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

Page 599

Abel also wanted to place one of his own people within the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The last one was Enel, and this time it's Tesoro's turn.

In addition, there were Jinbe and Hancock, who were on good terms with him, as well as Mihawk, whom he had met once and had a good impression of.

It's equivalent to four out of the Seven Warlords of the Sea being biased towards him!

If a real fight breaks out, it's uncertain who these Seven Warlords will side with.

On this day, Abel was exercising.

He tossed a huge warship around like it was an ordinary toy.

There was no other way; it wasn't that he wanted to be the center of attention, but at his level, ordinary weight training was meaningless.

We can only use warships as training targets to maintain our condition.

In the Navy, Garp often plays like this with Aokiji.

Of course, since Aokiji had already been turned into a toy by Sugar and locked up.

Therefore, all memories of Aokiji have been erased.

As a result, of the original three admirals, only two remain, and no one seems to think there's a problem.

There were only two originally!

This ability is terrifying; even powerful figures like Sengoku and Garp would be affected.

"Chairman, the Vivre Card of Zou that you ordered to be found has been located and retrieved."

Zou is the name of an island, but this island is amazing because it can 'move' and sits on the back of a super-giant elephant.

Therefore, relying on the log pointer is useless if you want to reach Zou, because it is constantly moving.

To get there, you have to use a life card that points to that location.

boom!

Abel casually placed the warship on the ground beside him, then put away the small life card that the visitor had respectfully presented.

Because it only needs one more behemoth template, the talent [Beast Power] can evolve it.

So after much deliberation, Abel decided to go and cause trouble for Elephant.

After all, if Zunesha isn't considered a giant beast, then he really doesn't know what would qualify as a giant beast. Does it have to be bigger than a planet?

Moreover, while it's said to be causing trouble, it's not actually that bad.

He doesn't need to kill the elephant; he only needs to obtain some hair or skin tissue to input into the template.

Of course, before he goes to find Zunesha, he also has to meet Doflamingo.

The reason was that Doflamingo sent him a message saying he wanted to meet him.

Upon hearing this, Abel immediately felt wide awake.

After defeating Kaido, he wanted to go to Doflamingo and show off, to see what kind of expression the 'young master whom everyone admires' would have.

But on second thought, this kind of smug, petty attitude is really quite low.

In addition, a lot of things happened afterward, so he put them out of his mind.

In any case, given his current status, he no longer needs Doflamingo's approval.

Even the members of the Don Quixote family have largely given up their efforts and voluntarily stayed behind to become part of the Dragon Hunter Guild.

It should be noted that Abel never restricted their personal freedom.

But even now, not a single person has chosen to leave.

Isn’t this enough to illustrate the point?

Abel guessed that Doflamingo probably knew he couldn't count on these guys, which was why he sent someone to tell him.

……

After the ship docked, Abel went to see Doflamingo alone, without anyone else in tow.

He knows the other person too well.

If there were outsiders present at this moment, given Doflamingo's personality, he would absolutely not utter a single word of the truth or what was in his heart.

Especially those who 'betrayed' him, like baby-5.

So Abel simply didn't bring anyone, only a bottle of red wine, since it wouldn't look good to come empty-handed.

"Dover, I'm relieved to see you're enjoying yourself so much here."

Not long after Abel entered the manor, he saw Doflamingo lying on a sun lounger, wearing sunglasses and sunbathing.

Goodness, he looks like he's living a more comfortable life than anyone else.

We were having afternoon tea, and there was a fruit platter on the table.

Aside from the lack of freedom, Abel truly treated Doflamingo well in every way.

And Abel wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Doflamingo seemed a bit... fatter.

Seeing that Doflamingo didn't speak or pay attention to him, Abel didn't mind. He had a chair brought over, sat down next to Doflamingo, and placed the red wine he had brought on the table.

"This is the loot I found in Kaido's lair after I defeated Kaido and crushed the Beasts Pirates. I remembered you like red wine, so I brought it to you. Don't be shy."

Key words extracted: Kaido, Beasts Pirates, spoils of war.

Abel's act was incredibly smooth; he used a bottle of alcohol to completely crush Doflamingo.

It's important to know that Kaido was Doflamingo's nemesis and the real culprit who led him to this state.

It's also a nightmare I'm afraid to face every night after falling asleep!

Doflamingo could no longer pretend to be dead, so he stood up and said, "I saw it in the newspaper. You not only defeated Kaido, but also became one of the Four Emperors. How glorious!"

Because of the sunglasses, Doflamingo's eyes couldn't be seen.

So for a moment, Abel wasn't sure whether the guy was praising him or deliberately being sarcastic.

"It's alright. I've said it before, I'm more suitable for this position than you. How much time has passed? Time has proven everything."

Doflamingo's forehead and temples bulged with veins, and he almost crushed the teacup in his hand.

Surprisingly, he held back and calmly asked, "Are my family members alright?"

“Very well, I can give them everything you can, and many times more. What you can’t give them, I can give them too. So they’ve all forgotten that they were once a member of the Don Quixote family.”

Abel thought Doflamingo would be furious after hearing this.

But as it turned out, he underestimated the other party's cunning.

Or perhaps Doflamingo had already foreseen this.

"That's good, then I won't have let them down."

"So how long are you planning to keep me under house arrest here? You've already gotten what you wanted, and the Don Quixote family has completely disappeared. I no longer pose any threat to you."

Yes, the newspapers during this period really provoked Doflamingo, and made him realize the gap between himself and Abel.

Although it's hard to admit, it's a fact, and it's there for all to see; it's not something he can change just by denying it.

So after calming down, Doflamingo suddenly realized that the opportunity to regain his freedom was right in front of him.

Chapter 734 Elephant Lord!

Why did Abel effectively imprison him here, neither killing him nor letting him go?

The former did not want to be branded as 'ungrateful'.

The latter, of course, was to remove the last obstacle to receiving the Don Quixote family's resources.

That's why Doflamingo asked the question he just asked.

Since you've taken away all the resources and channels of the Don Quixote family, what's the point of imprisoning me?

This is what Doflamingo really meant.

"Dover, have you ever heard of the idiom 'releasing a tiger back to the mountain'?"

"Although I have always emphasized that I am more suitable for this position than you, I have never looked down on you for a single moment."

“Even before you bowed down to Kaido, I believed you could become the one and only king.”

"In the end, you chose this path yourself, and you also helped me make the choice."

"So, to thank you for everything you've done for me, I built this place for you. I can fulfill all your material needs. But I will never give you another chance to rise again, nor will I let you become an obstacle to my ascent to the throne."

"Give up, Dover. I'll come back to see you often when I have time."

"And when I sit on that throne, I will be the first to share this joy with you."

The more sincere Abel's words were, the uglier Doflamingo's expression became.

"Get out! Take your wine with you!"

Clap!

With his hopes dashed, Doflamingo, finally breaking down, threw the bottle of red wine that Abel had brought at his feet.

Red liquid splattered everywhere.

Abel glanced at his shoes but remained unmoved.

If he is still indecisive and unable to make a decision at this point, and lets Doflamingo go, then he is not worthy of having such great ambitions!

So emotional appeals and the like won't work on him.

"It's okay if you don't like it. I have a lot of good wine in my collection. I'll have someone bring it over for you next time."

After straightening his clothes, Abel said this and turned to leave.
