Dancing in the Pirate World with the Spin-Spin Fruit

Chapter 89 Gilder Tezulo [8k]

"Kutar, I'm coming!" Gray, who was flying with baby-5 in his arms, had not yet landed when his words reached the ears of Kutar and others on the ground.

"Gray, here!" Kutar waved his hands happily underground.

Leo, who was standing next to him, suddenly said loudly after seeing Gray's face: "Be on guard!"

Not only that, he rushed forward first and stopped Kutar and others who wanted to rush out.

"Leo, what are you doing?" Kutar was very confused and a little angry at Leo's attitude.

"Coutar, stop it! The people across from us are members of the Don Quixote family. They are bad guys!"

"Impossible! Gray is a good adult, and he even brought us gifts!"

While the two were arguing, Gray landed with Baby-5, tilted his head and looked at Leo in confusion. After seeing the needle in the other's hand, Gray understood the situation.

Leo, the user of the parahuman Seam-Seam Fruit, is also the captain of the patrol team of the Tontatu Kingdom.

Naturally, as the captain of the patrol team, they must be aware of the changes in Dressrosa nearby after making many inquiries over the past year.

As a member of the Don Quixote family that forced King Riku to step down, he was definitely classified as a bad guy by them.

Faced with such a situation, Gray had already prepared himself mentally and was ready to face the questioning from the dwarfs.

"Everyone, I have no ill intentions! I was forced to join the Don Quixote family, and I..."

Before Gray could finish his words, Leo and other patrol officers suddenly realized what was going on.

"Ah! So you were forced to do it!"

"So Gray, you have this reason. I told you that Gray is a good adult!"

Gray: ...

Gray was stunned for a moment. He just said such a ridiculous excuse, and he didn't even finish it. No one would believe it, but these dwarfs believed it instantly. Gray, who was about to make up more, was at a loss as to what to do.

"No, you believe it just now? I haven't even finished reading the manuscript in my mind!" Even though I complained in my heart, let it go!
It’s better not to be too nosy!

However, I have to say that this is Dontata's style.

Immediately, the atmosphere became relaxed, Gray sat down cross-legged, and opened the package he brought with baby-5.

"Kuttar, come over here and help share the cakes I brought. You little man with the needle over there, come and help too!"

"Mmm! Gray, here I come!"

"Oh! There are delicious cakes, so sweet!"

"Sure enough, you are a good adult!"

"Ah! Can I have it too?" Leo pointed at himself and looked at the beautiful pastries with an eager look in his eyes.

"Of course!" Gray waved at him: "Come over here!"

"By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Leo! Just as Kutar said, you are a good adult, Gray."

After dividing the cakes, Gray and baby-5 ate the fruits they grew and the cakes Gray brought. Both sides were very satisfied.

"Gray, can you tell me your story?" Although Leo believed what Gray said, he felt obligated to ask again for safety reasons.

Hearing this, Gray put down the fruit in his hand and fell into reminiscence.

"I am just a homeless person."

"He is also a poor guy whose home was destroyed but he couldn't protect it." The first half of the sentence is Gray's portrayal of his previous life, and the second half is from the original owner of this body.

But to everyone, it means the same thing.

"To be honest, I was also a prince. One day, a group of bad guys came and destroyed my kingdom. Then I wandered until I was taken in by the Don Quixote family. I have been working hard to grow up until now."

"As a prince, I understand the feeling of having my country destroyed. So, when I was here, I tried to avoid that from happening."

"Plus, as a member of the Don Quixote family, I can better supervise them and prevent them from harming the people here." As he spoke, Gray himself almost believed that he had joined the undercover team in order to prevent Doflamingo and others from doing bad things.

However, even though Gray's words were ridiculous, they still moved these little humans to tears, especially Gray's tragic life experience, which made them look at Gray with pity.

Not only them, but also Baby-5, who heard about Gray's life story for the first time, felt very sorry for Gray.

"Gray! You still have me, and I will be your most important family member." Holding Gray's arm, baby-5 burst into tears.

Gray: ...

Gray was speechless and had a dark face. If it wasn't for the purpose of deceiving the dwarfs in front of him, he would have given Baby-5 a slap in the face.

