Gilder Tesoro.
The person with the ability Gold-Gold Fruit is known as "Gild Tesoro", a man who built a huge entertainment empire with money and desire.
Some fragments about this man flashed through Akira's mind. His tragic childhood, his beloved one that was taken away by Celestial Dragons, and his extremely twisted desire for money and power.
To a certain extent, Gilder Tesoro is not a pure villain. He just uses an extreme way to take revenge on the world that once made him despair.
He used gold to build a gold-selling cave at sea, attracting rich people and pirates from all over the world. He made those arrogant rich people lose everything on his territory and eventually became his slaves, in order to satisfy his heart that had been trampled by Celestial Dragons.
Don't cheat the poor, just slaughter the fat sheep.
In Akira's view, most of those who spent huge sums of money in Grand Tesoro and were ultimately manipulated by Tesoro do not deserve sympathy.
However, when Tesoro appeared at this time, he didn't know how to assess the situation. He brought the training ship to New World, and even Whitebeard Pirates had to stay away. Tesoro didn't avoid it, but he actually wanted to gather New World's pirate power!
"Lord Marshal, this guy is just looking for death!" Morgan took a step forward and said in a rough voice, "Now the entire New World and even Whitebeard are trying to avoid Lord Marshal's edge. He, a guy who has just emerged, actually dares to jump out and gather the pirate forces at this time. This is a blatant provocation to the majesty of the navy!"
"Don't worry, Morgan." Akira put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "He's just a speculator, thinking that he can fill the vacuum if Whitebeard retires."
"Since he wants to be the one who stands out, I will make it happen for him."
"Contact the intelligence department immediately to find out the current location of Grand Tesoro." Akira looked at Morgan, "If it happens to be on our route to Elbaf, I will pull it out easily. If it is not..."
He paused, "Then let Whole Cake Island's Kuzan go."
"Yes!"
Morgan immediately picked up Den Den Mushi and dialed the encrypted line of the naval intelligence department.
After Akira became Marshal, the navy's intelligence system was completely reorganized, and its efficiency was more than one level higher than before. In just a few minutes, Morgan received an accurate reply.
"Report Lord Marshal!" Morgan looked overjoyed, "The location has been found. Although the Golden City is not on the direct route to Elbaf, it is not far from our current location. We only need to make a small circle to reach it."
Before Akira could react, Luffy and other interns gathered around.
"Golden City?" Luffy's eyes lit up, "It sounds like fun! Isn't there a lot of delicious barbecue?"
"Idiot! The point is gold!" Nami didn't know when he came over. His eyes had turned into two sparkling Beli symbols. He clasped his hands together and his whole body was glowing. "A whole moving city of gold... I'm getting rich! This time I'm really going to get rich!"
Akira stood up from the recliner and said simply, "Give me the order."
"Change course, target—Grand Tesoro!"
"Full speed ahead!"
At the same time.
New World, a certain sea area.
A giant "island" is bathed in the sun, emitting a dazzling light.
It's not an island, it's a ship.
A boat built by Pure Gold, the world's largest entertainment boat - Grand Tesoro!
Viewed from a high altitude, this giant ship itself is an ingenious work of art. The golden hull reflects thousands of rays of light on the sea, giving the surrounding seawater a luxurious color.
At this moment, dozens of pirate ships of different styles are gathering from all directions like pilgrims, slowly approaching this moving golden kingdom.
"Is this Grand Tesoro? It's so dazzling. Come on, pinch me and let me see if I'm dreaming?"
On the deck of a pirate ship, a flesh-faced pirate captain rubbed his eyes and opened his mouth wide enough to fit an egg.
"Captain, it's true! The entire ship is made of gold!" The voice of the boy next to him was trembling.
"Gudong."
Countless swallowing sounds echoed one after another on various pirate ships.
They were New World pirates, they were used to burning, killing, looting, and seeing treasures, but the sight before them completely overturned their understanding.
Under the guidance of Grand Tesoro staff, pirate ships docked in the huge port in an orderly manner.
The polite receptionists in uniform white suits walked onto the ship with a smile, which was in sharp contrast to the pirates who smelled of alcohol and were covered in scars.
"Welcome all distinguished guests to Grand Tesoro! Here, you will enjoy royal treatment. Wealth, wine, power... as long as you want it, you have everything here!"
The pirates were a little dazed by the battle, but were quickly captured by the aura of wealth and wealth. They handed over their weapons and, under the leadership of the reception staff, set foot on the golden city.
As soon as you enter, deafening cheers, the crisp sound of chips colliding in the casino, and all kinds of mesmerizing sounds hit your face.
In the splendid casino hall, countless pirates and wealthy businessmen gathered around the gambling table, with red eyes, frantically squandering their wealth. On the towering dome, the huge golden chandelier exuded soft light, illuminating everyone's greed and desire clearly.
"Hahaha! Come again! I will win back everything I lost today!"
"Open it! Open it! It must be opened!"
The pirates quickly became involved in this fanatical atmosphere. They threw the looted treasures bag by bag on the gambling table, completely lost in this dream made of gold.
In the VIP area outside their sight, the level of luxury is even more staggering. The wealthy pirate leaders and mysterious rich people enjoy the top-notch services in the glittering private rooms and watch the bloody and exciting gladiator matches.
The entire Grand Tesoro is like a huge, sweet trap that is constantly devouring everyone who sets foot here.
On the top floor of the giant ship, there is a splendid office.
Gilder Tesoro leaned on the throne made by Pure Gold, gently shaking the wine glass in his hand, overlooking the ant-like crowd in the city below, and listening to the reports of two confidant cadres.
"Sir Tesoro," Lucky Devil Fruit User Baccarat, who was hot and dressed in a bunny girl costume, bowed, "Today there are thirty-seven pirate groups boarding the ship, with a total number of more than five thousand. In addition, there are also a group of rich people from all over the world, and their net worth is very impressive. Do you need me to use my ability to make them "lucky" to sign the debt?"
"Hehehe..." Tesoro let out a burst of unique laughter, "No need, Baccarat. Rather than their money, I prefer to appreciate their desperate and helpless faces when they fall from heaven to hell. Let them enjoy themselves first, and enjoy this short, false dream."
"Yes."
Baccarat stepped back, and another Mr. Tanaka, who was wearing roller skates and could shuttle through any object, skated over.
"Sir Tesoro, there are several special guests who have arrived. They have been arranged through the VIP channel and entered the top lounge."
Tesoro The smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a cold hatred that almost overflowed.
"Are they those losers from Holy Land?"
"Yes."
"Very good!" Tesoro clenched the golden wine glass in his hand, and the golden liquid seeped out from between his fingers.
The muscles in his face twitched, and his eyes burned with the flames of revenge.
"Let them play! Have fun! Give them as much as they want! Send the luckiest croupier in the casino!"
Tesoro stood up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, his voice became low and hoarse.
"Wait until they run into debts they can't repay!"
He turned back suddenly, with a ferocious and crazy smile on his face, "Just send the IOU anonymously to the Navy Fleet Admiral's Office! I want to see how Navy Marshal will react when he sees that the "god" he protects owes a huge debt!"
"Should you pay them back, or take them to jail yourself?"
"Hehehehe! It's really exciting!"
