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

Sometimes, courage alone cannot change the outcome.

A few minutes later, when Doflamingo returned with his men, all three captains were lying in pools of blood, and all the attacking pirates were either dead or had jumped into the sea.

If it weren't for needing these 'living people' to help them spread the word about the outcome of this battle and promote the fame of the Don Quixote family, even jumping into the sea would have meant certain death!

"Fufufufufu, is this all you're relying on?"

Amidst Dover's unrestrained and arrogant laughter, Mephittis's face turned ashen.

"It seems this farce is over. How disappointing."

Mephitius suddenly widened his eyes and let out a whimper, as if he wanted to beg for mercy, but the next moment his neck was severed by a sharp thread, and he died with his eyes wide open.

"Dover, these guys must have planned this all along. They planted all the loot and supplies on the nearby island beforehand, and then set a trap here to wipe us out. Ha, a bunch of idiots!"

Before killing these men, Diamanti also managed to extract information about the whereabouts of the smuggled ship that had been stolen earlier.

Doflamingo laughed as well, "These idiots deliberately lured us to the manor in the mountains, and then planted a lot of explosives inside, trying to blow us all up. Luckily, Serka discovered it in advance, and then followed the secret passage inside, finally catching the guy who wanted to detonate the explosives remotely."

Although he said it was "luck," the strong confidence emanating from Doflamingo was actually telling everyone: in the face of overwhelming strength, any conspiracy or trickery is just a futile death!

At this moment, before meeting Kaido, Doflamingo was indeed in high spirits.

"Have someone collect all the explosives on the mountain, and let's go check out the small island next door."

Explosives are a hot commodity on the black market, easily fetching a good price, so of course they can't be wasted.

Then Doflamingo and his group boarded a ship and headed to a nearby island.

Abel had a sudden thought: he might be able to get a good review for this "wish order".

Right after the battle at the manor ended, he felt the timing was good and he could move freely immediately, so he used up his free search attempts.

Then we received this order.

[Order Description: Gintoki from Yorozuya urgently needs a large sum of money to pay off his debts.]

[Order contents: Large sums of money or gold and silver jewelry]

[Basic Order Reward: Wooden Sword from Lake Toya, 100 Trading Points]

[Order remaining time: 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds]

……

He wasn't in a hurry because he had plenty of time.

Now, he is clearly eyeing the assets left behind by these pirate crews.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Naval Attack

Tear!

On the ship, Señor crumpled the empty cigarette pack into a ball and threw it into the sea.

Just as I was feeling down, I suddenly heard a voice from the side.

"Want to try one of mine?"

Señor paused for a moment, then looked down and realized it was the brat he had brought with him to the family.

He subconsciously took the cigarette Abel offered him, and then stared blankly as the other man, like a seasoned smoker, skillfully lit one for himself and began to puff away.

"What's wrong? Didn't bring a lighter? Here, take it, remember to return it to me later. I can give you any cigarettes, no matter how expensive, but I absolutely cannot give away a lighter."

Abel's gaze was firm; this was a matter of principle!

"Children should not smoke like adults."

呲!

Señor withdrew his gaze, his eyes glazed as he savored the novel sensation.

"What brand is this? I've never seen it before."

"N95, a small brand, it's normal that you haven't seen it before, because this cigarette is probably discontinued and will be hard to buy in the future."

Señor nodded with a slight hint of regret. "That is indeed a pity."

The two of them leaned against the side of the ship, enjoying the sea breeze.

After a short while, Señor suddenly spoke up: "You have a great talent for swordsmanship, that flying slash... is very strong."

"It's alright, you'll get the hang of it with practice. I guess that's what genius is all about."

Señor: "..."

"By the way, this is for you."

After finishing his cigarette, Abel tossed the other man an unopened pack of N95 filter cigarettes as he left.

Señor caught it hastily, somewhat puzzled, "Huh?"

Consider this a thank you for believing me back then. Smoke it sparingly, I don't have much left.

Señor stood there, holding a pack of cigarettes, stunned, until the boat slowly approached the shore, at which point he finally revealed a handsome smile.

"An interesting lad, acting like a real man!"

Upon reaching the neighboring island, the three smuggled ships that had been robbed were the first to be discovered, but all the supplies on board had disappeared.

"Search!"

Doflamingo immediately gave the order, and everyone began to scatter and search the entire island.

It sounds like it might not be easy, but in reality, there are only a few places where you could possibly hide so many things.

Abel was a little troubled; it would be difficult to intercept the deal ahead of time now.

So he headed toward the center of the island, pulling out a rather useless reward he had recently received.

Miniature radar made of precious metals

Equipment items

Description: A tomb raider modified a strange radar, but unfortunately, his skill level was not up to par, resulting in a greatly reduced detection range.

Effect: When activated, it can detect common types of precious metals. The detection radius is 100 meters, and the detection effect is weakened when there are obstructions.

……

This thing looks exactly like the Dragon Radar from Dragon Ball.

With nothing to lose, Abel took out this thing, ready to try his luck.

Then he discovered that the island was not an uninhabited island; there were quite a few residents on it.

Every household kept their doors tightly shut, only daring to peek through the cracks in the windows to observe these uninvited guests.

They must have been harassed by those pirates quite a bit before.

Unfortunately, instead of the navy, the people here were met with the Donquixote Family, who were even more ruthless and brutal than the pirates before them.

The good news is that Diamanti and his gang don't bother with these ordinary people; they can't squeeze any profit out of them and it's just a waste of time.

Of course, if Doflamingo is in a bad mood, he might as well massacre an entire island.

Then, a short while later, Baby-5 found Abel aboard the Fat Boy.

“Abel, the young master and the others have found the hidden supplies in the abandoned church ahead.”

"okay, I get it."

Abel sighed; as expected, the detection range was still too short.

"Is taking risks the only option?"

He had arrived at the abandoned church before he had made a decision.

At this moment, Doflamingo and some of his officers were directing the others to move supplies, while the others seemed to have already returned to the ship.

Oh, right, there are dozens of corpses on the ground; they must have been people left behind to guard these supplies.

"Dover, I just took inventory, and all the supplies we were robbed are here. Besides that, there are some other miscellaneous things, probably left behind by those pirate crews."

"Well, now that we've counted everything, let's get it loaded onto the ship as soon as possible. I don't know why, but I suddenly have a bad feeling."

Doflamingo suddenly looked towards the sea.

Although everything was calm at the moment, he always had a sense of impending crisis.

“Abel, you stay here and watch them finish their work. We’ll go back first.”

Abel nodded; this suited him perfectly!

Just now, when he entered the abandoned church, the radar, which had been unresponsive, suddenly lit up.

He initially thought it was caused by some supplies piled up here, but after looking closely, he discovered that in addition to the things on the outside, there were some points of light actually under the supplies at the very back!

If he wasn't mistaken, it was very likely that someone had secretly hidden it.

The purpose of doing so remains unknown.

Abel really wanted to open the lid and take a look, but there were still many people moving supplies, so he had to force himself to calm down.

But eventually all the stuff will be moved.

After the last box of supplies was taken away, Abel immediately pried open the stone slab in the corner, revealing the gold and silver treasures buried underneath!

He didn't know whether these things were valuable or how much they were worth.

If we take them back, most of them will definitely have to be handed over.

So he gritted his teeth and decided to use all of them to complete the order!

Just as he was scanning and uploading, a series of cannon shots suddenly came from the distant sea!

a few minutes ago.

"It's those persistent navy ghosts again!"

Doflamingo said through gritted teeth.

Not far away on the sea, three warships were rapidly advancing in a triangular formation.
