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

Otherwise, as long as a knowledgeable person goes there and sees the impact of the battle, they will immediately realize the problem.

Meanwhile, before the news of the sand crocodile's death spread...

Upon receiving the order, Enel and Robin immediately began to receive Crocodile's legacy.

The first to be eliminated were those Baroque Works members who remained at Whisky Peak.

Enel, who had been holding back for so long, finally got his kicks and wiped out all the weaklings in an instant.

He really didn't need these small fry as his crew. Now, apart from Robin, everyone on the Thor was a Sky Islander, and they were the best among them.

After destroying the Baroque Works outpost in Whiskey Peak, they immediately headed straight for Alabasta.

The legacy left behind by the sand crocodile is like a piece of unclaimed fat meat; whoever reacts first and has the guts can devour it.

Clearly, Enel, who received the news first, not only had the strength, but also the audacity to do so.

Thus, the headquarters of Baroque Works in Alabasta was easily destroyed, with all personnel either dead or fleeing, and the force was completely wiped out.

Even the Rain Banquet Casino was occupied by Enel and his men, who then plundered a large amount of wealth, making Enel almost laugh in his dreams. He would count the wealth every day, counting on his fingers how much gold he could get in exchange for it, so that he could put the Ark Maxim construction plan on the agenda as soon as possible.

Even their stronghold had been captured, yet there was still no news of Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, which has led many to speculate.

This also attracted the attention of many people to Enel and his group.

Then Enel performed Thor's Descent to Earth in front of countless people!

He single-handedly annihilated three pirate crews that were attacking together!

The combined bounties of the captains of these three pirate crews amount to over 100 million Berries.

But none of this was as shocking as the news that Enel announced to the public.

He publicly stated that Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, had been killed by him!

If you're not satisfied, come find him; he'll be happy to oblige!

The news immediately caused a stir on the high seas.

Because Crocodile is considered the first Shichibukai to be killed in recent years!

Many people want to know where this Thor Pirates came from.

Chapter 496 Completely Different Lives

Given Enel's personality, he would naturally disdain claiming credit for someone else's achievements.

But there was nothing he could do; Abel had specifically made him take the blame.

This shifted everyone's attention to Enel and his Thunder God Pirates.

The truth will never be discovered.

Abel will once again have an opportunity to develop quietly.

Once Enel revealed his immense strength and his identity as a Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit user to the world, no one dared to doubt that he was capable of doing so!

Even among Logia-type Devil Fruit users, there are still differences in ability level and status.

Clearly, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is one of the most powerful Logia-type abilities!

Everyone knows that soon, another formidable strongman will emerge on the high seas!

What many people don't know is that Enel's appearance caused a great deal of infighting between many people in the Navy and the World Government.

The reason is that some people believe that Enel's killing of Crocodile was a provocation against the World Government, and that he should be immediately wanted with a bounty and sent to capture him.

Others, however, believed that this was inappropriate, as it would push a destined powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit user to the opposite side of the Navy, creating an unnecessary formidable enemy for themselves!

After all, although the Thunder God Pirates are called a pirate crew, they have never done anything evil; on the contrary, they only target other pirates.

After destroying the Sand Crocodile's forces, they did not indiscriminately kill innocent people or take advantage of the situation to occupy Alabasta. They simply accepted the wealth left behind by the Sand Crocodile.

What was the original purpose of establishing the Seven Warlords system?

Instead of sending people to arrest them, why not take this opportunity to bring them into our camp directly?

Why would such 'innocent' pirates not offer amnesty but instead fight to the death?!

To avenge a dead man?

Or is he a pirate?

Crazy!

It must be said that these remarks instantly shattered those who advocated for the arrest and bounty on Enel.

Because no matter how you look at it, recruiting the other side is the best solution.

Therefore, escorted by a Marine Vice Admiral, the World Government immediately dispatched personnel to Alabasta to negotiate with Enel, the captain of the Thunder God Pirates.

Enel was arrogant and looked down on the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

I was ready to refuse without even thinking about it.

