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

Without the interception of the 'bomber duo', he would have had no good way to deal with the enemy in this environment full of mud and swamps.

"Fufufufufu, it's good that you didn't get carried away by victory. When facing an enemy, never overestimate your own strength."

Doflamingo was even more satisfied and immediately said, "I have already promised to keep this Devil Fruit for Law, but you performed even better in this operation, so what reward do you want?"

To be honest, Abel wanted many things, such as new deadly toxins, or Seastone weapons or Supreme Grade Swords...

However, in order to conceal his true ambitions, he chose a different answer.

"Berry! The more the better!"

This was undoubtedly an answer that surprised even Doflamingo.

He had guessed Abel's answer, but he never expected it to be something both useful and useless.

"Such a simple request, of course I can do it. But I'm curious, what's your reason for needing so many Berry?"

Abel's answer was even simpler and more direct: "I don't like owing money to others."

"Whom do you owe money to?"

"I borrowed a lot of money from Baby-5 when I was buying things recently, and I also promised to buy ice cream for Buffalo, and I still owe Mr. Piqué a few packs of cigarettes..."

"Okay, I see."

Doflamingo became increasingly speechless as he listened, and quickly interrupted Abel.

“From now on, the family will provide you with a certain amount of operational funds every month. In addition, I allow you to go inside and choose your spoils later. As long as you can fit them in, you can take as many as you want.”

Doflamingo is quite generous in this regard, or rather, he's generous with other people's money!

Anyway, the wealth in the cave was all unexpected, so even if Abel tried his best to take it, how much could he possibly get?

Not to mention that in the end the meat just rots in the same pot, so there's nothing to feel bad about.

Moreover, after learning that Abel had the flaw of 'loving money,' Doflamingo, who wanted to control him, became even more relaxed.

Even among 'family', you need to cater to each other's preferences to continuously deepen your 'relationship', right?

Doflamingo has been doing this all these years.

This made almost everyone around him devoted to him and extremely loyal!

Seeing that Baby-5 and Buffalo were also looking on with envy, he simply waved his hand and told them to go in and get a share of the spoils later.

Baby-5 and Buffalo jumped up with joy.

Soon, all the members of the Crocodile Pirates were eliminated.

Only one first mate remained, trembling with fear and not daring to utter a sound, lest he also be dealt with.

In reality, nobody paid any attention to him. Whether he lived or died was entirely up to Doflamingo's whim.

Then Abel deliberately put on an excited look and went into the cave.

At the end of the cave, there was a pile of all the gold and silver treasures that the Crocodile Pirates had plundered in the dead of night, as well as a large number of Berries.

Abel didn't stand on ceremony. He first pulled out two burlap sacks, then carefully selected valuable-looking jewelry and ornaments to put inside. These items were not only valuable, but also took up little space.

After filling the two sacks, he tried carrying them on his shoulder.

It's alright, it won't break him!

Fortunately, he trained every day carrying a 100-kilogram tortoise shell, otherwise he might not have been able to carry it.

But just as he was about to leave, he spotted several black boxes by the wall.

Should we try to make it look even more convincing?

The boxes were filled with 1,000-dollar bills, and each box contained about 10,000 bills, which is 10 million dollars, weighing over 30 kilograms.

But he no longer had hands to hold it.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Zoro...

So he gritted his teeth... he really gritted his teeth, trying to bite the handle of the box and lift it up.

Then my tooth started to hurt a little from the impact.

Damn, Zoro is truly gifted. He's been training with dumbbells in his teeth since he was a kid, and he hasn't turned into a '90-year-old lady' yet. It's a miracle!

Abel didn't want to lose two of his teeth, so he took out most of the money, leaving about ten pounds, which he easily picked up. Then he carried the two sacks of treasure on his back and walked out 'proud and arrogant'.

Everyone was stunned when they saw him like this!

Do we really need to work this hard?!

Doflamingo's lips twitched twice, and he deliberately shifted his gaze elsewhere, pretending not to see it.

