One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 246: Tezulo's Ambition
"Clang!" Yingju and Muku collided with Ye for the last time and completely bounced him off. The two swords crossed in front of Mihawk's throat like scissors.

"Hahahahaha, it's been a long time since I had such a satisfying sword fight. You're pretty good, kid." The Golden Lion laughed and moved the two swords away from Mihawk.

"I lost." Mihawk also put away the night and bowed to the golden lion.

"Indeed, judging from the result of the competition, you did lose, but if we only talk about kendo, I didn't actually beat you. Boy, you are not domineering, right?" Golden Lion nodded, then shook his head and said.

"I've heard of it and seen it, but I've never really learned it." Mihawk did not hide anything and told the truth.

"That's not surprising. I can feel that you have already touched the edge of domineering. However, because you have not learned systematically, you are just one step away from the final step. What you need to do next is not to improve your swordsmanship, but to learn domineering. Who taught you swordsmanship?" Jinzi asked, rubbing his chin.

"I don't know my master's name. He just introduced me to the art, then gave me a torn notebook and died," said Mihawk.

"Sure enough, most of the moves you just performed should be understood by yourself, but some of the moves are a little awkward. The reason why they feel awkward is that they need to be used in conjunction with domineering. You haven't learned domineering yet, so it's a little awkward to use them. As for swordsmanship, there's nothing I can teach you anymore. You have already walked your own path, and any advice from others has lost its effect on you. To be honest, you are the most talented person in swordsmanship that I have ever seen. At the same age, I am not as talented as you." Golden Lion admitted it straightforwardly without any hesitation, because it didn't make him feel ashamed. This might be the feeling of being surpassed by a younger generation, which is not bad.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Mihawk saluted respectfully, which was a respect for the Golden Lion's strength and a thank you for the advice just given.

"Let's go. Tesoro should have finished talking with Newgate and the others. We must have a drink next. Hahahaha!" The Golden Lion laughed and flew towards the Moby Dick with Mihawk.

At this time, the situation was similar to what Golden Lion had thought. Tesoro had indeed almost finished the talk. It must be said that both parties benefited a lot from this conversation. Tesoro's bold plan made the Beast Think Tank headed by Fato shine, and Fato and others' solid knowledge of economics also allowed Tesoro, an economics genius who came from a wild background, to learn a lot. If the two parties had not been in contact through Den Den Mushi, these economics geniuses would have wanted to accept Tesoro as their apprentice on the spot. This kind of person really suits the tastes of these old guys.

"Hahahaha, okay, it's settled then. Come to our place when you have time, Tezolo." Fatto's voice ended the conversation, and with Tezolo's assurance, both parties hung up the phone.

"Hahahahaha, what's the situation, kid?" The Golden Lion flew back to the deck of the Moby Dick and asked.

"It went smoothly, Captain. Mr. Fato and his team helped me fill the loopholes in my plan. We can do two things at the same time and don't have to be limited to one path. We can try out our new banknotes on a small scale in internal transactions to confirm the problems. At the same time, we can roll out our external plans. Their ideas gave me an idea. We can follow the example of the Baique chain and create a legal white glove. We can also go a step further and create a legal maritime kingdom!" The gleam in Tezoro's eyes appeared again as it did at the auction. It was a mixture of ambition and dreams.

"Legal maritime kingdom? What tricks do you have?" Golden Lion had accepted Tezoro's tricks from time to time, but this time he really didn't expect a legal maritime kingdom? How legal was it?

"Gulala la la la la, boy, explain it to your captain, and speak carefully. He is an old guy and hard of hearing! Gulala la la la la la." Whitebeard, who had listened to the entire discussion between Tezoro and the Beast Think Tank, naturally knew the whole story. However, he could not help but tease this old friend.

"Fuck you, Newgate. You are a few years older than me. If I am hard of hearing, you will be deaf!" How could the Golden Lion bear this injustice? He immediately started to fight back.

