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

Doflamingo would naturally not reprimand Diamante for such a thing, because in his heart, the two were not even on the same level.

Even if Diamanti really kills both of those brats today, well... they're dead, so be it.

Dead people have no value and won't even get a second glance.

However, the surprises Abel brought him seemed to be far from over.

Baby-5 and Buffalo had only run a few steps when they saw that the guy who had been kicked away earlier had actually gotten up on his own, which was simply unbelievable!

"So...so scary!"

"It's come back to life! It's a ghost!"

Abel, who had stood up again, ignored Baby-5 and Buffalo, who were standing there making a fuss, and instead stared intently at Diamanti, who was looking on with astonishment, with his left eye.

That kick earlier had truly made him feel the breath of death.

Fortunately, the system shop refreshed the day before, and he bought something that could save his life.

Product: [Defense Bracelet] (Blue)

Equipment items

Description: A high-tech product, the principle of which is unknown.

Effect: When actively activated, it forms a transparent protective film in front of the user. Protection value: 500

Price: 200 trading points

Quantity: 1

PS: Although it has many drawbacks, it can be used to save your life in critical moments.

……

Although this [defense bracelet] requires active activation and can only defend in one direction, it seems to have quite a few drawbacks.

But Abel bought it immediately.

And just now, this thing saved his life!

The price was that the 500 protection points were instantly destroyed by a single kick, and the [Defense Bracelet], which had only been acquired for a day, was rendered useless in the blink of an eye.

Then the arms that were crossed in front of him to defend himself were broken and hung down at his sides.

After being kicked away, his head hit something, resulting in a large gash on his forehead. Blood was gushing down his right cheek, making it impossible for him to open his eyes.

This appearance is extremely frightening, and looks exceptionally grotesque!

Upon seeing this, Doflamingo's eyes revealed a hint of admiration.

In the process of fighting the enemy, strength is certainly important, but the willpower to get up again no matter how many times you are knocked down is even more important.

People with this kind of willpower, as long as they don't die prematurely, will eventually grow up and become capable of standing on their own!

only……

"Lead disease, this is a bit tricky. Oh well, let's see how lucky they are."

Diamanti had already decided to let it go, but Abel's look really annoyed him.

But just as he was about to teach that brat another lesson, Luo, who had been mocked by everyone earlier, suddenly appeared in front of him.

And that expression seemed to have said everything.

If you want to get through, kill me first!

Diamanti's eyes narrowed instantly, then he raised his longsword without hesitation, and then brought it down...

Pfft!

That was the sound of Abel collapsing unconscious, unable to hold on any longer.

At the same time, Diamanti's sword also knocked off Luo's hat.

Just one inch further, and it wouldn't have been the hat that was torn open, but rather Luo's skull.

But this guy wouldn't budge an inch, and there wasn't a trace of fear in his eyes.

"Boring, but since Dover has agreed to let you join, so be it. Hopefully you can hold out for a while, hahahahaha."

Diamanti left, and Luo picked up his hat again, put it on, and immediately ran to Abel.

After confirming that Abel was only seriously injured but not in immediate danger, he picked him up and followed Baby-5 and Buffalo to the treatment room.

However, the doctors here were really incompetent. Not only were their skills poor, but they were also terrified when they saw the white patches on Abel's body.

They refused to let Abel stay there any longer and wanted to drive him away.

Even if Doflamingo asks about it later, he can say that he was too badly injured to be saved.

But what he didn't expect was that Luo not only knew medicine, but was also a genius in this field!

So Luo simply treated Abel himself and kicked the incompetent doctor out.

They've never been treated like this before!

As soon as he got excited, he took the initiative to accuse the villain first.

Little did they know that Doflamingo already knew what had happened.

They simply had the doctor arrested.

If the person ultimately dies despite the treatment, then perhaps this guy might still have a chance to survive.

But if Luo heals Abel...

Guess what would happen to a useless person here?

The doctor was so frightened that he turned pale on the spot. It was the first time in his life he had felt such regret, but it was too late no matter how much he regretted it.

