A Transformed Relationship / The World's Largest Entertainment City
Users of the Paramecia -type Space-Space Fruit Alternate Space Form the ability to merge with space can possess an ethereal power far greater than Elemental Transformation. Once they directly enter another dimension, they can reappear from the same place they disappeared from.
If the sign is correct, shouldn't this be land?
"It seems the captain has been through a very fierce battle," Robin said gently, having already noticed the shattered state of Bill Island behind Arthur.
Because Robin is a few centimeters taller than Arthur, and exudes a mature and sophisticated aura, the image of her with her legs wrapped around Arthur gives a very different feeling from her usual style.
Especially when Robin wrapped her arms around Arthur's neck, her rosy lips pressed against Arthur's face, and she breathed a soft fragrance.
At first glance, one might mistake her for a mature and beautiful older sister teasing a naive and inexperienced younger brother.
"Release the 'East Starlion' first, then I'll tell you what happened." Arthur said helplessly, standing on the sea, feeling the fragrance wafting from both sides.
"Oh my god... Could it be that the great King of Knights has been captivated by Robin- neechan?" Nami paused for a moment, then, upon seeing Robin opposite her, she instantly transformed into a witch. One arm encircled Arthur's neck, while the other slid down his knight's uniform. Her cherry lips brushed against his ear, whispering in a voice loud enough for all three to hear, "So, the 'fickle' King of Knights, how about trying the three of you together? I wouldn't mind~ And I'm sure Robin -neechan, who often 'peeks,' wouldn't mind either. Right, Robin- neechan?"
After saying her last sentence, Nami, through Arthur, winked at Robin, whose cheeks were unusually flushed.
"Ah... no, I was wrong! Great King of Knights, I am an ability user, please don't let go!!"
However, before the atmosphere could change, Nami's scream shattered the silence.
A few nautical miles off Bill Island, the silver-white "East Starlion" sailed slowly, aimlessly.
On the lawn-like deck, Arthur and his two companions sat together on the sofa, a rare occurrence for them.
In the middle, Nami and Robin Arthur. One of them is kneeling on the sofa with her legs together, her hands on Arthur's shoulders, looking on her right with a curious expression.
The other one sat elegantly with his legs crossed on the left, peeling an apple with a knife, but his gaze wasn't on his hands; instead, it was fixed on Arthur.
"... That's it! Those guys got away." Arthur casually recounted the whole story to Nami and Robin.
"Blackbeard Pirates, I remember reading about him in the newspaper. He's one of the two culprits who broke into Impel Down, just like Straw Hat F," Robin said, peeling an apple. "But I think Straw Hat F just benefited from Blackbeard Pirates's fame. The real culprit who broke into Impel Down was the man who killed Whitebeard's fourth division commander, then defeated his own commander to gain the position of Shichibukai."
Having followed Arthur for so long, Robin's horizons have broadened considerably. She doesn't believe that the three Supernovas her captain easily captured in the Sabaody Archipelago are capable of breaching Impel Down with Marine Headquarters and Enies Lobby.
"Ah... that's true! Franky told me that the Straw Hat crew was arrested shortly after they broke in." Arthur nodded; he was already used to Robin's intelligence.
"I remember those guys too, Blackbeard, the former Shichibukai. I remember he turned Marine Headquarters into a wasteland in an instant." Nami asked worriedly, "And that Monster that was taller than a giant, Arthur, are you alright?"
"Idiot, if they were injured, they wouldn't be the ones running away." Arthur reached out and ruffled Nami's hair, laughing.
"Hehe... No, I have to check it myself." Nami's ever-changing, devilish side reappeared. Enjoying Arthur's head pat, her worry from a second ago instantly turned into a mischievous smile. She lay directly on Arthur's lap, her hands skillfully reaching inside his clothes to unfasten Arthur equipment.
"Wait... what do you want to do? Robin is still here!" Arthur's expression changed slightly, and an unbelievable future scene flashed through his mind.
"It's so hot, of course we need an ice pop!" Nami tilted her head back and blinked, then glanced at Robin, whose face was flushed and whose hand was trembling slightly as she held the apple peeler. She teasedly said, "As for Robin, I'm used to it anyway. Your senses are so sharp, you know perfectly well, don't you?"
"Hmm..."
After saying that, while Arthur paused, Nami unbuttoned his white trousers, parted her cherry lips slightly, and leaned in.
'Sizzle sizzle...'
