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

Faced with the other party's threat, Abel remained unmoved. "Heh, don't say such scary things. From what I understand, although you are the most elite assassination team in the 'Passion' organization, you don't seem to be trusted or valued by your boss."

"Nonsense! If this is all you have to say before you die, then you might as well go die."

"You must be the head of this assassination squad? Stop with the pointless probing, or are you so afraid of your boss whose true identity no one knows? I came here specifically to recruit a bunch of cowardly bastards."

Abel's mockery ignited anger in the others; if their leader, Risotto Nero, hadn't remained silent, they would have already killed him.

At this moment, Risotto, with his gray hair and eyebrows and wearing a black hat, seemed to finally realize that the other party was not someone sent by the boss to test them, and asked, "Now I'm starting to believe that you are the godfather of Camorra, so what exactly is the purpose of your visit today? To recruit us? Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

Abel did laugh, but it was a mocking laugh. "Recruit? Perhaps I did have that thought before I came. But now, after seeing you all, I've changed my mind."

"You are facing death without realizing it, and you have only one chance to live right in front of you but you don't know how to seize it. No wonder Diablo never trusted you. Now I think I know why."

"Wish ya'll good luck."

Abel stubbed out his cigarette on the table and then got up to leave.

But his words deeply stung the people in the room.

"Come when you want and leave when you want?"

The hot-tempered and easily angered Gachu could no longer hold back and attacked.

His Stand, "White Album," manifests as an outer armor formed from condensed air, capable of stopping bullets. He also has ice skates on his feet for rapid gliding.

When his stand-in appeared, the temperature around him instantly dropped, and even the air froze.

But this ice-type ability is completely useless against Abel!

Abel was not affected at all. He casually punched and shattered the ice armor on Gachu's body. While Gachu was bending over to vomit, Abel reached out and grabbed Gachu's head, lifting him into the air.

Click, click...

With just a slight exertion, the helmet on Gachu's head shattered instantly.

Just as Gachu's head was about to be crushed, the others finally snapped out of their shock and shouted as they tried to save him.

However, all their attacks failed to hit the target and were deflected by the invisible wall of air!

That was actually Abel's outward display of domineering power!

After several experiments, he has figured out some of the patterns.

That is, when Armament Haki only protects the surface, it cannot completely prevent other Stand users' abilities from taking effect.

However, if you use the Ryuo technique to release it externally, it's like adding an isolation and protective shield outside your own body.

In this way, many Stand abilities cannot affect him.

Even Risotto's attempt to use his Stand ability to create iron objects inside Abel's body failed.

Needless to say, the rest of the people were even worse off.

"Everyone stop it!"

Upon realizing that his abilities were ineffective against his opponent, Risotto immediately stopped the conflict to prevent it from escalating further.

"I'm sorry, this is actually a misunderstanding. Can you release the person first? I promise that no one will stop you from leaving after this."

Risotto's sudden apology surprised his companions.

But a few clever guys vaguely guessed Risotto's reason for doing this, and their expressions immediately turned serious.

Bang!

Abel glanced at the thing in his hand whose eyes were practically bulging out, and casually tossed it away with disdain.

Then he took out a business card from his pocket and tossed it to Risotto.

"If you want to know Diablo's true identity, come to my manor in Camorra tomorrow. I won't wait for you if you're late."

After leaving those words behind, Abel simply walked away.

This time, however, no one dared to stop them.

The room was left with only a group of people looking at Risotto with uncertain expressions.

After Abel's figure completely disappeared, Risotto finally revealed his reason.

"My metal objects just now didn't have any effect on that guy, as if something was blocking my Stand ability."

"Since the other party knew of our existence, yet still dared to come alone, they clearly have absolute confidence in their own strength."

Chapter 676 The Boss Has a Daughter

The assassination squad led by Risotto Nero has always had an awkward position in the organization because it is not trusted or valued by its boss.

In order to change this situation, they chose to take a risk and investigate the true identity of their boss, Diablo.

As a result, Gerard and Sorbe were tortured and dismembered, and their bodies were then packaged and mailed to them.

This was undoubtedly a warning from their boss, Diablo.

Thus, the seeds of hatred were sown.

However, since Diablo still needed the assassination squad to handle the dirty and tiring work for him, he did not completely eliminate the other members as well.

Risotto and the others also became more discreet and quiet, no longer mentioning the two dead men, and dared not continue the investigation.

It seems that the relationship between the two sides has become harmonious again.

But Risotto knew very well that this peace was only false and temporary.

The boss could turn on them at any time, and they couldn't live in the boss's shadow forever.

They just need an opportunity.

They originally thought that opportunity would help them find out the boss's true colors and get rid of him.

But now, it seems a brand new opportunity has presented itself to them.

The man named Abel, who claimed to be the godfather, seemed to know Diablo's true identity.

Moreover, it seems that the initial purpose of finding them was to recruit them.

They had long since reached a consensus on betraying the organization; they had just been waiting for the right opportunity, so there was nothing to hesitate about.

The only question is whether this guy is trustworthy or not.

Furthermore, this meeting seems to have ended rather unpleasantly...

……

After struggling for a day, Risotto decided to take the business card and go see the other party first.

After all, the allure of the boss's true identity was simply too great for them.

And they are all people who can't stand being alone.

If switching jobs can bring greater benefits and status, and also allow me to take revenge on my boss Diablo, then what does it matter if I become someone else's killing tool!

Anyway, this kind of life is something they've long been used to; working for someone else doesn't matter.

All they want is fairness and to avoid being ostracized.

So when Abel saw Risotto again, he was not surprised.

"It seems you've made your decision."

Risotto took a deep breath and said, "I know what you want, but I have conditions."

"Tell me."

"I want a fair chance to compete!"

"that is it?"

"That's enough, because whether it's money, status, or power, I will earn it with my own hands. Whatever I put in, I will get back the corresponding reward!"

In Risotto's eyes, Abel seemed to see a flame called ambition burning.

If you think about what this guy went through, you'll understand. They were the ones who did all the dangerous work, assassinating one enemy and obstacle after another for the organization.

As a result, when it came time to reward those who had contributed, they were always the ones who were overlooked.

Because they do the dirty work, no one trusts them.

Important territories will absolutely not be handed over to them to manage.

Is that fair?

So Risotto and the others were all burning with determination, wanting to prove themselves.

Of course, this is also a double-edged sword.

If used properly, it can kill the enemy.

If used improperly, it will harm oneself.

But would Abel even care about these things?

Obviously not. He only considers whether these people can help him fulfill his prayer orders, nothing more.

"I agree to your conditions. Every contribution you make to the organization from now on will not be erased."

"But similarly, you must carry out my orders unconditionally. I don't want to hear any dissenting voices, do you understand?"

"Of course, this has always been our style of operation. So, regarding Diablo's true identity..."

Abel threw out a photo and said, "Trish Una, she's that man's biological daughter. Find her, and everything will be over."

A flicker of excitement flashed in Risotto's eyes. He hadn't expected that Diablo, who had been hiding so well, would have left him with such a big opening.

"Where is she? I'll take men and bring her back right away."

"That's not your mission; you have other missions."

Risotto was somewhat taken aback and puzzled. How could he possibly trust someone else to handle such an important matter?

But when he met Abel's cold eyes, he was immediately startled!

Although reluctant, he still admitted his mistake, saying, "I'm sorry, boss. I was too impatient."

"Call me Godfather."