What does the tragedy of his previous life have to do with him, Gray?
"I believe you have also seen that under my supervision, the Don Quixote family did not harm the people here. Instead, they provided them with jobs and wages to support their families."

"Besides, with my protection, no pirates will come to harass this place. Even if they come, I have the power to protect the people here."

Gray's words are all true portrayals of the Don Quixote family here. Before the Don Quixote family came here, this country was barely able to maintain food and clothing under the oppression of heavenly gold.

Even so, we have to pray for good weather and no natural disasters to destroy the crops. In addition to these, it is also possible that pirates will rob some villages and run away, and when the kingdom soldiers come to support them later, it will be too late.

Without food to guarantee their own food and clothing, King Liku and others were unable to provide disaster relief supplies, and people who could not survive often starved to death.

After Doflamingo took over this place, he built a large weapons workshop so that these people could have jobs to support themselves and their families, and also avoid harassment from pirates.

It's much better than during the time of King Liku.

But even so, these people still talk about King Riku, I don't know what they are thinking. Until Luffy and his friends came here in the original novel, they still couldn't forget King Riku's family.

Was the poor life so good in the past?

"Wow! Gray, you are so awesome!" Although Gray took on the work of the Don Quixote family, Leo and others still saw the changes in Dressrosa.

Although it's a bit unfair to King Riku's family, wasn't that done by Doflamingo?

What's the connection with Gray?
As a prince of a fallen country who is undercover in the Don Quixote family, it is already amazing that he can help the people of Dressrosa so much, okay!

"See, I told you! Gray is a good human!"

"Right! I shouldn't have doubted you before." Leo immediately admitted his mistake and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, Gray!"

"Haha! It's okay!" Gray waved his hand and pulled Baby-5 next to him forward, introducing him: "This is my companion. Look, he's still so young, and he's joined the Don Quixote family as a pirate. Isn't that bad!"

"Yeah!" Leo and others looked at baby-5. She was only 11 years old this year and looked very immature. This made Leo and others believe Gray's words. He was forced to do so.

Baby-5 blinked in confusion: ???
From the very beginning, after Gray finished talking about his life story, she found her head starting to get confused. She knew every word Gray said, but when they were put together, she felt it was so unfamiliar.

Scratching Baby-5's back, Gray signaled her to put aside her doubts for the time being and cooperate with him.

"Hey! Graysama is the best person. He takes care of me the best in Don Quixote's family."

"Since you are Gray's friend and partner, you must be a good adult!"

"Yes! Great human race!"

It was obvious that they all believed Gray's fabrications.

……

While Gray was making random arrangements for Doflamingo, he was taking Diamante and Pica on a boat, sailing quickly towards the North Sea.

After Tesoro began to emerge, he locked onto his target, and the intelligence of the Don Quixote family finally began to come into play.

After stealing the Gold-Gold Fruit from Doflamingo, Doflamingo knew Tesoro's information based on Tesoro's development over the past few years, the Don Quixote family's intelligence network, and the intelligence purchased from the underground world.

After eating the Golden-Gold Fruit, the other party was silent for half a year, and then appeared for the first time in Rogge Town in the East China Sea.

At the same time, a small chamber of commerce in the East Sea started to gain some fame. After that, Tezulo moved to the West Sea and the South Sea, not only to look for gold, but also to use gold to support some chambers of commerce, so that the chambers of commerce could develop and use Bailey to buy more gold.

After two years of development, Tesoro entered the North Sea. Because the Don Quixote family was involved in many businesses there, he came into Doflamingo's sight.

The reason why Tesoro reached the North Sea was because he was confident that he could avoid the pursuit of Don Quixote's family.

In other words, he believed that with the power of the money in his hands and the Gold-Gold Fruit, he could fight against Doflamingo.

In order to prevent the Four Seas Plan from failing, he made careful preparations before coming to the North Sea.

Although he was discovered a little early, he had already prepared himself mentally after entering the North Sea.

His plans will not stop until he waits for Doflamingo.

