Instantly Defeat the World's Richest Man!

White Dragon Shichibukai

Tesoro instinctively stood up and looked at Tanaka, who was reporting the news, in disbelief.

That monster White Dragon... how did he end up in Gran Tesoro?

Because the White Dragon destroyed the Donquixote Family, he eliminated a major threat to Tesoro.

In a sense.

Tesoro was still very grateful to that Shichibukai.

However, "thank you" does not mean that Tesoro wants to make formal contact with the White Dragon!

White Dragon's rise to fame was both too short and too fast.

The world's impression of the "White Dragon" mainly comes from his numerous battles.

According to Tesoro's knowledge, White Dragon defeated three of the Shichibukai: Sand Crocodile, the King of Lizards, and the Heavenly Yaksha.

Especially the King of Lizards and the Heavenly Yaksha.

These two individuals, along with their affiliated organizations, were almost entirely eradicated by White Dragon!

The only exception is Sand Crocodile and Baroque Works.

Nobody knows why the Sand Crocodile was able to escape from the White Dragon's grasp...

Even Tesoro was unaware of the full story.

But one thing is certain about Tesoro --

White Dragon is absolutely a very, very, very dangerous guy!

Could it be that the White Dragon wanted to visit Gran Tesoro, the world's largest entertainment city, because of its splendor and luxury?

The thought only flashed through Tesoro's mind for a moment.

"Tanaka! Go and make arrangements with your subordinates! Have them prepare a top-level reception banquet as quickly as possible!"

Tesoro quickly gave the order to Tanaka, and then he walked to the top of the central Golden Pagoda.

Judging from the perspective of "importance".

White Dragon was definitely the most important "guest" Gran Tesoro had received in the past few days.

Regardless of the other party's intentions.

Tesoro is now only interested in avoiding conflict with the White Dragon.

He doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of Donquixote Doflamingo!

"They've come with ill intentions!"

Gran Tesoro, a casino.

The casino, which should have been bustling with activity, was now so quiet that only the crisp sound of dice clattering could be heard.

Click! Click!

All eyes in the room were focused on the blind man who was shaking the dice cup.

Yi Xiao held the dice cup with both hands, shook it three times gently, and then placed it on the table.

"Open..."

"Open..."

"Open it!!"

The gamblers around him seemed to have their eyes glued to the dice cup beside Yi Xiao and the mountain of chips piled up there.

But Yixiao showed no intention of conforming to the opinions of those around her.

He put down the dice cup, picked up the money bag, ignoring the mountain of chips beside him, and instead picked up the unremarkable Supreme Grade Sword [Black Road Fire Wire] leaning against the side.

Let's stop here for today.

Yi Xiao stood up, gripping [Black Road Fire Wire] as if it were a guide cane, and walked calmly towards the casino entrance.

The gamblers in the casino were all stunned by Yi Xiao's actions.

Everyone turned to look at the dealer.

But the dealer was also looking at another person— Baccarat, dressed as a bunny girl, standing next to Yixiao.

"Guest."

Seeing that Yixiao wanted to leave the casino, Baccarat remembered Tesoro's previous instructions and quickly followed beside him.

"Where else would you like to go? I'm a hostess in Gran Tesoro, and I know every corner of this world's largest entertainment metropolis by heart!"

"No need, Miss who brought me 'luck'."

With a smile, he continued walking steadily toward the casino entrance.

"It's been a long time since I've won so decisively."

"Despite your ulterior motives, I am still very grateful for your help."

"You can handle the chips I just won on the table."

Lucky?

Baccarat was slightly taken aback, and her heart was instantly filled with horror.

This seemingly ordinary, blind, overweight man had actually "seen through" her Devil Fruit ability.

Tesoro's order was for this blind, fat man to "make a fortune" in Gran Tesoro...

Baccarat, forcing herself to smile, followed suit.

"Guest..."

"Miss."

He smiled and walked out of the casino, looking up at the sky.

"It might not be safe here later, you should find somewhere to hide."

Unsafe?

Baccarat instinctively wanted to refute.

But when she smiled and looked up at the sky, she saw the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the sky.

All the rebuttals were instantly swallowed by Baccarat.

"The Shichibukai... White Dragon..."

Yi Xiao gripped the Sword Cane [Black Road Fire Wire] tightly in his hand, his expression slightly darkening.

"So it really was him!"

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon roamed freely in the skies above the New World.

Storm stood atop the dragon's head, looking down at the giant golden ship on the sea below.

"This is 'Gran Tesoro'? It's just as huge as I remember!"

Storm has seen quite a few "large ships".

He even personally traded several large naval warships.

However, even the largest naval warships look like toy boats compared to the Gran Tesoro on the sea.

The Thriller Bark in the Devil's Triangle was also enormous in size.

However, despite bearing the name "sailboat," the "Thriller Bark" was actually converted from an island.

But the Gran Tesoro on the sea below is a real "man-made behemoth"!

"If we're only talking about size, perhaps only Noah on Fish-Man Island can surpass Gran Tesoro in terms of volume?"

Several thoughts flashed through Storm's mind.

"Perhaps the Ancient Weapon [Pluton] hidden in Wano Country is also a super-large ship, but this cannot be confirmed at the moment..."

Storm suppressed his distracting thoughts and manipulated the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to approach Gran Tesoro.

