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

They sent people from various outposts to the New World in batches, preparing for a large-scale 'talent show'!

The Dragon Hunter Guild is currently severely weakened and lacks sufficient personnel.

This is a good opportunity to absorb more fresh blood.

Don't forget, the Celestial Dragons are Abel's greatest enemies.

He will eventually conquer the Red Earth, so he can't do without people.

As a result, those who wanted to stand out from the crowd, or those who considered themselves extraordinary and thought they had some skills, all found out the news and headed to Beehive Island, the former pirate paradise.

During the break, Abel and Robin worked together to develop the rules and prizes for the 'talent show' competition.

They also visited several islands along the way.

He was even considering whether to broadcast this 'talent show' competition live worldwide, making it more high-profile.

After thinking about it, I decided against it; there was no need for it.

He's already been high-profile enough, and his reputation is practically maxed out.

Going to such lengths would only breed more jealousy and expose the strength of the newly recruited members of the Dragon Hunter Guild to the enemy.

Not worth it!

Chapter 959 Divination and Prophecy

Amidst the discussions of countless people around the world, the year 1513 of the Haiyuan calendar thus became a thing of the past.

A new year also began on the high seas, namely the year 1514 of the Maritime Calendar.

According to the rules of the World Conference, which is held every four years, this year happens to be the year the World Conference is to be held.

Soon, the kings of 50 member states of the World Government will travel to Mary Geoise to attend the World Conference.

In previous years, the topics discussed have mostly been about security and order worldwide.

This is something that every king is most concerned about.

If the world becomes unstable and descends into turmoil, it will also affect their rule.

But clearly, this year's issue will almost certainly be related to one person, or rather, the force that person leads!

Abel, one of the Four Emperors!

Dragon Hunter Guild!

This is a name that cannot be ignored at this year's world conference.

It was also the most lawless name last year, drawing worldwide attention.

It also reminded some older people of a name that had disappeared from history.

That was the man who almost ruled the entire ocean more than thirty years ago, and whose ambition was to become the king of the world—Lox D. Giebeck!

Many of the names that are now familiar to everyone, such as 'Golden Lion' Shiki, 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, and so on, were once members of the Rocks Pirates.

Whether viewed back then or now, it was incredibly awesome!

Most importantly, Rocks D. Xebec was not content with conquering the Grand Line and becoming some kind of Pirate King.

He also wanted to become the king of the world!

Therefore, it has become a thorn in the side of world governments.

Finally, in the battle at God Valley, he led the Rocks Pirates in an attempt to attack the Celestial Dragons and reclaim the Devil Fruits that had been stolen by them.

As a result, they were defeated by Garp and Roger working together.

The Rocks Pirates subsequently fell apart.

Afterwards, due to the extremely negative impact of what Rocks did, and the fact that the Celestial Dragons do not allow anyone to challenge their authority, the consequences were severe.

Therefore, it was erased from history by the world government.

Now, more than 30 years have passed, and apart from a small number of old people who experienced the era when the Rocks Pirates dominated the seas, almost no one knows this name anymore.

But it must be said that history is a cycle.

What Rocks couldn't do, Abel is now accomplishing one by one.

Moreover, he was even more ferocious and powerful than the original Rocks, and no one could stop him!

The enraged World Government could not hide its fear and unease, so convening a World Conference to discuss how to eliminate destabilizing factors affecting world peace, such as the Four Emperors Abel and the Dragon Hunter Guild, became the top priority.

In a short time, many kings met with officials specially sent by the World Government to extend their invitations.

This also includes Neptune, the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom on Fishman Island.

Fishman Island is not what it used to be.

Thanks to Abel's intervention, Queen Otohime was not murdered by Hody Jones, which was a very important turning point.

Queen Otohime saved the Celestial Dragon Donquixote Musgard Saint, and the two then worked together to promote peaceful coexistence between the Fish-Men and Humans.