"How dare you say that when you're already bald." White Beard took off his hat deliberately and scratched his thick golden hair as if his scalp was itchy.

"Newgate! Don't go too far!" The golden lion was furious when he saw Whitebeard's thick hair. His golden hair was once what he was most proud of, just like the sideburns of a lion, symbolizing his kingly temperament, but now it has become his most painful part. Whitebeard even deliberately provoked him. "Gulala, alright, stop making trouble. That's why I said you care too much, just like Kaido back then. For the sake of masculinity, you have a scruffy beard. I heard that Lily shaved it all off for him." Whitebeard saw that the fun was almost over and he was really angry if he said more, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Did Lily shave that brat's beard? Hahahaha, I was wondering why I never see him with a beard now, turns out it's because of this." Sure enough, the Golden Lion's attention was diverted. At that time, he was curious why Kaido said he wanted to grow a beard, but later every time he went there, he shaved it clean. So that's the reason.

"Ahem, Captain, my plan..." Seeing that the two were talking more and more off topic, Tesoro coughed twice, attracting their attention. It seemed that he was not suitable to listen to these gossips about the Four Emperors yet. He was afraid that others would find out. Although it would not kill him, his weak arms and legs would not be able to withstand a beating from the other party.

"Oh, yes, yes, come on, tell me." The Golden Lion slapped his forehead. Indeed, how did he go off topic? It was all White Beard's fault. Why did he have nothing better to do than talk about his hair?

"It's like this, Captain, you should know the current situation in the underground world. There are still many vacancies, and the entertainment gambling industry has no real leader. We can build a large enough casino and use money to pave the way for the World Government to recognize our status and become a legal organization. Mr. Fato and others said before that the current World Government is very short of money, which is why they are printing money like crazy. The entertainment industry such as gambling happens to be a big moneymaker, and the World Government will definitely not refuse. By then, we will have a territory recognized by the World Government." Tezoro told his plan, but Golden Lion was confused.

"Then what good does this do us? Why does it feel like we're doing a favor to the World Government? The most we can do is make some money through the casino?" Golden Lion asked with a confused look on his face.

"It's not like that. These are all cover-ups. Our real goal is not simply to make money through casinos. Our real purpose is to promote our own currency. We cannot issue our own currency openly, but what if this currency is the casino's chip?" Tezoro asked with a smile.

"Chips? Wait, what do you mean?" Golden Lion instantly felt that he had caught something.

"That's right. Since we are a kingdom recognized by the World Government, then our bargaining chip can be said to be the currency of this kingdom, especially if this chip can be used to buy things in Baique? Can it be used to buy things from the Four Emperors? Who dares to say that it is not a currency? As long as we operate it properly, we can blatantly create a new currency. But the World Government can't say anything because we are a member of the World Government recognized by them. Unless they don't want that large sum of heavenly gold, they can only accept it with their noses pinched. This is a naked conspiracy!" Tesoro said excitedly.

"What if the other party threatens with force? Have you considered this?" Golden Lion asked again.

"It's very simple. I have seen many Celestial Dragons in the past few years in the Sabaody Archipelago. Those guys are all pleasure-seeking guys, and our target is an entertainment venue. As long as we can get in touch with the Celestial Dragons, they will never dare to touch us. Besides, I don't plan to really find an island as a kingdom." Tesoro had already thought of a plan.

"So what are your plans?" Golden Lion wanted to know how many more surprises this kid could bring him.

"On the sea! We build a ship that is big enough to cruise on the sea. This way, if there is any problem, we can retreat immediately. It will be a real sea kingdom!" Tezoro opened his arms and expressed his great vision.

"Hahahaha, where did you get this idea?" Golden Lion laughed loudly. He thought that this kid wanted him to carry an empty island with him, but he didn't expect that this kid actually wanted to build a big ship.

“Hehe, it’s through this.” Tezoro took out a newspaper, on which was the most popular comic strip right now, Warrior of the Sea - Sky.
