Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

But now, in order to save Gizzas Bages, he has no choice but to make the painful decision.

Thinking this through, Blackbeard gritted his teeth and said, "Deal."

Although his tone revealed reluctance, there was nothing he could do; he was currently at the mercy of others.

"How to trade?"

Blackbeard asked, still a little uneasy, after all, the deal involved so much money and a precious Devil Fruit.

"Mr. Dragon will personally lead a team to Beehive Island to retrieve the money and goods."

"Once we get our hands on them, we'll tell you where they're being held."

Sabo knew that having Dragon personally retrieve the goods would ensure the safety of the transaction and prevent Blackbeard from playing any tricks.

Now, ever since that Saint Cloth recognized him, Dragon can beat not only Blackbeard, but even the Five Elders Deng.

"Hehehe, good!"

Blackbeard laughed. Although the deal had cost him dearly, he was relieved to have rescued Gizzas Burgess.

However, he was also secretly thinking that he wouldn't let this score go so easily.

When I have the chance in the future, I must find Sabo and GM Jun to do a proper calculation.

……

Sabo, holding a Den Den Mushi in one hand and a wicked smile on his lips, shouted into the phone.

"Hey Ace, you saw it, right? I've collected the interest from Blackbeard for you. The rest is up to Luffy."

His tone was so forceful, it was as if he was about to burst into laughter.

Ace's hearty laughter came through the Den Den Mushi: "Yeah, thanks, little brother."

Upon hearing this, Sabo instantly bristled, his eyes widening in shock.

He retorted loudly, "Freckled face, you're the idiot! Your whole family is idiot! You're a well, idiot no matter what!"

As he spoke, he even waved his fist at the Den Den Mushi, as if Ace were right in front of him and could be intimidated by his menacing appearance.

Ace burst into laughter again.

"Alright, you're already the second-in-command, why are you being so childish?"

His voice carried a hint of mockery, as if he were laughing at Sabo for still being as easily angered as he was when he was a child.

Sabo snorted, trying to calm himself down. "Fine, I won't argue with you. How's it going on your end?"

He changed the subject, still quite curious about what big commotion Ace had gotten himself into recently.

"It felt great, so comfortable. Just like Fanny said, Akainu was so angry he almost vomited blood."

Ace's voice was full of smugness, as if he was overjoyed just thinking about Akainu's humiliation.

Sabo pursed his lips, but his face showed a gossipy expression.

"Dior speaks without pictures."

“I recorded it.”

Then Ace said mysteriously.

"Send it over!"

Upon hearing this, Sabo immediately perked up.

I can't wait to see Akainu get so angry he'll fly into a rage.

It's as if I can already see a wonderful show unfolding before my eyes.

After hanging up the phone with Ace, Sabo's thoughts drifted back to the mountain of documents in front of him.

Then, Clara brought over another truckload.

……

The Straw Hat Grand Fleet is here.

At this time, the quality of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet continued to improve.

Van Nistelrooy has been releasing Saint Cloths so many times lately that his hands are practically numb.

As he distributed the items, he muttered, "These Saint Cloths are practically free, they're just piling up like crazy."

With each Saint Cloth he issued, he felt as if he were adding bricks to the Grand Fleet's combat power.

Although I was exhausted, I felt incredibly happy.

As others completed their training, more and more people were recognized by the Saint Cloth, emerging one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Cai's younger brother, Abu, was originally worried about not having any special skills, but he was suddenly chosen by the Canis Major Cloth, and he was so excited that he jumped up and down.

He would tell everyone he met, "I've been chosen by the Saint Cloth! I'm going to be a person of great ability from now on!"

He looked like he'd won the lottery, walking with a swagger.

"Destruction Cannon" Ideo is known for its astonishing destructive power. Being chosen by the ship's bow is like adding wings to a tiger.

He excitedly showed off his compatibility with the Saint Cloth in front of everyone, shouting, "Watch me send all my enemies flying to the heavens!"

