Tesoro's Resolve! The Sun Pirates' Great Crisis!

In Ian's office on the top floor of the Skull Building on Hachinosu Island.

"Lord Ian,"

Tesoro doubted whether he had misheard. He asked incredulously, "You mean you're entrusting the Beasts Pirates' weapons trade to me?"

Behind the large desk in front of him, a handsome young man reclined leisurely in his office chair, casually clipping his fingernails, and remarked...

"It's part of the arms business; we're handing this part of the New World over to you."

"I'm so busy every day; I have countless things to deal with as soon as I open my eyes."

This young man, not even sixteen yet but already standing at the top of the world, complained softly, "I've wanted someone to share my burdens for a long time."

He looked up at himself and said, "Tesoro, you'd better work hard. Once you're familiar with it, I'll hand over all of the Beasts Pirates' businesses to you."

The future is yours.

After the initial shock, Tesoro suddenly felt his body trembling.

It's because of excitement.

Does this person really have such high hopes for themselves?

Anyone with even a slight understanding of the Underworld knows that the Beasts Pirates' arms trade has already spread all over the world.

It is the world's largest arms manufacturer outside of World Government.

With the World Government manufacturing weapons only for its navy and internal government use, they are the world's number one arms dealer!

Should I just hand over such a remarkable business to manage?

Although it's only a part!

"But why, Lord Ian?"

Tesoro was both excited and incredulous. "I've only just joined your ranks."

But the boy in front of him didn't answer his question directly. Instead, he smiled and asked in return, "You just need to answer me, Tesoro, can you do it?"

A surge of adrenaline rushed to Tesoro's head, and he nodded emphatically without hesitation, "Of course!"

He is indeed very confident when it comes to doing business.

In the years since his escape from Mary Geoise, he hasn't been idle.

They already had a small business in the New World; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to afford to spend a billion Beli at the auction.

"Very good."

His Majesty the Emperor seemed very satisfied with his answer and immediately handed him a stack of documents, saying, "Go back and take a good look at them. The rest is up to you."

"Yes!"

Tesoro respectfully accepted the documents and left the office.

As he went downstairs, his steps were light and quick, and he felt as if he were about to fly away.

Lord Ian trusts me so much!

Then I absolutely cannot let him down!

Go all out, Tesoro, and show Lord Ian your true strength!

After descending a few floors, Tesoro encountered his former subordinates.

Baccarat, Tanaka, and Dice all gathered around.

Although they have now joined the Beasts Pirates and become Lord Ian's subordinates.

However, the small group remained a small group and did not part ways because of this.

"Lord Tesoro,"

Baccarat asked somewhat anxiously, "What does Lord Ian want with you?"

"Don't call me Lord Tesoro anymore!"

Tesoro said solemnly, "On the entire Hachinosu Island, no, on the entire Beasts Pirates, there is only one lord, and that is Lord Ian!"

"Lord Ian is our only sun, the only one worthy of our following!"

"So--"

Tanaka hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Mr. Tesoro, what does Lord Ian want with you?"

Tesoro was quite pleased with the title; he nodded slightly, then proudly tossed the documents in his hand.

"Lord Ian has decided to entrust me with handling the Beasts Pirates' weapons trade in the New World."

"You guys come and help too."

Not to mention that Dice is simple-minded, Baccarat and Tanaka are his capable assistants.

The two were stunned for a moment, then burst into cheers.

This means that this small group, which has just joined the Beasts Pirates, has already established itself right from the start!

Tesoro immediately led the group back to the office that Ian had prepared for him to study the stack of documents.

The research lasted a whole day, and it wasn't until dusk, when the sun was setting, that Tesoro, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, decided to go for a walk to relax.

Then he saw a boy and a girl locked in fierce combat in the plaza outside the Skull Building.

The boy was a green-haired brat who hilariously fought with three swords.

He was holding one in one hand and another in his mouth.

To Tesoro's surprise, the two knives in the brat's hands looked to be of high quality, but the one he was holding in his mouth was just ordinary.

In Tesoro's opinion, this kid's swordsmanship was just average, nothing particularly impressive.

Therefore, it was only natural that he was repeatedly defeated by the girl who was his opponent.

His opponent was also a swordswoman, but she only had one sword.

However, this girl was a power user; she transformed into a large cat that stood upright, covered in brown fur with black spots.

