The World's Number One Casino and the World's Number One Gambling Addict!
Blue-Eyes White Dragon gallops across the sky above the North Blue.
The giant snail castle of the Germa Kingdom quickly turned into a small cluster of black dots on the sea.
Meanwhile, the Sky Garden, thousands of meters above the ground, was left behind by the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and gradually disappeared into the sea of clouds.
Storm withdrew his gaze from the Sky Garden and instead focused his attention on the Eternal Pose in his hand.
This is Gran Tesoro's Eternal Pose, which he just "borrowed" from Nami.
At this moment, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's destination was also --
New World, Gran Tesoro!
Driven by her admiration for this "world's largest entertainment city" as described in the newspapers, Nami originally intended to travel with Storm.
However, Storm refused Nami's invitation to accompany him, citing the "North Blue Hunting Plan" as the reason.
For the current members of the Storm Pirates, the New World is still too dangerous.
Storm had long planned to bring the Storm Pirates to the New World.
Or rather, almost all pirate crews eventually settle in the New World.
But not every pirate crew can withstand the storms and waves of the New World.
Storm had also considered whether to lead the Storm Pirates across the Calm Belt from the North Blue directly into the New World.
However, after careful consideration, he later cancelled this somewhat radical plan.
Storm's tentative strategy for dealing with the Storm Pirates is --
First, they'll operate in the North Blue, then enter the Grand Line, and finally the New World!
At least until the "Storm Grand Fleet Squadron Ranking Battle" ends.
Storm has no intention of bringing the Storm Pirates to the New World.
The "ship's doctor" recruited for this return to the North Blue is Trafalgar Ro.
Storm also left Luo in the North Blue.
This "ship's doctor" of the Storm Pirates carries a heavy burden on his shoulders.
First, Law needs to participate in Bonney's "Azure Jade Scales" treatment plan;
Secondly, Law needs to participate in the Storm Pirates ' "North Blue Hunt Plan";
Finally, and most importantly, Luo needs to strengthen his physical training!
The [Op-Op Fruit] truly deserves the title of "Ultimate Fruit".
But as Storm said before--
Law is too reliant on Devil Fruit!
Every single Devil Fruit User can rely on Devil Fruit, but they absolutely cannot rely solely on Devil Fruit!
[Haki], restraining all fancy and flashy things.
The [Op-Op Fruit]'s ability mechanism is indeed very powerful.
However, if the target's [Haki] is too strong, Law's [Op-Op Fruit] won't even be able to shake the opponent.
Storm didn't expect Law's Physique and Haki to reach the level of Beasts Kaido or Bullet, the Devil's Descendant Bullet.
But at the very least, he can't be so weak that he doesn't even have the strength to "cut someone," right?
In short, it all boils down to those four words:
If you're bad at cooking, just practice more!
"Hopefully the crew members can grow up quickly; there are many things that still need manpower to handle..."
Storm suppressed his anticipation.
He continuously adjusted the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's flight direction based on the direction indicated by the Eternal Pose in his hand.
When the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's flight direction is completely aligned with the direction of the Eternal Pose.
Storm then put down the Eternal Pose and entered a resting state.
"New World, I'm back!"
The New World, Gran Tesoro.
During this period of time.
Following the World Economic Journal's relentless propaganda.
Those on the high seas who knew about Gran Tesoro were generally aware of the existence of this "world's largest entertainment city".
On the turbulent New World Ocean, a ten-kilometer-long golden warship is sailing steadily on the surface.
Near the strangely shaped bow of the golden warship, two equally enormous sea turtles were lurking in the sea. Thick chains were attached to the turtles' bodies, and the ends of the chains were connected to the bow of the golden warship.
Clearly, the "power source" of this golden behemoth is these two enormous sea turtles.
This colossal golden warship was painstakingly crafted by the Gild Tesoro Tesoro.
Gran Tesoro!
Above the sea near Gran Tesoro.
A small, dark shadow was floating there.
A blind old man in purple robes, holding Sword Cane, stood on a round stone slab as wide as his shoulders, slowly approaching the magnificent and beautiful golden warship.
If a swordsman familiar with Famous Sword were here, he would surely recognize the true identity of the Sword Cane that the purple-robed old man held, which resembled a guide cane.
One of the Supreme Great Grade Swords Twelve Works— [Black Road Fire Wire]!
The blind swordsman wielding the [Black Road Fire Wire] is actually the future Headquarters Admiral, nicknamed "Fujitora"—the Chivalrous.
He lost his sight with a laugh, but his mastery of Observation Haki was extremely high.
With his Observation Haki, which has an extremely wide range of perception, Ikko, who was in the sky, could perceive the entire situation in Gran Tesoro clearly.
"What an exaggerated 'ship'!"
