In the midst of busyness, the last two months of the year 1508 in the Sea Calendar silently passed by.
The time officially entered the year 1509 in the Sea Calendar.
That year, Abel turned 13 years old. His height of 1.9 meters and his well-proportioned muscular physique made him look much older than a child of his age.
During this time, which was briefly mentioned, a few events are worth noting.
Firstly, Senor was thrilled to become a dad; Luciannene gave birth to a plump little son for him, named Jimraito.
Senor had wanted Abel to be the godfather of his son, but Abel, not wanting to complicate relationships, politely declined and advised Senor to regularly spend time at home with his wife and child. He emphasized that even when he is out on family business, he should arrange for a nanny and doctor to take care of them, just in case.
Although Senor was unclear why Abel was so serious about this, he thought about it and agreed, as it was genuinely beneficial and a precaution for the mother and child staying on the island.
Another matter was that after all of Abel's running around, he managed to collect all the materials Tom needed before the year ended, spending several billion Berries. If it weren't for a windfall he received, he would have nearly gone bankrupt.
There's no helping it; that's just the way Tom is. If he does something, he aims to do it to the best of his ability and spares no effort. So, Abel reasoned that if spending more money was necessary, so be it. After all, you can't take it with you when you die. If he ran out, he could always go and loot more.
Furthermore, Doflamingo seemed to have devised a plan to take over Dressrosa and had already sent people to infiltrate the area, preparing to seize the perfect opportunity to crown himself king. During this period, the Donquixote family's growth accelerated due to Doflamingo's Shichibukai status and his connections in both the legitimate and underground worlds, resulting in the expansion of the family's smuggling business.
In just half a year, they made a name for themselves based on solid achievements in the underworld, particularly when they snatched the 'Heavenly Gold.' This recognition by many influential figures made them take Doflamingo and his family seriously.
The King of High-Interest Loans, Du Feld, who had invested early in Doflamingo, reaped huge profits, and both had no intention of parting ways over these benefits; instead, they deepened their cooperation. It was clear that both had great ambitions and were not content with their current status. However, walking too fast may encounter ghosts in the night. At this stage, Doflamingo was unaware that he was being watched by some very frightening individuals.
Lastly, there was Abel's strength growth and the rewards from his Golden Finger. No matter how busy he was, he never neglected his training, steadily increasing his strength. Although the progress wasn't as rapid as before, it was more stable and solid, with each step well-grounded. Out of seven prayer orders, he received one four-star rating, four three-star ratings, and two two-star ratings. He accumulated 13,000 trading points and an item, the [Collector's Edition Master Ball].
[Collector's Edition Master Ball]
Single-use consumable item
Description: A custom-made toy to thank our major spending players.
Effect: When thrown at any creature, it will forcibly contain them. Depending on the target's strength and will to escape, the minimum containment time is 1 minute, and the maximum limit is 1 hour.
PS: Even if it's a god, I'll capture them for you to see!
...
This item does not possess a taming function, meaning it cannot be used to capture 'pets,' but it can be used to trap enemies!
Even the most formidable foe, as long as it falls under the category of 'living creature,' can be forcefully contained for at least one minute.
With that one minute, there should be enough time to either escape or write a will.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you manage to hit the opponent with this Master Ball.
All in all, it's better than nothing, and in a way, it's very strong, but it also feels annoyingly inadequate.
It is also one of the items he purchased during the recent system store refresh.

For these items, Abel spent a total of 9,500 trade points.
He still has 18,640 trade points on hand, nearly breaking 20,000; saving money really isn't easy.
As for that [Voodoo Bottle], he definitely wouldn't have bought it for the original price of 8,000, but for the flash sale price of 3,000 trade points, it's a deal not to be missed.
Once his new ship is built, he can carry it in the bottle and release it when needed, surely stunning everyone who sees it!
Abel even thought of a cunning plan involving the bottle to steal ships indirectly.
As long as there are no living beings inside, he can just place it directly in the bottle and take it away.
Waiting for a minute is no trouble at all!
From now on, just call him Che Guevara Abel!
