"So, we've seen quite a few places. What do you all think of our Gran Tesoro?"
Baccarat looked at the crowd behind her and said with a smile.
"Luxurious! So luxurious!" Usopp exclaimed in amazement.
"Indeed! It's even tempting my thieving soul to get out there!"
Nami, standing nearby, also felt a pang of longing as she looked at these magnificent, golden buildings.
Although Xia Chen already said that much of the gold here would be rendered useless if it came into contact with seawater, wouldn't it be fine as long as it doesn't get wet?
She could easily get a lot of money by just taking a little bit of this and exchanging it for Beli.
"That won't do, Miss Nami! There are surveillance Den Den Mushi everywhere on the streets here; your every move will be under surveillance!"
"And stealing is not a good thing!"
"But Miss Nami, don't worry, Lord Tesoro said he'll give you a large sum of Beli as a gift when your pirate crew leaves!"
"A huge sum of Beli?"
Nami's eyes instantly transformed into the shape of Beli.
"Your host here is such a kind person! Why are you being so polite? Really!" Nami put her hand directly on Baccarat's shoulder, as if they were very familiar with each other.
The others also wore happy expressions.
After all, who wouldn't be happy to hear that someone is giving them a large sum of Beli?
Although they still have a lot of the gold they got from the Sky Island, no one would ever want to lose their Beli!
"Hey! Black Leg Sanji! Stop right there!"
Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind them, startling Sanji, who was looking around at the beautiful women.
"Huh? Who called me?"
Sanji turned around and saw a man with three tufts of purple hair running towards him while shouting.
Baccarat, sensing the situation, stopped her Turtle Rolls-Royce and turned to look at the crowd, appearing as if she were watching a spectacle unfold.
Sanji looked puzzled as he saw the man approaching.
He doesn't know this person!
"Who are you?"
"Phew~"
The man exhaled a breath of stale air and said:
"My name is Cracker, I'm from Big Mom Pirates, and I'd like to talk to you about something!"
" Big Mom Pirates??"
A gasp came from behind, and everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound.
"Um... you guys continue, don't worry about me!"
Baccarat looked slightly embarrassed and waved her hand at the crowd.
With so many people here, she's the only one making a fuss; it makes her look ridiculous!
But what can you do? Any normal person would scream upon hearing about Four Emperors pirate crew, right? This is a normal reaction for her!
Sanji was momentarily surprised when he heard the man say he was from the Big Mom Pirates, but only for a moment.
After all, their pirate crew has a higher status than them now.
"Hmm... What business does your pirate crew have with me?" Sanji asked casually.
"Our pirate crew plans to form a marriage alliance with your family, joining forces to Dominion!"
"And you are the marriage partner chosen by your family!"
"The marriage between the Big Mom Pirates Vinsmoke Family will definitely cause a huge upheaval in the world! At that time..."
"I'm not a member of the Vinsmoke Family!"
"If you want a marriage alliance, go find the person who has agreed to it, don't come looking for me!"
Cracker was interrupted by Sanji's loud shout before he could finish speaking.
" Sanji..."
The people behind him stared blankly at Sanji's back, sensing Sanji turmoil.
" The Vinsmoke Family? What connection does Sanji have with this family?" Robin stroked her chin, her tone slightly puzzled.
" Robin, do you know this family?" Nami asked curiously, and everyone else turned to look at her.
"Yes!" Robin nodded and said:
" The Vinsmoke Family! The most feared family in the North Blue; both the Navy and the World Government are afraid of them."
"Moreover, this family is royalty; they once controlled the entire North Blue by force, possessing no territory but still entitled to participate in Reverie!"
"Oh? It seems this family is quite powerful!"
Zoro smiled slightly and said calmly.
Cracker paused for a moment after hearing Sanji's words, then nodded.
"Okay! I understand!"
"Then I won't bother you any longer, goodbye!"
After saying that, Cracker turned and left without saying anything more.
"Um??"
Cracker's actions only confused everyone.
No, are you being so hasty? Aren't you going to offer some more advice?
Zoro glanced at Sanji and couldn't help but chuckle.
Curly Brows? What? Are you from the Vinsmoke Family?
"Don't you usually love women the most? Now there's a great opportunity for a marriage alliance right in front of you, and you're not going?"
"This isn't like you! If you really want to go, it's fine, it doesn't matter whether you're on the ship or not!"
" Moss Head, I think you've been itching for a kick from me for too long, haven't you? I'll kick you to death!"
With that, Sanji turned around and kicked Zoro.
He was already in a bad mood when he heard the Vinsmoke, and this Moss Head dared to mock him; he was asking for trouble!
As Baccarat watched the two men fight in the street, a few beads of sweat trickled down her forehead. She glanced at the others.
"Is it okay for the two of them to be like this?"
"It's okay! Don't worry about them, they've always been like this!" Nami waved her hand, then looked at Baccarat with shining eyes.
"By the way... which is the best casino around here? I'd like to check it out!"
"Ah! The best casino?"
"Okay, I'll take you to see it now!"
Baccarat placed her foot on the accelerator, turned to look at Zoro and Sanji who were still fighting, and asked:
"Where are the other two? Aren't they coming up?"
"It's alright! Don't worry about them! They'll come looking for us on their own!" Nami waved her hand dismissively.
"OK!"
Baccarat nodded, then stepped on the gas and sped off.
On the other side, Katakuri looked at Cracker with curiosity and asked, "Why did you come back after only exchanging a few words with them?"
"He said he didn't want to! So why did I say anything more?"
"Do you think I can force him?"
Cracker said, spreading his hands.
"Hmm..." Katakuri pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"In that case, we'll just report it truthfully to Mama when we get back!"
Actually, Katakuri didn't think the mission would succeed before he came; he was just trying it out.
"Boom!"
Just then, a loud roar came from not far away, and the two of them couldn't help but turn their gazes in that direction.
A thick plume of smoke rose from somewhere not far away.
A slight smile appeared on Cracker's lips.
"Looks like something fun is going to happen, Katakuri- san!"
"I'll go take a look!"
After saying that, Cracker ran off in that direction.
After glancing at it twice, Katakuri also ran in that direction; he could sense two powerful auras there...
