Even Abel couldn't help thinking of two days of pampering.
Thankfully he remembered in time that he was still a child.
So I successfully eliminated distracting thoughts and focused on training and cooking every day.
Heh, a woman or something will only affect the speed at which a man draws his sword!
"Abel, let's play hide and seek together?"
"Don't play, get out!"
Buffalo ran away whining, but after a while Baby-5 came happily.
"Abel, Abel, shall we play hide and seek?"
"No..."
"If you can find me, you won't have to pay back the money you borrowed."
Hateful!
. . . . . . .
Two days later, in a manor on Mount Quilpa.
At this time, all the members of the Skunk Pirates who provoked the Don Quixote family gathered here.
As for the original owner of this manor...
It has already been used as fertilizer and buried in the back garden.
Presumably next year the flowers there will be in full bloom very coquettishly.
"Have you checked all the traps?"
"Give me a little attention, be vigilant!"
"Calculating the time, people from the Don Quixote family should arrive in the next few days. This time is a good time for our Skunk Pirates to make a name for themselves!"
"But the boss... the opponent is the notorious Don Quixote family! Can we really win?"
One of his subordinates looked nervous and seemed a little scared.
It was so far away from the port, even if he wanted to escape by boat, he really couldn't figure out where the captain got the courage to fight against the other party, and even waited so arrogantly for the other party to come and take revenge.
Snapped!"
"Strange, I didn't even see a ship around. Could it be that those scoundrels have already run away?"
Diamanti frowned slightly.
The tall man beside him, clad in golden armor and a helmet with a cross-shaped face shield, then said, "You want to run away after offending us Don Quixotes and handing out rice grains?"
What seriously clashed with his tall and burly figure was his extremely high-pitched and sharp voice, a stark contrast.
"Puff..."
Buffalo quickly covered his mouth, still breaking into a cold sweat from Seka's death glare.
Seka hated the sound of others laughing at him.
Buffalo had nearly been beaten to death once for this transgression.
It's just that the sound was truly funny!
Abel twisted his thigh hard, trying to use the pain to resist the opponent's vocal assault, preventing himself from laughing out loud.
"Something is wrong. Everyone in the vicinity has fled. And no one is here to take advantage of the situation to ambush us? Huh?"
At this moment, Doflamingo suddenly raised his head and spotted several signal flares being launched from a distant mountain, as if they weren't afraid of revealing their position at all.
Doflamingo's temples throbbed with blue veins. This feeling of being underestimated infuriated him immensely, as if the other party didn't take him seriously at all.
"Very well, it seems our 'friends' have chosen a cemetery for themselves and are inviting us to visit."
"Young Master, beware of a trap."
Doflamingo calmed down slightly, turning his head and saying, "Torrebol, Diamanti, you two stay and guard the ship. I want to see what tricks these guys can play."
"Hey hey hey, don't worry, leave it to us, Dover..
Doflamingo was naturally quite relieved to have two top cadres remaining on board.
So, he immediately led his men towards the location where the signal flare had been fired.
There were no obstructions along the way, which further enraged Doflamingo!
"Wait a while and kill them all, without leaving a single survivor!"
"Yes, Young Master."
"Let's begin then."
They were greeted warmly from the moment they stepped onto the estate.
Countless muzzles protruded from behind every window, then unleashed a barrage of gunfire.
Pica immediately merged with the surrounding walls, assimilating them with his Shi Shi fruit ability, and then formed two massive arms to shield Doflamingo and his party behind them.
At the same time, clad in a black suit, the bohemian Signol plunged into the ground and began to dive towards the enemy.
Mahabasi instantly lost his weight, allowing himself to float into the air, preparing to execute a palm technique from the heavens.
"Go, free attack."
Baby-5 and Buffalo, finally receiving the order, were not to be outdone.
They showcased their combo skills, taking to the air simultaneously and launching a ferocious counter-offensive.
Abel was in no hurry to make a move. It wasn't the right time yet, and he had no interest in engaging in a gunfight.
"Boom boom, the thousand-ton destruction, Bais!"
Soon, Mahabasi, floating to the roof of the manor, positioned the special reinforced shield beneath his stomach, then abruptly increased his weight to a thousand tons and began to free-fall!
What is the effect of dropping a thousand tons of something from the sky?
The pirates hiding inside thought the building was about to collapse, and the entire structure was directly crushed by Mahabasi!
An unknown number of unfortunate individuals were affected and howled in agony.
Simultaneously, Senior Pink was also in position, jumping back to the ground, a cigarette dangling from his lips and a gun in hand, commencing his own barrage.
Furthermore, Baby-5, having secured air supremacy outside, was continuously firing shells into the fray, causing the Skunk Pirates' initially dense firepower network to falter.
Witnessing this, Doflamingo gestured to the side.
Gladius, understanding, stepped out from behind Seka's protection, swiftly approached the door, and placed his right hand on it.
"Burst!"
Boom!
The gate, originally barricaded with a plethora of debris, was blown to smithereens.
Gladius possessed the power of the Explode Fruit, capable of inflating his own body to detonate or expanding the inorganic matter he touched to cause an explosion.
It's safe to say that, excluding Law and the later addition of Abel, most members of the Don Quixote Family were Devil Fruit users, which is simply outrageous!
You must understand that in the North Blue, a Devil Fruit user with significant strength is fully qualified to establish a large pirate crew on their own.
That's the difference!
Had the captain of the Skunk Pirates been privy to this information, even with his courage, he wouldn't have dared to join forces with others to antagonize the Don Quixote Family.
However, the problem lies in the fact that they were unaware of it beforehand.
Doflamingo, already controlling the North Blue's underground black market, would naturally not allow any information regarding the Don Quixote Family's strength to leak out.
This also led to the outside world having an unclear perception of the Don Quixote Family's strength!
They knew that the Don Quixote Family was not to be trifled with, that they were incredibly powerful.
But how strong exactly?
A farmer who had never ventured beyond their village would only imagine that the emperor plowed the land with a golden plow every day.
Some individuals couldn't even fathom the notion that all members were Devil Fruit users!
"Seka, assess the situation inside. Rao G is guarding the perimeter, and if anyone attempts to escape, kill them immediately. As for the others, let our new family members gain some experience. Hahahha.
Abel remained silent this time, simply
nodding and entering.
He understood that this was also a test, to determine whether he could adapt to a life of daily bloodshed, a life where it was either kill or be killed.
The potential recruits Doflamingo sought were not merely strong; they had to be ruthless and ferocious!
So, upon entering, Abel drew his gun without a word and began firing.
A sixth child lurking near the door, attempting a sneak attack, was instantly shot in the head.
