The group headed straight for the villa district in the town center. The house in the very center of the villa district was where Tesoro was located.
Kazu's Space Perception had been locking onto Tesoro's location for the past two days. He was also worried that Tesoro might sneak away, which would render their entire operation a waste.
That won't do.
The dragon looked around, nodding occasionally, thinking to himself, "This Tesoro is indeed a capable person. Even in the dragon's experience, this town is among the best."
But aren't there just too many sex workers and casinos?
Carlmand and the others simply didn't know what the dragon was thinking; otherwise, they would have grabbed the dragon by the collar and given it a warning.
I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!
The group wasn't in a hurry; Tesoro was right there and couldn't run away. It took them more than an hour to finally get there.
Welcome, welcome.
"It is our honor to have distinguished guests here."
Mr. Tanaka came out through the main gate with a smile when Kazu and his group arrived.
If a door can't be opened, then Tanaka has to use his Devil Fruit ability. It's clear that Tanaka really likes his Devil Fruit ability.
Kazu wasn't surprised at all when he saw that someone was waiting for them.
After all, they hadn't bothered to hide anything along the way; they just came to Tesoro and his group openly and brazenly.
This little bit of pretense might fool ordinary people, but a discerning eye would surely see through it long ago.
This is why Kazu kept a close eye on Tesoro, afraid he would escape.
Given that a notorious pirate like himself has come here and he has no idea what the other man is thinking, it would be wise for him to go away and hide for a few days.
"You're Tesoro's subordinate, aren't you? It seems he's prepared to meet with us as well."
"Lead the way."
Kazu recognized the person in front of him; he was a character who appeared in the movie, one of Tesoro's executives.
His appearance means Tesoro is already waiting for them inside. Just be prepared, because Kazu is going to kidnap him completely.
Look, he's even summoned the Revolutionary Army from the receiving side; they're determined to win this time.
Please come with me.
This time, Tanaka obediently opened the door, and everyone followed him in single file.
The villa's interior was also extremely luxurious, showing that Tesoro knew how to enjoy life.
The group went up to the second floor, opened a five-meter-high door on the left, and found themselves in a reception room.
The key figure this time— Tesoro —was sitting in the drawing room, smoking a cigar and drinking red wine, eagerly awaiting the arrival.
"It's truly a pleasant surprise to have such distinguished guests from the Blond Hair Pirates come all this way."
Tesoro put down his glass, stood up, and happily greeted him.
"My name is Gild Tesoro, and I am the mayor of this town."
"May I ask what brings you all here?"
"I'll do my best to help in any way I can."
"Please, everyone, take your seats. Let's enjoy the food and wine while we talk."
Snap snap snap~
After Tesoro finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and dozens of beautiful maids filed in through a side door carrying large and small platters, placing tempting dishes and expensive wines on the table.
Clearly, Tesoro had come prepared. After all, you can't hit someone who's all smiles. Even if he didn't know what Kazu and the others were up to, it was always good to provide them with good service beforehand.
"Hahaha, as expected of the man I value; his social skills are truly excellent."
No wonder you've been so successful here, developing this place so well.
"Let's go, don't let Tesoro's kindness go to waste."
Kazu was the first to arrive at his seat and plopped down in the head seat without any hesitation.
No one seemed to think there was anything wrong with it. Tesoro sat to Kazu's left, while Ryu sat to Kazu's right.
The dragon's behavior did catch Tesoro's attention.
He saw the dragon at first glance, but because the dragon was wearing a cloak and had its head slightly lowered, he couldn't see its face clearly.
However, he was able to replace Kazu's woman and a group of powerful figures such as Behrens, Carlmand, and Oulait to sit on Kazu's right, and no one objected.
This is quite intriguing.
It seems this person is quite an important figure.
Let's ask first and see what's going on. That way we can prepare ourselves mentally and maybe even figure out why Kazu and the others came to find him.
"I wonder who this person is..."
Tesoro looked in the direction of the dragon and asked in a very polite tone.
Seeing that there were no outsiders present, Long unabashedly removed the hood from his cloak, revealing his face, which was already world-famous.
"Who are you!!"
How could Tesoro not have seen the reports about the Revolutionary Army? As the leader of the Revolutionary Army, he naturally recognized Dragon at a glance.
