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

That's why he didn't connect it to the power of the Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit.

They immediately left with Baby-5.

Now that the other party has actually come to him on their own initiative, he frowned deeply, wondering what the other party was really up to.

"Hello, may I introduce myself? My name is Violet, I'm 17 years old, my hobbies are music and dance, and my favorite flower is the violet..."

"Wait, stop!"

Abel, increasingly bewildered as he listened, hurriedly stopped the other man from continuing his endless self-introduction.

Otherwise, if we keep talking, after we finish introducing our hobbies, shouldn't we start talking about our body measurements?

That kind of thing wouldn't pass censorship now.

Abel had thought the other person might be there to cause trouble, but it turned out they were just trying to chat him up.

But wait, Violet?

This name seems familiar.

Dressrosa… Violet… loves to dance… Violet… strange gestures and eyes that seem to see right through people…

When these elements were put together, Abel suddenly had an expression of realization.

It turns out to be her!

The 'dancer' who was forced to join the Don Quixote family in the original story is also the princess of this country, the youngest daughter of King Riku.

Compared to the alluring beauty of a ripe peach 12 years later, the Violet before us now, though not small in scale, appears much less mature, like a green apple.

"That makes sense. No wonder I had that illusion before. She must have been using the Devil Fruit's ability to read my thoughts."

Abel understood everything at once.

It has to be admitted that the Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit, as a support ability, is actually quite overpowered!

Although one can only glimpse a person's current inner thoughts and activities and cannot read their memories, it is already quite remarkable to allow others to read one's own memories.

Without knowing the details, it's hard not to get infected.

It is easy to distinguish lies, determine whether a person is an enemy or a friend, and whether they are truly loyal rather than having their heart in another's camp.

No wonder Doflamingo threatened this woman to join his family. With this ability as an aid, he could indeed get rid of his biggest worry.

Unfortunately, in the end, this woman betrayed him, or rather, she was never truly committed to joining him from the beginning.

For a fleeting moment, Abel did indeed have murderous intent, wanting to eliminate this potential threat directly.

After all, one can control one's inner thoughts to a certain extent, but one cannot guarantee that there will be no oversights.

But when it came to actually taking action, he hesitated.

Because of the look in her eyes, which was clear yet contained a hint of expectation and shyness, and then a touch of nervousness and trepidation.

This is a somewhat naive girl next door.

Abel admitted that he was not a good person, but he was not so bad as to kill people indiscriminately.

"Never mind, it's not necessary. We can just be more careful next time. Fortunately, that gesture is unique and easy to spot."

Abel suppressed his murderous intent, while Violet was unaware that she had just narrowly escaped death.

"Gustavus Abel, is there anything else?"

He saw that Abel's attitude was not what he had imagined; on the contrary, it was rather cold.

This made Violet somewhat disappointed.

However, this minor setback cannot easily defeat her.

After all, she already knows the other person's name, doesn't she?

"Keep it up, this is already a good start."

Violet rallied herself and then mustered her courage to ask, "May I call you Abel? Are you tourists?"

It was just a name, and Abel didn't stop her.

He just felt that the more enthusiastic and fond the other party was of him now, the more they would hate him when Dressrosa changed hands.

Although he was not the mastermind, he was undoubtedly an accomplice.

Abel had no desire to experience the content of those third-rate melodramas.

So he cut to the chase: "Sorry, you're not my type. If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now."

"Here's another piece of advice: there are still more bad people in this world with ill intentions. Before you catch up next time, think about what the worst possible consequences might be."

“Just like right now, I could easily capture you, or even kill you, before your guards arrive.”

In the end, Abel released a little bit of murderous intent, which instantly made the other party's face turn somewhat flustered and pale.

But after taking only one step back, the somewhat stubborn girl shook her head, "I've looked at you with these eyes, you're not that kind of person."

Abel chuckled softly, "You know, sometimes even what you see with your own eyes isn't necessarily the truth."

"You'll understand what this means when we meet again."

After saying these meaningful words, Abel left with Baby-5.

