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

If it weren't for Doflamingo's consistent plans for Law, people like Diamante would have thought Law was a hopeless case, completely incapable of achieving anything.

But even during this busy period, there was one person who seemed to have nothing to do all day and was very leisurely.

That's Corazon!

I don't know how this guy manages to stay in the family compound every day and never go out. Sometimes even Doflamingo has to personally intervene, but he still manages to stay put.

It can only be said that Doflamingo really took good care of his younger brother.

Then on that day, Abel was stopped by this Corazon.

"Mr. Cora, is there something you need?"

Abel, who had no immediate intention of leaving the Don Quixote family, did not want to get too close to this spy comrade, lest he be implicated later.

Corazon took out a piece of white paper that had been written on beforehand and showed it to the reader.

Abel looked closely and discovered that the message actually said that they wanted to take him and Luo out to sea to find a doctor to cure their illness, and asked if he was willing.

That's obvious, of course it is...

I don't want to!

For him, lead poisoning had become a talent. Although it seemed he didn't have many years left to live, he could buy items to extend his lifespan through the system shop.

That's why he didn't want to go to sea with them; it would be a complete waste of time and energy.

So he decisively shook his head. "It can't be cured. Rather than believing that a doctor can cure my illness, I'd rather gamble on the Devil Fruit. I'm not going."

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Tarot Card Divination

After Abel left, Corazon became very depressed.

He couldn't understand why, even though he was doing it for their own good, no one was willing to believe him.

So what should he do?

For a moment, he felt somewhat lost.

Abel quickly put his meeting with Corazon out of his mind, as Doflamingo gave him a new mission.

"I have a relatively simple task that I'm going to assign to you."

After calling Abel over, Doflamingo didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"give it to me?"

Abel was taken aback for a moment, then immediately said it was no problem.

Doflamingo nodded in satisfaction at his attitude. "Although you and Law have only been with the family for a few months, I have seen your progress in strength and your performance during this time. So I think you are already capable of handling some less difficult matters on your own."

“Abel, if you want to become a leader, you must demonstrate the ability to stand on your own.”

"Then, once you've made enough contributions to the family, you can naturally be promoted to a leadership position."

Doflamingo is at it again, making empty promises, his tone full of seduction.

Upon seeing this, Abel immediately knew that the persona he had specially created for himself had reached Doflamingo's ears.

Otherwise, the other party would never have suddenly tried to lure him with the prospect of becoming a cadre.

Greed for money, gluttony, and ambition to become a cadre...

These were all 'weaknesses' that Abel deliberately displayed!

Because the more 'weaknesses' a person has, the easier they are to control.

Abel immediately showed excitement, "Please rest assured and leave it to me, Captain Dover!"

"Fufufufufu, keep this Den Den Mushi safe. You can use it to contact me if you need to report anything in the future. This is a privilege that even Baby-5 and the others don't receive, except for the executives."

The implication is roughly: You're the person I have the highest hopes for! That's why I'm giving you exceptional treatment!

If this were an ordinary ten-year-old boy, he would probably be so excited that he couldn't sleep, and would want to perform a feat of going through fire and water on the spot.

But for Abel, he had seen this kind of routine many times in his previous life in the workplace.

Even after he became a boss himself, he often used this method to promise new employees a bright future and to motivate them!

As for why it's a new employee?

That's because they're easy to fool!

If the boss shows them even the slightest bit of care or special treatment, they'll be so excited they'd want to stay and work overtime every day without pay, trying their best to help the boss buy a new car and a house.

Only those veteran employees who have long seen through the world will remain completely unmoved, and might even find it a little funny!

What special treatment? You'll find out after a while that it's just something everyone gets to be 'different' from.

……

Two days later, Abel arrived at the island of Serses.

This is a famous entertainment destination in Beihai!

Circus performances, musicals, magic shows, various forms of divination... and much more.

It attracts a large number of tourists every day.

Abel's mission this time is to kill the black rat Sini who is hiding here.

This guy stole something from a buyer on the black market.

The buyer went straight to the Don Quixote family, offering a reward to get his things back.

The underground black market business is a very important part of the Don Quixote family's business. Anyone who causes trouble is considered to be going against them. In addition, the buyers who lose their items are very savvy and know how to get things done by paying money.

So after finding out the target's specific information and where he was hiding, the task fell to Abel.

Dealing with a slippery thief is indeed not difficult or dangerous.

The only thing to be careful about is that the people on Snake Island are a mixed bunch, and if things aren't handled properly, the target could easily escape again.

Abel didn't want his first solo mission to end in failure, as that would undoubtedly delay his appointment as an officer.

"Come and take a look, don't miss the most authentic circus performance!"

"Roar!"

A lion with an exceptionally beautiful and smooth mane, guided by the performers, nimbly leaped over one ring of fire after another, drawing cheers and applause from the surrounding audience!

Then, all sorts of animals took turns performing, some showing off their special skills, others lying on the ground and acting cute. In no time, they made a fortune from the tips given by the tourists, making the circus owner grin from ear to ear.

A crowd had gathered not far away, where someone was performing close-up magic.

The magic tricks were so amazing and incredible that the audience was thrilled and generously spent money.

But the good times didn’t last long…

"Tickets for the latest musical, 'Princess Oran and the Ten Knights,' will be on sale soon. Hurry up and come if you want to see it!"

Crash!

The people who were just gathered together watching the circus and magic shows suddenly all ran in one direction.

That was where the theater tickets were sold, and a long queue formed almost instantly.

Clearly, the musical "Princess Oran and the Ten Knights" is very popular!

The once lively circus and magic shows suddenly became deserted, leaving the audience feeling extremely embarrassed.

Abel didn't rush to find the 'black rat', but instead wandered around, taking notes of his surroundings.

Then, as he passed a stall that advertised tarot card readings, he couldn't help but take another look.

Because along the way, I've noticed that most of the people involved in this kind of divination are women—some are young and beautiful, some are charlatans, and there are also the common old women who do divination…

However, it is indeed quite rare to see a 15 or 6-year-old boy setting up such a fortune-telling stall.

Of course, it's rare, but there are no strict rules or gender discrimination in this line of work, so Abel didn't take it seriously. He just glanced at it and didn't stop walking at all.

But the next second, he was stopped by the other party.

"Would you like to take the test?"

"Are you talking to me?"

Abel stopped and carefully examined the other person.

The boy playing with the Carlo cards had flowing blond hair, six vertical lines on his forehead that stretched down to his upper eye sockets, seemingly replacing his eyebrows, and a black cross tattooed on his Adam's apple, making him look exceptionally unique.

At this moment, Abel felt that he had seen the other person's outfit somewhere before, but he did not investigate further.

"Concentrate your mind and silently think about what you want to divine."

"Then please choose any three cards from these, and I will interpret them for you."

"A boring trick."

Abel ignored the other person, but as he walked by, a gentle breeze happened to blow, turning one of the pages over.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Black Rat Sini

The tower... symbolizes destruction!

A towering tower was struck by lightning and destroyed; two people fell from the collapsing tower to the ground.

It seems that even the most arrogant humans cannot compare with the power of nature, and forcibly challenging it will only incur the wrath of the gods.

The blond boy frowned as he looked at the departing figure of the boy who was even younger than him.

His intuition told him that he seemed to be missing something.

"Hawkins, I knew you'd come to a place like this again. Come with me now, your mother will be back soon!"

A little girl with freckles on her face hurriedly pulled the blond boy away.

Of course, before leaving, the blond boy didn't forget to bring his beloved tarot cards.

As for that stall...