"Great, this is exactly the effect I wanted!"

Abel was very satisfied with everyone's reaction; his Zoro cosplay hadn't been in vain.

Then, Baby-5 and Buffalo excitedly rushed into the cave.

For some reason, Doflamingo suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, when the two of them came out, Doflamingo only took one look and couldn't help but cover his forehead.

I shouldn't have agreed so quickly!

With Abel as a good example, Baby-5 and Buffalo naturally felt as if another door had been opened for them.

So they followed suit, carrying bulging sacks on their backs and struggling to hold money boxes in their mouths, not knowing how much money was inside.

These three guys almost completely looted the treasure inside, leaving only a small portion of the less valuable or bulky items that were difficult to carry.

Doflamingo felt his blood pressure soaring!

After finally managing to suppress it, he saw the first mate of the Crocodile Pirates standing to the side, looking sullen and hesitant.

I really wanted to shoot him!

"Now it's your turn. Go and get what you deserve."

Doflamingo said something with a forced smile.

The first mate hesitated for a moment, then tentatively took a few steps toward the cave. He then caught a glimpse of someone preparing to draw their gun out of the corner of his eye, and immediately stopped.

"Um... never mind, I... I don't want it."

"Are you sure you don't want it? I didn't force you."

"No, I really don't want it anymore!"

"I see. That's a pity."

It's unclear what he was regretting, but Doflamingo withdrew his hand with a hint of regret.

The first mate was terrified, feeling as if he had just walked through the gates of hell.

Captain Rekdu was right. Cooperating with the Don Quixote family was indeed tantamount to seeking revenge, but he had no other choice but to do so out of revenge.

Chapter 54 The Food Festival of Beihai

This mission can be described as a resounding success!

At least Abel and his group made a fortune.

Since the Donquixote Family already had channels for selling stolen goods on the black market, Baby-5 and Buffalo were simply replaced with Berries.

Then, somehow, they were tricked into spending all the money into the family's account.

They said it was unsafe for them to have so much money in their own hands, so they would 'deposit' it with the family first, and withdraw it whenever needed.

Upon hearing this, Abel immediately thought of a classic line: "Let your mother keep this money for you, and we'll give it to you when you grow up."

It's exactly like what Abel said in his previous life when his parents collected New Year's money from their children!

Of course, Doflamingo wouldn't go that far, and the money wouldn't just mysteriously 'disappear'.

Under the persuasion of the two, Abel only exchanged some of his jewelry for money and had no intention of depositing it into the family account.

Just kidding, he's already immune to these kinds of 'lucky money' scams!

He can spend his money however he wants, without needing anyone's permission.

Seeing that he had his own ideas and wouldn't be easily fooled like Baby-5 and Buffalo, Doflamingo let him be.

As for the jewelry and ornaments that hadn't been converted into cash, Abel was also planning ahead.

If he encounters another order that requires payment, he can't just give the other party Berry, which he can't spend anyway!

On the contrary, gold and silver jewelry can be exchanged for money in most parts of the world.

With the Crocodile Pirates destroyed and the Devil Fruits disappearing, the underground black market finally returned to its former 'peace'.

As a result, Abel was finally able to focus on training for a while.

Every day is filled with meals, training, and sleep; the schedule is packed and very fulfilling.

The sense of satisfaction from being able to clearly feel yourself getting stronger little by little is especially addictive!

Perhaps those fitness fanatics in my past life had this kind of mentality?

……

What rare ingredients or skilled chefs does Beihai have?

During the break, Señor was taken aback when he heard Abel's question to him.

Because he really hadn't paid attention to this aspect.

He himself is not someone who enjoys indulging in culinary desires.

At most, I've only heard some related rumors by chance.

"I think there's some kind of food festival coming up soon. It should attract a lot of great chefs, right?"

Señor was unsure.

Abel, who hadn't held out much hope, suddenly perked up and quickly asked, "When? Where?"

"How would I know... Never mind, I'll ask around for you later."
