The Golden Ship
Boom!
With Kaido's roar, the entire Onigashima seemed to tremble. The Conqueror's Haki surrounding him spread out as if it were a tangible force, enveloping everything in an invisible pressure. His subordinates, who were trying to escape, were frozen in place by this power, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as the furious Kaido approached step by step.
"Haku... you bastard, where have you been hiding? Come out! I'm going to kill you with my own hands!" Kaido's voice was hoarse with anger, his eyes bloodshot, like an enraged beast searching for prey in the darkness.
However, amidst the chaos and fear, a calm and firm voice suddenly rang out. "Kaido, big brother!"
Soon, King, one of the Calamities, finally appeared, and he quickly pressed down Kaido, who was about to get up.
We prevented the other party from causing any more trouble!
He only breathed a long sigh of relief after Kaido fell asleep drunk.
The main reason is Big Mom; his men are not very obedient.
Especially those Pirates from the Worst Generation, King noticed that they were starting to have wicked thoughts.
"Strengthen vigilance, especially against those treacherous Pirates of the Worst Generation; we must not give them any opportunity to exploit."
Jin gave orders to his subordinates, his voice soft but carrying an undeniable authority.
The subordinates immediately sprang into action, and the atmosphere on Onigashima instantly became tense yet orderly.
The South China Sea! Above some sea area!
Haku was leisurely reclining on a chair on the Ark's deck, with Sabo beside her as they slowly flew off in a certain direction.
"Based on the coordinates sent by the people over there, we should be able to reach that place in about half an hour!" Sabo said, studying the nautical chart in his hand.
Haku said, "Half an hour? At the speed of the Ark, it should be arriving soon!"
Sabo closed the nautical chart in his hand and said, "By the way, weren't you looking for Bullet? Why are you heading to the Gold City now?"
Haku, lounging on the recliner, said lazily, "Well, I had no choice. My information was that they were in the Gold City, so I just went there."
"Bullet is in the Gold City too, that's interesting. Can Gild Tesoro keep that crazy guy Bullet in check?" Sabo guessed.
Haku shrugged. "Who knows? Neither of them are easy to deal with. Maybe they've already joined forces."
Haku sat up straight, looked up, and said, "Looks like we've arrived!"
As Haku and Sabo's gaze pierced through the thinning clouds, the dazzling scene below gradually became clear— the Golden Ship Tesoro, the legendary floating palace, finally came into view.
The ship was over 10,000 meters long, making it the largest ship Haku had ever seen.
The entire ship appeared to be cast from Pure Gold, shimmering brilliantly in the afterglow of the setting sun, like a giant golden star leaping on the sea surface, or a dreamlike island floating in the azure ocean.
The ship's silhouette is smooth and elegant, with each deck designed in a staggered and layered manner, yet Harmony coexisting, showcasing unparalleled architectural aesthetics. This is enough to show that Gilles Tesoro must have put a lot of thought into building this ship.
The ship's hull is adorned with intricate and exquisite patterns, including ancient and mysterious totems as well as abstract lines in a modern art style. These patterns intertwine to tell stories about wealth, power, and dreams.
Under the light, these patterns seem to come alive, radiating a soft golden glow that captivates the viewer.
As the Ark slowly approached, Haku and Sabo were able to see the details on the ship more clearly.
The tall masts seemed to pierce the clouds, with huge golden sails hanging from them, swaying gently in the sea breeze and making a pleasant sound.
The openwork section at the bow of the ship seems to devour any enemy that dares to approach, showcasing the majesty and power of the ship's Master.
The most eye-catching feature is undoubtedly the ship's magnificent buildings. The Palace- like architectural complex is scattered across the decks, some towering into the clouds, others low and elegant, each exuding an air of rich luxury.
The Palace walls seemed to be inlaid with glittering gold, which, under the refraction of light, emitted a soft golden glow, making the entire Gold City look like a land of gold.
In certain areas of the ship, you can also see exquisite gardens and fountains, cleverly arranged between the pathways, adding a touch of life and vitality to this floating palace at sea.
As the Ark drew closer, Haku and Sabo could sense the powerful aura emanating from the Golden Ship —a symbol of wealth, power, and strength.
Haku looked at the Golden Ship and couldn't help but think, "What a rich bastard!"
Unfortunately, now that he's running an organization, he's starting to feel financially strapped.
Haku already had designs on him!
Now, with Gilder Tesoro's Golden Ship hanging so dazzlingly before her eyes, Haku found it hard to resist the temptation.
As Haku's Ark drew closer, Gold Dust began to fall from the sky.
Haku glanced thoughtfully at the sky, then said to Sabo, "There's something wrong with this Gold Dust. You go into the cabin first!"
Sabo nodded and went into the room without saying a word.
Haku looked toward a building on the Golden Ship, where there stood someone Haku knew very well.
"Douglas Bullet! What a mess!"
In a large hall, Bullet was completely covered in gold.
It's obvious at a glance that this guy used the Merge Merge Fruit to manipulate gold to cover his body.
Otherwise, this guy wouldn't have been trapped by Tesoro!
"That's really interesting! I don't know what Bullet was thinking. The other party can clearly manipulate gold, and he still dares to use the Merge Merge Fruit gold?"
Thinking about this, Haku smiled and shook her head, indicating her lack of understanding.
The Gold Dust in the air continued to swirl around Haku, gradually forming a vacuum ring.
Haku scoffed!
They maneuvered the Ark toward the Harbor the Golden Ship was located.
"Mr. Haku, welcome to the Gold City! I'm your personal VIP waitress, Baccarat, and I'll be your guide as you explore the entire Gold City!"
As soon as Haku stepped off the deck, Tesoro's officers came to greet her.
He smiled, walked over, and lifted the other person's chin, saying, "Are you sure you belong solely to me today?"
