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

But after that, he never saw any more treasure map fragments spawn.

It's really like fishing; you give the fish plenty of bait, but then you can't get a single bite.

The Abels were all numb.

However, he believed that sooner or later, Lady Luck would still come to watch him.

Chapter 499 A Billion Bits of Weaponry

While the invincibility effect of the [Iron Curtain Temporary Device] only applies to buildings and is quite limited, its effectiveness in specific environments is absolutely beyond imagination!

【Tibbers Bear Doll No. 666】It looks like a toy, but it dares to sell for 4000 trading points, so Abel always felt that it must have something special.

Then I tried it out and found that it was indeed a formidable force.

Most importantly, it will never be damaged as long as its core is not destroyed.

When transforming into a giant bear, it also inflicts fire damage and has a certain probability of causing a stun effect.

This dizziness effect is deadly.

Abel could choose to use it himself or give it to Baby-5, but the little girl always stayed by his side and seemed to have no use for it, and didn't seem to have much interest in these kinds of dolls.

The purchase of these items cost 15600 transaction points. Including the items used, not counting the portion for order submission, the total cost was 20600 transaction points.

Abel currently has 8750 trading points remaining.

It's sufficient for dealing with emergencies temporarily.

……

On a deserted island, after transferring to a snail-shaped boat, Abel entered the Devil's Triangle.

The dense fog that accumulates here year-round provides the perfect cover.

If you do something inside, it's almost impossible for anyone to know.

It's just too easy to lose your way.

If it weren't for Germa's technology and the special sensing ability between the snail ships, Abel wouldn't have dared to let them stay here for so long.

When I saw Judge again, he was much more composed than before.

Although he is still as annoying as ever when it comes to family relationships, at least he has figured out his own place.

In terms of combat strength, he could not possibly be a match for Enel, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Abel had already told them that Enel was one of their own.

In terms of wit and skill, Tezzolo is miles ahead of him.

Therefore, Gaji clearly defined his role as a researcher and the chief logistics officer.

As for his own children, he could train them to be involved in the production of weapons of war.

This is also the direction Abel wants to see; he certainly wouldn't pretend to let the "Shamate" trio develop in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor.

Of course, this excludes Reiju, who still possesses emotions.

As the first smart person to surrender, Abel was willing to give her some preferential treatment, even if it meant leaving Germa 66 to pursue her own dreams like Sanji.

But Reiju refused.

She was willing to stay and wanted to follow Abel.

She desperately wanted to know how the other person had 'tamed' her arrogant and conceited father.

However, Abel, who already found raising a little girl difficult enough, rejected the suggestion, saying he would wait until she grew up.

Gaji, who was engrossed in scientific research, naturally had no objection to this.

Especially after eating the Gluttony Fruit, Judge worked on scientific research day and night.

It is said that they have come up with a lot of strange and unusual things.

As expected, the Swallow-Swallow Fruit is best suited for knowledgeable and intelligent people.

"Judge, how's it going lately?"

Abel didn't rush to bring out the Nightmare Battleship; instead, he focused on the developments here first.

Judge immediately became excited and introduced his latest inventions to Abel one by one.

There are technological shoes that can accelerate electromagnetically when worn. Abel remembers that this electromagnetic acceleration technology was still very immature a few years ago, and it was very difficult to accelerate a snail boat.

But now it can be condensed into a pair of ordinary shoes, which shows the maturity of this technology.

In addition to these, there are electromagnetic pulse guns, combat suits that can unleash powerful flame attacks, and hovering devices that can levitate in the air, etc.

Judge even studied the user of the Clear-Clear Fruit and successfully developed an invisibility device!

He truly deserves to be called a researcher who worked with Vegapunk back then; his talent and ability are undeniable.

But it's also a pity that they will have to live in Vegapunk's shadow for the rest of their lives.

Abel gave Judge great affirmation and praise, and prepared to take some useful scientific inventions with him when he left.

"How is the renovation plan for Golden City progressing?"

Abel then asked a different question.

"It has already taken initial shape and is progressing very smoothly. Currently, most of my thousands of clone soldiers and the pirates captured during this period are working together to construct various mechanical facilities. In addition, Tesoro occasionally sends back gold, and with that guy's ability, controlling the shaping of gold is very convenient, saving a lot of time."

