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

To her delight, Abel actually made such a promise to her, clearly telling her that he could liberate Dressrosa.

The problem is that the cost of liberating Dressrosa is too high, and she simply cannot afford it.

Let's not even talk about whether we can buy those three great swords and twenty-one other swords. Even if we could, how much would they cost?

It's an astronomical figure!

There's absolutely no way she could do it.

If that's all there is to it, then the promise is practically meaningless, and she will fall into despair.

But then she heard another glimmer of hope.

"contribute?"

"That's right. In a while, I will implement a contribution system in the guild, and make it more precise. Every point of contribution will have a corresponding value and can be exchanged for any item in the guild, including but not limited to money, positions, various weapons, even famous swords, all kinds of rare items from the sea, and even Devil Fruits!"

"As long as you have enough contribution points, you can exchange them for anything you want in the guild, even an entire country, no problem at all."

After hearing Abel's brief account, Violet was stunned by this bombshell news.

She asked anxiously, "How do I obtain these contribution points? How many contribution points are needed to exchange for Dressrosa?"

Abel sat up, smiled at her, then picked up a grape and said, "The guild will release a lot of tasks every day, and completing them will earn you contribution points. In addition, there will be points for contributing to the guild's development, actively participating in battles, killing important enemy officers, and so on."

"A detailed set of rules for earning contribution points will be released soon, which will record all the ways to earn contribution points and a list of how to redeem them."

"Want to stand out from the crowd? Want to get rich? Want to be superior to others? Wealth, status, power, beautiful women—as long as you contribute to the guild and make sufficient contributions, the guild can help you achieve anything you want."

"This is the role of contribution."

Violet was both shocked and felt that it was impossible to achieve after hearing it.

Because no matter how you look at it, the contribution required to gain access to a country is definitely enormous, and it's not something that can be easily exchanged.

But can she really accumulate enough contribution points?

Ten years, twenty years, or fifty years?

Violet was genuinely pessimistic at that moment.

But at that moment, a peeled grape was put directly into her mouth.

"As cadres of different ranks, we receive a fixed contribution score as our salary each month. In addition, taking good care of the chairman's daily life is an important task, and the contribution score reward is not low."

Violet wasn't stupid; she figured it out immediately and stopped obsessing over it.

The entire guild belongs to Abel, so how much contribution points to distribute is just a matter of a word.

Moreover, she is accumulating contribution points to exchange for Dressrosa, which will not cause any loss to the guild or cause inflation problems.

Having figured it out, Violet immediately looked at someone with watery eyes, her gaze passionate and fiery.

Chapter 718 Devil Fruit Ability Conversion Device

After revealing some inside information to Violet, Abel felt that the way the woman looked at him was a little strange, as if she wanted to devour him whole.

But considering how closely Baby-5 is watching him, Violet probably doesn't have much of a chance for now.

Then an uninvited guest appeared.

“Brother Abel, you are really heartless. You forget the old for the new.”

Stussy, dressed in light clothing and carrying a pink princess parasol, walked over, seemingly trying to look younger than she was.

"Stousy?"

Why is it this woman again?

Abel frowned slightly, wondering how the other party had found him.

He didn't make a big fuss about taking people on vacation.

"You actually managed to find your way here. Should I praise you for being so capable, or admit that there are too many traitors within the guild?"

"Just a little trick~"

Stusi smiled and then took out a life card.

The life card was in her palm, slowly moving in a certain direction.

Abel was somewhat surprised. "Life Card? Mine?"

Stusi shook his head and looked at Baby-5 beside him.

"The time you taught her makeup?"

Abel immediately recalled that after their first chance encounter, Stussy taught Baby-5 how to do makeup and dress up. He must have collected Baby-5's nails during that time and then made this Vivre Card.

And because of Baby-5's special nature, Abel basically took her with him wherever he went, so that Stussy could easily keep track of his movements.

This explains the subsequent "chance encounters".

"This woman deliberately arranged the meeting without me noticing at all. She's really something."

