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

Is this the legendary song of ice and fire?!

Chapter 210 It's nothing serious, just a little anemic.

"Abel... what's wrong? Are you hurt? I'll go get the doctor right away."

"No need, I'm just a little... anemic. Could you get me some food, the more the better?"

"No problem, I'll pass the word right away."

Princess Eve quickly lifted her skirt and ran outside, glancing back at Abel with concern every now and then.

She didn't know where the other person went or what they did on the day they disappeared.

But the weak appearance she just saw couldn't be faked.

Ischemia?

"Yes, Abel must have encountered a very formidable enemy. He fought against him for a day and a night before barely winning and then dragged his injured body back."

“Abel didn’t tell me or let me call a doctor because he definitely didn’t want me to see the terrible wound he was hiding under his clothes.”

"Abel must have bled so much blood, sob sob sob."

Princess Eve must have imagined some strange things, because she found herself moved to tears.

Even the 'weak' Abel was stunned. 'Princess, I really just wanted to eat something!'

In truth, he had a lot of fault for it.

After obtaining the cultivation method of the [Kaba Blood Burning Meditation Secret Technique], he couldn't wait to try it out.

The process went very smoothly, making him feel quite comfortable amidst the heat and coolness.

Although he didn't understand the specific principles, he could definitely feel his mental strength slowly increasing!

If I absolutely had to name any side effects...

That is, he was so immersed in the joy of his spiritual growth that he ignored the fact that the human body has a limited amount of blood!

If it weren't for the food cells in his body sensing the danger and constantly mobilizing bioenergy to accelerate blood production while sending him warning signals, he might have died from blood loss.

Upon waking up, Abel discovered that he was in a critical condition due to severe blood loss!

Fortunately, the food cells were constantly accelerating their hematopoietic process in order to save themselves, which gave him a chance to make amends.

Without any hesitation, I quickly did three sit-ups!

The talent [Spirit of the Warrior] is instantly activated, clearing all temporary negative statuses and reviving the user with full health.

And if it's said to be fully recovered, then it really means fully recovered.

But the gourmet cells in Abel's body wouldn't have it and started to rebel.

Fortunately, Abel always carried some food with him just in case, and it came in handy now.

So he immediately threw out Capsule No. 1, opened the safe, and ate all the food inside.

However, the bioenergy provided by these foods is far too little to be sufficient.

There was no other way but to take out the [Yukihira-ryu Super Invincible Special Bento] and eat three servings before he could finally calm her down.

The matter should have ended there.

However, when Abel returned to Roman Island, he couldn't resist practicing the [Kaba Blood Burning Meditation Technique] again.

His thought was: "Since I'm already back, I'll just cultivate for a little while. As long as I don't 'burn' too much blood, I don't need to worry about any accidents."

No accident occurred.

But it really did make me anemic!

That's why the initial dialogue occurred.

In addition, the [Kaba Blood Burning Meditation Secret Technique] is not a skill. Like [Food Righteousness], it is considered a kind of 'knowledge', a special skill, so there is no such thing as upgrading it.

How much mental strength you can increase depends entirely on how much blood you have to 'burn'.

Abel guessed that the person who created this secret technique must have had a special training method, otherwise how could the little blood in his body be enough to burn?

One practice session followed by a month of bed rest?

Wouldn't that make it useless?

Not everyone can be like him, with food cells in his body that can help accelerate blood production, and he also has the talent [Samurai Soul], which allows him to be fully revived every 24 hours.

So Abel pondered this for a long time and concluded that the problem might lie in the blood.

He almost forgot that ordinary Kabane also need to replenish their blood in time to survive. If they don't drink blood in time, they will eventually turn into mindless monsters like the Kabane.

"So the real way to cultivate this thing is to replenish one's body with other people's blood?"

Abel thought about it and felt it was quite possible.

The Kabaneri, being a unique species, doesn't have any blood rejection issues, and since they are all eventually 'burned' away, it doesn't really matter to them.

"Am I going to become a 'vampire' in the future?"

Just as Abel raised his eyebrows with a strange expression, Princess Eve hurriedly entered with many servants pushing food carts.

"I've asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of blood-nourishing dishes. Eat slowly, there's plenty more to come."

"Okay, thanks!"

"Honestly, do we really need to be so polite between us?"

"..."

Ignoring the princess's shy expression, Abel immediately began to eat heartily.

"Mmm...delicious!"

The moment the delicious food entered his mouth and was swallowed, the wonderful sense of satisfaction instantly made Abel shake off the thoughts that had suddenly popped into his head.

Screw 'vampires'!

Why not enjoy all this delicious food instead of becoming a blood-drinking monster?

Why bother!

Anyway, with his culinary talent and the innate ability of the "Samurai Spirit," he can still cultivate this secret technique, at most it will just be a little slower.

The power of delicious food made him stop worrying.

This meal lasted a full three hours!

The royal chefs were all exhausted. At first, they had made the dishes beautifully presented, with various ingenious carvings and plating.

But later on, to hell with the exquisiteness, to hell with the art!

Turn the fire up high, bring the meat, grill it for me!

Put the big pot in, throw all the ingredients in, cover it, and cook!

Even the king was alarmed, staring speechlessly at the mountain of plates piled up in the room, and at the 'gluttonous' Don Quixote family member whose belly showed no sign of swelling!

At that moment, a thought suddenly popped into his head: it was time to keep an eye on that girl Eve.

Otherwise, if she brings him to the palace to eat like this a few more times, he might fall into a financial crisis. He doesn't want to become the first king to be eaten out of his pocket!

At this moment, Abel had no idea that his wild eating habits had frightened the king and inadvertently helped him solve the problem of Princess Eve.

If he had known earlier, he probably would have revealed his true colors long ago.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I'll be going now."

"I send you……"

“Eve! Your mother wants to ask you something and wants you to come over.”

"I'll go back in a bit."

"I'm telling you to go now!"

"Humph!"

Princess Eve left reluctantly, and the two men breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Then the two looked at each other and nodded slightly, seemingly understanding each other's thoughts.

Perhaps this is the tacit understanding between men.

Chapter 211 The Navy is Attacking Again?

When Abel returned to Gabriel Island, he was surprised to find the island filled with a somber atmosphere.

I asked around and found out that the news that had just come in said that the navy had suddenly gone crazy again and started to sweep through the Don Quixote family's public businesses.

But since these are things that are out in the open, of course they are not afraid of being investigated.

The navy is just venting its anger and making things unpleasant for others by doing this.

If this happened around the time when Colonel Tanuki was killed, it would be understandable if other navy personnel did something like this in a fit of anger.

But so much time has passed, what's the point of doing this now?

Abel couldn't understand it.

In fact, Doflamingo didn't understand it either.

Although the navy finally took action, which put his mind at ease, he could only remain on high alert until he figured out what the navy was up to.

Diamanti pushed open the door and entered the room.

"Dover, the money has already been spent. Although the navy personnel we bribed are unaware of this and are simply following orders, they have assured us that they will gather useful intelligence as soon as possible and hand it over to us."

"The orders from higher-ups...did they specify which higher-ups?"

"No, but in Beihai, only that old woman He has the highest rank."

Doflamingo frowned; every time he fought Tsuru, he felt extremely exhausted.
