Tesoro! Launching a Massive Offensive! All-Out Warfare!

Tesoro still feels like it's all unreal.

The moment he woke up in a hospital room in the Calamity City, he was filled with immense fear, terrified that everything he had experienced might just be a beautiful dream.

But no.

Thankfully, it wasn't.

Tesoro later learned from the medical robot that changed his medication that he was not only alive, but had also been taken to the headquarters of the Calamity Company, the real Cloud City floating in the sky, the Calamity City!

So, it's all true!

It is true that he killed Saint Charlos with his own hands.

It is true that Lord Roa destroyed Mary Geoise.

It is true that the arrogant and domineering Celestial Dragons suffered a devastating calamity!

It's true that he actually managed to survive the monsters' battlefield despite his best efforts.

After realizing these things, Tesoro stared blankly for five minutes.

In those five minutes, he didn't think about anything, but it also seemed like he was thinking about a lot of things.

Finally, only one sentence came to mind.

It's over.

The long wait of eighteen years has finally come to an end today.

I felt a sense of relief, but also a bit lost and confused.

Then.

Tesoro cried.

This man, who had been a slave in Mary Geoise for eighteen years, endured countless tortures and still survived, never choosing to give up, this man with a heart of steel, now wept.

At first, he just silently shed tears, then his shoulders began to tremble, and finally, he threw his head back and wailed.

"Stella! Can you see this in heaven? The Celestial Dragons who killed you have suffered utter annihilation!"

Tesoro met the girl he loved most in his life during a difficult time.

When he was kicked out of his home by his mother and became homeless, he met Stella was about to be auctioned off as a slave.

She was the only one who appreciated his singing. She talked with him about music, the past, and the future. Tesoro had never had such a wonderful time in his life.

But Tesoro had no money, and he couldn't rescue his beloved woman from the slave trade.

He could only watch helplessly as Stella was bought by the Celestial Dragons, and even he himself was captured and enslaved for attacking Celestial Dragons.

After that, Tesoro never saw Stella again; he only heard about her death.

From that day on, the Tesoro of the past was dead.

What remains is merely an empty shell of revenge.

For a long time, Tesoro believed that with enough money, one could control everything.

However, during his long years as a slave, he discovered that money alone was utterly worthless.

Among the slaves, there was never a shortage of wealthy people; even royalty from certain countries were not uncommon.

Money or status are of no value to the Celestial Dragons.

No one in the world is richer or more powerful than them.

Only power, only power can determine everything.

Therefore, Tesoro began to gather his strength.

But it was too difficult.

As a slave, it is incredibly difficult to accumulate enough power to rebel against the Celestial Dragons.

Thankfully, Lord Roa appeared.

Without this lord's words, Tesoro really didn't know how much longer he could have held on.

And now, it's finally over, it's all finally over.

But Stella, I can barely remember your face anymore!

Tesoro cried for a long time that day.

After crying, Tesoro asked to see Lord Roa, because he wanted to express his gratitude regardless of whether Lord Roa needed it or not.

There were no regrets in her life anymore; all she needed to do was thank Lord Roa... And then, Stella...

However, the reply they received was that Lord Roa had not yet returned.

Therefore, he earnestly requested that Lord Roa's request be conveyed to him upon his return.

Then today, as he was diligently undergoing rehabilitation, a small robot quickly approached.

"The boss wants to see you."

Tesoro looked up instantly, and a surprised smile now spread across his hideous face.

Are you finally back?

"Please take me there quickly!"

Having spent several days in this Calamity City, Tesoro had gained some understanding of these little robots.

Although they are robots, they actually possess human emotions, but their intelligence level is much lower than that of normal people, roughly at the level of a child.

However, it's only intelligence.

It is said that their creators used a special machine to instill a great deal of knowledge into their brains, enabling them to perform various duties simultaneously.

Healthcare, construction, repair... it's incredibly versatile.

Therefore, Tesoro felt that it was never wrong to treat them like children.

So the little robot led Tesoro to the central area of this giant floating city, to the palace where Lord Roa resided.

As soon as Tesoro stepped into the palace, he saw Lord Roa giving instructions to a green-haired woman.

"Then, this child will be entrusted to you."

Roa pointed to the little mermaid princess who was sitting timidly to one side with her tail curled up, not even daring to glance around.

"Take good care of her, even if it costs you your life, protect her safety."

"Yes."

Kozuki Toki nodded calmly, not finding anything wrong with what Roa said.

Then Roa looked at the timid little princess and said with a smile, "Shirahoshi, from today onwards, you are a senior executive of the Calamity Company. If you have any problems, just ask Shi, and she will help you solve them."

The little princess quickly looked up at Roa Ya, then glanced at Kozuki Toki out of the corner of her eye, before quickly lowering her head, looking just like a timid little hamster that had just arrived in a new environment.

She gave a soft "hmm".

"There are also some mermaids; you can make arrangements for them as well."

Roa continued.

I brought back quite a few local specialties from Fish-Man Island this time.

