's all just empty talk.

Based on the talent [Inheritance of the Ice Dragon], he actually managed to research quite a few things.

Later, he even integrated the Ice Dragon Slayer Crystal into his own body, completely figuring out its operating mechanism.

Even if you completely pray for the order afterward and your consciousness returns, this gain will still be of great help.

Chapter 488 The Serpent's Love, a truly shocking story!

After many twists and turns, Abel finally found the target of his mission on an island overseas.

Seeing the giant flying serpent falling from the sky, he almost thought he had found the nest of some dragon.

Its purplish-black scales were covered with rings of crystals overflowing with magic power, and its outstretched wings were ferocious and menacing.

With a strange hiss, the flying snake immediately opened its mouth.

At the same time, all the ring-shaped magic crystals on his body lit up with an eerie light.

"Rotten Breath!"

The green odor was particularly pungent, and a foul smell spread instantly.

All the flowers, plants, and trees affected immediately withered and rotted, and were scattered by the wind.

Even animals that only smelled this odor were immediately poisoned, collapsing to the ground, their limbs paralyzed, waiting to die.

Even Abel, who was the first to be affected, couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

Fortunately, his poison resistance was already very high, so he only felt dizzy for a moment and quickly recovered, then quickly created distance between himself and others.

Sizzle... Sizzle... Sizzle...

After Abel fled, the ground beneath his feet was eroded by the greenish breath, and everything on it was completely destroyed.

It almost instantly 'burned' a huge crater.

Abel was speechless with astonishment upon seeing this.

This serpent certainly doesn't look easy to deal with.

It can fly, has high defense, and possesses a corrosive poison. If an ordinary S-rank mage encountered it, they probably wouldn't even be able to escape.

However, Abel thought it was possible to kill him!

Ice prison!

With a flick of his finger, Abel locked the serpent's body in an ice cage formed by dozens of ice pillars.

However, it was clear that it could not be completely locked up, and the power of the serpent was also astonishing!

Click, click...

The ice cage was shattering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Roar!

The serpent, having broken free of its restraints, let out another strange cry, then flicked its head, unleashing another beam of purplish-black magic that instantly engulfed Abel's figure standing in place.