Yixiao increased his flying speed and flew towards Gran Tesoro.
"What an outrageous 'casino'!"
As a seasoned gambler...
Yixiao has traveled to many countries and visited many casinos in his life.
But he had never seen a casino as big as Gran Tesoro!
Really...
"This is so exciting!"
Very few countries or powers possess "air superiority" over the high seas.
At least Gran Tesoro doesn't have that ability.
Furthermore, Yixiao's individual goals are very small.
The old blind swordsman infiltrated Gran Tesoro effortlessly without alerting anyone.
However.
The moment he stepped onto Gran Tesoro, Issho's [Observation Haki] sensed that something was wrong.
The air in Gran Tesoro seemed to be filled with an atmosphere of extravagance and debauchery.
But Yixiao keenly perceived this feeling, which was not only spiritual but also material.
In the air of Gran Tesoro, large amounts of Gold Powder drifted and permeated.
Some gold dust is visible to the human eye.
However, some gold dust is difficult to see even with the naked eye.
With his Observation Haki, Ikko clearly sensed that a large number of people in Gran Tesoro had unknowingly inhaled this golden dust.
Moreover, as they stayed on the ship longer, the amount of gold dust they inhaled increased.
Although, so far, Yixiao has not found any people whose behavior has become abnormal due to ingesting gold powder.
However, while one should not harbor malicious intentions, one must be wary of others.
Thud!
Yi Xiao gently placed the [Black Road Fire Wire] in his hand on the golden deck of Gran Tesoro. A faint purple light flashed and disappeared on his body, enveloping his entire body.
The Gold Powder floating in the air was drawn by an inexplicable force just before it entered the space around Yixiao's body, and immediately drifted down onto the deck below.
Issho, Devil Fruit User the Paramecia Gravity- D Denk-Denk Fruit, can manipulate the strength and direction of gravity at will.
Using the power of the [D Denk-Denk Fruit], Issho created a "gravity field" around his body, physically isolating him from the invasion of the Gold Powder.
Knock knock knock--
A series of knocking sounds followed.
With a smile, he walked forward unhurriedly, his mind filled with information about the Gild Tesoro.
Legend has it that the Gild Tesoro was Devil Fruit User of the Paramecia Gold-Gold Fruit...
'These Gold Powder floating in the air must also be the work of the Gild Tesoro...'
'Perhaps this is the unique management method possessed by Gran Tesoro?'
Yi Xiao couldn't be sure if his guess was true.
But he can't care about that now.
Because...
The old gambler's addiction kicked in!
"Oh dear! So many gambling dens! Which one should I go to?"
After hesitating for a while, he took out a die from his pocket and shook it gently.
"This is the one I've decided on!"
With a smile, he put away the dice, took out his money bag, and strode towards the nearest gambling den.
"My hands are itching so badly!"
Gran Tesoro, the central tower.
This Golden Pagoda, standing at the very center of Gran Tesoro, is the residence of the Gild Tesoro Tesoro.
From the top of this tower, the Gild Tesoro can take in the entire panorama of Gran Tesoro.
At this very moment.
Gild Tesoro was observing Gran Tesoro from a certain direction.
That's exactly where Yixiao logged in!
Tesoro withdrew his gaze from that spot and returned to the tower room behind him.
"Gran Tesoro has welcomed another interesting 'guest'!"
The Gold Powder permeating the air of Gran Tesoro was indeed Tesoro's doing.
If Tesoro is willing.
Anyone who enters Gran Tesoro and inhales the Gold Powder can be transformed into an immovable "golden statue" by Tesoro using his [Gold-Gold Fruit] ability.
Certainly.
Under normal circumstances, Tesoro would not use this ability.
He is a businessman, and force is the last resort for solving problems.
However, this gold dust was ultimately influenced by Tesoro's Devil Fruit power.
The presence of these gold dust particles also allowed Tesoro to monitor any movement on this giant golden ship.
Almost at the very moment Yixiao logged in and used his ability to isolate himself from the corrosive effects of the Gold Powder.
Tesoro then sensed the presence of this "guest".
Among a bunch of fools corrupted by Gold Powder.
A special target, isolated from all gold dust, shone as brightly as a firefly in the dark.
However, Tesoro had no intention of doing anything to this guest.
The opponent is an enemy capable of sensing and shielding the power of the Gold Powder.
With just his abilities, Tesoro can roughly judge the opponent's strength level.
Faced with such a "strongman".
Tesoro would only offer a welcome; he would never actually try to drive them away.
However.
If any other uninvited guests want to cause trouble on Gran Tesoro.
Tesoro will definitely not let this go.
Ichisho's [Black Road Fire Wire], which I mentioned before, also translated as "Gambler's Fireline," is indeed Supreme Grade Sword.
One more chapter to come.