After giving his instructions, Roa finally turned around and looked at Tesoro was beaming with excitement.

"Amazing, Tesoro!"

Roa smiled and said, "The fact that you are alive and standing in front of me is already a great achievement."

The Gild Tesoro before us is not the Gild Tesoro from the original theatrical version.

He didn't possess the Awakening Gold-Gold Fruit, nor did he have the formidable Haki honed through trials. Even his body was battered and bruised, suggesting he had been suffering from injuries for over a decade.

He can only be said to have some ability, but not much.

In Mary Geoise, where monsters roamed at the time, he was nothing short of cannon fodder; the aftershocks of the monsters' battles were enough to kill him.

In this situation, the fact that he was able to hold on until Doflamingo stuffed everyone into Bege's stomach can only be described as a sign of good fortune.

You flatter me!

Upon hearing Roa's praise, a hint of surprise appeared on Tesoro's ferocious face.

Then, he suddenly knelt down before Roa, "Lord Roa, thank you so much!"

Thank you for saving me, thank you for coming to Mary Geoise, thank you for slaughtering so many Celestial Dragons!

Thank you so much for everything!

Roa's lips curled slightly as he looked down at the guy. "Tesoro, want to join my Calamity Company?"

"Lord Roa?"

Tesoro suddenly looked up, his face full of astonishment. "Me?"

Does someone like him even qualify to join the Calamity Company, where everyone is a monster?

"Um."

Roa smiled and said, "I really like you. So, are you going to refuse?"

Tesoro stared blankly at Roa.

He was already prepared to die.

Having achieved his life's goal, living no longer held any interest for him; all he wanted was to be with the woman he deeply loved as soon as possible.

But.

Sorry, Stella, Lord Roa said he likes you very much!

"Yes!"

Tesoro bowed deeply to the ground, prostrating himself in utmost respect. "If you need even this small amount of my power, then I will do everything in my power!"

Since Lord Roa needs it, then Stella, wait a little longer!

"Very good."

Roa nodded in satisfaction. "Then, the first command is to strive to become stronger, Tesoro."

"The war is not over yet, or rather, it has only just begun! The Celestial Dragons remain our greatest enemy. If we want further revenge, then we must become even stronger."

Tesoro felt his heart suddenly stop for a moment, and then begin to beat with unprecedented force.

A surge of power suddenly welled up from the deepest part of his heart, causing him to unconsciously speak, "Yes, Boss!"

Yes!

Although only one-tenth of the Celestial Dragons remain, Celestial Dragons have survived. Those who truly dominated the world and brought about so many Celestial Dragons are still alive!

They must die too!

If I could kill them with my own hands!!

Get stronger!

I need to become stronger so that I can help the Boss in this long tug-of-war and personally kill those Celestial Dragons!

"Hmm, not bad."

Seeing Tesoro's passionate emotions, Roa couldn't help but nod slightly.

The morale of the troops is high.

Tesoro was already talented, and now, with an even more resilient heart and unwavering will than in the original work, given time, he will certainly not be a weakling.

When the Golden Lion and his group arrived, they saw a man kneeling respectfully before Roa.

The Golden Lion merely glanced at Tesoro; he showed absolutely no interest in the man.

He said, "You're finally back, so, are we going to launch a full-scale attack on the West Blue and the North Blue next?"

The monsters arrived all at once.

Everyone remained gathered in the Calamity City, as the current situation was extremely dangerous.

If Imu were to have a moment of despair and leave the Red Line, then once they are separated, any carelessness in revealing their whereabouts would lead to annihilation.

So everyone simply gathered together.

"Why not?"

Roa chuckled, " In the West Blue and the North Blue, numerous Marine Base have been destroyed, and many members of the royal families of the Affiliated Nation have been slaughtered. Those two seas have become chaotic; it's the perfect opportunity."

"But Roa,"

Katakuri said, "Let alone attacking both the West Blue and the North Blue simultaneously, even if we only choose one of these seas as our target, our forces are simply not enough."

Dylan said at the opportune moment, "Boss, we have 150,000 clone warriors under our command, plus the original members of the Teach Pirates, the Giant Soldier Pirates, the Mink Tribe Assassins, and the Demon Giant, bringing the total number to nearly 170,000."

"The Flying Pirates, along with all the pirate crews under their command, have a total strength of just over 200,000. The Beasts Pirates and the Charlotte Family each have a combined strength of around 150,000."

In other words,

Roa stroked his chin. "Even if you include the Fish-Man Unit, the total number is only around 700,000?"

Jinbe brought the original Deep Sea Logistics Company from Fish-Man Island, and now the total number of Fish-Man Unit is over 30,000.

Of course, there are also thousands of domesticated sea creatures.

However, even if each of these sea monsters could take on a hundred, when converted into a total of hundreds of thousands, this force was still far too small.

Alabasta has a standing army of 600,000.

During the Paramount War, the Navy was even able to field a force of 100,000 men, all of whom were officers!

