Doflamingo replied:
The actual number is likely to be more, if not more.
" Tesoro boasts the world's largest entertainment complex, Gran Tesoro."
"It was a giant ship made of gold, a Gold City that could move on the sea."
"Once you enter that place, you'll see gold everywhere."
Nami's breathing quickened.
Gold-Gold Fruit.
Gold City.
There are also 20 percent of the world's Beli.
This is no longer just being rich in the ordinary sense.
In the past, when she was making gold, she needed to constantly control her energy to ensure purity and stability.
If one obtains the Gold-Gold Fruit, one can directly control existing gold.
More importantly, Tesoro himself possessed an immeasurable fortune.
Taking away his power is equivalent to simultaneously obtaining the Gold-Gold Fruit and the Gold City.
Nami immediately pressed for an answer:
Where is Gulan Tesoro now?
Doflamingo dared not hide it.
He described the sea area where the Gold City was located and the nearest shipping routes.
" Nami."
Is this intelligence satisfactory to you?
"Very satisfied."
Nami's smile returned.
You did a good job this time.
"When Uchiha Xin returns, I'll put in a good word for you."
Doflamingo completely relaxed.
"Thank you Nami."
The call has ended.
Nami put down the Den Den Mushi and immediately pulled out a sea chart.
Based on the location provided by Doflamingo, she quickly found Gran Tesoro's flight path.
Hancock sat beside her, watching her.
"My husband told us to stay behind."
You want to go to the Gold City?
"Certainly."
Nami did not deny it.
"That's twenty percent of the world's Beli."
"And there's the Gold-Gold Fruit, which allows you to manipulate gold."
Hancock refused outright.
"I'm not going."
"My husband didn't let us leave."
Nami walked over and sat down next to her.
"We are only temporarily leaving the waters Wano Country."
"Come back after you get the Gold-Gold Fruit."
It won't take much time.
That won't work either.
Hancock looked towards Wano Country.
"My husband, hand over the Thunder Emperor to me."
"I must stay here and wait for him."
Nami had expected her to say that.
Don't you want to do something for him?
Hancock frowned slightly.
"What's the meaning?"
" The Gold-Gold Fruit is very useful."
Nami pointed to the Thunder Emperor beneath her feet.
"Whether it's expanding the Thunder Emperor Corps or developing the Sky Island, we'll need a lot of wealth in the future."
"Which power —the World Government, the Navy, or the Four Emperors —doesn't need money?"
"If we take over Gold City, it will be tantamount to seizing all the wealth that Tesoro has built up over many years."
Hancock did not waver.
"If my husband wants it, he will naturally go and get it himself."
"He doesn't need to get involved in such a small matter."
Nami immediately chimed in.
" Uchiha Xin has to deal with Wano Country and participate in the Paramount War."
"We can't expect him to do everything himself."
"Let's take down the Gold City, and when he returns, we'll give him the Gold-Gold Fruit directly."
"This isn't disobeying orders; I'm doing him a favor."
Hancock fell silent.
Nami continued:
"And the Thunder Emperor is so fast."
"With all fifty-nine members of the Thunder Emperor Corps unleashing lightning together, their speed far surpasses that of ordinary pirate ships."
"Once we confirm the location of Gold City, we'll be there soon."
"Get the stuff and come right back."
Hancock glanced at her.
"Do you want the Gold-Gold Fruit, or Tesoro's wealth?"
"I want them both."
Nami answered without the slightest hesitation.
"I haven't fully mastered the power bestowed upon me by Uchiha Xin yet."
"I'm not entirely confident I can handle Tesoro alone."
That's why I need you to come along.
"You're in charge of the fight."
"I'm in charge of finding the vault."
Hancock looked towards Wano Country again.
She was indeed unwilling to disobey Uchiha Xin's order to stay behind.
But Nami's words make sense.
The Paramount War is about to begin.
Uchiha Xin doesn't need to waste his time on Tesoro.
If we can capture the Gold City before he returns, it will be a way to expand his power.
Moreover, the combat power on the Thunder Emperor is strong enough.
Even if they encounter enemies along the way, they will not be easily held back.
Hancock finally stood up.
"Just once."
"Obtain the Gold-Gold Fruit and return immediately."
Nami laughed on the spot.
"No problem."
She quickly returned to the helm and unfolded the nautical chart.
"Everyone, prepare to set sail!"
The members of the Thunder Emperor Corps all stopped training.
Marguerite came over.
" Your Pirate Empress, are we not waiting for our master?"
"Go to Gulan Tesoro first."
Hancock said:
"Take a Devil Fruit, then return here."
Marguerite didn't ask any further questions.
"Clear."
The fifty-nine members of the Thunder Emperor Corps dispersed to various parts of the ship.
Bolts of lightning were released from their bodies.
The lightning flowed along the ship's special structure, quickly connecting the entire Thunder Emperor.
This is the propulsion system left behind when Uchiha Xin modified the hull.
All members of the Thunder Emperor Corps can unleash lightning.
Once their power enters the hull, it can replace wind and ocean currents, directly propelling the Thunder Emperor at full speed.
boom!
Seawater burst open from the stern of the ship.
The Thunder Emperor surged forward instantly.
Nami grabbed the rudder and adjusted the ship's direction according to the nautical chart.
Hancock stood at the bow of the ship.
The lightning continued to strike the ship's hull, affecting the fifty-nine people.
The ship's speed continued to increase.
What would take an ordinary pirate ship several days to traverse, the Thunder Emperor could do in a very short time.
Its speed far exceeds that of the vast majority of ships in the world.
The Thunder Emperor departed the Wano Country and sped towards Gran Tesoro's Gold City.
Uchiha Xin, who was in Wano Country, was completely unaware of this matter.
Wano Country is located deep within the New World.
It is surrounded by high mountains, and the open sea is dotted with waterfalls and turbulent currents.
This place is not affiliated with World Government, and outsiders are not allowed to enter freely.
Ordinary ships have difficulty even entering the country.
Wano Country has never lacked strong individuals.
Swordsmanship is prevalent here, there are many warriors, and it is also one of the main sources of Seastone.
But the people who control this country now are not the Kozuki Clan.
It was actually Kurozumi Orochi.
More than twenty years ago, Kurozumi Orochi joined forces with Kaido to kill Kozuki Oden and seize power in Wano Country.
After that, he built a large number of military factories in the country.
Wastewater is polluting rivers.
Factories exploit the people.
Many villages are lacking food, and even clean drinking water cannot be guaranteed.
Kurozumi Orochi, however, lived in the Flower Capital, spending his days drinking and making merry.
The people have long since lost all support across the country.
Uchiha Xin didn't care about any of these things.
Is Kurozumi Orochi dead or alive?
How are the people of Wano Country faring?
None of this has anything to do with him.
He came here not to avenge the Kozuki Clan, nor to save Wano Country.
After entering Wano Country, Uchiha Xin did not immediately go to Onigashima.
He concealed his aura and entered the Flower Capital directly.
Lanterns were hung on both sides of the street.
Taverns, teahouses, and theaters are everywhere.
This is the most prosperous place in Wano Country.
