"Lord Pica, if you're going to take action, could you please make it quick?"

"With their frail bodies, a single punch from you would settle it, right?"

"Let's wrap up the official business quickly so we can eat. What time is it now? Aren't you guys hungry?"

In the silence where no one dared to speak, Abel yawned and began to 'add fuel to the fire'.

Pica immediately glared at him, "Eat, eat, eat, that's all you know. Wait and see, there will be none left for you!"

Abel turned to the sisters kneeling on the ground and said, "Did you hear that? As punishment, you are not allowed to eat today. Now hurry up and thank Lord Pica."

It was then that Monet realized that he wasn't kicking them while they were down, but rather helping them. She quickly said, "Thank you, Lord Pica, it definitely won't happen again."

With things as they were, Pica had no more reason to seek revenge and could only glower at someone again.

In fact, as soon as Abel had broken the silence, Pica had not intended to harm them.

After all, as he had said, one punch would probably be the end of them.

There was no need to provoke the young master's anger without cause.

But the situation at the time had made him lose face.

Thankfully, that kid Abel gave him a way out, and he took it.

He managed to maintain his prestige, gave the newcomers a lesson, and didn't make things difficult for the young master.

That was the real reason he didn't pursue the matter further.

Of course, he wouldn't show gratitude, and he still muttered in his heart, 'Abel is really meddlesome!'

Abel didn't care whether Pica appreciated it or not; he was genuinely hungry.

So he straightforwardly said, "If no one else is going to compete with me, then I'll take Baby-5 to the South Sea."

There was actually no one else - Jora needed to stay to take care of the 3-year-old Dellinger, Buffalo had no one to lead him and was not capable of leading a team, and Monet and Sugar were still new.

Doflamingo looked towards Pica, meaning it was up to him to decide.

Pica glanced at someone and said, "It doesn't matter to me, then Gladius and I will head to the East Sea."

Seeing Pica agree, a huge weight was lifted off Abel's mind.

The lightning bolt of the East Sea had been sent away, thankfully, not landing on him.

He only had to hint at it, and they all understood.

In the original story, years later, Doflamingo had opened smuggling channels even in the New World, truly taking the arms business worldwide.

Even the Wano Country in the West Sea was defeated in a war because enemy nations had bought a large quantity of smuggled arms from the Donquixote family.

They had no choice but to send the long-retired Chinjao to investigate Doflamingo's underground arms trade in Dressrosa.

The South Sea was a similar case, not to mention the North Sea, which had become Doflamingo's backyard.

But the East Sea remained calm and peaceful.

Without a trace of the Donquixote family's smuggling ships, nations had to search widely to hire mercenaries for their wars.

Think about it, ponder it carefully!

Therefore, when Diamante grabbed the West Sea, Abel immediately felt a knot in his stomach.

But fortunately, Pica's indifferent attitude helped him out.

After the meeting, Doflamingo announced the start of a party, also to celebrate the family gaining new members.

When leaving, Monet made a point to thank Abel, bringing Sugar with her.

Abel waved his hand, not taking it to heart.

However, nearby, Baby-5 put her hands on her hips, assuming the role of an experienced senior, ready to teach them the family's rules.

Since she was also quite small, about the same size as Sugar, her serious and old-fashioned appearance was not only lacking in any sense of authority but also seemed comical and cute.

It gave off a vibe as if a child was insisting on wearing adult clothes.

However, with the prior lesson learned, both Monet and Sugar hid their true feelings, cooperating with Baby-5 and pretending to listen intently.

This act pleased Baby-5, who then proceeded to teach Monet and Sugar the ins and outs of survival within the family, as well as the personalities of each of the executives.

Sugar started to daydream and doze off as she listened.

Meanwhile, Monet was paying close attention, committing the names and personal preferences of each executive to memory to avoid offending any of them in the future.

Even though the two were personally brought back by Doflamingo, this didn't exempt them from abiding by the family's rules.

On the contrary, to prove that Doflamingo's decision to save them was worthwhile, they needed to demonstrate their value, starting by not causing any more trouble for him.

Seeing them engaged in a lively conversation, Abel decided to head to the dining room first.

After the welcome party ended, it was already late.

Abel returned to his room, freshened up, and then lay down on the bed, activating his system.

...

"It's actually the 'Tokyo Ghoul' world; too bad I don't have such a heavy taste."

It's another familiar world, which is somewhat reassuring to Abel.

Although he can't remember the specific plot.

He is still aware of the general background: a group of monsters named ghouls that predate humans and the ensuing struggle between the two.

The good news is that ghouls in this world can be killed with human weapons.

And not necessarily with a weapon named 'Quinque'.

Actually, 'Quinque' are weapons created from a ghoul's organ called 'Kakuhou', allowing trained humans to possess the power to combat ghouls.

After all, while human weapons are usable, they are not very effective, especially against the stronger ghouls, and their impact is often minimal.

Maybe after a long fight, the injuries received heal faster than they can be inflicted.

As for Kishou Arima, he is considered to be a top-tier combatant, but Abel doesn't know much about him; he will find out once he enters that world and has the opportunity for a battle.

Abel took the order with ease and then closed his eyes.

The next moment, when he opened his eyes again, he was in a dirty alleyway at night.
