Having said that, Abel didn't bother about Corazon's expression, simply took Baby-5 by the hand, and walked away.

This left Law and Buffalo looking at each other, uncertain whether they should follow or stay with Corazon.

However, Corazon, furrowing his brows, made the decision for them. With the authority of an officer, he forcefully led them in a different direction.

After all, to be honest, the only person he genuinely cared about was Law.

As long as Law was safe and kept away from Doflamingo, he could accept any outcome.

Moreover, in Corazon's eyes, the likelihood of children like Baby-5 and Abel, who were 'deeply involved', returning to the right path was practically zero.

So he just let them go.

Away from the spy, Corazon, Abel felt much more relaxed.

Since he chose this path, he would follow it to the end.

Redemption?

There was no need!

Looking at the pirates and navy fighting ahead, Abel took a deep breath; this was his stage.

"Baby-5, Demon Scythe form!"

"Hmm!"

Baby-5 immediately closed her eyes tensely, then disappeared in a flash of light.

With a pop, Abel reached out and grabbed the pole. Before his eyes appeared a long-handled scythe, with a dark red body and mysterious patterns engraved on the blade.

And at the top of the scythe, there was an eye pattern, very eerie, radiating a menacing aura!

"Hold on, take out these navy men!"

"The reinforcements from our family officers will be here soon, push them all back."

"Attack!"

Abel, dragging the demonic scythe, took step after step, gradually speeding up until he dashed into the battlefield in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh!

With a powerful swing forward of the demonic scythe, a navy soldier who had just taken down a pirate fell into a pool of blood.

Then, the nearby navy soldiers were swiftly taken down one after another!

This situation caught the attention of a navy officer.

Although the main force of this operation was the elite female navy led by Tsuru, a considerable portion of the North Sea branch navy was included to completely annihilate the Donquixote family.

While these navy soldiers may not have been as elite, they were more than sufficient to handle the numerous pirate underlings of the Donquixote family.

And Kenneth, a lieutenant in the 233rd navy division, naturally wanted to make a name for himself by participating in this operation.

Now, seeing an unusual youngster appear, he immediately had an idea.

So, he stealthily moved to a position not far behind Abel and, grinning maliciously, raised his fire gun.

"Die, you little brat!"

Bang!

However, the expected scene of a gunshot followed by death did not unfold.

In the blink of an eye, he found that the youngster he targeted, Abel, had vanished.

Had his intended shot missed its mark?

Kenneth...

Frozen for a moment, he then felt a pain in his chest.

A dark red blade tip abruptly pierced through his chest from behind, coming into his line of sight.

"Next time you plan to sneak attack someone, remember to conceal your malice better, and don't let your eyes wander," Abel said as he pulled back his weapon, giving his last piece of advice to this man.

As for this man's military rank—Lieutenant in the Division, he was not scared in the least. Those who knew, knew.

After several enhancements, Abel could be said to have undergone a complete transformation, no longer the greenhorn who could be easily bullied by anyone.

"Demon Scythe - Waltz!"

Seeing navy soldiers closing in from all directions, Abel suddenly erupted!

A chilling radiance traced a circle around him.

The next moment, all the weapons in the hands of the surrounding navy soldiers were cut off at the base.

And along with their weapons, their bodies too were severed!

This wasn't any special technique, just an attack move he invented. Utilizing his burst of power and the sharpness of the Demon Scythe, he could injure the surrounding enemies in an instant.

Seeing Abel's fierce action, the surrounding pirates, each engaged in their own battles, broke into various cheers and exclamations!

Although most of them didn't know Abel or hadn't seen him before, even a fool could see whose side he was on, who he was helping.

When someone who recognized him shouted his name, more and more people learned that he was the recent family member that Doflamingo valued and was earnestly cultivating.

Anyone with a bit of insight could see from Abel's performance in the fight the potential and strength he exhibited.

Definitely a future officer candidate!

Now wasn't it the time to try and familiarize oneself with him?

So, many people instinctively began to gather around Abel, joining him in resisting the navy's onslaught.

In many cases, age didn't really matter.

While battling, Abel was also paying attention to the developments on other battlefields.

Although they were caught off guard by the navy at the beginning, when officers like Diamante appeared and led the counter-attack, the situation stabilized for the time being, avoiding a complete rout.

However, that was only a matter of time.

After all, the pirates' quality was completely incomparable to the navy. Once the casualties reached a certain number, their morale could easily collapse instantly.

Doflamingo was fully aware of this, so he chose not to engage in a head-on clash with the navy.

He had Diamante and the others buy time to move the assets left on the island first, then retreat while fighting to shake off the navy.

That was the initial plan.

As for the pirates who died, they were just cannon fodder, plentiful and replaceable, not worth lamenting.

Then, a huge battle noise came from the direction of the navy's warships on the sea!

Abel surmised that Doflamingo had started the fight.

He was likely battling it out with Vice Admiral Tsuru.

Clearly, Tsuru's strength was not to be underestimated, capable of chasing the arrogant Doflamingo around. It showed how formidable Tsuru's wisdom and strength were.

It would take more than a moment for these two to decide the winner.

"No wonder Doflamingo said what he did before leaving. It seems he wanted to apply pressure on his opponent in this way. Otherwise, the end result might be like before, with Doflamingo's 'humiliating escape' ending the battle," Abel thought to himself.

"Now I can't rely on Corazon, so what should I do?"

Abel calmly surveyed the battlefield and then saw a somewhat 'familiar' figure.

"It seems I can get my revenge for almost drowning in the sea last time!"

Abel suddenly knew what he needed to do to cause a commotion.
