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

"Robin is one thing, but why can even a maid get ahead of me and beat me to it?"

"What went wrong?"

Kalifa took a deep breath and turned to leave.

She has begun to lack confidence in her own charm.

Even after Lucci and the others died, he once wanted to quit the mission, leave the Dragon Hunter Guild, and return to CP9.

But his superior, Spandam, refused.

As Kalifa is the last remaining member of the Dragon Hunters Guild, giving up would mean the complete failure of the mission.

As the commander, Spandam must bear the full burden.

He will definitely lose the position he worked so hard to get, and he might even be relegated to an unimportant department, with no chance of ever getting back on his feet.

Just thinking about it made Spandam tremble.

Now that his doting father is gone, he has to rely on himself for everything.

So even though the Four Elders had given up all hope for Kalifa, he still had to take a gamble.

Kalifa was his last bargaining chip!

His order to Kalifa was to become Abel's bedmate at all costs.

Since a personal secretary cannot gain the other party's trust, then become the other party's woman.

The word color means a knife on the head.

Throughout history, countless heroes have fallen prey to beauty, leading to their downfall.

If Kalifa can do the same, then Spandam will not only be able to turn the tide, but also rise to the top in one fell swoop!

a few days later.

Accompanied by Abel, Violet returned to Dressrosa and declared herself the new queen.

Then Sugar dismantled most of the toys made from the people of Dressrosa.

Immediately afterwards, Violet, as the new queen, announced something, revealing the truth of what happened and pinning all the blame on Doflamingo.

This was also Doflamingo's own doing.

Abel certainly wouldn't take the blame for Doflamingo.

Anyway, Doflamingo is already retired on the island, so his reputation doesn't matter at all. It's no problem to make use of him a little more.

In the end, Violet attributed all the credit for liberating the entire nation to Abel.

It is said that Abel was also unaware of the truth at first, and only recently discovered the truth, so he brought her back to liberate Dressrosa.

Regardless of whether Violet's account is true or not, the fact remains that the people of Dressrosa have transformed from toys back into human beings.

Without Abel, they could only wait for the future protagonist Luffy to come and save them.

So it's perfectly reasonable to be grateful to Abel.

In an instant, the entire Dressrosa was scorning Doflamingo and cheering for Abel.

Under these circumstances, Violet also met her father, King Riku, who was hiding, as well as her sister Scarlet, her brother-in-law Cyrus, and her niece Rebecca.

The family was reunited once again.

When Violet was asked many questions, she tried her best to glorify Abel and remove him from the whole affair.

This indicates that Abel was forced into this situation back then, as a member of the Donquixote Family, he had no choice but to carry out the orders given by Doflamingo.

King Riku seemed to have figured something out as well, and didn't ask any further questions.

At least the current outcome is a happy one for everyone.

When asked about her future plans, Violet firmly stated that she would continue to stay by Abel's side.

As for the throne, she will return it to her father.

Chapter 963 A Business Genius!

Having resolved the Dressrosa matter, the mission can be considered accomplished.

That night, Abel once again experienced Violet's fiery passion, as intense as a burning rose.

After confirming that Violet would leave with him, the throne was returned to King Riku.

But one thing will never change: the flag of the Dragon Hunter Guild will always fly over this land.

Unless Abel is gone one day, or the Dragon Hunter Guild falls apart.

During the days that Abel was away from Beehive Island, posters for the Dragon Hunting Tournament, organized by the Dragon Hunting Guild, were distributed to people all over the world through Morgans' newspapers.

Right now, Abel and the Dragon Hunter Guild are at the height of their reputation, and any topic related to them is extremely popular, let alone such a novel open recruitment model!

Especially when they saw the final reward that the Four Emperors Abel had prepared for this tournament, almost everyone was excited!

The world was once again in shock.

Seven priceless and rare Devil Fruits, enough to make countless powerful figures on the high seas fight tooth and nail, are being given away for free?!

