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

Doflamingo didn't think much about their bonded relationship. After all, the original 'Bomber' combination wasn't very valuable, so it didn't matter whether they trained together or not.

Buffalo, on the other hand, has been trained so hard lately that he's lost a lot of weight.

It's likely that the previous incident made Doflamingo realize that the Navy had found a way to deal with him, so he became more cautious and placed greater emphasis on the power of flight.

Especially creatures like Buffalo that can fly without external assistance.

In addition, Doflamingo was not stingy.

Tell Abel to eat whatever he wants outside, and to ask Torebour for money if he runs out, emphasizing his wealthy and powerful image.

Indeed, after monopolizing the entire underground business in the North Sea and ceasing the war with the navy, the Don Quixote family naturally made a fortune every day.

In addition, with the huge amount of low-interest funds obtained from Du Feld, there is no need to worry about money for the time being.

Abel, of course, wouldn't hold back.

Since he was contributing to the family, he couldn't just starve himself.

He still vividly remembered his experience of going to the Grand Line to rip off a big spender.

This time I can finally enjoy the food of the Grand Line again.

So the next day, Abel took Baby-5 and set off for the Grand Line.

To make it easier to stay in touch, Doflamingo gave him another Den Den Mushi, as the previous one was completely broken and unusable.

……

Two days later, at Moyu Island in the first half of the Grand Line.

"Lord Trebol, another pirate ship has arrived at the port, and many people have disembarked, claiming that they want to make this their territory."

"Which pirate crew is it this time, and how much is their bounty?"

Torrepol sniffled irritably and asked, his dark circles under his eyes clearly indicating he hadn't slept well for a long time.

"The Giant Shark Pirates, captained by 'Shark Arm' Eiger, with a bounty of 2333 million."

"Another one of these reckless 'newcomers'."

Torrepol cursed under his breath, but he still had no choice but to get up and go out, ready to wipe them all out.

Since arriving in the first half of the Grand Line to serve as an outpost for the family, such provocations have occurred almost every few days.

He had already acquired three islands as potential bases for his family's future arrival.

However, within a few days, it would be forcibly taken over and occupied by a pirate crew that appeared out of nowhere.

Unfortunately, he couldn't be in two places at once; once he solved one problem, the other two were already gone.

Left with no other choice, he had to give up the other two islands and focus on guarding Moyu Island.

While helping the family open up sales channels in the underworld, he also secretly helped the young master gather all the information about 'Heavenly Gold'.

With so many responsibilities weighing on his shoulders, he was truly suffering.

But then he thought about it again, and realized that this was all because the young master valued and trusted him, so he couldn't let the young master down.

While gritting his teeth and deciding to eliminate all those useless people, Torrepol was also wondering when his young master would send some people to help him.

In the short time he was distracted, he arrived near the port.

Chapter 248 The Situation in the First Half of the Grand Line

"When will this ever end? Sigh..."

Torrepol sighed and quickened his pace.

"Huh? Why is there no sound at all?"

As they were about to arrive at the port, Torrepol suddenly felt something was wrong.

In the past, those arrogant 'rookie' pirates could be heard laughing and talking loudly from afar.

Some even smashed everything in sight, forcing the family to allocate a portion of their funds to compensate for these losses.

But what's going on today?

Why did things suddenly quiet down like this?

Could it be that this group of 'newcomer' pirates is going for a low-key and refined style?

But the names "Giant Shark Pirates" and "Shark Arm" Yig don't sound like they're going for a low-key approach at all.

"Never mind, we'll know at a glance."

Without much thought, Torrepol finally entered the port area and immediately spotted a familiar face.

"Abel?! And Baby-5? What are you doing here?"

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why it was so quiet here when pirates were causing trouble. Turns out you guys took care of them."

At this moment, Abel was sitting on a 'mountain' made up of all the crew members of the Giant Shark Pirates, holding half of 'Shark Arm' Yig's body in his hand.

The so-called "shark arm" Yi Ge is nothing more than an "ordinary person" with two sharks with gaping mouths tattooed on his arms.

