One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 368: Tezulo Harvests Golden Fruit

"My dear husband, Doflamingo is just as you said, a fat pig that can grow sustainably. He has good means to collect many devil fruits. We slaughter him from time to time and get a lot of money."

After hanging up the phone, Yadina said with a smile.

"He is indeed a good middleman. With his status, he is well connected with both the black and white worlds. Since he is doing business with us, we naturally have to keep him well. This way, we can get more benefits from him. But we can't drain the pond to catch fish all at once. We need to grasp the right balance."

Li Yuan touched his chin and said.

He slaughtered Doflamingo like a fat pig, but only cut off a piece of meat that was neither too big nor too small each time. Although it made Doflamingo feel distressed, it was not unacceptable. After all, Doflamingo did get the benefits he wanted from the Promise Pirates.

It can be said that the two parties had an open transaction, but what the Infinite Pirates got was much more than what they paid. Who made Doflamingo weak and the Infinite Pirates strong?
In the new world, this is the naked truth that the weak have no human rights!

"Yeah, I think so too. When he comes to the New World, he will definitely run into a wall. At that time, I will find someone to watch him in secret. As long as he doesn't die, it will be fine. At that time, he will work for our Wuji Pirates completely and be a tool for collecting devil fruits."

Yadina has been in charge of all matters of the Wuji Pirates for so many years, and has learned a lot of ways to control people.

The Venice Island of the Wuji Pirates has become one of the most lively and busiest islands in the Wuji Sea. After eight years of development, this island has become the most famous fighting island in the New World and even the whole world, without a doubt!

On this prosperous island, there is a large singing stage. This is a stage specially reserved by the Wuji Pirates for musicians and singers from all over the world to perform. Occasionally, when the Wuji Pirates organize some projects themselves, they will also use this stage to show them so that people all over the world will know about them.

Today the stage is full of people, and many of the audience came just for today's performance.

"Hey, man, is Miss Stella performing in this show?"

"Hahahahaha, brother, you finally came to the right time. Miss Stella is about to perform. I heard that Miss Stella has a new song, so I rushed here from the Grand Line!"

"Ms. Stella is my idol, hurry up, or there will be no room left if you don't go in!"

"."

Stella started performing on stage half a year ago. Initially, she performed in other places in the Wuji Sea. After accumulating a large enough number of fans and showing her beautiful and pleasant voice, she met the conditions to perform on this stage half a month ago.

At this moment, Stella was standing backstage very nervously, trying to calm her excitement.

"Stella, my love, you have to believe in yourself, you can do it!"

Tezulo cheered Stella on.

Two years ago, they were still in the hands of the hellish slave traders, but since they were rescued by Captain Li Yuan, they came to the Wuji Sea, which was like coming to heaven.

Here, Tesoro worked hard to grow in strength, and in just over half a year, he rose from a weakling to the level of a squad leader of the Infinity Pirates.

Then he followed the core cadre Qingjiao to learn physical skills, and it took him another year to grow into a team leader.

Today, Tesoro has learned the Six Styles of the Navy, Eight Punches, Armament Haki, and Observation Haki. Although he has only learned the basics, his strength can be said to be among the best among all the captains.

It was because Tesoro's strength won the recognition of many people in the Infinite Pirates, and with the core cadre Qingjiao standing behind Tesoro, Tesoro's status in the Infinite Pirates continued to rise.

Later, with the help of Tezoro, Stella picked up her dream again and performed in various shows in the Wuji Sea. Now she has become a singer and a star!
With her beautiful and melodious singing voice, Stella has become the dream lover of countless people.

"Well, Tezulo, I also believe that I can do it!"

When Stella saw Tesoro cheering for her, she suddenly felt full of strength and walked confidently from the back to the stage.

"Hi everyone, I'm Stella, thank you for coming to watch my show!"

"Next I will sing a new song called "We Are". It is a very passionate song. I hope you like it!"

