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

"Okay, then don't regret it."

Abel gave Law a half-smile, then took out a Den Den Mushi and said, "Tell the dungeon that we don't need to bring the person over. We'll just kill him later."

Luo knew Abel too well; whenever Abel showed that expression, it was never a good sign.

He couldn't help but ask, "The gift you're giving me is a person? Who is it?"

"Oh, a not-so-important navy officer, I think his name is Rosinante."

Upon hearing this, Luo thought, "The navy... that's indeed not too heavy..."

Wait a minute!

Rosinandi?

Don Quixote Rosinante?

Corazon!!!

Luo was stunned, his expression a mixture of confusion and excitement.

Because Abel had Sugar turn Corazon back a few days ago, all his memories of Corazon resurfaced.

"Corazon? Wasn't Corazon already dead? Killed by Doflamingo himself..."

Luo, extremely agitated, sought confirmation from Abel, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

He was both afraid that Abel was deliberately teasing him, and also wanted to hear the truth.

"Yes, but I brought him back to life later."

"He's alive? Really?"

"Do I need to lie to you?"

"Then how come he's in the dungeon? Has Doflamingo been keeping Mr. Corazon locked up in the dungeon all these years?"

Luo was still somewhat angry when he said this.

Abel smacked his lips twice. "No, that's not it. This guy was taken away by the Navy back then. When we met again, he was ordered to attack me, and I captured him, so I locked him up."

"..."

"But it doesn't matter anymore. You don't need it anyway. Just shoot him later to save my food from being wasted."

Luo then remembered what he had missed and what he had refused, and his expression became quite interesting.

Shock, frustration, anxiety...

"No! I need to see Mr. Cora right now. No, you need to contact your men immediately and tell them to stop!"

"Heh, so you're getting anxious now?"

"I was wrong, please."

"That's more like it. Wait a minute."

Abel felt relieved; he had finally gotten his revenge for being disturbed earlier.

After all, despite him having consistently outclassed Law in every aspect since childhood, Law has never been willing to back down, let alone admit his mistakes.

“Violet, take him to see Corazon.”

Guided by Violet, Law finally found Corazon, who had 'come back to life,' in a certain room!

"Mr. Cora?!"

"Luo?!"

Both of them were very surprised when they met.

It's clear that Abel was deliberately teasing him when he took out the Den Den Mushi earlier.

Even Corazon never imagined that he would be alive to see Luo one day.

He thought he was going to live his whole life as a toy.

After an emotional embrace, the two began to talk about their experiences over the years.

"Luo, there's something I've been lying to you about all along: I'm a navy officer..."

"Tch, I knew this would happen a long time ago."

"Huh? Is that so? So I failed miserably as an undercover agent, huh? Hahahaha."

"Actually, it's not so bad. At least the unreliable and eccentric image is disguised quite successfully."

"Of course, your observation skills are still so sharp. You even noticed this. Not bad."

Click! Light a cigarette.

He showed a sigh, but his eyes still held admiration.

"The clothes, the clothes, they're on fire again!"

"Ahhh, it's so hot..."

"I take back what I just said! Your eccentricity and unreliability are not an act at all!"

"Ahem, okay, I admit it. I've always been a bit absent-minded, and I sometimes even trip over myself while walking."

"Why didn't you just admit you were an idiot?"

Luo couldn't help but mutter to himself, but he still felt a long-lost warmth.

It was as if everything had returned to the time when Corazon carried him around seeking medical treatment.

No one knew that it was the happiest time of his life after leaving the white town.

It was Corazon's actions that warmed and melted his frozen and twisted heart.

Chapter 962 It's all Doflamingo's fault

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it seemed they had endless things to talk about.

Abel didn't bother them, but simply sent food and wine.

The next day, Luo found Abel again, looking hesitant and stammering.

"Can I take Mr. Cora with me?"

Abel, who was handling official business, looked up and glanced at the guy. "I already said, it's a gift for you. You can take it if you want. As for whether you take him with you to become pirates or send him back to the Navy, it's up to you."

Hearing Abel say this, Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Abel had just recently fought his way to Marineford and engaged in battle with the navy.

Corazon was a naval officer.

He was caught in the middle and it was really difficult for him.

However, after meeting Corazon, he finally understood Abel's intentions.

This is because they truly care about him; otherwise, Corazon would have died long ago.

"Thanks, I'll take Corazon away and promise he'll never be your enemy again for the rest of his life."

"No need for thanks, but let me make this clear from the start: there won't be a next time. He can continue to be a navy officer, or even come looking for revenge, but he'll have to bear the consequences."

Abel understood what Law meant: Corazon probably wouldn't join Law as a pirate, but would return to the Navy.

Otherwise, there would be no need to guarantee those things for Corazon.

Luo's expression also turned serious. "I understand. I won't make things difficult for you."

"Hopefully."

Given Corazon's relationship with Sengoku, it's hard to say that Corazon wouldn't want to avenge Sengoku after returning to the Navy.

So Abel considered it for a long time before having Sugar remove Corazon's Devil Fruit powers a few days ago.

He could easily make Corazon disappear forever, without even any related memories.

But Corazon might be the softest spot in Luo's heart.

Since he's already the mortal enemy of the entire navy, one more Corazon won't matter.

After saying goodbye, this time Luo was truly gone.

He left with his crew and Corazon, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Abel gazed wistfully at the sea as he watched Lo depart.

Before he knew it, a pair of gentle hands landed on his shoulders from behind, kneading them softly.

Abel glanced back and saw that it wasn't Robin, but Violet.

He suddenly remembered that perhaps it was time to return Dressrosa to King Riku.

After all, he could even let Corazon go, so why would he continue to control Dressrosa using the same methods Doflamingo used back then?

Given his current prestige and status, this is completely unnecessary.

Moreover, Violet, who was always by his side, had been diligently taking care of his daily life; she deserved credit for her hard work, even if she didn't achieve anything remarkable.

Thinking of this, he said, "Find some time to go back to Dressrosa. From now on, that place belongs to you."

Violet paused for a moment, then tears streamed down her face.

"Why are you crying? Isn't this something to be happy about?"

Abel turned around and reached out to wipe away Violet's tears.

"Yes, I was just so happy, and it all happened so suddenly, that I cried tears of joy."

Abel chuckled and was about to speak when his mouth was silenced by a pair of hot red lips.

"Sometimes, I'm really jealous of Robin."

"Not anymore."

Abel picked Violet up and strode into the room.

Outside the door, Kalifa, who was about to enter, immediately stopped knocking and gritted her teeth after hearing the voices inside.