Fortunately, Robin was there to stop his recklessness.

"This kind of thing must be reported to the boss."

When Robin brought up the boss, Enel immediately lost his arrogance and could only wait for instructions.

Abel's instruction was, of course, to have Enel take over the position of Shichibukai.

After all, no matter what, the Seven Warlords held very important power and status until the system was abolished!

The mere fact that privateering is legal is enough to make countless pirates envious!

Not to mention the many other benefits.

Otherwise, Doflamingo wouldn't have taken such a huge risk, relying on the plunder of the "Celestial Gold" to gain the opportunity to negotiate with the World Government, and ultimately successfully obtained a position among the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

With this powerful backing, Enel could expand his influence at will, as long as he didn't go too far, and he no longer needed to worry about the threat from the Navy.

Even Robin can hide in the dark.

The only downside is that when the Navy and the World Government initiate recruitment, they must cooperate unconditionally.

However, in reality, there are very few situations where it would require gathering all the Seven Warlords of the Sea to resolve a problem.

Is it possible for something like the Marineford War to happen frequently?

It's been so long, and Doflamingo hasn't even been to Marine Headquarters once.

To be honest, this guy really wanted to go once.

Therefore, Abel thought it would be useful to have Enel occupy a spot among the Seven Warlords of the Sea in advance, which could be considered as planning ahead.

One can only imagine the shocked expression on Doflamingo's face when he discovers that the Shichibukai who is on par with him is actually Abel's subordinate.

Just thinking about it is interesting.

After receiving a definite answer, the World Government announced the news in newspapers almost as quickly as possible!

Just like Empress Hancock back then, she received the same level of recognition, not only being given the front page headline but also having an entire page dedicated to her promotion.

And they really honored Enel's title of "Thor".

Although the bounty is zero, it's still a bit of an eyesore.

However, the fact that he is a Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit user is enough to dispel most of the doubts.

What's more, Enel also has the amazing feat of taking down Crocodile!

In any case, it's more convincing than when the Empress came to power.

Doflamingo was quite surprised and somewhat regretful when he saw the news in the newspaper.

He actually admired Crocodile to some extent, and if given the chance, the two of them might even team up to cause some trouble.

Unexpectedly, the other party died just like that, and was even replaced by an 'unknown'.

"Thor? Hah, what a boastful tone."

Doflamingo dismissively put down the newspaper, then picked up his chilled juice and closed his eyes to enjoy the sun on the beach.

Although he was disdainful, he had no intention of causing trouble for the other party.

That doesn't fit his personality.

Now all his attention is focused on the development of the family, especially the plan to seize the country next year, which absolutely cannot be allowed to fail!

So as long as it's not a stumbling block in his way, he can ignore it.

Conversely, if there is something about the other person that he admires, he is more inclined to cooperate with them.

……

The Devil's Triangle in the first half of the Grand Line.

The terror schooner is hidden here in the thick fog that never dissipates.

In order to transform this terrifying three-masted ship, which is comparable in size to an island, into a true city of gold, Tesoro has already thrown most of his gold into this bottomless pit.

The actual renovation plan was based on the design drawings created by Gaji.

After all, Gaji is the real expert in this area.

Tesoro paid a considerable price and made many promises in exchange for Judge's help.

Thanks to the tireless work of a large number of clone soldiers, the originally gloomy and dark environment has been greatly improved.

Flatten what needs to be flattened, discard what needs to be discarded, and throw away what needs to be thrown away.

Although the Golden City was still a long way from being fully formed, it was already showing signs of becoming one.

In particular, all the pirates who passed by were captured by Judge and thrown onto the island to serve as laborers.

Aside from occasionally sending gold back to check on the progress, Tesoro was mainly responsible for making money!

Make money by any means necessary!

Then, part of it was used to build the Golden City, and the other part was used to maintain his network of connections, dragging powerful and influential people into his schemes and turning them into his own allies.

Judge, Tesoro, and Enel each chose a completely different path!