Abel's eyes narrowed. If the other party hadn't revealed this trump card today, he would still be in the dark and would have to thoroughly investigate who in the guild leaked his whereabouts when he got back.

But if you do that, it means you've gone in the wrong direction from the very beginning.

"Why did you tell me? If you hadn't told me, I probably wouldn't have thought of it."

Seeing Stusi nod, Abel asked a question out of curiosity.

Stussy, however, said with a serious expression, "Because I want to have an open and honest talk with you, just the two of us. And telling you this is to show my sincerity."

Abel knew that the purpose of the other party's repeated approaches to him was about to be revealed.

But to be honest, he really didn't want to know.

Even a fool could see that anything involving CP0 would be a huge problem.

But now it seems it's too late for him to not know.

Since the other party has managed to get here, they will likely do the same in the future, unless we just kill her.

But doing that would also be a big problem.

So he decided to listen to what the other party wanted to do first, and then decide how to do it.

"You guys go play over there for a while."

Abel dismissed all the women around him and then looked at Stusi, who was sitting next to him as if they were old friends.

"I need your help to save someone."

"Who to save? When?"

Stussy shook his head. "I can't tell you now. I'll contact you as soon as the time is right."

Abel was both amused and annoyed. "You ask me for a favor and then say nothing. I don't know who you're saving or when. You should find someone else. I can't help you with this, and I don't want to."

“I know this request is a bit excessive, but I have my own reasons for not being able to make it.”

"I already said I won't help, please leave."

Abel didn't even bother to look at her. What was she? Was she too caught up in the role and actually believed there was something between them?

Help, help, help my ass!

Without mentioning any benefits, they just want to "buy a free meal" (not a typo, it's intentional). What do they take him for? A great philanthropist?

Seeing this, Stussy knew that if she didn't come up with something that could impress the other party, she would have come for nothing.

So she put her suitcase on the ground and opened it.

Then the suitcase began to transform rapidly, eventually turning into a rather strangely shaped piece of equipment.

Stussy explained, "This is the World Government's latest research: a Devil Fruit power conversion device."

"With this, even inanimate 'objects' can eat Devil Fruits, creating special Devil Fruit power items."

"To give you an example, if you put Kaido's Azure Dragon Fruit and this sword in my hand into the upper and lower layers of the device, you can get a [Azure Dragon Sword], a sword that can transform into an azure dragon and come to life!"

Upon hearing this, Abel immediately realized that this was the Devil Fruit power conversion technology that Vegapunk had developed.

In the original work, the "Elephant Sword" is a sword that has eaten the Elephant Fruit and can attack according to the user's commands or even will.

Under normal circumstances, anyone who possesses such a weapon would see a significant boost in their strength.

The fact that Stussy was able to get his hands on something like this is enough to show that he is no ordinary person.

Why did this woman have to use Kaido's Blue Dragon Fruit, who is already dead, as an example?

Did he realize something, or did he think that Kaido's Devil Fruit ability would leave a deeper impression on him?

Abel wasn't entirely sure, but the instrument was indeed very valuable.

In the future, the number of Devil Fruits he will be able to acquire will definitely increase.

Some can be sold in the system's store or used as traded items.

However, using some of the more precious ones in this way would undoubtedly be a waste.

For example, the Azure Dragon Fruit and the Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit that he recently acquired.

Jhin and Quinn, whom he imprisoned, were also precious fruits of ancient Zoan-type beings.

Selling it for trading points would be too much of a loss.

He can only eat one more Devil Fruit at most now, so what about the rest? Are they just going to rot in his hands forever?

It wasn't that he was reluctant to give it to his subordinates.

The main problem is that there isn't a suitable candidate.

Potential and loyalty are both essential.

Otherwise, he would rather let it rot in his hands.

But now, Stussy's appearance with this instrument seems to have provided him with another path.

Combining items with Devil Fruits can also unleash great power.

Furthermore, his Dark-Dark Fruit power allows him to destroy objects at any time and re-extract Devil Fruits.