Of course, saying it's given away for free isn't entirely accurate.

After all, only by joining the Dragon Hunter Guild and swearing allegiance to the Four Emperors, Abel, can one obtain it.

And you have to stand out from countless competitors!

There is no such thing as a free lunch on the high seas.

The Dragon Hunter Guild also took this opportunity to recruit more members to replenish the manpower lost in the Marineford War.

This is something that almost anyone can see.

But I was still shocked by the sheer scale of Abel's (one of the Four Emperors) actions!

Looking across the entire world, almost no one except the Celestial Dragons can replicate it.

This is simply a grand spectacle and a great carnival at the beginning of the new year!

Countless people already wanted to join the Dragon Hunting Guild, and now that the poster for the Dragon Hunting Tournament has been released, it has attracted even more people who want to sign up.

The poster clearly states that the registration period is only one and a half months.

And one must personally arrive at Punk Hazard in the New World.

Registration will be considered unsuccessful if the deadline is missed.

The poster also noted that there was no registration fee, but once someone chose to participate, the organizer, Dragon Hunter Guild, would not guarantee anyone's safety.

In other words, you should think it through, otherwise you'll have no choice but to accept the consequences if you lose your life.

But this did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of those men at sea.

Since they chose to go to sea, they are inherently adventurous and determined to forge a bright future. Who would back down because of a few warnings on the poster?

When you truly regret something, it's only after you've experienced it.

But by then it would probably be too late to regret it.

From the four seas in all directions to the first half of the Grand Line, those who want to participate are trying every possible way to reach the New World within the allotted time.

A month and a half is neither a long nor a short time.

Especially for those guys who live far from the New World, by the time they arrive, the Dragon Hunting Tournament will probably be over.

At that very moment, a number of ocean-going fleets appeared almost simultaneously around the world.

The destination is Punk Hazard in the new world!

A ticket costs 10 Berries per person!

The ship will depart once it is fully loaded, and we guarantee that it will arrive at its destination within the specified time.

After all, the longer it goes on, the less time there is left, and this business won't last long.

The person who dared to do this was none other than one of the kings of the underworld, the 'Shipping King' Umit!

Umit's shipping business covers almost the entire world, with influence and manpower in various sea areas.

That's why Abel had 'King of Loans' Dufeld contact the other party to do this big business together.

Abel could have made it himself, but it would have been too unseemly, so there was no need for it.

They decided to share some of the profits and bring in the 'Shipping King' Umitra.

With Umit's fleet spread across the world and its incredibly experienced sailors, they're sure to make a killing this time.

Umit, wanting to pursue this business, naturally needed the support of the Dragon Hunter Guild.

The two sides hit it off immediately.

Umit's cargo ships are all quite large; each ship can easily carry a thousand people.

A ticket costs 100,000 Berries per person, so a ticket for a thousand people would cost 100 million Berries!

And there are almost no costs involved. As long as you get people there, you only need to provide them with food and drink along the way to ensure they don't starve.

One ship earns 100 million Berries, ten ships earn 1 billion Berries, and one hundred ships earn 10 billion Berries!

Even if Umit only takes 30%, that's still 3 billion Berries in revenue!

Most importantly, it carries almost no risk and takes very little time.

With his own name and the ability to invoke the name of the Dragon Hunter Guild at crucial moments, Umit can now practically roam freely on the high seas!

Whether it's pirates or the navy, how many fearless individuals would dare to provoke us?

The only things to worry about are the unpredictable extreme weather on the Grand Line and the ever-present threat of Sea King attacks.

However, there's no need to worry too much about this, because Umit, the 'King of Shipping,' made his fortune in this field. He and his men are experienced experts in this area; otherwise, they would have gone bankrupt long ago.

If he didn't even have this advantage, Abel wouldn't have shared his spoils.

Earning 3 billion Berries in a month and a half, what more could you ask for?!

After doing the math, Umit realized for the first time how easy it was to make money.