After completing the layout of the four seas, he will enter the Grand Line. After collecting more gold, he will be sure of the plan in his mind.

In this way, time passes quietly as both parties tacitly understand that you know me, but I just won’t leave to wait for you.

When Doflamingo arrived at the island where Tesoro was docked, Tesoro had been waiting for a long time.

"Fufufu... What an arrogant newcomer! He actually waited for our arrival!" Doflamingo, who was standing on the bow of the ship, was very unhappy when he saw the deserted island where the other party was staying.

"But the other party is really rich. The entire deserted island is covered with gold."

From Doflamingo's point of view, on the deserted island opposite, the entire island, whether it was trees, flowers, or soil, was covered with a layer of gold.

The entire island was transformed into a golden world. If they had not seen the world, the mere sight of the gold on it would have made Doflamingo and the others lose their composure.

But despite appearing calm on the surface, the greed in his heart inevitably kept coming out.

"This new guy is really rich. He is worthy of being the user of the Gold-Gold Fruit. He does have a natural advantage in finding gold."

"Dover, you don't have to do anything, let me teach this thief a lesson!"

"Then, we took the other party's gold and took our family's development to a higher level."

“Fufufufu…Okay, I’ll leave him to you then, Diamante!”

"No problem!" With a confident smile, Diamanti immediately started with a slashing move.

"Half-moon funeral!"

Facing Diamante's chopping wave, Tesoro, who had been waiting on the island for a long time, looked relaxed and natural.

With just a few simple words, the gold took shape according to his will: "Golden Shield!"

The gold on the ground squirmed rapidly and instantly turned into a huge thick golden shield, directly blocking Diamante's attack.

"Hey, hey! This person doesn't look like a newcomer!" Just from this attack, Doflamingo and the other two figured out the trick.

The Half Moon Funeral move is the highest attack in Diamante's swordsmanship. Although it does not have the attached Armament Haki, it only cuts a huge gap in the shield and cuts it in half with one blow. It can be seen that the opponent's strength is definitely not just that of a newcomer.

"Hmph! Not bad!" Diamanti snorted coldly and immediately decided to take it seriously: "Unfortunately, it's not enough!"

Before he could finish his words, Diamanti rushed out.

jump!
As his feet stepped on the air, his body accelerated again and rushed towards Tezoro on the island.

With Armament Haki added to the sword, he attacked with a simple slash, and followed the slash with his body, trying to close the distance and attack.

"It's useless!" He said this expressionlessly and once again blocked the attack with the golden shield.

Although Diamante added Haki to increase his attack power, Tesoro also increased the thickness of his shield.

Tezoro didn’t understand the dual-color domineering now, but the obvious black on the enemy’s hand made him know that the situation was not simple.

What's more, if you are surfing on the sea and cannot sense whether the enemy's attack is powerful or not, you would have died in some corner long ago.

"Is it another Haki who is more powerful than me?" Tesoro's golden shield defense reminded Diamante of some bad memories, and this memory was related to Gray.

"I hate this feeling! But I'm already experienced in dealing with such situations!" While Tesoro was blocking the chopping wave, Diamanti was already close.

With his Observation Haki activated, he turned the sword in his hand with Haki attached, and was about to attack, but suddenly, Diamante retreated at a faster speed.

Not only that, during this period, he held his breath and quickly ascended into the sky using the Moon Step.

"Oh! Did you find out?" Although Tesoro was a little disappointed that he didn't succeed in ambush the enemy, he didn't care since he was discovered. Plans would not always develop as one expected.

It's normal to have some unexpected situations.

"Huh~" When she reached the sky, Diamante breathed a sigh of relief after she no longer found gold powder around her body with her Observation Haki.

"What a sinister ability!" When he activated his Observation Haki, he felt that his entire body was covered with gold powder that was invisible to the naked eye, and that the powder was drilling into his body along with his breathing. This made Diamante feel very dangerous, so he quickly evacuated.

"insidious?"

"Haha! You, a pirate, actually called me insidious. This is the biggest joke I have ever heard."

"The essence of fighting is to win. To this end, all means can be used." Tesoro almost burst out laughing. A pirate actually said that he was insidious. This almost made him laugh out loud.

