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

If people found out they had escaped from the white town of Flevans, they would have no chance of survival.

So it would actually be a good thing if some power were willing to protect them.

Although Abel possesses a cheat ability, he undoubtedly needs a large amount of resources to truly utilize it.

He was lucky this time. Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the two groups of pirates, he made a huge purchase for free, and finally got a four-star review.

But what about next time?

Who can guarantee that such luck and coincidence will happen every time?

Therefore, he also needs a powerful backer who can protect him and help him accumulate resources and strength in the early stages.

To be honest, when it came to 'backers' who met these criteria, Abel's first thought was actually the navy.

It's the safest option, offers great career advancement opportunities, and boasts abundant resources.

If the destruction of the entire Flevans wasn't inextricably linked to the World Government, he might have already been trying to get Law to join the Marines.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs," and what has already happened cannot be changed.

After experiencing all this, not only did Law begin to hate the Navy, but even Abel had no good feelings towards the word "Navy" and questioned what kind of justice these people were talking about!

If you don't join the navy, there aren't many options left, especially in the North Sea.

Abel was almost the first to rule out Germa 66.

The reason is neither because it's hard to find, nor because of Luo's preconceived notions.

To be fair, Germa 66 is quite powerful, having once been the overlord of the North Sea, and possesses many impressive high-tech gadgets!

The problem is that Vinsmoke Judge, who dominates Germa 66, is mentally unstable and is also a complete lone wolf.

Vanity, arrogance, cold-bloodedness, hypocrisy, and selfishness are all labels attached to this guy.

More importantly, the Vinsmoke family would never accept outsiders into their inner circle unless it was through marriage.

So even if they find the elusive Germa 66, they'll probably be turned into cannon fodder soldiers and won't be taken seriously.

In contrast, the Donquixote Family developed very rapidly until the protagonist's group attacked their home.

During this time, Abel felt that he could not only grow up safely under Doflamingo's protection, but also climb the ranks, strive to become an executive, and use the Donquixote Family's resources to complete the system's [wish orders] and strengthen himself.

If everything goes smoothly, it's not entirely impossible for him to even directly replace Doflamingo.

Thinking of this, Abel's deeply hidden ambition suddenly became extremely restless.

In comparison, contacting the Don Quixote family is indeed the most suitable option for his current situation.

Seeing that Abel remained silent for a long time, his expression changing back and forth, Luo thought he was in a difficult position, so he said, "This is the path I chose myself, you don't have to come with me."

"Ha, come on. Without me, you'd be dead by now. Before you pay back the two lives you owe me, even if you want to commit suicide, you'll have to ask me for permission first."

"Uh, you mean..."

"Hopefully, the Don Quixote family won't have too high a threshold for hiring. It would be even better if they could provide food and lodging."

When Rodton finally understood Abel's answer, he was somewhat moved. He had thought that Abel's decision was entirely because of him.

Little did he know that in the midst of his thoughts, Abel had already prepared to part ways with him.

“Abel, you…”

"Alright, go to sleep. We still need to figure out how to get on the ship tomorrow! We can't stay here any longer."

Abel said irritably, not wanting Luo to misunderstand, nor wanting to hear any mushy thanks.

Because his answer just now was indeed the result of careful consideration.

I don't know how much time had passed, but the night was already deep.

Abel suddenly opened his eyes and took out a deck of cards from his clothes.

He specifically went looking for it on his way back.

Fortunately, many taverns have a tradition of playing cards, so they are not hard to find.

He casually pulled out the Ace of Hearts, placed it in front of him, and then used his only skill without hesitation.

Magic Card Modification!

Immediately, a continuous stream of spiritual energy was poured into this card.

A few seconds later, with a flash of soft white light, the original playing cards completely changed their appearance.

First, the red heart pattern on the front completely disappeared, turning into a blank card.

Secondly, the original pattern on the back has been completely transformed into a silhouette.

Abel couldn't help but feel that the silhouette was of himself...

Okay, that doesn't matter at all.

The important thing is that after the skill was used, the card got a new name.