"Furthermore, we can't send them all to the West Blue and the North Blue,"

Dylan added, "The New World also needs sufficient military force to maintain order."

Roa glanced at his allies with some disdain. "You guys are really disappointing, aren't you? Is this all you've accumulated over the years?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The Golden Lion snorted irritably, "My forces are the largest of all!"

Kaido, looking equally annoyed, said, "What's the point of having so many weaklings?"

"That's true, but we'll have to make do with it."

Roa shrugged. "Anyway, their main goal is just occupation; they don't need to fight or conquer."

Everyone agreed.

Putting aside everything else, the massive airships still floating in the West Blue and North Blue are enough to destroy any country.

Leaving aside the destructive weapons aboard those large ships, just consider the calamity-level experts who accompanied them; any one of them could single-handedly destroy a nation.

On the contrary, these ordinary fleets were of little use.

Its sole purpose is to actually occupy those countries and achieve true conquest.

"But what about the Divine Knight?"

Charlotte Linlin said, "Roa, that guy Imu won't let this go!"

"That's right!"

Kaido, also looking annoyed, said, "Those scum are utterly disgusting! They're not very strong, but even I can't kill them! And they can even summon each other!"

"Roa,"

The Golden Lion said with great interest, "Why don't you make a few more trips and wipe out Divine Knight scattered across those two sea areas!"

No.

If it's not a combat situation I like, I'll refuse it outright.

Roa shook his head without hesitation, "If I were to appear before the Divine Knight, Imu's true form would probably descend immediately."

The expressions on everyone's faces changed slightly.

That seems to make sense.

"What about those Divine Knights?"

Katakuri frowned. "We can't just let them run rampant, can we?"

That's true.

Roa nodded in deep agreement, "From this perspective, research into new energy Conqueror's Haki is now imperative!"

"Ha?"

Katakuri was completely stunned. "New, energy? What the hell?"

"Conqueror's Haki can be stored using some kind of technology!"

Roa said solemnly, "In that case, as long as I store up my Conqueror's Haki and use it at the crucial moment, even the Divine Knight will have no choice but to await their doom!"

"Huh? You can actually do something like that?"

Charlotte Linlin stared blankly.

This is the power of science!

Roa grinned.

Joy Boy left a knot inside the giant robot that contained his Conqueror's Haki.

If he can do it, there's no reason why I can't.

The key lies in that knot.

In terms of its form, it is somewhat similar to the knots used by Visalia to summon the wind.

That's one way to start; after all, all the scholars in Visalia are currently in this Calamity City.

"But this so-called research also takes time."

Golden Lion said, "What should we do until the research is complete? We can't keep avoiding confrontation with the Divine Knight, can we? What kind of conquest is that then!"

"Whatever!"

Roa Ya chuckled, "We have new foreign aid!"

"Foreign aid?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Roa turned slightly, revealing Shirahoshi behind him. "Let me introduce you, this is Princess Shirahoshi from Fish-Man Island."

"Huh? The Little Mermaid?"

Everyone was taken aback. Were they now displaying new collectibles?

The Golden Lion said smugly, "You mean the Fish-Man Unit?"

He had already spotted Jinbe standing quietly to one side.

Golden Lion was quite familiar with this Shichibukai.

Naturally, since Roa had made a special trip to Fish-Man Island, it would be strange if he hadn't successfully obtained the Fish-Man Unit he wanted.

"NoNoNo,"

Roa waved his hands repeatedly, "Yes, Sea Beast."

"Sea Beast?"

The Golden Lion was taken aback.

The others were also taken aback.

What's the meaning?

"Every few hundred years, a special mermaid princess is born on Fish-Man Island,"

"They are born with the ability to communicate with the Sea Beast," Roa said leisurely. "No, it shouldn't be called communication! They are born with the ability to command the Sea Beast!"

"What?"

Kaido disbelief, instinctively glancing at the timid little princess.

Command the Sea Beast?

"More than eight hundred years ago, that mermaid princess received a title,"

Roa smiled and said, "Because she is the queen of the Sea Beast, and the Sea Beast are the overlords of the deep sea, people call her the Queen of the Sea."

"Poseidon, the Sea King!"

"..."

Even the Golden Lion was so surprised that his mouth dropped open, and the cigar he was holding in his mouth unconsciously fell to the ground.

"Eh!!!"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"So, this girl is Poseidon, one of the Ancient Weapon?"

Even the Golden Lion, who was quite conscious of his public image in front of Roa, practically had his eyes popping out of his head at this moment.

Neptune?

Did you get it that easily?

In any case, the pirate alliance's forces have launched their attack.

The sea was filled with a chaotic mess of ships; with multiple pirate crews mixed together, the scene could only be described as utterly chaotic.

Beneath the surface, enormous sea beasts towed large ships in close pursuit, while massive Sea Beast escorted them.

Once they reach the West Blue and the North Blue, and join forces with those Sky Battleship, it will be a true all-round combat system. The sky, the sea, and the deep sea will be like a vast, unobstructed net, covering the entire North Blue.