"Go! If you don't come over now, how are you going to attack?"

"Or is this the extent of your Don Quixote family?" Facing Tesoro's ridicule, Diamante would not tolerate him: "Humph! It's just a little gold dust. How dare a frog in the well compete with the sun and the moon!"

"Look, I'm going to kill you right now!" Although he couldn't breathe, after knowing the danger of the gold powder, the information was already transparent, so Diamante naturally would not be fooled.

Although he couldn't fight by holding his breath for a long time, given his physical strength, he could easily fight for two or three hours.

During this time, he planned to make a quick decision.

call out!
His feet quickly kicked the air and his body rushed towards Tezoro again.

"cut!"

Ever since he was defeated by Cyrus in the last battle, and then after the attack by Kaido, Diamante realized one thing: the Floating Fruit is not suitable for him.

No, it should be said that his ability cannot support the development of both the fruit and swordsmanship at the same time.

After a painful struggle in his heart, he decided to give up the ability of the fruit and combine it with swordsmanship, and concentrate on improving his swordsmanship.

What made him so determined was the stimulation from Gray's growing strength.

In the original work, he and Pica, as Doflamingo's right-hand men, are equally powerful.

Apart from Doflamingo, he and Pica are the strongest fighters in the family, and there is nothing to fight about between them.

But here, Gray, the latecomer, made him feel that his position as the high-end combat force of the family was facing an unprecedented crisis.

In order not to fall behind too much, he thought and considered again and again.

He was such a proud man that he admitted in his heart that he didn't have the talent, but he tossed and turned in bed many nights, unable to sleep.

However, I have to praise him: he is indeed a little kendo genius.

After focusing on swordsmanship, his strength has obviously improved a lot. Now, even if he is not a top swordsman, he is already a high-level swordsman.

With enough two-color domineering power, he just touched the edge of the elite vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

"Golden Whip!" Facing Diamante's charge, Tesoro would not let him get his way. He immediately began to manipulate the surrounding gold to form a thorn whip attack.

huh huh
The whip danced like thorns, blocking all of Diamante's space to dodge.

But facing such an attack, Diamante was not at all panicked. His observation Haki allowed him to clearly know the attack routes of all the thorn whips, and the sword with armament Haki could easily cut off the thorn whips.

From Tesoro's perspective, Diamante was like a willow leaf in the wind, his body dancing with the wind, thus avoiding most of the attacks, and with a swing of the sword in his hand, he cut off the whip that was stabbing at his blind spot.

He rushed forward while attacking, forcing Tezulo to change his tactics: "Damn it! The gold is too thin to block his attack."

"In that case, let's try this trick!" Having made up his mind to fight, Tesoro began to gather gold from all over the island.

"Hmm! What's your new trick?" As far as the eye could see, the gold on the island poured into Tesoro. This made Diamante feel bad. He swung his sword even faster, wanting to rush up and interrupt the enemy.

Although he charged forward with all his might, he was still a little late.

"Golden Giant!" The huge golden giant stood on the island, and its size was almost the same as the stone giant that Pica had gathered with.

You know, this is a giant made of gold, not the stone you can find everywhere.

From this we can see how much gold Tesoro has and how talented he is in business.

"Is it just a giant made of gold?" If that were all, Diamante still had the confidence to deal with it.

After all, we have seen it too much from Pica. A giant with a huge body is just a huge living target in front of an agile swordsman.

"Hahaha! Since you are so good at hiding, come and give it a try!" Tezoro's voice came from the golden giant.

At the same time, the golden giant clenched his right fist and directly attacked Diamante on the ground. The huge fist brought strong wind pressure, making the cloak behind Diamante flutter.

The sunlight was blocked out and a shadow covered Diamante.

"It's just big in size, not strong!" Diamante didn't even think about dodging Tesoro's attack, but thought that it was the same as Pica's Stone Giant and not that hard.

Even though gold is harder than stone, his slashing power just now did not carry any domineering power. This time, in a close-range attack, the domineering power of the sword was not compromised at all.

"Watch me kill your giant!" He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and all the strength in his body poured into this attack.

