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

"Oh, you mean I don't have the right to mobilize the family's resources?"

Abel smiled at the other man, startling the steward so much that he almost knelt down on the spot.

"No, of course not. Young Master has already given the order that your authority is equivalent to that of the highest-ranking officer in the family. But... these are five hundred cannons!"

"You just took them all away without a word. When the young master questions me, I really won't know how to explain it!"

Abel immediately adopted an arrogant attitude, saying impatiently, "I'm not taking the family's things for free. I'll pay for these five hundred cannons. I remember that top-ranking officers can buy things at a 40% discount?"

The manager forced a smile and said, "Yes, but there are other orders placed here..."

"Then there's no 'but' about it. What business is it of mine if someone else orders the goods?"

"Alright, stop looking so gloomy. Hurry up and calculate the price. You won't be shortchanged by a single beri."

The steward was on the verge of tears, but could only let Abel take the goods away.

There's nothing we can do; after all, they're family executives with the authority of top-level officials.

Fortunately, the other party was reasonable and actually left the money.

Although it was a 40% discount, it was barely enough for him to get by.

When Doflamingo learned of this, he was utterly speechless.

Five hundred cannons?

"This kid's appetite is really getting bigger and bigger."

Doflamingo naturally assumed that Abel had found a big buyer and was only doing this to make a profit.

Otherwise, why don't you take it and use it yourself?

This kind of thing used to happen frequently.

Doflamingo simply turned a blind eye, pretending not to see it.

After all, Abel had once saved his life!

In addition, Abel's mission completion rate is among the highest in the family, which has truly contributed a lot to the development of the family.

Under these circumstances, Doflamingo would never do anything to Abel for a little money.

This time, the amount was quite large, which made him hesitate.

“When Abel returns, tell him to come to me immediately.”

After thinking it over, Doflamingo still felt it wasn't a big deal, so he didn't make a big deal out of it.

But when that kid comes back, he'll definitely get a beating.

Otherwise, things will really get worse.

In this way, Abel easily obtained another five hundred cannons, and then, through layers of transfer, successfully and secretly handed them over to Judge.

The price was that he was severely reprimanded by Doflamingo when he returned.

Of course, Abel let it go in one ear and out the other, not hearing a thing.

This arrogant, unyielding attitude infuriated Doflamingo, making him grit his teeth.

"The family will soon be heading into the New World to carry out that plan."

"Since you're so free right now, why don't you go to Dressrosa and set up an outpost there?"

Doflamingo finds him a headache right now, so he might as well get rid of him for now and avoid seeing him altogether.

Abel was taken aback for a moment, realizing that Doflamingo was ultimately going to make a move against Dressrosa.

He couldn't stop it, and he had no reason to stop it.

All he cared about was how Doflamingo would perform when facing those terrifying enemies in the New World.

This will also determine his choice.

After all, a deposed king who has lost his spirit and is left only with fear is not worth following.

Whether it is a dragon or a worm, Abel will see for himself with his own eyes.

"I'm willing to go, but when will I be given the last vacant position as the top cadre?"

Abel asked for it very directly.

Taking detours has never been in his nature.

“Since I joined, I have completed countless tasks, big and small. I even managed to crack a tough nut like developing the South China Sea arms market.”

"In comparison, Diamanti was so much slower than me and almost messed up."

"Pica, needless to say, was twice beaten up by Shanks and his men, and almost lost his life in the East Blue. In the end, he could only slink back in disgrace."

"I feel that, both morally and logically, I should be the one to sit in the highest position of the cadre."

Doflamingo seemed to have anticipated this day, and he simply laughed.

"Fufufufufu, I thought you could hold out for a long time before asking me."

"To be honest, with your achievements, strength, and contributions to the family, you do deserve the name 'Red Heart'."

"However, there are some things you have done that are indeed a bit too much. No matter how many times I've told you, you've never changed. It makes one wonder what would happen if you really became the top cadre!"

At this point, Doflamingo glared at Abel, who was giving a dry laugh.

"But I've always been fair in my rewards and punishments. After we take Dressrosa, I will reward those who have contributed. Whether you can become a top executive then will depend on you."

