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

This statement was actually a test, because he wasn't sure if Baby-5 had already developed the personality from the original work—a person who craves to be needed and can't refuse others when needed.

“Great, I’m needed again~ Abel, you’re a good person.”

The little girl suddenly became shy, and even the way she looked at Abel changed, sparkling all over.

Upon seeing this, Abel immediately understood.

Sure enough, that kind of personality tendency was already emerging at this time.

Although I was inexplicably given a "friend zone" card, at least the other person hasn't learned to smoke or call themselves "old lady" yet...

Otherwise, the thought of such a cute little girl suddenly smoking a cigarette and yelling about how she's doing something is truly chilling.

"So what exactly are the rules that Doflamingo asked me to tell you?" Abel hadn't forgotten the important matter.

“Abel, in the family, trainee members cannot directly address the young master by his full name. You can address him as ‘Young Master’ or ‘Young Master Dover’ like I do, or you can address him as ‘Captain Dover’ like the other crew members do.”

The little girl's face suddenly moved very close as she earnestly corrected Abel's form of address.

Baby-5's breath tickled my face...

Abel leaned back, avoiding such a somewhat intimate gesture. After all, with two lifetimes combined, he was already an old man, and he dared not even entertain any wicked thoughts.

However, he still finds it somewhat difficult to address Doflamingo as "Young Master."

So forget about calling him "Young Master," it's not a loss to just call him "Captain."

In comparison, he is indeed not as powerful as Blackbeard. He was forced to be Whitebeard's adopted son for so many years just for a Devil Fruit.

"Okay, I understand. Can I speak now?"

"Well, actually, there's only one rule in the family—the Blood Family Rule. It means that no matter what kind of treatment you receive or what situation you encounter, you can't disobey the authority of the leaders. If anyone disobeys, then the family can no longer be established."

Chapter Twenty-Two: A man surnamed Tang always talks about his family. Yes, that's right...

"I remember once Buffalo was almost beaten to death for making fun of Lord Pica."

"Therefore, the authority of cadres must not be offended, otherwise they deserve to be killed. Speaking of which, if it weren't for the young master speaking up, you would have been beaten to death by Lord Diamanti long ago."

"To dare to provoke the highest-ranking member of the family as a trainee and still survive, you are truly amazing, Abel!"

In the end, even the little girl seemed to admire him.

But Abel only found it ironic.

"The Blood Family Rules... that really suits Doflamingo's personality!"

Is this what they call family?

interesting!

As expected of members of the Tang family, they always have "family" on their lips.

Abel sneered inwardly; this undoubtedly gave him yet another reason to become an official as soon as possible.

Otherwise, he would have no way to protect his life from danger.

Instead of praying that Diamanti is a forgiving person, it's better to place your hopes on yourself.

"I understand, I've got it. Thank you for telling me this, otherwise I might have offended some official again, which would have been terrible."

"No... no need to thank me, it was all the young master's orders."

The little girl blushed again.

Seeing this, Abel's mood improved somewhat. "By the way, how long was I unconscious? Where did Luo... the guy in the hat who came with me go?"

baby-5 tilted his head and thought seriously for a moment, "He was unconscious for about a day. The guy you mentioned was a bit unlucky. He happened to run into Lady Cora when she came back this morning, and as a result, Lady Cora threw him out."

"Lord Cora?"

"He is a top-ranking officer, just like Lord Diamanti, codenamed Red Heart... However, Lord Cora hates children. Back then, the young master took in about a hundred children, but under Lord Cora's torment, almost all of them eventually ran away. Only Buffalo and I managed to stay."

Abel immediately remembered who it was: Corazon the Second Heart, Rosinante, Doflamingo's younger brother.

This guy is also a lieutenant commander in the Navy Headquarters, a spy sent by Sengoku to infiltrate the Donquixote Family, and a user of the Silence-Silence Fruit.

A good person who shouldn't be here...

In the original story, it was this guy who truly saved Law from the inside out, and in the end, he was killed by Doflamingo while protecting Law, which is very regrettable.

