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

Page 22

"Could you please not tell anyone about Luo stabbing Corazon?"

After Corazon left, Abel began to clean up the mess left by Lo.

“I’m needed again… um, I won’t tell you~” Baby-5 immediately covered her mouth happily.

Having successfully dealt with one, the only one left is that chubby little guy, Buffalo, since Corazon himself certainly wouldn't tell.

"Baby-5, do you know what Buffalo usually likes?"

“I know! Buffalo likes to gamble.”

"bet?"

Abel nodded thoughtfully, having discovered another weakness in Buffalo. "Anything else?"

"And if there's anything else... does liking ice cream count? Buffalo loves the deluxe ice cream at the town's dessert shop, because it costs 500 Berries a serving, so he often borrows money from me."

This is it!

Abel was planning to bribe Buffalo.

Although this guy doesn't seem very bright, he's actually not that stupid.

The reason he thought he could bribe the other party was simply because he felt that Buffalo disliked Corazon. After all, according to Baby-5, the two of them had been 'abused' by Corazon quite a bit back then.

In this situation, Buffalo, for the sake of the deluxe ice cream, would probably be willing to cover up the truth for Luo.

As long as Baby-5 and Buffalo don't talk, he and Law don't talk, and Corazon, who was stabbed, doesn't talk, then when Doflamingo returns, this matter will naturally be left unresolved.

Abel immediately flashed an incredibly sunny and handsome smile and said to the little girl, "Can you lend me some money? I really need it."

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Turtle Shell

"Don't think you can bribe Lord Buffalo like this! I will absolutely not cover up the truth for that guy!"

Seeing the chubby boy's smug look, Abel simply let Baby-5 snatch back the deluxe ice cream that was more than half a meter tall.

"It doesn't matter. Actually, I'm not that close to that guy Luo, and his life or death is none of my business."

"This ice cream looks really good. If I took a bite, I'd probably die of happiness!"

Abel immediately opened his mouth wide and slowly took a bite of the strawberry on top of the ice cream.

Buffalo felt like a million ants were crawling inside him. Finally, he couldn't help but shout, "No! That's mine!"

"So, deal?"

This time, Buffalo nodded without hesitation.

Just as Abel had guessed, Buffalo disliked Corazon at all, and when he saw Ro assassinate him, he was not only shocked but also somewhat excited.

Abel wasn't worried that the guy was lying to him, so he readily let Baby-5 return the deluxe ice cream to Buffalo.

Buffalo immediately began licking it with immense joy.

Having successfully dealt with all the witnesses, everything will return to normal once Luo is brought back to justice.

However, before heading back, Abel decided to use up the free search attempts that had just been added that day.

[Start searching for wish orders?]

Current search count: 1 (free)

……

[Searching for wish orders has begun... Search complete!] Completed.

[Get a basic prayer order]

[Order Description: An old man who calls himself 'Master Roshi' suddenly felt that life was boring and wanted to find some fun.]

[Order details: A photo album of beautiful women or something else (you know what I mean)]

[Basic Order Rewards: Customized tortoise shell, 100 trading points]

[Order time remaining: 9 minutes and 59 seconds]

……

"???"

Abel was speechless when he saw the order.

All I can say is that you truly live up to your reputation, Old B!

"You two go back first, I still need to buy some other things."

Abel was suddenly very glad that he had borrowed a full five thousand Berries from Baby-5, otherwise he would have been in real trouble.

Nine out of ten little girls are rich, and the tenth one is the richest person in the world!

The elders were right.

It's clear that Baby-5 still wants to stay with Abel, but the problem is that the things he's about to buy are really not suitable for Abel to see, otherwise his image will completely collapse.

So, with Buffalo's help, Baby-5 still left.

"Hehe, as expected, Baby-5 and I have the best relationship!"

The chubby boy kept grinning foolishly on his way back.

He didn't even notice that Baby-5 hadn't glanced at him once.

(Baby-5: Stay away from me, I'm afraid Abel will misunderstand~)

Ten minutes was a very tight timeframe, and Abel quickly ran back the way he came.

If he wasn't mistaken, he had just seen a bookstore over there, with many novels and magazines displayed outside; it should have what he needed.

A few minutes later.

Under the boss's strange gaze, he spent all the money he had on him and barely managed to buy three books.

This rubbish is ridiculously expensive, costing 1599 Berries per copy. He had to invoke the Don Quixote family name to get the price down a bit.

If Doflamingo knew that this was the first time he used the family name to do something like this, he would probably be so angry that he would kick him out!

In fact, the store also had an even more expensive limited edition, but the price was simply beyond Abel's current means, so he simply pretended not to know.

I really need to figure out how to make some money first...

Abel sighed and, carrying the photo album, turned into the alley next door.

I took a quick look and found that the girls are quite dedicated, which should be enough.

Blanching it will benefit that lecherous old man!

With little time left, Abel didn't hesitate any longer and submitted the photo album in his hand to complete the order.

[Order confirmed... Delivery in progress]

He figured it was unlikely he'd get a four-star review this time.

The subsequent system prompts confirmed this.

[The initial prayer order has been completed, and the customer gave it a three-star rating (average)!]

[Comment: Hehe~ Not bad, not bad~ Hmm? Why is it gone already? Give me more!]

[Samsung's review has been processed normally, and the basic transaction points reward has been automatically issued. Please check it yourself.]

……

At this point, Abel had accumulated 1350 trading points.

And that "custom-made turtle shell" is also quite interesting.

[Custom-made tortoise shell]

P.S.: If you don't want to get crushed, I suggest starting with light pressure and gradually increasing the pressure.

……

This thing looks like it's for training, so it should be quite effective.

The only drawback is its appearance.

The thought of likely spending his days carrying a tortoise shell around in front of Luo and Baby-5 made him feel like he was going to die.

Or... maybe I should just leave it in the package to gather dust.

Hey, wait a minute!

Abel suddenly remembered the items that had been refreshed in the shop last time. The [Defense Bracelet] (blue) was already broken, and the remaining two were still lying quietly in the shop.
