Boss Sugar truly did not disappoint Abel; in less than three days, he found an opportunity to take down all the other members of the Commerce Alliance in one fell swoop.

Right until their deaths, they never imagined that the first to betray them would be Boss Sugar, the man with bold brows and big eyes.

"Heh, you think to send me to my doom? I'll send you off first!"

Boss Sugar was indeed decisive and ruthlessly efficient.

He even raided their homes, sending all their wealth straight into Abel's hands.

Seeing him so understanding, Abel, who was considering whether to dispose of him like a used millstone, decided to give him a chance.

With Boss Sugar taking the lead, Abel simply tossed his day-to-day duties to him.

Suddenly receiving such attention also deeply touched Boss Sugar, who coped with delight and pain as he handled the affairs of the entire island.

Compared to before, his status and power had shot up immensely!

Now, as he walked down the main street, anyone who saw him would respectfully call him Manager Sugar, to the point where he even considered introducing his sister to Abel.

A true example of not seeking revenge for past grievances!

Gradually, after another two groups attempted to throw their lives away, the flag of the Donquixote family stood firm, not easily uprooted by anyone.

In addition, Baby-5 collected 299 of the "Fallen Human Souls."

She was only one "Enraged Human Soul" away from successfully activating the third form: a pistol.

As we all know, most pirates are short-tempered, quick to engage in a fight at the slightest provocation.

But finding an "Enraged Human Soul" was not so simple.

At night.

Abel opened the system shop, as it was time for the quarterly, limited-time discount flash sale to refresh.

Abel skipped mentioning another two blue-quality items of little importance and purchased these two items.

The effect of the [Figurehead—Davy Jones] was incredible, and when he eventually got himself a fine ship, it would give any enemies wanting a sea battle a real headache!

Both ghostification and summoning a sea monster were incredibly practical.

The [Drunkard's Flat Bottle] was bought just in case—items with weird capacities like this could come in handy for fulfilling a wish order someday.

After deducting 4200 trade points, he now had 2840 trade points left.

He then opened the order interface.

[Would you like to start searching for wish orders?]

[Current search count: 1 (Free)]... ...

[Initiating prayer order search. Search complete!]

[Acquired an intermediate prayer order]

[Order description: The Gourmet Warlord Koko possesses antibodies for about 500 different toxins, but this is still not his limit.]

[Order content: 1. Provide at least ten new types of toxins. 2. Create a toxin that even Koko would appreciate (optional).]

[Base reward for the order: 1000 transaction points]

[Optional reward: Special Skill: Self-Produced Antibodies (awarded upon completion of the optional order content)]

[Time remaining for the order: 11 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]

... ...

"How convenient," Abel chuckled after reading the requirements of the intermediate prayer order.

Last time, after the injection, there were more than a dozen potent toxins left over.

He then instructed his people to collect as many toxins as possible before the 12-hour deadline.

As for the optional content of the order, Abel decided to use his own blood for the task.

After all, his blood was fused with so many deadly toxins, it shouldn't backfire.

Ten hours later, Abel decided to submit the order.

[Intermediate prayer order completed, customer gave a four-star rating (unexpectedly impressed)!]

[Comment: Intriguing toxins, and they even have assimilative and devouring properties, I need to study this in detail.]

[A four-star rating increases the base transaction point reward by fifty percent, the optional order content is completed, and rewards are automatically distributed; please check them yourself.]

[Due to the customer's satisfaction, you've earned an additional reward — Toxin Antigen.]

... ...

[Special Skill: Self-Produced Antibodies]

Skill Type Item

Description: The signature secret technique of the Gourmet Warlord Koko.

Effect: Analyze any toxin and produce antibodies internally to form immunity.

... ...

[Toxin Antigen]

One-time consumable item

Description: All the toxin antigens within the Gourmet Warlord Koko.

Effect: Upon injection, it generates antibodies for five hundred different toxins within the body.

... ...

This prayer order turned out to be easy, and the rewards were satisfactory.

Abel was very pleased, using both the [Special Skill: Self-Produced Antibodies] and [Toxin Antigen] in succession.

The former taught him how to proactively use gourmet cells to analyze and create toxin antibodies, while the latter instantly turned him into a being with antibodies for over five hundred toxins.

Without saying, the risk of fusion with lethal toxins was greatly minimized henceforth.

If someone were to try poisoning him, they would be in for quite a surprise!

"First cold resistance, now poison resistance. Will I someday max out all resistances?" Abel mused, thinking this could be a path to 'invincibility'.

After waking up, more good news arrived.

There was buzz about a notorious Mad Cow Pirate Crew, whose captain, 'Mad Cow' Michael, had a bounty of 92 million, always raging furiously in battle.

He had even slaughtered a Marine branch!

Abel thought that the [Soul of a Human Engulfed in Rage] was likely to be found with him. So, he immediately instructed his people to gather information about the Mad Cow Pirate Crew and their sailing route.

They confirmed that the crew was heading towards Jaya Island.

Abel promptly prepared to set out.
