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

"I just thought this place was unlucky and disgusting! Heh heh heh! Damn it, didn't you say the body was just dumped here?"

"This is definitely the place. I even left a mark. It must have been buried underneath. Let's find it quickly."

"If you ask me, you're a real pervert, actually thinking of hiding things inside a corpse."

"Hmph! We work so hard to get a little profit, and those bastards up there just want to take it all with a few words, then throw us some scraps of bone and call it a day? No way! I won't do that! Once I get these jewels and exchange them for money, I can easily find a small island and live the life of a rich man for the rest of my life!"

"Haha, you're right, let's give it our all!"

Although the two soldiers felt uneasy here, they were driven by greed, like birds that would die for money. Their faces were filled with greed as they searched for the valuable jewels hidden among the corpses.

"That's really strange. It's right here, so how come it's not here?"

"Are you sure you've got the place right?"

"That's impossible. Forget it, let's search the surrounding area..."

As Abel lay on the ground pretending to be dead, he heard the approaching footsteps and his heart tightened.

If this is discovered, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

He didn't want to gamble, so he immediately took out the "I am a passerby" coin from his system inventory and chose to use it.

The next moment, the coin shattered and vanished.

The effect of "I'm just a passerby" began to take hold, significantly reducing Abel's own presence.

One of the soldiers had already walked up to Abel and started searching through the surrounding corpses, but strangely, he ignored Abel's presence every time and never touched him.

Otherwise, Abel, who was pretending to be dead, might have already been exposed.

After all, no matter how much he held his breath, his heart was still beating slowly and powerfully, and the body temperature of the living and the dead was vastly different, making it easy to distinguish between them.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel fortunate.

But not everyone has his good fortune.

A soldier who was searching for the body in another direction suddenly exclaimed, attracting the attention of his comrades.

"Found it!! Huh? What the hell is that?!"

"Come quick! There's a kid still alive here?!"

"Quick...grab him!"

Upon hearing the shout, Abel almost instinctively thought he had been discovered.

But when he quietly opened his eyes, he saw that the two soldiers had blocked a little boy wearing a black and white spotted hat between them.

"This guy is... Law? Trafalgar Law?"

Abel recognized the other person almost instantly.

Because in this world, they were not only partners in the same church, but Abel had even been treated for lead poisoning by Lo's father.

So the two of them are actually... childhood friends?

Upon discovering this connection between himself and the future supernova in his memories, Abel hesitated.

If he continues to play dead, he will most likely not be discovered, and his chances of survival are high.

But other than that, he won't gain anything else.

And you have to pin all your hopes on the other party finding their things and leaving quickly, otherwise things might change once the duration of "I am just a passerby" is over.

However, if he chooses to save people, he will first put himself in danger, even though he is quite confident that he can get away unscathed.

He is not a saint; he does not have the compassion to save everyone he meets.

So at this moment, he was weighing the cost of choosing to save people, and what he could gain!

Chapter Four: The Secret Technique - The Kick That Cuts Off Offspring!

"You actually hid in the pile of corpses the whole time... If you hadn't been unlucky enough to run into us, you might have actually escaped, you remnant of the White Town."

"Why waste words with him? Just kill him already. Find the item and get out of here!"

"Kid, blame your bad luck."

One of the soldiers grinned maliciously as he raised his gun and aimed it at Luo.

They felt no guilt whatsoever!

I just felt that Luo, who was alive, was both in the way and an eyesore.

With nowhere to escape, Luo gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred and resentment!

He hated his own weakness, and even more so the inhuman executioners who slaughtered everyone in Flevans.

"Is it all going to end? I haven't yet taken revenge on this hopeless world... I'm not reconciled!"

Just as the other man's finger slowly pulled the trigger, a series of images flashed through Luo's mind: his father, mother, sister, nuns, and fellow church members...

But at that moment, no one noticed that a figure had quietly crept up behind the soldier who was about to fire.

