While the Liberator Organization gained control of the Donquixote Family.

Sabaody Archipelago.

Inside a low-rise residential house.

A middle-aged man with green hair looked at a book in his hands and muttered to himself, "Where exactly are you?"

Suddenly, a sleazy-looking young man burst into the room. "Boss Tesoro, Donquixote's auction house has been closed for the past few days."

"Have you found out anything?" Tesoro's eyes flashed.

"No." The young man shook his head awkwardly.

Tesoro didn't blame his underling for this, after all, the Donquixote Family's power was not something a small thug could easily fathom.

He turned to another underling. " Feili, have you found any trace of the Liberator Organization?"

The bald man named Feili shook his head awkwardly. "I'm sorry, I've already instructed my men to keep an eye out for intelligence on this, but the Liberator Organization elusive, and even the Navy and the World Government can't do anything about them. We can only try our luck."

Tesoro closed the book. He knew, of course, that the Liberator Organization was unstable, but he didn't want to give up. He was very clear that if he wanted to take revenge on the Celestial Dragons, joining the Liberator Organization was the best option.

If even the Liberator Organization can't defeat the Celestial Dragons, then there's even less chance he could join another faction.

Fate is truly wondrous.

Tesoro's decision to join the Liberator Organization was based on the Liberator Organization's formidable strength and the intellectual Awakening brought about by its series of books.

In the original timeline, Tesoro could only rely on himself, so he had to steal Doflamingo's Gold-Gold Fruit and become the Gild Tesoro.

Now he has a better option.

Just as Tesoro was racking his brains...

There was a knock on the door.

Clang!

"Who?"

"Security investigation."

Tesoro frowned, then gestured to his underling to open the door.

creak...

The wooden door slowly opened.

A middle-aged man in a police officer's uniform stood at the door. "Please show your residence permits and ID cards."

Tesoro remained completely calm, taking out his forged identification and handing it over.

Just then, a gust of wind swept past the three of them.

The two henchmen instantly rolled their eyes back and collapsed to the ground.

The wooden door closed slowly.

Tesoro was also sweating profusely, and involuntarily took a step back. "Who... who are you?"

"I heard you're looking for the Liberator Organization?" The middle-aged man took out a dog mask and put it on.

Upon seeing the mask, Tesoro's pupils constricted sharply: 'It's someone from CP!?'

However, he quickly realized that although he was looking for the Liberator Organization, he had not told his underlings that he wanted to join it. There were many forces on the high seas that were looking for the Liberator Organization Liberator Organization.

Realizing what was happening, Tesoro quickly bowed and scraped, saying, "I am indeed looking for traces of the Liberator Organization. After all, any clue can earn me a bounty of 100 million Beli."

"Oh? I thought you wanted to join the Liberator Organization."

Tesoro's heart tightened, but he shook his head frantically, saying, "How could that be? I just want to make a little money."

"That's good, you can go die now."

"What?"

Tesoro's vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.

A short while later.

When he awoke, he found himself in a room made of rock.

Outside the room, Enel pushed open the door and entered.

Tesoro looked at the person in front of him with a hint of fear and unease. "You're not a couple, who are you?"

Enel has borrowed Nue's ability, Observation Haki, which allows him to distinguish between good and evil, and has enveloped Tesoro in it.

Fear, doubt, murderous intent, escape, hatred, resentment...

A complex mix of emotions filled Tesoro's heart.

Why investigate the Liberator Organization?

"Of course, it's for the bounty..."

'Of course, it's to join the Liberator Organization...'

"I see!" Enel raised an eyebrow and continued, "What are your thoughts on the Celestial Dragons?"

"What?" Tesoro was taken aback, looking at Enel with a strange expression, before replying somewhat insincerely:

"I have great admiration and envy for the Celestial Dragons..."

'I wish I could kill all the Celestial Dragons...'

Enel gave the man a long look. "Interested in joining CP? We need talent like you."

"Join CP?"

'Joining CP? Should I? No, I'm a Celestial Dragons's slave. If CP finds out, I'll definitely be enslaved again. But if I refuse, will it anger CP?'

Tesoro was torn between his feelings and his inner turmoil.

Enel continued questioning, and after a dozen or so questions, he had basically figured out Tesoro's situation.

Mary, who had been standing at the door, had already written the assessment report. Enel came out and checked it again before the two of them signed it to confirm that it had passed the initial security audit.

What should we do with this guy?

"Send Donquixote Family for secret training for a while. I'm going to the South Blue. You take him to the West Blue!" After Mary finished speaking, she used the Escape Passage Card and disappeared into the secret base in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Enel shrugged and reopened the door.

Tesoro's unease grew stronger.

Before long, Tesoro and a dozen or so of his underlings were packed up and thrown into the Donquixote Family's secret base in the West Blue.

After a dizzying sensation, Tesoro finally regained his senses and fell into deep thought, because the feeling he had just experienced was as if he had suddenly passed through a dark passage.

He looked around blankly. "Where am I?"

"Boss, are you alright?"

Where is this place?

The dozen or so henchmen were also somewhat panicked.

A short while later, the door opened again.

This time, however, the person who appeared was not Enel, but Pica.

Tesoro looked very surprised and puzzled when he saw Pica there.

" Tesoro, this is your file. Take a look at it yourself!"

Completely bewildered, Tesoro took the file. As soon as he opened the first page, his face turned grim, and his body began to tremble.

"Why? How do you know all this?"

Pica took out a bottle of Rum and took a sip. "You really think your disguise can fool everyone?"

"Heh... The Donquixote Family, I see. So Doflamingo is also Celestial Dragons?" Tesoro's expression was somewhat hysterical.

"Wrong, the Donquixote Family is now a subordinate branch of the Liberator Organization."

"What?!" Tesoro's eyes widened. "This is impossible! The Liberator Organization would never accept a Celestial Dragons!"

"Because it's impossible, it's possible." Pica downed his Rum in one gulp.

"Why?"

"Because the real Doflamingo is dead, and so is the original owner of this body."

Upon hearing this, Tesoro's mind went blank. He looked at Pica with disbelief and astonishment. "You actually controlled the Donquixote Family?"

"Don't worry, you still have a chance to reform your thinking. Only those villains who are completely unreformable will be transformed into Apostle."

"..." Tesoro didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"After reviewing your file, you can choose whether or not to join the Liberator Organization. If you refuse, I will send you to the Kingdom of Dawn to live as an ordinary person."

However, Tesoro made his choice without hesitation. "I want to join the Liberator Organization, even if it means dying for it, I'm willing."

I hope you won't regret it.