Not even a Devil Fruit user, with such mediocre skills, yet dares to come to the Grand Line to cause trouble?

Abel seriously doubted whether the other person's brain had completely gone malfunctioned.

"Hello, long time no see, Torrebol. This is a gift for you, no need to thank me."

Abel leaped down from the corpse and then threw half of 'Shark Arm' Yig's body onto the ground as easily as crushing an ant.

"Hehehe, what brings you here? Did the young master send you?!"

Upon realizing a possibility, Torrepol immediately perked up, his eyes filled with eagerness.

Abel had no time to tease a slovenly old man, so he simply nodded and said, "You're always complaining to Captain Dover, right? Captain Dover got tired of it. All the other officers are busy, but I'm relatively free, so I came over. Baby-5 is the same."

"That's great! I'm going crazy because of these reckless 'rookie' pirates."

"Come with me quickly, I'll arrange for someone to prepare some food for you."

"Okay, I've been stretching a bit and I'm a little hungry. I'm going to have a big meal!"

"No problem, I'll make sure you're full!"

“You’re quite something. By the way, didn’t Captain Dover tell you that I came to help you?”

"Uh, maybe they wanted to surprise me."

"Are you sure it's not because you're afraid he'll bother you again?"

"..."

Torrepol froze for a moment before continuing, "I am the highest-ranking officer in the family, why would Dover bother with me?"

"hehe."

"you do not believe?"

"Trust, trust, trust."

"I don't know why, but your answers have been really unpleasant since just now."

"That might be because you didn't sleep well last night. Your dark circles look like you've been punched twice."

"Ahem... I said, I am the highest-ranking official in the family."

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"Can't you show some respect?"

"Okay, then I'll go?"

"Where are you going?!"

"Go back to Beihai."

"No! It was just a joke, why are you getting so worked up? Come on, let's try some of the local delicacies. I guarantee you won't find anything like them in Beihai."

"How about we replace him with someone who has more respect for the top officials?"

"Hey, what's with all this talk about respect? The highest-ranking officer is still an officer, it's all the same. Besides, didn't Dover give you authority equivalent to that of the highest-ranking officer? I think you'll become the fifth highest-ranking officer in the family sooner or later."

"As expected of Lord Torebol, the highest-ranking official in the family, he speaks so pleasantly."

"Why are you still calling me 'adult'? It's too formal. We're 'family,' so just call me by my name from now on."

"it's not good……"

"What's wrong with that? Listen to me, let's stay here tonight."

I don't know what kind of torture they've put Torrepol in during this time. He's even abandoned his dignity as the highest-ranking officer of the family and dragged him to the family's residence.

Although the focus has not yet shifted, the castles on the island have all been built, but for the time being only Torrebol and a group of servants live there.

Now there are Abel and Baby-5 as well.

As for the head of 'Shark Arm' Yige, it won't go to waste; it can be exchanged for a bounty at the Navy branch.

After arriving on the Grand Line, Trebol continued his old ways, dealing with both the legitimate and criminal worlds, which meant he often had to deal with Marines who couldn't resist temptation.

Even some of the more confidential intelligence was obtained inadvertently from these naval personnel.

He usually maintains his relationships with women and money.

Exchanging the heads of wanted pirates for bounties is incredibly easy; at most, one only needs to pay a small 'processing fee'.

Trebol once considered turning the 'pirate hunting' business into a trade.

However, he discovered that Baroque Works was already doing this business, and after some investigation, he found that the real mastermind behind it was Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

After reporting the matter, he and Doflamingo agreed that there was no need to compete with Crocodile for such a small business, so they simply let it go.

However, no one can stop those who willingly walk into the abyss like the one we just saw.

During the meal, Trebol didn't hold back and told Abel all these things, including other information about the first half of the Grand Line.

He desperately needs someone to share his workload, otherwise he's afraid he'll die from exhaustion.

Abel was stuffing food into his mouth quickly while listening attentively to the other person's explanation of the current situation.
