When Abel arrived on a speedboat, he unexpectedly found that the Lightning Racer Pirate Crew was already engaged in a fight with another group.

"Paul, you think you can sleep with my sister and run away? Not so easy!"

A bald, muscular man was in a fierce brawl with a somewhat ruggedly handsome man.

"Big Boss Sugar, everyone was just playing a game. Besides, it was your sister who took the initiative, should I have turned her away? It just goes to show that as her brother, you don't understand your sister well enough."

"Bullshit! My sister is so beautiful, why would she fall for a loser like you!"

"Loser? My Paul family won't tolerate such an insult. Big Boss Sugar, you apologize to me right now and take your people and leave. In consideration of your sister, I can let bygones be bygones."

"Madness, apologize to you? I'm telling you, if you don't stay and marry my sister, I'll kill all of you!"

"Fine, let's see the truth in battle then!"

Paul, deceptive as ever, suddenly drew a pistol and fired continuously at the approaching Big Boss Sugar.

But something strange happened—all the bullets clearly entered the opponent's body.

Yet Big Boss Sugar acted as if nothing had happened, punching the bewildered Paul to the ground with one blow.

In a panic, Paul kicked out but ended up getting his half leg stuck in his opponent's belly.

Seeing this, Paul finally shouted out loud, "You're actually a Devil Fruit user?!"

"That's right, I'm the Soft Candy Fruit user, I can turn my body into soft candy, ignore physical attacks, and today you're dead."

Confident of his victory, Big Boss Sugar didn't mind revealing his power. After declaring so, he punched Paul's face, who had slept with his sister, hard once again.

"Ah!"

"I've always hated pretty boys, especially ones like you who seduce other people's sisters! Take this!"

With one leg firmly stuck in Big Boss Sugar's stomach, Paul couldn't pull it out or run, and he was quickly beaten to a bloody pulp, unable to speak.

However, the Lightning Racer Pirate Crew dared to venture into the Grand Line and had occupied this island for a week, fending off two sets of enemies—they naturally had their own skills.

Suddenly, the sound of glass shattering came from the surrounding buildings, followed by numerous gun barrels extending from the windows, aiming at the people engaged in the intense melee below.

Among them were some heavy machine guns and other heavy firepower.

The West Blue is known to be the birthplace of the mafia, led by the "Western Five Families," who rose to prominence in the underworld.

Paul was a member of one of the Five Families, the Paulo clan. Although his personal strength was mediocre, his charisma was strong, which is why he could be the captain.

And their venture out to sea relied not on personal bravery but on powerful firepower suppression!

Just like now, facing hundreds of gun barrels, who would dare to make a move?

Oh, there was one person who dared.

Big Boss Sugar, confident in his ability to ignore physical attacks, continued to beat up Paul, turning the handsome face unrecognizable and knocking out teeth all over the ground, with no intention to let go.

It forced the vice-captain of the Lightning Racer Pirate Crew to step in and stop him.

"Big Boss Sugar, if you don't stop now, none of the people you brought with you will leave here alive."

"What, trying to scare me?"

"It's just the truth. Now you've had your fight and let off your steam, while both sides have no casualties yet, it's best that we each go our separate ways and not interfere with each other in the future."As the words were spoken, many opened fire to push back the men brought by Big Boss Sugar.

Big Boss Sugar glanced at the guns around him, then at the companions he had brought, and finally released Paul, his face covered in blood.

"You are more capable than that useless pretty boy. You've got talent. How about it, are you interested in staying and marrying my sister?"

The first mate's face twitched at these words, and he forced himself to speak, "Big Boss Sugar, you flatter me too much. I have no interest in women."

It wasn't that he truly had no interest in women, he just wasn't interested in Big Boss Sugar's sister.

He couldn't fathom how Paul managed to stomach flirting with a woman weighing over 300 pounds.

At the very least, Paul was right about one thing—Big Boss Sugar really didn't understand his own sister.

"Damn, a pretty boy with no interest in women, that's disappointing."

"Forget it, for your sake, I'll let this pretty boy go today. But if I ever see him messing with my sister again, or bullying my family, I'll hunt him down to the ends of the earth and finish him!"

"I'll make sure to relay your words to the captain once he awakens."

"Hmph, you'd better. Let's go."

Having made his threats and feeling bored, Big Boss Sugar left with her subordinates.

Before leaving, she glanced at Abel and his sibling, who were not far away watching the commotion, and kindly warned them, "Hey, the show's over. Stop watching or you might turn into the laughingstock yourself."

"This person is quite interesting."

Abel smiled but didn't respond.

Seeing that he was ignored, Big Boss Sugar didn't bother with their well-being anymore; after all, he hated pretty boys.

If it weren't for the fact that Abel was accompanied by a sister, she wouldn't have bothered to speak any further.

"All good-looking guys should go to hell."

Muttering this, Big Boss Sugar and his crew left on their water scooters.

It was uncertain whether Paul had been playing dead all along or if it was just a coincidence.

No sooner had Big Boss Sugar's group left than the bloodied Paul awoke, cursing and grimacing in pain.

"Jason, why didn't you order them killed just now?"

The first mate rolled his eyes. In that situation, covering them with gunfire could indeed have wiped out the opposing group, but this idiot would not have survived, you know?!

Big Boss Sugar would have been the first to break your neck!

Alas, these were thoughts he couldn't express.

After all, he was just an ordinary person who had climbed up from the slums, with neither the background of the big families nor the wealth and connections.

The position of first mate was his limit.

If the opponent died, his chances of climbing higher were just a pipe dream.

No one under him would respect his leadership.

Without weapons and salaries, something he couldn't provide, who would follow such a boss?

"Damn it, once my wounds heal, I will be the first to take my men and take down that Big Boss Sugar, then snatch her sister. After I tire of her, I'll pass her over to you guys."

"Thanks, but you can keep her for yourself."

At that moment, Abel had already approached with Baby-5, only to be met by the barrels of a dozen guns pointed at them.
