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

Moreover, they can portray themselves as 'victims' and, in conjunction with the outcome of the war, bring their prestige to its peak!

"Hey, Morgans, I have some really big, shocking news in my hands. It's up to you whether you dare to report it."

Abel took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed the number.

Chapter 830 Morgans requests to go into battle!

Morgans, hiding on an island, had an unpredictable expression after hanging up the Den Den Mushi.

Because his reporting caused the Navy and the World Government to lose face, he was also blacklisted by the Navy and the World Government.

Many people want him dead.

So, left with no other option, he had to hide and control the situation remotely.

Even with such a major event as the war between the Dragon Hunter Guild and the Big Mom Pirates, he didn't dare to get close to the battlefield to gather firsthand information like he did last time.

What I fear most is that if my whereabouts are exposed, my life will be in real danger.

He had already made up his mind to disappear for two years, wait for things to pass and for everyone to forget about him, and then make a comeback.

Unfortunately, a phone call from Abel put him in a dilemma.

He initially thought that the "super big news" Abel was referring to was the Dragon Hunter Guild's defeat of the Big Mom Pirates.

After all, the outcome of a war between the Four Emperors would definitely be considered a major world news story.

But in fact, he had already done something similar to make headlines before, like the time with the Dragon Hunter Guild and the Beast Pirates.

So even though he was very tempted, Morgans still wasn't planning to come out of retirement.

Even after hearing of Big Mom's death, it was still the same.

At most... we'll just publish a few more newspaper issues on this topic.

Making money isn't shameful.

However, when he heard that Abel had defeated Big Mom, another of the Four Emperors, and then fought two Marine Admirals, Akainu and Kizaru, single-handedly holding his own and driving the Marines away, he was deeply moved.

Morgans' attitude began to waver.

Just then, Abel finally unleashed his trump card in one go.

They said he killed one of the Five Elders and even obtained evidence that the World Government and Big Mom were colluding!

Morgans was completely stunned and even wondered if the other person had gone mad and started talking nonsense.

One of the Five Elders died??

This is absolutely insane!

And there's even evidence of collusion between the World Government and Big Mom?!

Okay, that's enough.

Big news—Morgans requests to play!

He would regret it for the rest of his life if he couldn't personally participate in such a big news event.

Besides, Abel also guaranteed that his personal safety would be absolutely guaranteed.

What are you waiting for?!

Damn the world government!

Even if the world government hates him to the bone after this news, he can't care anymore.

And so, Morgans joined the group.

……

"Although I really want to spar with you again, it's probably not possible right now."

"Because I need to stay in good shape to deal with whatever might happen next."

"You know, this time I killed one of the Five Elders, who was a Celestial Dragon, so I will definitely not let this go."

Although Abel really wanted to accept Mihawk's invitation, he had no choice but to refuse when he thought about the trouble he would cause.

After all, to fight a great swordsman like Mihawk, one would definitely need to use all their strength to have a truly satisfying experience.

But that would give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

He must be able to clearly distinguish between what is important and what is not.

Hawkeye, who came to his door, understood his predicament, so after Abel refused, he shook his head with some regret, "You were too impulsive. The Five Elders are not as simple as they seem."

Abel suddenly remembered that one of the Five Elders was a bald man who used a sword, and the sword he used was suspected to be the "First Generation Kitetsu," one of the "Twelve Supreme Grade Swords."

Given Mihawk's tendency to challenge people everywhere, could the two have actually fought each other?

He asked the question seemingly casually, but Mihawk didn't say anything, looking rather enigmatic.

"I'm leaving. You have my life card. Come find me whenever you're ready."

Mihawk arrived suddenly and left just as quickly.

During the retreat, he, Kuma, and Hancock all left with the Navy on a submarine.

There were warships waiting to meet them in another area of the sea.

Mihawk, unwilling to waste any more time, simply asked for a small boat and left alone.

In reality, he was going back to find Abel.

On the battlefield, he was a Shichibukai, and his side was with the Navy, so it was inconvenient for him to reminisce with Abel.

But now that the mission is over, he can naturally return to find Abel in a private capacity.

No one could find fault with it.

His reason for seeking out Abel was simple: he wanted to ask Abel when they would rekindle their interrupted duel from years ago.

He had been looking forward to it for a long time.

At that time, he also left his life card for Abel.

But to my surprise, all these years have passed, and Abel has become one of the Four Emperors, yet he hasn't thought of coming to find him.

Having no other choice, he had to go to their door.

And still not getting the answer they wanted, they could only continue to wait.

If it were anyone else, Mihawk would definitely not have tolerated it.

However, after Shanks lost his arm, he couldn't find anyone to spar with, and he was bored to death every day.

However, Abel's earth-shattering strike today reignited his passion.

Therefore, he was willing to give Abel some more time to deal with other matters.

Otherwise, fighting with other things on his mind, which would restrict his actions, is not what he wants.

After seeing Mihawk off, Abel was finally able to rest for a while.

The continuous battles were taking their toll, even on him.

Just then, Robin knocked on the door and came in, carrying a tray in his hand and a cart behind him.

It was covered with high-calorie foods, as well as steaming hot black tea and fruit.

"I bet you're hungry, tired, and sleepy right now, so eat something first, then get a good night's sleep. Leave the rest to me."

For some reason, Abel found Robin's smile incredibly touching at that moment.

Perhaps it's just a small, insignificant act of care, but it's enough to warm his heart.

"Thank you."

Abel thanked him politely and then began to eat continuously.

His body certainly craved these things.

I was just too busy to notice, so I overlooked it.

Robin stayed by his side quietly, only helping him remove empty plates and put on new food when needed, and bringing him a glass of water when he choked.

It has a subtle, pervasive quality, like a gentle rain nourishing the earth.

Abel felt this was the most comfortable meal he had eaten in a long time.

After finishing his meal, Abel did some light exercise to help digest his food, and then, at Robin's suggestion, went to bed.

"how about you?"

"I live right next door. Just call me if you need anything."

Robin had only been lying down to read for a short while when she heard someone walk in and hug her from behind, making her freeze.

"I'm used to hugging a pillow when I sleep, is that okay, Robin?"

Robin, who was about to take action, softened upon hearing Abel's weary voice.

Remaining silent signifies acquiescence.

After lying there for a while, Abel finally fell into a deep sleep and began to snore softly.

This also helped the tense Robin relax.

Her face flushed with embarrassment, but there was also a hint of disappointment.