Two long fangs extend down from his mouth, almost exceeding the length of his chin.

"Zoro! Now you're even further behind!"

The girl's voice was tinged with laughter. Her swordsmanship was far more precise than the boy's, and with her superior agility and strength, she easily knocked all three of the boy's swords away.

A sharp longsword was already positioned between the boy's neck and his neck.

"Damn it! Did we lose again?"

The green-haired boy shouted defiantly, "Just you wait! Kuina! Next time I'll be even stronger, and I'll defeat you decisively!"

The girl returned to her original appearance and said with a smile, "Then you'd better hurry up and master the true power of those knives."

"After all, thanks to Ian, I've become stronger now! And I'll become even stronger in the future!"

The girl's face radiated intense confidence, as if she had become even stronger, and this was simply a matter of course for her.

There was not a trace of confusion or timidity on her face.

"I told you, you're still a long way off, you Moss Head!"

A blond-haired kid walked over with a smile, carrying a tray with a glass of iced drink on it.

"Miss Kuina, I've prepared a drink for you, please enjoy!"

Curly Eyebrows!

The green-haired boy's forehead veins bulged instantly. "Do you want to get chopped up?"

The blond-haired boy said defiantly, "You can talk when you can't even hurt a hair on my head."

"You bastard!"

Then Tesoro was astonished to see that the green-haired boy actually drew his sword and slashed at him.

However, his attacks were completely ineffective against the blond boy.

The blond-haired boy was as strong as steel; when the blade struck him, it clanged and bounced off.

Instead, the green-haired boy was kicked away by the blond-haired boy.

A love triangle?

It's still that volatile love triangle.

Young people these days are truly remarkable.

Tesoro continued walking forward, sighing with admiration.

After walking only a few steps, I witnessed a truly fierce battle.

"You bastard with white hair!! How dare you go out and play with Ian by yourself!!"

"Hehe, you're the one who got left behind!"

A black-haired girl and a white-haired girl are clashing fiercely.

The Haki Inazuma emanating from their battle exploded in all directions like a spider web.

Tesoro felt his scalp tingle just from seeing this scene.

So, this is another love triangle too?

As expected of a high-ranking officer on the Golden Flying Dragon, wouldn't you say?

That's terrifyingly strong!

If I were to face them, I would definitely be instantly killed.

Tesoro didn't dare disturb them and quietly walked towards the sea.

Under the setting sun, the shimmering sea surface looked as if it were plated with gold, which perfectly matched Tesoro's aesthetic.

Unfortunately, it also suited another guy's aesthetic.

"Hehehehe! Shimir! Look! How's my ability!"

The giant stood on the shore, surrounded by a vast expanse of gold that resembled giant serpents.

"The boss gave me all the gold on the island! How about that! Spectacular, right?!"

The drifting gold sometimes gathered, sometimes dispersed, sometimes transformed into birds, and sometimes coalesced into an even larger giant.

"Hehehe! When the boss helps me collect even more gold, he'll be even more amazing!"

"Oh!!"

The somewhat overweight giant beside him clapped his hands, seemingly amazed by the magic trick before him.

Tesoro's lips twitched slightly, and he silently turned and left.

Actually, he really likes the Gold-Gold Fruit.

He walked a short distance and then saw a figure.

A rather tall figure, but his true appearance was obscured by a heavy cloak.

He was also holding another person in his arms, and that person was also holding a baby, just like a nesting doll.

A family of three was walking along the coast towards Tesoro.

Tesoro certainly knew him.

Bartholomew Xiong was originally a cadre in the Revolutionary Army.

However, he is now Lord Ian's subordinate.

Just as they were about to meet, Tesoro nodded slightly to the bear.

We'll be colleagues from now on, seeing each other all the time.

The bear nodded slightly in greeting.

After they passed each other, Tesoro couldn't help but turn back to look at the bear's retreating figure.

That's great.

He rescued his lover from Mary Geoise.

It's so wonderful to be able to live together so happily.

Stella.

If I had possessed their power back then, if I had met Lord Ian sooner, could we have been like them too?

They snuggled together as they strolled on the beach.

Celestial Dragons!!

Tesoro clenched his fists.

If it weren't for those scumbags, I could have been just like Stella!

Tesoro suddenly lost the will to continue his walk.

