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

The following day, Abel continued to pretend to be injured and weak, comfortably enjoying the little girl's happy feeding service.

Then, from the conversation, he heard another piece of news.

"Dover... Captain Dover has left with his crew?"

"Yes, apart from Lord Kora who stayed behind at the base, all the other officers have already set off. Their destination is the port town of Rakesh. The young master hates traitors the most, so he decided to eliminate them. I was supposed to go with them, but I stayed behind because Abel needed my care."

Seeing Baby-5's expression that seemed to say "Praise me!", Abel couldn't help but smile. "Yes, I really... really, really need you right now. It's so good that you can stay."

For Baby-5, this is probably the most powerful compliment.

As a result, her cute little face turned bright red instantly, as if steam was rising from her head, and she felt a little dizzy.

Seeing this, Abel couldn't resist taking the opportunity to pinch the little girl's cheeks twice.

Hmm, it's soft and feels great.

If I slapped her, she'd probably cry for a long time.

Of course, this mischievous idea only flashed through my mind for a moment.

After all, he had long considered everything here as his own, and sooner or later he would 'inherit' Doflamingo's legacy, which naturally included the obedient Baby-5.

“Abel…Abel seems a little different today.”

Baby-5 approached him shyly, then twitched her nose twice.

"What's different?" Abel was also very curious. He wanted to know how others saw him now and what changes had occurred so that he could find an excuse to cover it up.

"She seems... to have become more beautiful, and her scent... is very pleasant."

Seeing that Baby-5 was about to climb onto him without him noticing, Abel had to flick her forehead and say, "It must be because she took a bath."

Baby-5 let out a soft "ah," puffed out her cheeks, and covered her forehead with her hand, but in her mind, she was thinking, "That's true, she always smells so nice after a bath."

So they believed it without thinking about whether Abel could take a bath because of his injuries, or where he actually took a bath.

After breakfast, Abel suggested that he wanted to take a walk around.

Once again in need, Baby-5 immediately transformed into the most qualified guide, leading him on a tour of the base.

With Baby-5 leading the way and the other executives absent, no one stopped them along the way.

Aside from some places that even Baby-5 himself couldn't easily enter, Abel explored every corner and learned that the Don Quixote family's current situation wasn't as good as he had imagined.

Not only are many forces in the North Sea dissatisfied with the Don Quixote family's domineering behavior, but they also openly and secretly oppose them.

There's also the navy led by Tsuru, who relentlessly pursue the Donquixote Family.

Otherwise, given Doflamingo's personality, he wouldn't have set up one of his bases in such a dirty and chaotic environment as a junkyard.

If conditions allowed, this guy would definitely want to live in the largest and most magnificent palace and enjoy the most precious delicacies.

Don't ask why, the answer is that it's some kind of gene deep within the Celestial Dragons that's causing this.

After touring the base, Abel finally remembered his 'good brother,' "Is Luo still outside?"

"Hmm, it seems like Lord Kora has already thrown him out nineteen times."

Before Baby-5 could finish speaking, the two of them suddenly heard the sound of breaking window glass and something hitting the ground heavily.

"This is the twentieth time now..."

Chapter Twenty-Six: Assassination and Escape

After throwing Luo off the second floor for the twentieth time, Corazon lit a cigarette, feeling quite troubled.

He never expected that a little kid would be so persistent.

But it should have reached its limit by now, since it was already covered in injuries.

However, Luo didn't think so.

He will never give up!

Corazon successfully received that fierce look.

So he had no choice but to go outside and find a place to sit down.

This time, he planned to block them directly from entering, not even giving them a chance to go in.

Another reason for doing this was that he was afraid that if he threw it a few more times, he would kill Luo.

This completely contradicts his original intention.

"Once we get rid of this guy, hopefully the other kid still lying in the medical room will be easier to deal with," Corazon thought to himself, before his mind drifted off.

At this moment, Luo was almost blinded by rage.

He completely disregarded all warnings and the family rules of the Blood Clan.

