Few Could Keep Secrets from Him
As expected, Gild Tesoro's true intentions were quite clear. At least for now, he didn't want Moke to take immediate action against him. For Moke, this situation was exactly what he wanted. After all, the Marine Headquarters hadn't officially announced Ace's execution yet, so he needed to patiently wait for the right opportunity. Thinking of this, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Moke's face.
Just then, everyone's gaze fell upon the exquisite box in Mr. Tanaka's hand. Mr. Tanaka, smiling, seemed to have anticipated this reaction, and quickly added, "Please look, everyone. Inside are two extremely precious Zoan Devil Fruit, carefully collected by Lord Gild Tesoro. One is the Mythical Zoan you just successfully bid on; and the other is this one before you—a Zoan - Ancient Zoan - Bloodthirsty Vajra Form Fruit."
Upon hearing this name, everyone present gasped. "Ancient Zoan - Bloodthirsty Kong Form???" Some people gaped in astonishment, momentarily speechless with shock.
Standing to the side, Moke's eyes widened in disbelief. He subconsciously touched the Zoan -type Panther-Panther Fruit he had finally managed to acquire in his pocket, and suddenly it didn't seem so appealing anymore. Compared to the Zoan Ancient Zoan - Bloodthirsty Vajra Form Fruit before him, the Panther-Panther Fruit was utterly insignificant!
Moke stood there, his brow furrowed slightly, pondering what might happen if Weevil ate the Devil Fruit. He knew this Devil Fruit was no ordinary fruit; it was an extremely rare and powerful Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit. If Weevil were to devour it and successfully fuse with its power, the resulting effects would undoubtedly be astonishing and shocking to the world.
Moke couldn't help but imagine Weevil gaining his new power. Even someone as powerful as Ryokugyu would likely feel a deep headache and helplessness when facing Weevil with such immense strength. After all, the power granted by this Devil Fruit from ancient times far exceeded the realm of ordinary people's imagination.
Thinking of this, Moke could no longer suppress his amazement and exclaimed again, "Truly worthy of being Gild Tesoro! This legendary richest man in the pirate world lives up to his name! He can casually produce a Mythical Zoan and an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit; such generosity is unbelievable! And in my opinion, given his unfathomable wealth and immense power, he definitely possesses far more than just these two Devil Fruits!"
Moke became increasingly convinced that his guess was very likely to come true. Especially considering Gild Tesoro's obsession with all kinds of rare items, how could he be satisfied with just collecting a few Devil Fruit? Especially with the Paramecia Devil Fruit, which has a wide variety of types and functions, there was no reason for Gild Tesoro not to include them in his collection.
"That's right, there must be even more Paramecia Devil Fruit hidden in his possession." Moke muttered to himself with great certainty. "After all, Zoan Devil Fruit obviously cannot fully demonstrate his unparalleled wealth and strength." It is conceivable that if someone were to glimpse Gild Tesoro's entire collection, they would be utterly astonished by the dazzling array of Devil Fruit.