If we want revenge, we can only rely on Lord Ian!

Therefore, what I should do most now is to spare no effort to make Lord Ian even stronger!

Then let's get to work, Tesoro!!

Do your best to complete the task Lord Ian has given you!

Use your efforts to enhance Lord Ian's strength!

Only then can we eliminate the Celestial Dragons!

Tesoro went straight back to his office and got to work!

When Ian heard the news that Tesoro had worked through the night and eventually collapsed from exhaustion, he was somewhat bewildered.

Is this guy really such a glutton?

Ian thought he had already tried his best, but he never expected that there was always someone better.

No wonder this guy became the world's richest man in the movie.

When Ian approached him to advise him to stop pushing himself so hard, Tesoro retorted confidently, "Lord Ian values me so highly, I absolutely cannot let you down!"

Ian was almost moved by him; he really wanted to award him a "Top Ten Most Touching Figures of the Beasts Pirates" award.

However, Tesoro's hard work yielded remarkable results. Within just a few days, he had officially taken over the arms trade in the New World and handled it quite efficiently.

Ian was quite satisfied with this.

With Tesoro's help, Ian believed his days ahead would be much easier.

But this ease didn't last long; Stussy brought him some news.

As a CP0 agent, Ian certainly wouldn't have just asked this woman to help monitor Who's-Who and Luffy.

She would report every detail of the World Government's actions to Ian.

For example, the World Government has now focused its main attention on eliminating the Revolutionary Army.

This time, the message Stussy brought to Ian was...

"The Navy has located the Sun Pirates and contacted Foreshadow Island, saying they want to send one of the children back."

The beautiful woman said, "Next, the navy will launch a siege against them."

The Revolutionary Army wreaked havoc in Mary Geoise, and so did Mary Geoise Fisher Tiger.

Therefore, even though the government has focused its main attention on the Revolutionary Army, it still decided to launch a naval operation to subdue the Sun Pirates after discovering their whereabouts.

"I see?"

Ian wasn't too surprised.

After all, when he invited the Sun Pirates to stay in the New World, Fisher Tiger ultimately chose to refuse.

They are still wandering in the Paradise.

Was it fate that I met Koala again?

Who is leading the team?

If it's still Kizaru, then I'll have to go there myself.

"It was supposed to be Vice Admiral Borsalino, but he was transferred to hunt down the Revolutionary Army. He was replaced by a veteran Vice Admiral from the Marine Headquarters Dogul."

Ian nodded slightly.

Then I don't need to go.

However, it seems too late for the others to get there in time to provide support.

If the bear doesn't become one of your subordinates.

The time has come to officially bring the Sun Pirates under my command.

Ian pulled out Den Den Mushi, chuckled, and thought to himself, "Luckily, I had Fisher Tiger's Den Den Mushi number with me."

Paradise, a certain sea area.

On the deck of the Sun Pirates, a little human girl lay expectantly on the ship's railing, gazing intently at the distant sea.

"Kid, there's no use in being anxious."

Behind them, the red-skinned Fish-Man crossed his arms and sneered, "It will take at least two more days to reach your homeland."

The girl turned around; she seemed somewhat malnourished, but her hair was styled into a neat bob, and she wore an adorable little dress.

Her expression was strangely stiff, but she was trying to smile. "Two more days?"

Fisher Tiger glanced at her.

Although the smile is still stiff, it's completely different from when it first started. This child is trying hard to remember how to truly smile.

"Only two days left, your parents are waiting for you."

Fisher Tiger turned and walked back. "Don't wander around anymore once you get back."

Those annoying human brats are finally getting off the ship.

Fisher Tiger walked into the cabin on his own, so he didn't notice that the girl smiled as she watched his back.

It's not stiff at all; it's very gentle.

Mr. Fisher Tiger!

Thank you so much!

"Brother Tai! Phone call!"

Just as he entered the cabin, Jinbe approached him with a strange expression. "It's Mr. Ian!"

"Ian?"

Fisher Tiger was taken aback.

How long has it been since we last contacted each other?

He instinctively picked up the Den Den Mushi. "It's me, Fisher Tiger, Ian. What's up?"

A voice came from the other end of the phone, "Fisher Tiger, you're being watched by the Navy."

Severe writer's block; I sat in front of the computer all afternoon...
