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

Luo suddenly stopped, looking somewhat disappointed and apologetic.

Abel, however, laughed it off. "You said it yourself, it's already a miracle that I'm still alive. So, isn't it possible that a few more miracles will happen in the future? Maybe one day I'll suddenly be cured without any treatment."

Luo was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. If miracles were so easy to happen, they wouldn't be called miracles.

However, Abel's haphazard approach did provide him with a new perspective. He would need to study it carefully when he returned, as it might lead to a breakthrough in the treatment of lead poisoning.

Thinking of this, he felt somewhat invigorated.

Before leaving, he repeatedly told Abel, "You must never be so reckless again. You were just lucky before, but luck won't always be on your side."

"Yes, yes, I know, I know. Stop nagging..."

After quickly pushing Luo away, Abel knew he had managed to get away with it for the time being.

From now on, we can just keep making up excuses based on this one.

What puzzled him was that his lifespan had actually increased by two years, but Luo couldn't detect it. What was the reason for this?

After thinking it over carefully, Abel came up with a possibility.

Luo actually used the different stages of lead poisoning to estimate his own lifespan and how much time he had left.

In fact, it's very accurate!

The problem is that Abel's lead poisoning has now become a kind of talent, and it has even mutated.

In this situation, calculations based on the original lesion form will naturally no longer be accurate.

Having figured this out, Abel stopped worrying about it.

"Eat rice, eat rice!"

Feeling that he was still not full after rubbing his stomach, Abel simply went to the kitchen for a 'buffet'.

……

For the next period of time, Abel pushed himself to the limit every day, devising a training plan that could be described as devilish.

Doflamingo didn't bother him, and even after he became an executive, he never assigned him any tasks.

This gave Abel the opportunity to break through his own limits in one go.

And this day came earlier than he had expected.

Thud, thud, thud...!

Abel was single-mindedly punching the solid steel pillar in front of him.

It had been a whole day; his fists were already a bloody mess, the bandages wrapped around his hands stained red.

But he continued to throw punches tirelessly, only the speed of his punches became slower and slower...

If someone were present at this moment, they would have noticed that although his punching speed had slowed down, the power gathered in each punch was becoming more and more surging!

Several hours earlier, Abel had felt as if a latent power within his body was about to burst forth when he threw a punch.

It seemed that another punch would shatter this barrier.

But a few hours later, it seemed as if it was just his imagination.

No, that's not an illusion!

Abel could clearly sense that the surging power was about to be unleashed!

One punch, maybe just one more punch...

He gritted his teeth and persevered, with an indomitable spirit, and threw out a powerful right punch!

In an instant, a special stream of energy burst forth from every pore of his body and then condensed on his right fist.

Bang! ! !

With a loud bang, the steel pillar trembled violently.

When Abel stood up again with his fist clenched, a bloody dent was clearly visible on the steel pillar.

Then he stretched out his right hand, as if it were covered by an invisible layer of airflow.

This is the most basic introductory stage of Armament Haki—cloud-like entanglement!

Unable to contain his joy, Abel simply lay back in a starfish position and burst into laughter.

Although mastering Observation Haki and Armament Haki is only the beginning of the path to becoming a strong person, crossing this threshold in such a short time is something to be proud of, even in the Grand Line where there are countless geniuses!

Behind the window of a room directly opposite the training ground, Doflamingo was sipping a glass of red wine, his smile enigmatic.

Although he was very optimistic about Abel's talent and acknowledged that the latter worked hard enough, even to the point of being somewhat self-destructive.

But he still hadn't expected that Abel would be able to learn two kinds of domineering aura in such a short period of time.

Even though it's only at the beginner level, not everyone can do it, not even himself.

"With such a terrifying talent, one day you will surely be feared by the world."

"I'm curious, what choice will you make when that time comes?"

Chapter 125 The Don Quixote Family is the Pride of the North Sea!

With Abel successfully crossing that threshold and learning two techniques for unleashing domineering power, it also means that his 'vacation' is coming to an end.

After all, the rest is all about hard work and perseverance, requiring consistent practice and real combat to achieve new breakthroughs.

As a cadre, he must also fulfill his responsibilities.

So Abel soon received a mission to eliminate some competitors who dared to steal their business.

You can also take this opportunity to try activating Baby-5's new magic weapon form.

