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

However, compared to the many things the family needs to plan for in advance, the family cadres who are still able to act at this moment are really stretched thin.

Looking at his wounded 'family', Doflamingo suddenly spoke up: "Given Abel's outstanding performance in this battle, I've decided to promote him to executive rank. What do you all think?"

Abel, who was sitting at the end and dozing off with his head down, suddenly heard someone mention him and immediately looked up in surprise.

"A cadre? Me?"

It seemed that the surprise came so suddenly that he was still somewhat incredulous.

"Could this be the 'surprise' that Doflamingo mentioned to him on the ship?"

Abel wasn't entirely sure, but this 'surprise' was exactly what he wanted.

Because once he has the status of a cadre, he can do many things, including mobilizing family resources and even going out to guard a region.

You don't need to do anything else; just go to Señor for help first.

Under Doflamingo's watchful eye, for a moment no one stood up to refute the matter.

The younger brothers and sisters were simply happy and envious that Abel had become a member of the family; moreover, their opinions were not important.

Señor had always been the family member with the best relationship with Abel, not to mention that Abel had recently helped him win over a girl. Naturally, he was more than in favor of it.

Because of Señor's influence, Guradius will only help, not take advantage of the situation.

Rao G owes Abel a life and now wishes he could teach him everything he has ever learned, so why would he stop Abel from becoming a cadre?

Furthermore, since Jorah and Rao G are best friends and Jorah had long recognized Abel's potential and had taken several opportunities to ease tensions with him, Jorah simply went with the flow.

As for the remaining Torrepol, Pica, and Diamanti, they are all top family executives whose positions will not be shaken. Even if Abel were to become an executive, it would be no different.

Moreover, even if they did have other ideas, they wouldn't question Doflamingo in public.

Finally, Mahabez's opinion was essentially irrelevant.

So when the voices of 'agree' rang out one after another, Abel naturally became a leader.

However, due to his age, he is not currently affiliated with any military unit, and Doflamingo personally issued the order.

Abel was very satisfied with this result!

He had even just decided that if anyone objected and prevented him from becoming a cadre, he would definitely find a chance to get rid of them later!

That's right, he really holds a grudge!

But I never expected him to be so popular.

Ugh, that damn charisma!

Abel, who had no idea what was going on, laughed heartily, and even when he looked at Diamanti, he seemed much more agreeable.

But it's not over yet...

Doflamingo then took out two more boxes, one large and one small.

"As a reward for saving Pique and Rao, and also as a gift to celebrate your promotion to executive, please open it and take a look."

besides?

Abel accepted the reward without hesitation, then opened the smaller box and found a finely crafted flintlock pistol inside, which looked very similar to the one Doflamingo always carried with him.

"Young Master, is this your...?"

Jorah couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Doflamingo immediately burst into laughter, "Fufufufufu, although I did consider giving him this gun, unfortunately, it holds special meaning for me. So I had one made exactly the same. What do you think? Do you like it?"

"Isn't the young master being a bit too biased? This gift is so meaningful, who wouldn't want it?"

Before Abel could answer, Jorah showed an envious expression.

The others also had different expressions. Although it was actually just an ordinary flintlock pistol, as Jorah said, it was of great significance.

This clearly shows how much the young master Dover valued Abel.

Although Abel remained calm inside, he outwardly displayed an unusually excited expression, saying, "I really like this gift."

"Really? I think you'll like the second gift even more."

After putting the flintlock pistol back into the box, Abel turned his gaze to the long, large box next to him. He already had a vague idea of ​​what was inside.

Upon opening it, sure enough!

A long knife lay quietly inside.

Seemingly drawn by something, Abel grabbed the hilt and took it out.

The blade is entirely silver-white with serrated red patterns and a groove in the middle specifically for bleeding. It is 85 centimeters long and has a square guard. Just by looking at it, you can tell that this is no ordinary sword.

Doflamingo then provided an explanation, "This sword is called Onimaru, and it is one of the fifty excellent swords. I don't know which ignorant guy took it to the black market to sell. After I received the news, I thought it would be perfect for you to use."