The gentle murmur of flowing water and the soothing sound of the flute are captivating.
"I'm leaving now!" Robin placed the apple on the fruit plate on the table next to him, lowered his head, and hurried away.
Arthur, looking unusually embarrassed, covered his forehead, glanced down at Nami was engrossed in her food, and said helplessly, "How is Robin supposed to face anyone now that you've exposed her like this?"
"Then let's all three of us go together~ I don't mind anyway." Nami held the object in her hand, her flushed cheeks rubbing against it, and stuck out her tongue, saying, "Besides, Robin has such a great aura, don't you like her? Just imagine how it would feel if we pretended to be sisters to please you, Arthur ~ Bro~ Bro~"
"Hehe! Since you like thrills so much, let's go to the swings. You're not allowed to beg for mercy."
Chapter 144 The Relationship of Qualitative Change
Nami's directness and merciless exposure naturally resulted in severe punishment.
After Robin hid in the cabin, a symphony, ranging from a low murmur to a soaring melody, began to play.
It didn't last long before the soaring symphony was drowned out by cries for mercy.
That feeling of being both on top of the clouds and about to suffocate Nami's hysterical screams to continue without interruption, and even when Robin hid in the cabin, she couldn't stop them.
This 'punishment' only stopped when Nami's voice became hoarse.
The days that followed unfolded exactly as Arthur had predicted.
Having been exposed by Nami, Robin, no matter how shrewd or strong-willed, hasn't dared to look Arthur in the eye these past few days.
These past few days, the atmosphere on the "East Starlion" has become incredibly eerie.
Nami, the one who caused this situation, seemed completely oblivious and showed no remorse whatsoever.
She continued doing what she was supposed to do, and Robin, who had been exposed by Nami, did not blame Nami for her previous behavior, and still faced Nami with a gentle smile.
It was as if they were treating Nami's previous actions as a prank by her younger sister.
However, Arthur and Robin were in an awkward situation.
In their daily lives, Arthur and Nami often needed Robin's help, such as doing laundry, cooking, peeling apples, making coffee, and so on.
After so long, Arthur had gotten used to it and enjoyed Robin's meticulous care.
When things are serious, Arthur is the one who is absolutely in control.
Before it was revealed, Arthur and Robin were simply captain and crew member, 'younger brother and head of the family' and 'older sister'.
Now, the relationship between the two seems somewhat delicate.
Arthur was embarrassed, while Robin seemed lost in thought; in any case, the two remained in an awkward silence.
However, Robin, who initially avoided eye contact, recovered quite quickly.
Seeing Robin return to her original form, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief, but also had some thoughts.
As for what their thoughts were, that remains unknown.
"Arthur, where are we headed next?"
On the azure sea, a three-masted sailboat, entirely silver-white, sails slowly.
Today, Arthur is at the helm, and in front of the helm is a semi-transparent glass sphere that looks like Log Pose, containing a square piece of paper with a string of letters written on it.
Behind him, Nami nestled close, clinging tightly to Arthur's waist. Dressed in a bikini, her large breasts gently brushed against Arthur's back through the thin fabric.
With a lovely and beautiful face adorned with a happy smile, and her shoulder-length orange hair, which she had kept for over a year, this girl exuded a pure and youthful aura.
After a good bit of pouting, Nami poked her head out from behind, stared at the glass ball in front of the steering wheel, and asked a question.
"It's Gran Tesoro." Arthur said calmly, feeling the soft touch on his back.
"Gran Tezzolo? That's the world's biggest entertainment city?!"
"Gran Tezzolo? That's the world's biggest entertainment city?!"
Upon hearing the word, Nami felt it sounded very familiar. Then, as if she had remembered something, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed in surprise.
"What, don't you like it?" Arthur lowered his eyes slightly, looking at Nami with her head resting against his waist, and said with a half-smile.
"Of course not! I love you to death, King of Knights!" Nami quickly shook her head, a joyful smile spreading across her beautiful and lovely face. She excitedly said, "Gran Tesoro is the perfect vacation spot! I've wanted to go see that world's biggest entertainment city for ages!"
"When did you buy the Vivre Card to travel to Gran Tesoro?" Nami asked expectantly after the cheers.
"Purchased on 'Risky Red Island'," Arthur said slowly, without any attempt to hide anything.