Stella smiled confidently and began to briefly introduce herself and the song.

Then the accompaniment sounded, and Stella began to sing her song with her heavenly voice.

“They are the weakest
They don't even know
Anything they say
Will never break our hearts of gold
When you're standing on the edge
So young and hopeless
Got demons in your head
We are, we are
No ground beneath your feet Now here to hold you
"

As the accompaniment and singing began, the originally noisy stage audience suddenly became quiet.

The beautiful yet passionate song and Stella's beautiful figure on the stage, who looked like an angel, deeply attracted all the audience.

Everyone present was staring blankly at Stella dancing like a fairy on the stage. The melody, like the rough waves of the sea, pierced through the confusion in the hearts of countless people like a sharp sword, reminding them of their original dream of going to sea.

The audience seemed to be trapped in a dream space created by Stella's singing, where they galloped across the sea fearlessly, finally reaching the other side of the sea and realizing their deepest dreams.

Many people even shed tears while listening. "Thank you everyone!"

As the accompaniment ended, Stella's singing also stopped.

"Stella!"

"Stella!"

"Sing it again!"

"Sing it again!"

"."

After the initial silence, thunderous applause and cheers suddenly broke out from the audience.

Even after the song ended, they still couldn't recover from the shock for a long time.

“Thank you for your support, let’s sing it again!”

Stella felt the enthusiastic cheers from the crowd, and without being pretentious, she continued to sing again.

Anyway, she only has one hour to use the stage, and then she will sing other songs!

"Great, Stella succeeded!"

Tezulo stood behind the stage, deeply happy for his lover.

"Stella is indeed very successful, but I hope you can be even more successful, because you can't protect her with your current strength!"

A voice sounded from behind Tezulo.

"Captain, I will train harder, and one day I will become a cadre, or even a core cadre!"

Tezulo turned around and saw that it was Li Yuan, and said gratefully.

If Li Yuan hadn't saved them, they would have probably been separated from each other long ago, let alone living such a wonderful life like heaven in the Wuji Pirates.

"If you want to become a core cadre, it is far from enough to rely on hard work alone. You also need talent, time, and opportunity."

"Given your current conditions, it will take at least fifteen years for you to become a cadre, and your hope of becoming a core cadre is slim!"

Li Yuan shook his head.

It can be said that each of the core cadres of the Promise Pirates is comparable to the level of a navy admiral. It would be too difficult for Tesoro to become a core cadre relying solely on his domineering aura and physique.

After all, not everyone has the talent of Garp and Zephyr.

"Captain, although I know it's difficult, I will never give up. I will definitely become a core cadre, because only by becoming a core cadre can I truly have the power to completely protect my Stella!"

Tezulo said firmly.

Only after coming to the Promise Pirates and the New World did he realize how important strong strength is.

In the past, he was obsessed with wealth and thought that there was nothing in the world that could not be bought with money. But later he realized that the most important thing in the world is strength. Only with strong strength can one protect his wealth and the people he wants to protect.

"Very good eyes, your talent is not enough, then I will give you this talent, this is a superhuman type gold-gold fruit, which can control gold and turn all objects into gold temporarily. If it is developed to the extreme, it can even turn objects into gold permanently."

"This is a very powerful devil fruit, which is the talent I gave you. I hope that in the near future, I can see your name on the list of core cadres of the Wuji Pirates!"

Li Yuan vaguely felt the domineering aura of Tezoro and nodded.

As the owner of Conqueror's Haki, Tesoro has great talent. In the original work, he was able to develop the Gold-Gold Fruit to that level. Today, Tesoro will only be stronger than in the original work.

"Thank you, Captain. I will never let you down!"

When Tesoro saw the Gold-Gold Fruit, he felt as if it was destined. He felt that this devil fruit was very suitable for him!
"Come on!"

Li Yuan patted Tezulo on the shoulder and said.