His heroic demeanor made it seem as if he had already stood at the top of the world.

Brukili, a member of the Long-Legged Clan, is tall and agile. After being chosen by the Spider Cloth, his movements became even more nimble, like a ghost.

He demonstrated his new abilities on the training field, running and laughing as he said, "Wearing this armor, I feel like I have eight legs, and I can fly!"

His excitement caught everyone's attention, and they all applauded and cheered.

Unfortunately, the Tontatta tribe was completely wiped out, not because they lacked a sense of justice, but purely because of the problem with the Saint Cloth.

There's nothing I can do; it's just my constitution, I can't admit it at all.

This really upset the Dongtata tribe members, who were all dejected.

Leo muttered, "Why are we so unlucky? Is the Saint Cloth looking down on us because we're small?"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. Although they felt somewhat helpless, they could only accept the fact.

In the end, it was only after Van Nistelrooy ordered a batch of smaller Iron Cloths from Wapol that the little guys were appeased.

On the giants' side, Hajrudin was chosen by the Dragonbone Saint. His enormous body, coupled with the Dragonbone Saint Cloth, was practically a mobile fortress.

He stood there, imposing and majestic, as if he could withstand a thousand armies.

There was also an older sister named Gertz who was chosen by the Boötes Cloth.

She was originally a gentle and kind girl, but after putting on the Saint Cloth, she gained a touch of heroism.

She smiled and said, "I never thought I would become the owner of a Saint Cloth. I will protect everyone from now on!"

Yes, the voice was clear and full of power.

However, the biggest surprise for Van Nistelrooy came from Grand Admiral Orombus.

This guy usually seems carefree and unrestrained, and he looks quite rugged.

He looks like a bully, but he's actually a really good guy.

As the saying goes, good deeds are rewarded, and he was actually recognized by the Southern Cross Cloth!

Moreover, it even communicated with the sacred soul inside.

This thrilled Orombs so much that he grabbed Van Nistelrooy's hand and became incoherent.

Seeing his excited expression, Fanny couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself, "This guy really hit the jackpot."

Of course, there are also experts!

Orombs's deputy, his daughter Columbus, was chosen by Corona Borealis, a position even Van Nistelrooy coveted.

The Corona Borealis Cloth is extremely rare and possesses immense power.

The moment Columbus put on his Saint Cloth, he seemed to radiate light.

She smiled shyly and said, "I will definitely work hard."

This drew envious glances from those around who didn't have Saint Cloths.

……

With the completion of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet's reorganization and special training, the 88 constellation Saints are now basically complete.

Now, it's time for the twelve signs of the zodiac to appear.

Fanny then pulled a tiny pink Den Den Mushi from his pocket and dialed the number.

……

Chapter 155 Escape from Gran Tezzolo: Tanaka, Bartolomeo's childhood friend.

At the port of Gulan Tezolo, Tanaka's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He just couldn't understand what evil had possessed Tesoro, who had once been his partner in the dark world!

"Hmph, he just changed into a completely different person out of nowhere!"

Tanaka muttered under his breath as he angrily directed his gang members to pack up their belongings.

He used to be a very powerful and influential figure, always surrounded by a large entourage wherever he went.

Now look what happened! He was taken to the GM Army for a few months of training by those two guys in golden armor who looked like old relics, and he came back completely changed!

Tanaka gets angry just thinking about Tesoro's current state.

He used to look so dashing in that sharp suit, but now, dressed in rags, he's completely lost his former aura.

"He no longer wears suits, no longer works as a loan shark, and has given up his life of luxury. Is this still the Golden Emperor Tesoro I know?"

He spat, his face full of disdain.

What Tanaka found even more unacceptable was that Tezzolo actually released Rez Max, the big-faced gambling king, from prison.

They even put him on equal footing with several other officials.

"This is just reckless! That Rez Max, he's obviously no good, who knows what kind of evil he's up to!"

Tanaka grew increasingly uneasy, as if he could already see his interests being eroded little by little.
