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

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, you've finally come, Abel, hehehehe~"

Seeing Abel arrive, Torebour seemed quite pleased. "This is sugar, the one you've seen before."

"Hello, Brother Abel~"

Sugar seemed to very politely climb down from the chair, then wiped her hands and held out her little hand to Abel, her smile full of childlike innocence.

Actually, he's extremely cunning!

I guess he wanted to play a joke on him and have some fun.

However, Abel, who knew the dangers of the Fruit of Childlike Innocence, was unlikely to fall for it.

He silently released Armament Haki to cover his right hand, then squatted down, chuckled, and extended his hand to shake hands with the other person.

Throughout the entire process, Torrepol watched with great interest, without stopping it, and even seemed to enjoy the spectacle.

bumped into!

When the two hands, one big and one small, were clasped together, Sugar's innocent smile suddenly turned into a triumphant smugness.

"Brother Abel was careless. Don't you know you should never underestimate children?"

Sugar blinked, but didn't activate her ability.

"Really? Why not give it a try?"

"Since Brother Abel said so himself, I won't stand on ceremony~"

Sugar, unwilling to accept defeat, directly used the power of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, intending to turn Abel into a toy.

However, something unexpected happened: Abel was still standing in front of her perfectly fine, without even changing his posture.

Although his smile was handsome and bright, it now seemed full of mockery.

"Why is this happening? Why did my abilities suddenly stop working?"

Sugar panicked a little and quickly tried to let go.

But this time, Abel wouldn't let her go.

"You know what? There's no such thing as an unsolvable ability in this world. Those talking and walking toys sold outside must be your creations."

"It is indeed a very dangerous ability, but if you want to turn me into a toy, you're probably a hundred years too early."

After saying that, Abel released Sugar's hand.

He had only used a little force, but he had almost crushed Sugar's wrist. Now, the little girl was in so much pain that tears were welling up in her eyes.

Abel did this on purpose to give Sugar a warning, so that she would never dare to use her Devil Fruit powers on him again.

There was no way around it; as he said, this ability was simply too dangerous.

The Hobby-Hobby Fruit's ability can turn anyone it touches into a toy of whatever the user desires, and the type and style of the toy are entirely determined by the user's preferences.

Furthermore, people who are related to the target who has been turned into a toy (such as relatives or friends) will lose all memories of their interactions with the target.

That's the most insane part!

Simply put, if someone is turned into a toy, that person will be erased from other people's memories, as if they never existed!

They were completely unaware that the people around them had actually disappeared.

Naturally, they wouldn't realize the danger, let alone be able to rescue them.

In addition, while the target is in toy form, they do not lose their language ability or independent thinking, but their body is controlled by the ability user and can be bound by various contracts.

For example, one must not harm humans, work for the family, or fight to the death, etc.

People who are turned into toys will not feel pain even if their limbs are torn off by external force.

Chapter 505 A Small Warning

Sometimes, Abel genuinely felt that some Paramecia-type Devil Fruit abilities were more monstrous than Logia-type or Mythical Zoan-type abilities!

One of them is the "Children's Fun Fruit".

The reason why Abel was unaffected by Sugar's ability was simple: his Armament Haki was stronger than Sugar's Devil Fruit ability.

That's why it was able to withstand the test and remain unaffected.

However, if the situation is reversed, and Sugar's Devil Fruit ability has been developed to a level stronger than his Armament Haki, then even if he uses Armament Haki, he will still be affected.

Ultimately, it comes down to who is stronger and who has taken precautions in advance.

After all, no one can maintain the level of Armament Haki covering their entire body 24 hours a day.

This is why Abel was wary and gave him a warning.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. It's your own fault for teasing Abel."

"This kid won't pretend nothing happened just because you're cute. He's the most vengeful person in the whole family."

"So you absolutely cannot use your abilities on family members again, understand?"

Seeing Sugar burst into tears, Torebol quickly stepped forward to comfort her and took the opportunity to educate Sugar.

Clearly, the family both needs this power and fears being devoured by it.

So, taking advantage of Abel's opportunity to play the bad cop, Torebour quickly jumped in to play the good cop and repeatedly warned Sugar that she must never use this power on any family member.

