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

"Then hurry up and urge them!"

"Yes!"

But a short while later, the crew member who had gone to urge them returned with bad news.

"What? No more?"

"Yes...they said their wine cellar was raided yesterday by someone, and they didn't even leave them a barrel of wheat beer. Now it's too late to complete this deal with us."

"So you believe it?"

"I……"

"See this flag? In the North Sea, no one can withhold goods from the Don Quixote family. I don't care whether that guy is telling the truth or not, I want to see at least a hundred barrels of liquor here by noon. Understand?"

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

……

"Move it! Move all the drinks out of here!"

At the command of a short, stout man, a dozen fierce-looking pirates immediately rushed into the tavern.

"Gulaja! What are you trying to do? There are soldiers patrolling everywhere outside, do you want to die?!"

"Heh, you old drunkard, don't try to scare me. If I can't deliver the goods to the Don Quixote family today, I'm definitely going to die. Since I'm going to die anyway, why not drag a few more people down with me?!"

The old drunkard was both shocked and furious. Several of his men tried to resist but were immediately knocked to the ground.

He had heard about the theft from the other party's wine cellar before, and had even gloated over it, but he never expected that his joy would turn into sorrow.

That Gulagah doesn't have that many villains under his command; they must have been sent by the Don Quixote family.

Thinking of the two pirate groups that had been wiped out, the old drunkard immediately cowered and whispered, "What exactly do you want? Make yourself clear. I'll help if I can, but if you go too far, I'd rather smash all the bottles of liquor here and die with you, you bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Gulaja finally felt relieved, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you, brother. I'll just take half of the drinks you have here today... Wait, let me finish."

"I won't take your wine for free; I'll give you a 5% profit margin on top of the purchase price."

"Don't complain about the low price; the next place might not offer this price. You should think it over carefully."

Upon hearing that there was another customer, the old drunkard immediately realized what the other party meant.

"Really?"

"The truth will out. Don't you think there are too many taverns near the port these days?"

"Okay! Just for saying that, I'll help you out."

The two old foxes completed a tacitly agreed-upon deal in the blink of an eye.

As a result, all the other taverns suffered.

Those who fared better off were simply ripped off, while those who were oblivious to the situation suffered anything more than having all the drinks in the store emptied, or were beaten up and nearly killed.

What was originally a major crisis was turned into an opportunity by the fat man, Gula, who even used the Don Quixote family's banner to publicly eliminate his rivals.

Even the soldiers outside, upon hearing that it was the Don Quixote family conducting business, immediately pretended not to see anything and quickly led their men away.

Seeing this, Gulaja's fat face beamed with even more smugness.

What he didn't know was that right under his nose, two little devils had already quietly hidden inside one of the empty barrels.

These pirates didn't pay any attention to the weight difference when they were carrying the wine; as long as it wasn't empty, they just took it all!

It helped a lot without us even realizing it.

Even Abel himself probably didn't expect that his free shopping spree yesterday would trigger such a huge chain reaction.

Finally, before noon, more than two hundred barrels of liquor were loaded onto the ship.

Since Señor didn't know where the drinks came from, he readily paid Gulaga in full and then boarded the ship to leave.

Gulaja, who had unexpectedly benefited from the misfortune, suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum.

Chapter Seventeen: First Meeting with Doflamingo

Four days later, the smuggling ship, carrying two captured pirate ships, finally arrived at the port town of Spedamarus.

This is also one of the Don Quixote family's current strongholds in the North Sea.

"Great, I'm finally back."

"Luckily, Mr. Pique was there to oversee things on this trip, otherwise those bastards would have gotten away with it."

"Yes, it's really lucky to be able to work under Mr. Pick."

"By the way, Mr. Pick, what should we do with those two brats? Should we really take them to Captain Dover?"

As he disembarked, a crew member behind him asked Señor a strange question.

Then two little devils were thrown off the boat.

And it was none other than Abel and Lot, who had previously hidden in the barrel and managed to sneak onto the ship!

I don’t know if it was because my luck had run out by the time I managed to get on the ship, but on the third day, I was so hungry that I had eaten all the food and water I had brought with me.