"Understood, I'll set off right away."

Chapter 501 New World, Here I Come!

The latter half of the Grand Line, also known as the New World, is the largest stage where countless powerful beings gather.

Here you'll find all sorts of amazing islands and unpredictable extreme weather.

Those without real skills simply cannot survive in this sea area and can only rely on other powerful forces.

Now, after the death of Pirate King Roger, the most powerful pirate force is the Whitebeard Pirates.

After all, Whitebeard Edward Newgate was Roger's biggest rival in the battle for the title of Pirate King.

Although he ultimately fell short, Roger conquered the Grand Line first and became the Pirate King.

But Edward Newgate, with his white beard, is still considered the 'strongest man in the world' right now!

He is also the most likely candidate to become the Pirate King.

What outsiders don't know is that Whitebeard actually had no interest in becoming the Pirate King.

All those so-called competitions and empty titles are things that others have misinterpreted and forcibly imposed on him.

In contrast, Whitebeard only wanted to build a large family at sea to shelter his 'good-for-nothing sons' from the wind and rain.

Aside from the Whitebeard Pirates, there are two other super powers in the New World that deserve mention.

One of them is the Big Mom Pirates led by Charlotte Linlin, who is known as "BIG MOM", and the "Whole Cake Island" she founded!

The name "Totto Land" signifies the hope that this nation would become a utopia unifying all races of the world.

Therefore, in the 'World of Nations' you can see people of all races living here, except for the giants.

But this did not prevent Charlotte Linlin's forces from becoming one of the dominant powers in the New World.

The last person to be mentioned is Kaido, the "King of Beasts"!

Kaido, the "King of Beasts," is known as the "strongest creature" because of his extremely powerful strength and unimaginable defensive and vitality abilities.

Kaido's most famous feat is that he has single-handedly stormed the Marine Headquarters on several occasions. Although he was captured many times, even the Marines were helpless against him.

Kaido has been subjected to thousands of tortures and has been sentenced to death a total of 40 times.

But it still didn't work.

Even if hanged, he would break the chains; even if led to the guillotine, he would shatter the blade; even if stabbed by a spear, the spear would break. He sank as many as nine massive prison ships. No one could kill him, not even himself.

This is Kaido, the commander-in-chief of the Beasts Pirates!

What's even more interesting is that few people know that Edward Newgate (Whitebeard), Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom), and Kaido (Kaido of the Beasts) all actually came from the Rocks Pirates!

Even when Kaido joined, it was Whitebeard who conveyed the invitation from then-captain Rocks D. Xebec.

Furthermore, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido maintained a good relationship after she joined the Rocks Pirates.

Even Kaido's Devil Fruit was personally handed to him by Charlotte Linlin on the day the Rocks Pirates disbanded.

However, with the passage of time, few people know these secrets of the sea.

Furthermore, at this point in time, the Red-Haired Pirates only have a certain reputation on the seas, and have not yet risen to the point where they can stand on equal footing with these three forces.

Therefore, the idea of ​​the Four Emperors is meaningless.

The new world is now a three-way power struggle, with the navy eyeing it covetously and powerful newcomers emerging one after another.

On his way to the New World, Abel had already mentally reviewed the situation and power distribution in the New World several times.

Just like when he came to 'Paradise' from Beihai.

After all, he hasn't grown up to the point where, or rather, he's arrogant enough to ignore everyone.

This was his first time going to the new world.

He had originally thought he would first get the ship 'coated' and then take the underwater route to Fishman Island.

That was also a common choice for entering the new world.

However, Doflamingo used his status as a Shichibukai to obtain special privileges, or perhaps it was the convenience brought by his former status as a Celestial Dragon?

In short, this time when entering the New World, Abel made a direct request to the World Government, then traversed the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, located at the summit of the Red Line, and finally arrived at the New World.

It didn't feel too good, although it was safe enough.

When passing through the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, Abel was always worried that a Celestial Dragon might suddenly jump out and cause trouble.

His partnership with Baby-5 makes him an easy target for some twisted and dark-hearted people.

He might not be able to hold back then.