"cut!"

Boom!
The sword and the golden fist collided, and a strong shock wave swept across, trees and soil flew everywhere, and a huge pit formed under Diamante's feet in an instant.

The collision lasted only two seconds before Diamanti realized something was wrong.

"Oh no! Why is it so hard!" His domineering sword blade only cut into the palm of the golden giant and could no longer move forward at all.

"Gold is not that hard, not to mention that I have added domineering aura, it is impossible not to cut it!" Doubtful in his heart, Diamanti, who felt that something was wrong, withdrew.

"Shave!" Using Shave in quick succession, Diamante ran out of the range of the giant's fist before the giant's fist fell.

Boom!
Without Diamante to defend himself, the giant's fist rammed into the ground, causing the entire island to shake a little.

"Hahaha! Pirate, why did you dodge? Didn't you always say you were going to kill me?"

"That's it?" Although Diamante was very angry at Tesoro's provocation, he did not rush forward without thinking. Instead, he observed the golden giant again and again, hoping to find out what puzzled him.

But no matter how you look at it, this is just a giant of huge size, just like the Stone Giant like Pica.

The only difference between the two is that Pica's is made of stone, and this one is made of gold.

"What's going on?" Pica on the boat had the same doubts.

When his Titan was sparring with Diamante, if he hadn't been able to move freely inside the Titan, he might have been even worse than Diamante.

But the Stone-Stone Fruit gave him such ability. Before Diamante's observation Haki surpassed his, neither of them could do anything in their competition.

Doflamingo next to him didn't say anything, but his frown proved that he was also thinking.

After thinking for a while, Doflamingo suddenly had an idea.

"Could it be?" Although he didn't want to admit it, only this fact could explain this situation: "Fruit awakening!"

Just thinking of this answer, Doflamingo became extremely jealous. He had eaten the String-String Fruit since he was a child, developed it for decades, and then was hit by Kaido. He experienced a life-and-death crisis before awakening the fruit.

But what about Tezoro?
Only one year had passed since he ate the fruit, but he had already done the same thing as him.

Although the opponent does not have dual-color domineering, just the awakening of the fruit ability allows him to stand in the T2 position in this world.

Not to mention, without dual-color domineering, doesn’t that just mean that the opponent can become even stronger?

"Is the Gold-Gold Fruit really so compatible with him?"

"Or in other words: as long as we collect more gold, we can awaken the fruit quickly?" Doflamingo could see the other party's activities in the past few years clearly from the intelligence.

There is no enemy so powerful in the world for Tesoro to fight. And Tesoro is not famous in the underground world for his strength, but he is famous for the various industries he has mastered, which makes people in the underground world need him, so he became famous and attracted Doflamingo's attention.

In addition to doing business, Tesoro likes to collect large amounts of gold.

According to his information, the other party is either collecting gold or on his way to collect gold. Even if he is doing business, he doesn’t mind making a loss in the transaction as long as he trades gold.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Doflamingo made such a guess.

But if this guess was really correct, Doflamingo felt like he was regretting it so much.

You know, he didn't intend to really trade this fruit. He just wanted to use it to promote the auction house, and then he would arrange for his people to secretly retrieve it.

But who would have thought that after just a brief promotion, the golden fruit was gone before the auction even started.

If the fruit is gone, it’s gone!

But he became an enemy, and the other party made the fruit awaken easily. This not only made him annoyed, but also made him feel more disgusted than eating a devil fruit.

If someone in the family eats this fruit, and the family has plenty of money to exchange for gold, then they will need another person to strengthen their high-end combat power.

"Fufufu..." As he thought about it, Doflamingo laughed out of anger, and veins on his forehead bulged.

"Diamanti, come back!"

"Hmm?" Doflamingo's voice made Diamante look over in confusion, but with just one glance, he instantly understood Doflamingo's condition.

He couldn't persuade Doflamingo who was in a rage. So, he didn't ask why he said such stupid words, and walked back to the ship directly.

At the same time, Doflamingo's figure instantly disappeared from the bow of the ship. When he reappeared, he was standing in the sky opposite the eyes of the golden giant, looking at Tesoro at eye level.