"Hehe... I was so busy shopping back then that I forgot my duty as a navigator." Hearing this, Nami didn't praise Arthur; instead, she stuck out her tongue shyly, then looked at Arthur with golden eyes, like a die-hard fan, and said, "Thanks so much, Lord Arthur."
"Lord Arthur must be given a reward..."
After saying that, Nami went around from the back to the front, crouched down, and began to act with practiced ease.
"Hey... don't get too cocky." Seeing Nami's shy yet excited expression, Arthur said helplessly, "Robin's still behind us."
"Hehe... Robin is long gone." Nami stuck out her tongue and laughed shamelessly, then leaned in closer.
From that day on, Nami seemed to become incredibly alluring, disregarding Robin's presence and always taking the initiative during the day whenever she felt a connection.
It seemed as if there was some sinister word.
Therefore, while Arthur enjoyed it, he also felt very distressed.
Undeniably, this kind of open-air environment is indeed very exciting.
But each instance of indulgence meant his image was severely damaged.
Observation Haki (A++) does not grant the ability to read minds, and Arthur is also unable to perceive Robin's thoughts.
I wonder how Robin's feelings for him have changed.
From that day on, the relationship between the three was no longer simple; it began to undergo a qualitative change.
(Did Zhao...?)
Gran Tesoro is the world's largest entertainment city, belonging to an independent nation and demilitarized zone recognized by the World Government.
Possessing power comparable to that of the Celestial Dragons, it is an 'Absolute Sacred Grounds' that the World Government cannot easily touch.
The city's masters are the Pure Gold Empire ruled by Gild Tesoro, Monster from the New World.
Gild Tesoro, the head of the world's largest entertainment city, is the 'Gold Man' who ate the Paramecia Gold-Gold Fruit, and is known as the Gild Tesoro.
He owns 20% of the world's Beli, reigns supreme in casinos as the King of Casinos, and also works part-time as an entertainer.
Gullán Tezzolo is not only the world's largest entertainment city, but also the best vacation destination in the hearts of countless people.
Therefore, it's no wonder that Nami's mood instantly became incredibly excited upon hearing about this place.
Chapter 145 The World's Largest Entertainment City
"Wow... this is the legendary 'Gran Tesoro,' the world's largest entertainment city?"
Several nautical miles away, Nami could already see the golden city ahead, a city that looked like a world-famous landmark and had been described in newspapers many times.
As the sunlight shone down, the golden light seemed to be amplified, gleaming with a dazzling golden hue.
At first glance, it looks like a living gold mine.
The giant golden ship, resembling an island, was towed by two enormous island tortoises.
It was an island ship similar to Moonlight Moria's Thriller Bark, but in terms of construction and prestige, it far surpassed Moria's Thriller Bark by hundreds of times.
No other ship could compare to this Golden Island ship.
Only the extremely wealthy could afford to build such a ship.
Only a ship the world's largest island is befitting the status of the world's richest man.
Therefore, Gran Tesoro is a moving target and does not possess a magnetic field that guides the pointer to the New World.
Therefore, if you want to reach Gran Tesoro, besides encountering it by chance at sea, you need to purchase a Life Card for Gran Tesoro.
Compared to the New World Pointer, aside from those adventurous souls searching for the One Piece, most players use Vivre Cards.
After all, the New World Pointer also needs to be filled with magnetic field, and as long as the target person on the Vivre Card hasn't left, it will definitely reach its destination smoothly.
This is much more convenient than Eternal Pose.
As for whether there's any concern about the Vivre Card holder leaving their destination, there's no need to worry.
Individuals who dare to sell Vivre Cards as road signs are fraudsters, while groups of people selling them are reputable companies.
Gild Tesoro clearly had some kind of business with the company that sold Vivre Card signs; Arthur's Vivre Card, which led to Gran Tesoro, was purchased from a Vivre Card shop.
The silver-white "East Starion" gradually approached the entrance to Gran Tesoro.
"When we enter the tunnel, use our abilities to merge into another dimension. Robin, you come too!"
With the dark tunnel entrance just around the corner, Arthur suddenly leaned down and gave Nami a word of advice, then waved to Robin.
"It seems that the world's largest entertainment city isn't as wonderful as it appears on the surface." Robin obediently walked to Arthur's side, looking at the approaching darkness, and sighed softly.
Although the captain's image has been somewhat tarnished recently, in Robin's heart, he remains the person who gives her endless security, is calm and collected, resourceful, and the most trustworthy.
