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

If it weren't for the fact that Whitebeard's weapon was a top-tier cursed artifact: Owl, which was more powerful and agile than Oz's ice crystal mace, the battle might have already ended.

After watching for a while, Abel nodded and called a halt to the fighting.

Then he indicated that Oz still had any skills he could use.

Oz thought for a moment, then suddenly opened his mouth, and a large amount of negative energy rapidly condensed...

"This is……"

Abel paused for a moment.

While he was distracted, a jet-black energy sphere formed from a large amount of negative energy flew straight towards the sea.

boom! !

The waves surged, countless splashes of water, and countless fish and shrimp fell like rain.

"Isn't that a Tailed Beast Ball?!"

Abel accidentally swore.

It turns out that fusing the essence of the tailed beasts is not as simple as it seems.

This was quite a surprise for him!

Clearly, Oz still has a lot of potential to be tapped.

The development schedule for the samosa fruit also needs to be arranged.

I need to find a way to get this guy a decent weapon...

Abel was overwhelmed by the thought of all this.

It's true that having a pet is never easy, no matter the time.

The only good news is that Oz doesn't need to eat; he can survive and maintain sufficient vitality by absorbing negative energy every day.

Abel released the psychic communication, and Oz disappeared with a bang.

That's the contract space that comes with the summoning beast contract; it's available whenever you call, which is incredibly convenient.

The same thing happened to Big White. After it returned to its original size, Abel put it into a portable suitcase and then directly into the system package.

Just as he finished doing all this and was about to leave, the Den Den Mushi in his pocket suddenly rang.

Upon examining it, I discovered it was a message from Doflamingo.

He knew without even thinking that another task had fallen to his shoulders.

"Abel, where have you run off to again, you little rascal?"

As soon as the call connected, Doflamingo's somewhat resentful tone came through the phone.

Abel picked at his ear with his little finger and said, "After we took Dressrosa, everyone was given a holiday, so it's only natural that I would run around and travel."

Doflamingo's tone faltered slightly before returning to normal, and he said, "The holiday is over, and now I have a mission for you."

"What mission?"

"I'll tell you when you come back."

"Okay, I'll go back right away."

……

Abel, with Baby-5, returned to the New World, Dressrosa, in the shortest possible time.

Doflamingo had been waiting for him for a long time at the King's Heights.

The task assigned to him was somewhat unexpected.

“I’ve already had someone investigate. That guy named Caesar Clown is indeed quite capable. He even worked with Vegapunk before… Oh, you know Vegapunk, right? He’s the world’s number one scientist.”

Abel nodded helplessly. Anyone with a bit of power or status couldn't possibly have been unaware of Vegapunk's name!

Almost all of the world governments' technological achievements that are decades or even centuries ahead of the rest of the world are the work of this person.

Judge and Vegapunk also worked together for many years.

"In short, this guy was expelled from the World Government's science team and arrested for developing some overly dangerous weapons of mass destruction."

"But he managed to escape recently and then presented some of his research findings to seek collaborators."

"After receiving the message, I took a liking to one of their technologies and felt it was an opportunity. So I need you to go and verify its authenticity for me."

"If it's confirmed that it's really as amazing as that guy boasted, then we'll continue discussing cooperation."

"If it's fake, just cut it down."

After Doflamingo finished speaking, Abel understood which part of the original story hadn't been mentioned in detail.

However, he didn't rush to agree. Instead, he asked, "Since the other party is seeking partners, besides us, which other forces are involved?"

Doflamingo immediately gave him an approving look. "Not bad, there are some competitors besides us this time."

Chapter 576 Discussing Cooperation Requires Sincerity

According to Doflamingo's intelligence, most of the well-known and powerful forces in the underworld have learned of this news.

It's just that some people are interested, while others scoff at it.

So there will definitely be competitors, maybe quite a few, but who they will be is uncertain at this time.

Abel was speechless. This was a huge trap!