【Leg Strength Enhancement Shoes】Instantly adjusted to the highest level three, the foot acupoints are stimulated by both electricity and magnetism, and the strength of the right leg muscles is immediately brought to the limit.

Secret Technique: The Kick That Cuts Off Offspring!

Abel used all his strength to kick hard between the opponent's legs!

This kick was absolutely earth-shattering!

It's not about the power, but the terrible consequences it caused.

In that instant, it felt as if something had shattered.

The soldier who was ambushed by Abel felt a sharp pain coming from between his legs. Then, as if all the strength had been drained from his body, he knelt on the ground, his face pale, his eyes bulging, and drooling.

Despite being in excruciating pain, all they could do was open their mouths wide and let out a silent scream.

That kind of pain was worse than death!

Just like that, the guy was so hurt that he fainted, his vision went black, and he collapsed.

All of this happened in an instant; the other soldier and Luo, who had been waiting to die, both had somewhat blank expressions.

I can't understand why there are other people here, and that kick just now, it really hurt just to look at it, making me want to clench my legs.

In this situation, even if Abel had used the "I'm just a passerby" ability beforehand, it would have been ineffective. He could no longer be ignored, since reducing his presence doesn't mean he would actually become invisible!

But Abel, who had landed a successful shot, did not freeze like the others, nor did he try to pick up the gun that had just fallen to the ground.

Instead, he threw what he was holding at another soldier.

This action finally woke the other party up!

He almost instinctively rolled to the side, perfectly dodging... a banana.

That's right, what Abel just threw out was actually a banana.

"court death!"

Upon seeing this, the soldier was furious and felt even more ashamed and angry at himself for his overly sensitive behavior.

He actually got tricked by that brat!

He immediately stood up, raised his gun, and aimed it...

"Huh? What about people?"

"Get down!"

Abel, who had already taken the opportunity to hide, saw that Luo was still standing there dumbfounded, so he could only shout.

Whether Luo can truly grasp his meaning remains to be seen.

Fortunately, Luo wasn't stupid and had already recognized Abel, so he immediately obeyed and lunged forward, lying on the ground.

Then, the next second, a banana not far from the soldier's feet suddenly exploded!

With a loud bang, it was blown into the sky.

I bet this guy will never understand what happened, not even until he dies.

Only Abel was secretly regretting the 5 trade points he had spent on the [Banana Grenade].

However, considering its power and deceptiveness alone, it's definitely worth it.

After all, how many people would be afraid to go away from a banana...?

Although the feeling of killing for the first time was not good, it was not as unbearable as Abel had imagined when he opened his eyes again to find himself lying next to countless corpses.

boom!

Just then, a gunshot rang out, drawing his attention.

Turning his head, he saw that it was Luo who had picked up the gun on the ground and shot the unlucky soldier who had been shot in the balls earlier with a fierce look on his face.

At this moment, Luo exuded a terrifying aura that kept strangers at bay. In just one day, he had experienced the murder of his parents, the burning of his sister, and the shooting of nuns and church companions... such devastating despair that was utterly agonizing.

This is simply unbearable for a ten-year-old child.

How did it feel to kill someone for the first time?

Abel slowly took the gun from Luo's hand, his tone enigmatic.

The weapons were taken away in case Luo suddenly went mad and hurt him.

The reason he ultimately decided to save Law was that he felt this future supernova had 'investment' value, and the price he would have to pay was negligible.

He believed that as a fellow survivor from Fryvanes and a fellow member of the same church, this life-saving grace should be something Luo would remember for the rest of his life.

Although this idea was somewhat utilitarian, Abel didn't feel embarrassed at all.

He's not anyone's father. Why would he save someone without expecting anything in return?

Luo did not answer Abel's question immediately, nor did he stop Abel from taking the gun from his hand.

This is undoubtedly good news.

Abel didn't want to save a madman who was unable to communicate and full of self-destructive tendencies... At least Luo wasn't that bad yet.

Luo took a few deep breaths, the emptiness and numbness in his eyes fading slightly, before he spoke: "This feeling is terrible... but it can't stop me at all."
