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

Even if he doesn't eat it, he can sell it for money, or use it to strengthen his subordinates if someone becomes a loyal follower.

Now that he already has it, surely no one would really ask him to hand it over selflessly?

Anyway, no one knows what's hidden inside, so whatever he says will be the final word.

Most importantly, this thing can actually be sold to the system?!

The moment he touched the Devil Fruit, the dog system immediately popped up a notification.

[High-value items detected; it is recommended to sell them to the in-game store for trading points.]

Highlight key words: high value, recommended to sell, exchange for trading points.

Then he tried it out, and the system store directly gave him a buyback price of 1500 transaction points.

It's roughly the same price as a regular-quality purple item.

He knew very well that the price for recycling was usually 20% lower than the selling price, or even more!

In other words, the value of a Devil Fruit is definitely higher than 1500 trading points!

Then I recalled that as long as I obtained the [Intermediate Trading Qualification], I could post [Wish Orders]...

Abel decisively chose not to sell!

Selling to the system's online store is clearly the worst possible and most unavoidable solution.

In his understanding, under such circumstances, the addition of the word "suggestion" can mostly be interpreted as "not recommended"!

He felt that the most correct way to use it was to post "wish orders" in exchange for resources of equal value that he needed.

Moreover, even if he really needs trading points someday, he can still sell them then, so there's no need to cut off his escape route at this point.

Then there's the black rat Sini... oh wait, now it's the white rat Sini.

He found the crumpled treasure map on the white rat Sini, then chopped off his head and threw the body into the cellar.

He planned to throw a few bombs inside to completely destroy the evidence.

That way, even if someone suspects he took something afterward, without evidence, they can only suspect it.

Does anyone dare to come to the Don Quixote family to demand a debt?

……

"Hawkins, where are we going? Are you going to do another fortune telling session?"

"Goes Theatre".

After the freckled girl asked for the nth time, Hawkins finally gave an answer.

"Huh? The Goethe Theatre?! What are we going there for? To see a musical? Didn't they say that the owner and the actress who played Princess Oran were brutally murdered?"

The freckled girl cried out in surprise, then quickly lowered her voice when she noticed the strange looks from those around her.

"Out of curiosity, I did some divination beforehand to find out where the murderer was hiding. According to the divination, there was a 95% probability that the murderer was still hiding in the Goethe-La Theater..."

"Then how dare you come here! No, come back with me right now, it's too dangerous!"

The freckled girl panicked upon hearing this. Although she didn't really believe in divination, her friend had made several 'predictions' that had all come true!

Normally she could stubbornly say she didn't believe it, but when it came to something so dangerous, she simply couldn't be willful.

"No, I came here to verify the accuracy of the divination results."

Hawkins shook his head. Actually, there was another reason he didn't mention. He came here specifically to verify the accuracy of the predictions and also to perform two divinations on himself. The prediction showed a 99% survival rate, meaning he would be in almost no danger.

The other metric was luck, which was around 50%.

He tried guessing heads or tails after a coin fell when his luck was 80%. He tried a full hundred times and finally guessed correctly 81 times!

On that day, he found money 13 times, and the drink he bought on a whim won the grand prize at the store.

Of course, such a situation is extremely rare and hard to come by.

Under normal circumstances, an average person's luck rate of 10% is already considered very good.

But today, it's 50%!

This means he will have a significant reward on this trip.

"You go back first, I'll be fine."

Hawkins's stubbornness made the freckled girl stomp her feet twice, but in the end, she was still worried and ran after him.

Turn this corner and you'll see the Goethe Theatre.

But just then, a loud explosion caused chaos in the surrounding area.

Right before Hawkins and the freckled girl's eyes, the place they were heading towards suddenly burst into flames and thick black smoke!

"Thank goodness, if we had gotten here any earlier..."

The freckled girl kept patting her nascent breasts, clearly still very frightened.

Hawkins couldn't help but frown.

Because this differs from the results of his divination!

So he immediately took out his tarot cards again, ignoring the noisy surroundings and the people running around, and began to do another divination.

He was so engrossed that he didn’t even notice Abel walking past him.

"Why? How come it's different?"

Near the Goethe-Stadt, Hawkins muttered to himself, somewhat lost in thought.

Just now, he consulted the oracle again to see how lucky he would be today.

The result was a mere 1%!

That's a level that's even lower than that of an ordinary person.

From 50% to 1%... this has never happened before, it's as if someone has taken away all his luck.

Hawkins looked at the still-burning Goethe Theatre with a puzzled expression, and suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

"What's wrong, Hawkins? Your face suddenly looks terrible."

The girl's caring tone brought Hawkins back to his senses. He sighed, put away the tarot cards, and shook the feeling out of his head. "It's nothing, let's go back."

"Not going to watch anymore? ...Yeah, it's burned like this, even if there really is a murderer inside, they're definitely dead."

"Ah."

"Do you think it's possible that this fire was started by the perpetrator to cover up their crime?"

"Ah."

"What's wrong with you? All you do is give 'uh-huh' to brush people off. Next time you go out and do fortune-telling for someone, don't ask me to cover for you. Hey, wait for me! Why are you walking so fast..."

The two figures stretched longer and longer under the sunlight.

Chapter 83 G~G~G~Baby~Baby~

"It's actually this Devil Fruit?"

Abel kept flipping through the "Devil Fruit Encyclopedia" until he finally found an identical picture.

"Straw-Straw Fruit, Paramecia-type Devil Fruit... It has the ability to turn one's body into straw, and can also create straw dolls to attack others."

"The description of this ability is far too brief."

It feels like it's been introduced, but not fully introduced.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The basic abilities of each Devil Fruit are fixed, and the upper limit depends entirely on the user's own development.

It's neither necessary nor possible to list all the moves and abilities developed by each user.

Even if someone were willing to do that, they probably wouldn't live to see the next day.

No Devil Fruit user would willingly expose their abilities in such detail to everyone.

The Navy or the World Government may possess a detailed version of the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, but it is almost impossible for outsiders to see it.

"So this Devil Fruit was originally supposed to be that guy's opportunity, but I snatched it away beforehand?"

Abel felt no remorse whatsoever when he recalled the blond charlatan who had offered to tell his fortune with tarot cards.

Clearly, the opponent couldn't control this Devil Fruit.

Rather than becoming a disgrace to the Supernova and risking his life to prove his integrity, it's better to change his lifestyle early on.

He thought being a fortune teller was a great job, with a promising future!

After learning about the Devil Fruit's abilities, Abel had no intention of eating it.

Although the 'Stand Scarecrow' in the original work has a rather interesting ability, not only can it transfer damage, but it can also die in someone else's place.

But to be honest, this Devil Fruit's power is limited.

Moreover, it doesn't suit his fighting style.

Therefore, it's better to keep it as a backup.

Abel, in a good mood, carefully put the straw fruit close to his body. Unfortunately, he couldn't put it in the "All-Purpose Capsule No. 1," as it was somewhat unsafe.

Because Capsule No. 1 can only compress and restore non-living objects that do not contain special energy, while Devil Fruits obviously belong to that special category.

So he could only be extra careful not to let anyone find out.

……

The port town of Spidamarus.

Upon returning, Abel immediately went to Doflamingo and briefly recounted the mission's events using a pre-prepared narrative.

"Hmm? Hiding their strength? Black Rat Sini is just a decoy used by the other side to mislead others?"

Doflamingo's expression was somewhat unpleasant at this moment.

This is the second major mistake made by one of his intelligence agents in recent times!

Not only were they completely led by the nose, but they were also made fools of!