It's unclear whether the little girl truly listened, but after she gradually stopped crying, a hint of fear appeared in her eyes as she looked at Abel.

It even hid its body directly behind Torrepol's broad frame, only daring to show a small head.

Abel didn't bother arguing with Torrepol about it.

Let him be afraid if he's scared!

It's better to stay away from him, so you don't have to be on edge whenever you get close.

"Captain Dover sent me here to assist you in the initial planning stages. Then, when the time is right, everyone will come and we'll take this place in one fell swoop."

Abel sat in the chair that Sugar had been sitting in, then picked up the little girl's fruit basket and started eating without any hesitation, even sharing some with Baby-5.

The two ate happily, while Sugar, sulking, could only hide behind Torrepol and glare at him, looking somewhat aggrieved.

These grapes are all hers, sob sob...

Sugar tried to hold back, but in the end she couldn't help it and started biting her lip and sobbing.

Abel was quite helpless. The grapes he put in his mouth suddenly tasted bland, and he couldn't eat them no matter what he did.

They simply returned the remaining grapes to Sugar.

He threatened, "If you cry again, I'll eat all the rest of these grapes."

Sugar's sobs came to an abrupt end!

Then, clutching the fruit basket, he hurriedly ran away with small, quick steps.

Obviously, you should stay away from bad people!

At this point, Torrepol began to talk about the current progress, and Abel listened carefully.

"The plan is progressing smoothly so far. Monet has successfully infiltrated the palace and become a maidservant to the princess. She can open the palace at any time and take the princess hostage to support us."

"Furthermore, many of the Royal Army soldiers in the palace were secretly captured by us, turned into toys from sugar, and completely disappeared from people's memories."

"Before the young master arrives, we can use this method to silently eliminate at least half of the soldiers in the palace."

"The rest can't be moved anymore. The later part of the plan requires these soldiers to put on a good show, hehehehe."

After listening, Abel asked, "Then what else do you need me to do?"

"Uh, you're still very important... By the way, the toy business is booming lately, and there's a bit of a shortage of 'raw materials.' Go and bring back more people and let them do whatever they want! Anyway, once they're turned into toys, no one will remember them anymore."

Torrepol hesitated at first, but quickly came up with a good way to get rid of Abel.

It's clear that Doflamingo only sent Abel to Dressrosa on a whim, without actually deciding what he wanted him to do there.

Or rather, he wasn't needed at all in the early stages of the plan.

This is very embarrassing.

Doflamingo intends to take over Dressrosa openly and legitimately, so there will be very few situations where he needs to resort to force.

They all basically converge on the final moment when the true intentions are revealed.

So for now, all Abel can do is work at the toy store.

"That's it? I have to do it myself? Aren't there any other, more challenging tasks?"

Abel complained, feigning dissatisfaction.

Torrepol was also helpless. "How about... I give you a few days off so you can get familiar with the environment first?"

Abel nodded reluctantly. "Alright, that's all for now. We'll contact you again if anything comes up."

Because he wears the "Aquaman sunglasses," no one can see his true thoughts through his eyes.

Except for those with the ability of the Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit.

After securing paid leave, Abel decisively led his men away.

Then we went to the bullfighting arena for a quick look around.

I only watched two shows before I became drowsy.

Unfortunately, this kind of stalemate between two weaklings really didn't interest Abel at all.

In the original story, Doflamingo made the same mistake again, insisting on using the Flame-Flame Fruit to attract various forces and then holding the highest-level tournament ever.

The process was exciting, but the result was speechless.

They always mess things up, ending up giving someone else a free ride.

Doflamingo is like a money-giving boy, from the Op-Op Fruit to the Gold-Gold Fruit, and then to the Flame-Flame Fruit.

He had once held so many powerful fruits in his hands, but he failed to keep any of them, and they all went to others.

Unable to bear watching any longer, Abel decisively left the scene, then strolled along Lovers' Avenue, heading outwards until he finally arrived near the iron bridge connecting Greenbite.

Greenbit is an isolated island located north of Dressrosa.