And at this time...

A change in shape occurred at the top of the central Golden Pagoda of Gran Tesoro.

A staircase made entirely of gold grew from the top of the central Golden Pagoda and stretched all the way up to the sky.

A golden ladder to heaven!

On the very top step of this golden stairway to heaven stood a tall man with a full head of green hair and an exaggerated smile on his face.

Storm recognized the other person immediately.

Gild Tesoro Tesoro!

"White Dragon! I am Gild Tesoro!"

Tesoro spread his arms and shouted to Storm from afar.

Welcome to my Gran Tesoro!

"Gild Tesoro."

Storm stood atop the head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, gazing at Gild Tesoro across from him.

"Nice to meet you, I am Vongola Storm."

Upon hearing this, Tesoro's deliberately businesslike smile suddenly became more genuine.

He was genuinely worried that the White Dragon's arrival in Gran Tesoro was to cause him trouble...

However, judging from the other party's attitude, this Shichibukai doesn't seem to be as "belligerent" as the legends suggest...

"Gran Tesoro has finally welcomed a heavyweight guest!"

Tesoro extended the invitation in a very generous manner.

"White Dragon, come down and have some fun! I've already arranged for my men to prepare a banquet!"

"Let's not rush into banquets and entertainment."

Storm stared at Tesoro, his calm expression sending a shiver down the latter's spine.

"Gild Tesoro, are you interested in the 'Pirate Emperor'?"

"... What?"

Tesoro was stunned, and immediately began to doubt his own ears.

What is White Dragon trying to do?

"I've come to the New World this time to make contact with those 'Pirate Emperor' and, while I'm at it, seize another piece of territory."

Storm extended the invitation openly and honestly.

Would you like to come here?

Gild Tesoro Tesoro.

Even disregarding the opponent's skill level.

This guy is really good at making money and managing the economy!

For this reason, Storm is still quite interested in Gilder Tesoro.

His Storm Pirates also lack this kind of "professional".

Tesoro finally understood what Storm meant.

"... You want to recruit me? And then go together to fight the Pirate Emperor?"

Tesoro's exaggerated smile now carried a hint of sarcasm.

"I'm so sorry, but I have no intention of being subservient to anyone!"

"I'm just an ordinary businessman; I have no interest in fighting and killing."

If what arrives in Gran Tesoro is the "Red Dragon Emperor" instead of the "White Dragon".

So Tesoro, gritting his teeth, might still choose to temporarily board the Red Dragon Emperor's ship.

After all, the Red Dragon Emperor was a peerless warrior who had genuinely defeated both the Fleet Admiral and the Pirate Emperor.

But what about the White Dragon?

The opponent has only ever defeated a few of the Shichibukai.

Sand Crocodile, King of Lizards, Heavenly Yaksha...

Can these oddballs be compared to the Buddha Form or Red-Haired?

According to Tesoro

White Dragon is very strong.

But he's not on the same level of strength as the "Pirate Emperor".

Go "challenge" the Pirate Emperor together?

The risk is just too great!

The risks and rewards are completely disproportionate!

There is absolutely no need for any "investment"!

Tesoro must be out of his mind.

Otherwise.

He would absolutely not go to "make contact" with the Pirate Emperor with White Dragon.

Whitebeard, Beasts, Big Mom, Red-Haired...

Which of these four monsters is easy to get along with?

"That's truly a shame..."

Storm sighed.

"It seems I'll have to train another 'Gild Tesoro' willing to act alongside me..."

Can we cultivate another Gild Tesoro?

Tesoro's mockery grew even stronger.

Just as he was about to say something, a thick, black-red arc of electricity suddenly burst forth from the White Dragon's body.

The black and red arc of electricity, carrying an unparalleled sense of oppression and impact, traversed the sky above Gran Tesoro, arriving in front of Tesoro in an instant, like a bolt of lightning chasing after light.

Boom!!

The black and red arcs of electricity formed by the Nine-Star [Conqueror's Haki] directly enveloped Tesoro.

An incredibly powerful shockwave swept through Tesoro's mental world, engulfing and ravaging it like a super storm.

Tesoro felt his mind instantly go blank.

The renowned Gild Tesoro suddenly rolled his eyes back, lost consciousness, and fainted on the golden stairway to heaven that he had just created.

A seven-star Big Trophy surrounded by stars appeared before Storm's eyes.

[The Star Trophy: Gild Tesoro, the Gild Tesoro]

[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★★]

'Nine-Star Conqueror's Haki can indeed stun a seven-star powerhouse with a single glance...'

Storm raised an eyebrow as he looked at the unconscious Tesoro.

'But I still feel like this Gild Tesoro is a bit too lame...'

Storm shook his head and put away the seven-star Big Trophy.

Now is not the time to use the [Star Trophy].

Ignoring the unconscious Gild Tesoro, Storm turned his gaze to another burly figure soaring into the sky.

He wore a purple robe, carried a wooden cane, was blind, and had a crisscross-shaped scar on his forehead.

"I never expected to meet you in Gran Tesoro..."

Storm watched the wild, fat tiger take flight, a pleased smile spreading across his face.

"Chivalrous smile!"

Actually, Calvin.

Um.

I sat down at my computer at 5 PM, and it started lagging...

Feel sorry...

Besides.
