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

To his surprise, despite the dire situation, the World Government remained inactive, and the Knights of God were nowhere to be found.

Does this mean they're going to completely abandon the navy?

Or is there another solution to the immediate problem?

Dragon wasn't fully aware of the Celestial Dragons' trump cards, which is why he was puzzled and even somewhat uneasy.

But then again.

Now is the perfect opportunity to uncover the Celestial Dragons' true strengths.

It's a million times better to know now than to find out during the final battle.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you have a greater chance of completely overthrowing the Celestial Dragons' rule.

……

Malinvando.

Vice Admiral Tsuru's body was petrified by Hancock, and then Katakuri wrapped her in mochi, almost eliminating any possibility of escape.

When the crane in this state was brought before Abel, Abel couldn't help but laugh.

"After many years, Chief of Staff He is still as dashing as ever, especially his speech in front of the world, which was very moving."

Despite being at the mercy of others, the crane remained calm, as if it had already taken life and death in stride.

"Doflamingo is truly despicable. Turning himself into a monster wasn't enough; he also sacrificed himself, creating a super monster that makes the world tremble. If he hadn't died, would he regret it now?"

Upon hearing this, Abel immediately became displeased. "What do you mean, 'If Dover hadn't died, our 'young master' would still be alive and well?'"

"I specially transformed an island for him and built a huge manor. Every day, he has unlimited supply of fine wines and delicacies from all over the world, and more than a dozen beautiful maids to take care of his daily life. This kind of happy life makes Dover so happy that he doesn't want to leave!"

“I’m the kind of person who always repays kindness. If you keep talking nonsense, I’m going to sue you for defamation.”

Chapter 952 Three Conditions

Tsuru was amused, "So Doflamingo's life is so wonderful after he 'stepped down'."

"Of course, it's because we're kind-hearted."

"I remember Doflamingo's Devil Fruit ability has a move called 'Birdcage,' but I never thought that he would be the one trapped in this 'Birdcage' in the end. It's just fate."

The crane sighed again.

Abel said, "Being locked in a 'birdcage' is just losing your freedom. The world outside the 'birdcage' is too dangerous. There are hunters with guns everywhere. If you're not careful, you can lose your life. I was worried that Dover wouldn't be able to handle it, so I had to come in person."

"And judging from the current results, I'm doing quite well. The things Dover wanted to do, the dreams he wanted to fulfill, are all being realized by me."

"I have also brought the Donquixote Family to new heights. We are only one step away from trampling the Celestial Dragons under our feet and becoming the new kings of this world."

"Doflamingo might have to thank me then, since this is something he could never do in his entire life."

Hearing Abel's 'sophistry', Crane couldn't help but laugh, but he had to admit that what the other party said was true.

Because in the same amount of time, Doflamingo certainly couldn't reach the level Abel has today.

And then there are all the enemies Abel has defeated along the way, some of whom Doflamingo probably couldn't even defeat.

This is the absolute strength gap.

Crane couldn't help but sigh, "Now that Trafalgar Law is in your hands, we've lost this war, there's no need to continue fighting."

As he said these words, He closed his eyes weakly, looking as if he had aged ten years.

She felt sorry for Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, and the others who died on the battlefield.

But she couldn't just stand by and watch all the elite forces of the Marine Headquarters perish in the Battle of Marineford.

Looking at Abel's energetic appearance, he didn't seem like he was about to die.

If the fighting continues, even more people will die.

Not only the navy, but also the Dragon Hunter Guild.

Therefore, He felt that there was nothing wrong with his suggestion, and he even prepared a way out for the other party.

Abel also seriously considered the crane's suggestion.

Continuing to fight is not impossible, but the result will definitely be a Pyrrhic victory.

Because if they knew there was no way out, the remaining navy would definitely start fighting desperately.

In the end, the navy was rendered ineffective, and the Dragon Hunter Guild was severely weakened.

Instead, it benefited others for nothing.

