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

It can only be attributed to first impressions. After all, some people can quickly become close friends after just one meeting, while others can be extremely disliked after just one glance.

Perhaps the other person is exactly the kind of person you hate the most.

After convincing himself with this reason, Teach put down the newspaper and prepared to eat his favorite cherry pie.

Clearly, Teach wasn't thinking about the Dark-Dark Fruit at all, and was unaware that the Dark-Dark Fruit he so desperately wanted had already been snatched away by someone else.

And the person who snatched the deal ahead of time was the young man he had just seen in the newspaper.

If Teach had known beforehand, she would have understood why she had those emotions just now.

Chapter 634 The Crane's Prophecy Comes True!

Naval Headquarters, Marinevandor.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku was reviewing documents in his office, casually handing some scraps of paper to the goat next to him to eat.

He stopped writing and rubbed his temples after encountering a tricky problem.

The document submitted above concerns the proposed change to the bounty on Gustavus Abel.

The strategists ultimately set the bounty at 15 billion Berries!

The reference conditions are also very simple. First of all, Jack the Drought's bounty is currently 680 million Berries.

Defeating and beheading him twice means that Abel's original bounty of 50 million was far too low; it should have been at least higher than Jack's.

Furthermore, there's the matter of Abel 'defeating' Kaido of the Beasts.

The navy has sent people to investigate and has uncovered part of the truth about the battle.

Finally, it can be confirmed that Abel did indeed pierce Kaido's body with his long sword in a one-on-one battle and knock him into the sea!

Although Kaido did not die, he was seriously injured.

If that stab had struck his heart precisely, then it would mean...

The Warring States period sighed regretfully.

Now that Kaido, the Navy's biggest threat, is still alive, another very troublesome guy has emerged, which is really giving us a headache.

Kaido's current bounty is 3,541 million Berries.

However, this does not mean that Abel's bounty could suddenly soar to over 30 billion.

The amount of the bounty reflects not only strength, but also the degree of ruthlessness and evil deeds committed.

As for the latter two, Abel was far inferior to these predecessors.

At least in the Navy's records, the bad things he did were child's play.

When I punch a Celestial Dragon and wreak havoc on the World Government or Marine Headquarters, my bounty will probably increase by another billion!

Therefore, considering various factors, the advisors ultimately recommended 15 billion Berries.

The increase from 5 million to 15 billion is extremely rare, even on the entire ocean.

Of course, the final decision-making power still rested with the Warring States period.

"Gustavus Abel... Where have I heard that name before?"

Instead of signing immediately, Sengoku carefully reviewed the detailed information about Abel that his advisors had compiled and submitted.

As the world's largest official law enforcement agency known for its use of force, no one can escape its reach if there is any evidence to support its claims.

Just like Ace in the original work, so many years have passed, and Ace had only just made a name for himself when he was targeted. Then, somehow, they found out that Ace was the son of the Pirate King Roger.

This ability is indeed very impressive.

Similarly, Abel's information was also investigated and compiled in great detail, even more so than that in the newspapers.

This includes Abel's background and his publicly expressed aversion and hatred towards the navy.

"White Town... I remember now!"

These materials immediately awakened long-dormant memories of the Warring States period, and someone was immediately summoned.

"Marshal, you wanted to see me?"

"Oh, it's Rosinandi. Come and take a look at this information."

The newcomer was none other than Don Quixote Rosinante, who had 'come back to life' and remained at Marine Headquarters!

Oh, his previous name was Corazon. He was an undercover agent in the Donquixote Family, which was founded by his brother Doflamingo, and his code name was Heart!

Rosinandi took the document with a puzzled look in his hand, and the more he read, the wider his mouth opened became.

"Oh my god... that brat Abel, he's gotten so strong already?"

"I only remembered after looking at the information that this Abel should be the one who carried Doflamingo and saved you back then."

Only a very few people knew about this. Lieutenant General Tsuru knew, and Sengoku had naturally heard Rosinante tell him about it, but he had forgotten about it after so long.

“That’s right, if there’s no other person with the same name in the Don Quixote family, it must be him!”

Rosinante said firmly.

Then Sengoku stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Do you think it's possible for this person to abandon the darkness and join us?"

"Huh? What? Join us? The Navy?"

"Why, can't it?"