Chapter Twenty-One: Blood Family Rules

When Abel awoke again, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Since coming into this world, he has lost count of how many times he has been injured and fallen into a coma.

Fortunately, he persevered each time.

And with each brush with death, his desire to become stronger and to possess everything grew ever stronger!

Abel, whose head was wrapped in bandages, struggled to sit up.

His arms were broken by Diamanti's kick, so they were now tightly bound in splints and seemed to have been reattached.

He wasn't worried about any aftereffects, after all, the legendary Usopp had his skull shattered countless times, and in the end, he was still alive and kicking as the Sniper King!

Of course, this is just a joke.

"Ah, the one who angered Lord Diamanti has woken up! Quickly, inform the young master!"

Upon seeing that Abel had woken up, a cute little girl who was easily startled ran out of the room, not giving Abel a chance to speak at all.

This also gave Abel a headache, because he was still unclear about the situation.

But it seems they managed to stay.

A moment later, footsteps sounded, and Doflamingo, still wearing his signature pink feather coat, strode in with the steps of a flamingo, giving off an extremely arrogant feeling at first glance.

"Fufufufufu~ You're finally awake."

"..."

Abel remained silent, mainly because he didn't know what to say or how to address the other person, so he simply pretended to be taciturn.

And to be honest, without 'Reckless Law' to shield him, he was under a lot of pressure facing Doflamingo one-on-one.

After all, he joined this place with the intention of replacing him from the very beginning.

Undeterred by Abel's silence, Doflamingo straddled the windowsill and said, "Abel, Gustavus Abel... I've already heard your story from Law."

"Although you both only have a few years left to live due to lead poisoning, I, the great Don Quixote Doflamingo, am still willing to give you a chance."

"Because this world is never short of miracles, and there are no incurable diseases."

"Have you heard of Devil Fruits? They're the epitome of miracles, capable of making the weak strong and turning people into overnight millionaires. Of course, there are also Devil Fruits that can cure diseases and save lives."

"Our Donquixote family mainly deals in the underground black market, and we sell many Devil Fruits. Perhaps one of them can cure your illness."

Even though everyone knows that Doflamingo is just making empty promises, there's no denying that his words are incredibly tempting.

It's likely that Luo was initially misled in this way in the original story.

Moreover, this cannot be considered deception at all, because everything Doflamingo said is true, and such Devil Fruits do indeed exist.

It's just impossible to determine whether this guy already possessed the power of the Op-Op Fruit.

Unfortunately, Abel didn't care about what Doflamingo said at all. What he wanted was completely different from what Law wanted from the very beginning!

"So what do I need to give in return?"

Despite his inner calm, Abel deliberately revealed a hint of longing and doubt in his eyes.

Doflamingo burst into laughter: "Fufufufu~ We don't need anything, because from now on, you're family. Family members naturally help each other and never betray one another! Don't you agree?"

The two stared at each other for a moment before Abel nodded seriously.

The greatest wealth that his past thirty years brought him was probably his superb acting skills in speaking human language to human beings and ghost language to ghosts.

Doflamingo was finally satisfied. He hadn't discovered Abel's problem, and he certainly hadn't expected that this kid would start coveting everything he possessed at this point.

Even if he did find out, given his arrogant personality, he would probably think he could control Abel and not give Abel a chance to retaliate against him.

"Very good. After you recover from your injury, you will still need to learn a lot. Be prepared mentally in advance."

“Baby-5, you stay here and tell him some rules.”

"You're the first person to anger a clan executive while only a trainee member. So be careful not to give anyone any leverage over you, or you'll really be in deep trouble, hee hee hee hee~"

Doflamingo laughed and left, leaving Baby-5 and Abel staring at each other blankly.

“My name is baby-5, and I am the young master’s maid. Now that the young master has accepted you, we are family from now on. You can tell me if you need anything.”

“Gustavus Abel, you can call me Abel. Don’t worry, I won’t stand on ceremony. I’ll be asking you for a lot of help in the future.”