And to be honest, although Abel always got very excited when fighting the navy, he understood better than anyone the importance of the navy to the world.

When he replaces the Celestial Dragons and becomes the sole ruler of this world, he will also vigorously develop the Navy.

Contradiction?

There's no contradiction at all; it's just a matter of different times.

They say your perspective is determined by your position.

Your perspective on things will change depending on your position.

Therefore, the navy should fight, but it cannot be completely defeated.

If he were to be killed, Abel himself would be the one who suffers the consequences.

We can cripple the navy for now, so that when they counterattack the Red Line, they won't become an obstacle to our progress.

"The war can be stopped, but I have a few conditions."

"If Vice Admiral Tsuru can agree on behalf of the entire navy, I will immediately leave Marineford with my men."

"Otherwise, let Marineford become a thing of the past."

Abel spoke calmly, but the murderous aura emanating from him sent chills down one's spine.

Upon seeing this, the crane's expression also turned serious.

"You said."

"First, I need you to admit in front of the whole world, during a live broadcast, that our Dragon Hunter Guild won the Marineford War, and your Navy lost."

"Secondly, I need you to apologize to all those who died in Flevans in front of the whole world, on live television, on behalf of the entire Navy, to give them the truth and clear their names."

"Third, I need a personal promise from you: when I lead my forces to attack the Red Line, if the World Government orders the Navy to send reinforcements, you must do everything in your power to stop it. If you cannot stop it, then do your best to delay it."

After hearing this, the crane fell silent.

The first two conditions can actually be considered as one.

Both of these actions would severely damage the Navy's reputation. The second one would even make the World Government, which had previously promoted lead poisoning as an infectious disease, a laughingstock and a target of public criticism.

But compared to the third condition, none of them matter.

Once Tsuru agrees, she will not only become a sinner against the Navy, but also a complete 'traitor'.

How should I choose?

They disregarded the lives of all the Marines at Marineford and fought to the death.

She still agreed to Abel's condition, bearing all the blame alone.

It seemed that they had sensed the inner struggle of the crane.

Abel then said in a low voice, "I will go to war with the Celestial Dragons sooner or later. If your Navy is destined to be my enemy, then now is the best time to completely annihilate you."

"I'm not one to show mercy. You only get one chance, so think it over carefully."

"Besides, considering how many times you led people to hunt me down back then, I'll tell you a secret."

"Actually... all my injuries have been healed. The little princess I took from Dressrosa is a Healing Fruit user. This appearance is just a disguise I made to tease you. The thought that each of you is secretly hoping that I'll die any second makes me feel particularly ridiculous and funny, hahahaha."

Abel's unrestrained laughter caused Crane to close his eyes in pain.

She never imagined that all her previous efforts and sacrifices would ultimately amount to nothing.

The Healing Fruit... No wonder it's like this!

It turns out that she, like everyone else, was a clown for people to amuse themselves, and she was completely unaware of it.

Last hope was dashed.

Even more terrifying is that if the negotiations break down and Abel is determined to capture Marineford and annihilate the entire naval elite, it will be a complete disaster.

With an uninjured Abel, who among the Four Emperors could stand against him here now?

No, let alone resist, even buying time would be difficult.

After all, the Dragon Hunter Guild doesn't just have one guild master, Abel; it also has vice guild masters like the world's strongest swordsman, 'Hawkeye' Mihawk, 'Thunder Emperor' Enel, and other executives.

Even if Kizaru and Fujitora can join forces to restrain Abel, what about the others?

It's like two cups of poison; you have to choose one.

The crane knew that it had no other choice.

Let him bear all the blame and responsibility himself.

"You win, I agree to your terms."

"But afterwards, everyone's safety must be guaranteed, and no one should be harmed or imprisoned."

Chapter 953 The Unexpected Guest

"can."

Abel thought about it and decided that it wasn't an unreasonable request.

It's normal for a crane to have such concerns.

After all, at this point, if he were to turn his back on everyone, no one could stop him.

"Untie the reins on our Chief of Staff, He."
