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

"Abel, Abel, do you think my new clothes look good?"

The next day, Abel was stopped by Baby-5 just as he was about to go to training.

Generally speaking, girls develop earlier than boys, but before Baby-5, she always looked like a little girl, making people wonder if she also ate the Childhood Fruit, so she never grew up.

But this rumor has been debunked this year.

Baby-5, who is already 14 years old, has finally started to develop, and the development is very rapid. Not only is she growing taller, but her flat chest is also disappearing. She has a feeling of a budding flower just beginning to emerge, and she has already started to swell.

As baby-5 grows taller and develops rapidly, she can no longer wear her old clothes and needs to buy new ones every one or two months.

Unscientific?

It's unscientific, that's for sure. Don't forget what kind of world we live in.

"Why is it another maid outfit? And what's with the white stockings?"

"Isn't it pretty? On the way back, so many people were staring at me."

Baby-5 tilted my head and asked curiously.

A 14-year-old girl who has already begun to develop rapidly, wearing a maid outfit and white stockings, of course those LSPs would react like this!

It's worth noting that Dressrosa is a country known for its passion and fiery spirit.

There's even a "Lovers' Avenue"—a place specifically designed to torture single people.

At this rate of development, it's estimated that in a few years, Abel will be able to meet the baby he remembers most vividly – ​​Baby 5.

"Let's go, it's time to board the ship."

Abel wasn't an old-fashioned person; he wouldn't concern himself with what other people wore.

Baby-5, who was following behind, pouted slightly, "Damn it, I got tricked by the boss again."

I remember being tricked into buying a whole bunch of different colors and styles...

She decided to try a black outfit next time, and also wear those red high heels.

She wanted Abel to know that she was no longer the little child she once was.

Once aboard the New Flamingo, aside from Pica, Buffalo, Jorah, Dellinger who were responsible for staying behind in Dressrosa, Sugar who was in charge of the toy factory, and Trebol who was responsible for protecting her, the rest of the crew were taken along by Doflamingo.

Their destination was the underground black market on the island of Ula in the New World.

Meanwhile, the Donquixote Family also spread rumors in the underground dark world, starting to promote the artificial Devil Fruit.

Doflamingo believed that there would be a great many people interested in this.

To this end, he also made a series of plans.

The most important thing is how to get more people to see and believe in the effects of artificial Devil Fruits!

Chapter 585 Don Quixote Auction House

Ula Island was originally a lawless land in the New World, uncontrolled and unregulated.

Later, as more and more people came to sell stolen goods, and even several Devil Fruit transactions occurred, many forces began to take notice of this place.

After a period of fighting, it eventually became a stronghold of underground dark forces.

With the support of those kings of the underworld, Ula Island developed rapidly, and various auction houses, underground black markets, and so on were established.

There are even various channels specifically for selling stolen goods and laundering them for people to choose from.

Over time, this place became a well-known spot in the new world. People would bring anything they wanted to trade or anything they couldn't sell to try their luck here.

Of course, a place like this, where so many vicious and wicked people gather, is definitely not a charity.

Everything on the island costs money, even parking a boat requires a berthing fee, and it's quite substantial.

Only by paying the so-called "protection fee" can one be guaranteed a certain level of safety on the island.

However, once you leave the island, you will be responsible for all consequences!

Over the years, many people have bought treasures or carried huge sums of money, but due to carelessness, they have been killed at sea.

Therefore, when you come to a place like this, you must be conspicuous and careful.

If you offend someone you can't afford to offend, even if you run away immediately, you might not be able to escape.

Of course, the Donquixote Family, led by Doflamingo, is not included in this category.

Although Doflamingo appears to be a pirate, he has actually been deeply involved in the underground dark world, and most of his family's businesses are related to it.

Furthermore, they had an extremely close partnership with the king of loan sharks.

So for Doflamingo, coming to this place was no different from coming home.

This can be seen from their current walking posture.

In the middle stood Doflamingo, wearing a pink feather coat, while the rest of the family members lined up on both sides, completely blocking the street.

No one can or dares to make them give way.

Even those who were unhappy with them could only endure it after learning their identities.

In the New World, apart from the top-tier powers, ordinary pirates have no right to even touch the Donquixote Family.

The most powerful forces would almost never come to a place like this.

It would be more likely if the king of the underworld went there himself.

In addition, the fact that the tyrannical king was killed by the Don Quixote family more than a year ago also shocked countless people.

Keep in mind that even in the New World, the Evil King is a top-tier powerhouse with a bounty of hundreds of millions!

The news that was spread at the time was that he was killed by a member of the Donquixote Family, and he didn't even get to see Doflamingo.

However, few people believed it, and the Don Quixote family did not speak out, leading many to believe that the rumor was too exaggerated.

The actual situation may have been that it took a group of people to beat down the tyrannical king.

But that doesn't affect the final result; it just reduces the deterrent effect.

With an air of arrogance, Abel, a cigarette dangling from his lips, dressed in a well-tailored black suit and wearing Aquaman sunglasses, practically screamed "I'm a bad guy" all over his face.

Despite his flaws, his good looks still make him very popular with women.

To paraphrase Pique, "You stole all the limelight."

Abel's reply was: "What do you, a married man, want to show off? Aren't you afraid Lucienne will get angry?"

One strike is all it takes to kill!

Doflamingo also owns a business on Ula Island called Don Quixote Auction House.

This is also their destination.

Upon arriving at his own auction house, Doflamingo immediately inquired about the matters he had been instructed to handle before his arrival.

"Are all the auction items ready? Has the news been released?"

The person in charge bowed respectfully and said, "Young Master, as per your request, all the auction items have been prepared and are guaranteed to be rare and exquisite pieces."

"In addition, information about the final auction item has been disseminated through our family's internal channels."

"Many forces in the underworld have expressed interest, but they still have doubts about its authenticity."

"However, after hearing about it, Lord Du Feld, the king of loan sharks, said he would send his son over, and if the results were as advertised, he would book him long-term."

After listening to what the person in charge had to say, Doflamingo chuckled lightly.

He used to need huge sums of money from the king of loan sharks, but now he's powerful enough, controls multiple smuggling channels, and has no shortage of money.

If he hadn't felt there was no benefit in breaking ties with the other party, he would have done it long ago.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have left the other party unannounced this time.

money?

He wants it, but he wants more than just money; he wants influence!

Therefore, he would never provide it to any one faction; he wanted to sell this artificial Devil Fruit everywhere.

Only after they've tasted the sweetness of success will these guys realize who the real master is!

Long-term booking?

Go dream!

"Three days from now, the first auction will be held, and I'm going to make 'Smile' a household name!"

"Yes, young master!"

……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Doflamingo's use of his reputation as collateral certainly attracted many influential people to participate in the auction.

This includes the various kings of the underground dark world.

Of course, these top players are usually very busy and won't show up just because of some unsubstantiated rumor.

Therefore, those who come are people who can represent them to some extent.

Only when the effects and value are finally determined will they truly take it seriously.

In addition, some pirate forces that had somehow gotten wind of the situation also joined in the fun.

I estimate that about half of these people are here to try their luck.

But there are also those who are just there to watch the spectacle.

As for the top powers of the New World, none of them came; they probably didn't think much of them.

It's also possible that they didn't take it seriously.

Doflamingo was somewhat satisfied with this situation, or rather, it was within his expectations.

“Abel, maintain order at the scene. This auction cannot afford to fail. If anyone tries to cause trouble, deal with them accordingly.”

Abel asked directly, "Is it permissible to kill someone?"