“Abel, remember this: every drop of blood you shed for the family will not be in vain. We are family, and the family will always be your support.”

Abel nodded immediately and seriously, "Yes, I know."

It was indeed a case of high risk, high reward; the blood shed this time was definitely not in vain.

Although it's clear that Doflamingo is using this method to win people over, it has to be admitted that he is indeed very generous to his own people.

Devil Fruits, famous swords, treasures... whatever you want, I'll give it to you without hesitation, without a second thought.

Don't underestimate this knife just because it's only a "good and fast knife of the 50th grade". It's already extremely rare, especially in a place like Beihai.

Moreover, after the recent battle, Abel realized that he did indeed need a weapon for everyday use.

Otherwise, if Baby-5 loses her fighting ability or is not by his side, he can only use an ordinary short sword to poke around, unable to exert his full strength.

So even if it's a sugar-coated bullet, he decided to take it first.

Chapter 121 Yvette Returns Online

Just when the North Sea was in turmoil and the Don Quixote family was preoccupied with their own troubles.

Slave ships disguised as ordinary shopping malls were advancing at full speed, escorted by several warships.

"Sister Yvette, I'm so scared."

On one of the slave-catching ships, a dirty-faced, black-haired little girl was hiding in a woman's arms, nervously glancing around at the terrifying surroundings.

"Don't worry, your older sister is here and will definitely protect you."

If Abel were here, he would surely recognize the blonde beauty gently comforting the little girl in her arms as Crowley Yvette, whom he had met once before!

This former king was indeed exceptionally unlucky.

After 'seizing' the ships and supplies, she left the terrible and sorrowful land of the Kingdom of Philyèsh with all the slaves.

Exhausted from the journey, he feigned compliance with various forces, all in order to send everyone back to their hometowns and reunite with their families.

But when she actually put it into practice, she realized just how difficult it was!

First of all, these slaves were all captured from various places by slave traders and then sold to the Kingdom of Philyères.

This makes it impossible to plan flight routes, as there are too many places to go, in every direction.

Left with no other choice, she could only send those who lived nearby and remembered where they lived first, to reduce the burden.

After all, with so many people, the food problem alone would be difficult to solve.

Then a new problem arose.

Some people are greeted with hugs and tears of joy upon returning home, while others only see embarrassment and a sense of being unwelcome on their family's faces.

Because of their long disappearance, everyone thought they were dead.

But those who are alive must continue to live.

Therefore, many people have already remarried and started new families.

Seeing your former partner now nestled beside someone else, your children calling someone else "Dad" and "Mom," living in your house, and spending the money you left behind—this is simply the greatest tragedy in the world!

But what can be done now that it has already happened?

Why blame your family for not waiting for you to come back?

In fact, if someone hadn't rescued them, these people might never have returned.

So, are we supposed to make their families wait for them their whole lives?

So should I blame myself?

I blame myself for being too stupid and unlucky, that I would be captured and sold into slavery.

Many people have become confused as a result.

Some returned to find their homes gone, not even knowing whether their family members were alive or dead.

Then Yvette discovered that only a small percentage of people ultimately chose to stay in their hometown.

The rest either couldn't accept it themselves, or their families couldn't accept it, or they simply became homeless...

In the end, all of these people had to return to the ship, like walking corpses, unable to find any meaning in their existence.

Looking at them, Yvette saw a reflection of her younger self.

Feeling lost, helpless, unable to see the future, and unsure of the meaning of my life.

Until that day, the boy brought destruction to that country, but also gave her a new life, allowing her to rediscover the meaning of her existence.

Now it's her turn to save these lost souls.

So, inspired by her own example, more and more people were gradually infected by her bright smile, began to agree with her ideas, and were willing to dedicate themselves to them!

And so, the former king, who had lost her country, regained the worship of her subjects.

Unfortunately, the good times don't last long.

Despite their efforts, they not only sent many people back to their hometowns, but also rescued many more unfortunate people with similar experiences.

However, this also offended the noble forces of many countries and those ruthless slave traders.

Yvette had considered the consequences of doing so.

She had also considered keeping a low profile and proceeding slowly.