He remembered that Caesar Clown was extremely cunning. After accepting Doflamingo's funding and cooperating with him, he secretly accepted Big Mom's research funding behind Doflamingo's back.

Then he stood Big Mom up and used the money to enjoy himself.

As a result, in the end only some defective products were produced... and he almost got caught by Big Mom and burned alive!

This guy is incredibly audacious!

It's obvious that some messy things will definitely happen then.

But Doflamingo entrusted him with this important task, and it was his first assignment after becoming the highest-ranking executive in the family. Not only could he not refuse, but he also had to complete it cleanly and efficiently.

This way, people won't have the opportunity to gossip behind your back.

However, putting everything else aside, Caesar Courant was indeed a true scientific research talent.

If he had discovered it earlier, he probably would have taken action.

Of course, it wasn't about paying them money to be a sucker; it was about directly suppressing and arresting them by force and taking them to our old friend, Judge, to deal with.

They were all colleagues back then, and even after Caesar Courland regained his freedom in the original story, he went to seek refuge with Judge.

On the contrary, Quinn and Judge seem to be at odds...

Before leaving, Doflamingo suddenly remembered and asked, "Isn't your ship finished yet? How long has it been? Did someone cheat you?"

Abel's face darkened immediately, and he said stiffly, "It'll be soon, it'll be soon."

Upon seeing his appearance, Doflamingo was immediately delighted. "Fufufufufu, don't embarrass me when you go. I've lent you the Flamingo. Remember to bring plenty of men; don't let the atmosphere get out of hand."

Abel, true to his act, simply turned dark-faced and left without a word.

Once outside, his expression immediately returned to calm.

He pondered Doflamingo's earlier words and knew that he had to bring Monet and Violet along this time.

Before he was the highest-ranking official, he could run around everywhere and do whatever he wanted.

But now, as the highest-ranking member of the family, he naturally has to fulfill more responsibilities and can't just disappear all the time.

Doflamingo probably also hopes that Monet and Violet can keep an eye on him.

what?

You asked about baby-5?

Isn't that just a complete freebie?!

After resting for a day, Abel didn't stand on ceremony and drove off in his original Flamingo.

Now that Doflamingo has a bigger and better new Flamingo, the original one has naturally been shelved.

Because of the ship's special nature, no one dares to touch it under normal circumstances.

Only Abel's status as a top executive could keep him in check, which is why Doflamingo offered to lend him the ship.

This time, Abel didn't pull any tricks. He brought along all the members of the Hearts Army—Baby-5, Monet, and Violet—along with a boatload of his underlings, and set off.

Target: Punk Hazard!

At this point, Punk Hazard had also become a desolate, dead island.

But that was because Caesar Courland detonated his carefully crafted poison gas before he was captured, causing the extinction of all life on the island.

However, with Caesar Couran's return to Punk Hazard, the problem of poison gas had naturally been resolved.

Since Aokiji and Akainu didn't have a major battle there, the topic of "Ice and Fire Island" is irrelevant.

So when Abel led his men to Punk Hazard, there was nothing unusual about the island except for its deathly silence.

Before they had gone far, several oddly shaped men dressed in prison uniforms and wearing steel collars around their necks came up to them.

Ask them which faction they belong to and what they are doing here.

Abel didn't even bother to speak, so Monet stepped in and said that they were from the Donquixote Family and were there on behalf of Doflamingo to discuss cooperation with Caesar Clown.

Only after receiving this reply did they follow Caesar Courant's prior instructions and lead the way.

Before long, they arrived at the outside of the only remaining research base in the area.

"Welcome everyone to visit my territory. Please come in, let's talk in detail after we meet, whoosh ...

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

As the institute's doors opened, Abel and his colleagues continued their exploration.

The place was quite large, and after passing through countless gates, we finally met the mad scientist Caesar Courant in a reception room.

This guy was wearing a suit and trousers, blue on top and yellow on the bottom, with an afro on his head. It was really hard to tell whether his outfit was formal or informal.