So they decided to try their luck out of the barrel, since at that time they didn't know where the ship was headed or how many days it would take to sail.

In order not to become the first transmigrator to starve to death, Abel had no choice but to take a gamble.

The result was that the bet was lost.

As they sneaked into the kitchen and were feasting, they were caught red-handed by the crew who had gotten up to find a midnight snack.

Considering that he had come specifically to target the Don Quixote family, Abel offered almost no resistance and was easily captured along with Law.

Then he was brought before the cadre, Señor Pique.

Fortunately, it was Señor Pique who came along!

This tough guy is quite different from the Don Quixote family in his style of doing things.

While others were busy burning, killing, and looting, this guy was helping an old lady cross the street.

Not only are they loyal and righteous, but they also have a rare compassion for the weak.

This is simply outrageous!

Anyone who didn't know better would think this guy was a moral exemplar in the navy.

Abel simply couldn't understand how Doflamingo managed to recruit someone like Señor Piqué as a subordinate; they were completely different people!

So when faced with Señor's questioning, Abel skillfully used his current 'age advantage' to selectively recount his and Law's story, and strongly expressed their desire to join the Don Quixote family.

Two children who escaped from the white town, with only a few days left to live, want to join a clan and avenge the dead...

What a deeply moving story!

Whether others believe it or not is unknown, but Senor, who knows the inside story, believes it, because the lead poisoning in Abel and Lo cannot be faked.

If it were any other official, they might have dealt with those two brats directly for reasons such as avoiding trouble.

But Señor would never do that!

Therefore, his decision was to take the two children to see Lord Dover and let Lord Dover decide their final fate.

Firstly, he doesn't have the right to bring people into his family (excluding peripheral cannon fodder). Secondly, Doflamingo himself is in the process of recruiting and building up his forces. He even took in more than a hundred children recently, hoping to select promising talents from them and train them.

The appearance of Abel and Lot at this time can only be described as perfectly timed.

"Prepare all the spoils for this trip. I'll take them to see Captain Dover."

Señor lit a cigarette, thinking to himself that a real man always keeps his word!

When the crew behind him heard that Mr. Pick was actually going to do this, they were immediately helpless, knowing that Mr. Pick's old habit of sympathizing with the weak had come back.

But they couldn't say anything, because the reason they were still alive was all because of Mr. Pique's 'old problem'.

Otherwise, he would have been thrown into the ocean to feed the sea monsters long ago for his poor performance.

"Hey, you two, when you see Captain Dover, remember to be respectful and polite. If you cause Mr. Pick to get scolded, I'll be the first to throw you overboard!"

Abel and Lo remained unmoved by the crew's threats.

Abel saw another side to this incident, discovering that Señor was indeed genuinely respected and loved by his subordinates, which was undoubtedly related to his abundant personal charm.

Luo, on the other hand, was simply throwing caution to the wind!

All I could think was, "I'm not even afraid of death, so why would I be afraid of your threats, you little minions?"

……

In the center of the Spadamarus garbage disposal plant stands a complex of buildings with a pirate flag flying.

The pirate flag features a smiling face with its mouth wide open, revealing all its teeth, and a diagonal line dividing the smile.

This is the banner of the Don Quixote family, and few people in Beihai today do not recognize it.

Señor walked ahead carrying two large black leather suitcases, with Abel and Ro following behind.

There were malicious glances all around.

However, due to Señor's status as a cadre, no one dared to step forward and ask.

He didn't put down a box and knock on the door until he reached the second floor and stood in front of a room.

"Come in."

Señor then picked up the suitcase again and pushed open the door to enter.

"Captain, I'm back."

"It's Señor. Looks like the operation went smoothly; you're back so quickly. Huh? Why are there two little brats with you? Could they be your illegitimate children? Hee hee hee hee~"

"Don't worry about it, it was just a joke."

Through the sunlight streaming through the window, you can see a man sitting in the very center of the room.

The man had striking blond hair that stood up like flames. He wore trendy sunglasses, a well-tailored black suit, and an extravagantly colored and styled pink feather coat.

The person who spoke just now was him.