Rosinandi gave a wry smile and said, "I'm afraid it really won't work. This child, like Rosinandi, crawled out of that hellish White Town."

"Because I didn't have many years left to live, and in order to take revenge on the world, I resolutely chose to join the Don Quixote family. I tried many ways but failed to drive them away."

“When it comes to dealing with the navy, Abel is always the first to charge in. It won’t be an easy task to dispel his prejudice and hatred towards the navy.”

Although Rosinante's answer was tactful enough, Sengoku could still hear the dissatisfaction in his tone when he adopted his son.

Clearly, the navy turned a blind eye to the destruction of White Town, standing on the dishonorable side.

Therefore, it is only natural that he is hated by the survivors who came from there.

"Ah, what a pity. By the way, I remember you said that Abel also had the Amber Lead Disease like Law, right? Law was sent away after eating the Op-Op Fruit, but what about Abel?"

Zhan Guo suddenly noticed a blind spot and asked.

However, Rosinandi clearly didn't know the details either. "I don't know about that. Perhaps they've found a treatment?"

"Is it possible that Law secretly used the power of the Op-Op Fruit to cure his illness?"

Rosinandi immediately said seriously, "That's possible, but not certain. After all, we haven't been able to track Rosinandi's whereabouts over the years."

Sengoku nodded. "What do you think about Abel leaving the Donquixote Family and fighting Kaido of the Beasts?"

Rosinandi thought for a moment, then said, "It sounds shocking at first, but upon closer inspection, it doesn't surprise me."

Which matter are you referring to?

"All!"

Rosinante added, "I always thought Abel had been brainwashed by Doflamingo and become a loyal member of the family. But ever since he saved me that day, I've known that he's different from the rest of the Donquixote Family! So I wasn't surprised to hear that he left the Donquixote Family."

"Furthermore, Abel's talent is truly terrifying. He has only been learning swordsmanship for less than a month, yet he has already mastered the Flying Slash on his own. He studies everything he wants to learn, as if nothing can stump him."

"By the way, Vice Admiral Tsuru once said that if Abel hadn't been terminally ill, she would have preferred to let Doflamingo go and instead capture him and bring him back to the Navy to be slowly trained, so that another terrifying monster who might be hostile to the Navy would not appear on the high seas in the future..."

At this point, Rosinandi and Sengoku suddenly froze.

It seems that what the crane said back then has now come true.

A monster that fears no Kaido is about to emerge!

Chapter 635 Bounty!

1.55 billion Berries!

When this latest arrest warrant was carried across the ocean by newsbirds along with newspapers, it completely ignited the emotions of countless people!

Many people find it hard to believe that a 16-year-old could knock Kaido, that monster, into the sea!

Although the rumor that Kaido was 'killed' was debunked not long afterward.

But the appearance of this wanted notice worth over a billion dollars also proves some things, and it's not just a baseless rumor!

It must be said that Abel set a good example for all the newcomers who were about to set sail.

It tells everyone that the fastest way to become famous on the high seas is to step on the heads of the older generation of powerful figures and forcefully declare your existence!

It also proves to everyone that no one is invincible!

Whether Abel can maintain his reputation and status depends on whether he can survive the pursuit by the Beasts Pirates.

Some people are optimistic about this result, while others think he is definitely doomed.

In short, no one believed he could turn the tables and confront them head-on.

After all, challenging an individual is completely different from challenging an entire pirate crew.

East China Sea, Shuangyue Village.

Koushirou looked at the newspaper in his hand with a smile on his face.

Meanwhile, the disciples outside, holding Abel's wanted poster, were already in an uproar.

Who would have thought that the outsider who accidentally came here and studied kendo with Master Koushirou for a while would transform into a notorious pirate with a bounty of 1.55 billion Berries, whose name resounds throughout the entire sea?!

That's 1.55 billion Berries! That's a lot of money, enough to buy their entire village.

The students, who didn't have much of a concept of money, were arguing about it endlessly. Some said the money could buy the entire village, others said it could buy the entire Goa Kingdom; in short, none of their claims were plausible.

Then, at some point, the debate shifted from what could be bought with that money to just how strong Koushirou-sensei really is!

After all, that's Koushirou-sensei, the one who 'trained' the greatest pirate!

Koushirou: "I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

"Damn it, has that guy gotten this strong already?"
