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

And so, yet another naval captain died at Abel's hands.

The spheres that were knocked away, along with Berry Goode's death, reverted to their original body parts, as if they had been cut into pieces with a knife, falling all over the deck in a very bloody manner.

“It’s pretty powerful.”

Abel stretched his arms and was fairly satisfied with the power.

Keep in mind that this is only level 1, and he hasn't even stacked up any buffs yet.

Otherwise, the physical damage from the first stage alone would be enough to blow the opponent's head off.

"Quickly tidy up, then have a few people drag someone up alive and ask them what happened before."

"Yes, Lord Abel!"

Amidst the fervent admiration of many crew members, Abel drew Onimaru and entered the cabin.

Chapter 415 The Gluttony Fruit with Great Potential

The men acted swiftly and soon pulled several surviving sailors from the sea.

Of course, for now they are just pirates posing as the Navy.

"Lord Abel, we've found out. It turns out these marines... uh, these pirates were fighting over a Devil Fruit."

"Devil Fruit?"

Upon hearing this, Abel raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where is that Devil Fruit?"

His subordinate immediately wore a strange expression. "On the pirate ship that we sank at the very beginning."

Abel remained silent.

Actually, the whole thing is quite simple: a group of people accidentally discovered a Devil Fruit.

Everyone wants to eat it and monopolize it, since there's only one Devil Fruit, and no one will be modest about it.

In the end, having no other choice, they had to find a place to sell it and then split the profits.

This is the fairest way.

But that doesn't mean everyone wants this kind of 'fairness'.

As a result, the news leaked out.

This attracted several pirate crews to attack them and try to steal their Devil Fruits.

A high-speed and thrilling chase ensued on the high seas.

Just as the battle was about to be decided, a warship 'coincidentally' appeared out of nowhere, using its fierce firepower to destroy most of the pirate ships, leaving only the group that had seized the Devil Fruit.

These people certainly didn't have the courage to fight the Navy, and with the Devil Fruit in hand, they immediately began to flee desperately.

The warships were unable to catch up immediately because they needed to navigate around the horrific battlefield littered with shipwrecks.

What happened next is self-evident.

Abel felt somewhat embarrassed about the Devil Fruit that had been offered to him but which he had personally rejected.

"Then why don't you hurry up and send someone down to search?"

Abel cleared his throat and raised his voice to cover up his embarrassment.

"Yes, I'll take men to look for them right away. By the way, what should we do with those... pirates?"

"Give them a quick death, then throw them into the sea. Be careful when you go into the water; if you find any survivors, kill them without asking for permission."

"I don't want any news about what happened today to get out, do you understand what I mean?"

The subordinate nodded quickly, indicating that he would keep quiet.

It would be incredibly frustrating to be murdered to silence someone for something like this.

I feel a little regretful when I think that I probably won't be able to brag about today's experience to others in the future.

But compared to losing my life, so be it.

The people on the ship immediately sprang into action; some cleared the deck, while others jumped into the sea like dumplings being dropped into boiling water to search.

However, the probability of finding it is very low, almost nonexistent.

Putting aside the question of whether it will be carried away by the waves, you've all heard the story of "marking the boat to find the sword," right?

It's even possible that it could be eaten by a passing big fish.

Fortunately, some debris was still floating on the sea, which indicated the approximate location.

However, an hour passed and nothing was found.

Several survivors were discovered, and no matter how much they begged for mercy, they were all sent directly to the bottom of the sea.

Abel grew impatient and went back to his room, where he summoned Big White.

As an inflatable robot that has undergone countless iterations, underwater functionality is no longer an issue for Baymax.

It can withstand an astonishing amount of water pressure, and it doesn't even need to breathe.

So he first used the Magician's Deceptive Illusion to give Baymax a new look, making him appear similar to the other pirate minions, before letting Baymax secretly go into the water.

Unlike the others, Big White, which dived underwater, didn't wander around aimlessly like a headless fly.

He first used his mechanical eye to scan the entire environment in front of him into his chip, and then calculated the location of the ship that was destroyed at the beginning, as well as the direction and speed of the water flow, and other data.

Finally, the search scope was fixed within a very small 'circle'.

Then they quickly dived into the seabed.

Then, two mechanical eyes lit up with white light like searchlights and began scanning everything around them.

"No items resembling Devil Fruits were found. Scanning will now proceed to scan containers that may contain such items. Scan successful."

Big White stepped forward and pulled up a corpse. A small square box immediately fell out from the corpse's clothes.

Big White opened the box, looked inside, immediately closed it again, and then quickly rose towards the surface of the sea.

When Abel saw the purple fruit in the box that looked like a mouth biting together, he was startled again.

He has now memorized almost all the appearances of the fruits in the Devil Fruit encyclopedia.

If he remembered correctly, this Devil Fruit should be the Paramecia-type Gluttony Fruit.

That is, the Devil Fruit that Wapol, the king of the Drum Kingdom, ate in the original work.

The ability is very interesting; it allows the user to eat anything and turn it into part of their body, or to synthesize new things.

You can also eat your own body to change your body shape and skeletal structure, such as making yourself thinner.

As it is further developed, it can even acquire the corresponding abilities by consuming other Devil Fruit users!

Overall, Abel considered the Gluttony Fruit to be a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit with enormous potential.

Giving it to that good-for-nothing Wapol was a complete waste.

If Abel hadn't already possessed the Wish System, his cheat ability, he might very well have chosen the Gluttony Fruit as a crucial step in his rise to power.

As for now, it's better than nothing.

At least so far, none of the Devil Fruit abilities he desires are named after the Gluttony Fruit.

"It's a bit of a shame..."

He first carefully stored the Devil Fruit away, then had the people outside continue searching for it for another half hour before 'regretfully' asking everyone to stop and prepare to leave.

That way, even if someone accidentally lets it slip, no one will know that he was the one who took the Devil Fruit.

On their way out, they passed by Drum Island.

If no one had intervened and caused the butterfly effect, the Swallow Fruit might have been found by Wapol on the island a few years later in some other way.

But now, that guy probably won't have that chance anymore.

"Should we go take a look at Chopper?"

Abel rubbed his chin and decided to forget about it.

At this point in time, Chopper is still a baby reindeer, so even if they met, they wouldn't be able to communicate.

As for the Human-Human Fruit on the island in its human form... there's really no need to search for it extensively, since whether it even exists now is debatable.

You can earn trading points slowly. Stealing Chopper's fruit? Is that even human?

Even with Abel's thick skin, he wouldn't do such a thing.

However, he did have some ideas on how to use that Gluttony Fruit.

Chapter 416 The Most Suitable Person

Several days later, on a deserted island in the first half of the Grand Line.

Abel waited there all by himself.

Yes, and Baymax too.

Since the arrival of Baymax, some more private matters can be carried out discreetly from the air, without having to travel by boat.

There was a reason why he was waiting here.

As the agreed time was fast approaching, a uniquely shaped snail-shaped boat was rapidly approaching from the distant sea.

That's right, Abel was waiting for Germa's men.

Soon, the snail boat docked, and Vinsmoke Judge stepped out first, followed by his daughter Reiju.

"Boss, we're here."

"Well, let's go in and talk."

Greeted by the two men, Abel unceremoniously bypassed Judge and was the first to step into the snail boat.

Clearly, Judge was someone he had specifically called over.