Now Abel finally understood why he hadn't seen Lo.

In order to prevent all the children from being led astray by Doflamingo, Rosinante had no choice but to drive them away in that 'brutal' way.

In fact, he did succeed.

Of the last hundred or so children, only Baby-5, who was abandoned by her mother, and Buffalo, who wasn't very bright, survived.

Now that Luo and Abel have appeared, he has no choice but to return to his old ways.

Poor Luo, who is completely unaware of what's going on, will probably be targeted for a long time.

Thinking about it this way, Abel was actually somewhat glad that he was injured, otherwise there probably wouldn't be just Luo among the unlucky ones who would have been thrown out.

Now that Luo's safety was confirmed, he felt relieved and could stay here to recuperate.

what?

Why not go and "rescue" Luo?

That's absolutely unnecessary!

And it's truly beyond saving.

Who knows, they might end up taking another one with them.

So, just to be on the safe side, he decided to wait until his injuries were fully healed before going to meet that 'brat terminator'.

"Baby-5, I'm a little hungry. Could you please get me some food? Meat would be even better."

"No...no problem, I'll go right now!"

Despite being the one being bothered, baby-5 not only accepted it willingly but also showed great excitement.

Abel himself felt a little embarrassed, but he would still be impolite when necessary.

After all, being a kept man is always a good thing, no matter how small!

A short while later, baby-5 hurriedly brought in a large plate of fragrant roasted meat.

Then someone went even further and said, "I can't eat by myself right now, could you please feed me?"

"Of course, I'm so happy to be needed!"

Baby-5 was so happy that her eyes welled up with tears. She immediately sat down next to him, picked up a fork, and gently fed Abel.

The fact that it could cause such outrageous psychological trauma shows just how terrible Baby-5's previous experiences must have been.

Abel felt immense sympathy and sorrow for this.

The pain made him immediately eat three more large pieces of roasted meat!

In short, it's delicious!

……

While Abel was happily enjoying the delicious food and being fed by the maid, Law was fighting against his current 'lifelong enemy'.

Just hear a bang!

Luo was thrown off the building again, and then crashed heavily into a pile of garbage.

How many times has this happened?

Luo himself couldn't remember anymore. He only remembered that the slightly airheaded jerk threw him out the window without saying a word after seeing him, and every time he was caught sneaking back, the same thing happened.

With his face bruised and swollen, Law got up again, his face full of resentment. Doflamingo had agreed to let him join, but now this had happened. Damn it!

Although Baby-5 and Buffalo had told him the reason, he still thought it was absurd.

Just because you hate children, you want to drive all the children away?

If they don't leave, they'll end up like him, being tormented again and again until they can't take it anymore.

"I will not give up."

Luo gritted his teeth and struggled to walk back into the building.

Meanwhile, on the second floor.

Almost all members of the Don Quixote family gathered together for a meal and enjoyed it immensely.

The food was very plentiful, with steak, red wine, and everything else available.

"Oh ho ho ho ho~ Corazon, you still hate kids so much. How many times have you thrown that guy out? It's about time you gave up."

A middle-aged woman with striking, sharp features, wearing triangular-framed glasses, curly hair, and lip gloss suddenly laughed and teased.

The man who was being spoken to remained silent, only focusing on the food in his bowl.

Everyone had long been used to his silent and eccentric manner.

"Jora, those two brats who joined this time aren't going to back down so easily. I bet Corazon will be the first to give in. Fufufufufu~"

Doflamingo answered in place of Corazon.

"It seems the young master thinks highly of them." Jorah was somewhat surprised.

Little did he know that after hearing Doflamingo's words, Corazon's determination to get rid of the man only grew stronger.

Doflamingo smiled but didn't explain. "By the way, where's Baby-5?"

“Baby-5 came by just now, saying she was going to bring food to the guy in the medical room, and then she didn’t come back.”

Buffalo's tone was somewhat sarcastic, and very sarcastic at that.

It was obviously me who came first...