Violet, experiencing her first stirrings of love, stood frozen in place, biting her lip, seemingly unwilling to give up, yet she did not chase after him.

On the one hand, she didn't understand the true meaning of what the other person said, and on the other hand, her pride prevented her from continuing to pester him shamelessly.

"Could it be that he figured out my identity?"

Just as Violet was puzzled, the guards finally caught up and protected her in the middle, refusing to let her run around anymore.

Violet glanced at the guards, then recalled Abel's departing figure, and her curious heart immediately began to stir restlessly, unable to be calmed down.

"When we meet again... so does that mean we'll see each other again?"

Violet followed the guards back to the palace, somewhat sullen.

"Your Highness, you're finally back. Please take me with you next time you go out, I beg you."

The maid who spoke was a beautiful woman with long green hair and a good figure.

"Okay, Monet, I understand. I was just bored this time and it was just a sudden whim. By the way, did Father scold you?"

Monet shook his head. "His Majesty the King is just too worried about you."

That's what he said, but when he turned around, Monet's eyes were full of indifference and intrigue.

Chapter 504 The Magical Toy

In the most bustling area of ​​Dressrosa, a toy store suddenly appeared at some point.

It was filled with all sorts of toys, mostly dolls and animal figurines.

Unlike other toy stores, the toys sold in this store, named Sugar Toy Store, all seem to have a life of their own; they can move, jump, and even talk!

This amazing toy became an instant hit across the country upon its release, attracting countless people to buy it.

After all, what girl wouldn't want a pretty doll that can play and chat with her?

Which boy wouldn't want a robot that can fight against other friends?

Besides children, many adults also need companionship.

As a result, many toy cats and dogs sold out.

No need to feed them, they won't poop or pee anywhere, and you don't even need to take care of their feelings. Is there a more perfect pet than this?

Even the country's royal family was alarmed and purchased a batch of these toys to see if they were really that magical, or if the people had been deceived.

The result was that no matter how much the royal family studied it, they couldn't figure it out.

Moreover, the other party was operating legally, and selling toys did not offend anyone's sensitive nerves, so the matter was dropped.

Nowadays, many people buy toys every day.

But no one knows that these amazing toys were actually once real, flesh-and-blood human beings.

"It should be right here."

Abel brought Baby-5 to the designated meeting point, which was this Sugar Toys store.

When I went in, there were quite a few parents with their children picking out toys, and of course, there were also some young men and women among them.

So his pairing with Baby-5 didn't attract much attention; people just assumed it was an older brother accompanying his younger sister shopping, and at most, they'd glance at him a couple more times because of Abel's incredibly handsome looks.

Looking at the 'living' toys in the store, Abel guessed that the unknown Devil Fruit from back then was indeed the Childhood Fruit.

And it was by accident that Doflamingo gave it to Sugar to eat, which made it a very important member of the family.

For this reason, Doflamingo specifically assigned his trusted confidant Trebol to protect Sugar.

Sugar's ability also completely fills the last gap in the plan to take Dressrosa.

"Hello, what would you like to buy? We have the latest toys that can keep you company."

“I’ll go to your boss and tell him that someone from my family has come to visit.”

Abel ignored the enthusiastic sales pitches from the shop assistants and spoke directly.

The shop assistants seemed to have been instructed beforehand, so upon hearing "Someone has come to your home," they quickly and respectfully invited them inside.

One person was responsible for leading the way, while the other went ahead to report.

A quick glance confirmed it; it was clear that the shop assistants here were also peripheral members of the family brought from their 'hometown'.

After entering the lounge, the staff said goodbye.

Abel finally met Torebour, who had been missing for a long time, and Sugar, who was still a child.

The moment you eat the Childhood Fruit, your body will stop growing. Your age, height, and appearance will remain unchanged at the instant you eat the fruit.

So Sugar in front of me is still a cute little girl, happily eating grapes, and will never grow up again.

Perhaps this is a kind of eternal youth?

"Long time no see, Torrebol."