With the help of Donquixote Musgard, a Celestial Dragon 'traitor', and with Queen Otohime's relentless efforts,

It has been confirmed that some of the fish-people have moved to land and started a new life.

Of course, that was just a pilot program.

They were also protected by the navy to ensure they wouldn't be used as ATMs by slave traders.

Although it's obvious to anyone with eyes to see, it's still a very difficult thing for fish-men to integrate into human society.

But Queen Otohime was so moved that she cried.

This small step is a giant leap for the entire murloc race, and it also represents a breakthrough from 0 to 1.

It is precisely because of this recognition.

That's why the World Government specifically invited King Neptune and Queen Otohime to attend the World Conference.

On the one hand, it was to give face to the Celestial Dragon Donquixote Musgard Saint.

On the other hand, there was also the idea of ​​binding Fishman Island to the war machine and fighting against the Four Emperors, Abel.

After all, the fish-men are naturally physically strong, and with a little training, they can become warriors who are no less capable than the elite human navy.

Moreover, there are high-level combatants like Jinbe who can be recruited.

Although Jinbe was previously stripped of his title as a Shichibukai for refusing to cooperate.

However, Jinbe did not participate in any of the battles between the Navy and the Dragon Hunter Guild. What does this mean?

This shows that Jinbe is actually a 'good comrade' who knows what to do when faced with matters of principle.

By convening this world conference and putting more pressure on King Neptune, I believe this 'Sea Knight' will know what choice to make.

Could a little bit of kindness be more important than the future of the entire merfolk race?

If they don't agree, then we'll have to settle accounts with all the good deeds Fisher Tiger has done.

Fisher Tiger has escaped from Impel Down and disappeared without a trace. It must be that you Fishman Island hid him!

No?

It doesn't matter if you don't admit it; I'll just send people to search the island and I'll find out.

Not allowed?

That means they have a guilty conscience!

In short, the world government has a hundred ways to force these lowly fish-men to submit.

Even if the Celestial Dragon Donquixote Musgard Saint wanted to plead for him, it would be in vain, because Abel's existence had already threatened the Celestial Dragons' rule.

Compared to the interests of all the Celestial Dragons, the voice of an individual is utterly insignificant.

King Neptune may not have thought that far ahead, but he sensed that his trip to Mary Geoise for the World Conference would likely cause quite a stir.

"Otohime, you don't need to come with me to this World Conference. Stay in Ryugu Castle and take good care of Shirahoshi."

Otohime shook her head: "There's no use in running away. No matter what happens, we'll face it together."

"Sigh, maybe I'm just overthinking it. My gut feeling tells me that something bad might happen if I go to Mary Geoise for the World Conference."

Otohime suddenly suggested, "Perhaps we can go to Shirley for a divination."

Shirley is a great blue shark mermaid and the half-sister of the evil dragon.

She is also a fortune teller, and her predictions are 100% accurate!

At the age of 3, he prophesied that the sea kings were waiting for the birth of the mermaid princess.

At the age of 4, he predicted the coming of the Great Pirate Era.

He subsequently made several accurate predictions of major events.

Despite being only 21 years old, she was respectfully called "Mrs. Shirley" by the island's residents.

I recently opened a mermaid café in Coral Hill and am now the manager.

King Neptune had naturally heard of Lady Shirley's fame, but had never tried to seduce her.

But this time, when Otohime brought it up, it really touched his heart.

Since you can't see the future clearly, why not seek help from a prophecy?

Chapter 960 The Seven Deadly Sins (Pirate Version)!

To show their sincerity, King Neptune and Queen Otohime did not send anyone to invite Shirley to the Dragon Palace, but instead went to Shirley's coffee shop together.

After explaining their purpose, Shirley readily agreed to perform the divination for them to determine the auspiciousness of attending the World Conference.

When the results came out quickly, Shirley's expression became very serious.

King Neptune and Queen Otohime did not stay long before thanking them and departing.

Apart from the three of them, no one knew the outcome of this divination, whether it would be auspicious or inauspicious.
