A New Target! Golden Emperor Gild Tesoro

"Gurararara! Have those kids left yet?" The Whitebeard, still recovering from a hangover, rubbed his head and asked Marco beside him.

"They're gone! But why didn't you invite them to join our Whitebeard Pirates, Pops? Fresh blood with such talent is hard to come by!" Marco, somewhat puzzled.

"Do you really think that a kid who wants to become the King of the Pirates would be willing to depend on others? Gurararara! I see the shadow of an old friend in him!" Whitebeard laughed loudly, then picked up the sake jug next to him and rinsed his mouth.

"Even you, Pops, think so highly of him?" Marco was taken aback. That young lad, though highly talented, possessed a unique charm! Well, he really might find the legendary One Piece and become the King of the Pirates!

"It's not that I'm optimistic, it's just a gut feeling! But whatever, it doesn't really matter, right? So what if he's the King of the Pirates? I'm Whitebeard!" Whitebeard didn't care at all. He was on par with Roger, so why would he care about the treasure he left behind?

As for what the World Government wants to hide, ha, even a fool could figure it out! It's nothing more than some ugly, shameful things!

"Oh, right, Pops, Teach has taken those guys out again, saying he's looking for some powerful allies. I don't know what he's thinking. He finally comes back, why doesn't he stay a few more days?" Marco muttered.

Last time, Estitch, Sachi, and Teach went together, but this time Teach is leading Lafitte and the rest of the group! Good grief, none of you are taking me on your trip! Don't you have any conscience?

"Gurararara! Looks like we need to get ready too! Marco, go get Ace and the rest of the guys! I've decided to give you guys some hellish training!" Whitebeard's eyes gleamed, and the smirk on his lips gave Marco an ominous feeling...

On an unnamed sea

"Captain, why are you suddenly being so generous? You're actually taking us to Gran Tesoro! That's the legendary Golden City! A paradise in the hearts of countless people!" Fakyu kept babbling in Teach's ear, clearly having longed for the Golden City for a long time!

"What do you like about that place?" Teach suppressed his anger and looked at Fakyu with a kind expression.

"Of course, there are all kinds of entertainment options and countless beautiful women! Enjoy gambling to your heart's content, and even if you lose, it doesn't matter! Just take some things with you when you leave!" Fakyu's mouth was already drooling. Just thinking about that magnificent city made of gold made him a little excited!

Teach:...

"Hahaha! What a brilliant idea! Captain, I support you!" Teach shook his head helplessly. What's wrong? So you're still craving more after that raid on Marine HQ? But then again, with so much gold, wouldn't it be better to make a killing?

"Captain, our target this time is that guy called Gild Tesoro, right?" As the strategist of the Blackbeard Pirates, Laffitte naturally didn't believe that his captain was going through all this trouble and sailing so far just to relax!

"That's right! Relaxing is just a side thing! What we need most is that talent, Golden Ti! More precisely, we need his financial support!" Teach said slowly.

Although the Whitebeard Pirates are the most powerful pirate crew, they actually don't have much money! After all, their sources of income are very limited, unlike the other Four Emperors who collect protection money from local residents! Their economic resources consist only of daily robberies and a few meager shops!

While this money was enough for their daily expenses, it became an indispensable factor in facing an attack from the World Government! Weapons and ammunition were extremely expensive, not to mention the construction work on the island! As for the supplies brought back from Marine HQ? Most of them had already been used up! Truly, even a hero can be brought down by a lack of funds!

"Gild Tesoro, the Gild Tesoro, is said to have been an ordinary slave over 20 years ago! But by chance, he obtained the Paramecia Gold-Gold Fruit! With his business acumen, he amassed 20% of the world's Beli in just 20 years! His immense wealth even allowed him to manipulate some Celestial Dragons!" The information Laffitte and the others knew was naturally far less than Teach of Teach, a transmigrator! After all, the question from his previous life, "Did I allow you to laugh?" had left an indelible impression on him!

"So, Captain, how do we persuade him to join our side? Should we kill him or threaten him with force?" Shitt had been rather aloof, finally spoke up. Goodness, you're really violent!

"Hey! We're civilized people! Fighting and killing isn't good! Don't worry! I'll use my unique charm to persuade him! He'll definitely join us willingly!" Teach laughed smugly. He had money but weak fighting skills, and he also had an indelible hatred! As long as he was offered a condition that Teach couldn't refuse, then Teach couldn't refuse!

"Uh, Captain! I think we should take down the Empress first! Once we get the Love-Love Fruit, your charm will probably start to shine..." Fakyu looked at his captain's unique appearance—no, Captain, where does your confidence come from?

Teach:...

A disturbing image suddenly flashed through Teach's mind: himself, heavily pregnant, standing there, narcissistically shouting at his enemy, "Hehehehe! I'll be forgiven for anything I do! Because I'm just too handsome! Hehehehe! Big, stinky feet!"

"Ugh!" I can't take it anymore, this image is a bit too much for my eyes! How did such a brilliant image even appear in my head?

"Fakyu!!!" Teach couldn't hold back any longer. He stood up, grabbed Fakyu's head, and reached into the Dark Space with his other hand. After groping around for a moment, he pulled out a long iron chain!

"Captain, you really should consider my suggestion! Trust me! With your charm, anyone who sees you will be petrified! Captain, what are you doing?!"

Half a minute later

Fakyu was bound tightly from head to toe; those long iron chains were tied to his body without leaving a trace!

"What are you doing? Hahaha! This is the captain's way of showing you favor! Giving you extra training all by yourself! How about it? Be grateful!" Teach took out another iron chain, threaded it through Fakyu's body, and Teach the other end to the stern of the ship!

"Let's go! Intensive training! Hold your breath for half an hour!" Teach kicked Fakyu into the sea. Without a doubt, Fakyu would be spending his time in the ocean before reaching the Golden City...
