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

This is what makes the cat viper angry.

But Inuarashi was well aware of all this.

It's just that he considers things more deeply and has to take the overall situation into account.

After the previous probing, Duke Inuarashi was basically certain that the human named Abel in front of him was fearless and had nothing to fear!

Furthermore, not only is their strength unfathomable, but the organization they belong to is also likely a behemoth comparable to the Beasts Pirates.

More than a decade ago, Kaido led the Beasts Pirates to occupy Wano Country, forced Kozuki Oden to his death, and routed the Nine Red Scabbards. They only managed to escape thanks to Kozuki Oden's last burst of energy and a bit of luck.

Now, if we rashly provoke and offend the other party...

Will the Woolman Principality follow in its footsteps?

How many more people will die then?

Therefore, Duke Inuarashi's intention has always been to avoid a complete falling out with the other party and to wait until he has thoroughly investigated what the other party said before deciding whether to be friend or foe.

If Kaido really did die at the hands of the other party, it would be equivalent to avenging Kozuki Oden, making him and Nekomamushi's benefactors!

In this situation, how can we still pursue the matter of injuring someone?

Don't forget, both sides are actually responsible for this.

Although Abel entered the forbidden area, it was by mistake.

Roddy and BB, on the other hand, acted rashly and attacked Abel directly.

If attacked, are we not allowed to fight back?

This is a logic that can't be found anywhere else.

Therefore, it's best to avoid delving too deeply into such matters.

Given his concerns, he was even less able to show favoritism to his own people like the Cat Viper.

Unfortunately, because Abel was present, he had no way to explain these things to the cat viper.

The cat viper didn't seem to want to hear his explanation; it just wanted to see what he would do.

Neither side would back down, and the atmosphere quickly became tense.

Even Pedro, who had informed the Cat Viper boss, couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He never expected that Duke Inuarashi would be so hostile to Nekomamushi because of an outsider, as if they were about to fight to the death.

Or perhaps the two of them had long wanted to have a good fight?

But at that moment, Abel suddenly bypassed Duke Inuarashi and came to Nekomamushi and the others.

"If you want to avenge those two good-for-nothings, then go ahead and do it. Your arrogant attitude disgusts me. If you were really brave, you wouldn't have been hiding here all these years, afraid to go and cause trouble for Kaido."

Abel lit a special cigarette.

At this moment, the words that had just reopened old wounds, coupled with the magical effect of the [Special Supply Cigarettes], made him appear exceptionally terrifying and mysterious in the eyes of the Cat Viper!

"Inuarashi! Damn it! What did you say to him?!"

The cat viper looked at Inuarashi with a mixture of shock and anger, its voice sharp and piercing.

Inuarashi was completely bewildered; he hadn't said a word.

Oh, no, actually I did say some things.

He mentioned Wano Country and Kaido because of his loss of composure.

Could it be that just one sentence allowed the other party to guess their identities?

Abel laughed, his voice dripping with contempt. "No one really thinks I just happened to be passing by, right? As a retainer of Kozuki Oden, you should be extremely familiar with these two famous swords, shouldn't you? The Nine Red Scabbards hiding in the shadows? Heh."

The cat viper finally noticed the four weapons hanging from his waist, and was instantly shocked!

"This can't be... How is this possible!"

First, his identity was exposed, then they recognized these famous swords, and the effects of the "special supply cigarettes" continued to take hold, making Abel appear extremely tall and mysterious in their eyes, so they dared not make the slightest move.

On the contrary, people who don't know you at all won't find it surprising. This is a typical case of putting on airs for the blind.

Then Inuarashi said in a deep voice, "This Mr. Abel is the president of the Dragon Hunter Guild. Kaido and his Beast Pirates have been driven out of Wano Country by him. He has also made a deal with the people of Wano Country, exchanging these famous swords for the autonomy of Wano Country. So Wano Country is very likely to be... free now."

"That's just this person's side of the story, I don't believe it!"

The cat viper had actually believed some of it, but was still being stubborn.

"To be honest, I also have some doubts, so I'm going to leave here and head to Wano Country to find out what's going on."

"I will go with you!"

"Ok?"

"Don't get me wrong, you old dog. I just suspect that you and this outsider are conspiring to deceive me, so I want to witness it for myself."

"What if it's true?"

“Then…then I will bow deeply to this…this Mr. Abel to apologize and acknowledge his kindness!”

The cat viper is bold in love and hate, and dares to take responsibility for his actions. He gritted his teeth and set a flag right away.

Then Duke Inuarashi looked at Abel.

Abel nodded. “In that case, my ship is down below. You can come with me to Wano Country.”

"But I also have conditions..."

Chapter 740: Take your seat!

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi agreed to Abel's terms without much hesitation, and then each led their own people to Wano Country.

After all, we should always be on guard against others.

Deep down, they still couldn't quite believe that this young man could actually defeat Kaido.

They had also suspected that this might be a trap set for them, designed to lure them out.

However, the probability is somewhat low.

After all, their only enemies are Kaido and the Beasts Pirates.

Given the size and strength of the Beasts Pirates, there's absolutely no need for these fancy tricks to deal with them.

As for other forces...

They have nothing to fear as long as it's not the Big Mom Pirates.

Because they had once served on the Whitebeard Pirates and shared a bond, the Whitebeard Pirates would never harm them.

……

A few days later, when they successfully arrived in Wano Country, they found that everything had indeed changed.

The Beasts Pirates, who were stationed here, have disappeared.

Kurozumi Orochi and all his henchmen were gone too.

Everywhere you look, you can see relaxed expressions on the faces of the people of Wano Country.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi went from being extremely wary at the beginning, to being suspicious, disbelieving, and bewildered, until finally being shocked!

It turns out that hiding in the Woolen Principality was definitely outdated.

Here, after their questioning and investigation, they finally learned what had happened.

The outsider was definitely not lying to them!

It's even too low-key!

The name Gustavus Abel is already famous throughout the world; everyone knows him!

On the high seas, wielding the national treasure sword Shusui of Wano Country, he slew Kaido and proclaimed it to the world!

He severed Admiral Kizaru's arm with a single strike and single-handedly repelled ten warships! (Rumors may contain exaggerations.)

He is widely and respectfully addressed as the Sea Emperor, the Pirate Emperor!

He is known as one of the Four Emperors, along with Edward Newgate (Whitebeard), Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom), and Shanks (Red Hair).

The Dragon Hunter Guild they established is a powerful force in the New World, a behemoth!

Even the Navy and the World Government dared not act rashly.

Heaven knows how shocked and terrified Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were when they saw the newspaper and heard about these things!

One Kaido rendered them powerless.

As a result, they almost offended someone even more terrifying than Kaido.

And he was their benefactor!

Yes, that's my benefactor.

Killing Kaido and Orochi is equivalent to avenging Kozuki Oden, and as Kozuki Oden's retainers, this favor should naturally fall on them.

Furthermore, even though it is a transaction.

It took three great swords and twenty-one strikes to win back the country's freedom.

But in reality, this favor is no less than the former.

Anyone with eyes can see that Abel was intentionally returning the country to them.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even have the right to make demands.

This is the tragedy brought about by the inequality between status and strength.

So much so that the people of Wano Country, who are still not on the right track and have not yet elected a new general, did the first thing they did with ancient craftsmanship to carve all the things that Abel and the Dragon Hunter Guild had done onto a stone tablet.

This will be history from now on!

I wonder if, hundreds of years from now, people will be drawn to historical records in the same way that people are now searching for them, moved by the events that happened back then.

……

"Old dog, is this really Wano Country?"
