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

"Wait...wait a minute!"

"Are you leaving now?"

Nami asked hurriedly.

This was clearly the best outcome, but for some reason she didn't want the other person to leave so soon.

"Anything else?"

Nami immediately came up with a clever idea: "You helped us drive away the evil dragon and his gang. We have no way to repay this kindness, but at least stay for a meal so we can show you some hospitality."

"That sounds good, but we have other things to do. I have my own reasons for dealing with the evil dragon and his gang, and I don't need your thanks. That's all, I'm leaving."

Abel had no intention of taking Nami with him, so he left decisively.

Nami was a little disappointed, but she still shouted loudly towards the front:

"My name is Nami. May I know your name?"

“Abel, Gustavus Abel.”

Abel waved his hand without turning his head and said.

"Gustavus Abel? That name sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before."

Nami muttered to herself, somewhat lost in thought.

Then suddenly, her eyes widened as she remembered seeing the name and photo in the newspaper!

That's right, it's him!

Gustavus Abel, the Dragon Slayer with a bounty of 5,355,500,000 Berries, is one of the Four Emperors!

How could such an important figure appear in the East China Sea so discreetly?!

Nami was stunned and really wanted to chase after him to ask him what was going on.

But she stopped in her tracks; to have the chance to meet such an important person even once was already a stroke of luck in her life.

She also helped the villagers deal with the evil dragon and his gang; she couldn't ask for more.

"Even if I told people about this, no one would believe me."

"Never mind, let's tell everyone the good news first."

Nami smiled with relief, deciding not to reveal Abel's name, since no one would believe her anyway.

Soon after, when the villagers followed Nami to the 'Evil Dragon Empire' with some skepticism, they were terrified when they saw the fish-men corpses scattered all over the place. They turned pale with fright and then began to weep bitterly, shouting that heaven had eyes!

They were finally saved!

Thanks to Nami for finding the bounty hunter.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, the villagers explained that they deliberately didn't speak to Nami in order to protect her.

Nami covered the tattoo on her arm and decided to change it into a different design.

Chapter 793 A Hypocritical Nation

"President, our destination, Dong Island, is just ahead."

"Ah."

Abel stood on the deck, looking at the spotless country ahead, hailed as the most beautiful country in the East China Sea, a slight sneer on his lips.

This country reminded him of the cities in the world of Attack on Titan.

The country was surrounded by tall, sturdy stone walls, isolating it from the dangerous jungles and garbage heaps outside, as if doing so would make those unpleasant things simply disappear.

This country, which has perfectly eliminated unnecessary things, can be considered a successful example of an 'isolated society'.

For this reason, even the Celestial Dragons have visited this place.

In reality, it's nothing more than burying one's head in the sand.

Those royalty and nobles are so hypocritical it's disgusting!

"Let's change locations and land from there."

Abel saw the windmills outside the wall and simply told his men to dock from that side.

In any case, he had no good feelings towards the Kingdom of Goa.

Shortly after Abel led his men off the ship to Windmill Village, a warship was rapidly approaching Dong Island.

……

"Rubber machine gun!"

"Ah, hit hit hit hit hit..."

"Too slow, Luffy! You can't defeat the enemy with such soft punches!"

While pointing out Luffy's shortcomings in the fight, Ace precisely dodged all the punches and arrived in front of Luffy.

Startled, Luffy hurriedly tried to pull back his fist to defend himself, but it was too late.

With a thud, Ace delivered a flying kick to his face, sending him flying with a scream as he crashed to the ground.

Another resounding victory!

"Damn it, we lost again!"

"But I will definitely beat you one day, Ace!"

Despite suffering countless defeats, Luffy always manages to stand up again, never giving up.

"You're still a long way from defeating me, Luffy!"

Ace laughed.

Since Sabo's accident, he and Luffy have gone through a painful period that helped them grow, and they have both become less naive and more determined.

The number of battles increased, all in an effort to become stronger.

Ace even went to the PARTYS BAR, a small tavern in the port of Windmill Village, and asked the owner, Makino, to teach him manners.

The reason is that originally only Sabo knew manners and etiquette.

After Sabo's accident, Ace resolved to be a good role model for his older brother and take care of his younger brother Luffy. He wanted to learn Sabo's gentle and polite side and use this method to remember Sabo.

But although he did study, he never managed to cure his habit of going off-topic from time to time.

"Ace, where are you going?"

"I'm going to find Makino."

"I am coming too!"

"If you can catch up, I'll take you there."

"Oh, you jumped the gun! How cunning!"

One after the other, Ace's laughter and Luffy's complaining voices rang out alternately.

When Ace and Luffy arrived at the PARTYS BAR, they were surprised to find that the usually quiet pub was packed with people.

Moreover, they were all unfamiliar faces, clearly from outside.

This situation is relatively rare, but it has happened before.

That's how Luffy first met Shanks and his crew.

So Ace and Luffy weren't surprised and greeted Makino directly.

"It's Ace and Luffy. Please wait a moment."

Upon seeing the two, Makino was delighted and immediately took out a plate and began placing food on it.

This has clearly been done more than once or twice.

"No need, you should keep it to entertain your guests. We'll come back later."

Ace touched his empty stomach and said with difficulty.

As for Luffy, his mouth was wide open, and he was already drooling.

"Eat up, don't be so polite with me~"

The food had just been handed over when Ace and Luffy's stomachs began to rumble like thunder.

The two men blushed, thanked them, and then began to boast wildly.

It's obvious they were really starving.

As a result of eating too fast, Luffy almost choked to death on the bread. He stared wide-eyed and kept pounding his chest, his face immediately turning red.

"Luffy!"

Ace immediately shouted, attracting the attention of everyone in the room.

Makino was also startled and quickly went to pour water.

However, at that moment, a large wooden beer mug was handed to Luffy.

Luffy didn't care whether it was alcohol or water; he was almost choking, so he took it and immediately poured it into his mouth.

Then I heard a few gurgling sounds.

I downed a large glass of beer.

Hiccup~

Luffy, who had almost choked to death, immediately let out a satisfying burp.

It seems he's been secretly drinking quite a bit over the years.

"Thanks, uncle."

Luffy laughed heartily and handed the wine glass back to the other person.