Judge, who developed Germa Alloy, is no longer the poor guy he once was; he is now extremely wealthy.

Don't forget, when Tesoro left to start his own business, he got his 'initial funding' from Judge.

Now that Tezzolo's earning power is starting to show, the two of them working together will naturally not have to worry about money.

Their concern is that the demand for gold is too high, making it difficult to buy.

Moreover, the more they buy, the less gold is available on the market, and the higher the price becomes.

Fortunately, Tesoro can still mine gold using his ability to detect and sense it, which is more profitable than any other business!

Finding an unclaimed gold mine is really not easy; it requires a lot of luck.

Abel took a moment to check on the construction progress of the Golden City, and it was indeed beginning to take shape.

The original eerie atmosphere has long since disappeared, and the filming location has been transformed into something reminiscent of Roman Holiday.

However, this terrifying three-masted ship was so large that it looked rather shabby.

Abel's suggestion was to first build a small golden city in the middle, and then use the connections Tesoro had built to attract powerful, wealthy people to play there.

This is how they gradually build their reputation and accumulate wealth.

Then it expanded outwards in circles until it eventually encompassed the entire island, becoming a veritable golden city!

But looking at it now, it will still take several months before we can achieve the first step.

Abel wasn't in a hurry; he could use this time to have Judge remodel his ship.

When Abel poured the Nightmare Battleship out of the Voodoo Bottle, Judge's eyes widened noticeably, looking eager to examine it, his face filled with curiosity.

However, since Abel was the boss, he refused to give it to them, and Judge didn't dare to do anything about it. He could only regretfully begin to tour the super battleship.

Even with Judge's discerning eye, he had to admit that Tom's shipbuilding skills were truly amazing!

The ship's attributes are all maxed out, and it's also incredibly beautiful.

It wasn't until Judge listened to all of Abel's needs that he realized this warship was not only perfect, but also a terrifying war fortress!

"No problem, leave it to me. But aren't there a bit too many weapons and artillery? It might be a bit difficult to manage."

Abel waved his hand dismissively, "You don't need to worry about that, just wait to receive the goods."

He seems to have forgotten what his Don Quixote family did to get started!

It's just a few hundred million weapons, we'll have plenty!

Chapter 500 When did I become the highest-ranking cadre?

Abel wasn't exaggerating; in the past two years, he's been sneaking around and has really managed to smuggle out quite a few good things.

Smuggling arms is extremely profitable, so it's not unreasonable for him to keep a smaller portion for himself each time.

Moreover, even Doflamingo knows about this, but he's just too lazy to care.

At most, when someone complains, they'll call him over for a few words of 'lecture,' and then let him go without any real consequence.

On the contrary, those who go to file complaints usually end up suffering a terrible fate.

Over time, naturally no one bothered Abel over this 'trivial matter' anymore.

Abel felt that he had created this 'greedy image' quite successfully.

Because the more obvious a person's flaws are, the easier they are to control. On the contrary, those who have no desires or wants are the most difficult to deal with and the most unreliable.

Doflamingo isn't afraid of you being greedy, as long as you don't go too far or cross the red line. Taking a kickback or giving us a few fewer cannons or guns is nothing!

Therefore, Abel always behaved arrogantly and greedily within his family, and he especially loved to eat, particularly all kinds of delicious food.

Once this reputation spread, countless people would naturally try every trick in the book to curry favor with him.

As a result, Abel ate a lot of good food, which pushed the progress bar of the food cell evolution forward quite a bit. Although it has not yet reached the point of evolving again, it has something to look forward to.

This time, he made good use of all the weapons he had hidden.

While the high-tech weapons researched by Judge are powerful, they are too expensive and complex to manufacture, making it impossible to equip every clone soldier with them. Therefore, most of the cannon fodder still need ordinary firearms.

"It seems we don't have enough artillery."

Abel stroked his chin, his gaze somewhat unfocused.

Not long after, in the warehouse of the family residence.

Abel was directing people to move things, while the steward beside him was sweating profusely and his face had turned pale.

"Lord Abel, where are you going to transport these five hundred cannons? I haven't received any orders from the young master."