[Spell Card: Blank]

Disposable items

Description: A specially modified card containing the power of sealing.

Effect: When using an active skill, the effect of that skill can be sealed into a magic card. (Currently, the skill level that can be sealed is LV1)

Note: Skills exceeding the card's level and certain special skills cannot be sealed.

……

As he played with the brand-new card, Abel suddenly revealed a thoughtful expression.

"This thing looks a lot like those magic scrolls in Western fantasy novels, where you can tear it open and launch fireballs or something... something like that."

Abel felt that his comprehension skills were not bad, and that this should be a similar situation.

Once he learns other skills in the future, he can easily create magic cards and give them to others to use.

Even... used to fulfill prayer orders!

Abel's eyes suddenly lit up. For example, if someone is in danger and can't defeat the enemy, and a wish order is generated at this time, he can trade a magic card sealed with 'XX skill' to help the other party overcome the difficulty.

In this way, the cost is almost zero, and the rewards are plentiful!

But there's a prerequisite: he must first master some very useful and impressive skills.

Abel glanced at his pitiful skill bar, stuffed the cards into his pocket, and thought, "Damn it, time to sleep!"

Dreams have everything!

That night, Abel dreamed that he had learned 99 god-level skills, and then punched Kaido, kicked Big Mom, and a god descended to earth to crush that piece of trash Im to the ground.

After he wiped out all the Celestial Dragons, Robin, Nami, Hancock, and a host of other beauties came to him begging to have his babies.

Faced with such a request, he naturally agreed without hesitation!

then……

Then Luo shook him awake.

There's no way around it, if I keep dreaming like this, then the censors will have to step in and unleash their fury!

Chapter Sixteen: The Aftermath of Zero-Yuan Purchase

After two days of rest, Luo's injuries, though not fully healed, no longer prevented him from walking.

The only conspicuous hat, at Abel's insistence, was wrapped in cloth and stuffed into his clothes.

And it wasn't just the hat; Abel even used bandages he'd taken from other places to wrap the guy's face up, leaving only his eyes showing.

Then they covered him with a black cloth as a cloak.

There was no other way; this outfit was a bit odd, but it was better than having the white patches on my face discovered.

Upon entering the city, Abel noticed a significant increase in the number of soldiers patrolling.

The atmosphere is probably tense because of yesterday's port brawl.

But this is for the best. Now that such a big incident has attracted everyone's attention, probably not many people will still care about the homeless people who died before...

Inside the clothing store, Señor is trying on a new suit.

The female shop manager and the wealthy woman who had come with her husband to buy clothes both looked infatuated, seemingly attracted by Señor's masculine charm.

"Wrap all of these up."

"Guest, may I know your name?"

"I'm sorry, I'm destined to be a passerby in your life, so... forget me."

Señor, whose face was still swollen, placed the money on the table, lit a cigarette, and left amidst the adoring gazes of all the women.

She's just... just so incredibly charming!

The female shop manager's face turned red, and she fainted on the spot.

He hadn't gone far when Señor suddenly stopped, because he suddenly realized that he had been so focused on how to politely reject the woman that he had forgotten to take his new suit.

"Sigh. Never mind, I'd better go back as soon as possible."

Señor wanted to get the clothes, but he didn't want the women to fall in love with him again, so he gave up on the idea.

Meanwhile, the area near the port was bustling with activity.

Many workers are rushing to repair and rebuild the buildings that were destroyed yesterday. After all, every extra day of delay means a huge financial loss, something no business can tolerate.

Secondly, the remaining weapons on the Don Quixote family's smuggling ship had all been used in yesterday's battle, leaving no goods for trade, so Señor had no choice but to return home.

Therefore, due to the Don Quixote family's infamy, all the supplies that had not yet been fully procured were transported over as quickly as possible and ended up piling up at the port.

As a result, other ships that wanted to leave first could only wait silently.

Such a mixed group of people undoubtedly provided Abel and Lot with great convenience for their subsequent plans.

"Are all the supplies ready?"

"Most of the handover has been completed, but there has been no news about the originally ordered drinks."
