The wedding of Senor and Luciannene was quite simple.
Only Abel and Baby-5 acted as witnesses throughout the ceremony.
Yet on that day, the bride in her pure white wedding dress was gorgeous, and the groom in his specially chosen white suit was equally dapper!
Their smiles radiated joy and happiness, touching Abel deeply.
"Finally, they've come this far; I hope this time there's a happy ending."
Abel sincerely wished them well.
Compared to what originally should have happened, much had changed.
For instance, Senor had made all those lies he initially told into reality, with many others helping him to conceal the truth.
Moreover, the Donquixote family had now dominated the North Blue, with no challengers left.
This meant that for the time being, the officers wouldn't be as busy as before.
Having more free time to spend with Luciannene should hopefully reduce the chances of tragedy.
However, such a life would inevitably face problems, and Senor couldn't hide the truth forever.
When the time came, their future would rely on the strength of their relationship.
After the wedding, Abel returned with Baby-5.
He reckoned the leisurely days wouldn't last long.
After all, with Doflamingo's ambition, ruling just the North Blue was merely the beginning of his plans.
The family would certainly shift their focus to the Grand Line, which would undoubtedly mean busier times ahead.
At night, Abel was alone in his room, preparing to search for new orders.
But before that, he decided to check the refreshed items in the system's shop.
He discovered an item he hadn't seen before that was very much worth buying.
Item: [One-Day Training Card]
A one-time consumable item
Description: A quality product from the system, guaranteed!
Effect: Upon use, the host enters a special space designed for training, where any training conducted does not deplete stamina, lasting 24 hours.
Price: 200 trade points
Quantity:
PS: I know you like pumping iron, so enjoy.
...
Abel felt the system had seen right through him.
But this item was indeed something he needed.
He could use it to polish his skills.
So he spent another 1000 trade points, leaving 2540 trade points in his possession.
He then closed the system shop and began to search for Prayer Orders.
[Initiating Prayer Order search. Search complete!]
[A mid-tier Prayer Order has been retrieved]
[Order Description: The dreadful Weapon Human—Katana is on the approach, a terrifying undead existence, for the Devil of the Blade is hidden within its heart.]
[Order Contents: 1. Retrieve the Devil of the Blade. 2. Ensure the survival of the Devil Hunter Ki-no (optional)]
[Order Base Reward: 3000 trade points]
[Optional Order Reward: The Contract of the Devil of the Blade (obtained upon completing optional order contents)]
[Remaining Time to Accept Order: 4 minutes 59 seconds]
[Note: Upon successful acceptance of such a Prayer Order, an energy projection of the host's original body is automatically generated and immediately dispatched to the order's world.]
...
"Devils. Another world I am unfamiliar with."
Abel frowned slightly, recalling an item he possessed: [The Contract to Dominate Devils].
The last time he had barely completed a beginner-level Prayer Order by sheer luck.He was utterly clueless about the world he was assigned to because he didn't know anything about it.
Now, he was tasked to retrieve a sword called the Evil Devil and protect a demon hunter named Himeno, leaving him feeling quite overwhelmed.
He feared that the demons in this world would be like the 'demons' from the Devil Slayer series, potentially requiring special methods to kill them.
Or maybe they couldn't be killed at all?!
Abel looked at the description in his assignment, "A terrifying undying existence." It might really be troublesome.
But backing out wasn't an option. After all, he couldn't die. Even if the body he projected there 'died,' his consciousness would return unharmed. So, what was there to be afraid of?
He decided to just go for it!
So, he accepted the assignment.
Then the familiar scene shifted, and after a brief moment of surprise, his surroundings had changed completely.
And this time, there was a bit of nostalgia?
Abel stood on a bustling street, taking in his surroundings.
He noticed that the world's backdrop was very similar to modern society.
Office buildings, neon signs, briefcases and phones, the constant flow of vehicles, and the fresh-faced girls in school uniforms.
Had the system not been there, he would have started doubting whether he had returned to the world before he crossed over.
Of course, upon closer inspection, there were still many details that didn't line up.
For example, technological advancement in this world wasn't as rapid; many people still used flip phones, and the vehicle models were quite old.
And then there was the most significant difference of all.
This world had demons!
"Ah!!"
"Run!"
"Don't eat me, please don't."
Under Abel's gaze, an indescribable being made up of fingers and rotting flesh attacked the pedestrians.
He then heard a man in a phone booth nearby apparently calling for help.
"A Sea Cucumber Devil?"
"Is that name serious? Are you sure it's not a dig at some country's soccer team?"
Abel's expression became very interesting upon hearing the name of the demon mentioned during the emergency call.
While he wondered what organization would appear to deal with the 'Sea Cucumber Devil' and how they would do it, a figure suddenly descended from the sky.
With a thud, it smashed the 'Sea Cucumber Devil' to pieces.
Watching the purple liquid spray out like a burst abscess, along with scattered organs and undigested human skulls, Abel, despite having faced many trials, was momentarily struck dumb.
"Pretty bold, physical exorcism, huh?"
It took a while for him to catch his breath, and then he turned to look at the woman who had jumped from the rooftop.
Falling from a height of twenty or thirty meters, not only was she unhurt, but she was also holding a strange large hammer, and now amidst the remains, she was laughing like a maniac. A not-so-ordinary maniac!
Soon, the police arrived to cordon off the area and begin sorting the 'Sea Cucumber Devil's remains.
The strange woman with horns on her head was explaining something loudly to another man with blond hair, standing in front of a woman with pink hair.
"It seems those are the so-called demon hunters."
Abel watched them thoughtfully.
The woman with pink hair seemed very sharp, immediately noticing his gaze and looking back at him with curiosity and scrutiny.
Their eyes met.