Now all he knows is that if he can't get rid of that bastard Corazon, he'll never have a chance to join the Don Quixote family.

Luo gritted his teeth, looked around, and seeing that no one was around, a wicked thought suddenly arose in his mind!

"Kill him! As long as no one sees it, no one will know it was me!"

So he found the dagger that had fallen nearby on the first day, and then quietly walked toward Corazon, who was lost in thought.

As Abel and Baby-5 came out of the building, they saw Law wielding a dagger and viciously stabbing Corazon in the back.

"what!"

Baby-5 instinctively screamed.

Corazon and Luo's attention were drawn to it almost simultaneously.

"Damn it! We've been discovered, and at this time of year!"

However, with the arrow already on the bowstring, Luo had no choice but to release it. He gritted his teeth and thrust the knife forward.

puff!

Corazon, who had already sensed the murderous aura behind him, did not dodge for some reason. Instead, he slightly twisted his body to avoid a vital spot and then took the blow head-on.

"Success!"

Luo was overjoyed; all he needed to do next was deal with the witnesses.

The other party was just a little girl, not to mention that he also saw Abel, whom he hadn't seen for several days, next to her!

If the two of them join forces, there is still a chance they can deceive everyone.

It must be said that Luo was still somewhat naive at this stage.

In this world, many people do things without needing any so-called evidence.

If Corazon really dies here, then when Doflamingo returns, he will only kill all the suspects to avenge his younger brother, and that's all.

"Luo, you're definitely dead this time!"

Fatty Buffalo appeared not far behind Luo at some point, holding a large ice cream in his hand, looking like he had just returned from shopping.

By sheer coincidence, he witnessed Law assassinating Corazon, and was so frightened that he dropped his ice cream on the ground.

Luo, who turned around and saw Buffalo return, was utterly speechless.

You guys should have shown up two minutes earlier!

They didn't show up earlier or later, but they just happened to appear at the crucial moment when he was about to make his move!

Luo was so frustrated he felt like he was going to vomit blood.

Even in a 2v2 situation now, his chances of winning against Abel are not high, after all, Abel's arms are broken, and the chubby Buffalo's 'fighting power' looks pretty strong.

Moreover, all the other party needs to do is shout twice, and someone will come over, and then everything will be over.

With that in mind, Luo immediately made a decision.

escape!

He doesn't want to die, or rather, he can't die right now.

Then the only option is to escape.

And in order not to implicate Abel, he turned and ran without even saying goodbye.

"You can't escape, you're dead!"

Buffalo shouted as he chased after him.

What he was thinking was, if he could capture Luo, wouldn't that be a great achievement?

When the young master returns, won't he reward him with a hundred or two ice creams?!

I'll go all out for ice cream!

Abel watched as Luo disappeared in the blink of an eye, feeling utterly speechless.

He knew why Luo ran away, and he also knew why Luo ignored him.

But... it really isn't necessary!

At the same time, he had no intention of chasing after him at all, because Buffalo was right about one thing: there was no way Luo could escape.

Since we'll be caught sooner or later anyway, why waste our energy?

Then he saw Corazon stand up while spitting blood, with a knife stuck in his back, and walk inside.

Abel suddenly began to suspect that this guy might have deliberately not dodged the knife in order to force Luo away.

In any case, this guy is a genuine Navy Headquarters Lieutenant Commander, so it's impossible that he wouldn't react at all to Rona's vicious sneak attack.

But if it was done on purpose, just to scare Luo away, then everything makes sense.

Even if someone is bad at something, they shouldn't be this bad...

Just as Corazon was passing by Abel and Baby-5, he suddenly reached out and tried to grab Abel's head.

"Damn it, I was prepared for this!"

Cursing under his breath, Abel, who had been watching his opponent's movements closely, immediately dodged backward, preventing the attack from succeeding.

Seeing Abel's quick reaction, Corazon, who had intended to press his advantage, was taken aback for a moment before pretending nothing had happened and leaving.