If you look closely, you can see a spider web made of interwoven silk threads right under Doflamingo's feet.

"Are you finally going to take action yourself?"

"Doflamingo!" Facing Doflamingo, no matter how confident Tesoro was, he had to face him solemnly.

There was no way. Doflamingo's record was too impressive. When dealing with small pirates in the North Sea, the Don Quixote family was always in a crushing state, and there was no question of failure.

But when Kuzan was chasing him, he escaped unscathed. He was a navy admiral.

Then he robbed the World Government's Tenjojin, and not only was he fine, he also became a Seven Warlords of the Sea. After arriving in the New World, although it is not clear what happened, it is no secret that the Don Quixote family cooperated with the Beasts Pirates in the underground world.

The fact that the other party could use the skin of a hundred beasts without any problem made many people look up to him, but also made them a little wary.

"Fufufu... Is my fruit working?" Doflamingo resisted the urge to take action immediately. Even though the threads between his fingers were itching to move, he also wanted to ask Tesoro whether the devil fruit had awakened.

"Is your current state the awakening of the fruit?"

"Hmph! So what if I'm awakened? So what if I'm not awakened?" As an enemy, Tezoro has no habit of answering the other party's questions.

"Fufufu, very good!" Doflamingo laughed in anger and attacked directly: "You don't think that you can be my opponent after the fruit awakens!"

"Newbie, let me teach you the rules of this sea!"

"Snap the thread!" With a flick of the fingers, the silk thread turned into a bullet, with armed color domineering attached to it.

bump!bump!bump!
Tezoro didn't even see that the bullet had already hit the golden giant's chest, leaving dense marble-sized holes on it.

In just a moment, Tezulo broke out in a cold sweat: "It's so dangerous! If the golden giant wasn't thick enough and I wasn't inside the golden giant's body, it would be dangerous!"

"As expected of a Shichibukai member recognized by the World Government."

"Fufufu, I think I already know your limit!" After making a tentative attack and personally testing the opponent's defense, Doflamingo already had an idea in his mind.

"Then! I'll show you what a real fight is!" He removed the string from under his feet and his body fell to the ground.

In just a moment, the power of awakening began to infect the surroundings, whether it was the soil, rocks, or trees, flowers and plants, they all began to change into white threads.

"The power of awakening can naturally be dealt with with awakening!"

"So, are you ready?"

"Thief!"

"White lines in the wild waves!" The white silk threads covered the golden giant like waves.

"Hmph! A thread is just a thread. How can its hardness be compared with that of gold!" The golden giant clenched his fists and, under Tezoro's control, directly attacked the oncoming white wave.

Boom!Boom!
Every strike of the golden giant made a deafening noise, but the white waves continued one after another, just like real waves, with no end.

This made Tesoro, who had little combat experience, overwhelmed.

"Fufufu!" While admiring Tesoro's struggle, Dofran used his ability to weave a sieve in his nasal cavity to filter out the gold powder in the air.

"Too immature. Your awakening ability is not limited to this extent, right?"

"If that's all, then die!" As soon as the words fell, the white wave became more violent again.

Deep scratches appeared on the golden giant's body where the white waves had washed over it. Although they were repaired by Tezoro later, such frequent movements caused the awakening mode, which already consumed physical strength, to drain his physical strength even faster.

"Golden Divine Fire!" Since it is impossible to escape from this wave, just attack the main body directly.

The two huge eyes of the golden giant instantly emitted a dazzling light. Then, two huge lasers quickly flew towards Doflamingo.

"Nice move!" Although his Observation Haki discovered the attack, the speed of the laser was too fast and the two were so close that it was too late to dodge.

But why does Doflamingo need to hide?

"Shield white line!" The white waves under his feet stood up one after another, and the line with armed color domineering attached directly became a wall.

BOOM!

The huge explosion sound next to his ears did not affect Doflamingo at all. Even though his vision was blocked by the wire wall, he was not afraid of Tesoro's subsequent pursuit with his observation Haki.

"Fufufu, a good way to develop. Are there any more?"

"Just use it!"