The 199 [fallen human souls] are easy to collect, but the one [human soul deeply mired in greed] is not so easy to find.

Fortunately, he is now a family executive and can openly mobilize the family's resources.

So he simply promoted the paparazzi Gabi and handed the task over to him to gather intelligence.

The paparazzi Gabby was extremely excited, knowing that he had finally found the right person to flatter, and immediately swore allegiance.

However, Abel didn't really care about this guy's loyalty.

Because of the limited value available to him, the assistance that can be provided is also extremely limited.

If paparazzi Gabi can no longer demonstrate value in other areas, then he will be promoted at most once more, and that will be the end of his career.

He is not worth continuing to train, and he is even less worthy of using the [Contract to Control Demons].

……

Nottis is a very wealthy place, much like the former white town of Flevans.

She wasn't as beautiful as Fryvanes, nor did she have anything as terrible as lead poisoning.

Doflamingo would naturally not let such a rich island go to waste, and last year he sent his officers to plant the Donquixote Family flag there.

All those who dared to resist were thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

However, as news of the Don Quixote family's crushing defeat and escape by the navy spread far and wide, many forces immediately became restless.

Just recently, a group of bandits known as "Goat Horns" actually pulled down the Don Quixote Family's flag in public, openly provoking them!

Many shops were vandalized and looted.

Many women were even abducted and taken to the mountains for their pleasure.

When the king sent his army to annihilate the bandits, they were utterly defeated!

This undoubtedly emboldened these people even more, showing that if the king dared to send people here again, they would immediately storm into the palace and slaughter everyone!

The king was terrified and dared not make any further moves. In desperation, he could only try to contact the Don Quixote family, attempting to use one enemy against another.

After all, one must choose the lesser of two evils. In comparison, although the Don Quixote family is not exactly a good person either, they are more law-abiding.

For rulers, rules are paramount!

In contrast, those mountain bandits were lawless and acted recklessly.

If this continues, the whole country will be ruined.

On the easily defensible Broken Hanging Mountain, the 'Goat Horn' bandits are indulging in revelry.

All sorts of delicious food and wine that they could never normally eat were now piled up all over the house. They could eat whatever they wanted, and even rinse their mouths with a bottle of red wine that cost hundreds of thousands of Berries!

Moreover, each of them was accompanied by at least three or four beautiful women, all of whom they had robbed from the foot of the mountain.

Once someone had eaten and drunk their fill, they would immediately burst into laughter and pounce on the women, tearing at their clothes without caring at all about performing in front of others.

Because they were originally vulgar and cruel bandits!

In an instant, the sounds of drinking games, shouting, cursing, and women's desperate cries intertwined to create a scene of hell on earth.

"Boss, we caught a sneaky kid out there!"

The people inside were having a good time when the door suddenly opened, and then their subordinates dragged in a blond kid who looked about 12 or 3 years old.

The blond kid seemed to realize the danger and struggled and cursed, trying to break free and escape. However, he overestimated his strength and underestimated how terrifying these bandits were.

"You only discovered this place after a brat had sneaked in? Are you all dead?"

The man with two buns on his head and a long beard threw the wine bottle in his hand, which smashed into his subordinate's head with a bang.

The red wine mixed with blood slowly flowed onto the ground, but his men dared not make a sound, not even daring to glance at the other's comical appearance.

"Just find a random spot outside and bury him. Oh, and clean up the ground before you leave, he's such a bad omen!"

"Okay, boss."

Upon hearing that he was about to be buried alive, the blond brat's eyes widened in terror, and he screamed incessantly, "Let me go! You bastards! Do you know who I am? I'm a member of the Donquixote Family! You're all dead! Captain Doflamingo will kill you all! Let me go..."

Upon hearing the name Don Quixote family, the goatee-bearded man immediately became interested. "Wait a minute, kid, what's your name? Are you from the Don Quixote family?"

"Bellamy! My name is Bellamy! That's right, I joined the Donquixote Family a long time ago. You can still surrender and beg for mercy now, otherwise, when Captain Doflamingo arrives, you will all be dead!"

Bellamy, only 12 years old, looked fierce but was actually cowardly, completely unaware of how ridiculous his outwardly strong but inwardly weak performance was.

"Oh my, the Don Quixote family! I'm so scared! Please, don't kill me, okay? Pfft... Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore."
