The snow is not always soft. This is the castle of the Drum Kingdom, and people clean the surrounding area regularly. The seldom-cleaned areas have become compacted due to years of trampling, and no footprints are left at all.
The castle in the original timeline became like that because it was almost abandoned after the royal family was driven away, and only Guleva lived here.
Moreover, it was not snowy on Winter Island for 24 hours. In this sunny season, they could not find the invisible Absalom at all.
The fruit seemed to have rolled down the cliff, but in fact, when it reached the edge of the cliff, it was turned transparent by Absalom's power.
As a naughty kid, Wapol naturally couldn't see the clues and just kept making a fuss on the spot.
"Assholes! All of you, go pick up the things for me! Otherwise, I'll have my father execute you all!"
"Your Highness Wapol, this."
Looking at the towering cliffs, the guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The terrain of the Drum Kingdom is very special. In addition to the large plains, there are several cylindrical peaks on the towering mountains that look like iron tunnels.
Since the tops of the mountains are flat, the royal family here naturally built their castles on the tops of the mountains.
This may be a special tradition. Almost all royal families built their royal capitals at the highest location in the country, even Fishman Island is no exception.
The fruit still "slides" towards the steepest side, making it impossible to execute this command.
The guards had no choice but to prepare to go down the mountain from a flatter direction, and at the same time sent someone to notify the king of the Drum Kingdom.
Something in the treasure house is lost. If we don't explain it quickly, we will be in big trouble.
Fortunately, Wapol was the one who did this, and the guards of the Drum Kingdom were familiar with it.
What the people of the Drum Kingdom think has nothing to do with Absalom. Although the devil fruit has entered a transparent state under his ability, as the user of the transparent fruit, Absalom himself can see the outline of transparent objects.
Even if it was just a faint trace, it was enough for Absalom to grasp the specific situation after transparency.
[Once the fruit is in hand, the owner will surely be very satisfied. This will save the trouble of trading and money.]
Absalom followed the guards into the castle and rubbed his feet on the carpet at the door with the guards.
"Why do I feel a chill on my back? It's like something is following us?"
"What's there? You must be frightened by His Highness Wapol. Don't be so nervous."
The transparent fruit only obscures the vision and will still give people a weird feeling in an indoor environment, but the eyes have become unreliable at this time.
This haunted situation did not attract much attention. Absalom quickly found Orlan and tiptoed to his side.
Kate's ears moved on the top of her head, and that familiar scent could only be Absalom.
[Master, I succeeded.]
Absalom wrote some special characters on Orlan's back with his fingers. Almost at the same time, several guards walked in from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, there is a special situation. His Highness Wapol..."
"King Oran, it seems I'm a little inconvenient today. How about we talk another day?"
After the guard whispered some news about Wapol, the king of the Drum Kingdom could no longer sit still.
"It's okay. Since you, the King of Magnetic Drum, are busy, I won't bother you anymore."
With the thing in hand, Orlan's purpose of coming to the Drum Kingdom was achieved. Judging from Absalom's description, this fruit was undoubtedly the Swallow-Swallow Fruit.
Now that he had gotten what he wanted, Orlan naturally had no intention of staying here any longer and was originally planning to find a reason to leave.
This reason actually gave Orlan a reasonable excuse.
"Thank you for your understanding. Children are very willful."
"It's okay. As a father, I understand how you feel. The child is still young, and everything will be fine when he grows up."
Wapol is not his own child, so Oran doesn't care what he becomes.
Just talking about the issue of interests, if Wapol became a wise king, Oran would have a headache.
After all, when it comes to military force, Piltover will never be afraid of the Drum Kingdom. If the issue of the World Government is not considered, Orlan now has several ways to destroy the island.
Even if Ginny came here, she would be a synonym for invincibility. The countries in the first half of the Grand Line simply had no way to deal with people with natural abilities.
But this is a member state after all. Destroying the country will make no sense to Oran and will only bring trouble.
In this case, only Wapol's tyranny would be more suitable for Oran's population diversion policy.
If the Drum Kingdom does not take the initiative to expel these elite talents, Orlan will have to find ways to poach them.
But these words were actually very much liked by the king of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom. After saying some polite words about contacting each other later, Orlan and his companions left the palace.
Soon, in the wind and snow, looking at the devil fruit in his hand, Oran showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Well done, Abu. This saves a lot of trouble. What do you want?"
"No, it's my honor to contribute to you, that's all."
"Just say what you want to say."
"Yes! It's time for another trade in Wano Country. Why don't you let me go this time?"
Since the first transaction was completed, the trade with the Beasts Pirates has been on track. There is no need for special envoys anymore, and it only requires bartering at specific locations.
But Absalom himself is obsessed with Wano Country, and the Flower Street is a place full of desire for him.
"The New World is not peaceful recently. Let's talk about it later. I'll let you go then."
"yes!"
Because of Roger's death and Golden Lion's imprisonment, the New World is undergoing a major reshuffle. Even Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin are busy because of the rampant pirates.
Kaido is still developing in Wano Country, but he will go out to fight from time to time.
The original balance has been broken, and the fixed channels established in the underground world have also suffered a considerable impact.
Given Absalom's current situation, it is not wise to go there. After all, in the new world now, anyone passing by will be dragged over for a fight, and no one will save face.
Only when these young people are scared away by being killed can the new world become a little more stable.
Although he felt a little disappointed, Absalom soon regained his spirits. He was deeply touched by the fact that Orlan was worried about his safety.
"Let's go, it's time to go back."
The giant book acts as a takeoff mat, and the bear's ability is certainly convenient, but unfortunately, if the bear doesn't come along, it's a one-way ticket.
