Joseph spoke with exceptional sincerity, after all, whether he could leave alive depended on this.
Abel swirled his wine glass. "I'm willing to trust you this once, but my men aren't going to let you go so easily."
"No matter who is behind this, someone has to pay the price."
The three exchanged glances and tentatively asked, "What's the price?"
"Either leave your life behind, or pay with a Devil Fruit. One Devil Fruit for one person, no cheating."
Joseph was about to speak again when Abel stood up and interrupted him.
"I know you can't make the decision, so hurry up and report it."
Give me an answer in 10 minutes.
"I'm also very curious to see what your Celestial Dragon master will choose."
After saying this, Abel laughed and left.
World government?
CP0?
Celestial Dragons?
Sooner or later they'll all have to kneel before him!
Abel didn't care whether the World Government would try to fool him with some trash Devil Fruits; what he wanted was the aura of overwhelming the other party!
Chapter 758 A Belated Revenge!
"...Yes, sir, I know what to do."
While Joseph and his two companions were contacting the Five Elders, Abel was also eavesdropping on everything using a Den Den Mushi (snail-shaped wiretapping device).
They probably realized that their every move, and even every word they said, was being monitored, so they were extremely careful with their words and did not reveal anything they should not have said.
He simply explained what had happened and then informed Abel of his various requests.
The Five Elders on the other end of the Den Den Mushi probably knew they couldn't talk right now, so they just said "uh-huh" and hung up.
It should be time to start discussing it.
A few minutes later, Joseph received another message from the Five Elders.
"I have already sent people to transport three Devil Fruits there, and members of the royal family from White Town will also be going. You know what to do after that."
"Yes, I'll understand later."
Even Abel underestimated the Five Elders' decisiveness, as they not only agreed to his conditions but also conveniently sent the royal family members of White Town along with him.
It seems they are willing to go to any lengths to appease him temporarily, lest he go berserk and act recklessly.
Another possible reason is that Lucci and his team's successful infiltration gave them another hope for solving the problem, so they decided to give it a try.
Before ten minutes had even passed, Joseph agreed to pay the ransom, but said he would have to wait a few days.
Abel already knew the outcome, so he was not surprised at all.
They were immediately taken away and placed under strict guard.
a few days later.
The World Government's ships arrived at Beehive Island, bringing what Abel wanted.
"These are the goods from this transaction. Please inspect them."
The visitor was also a member of CP0, named Guernica.
His face was painted like a white mask, his eyes were black and white, there was a scar on his right eye, he wore robot-like earmuffs, and he had a light beard.
His attire included a white bowler hat and a long, dark scarf with many blue polka dots. He wore a long white coat over a white double-breasted suit jacket and a dark tie.
In short, their styles are consistent and all are exceptionally eccentric.
After disembarking and meeting Abel, he immediately opened the black briefcase in his hand, revealing the three Devil Fruits inside.
Yes, they are all the most common and easiest-to-obtain Zoan-type Devil Fruits.
They are: Ox-Ox Fruit - Yak Form, Horse-Horse Fruit - Zebra Form, and Dog-Dog Fruit - Husky Form.
EMMMMMMMMM……
Although he had long anticipated that the World Government would not offer the precious Devil Fruits in exchange for those few CP0 members, Abel still briefly went into a daze after hearing the names of these Devil Fruits.
Yaks and zebras are one thing, but what the hell is a husky?
Is your house-destroying ability maxed out?
Abel was utterly speechless, so much so that his expression turned somewhat displeased.
Fortunately, he was a man of his word, so he released Joseph and the other two as agreed.
"Besides these Devil Fruits, the Five Elders also asked me to bring a small gift."
"Bring it with you."
Guernica forced an awkward smile, then ordered his men to take the group of people, all in handcuffs and shackles, off the ship.
These people were once the royal family of the White Town!
There were a total of 32 people, including men and women, young and old, and judging from their complexions, they should all be doing well.
After all, even if the World Government is poor, it can't possibly let them go hungry, and they don't need to do any work on a daily basis.
In reality, these pampered good-for-nothings can't do much work.
The world government keeps these parasites around precisely to deal with situations like today.
Just as garbage can be recycled and reused, these useless rice weevils will eventually come in handy.
"let me go!"
"I want to see Lord Spandam!"
"Do you even know who I am? How dare you treat me like this?"
"How dare you damned agents kidnap us and bring us here behind the backs of those higher-ups?!"
"Mommy, I want my mommy, waaaaah..."
Curses, wails, and screams filled the air; it was extremely noisy.
boom!
With a gunshot, the noise instantly vanished.
"Since it's a gift to me, I can do whatever I want with it."
Abel, whose gun was still smoking, looked at the CP0 members and asked.
Ahead, a very well-off middle-aged man lay dead in a pool of blood.
This act of making an example of someone to scare others completely intimidated them. No one dared to make a sound anymore. Even those who were frightened to tears covered their mouths tightly, showing expressions of extreme fear.
"Of course, you have now transferred control over them. From this day forward, they are your slaves."
Guernica bowed slightly. "If there's nothing else, please allow us to take our leave."
"I have seen the sincerity of your World Government, but my conditions will not change. Go back and tell the Five Elders that I am not very patient, so don't keep me waiting too long."
Abel's words made them stiffen, but they dared not say anything and quickly boarded the ship to leave.
As for the fate of these people... it was already sealed the day the White Town was destroyed.
So naturally they ignored the bursts of gunfire coming from behind them.
"You have to die!"
"Don't kill me, please..."
"We didn't want to do that either, it was the World Government, the World Government forced us to!"
"You lowly people! Why don't you all just die?! Just die already!"
"I'll haunt you even as a ghost."
……
"To be honest, you don't even qualify to become ghosts. If ghosts really exist in this world, you would be the first to be torn apart."
Abel finally lowered the muzzle of his gun and gazed silently at the sky.
After the CP0 members left, he executed one by one these cowardly royal traitors who had betrayed the people.
They didn't use knives, they used guns.
Because they don't deserve it!
I'm afraid of getting the knife dirty!
Thirty-two people, men, women, young and old, none were spared, and no one was spared; no mercy was shown!
Abel executed the group in public, remaining unmoved no matter how much they knelt and begged.
cruel?
Cold-blooded?
Compared to what these people did, he was far too kind, waiting until now to take revenge on them.
"Cut off their heads and keep them safe."
"Then I will go back to Beihai to pay tribute to my parents and all the innocent people who died in that conspiracy with these people's heads."
"Yes, Chairman, I'll go prepare right away."
Kalifa, dressed in an office lady outfit, immediately pushed up her glasses and took notes.
At the same time, she was also recording in her mind: Gustavus Abel is cruel, ruthless, and vindictive. He will not show any mercy to his enemies based on their gender or age. It is not advisable to use threats.
