One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

"Hua Hua Hua..."

Standing on the high platform, Stusi gazed at the jet-black liquid gushing out like a fountain. She stuck out her delicate tongue and gently licked the corner of her lips, then murmured softly, "Listen! It's the sound of countless banknotes. I'll see who's richer from now on, me or that bastard Tezzolo?"

Chapter 158 Xia: Madam, please have some self-respect! And the technology to create gods!

One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...

Known as the world's richest man, Gild Tesoro, nicknamed the "Golden Emperor," arrived near Fishman Island aboard his Gran Tesoro...

"What is this?! An island made entirely of gold?!"

"No! This isn't an island, it's a warship..."

"Are you kidding me?! There are actually warships in this world that are over ten kilometers long, and made entirely of gold. It's unimaginable how something so heavy can float on water..."

When the Gran Tesoro arrived near Fishman Island, the fish-men who lived 10,000 meters deep in the ocean were dumbfounded. They stared at the warship that shone with golden light under the sun, their mouths agape, and then they spoke in great astonishment.

"My name is Tesoro! Gild Tesoro, and I am one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the New World! You may not have heard of me, but you only need to know one thing: I am the richest man in the world!"

Gild Tesoro, controlling the gold, created a tall elevator platform. Standing on the high platform, he looked out over the distant Fishman Island, where millions of mermaids and fishmen resided, and shouted loudly.

Yes, Tezzolo is a wealthy and self-aware man...

He knew perfectly well in his heart that he was the richest man in the world.

Yes, the richest man in the world is the great Figarand Char Aznable, and Gild Tesoro is one of Char Aznable's men...

cough cough...

"I've come to see you merfolk for only one thing!"

"That is, to discuss a business deal with you..."

"From today onwards, you fish-men will work for me!"

"And I'll provide you with money~"

"After all, from today onwards, you fish-men will be living on the surface, and the people on the surface don't use seashells~"

"We use a type of paper currency called Bailey, which is the only official currency issued by the world government. It's the kind that will disintegrate if it gets wet in seawater. The second most common currency is gold..."

"As the name suggests, the man who possesses the most gold in this world is none other than me, known as the 'Gold Emperor'..."

Tesoro succinctly described the predicament of the merfolk after they came to the surface, and explained how he could help them.

"I see! So, the simplest way for us fish-men to integrate into human society on the surface is to cooperate with you, right?!"

After hearing Tesoro's words, King Neptune of the Fishmen swam directly to Tesoro and asked him a question.

"exactly……"

Upon hearing this, Tesoro nodded slightly in reply.

"I understand!"

Neptune frowned, looked at Tesoro, and asked coldly, "What do you need us merfolk to do?!"

"Wait a moment..."

"I don't need ordinary merfolk..."

"To be honest, I have very high standards for hiring fishmen and mermaids."

First of all, no ugly people please~

"Secondly, I don't want guys who sing off-key!"

"Preference will be given to those with fair skin and good looks, those with eight-pack abs, and those with a beautiful singing voice and some vocal training..."

Tezzolo smiled and then told Neptune his standards.

"This……"

Neptune was taken aback; he hadn't expected Tezzolo to have so many demands.

"In short, I welcome all those who want to become stars to sign up at my Golden City!"

"Oh! Right, I almost forgot..."

"Besides being the richest man in the world, I am also the owner of the world's largest entertainment company, record company, and entertainment complex!"

"Please remember my name, 'Big Star' Gild Tezzolo~"

At this point, Tezzolo did a classic Michael Jackson groin grab.

Although Tesoro didn't quite understand the meaning of this action, since it was Lord Char who told him to do it, he would just do as he was told. Anyway, Lord Char never made a mistake...

"Oh!!!"

As Tesoro delivered his flamboyant speech, the entire Fishman Island erupted in excitement...

Countless mermaid girls who believed they had some singing talent or stunning beauty swam toward Tesoro's golden city.

"Project Siren Begins!"

Tesoro smiled slightly, silently reflecting on his thoughts.

Becoming the world's richest person through conventional means is virtually impossible...

So, beautiful lady...

Therefore, female mermaid dealers are indispensable for dealing cards online~

Tesoro calls this method of getting rich by relying on the fish-men the Sirens Project...

After all, Tesoro had heard from Char that in ancient legends there was a group of female monsters called Sirens. They would use their beauty and melodious songs to lure sailors closer, and then reveal their ferocious nature to devour them.

Tezzolo felt that this was quite similar to his entertainment center...

"Never mind, since they went voluntarily, I couldn't stop them..."

Seeing this, Neptune felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. In the end, he could only stroke his beard and sigh helplessly.

that's it……

Fish-Man Island has established a stable cooperative relationship with Gild Tesoro, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

the other side.

After General Fujitora of the World Government's Army Headquarters smiled and moved Fish-Man Island from the depths of the ocean to the surface...

He followed the plan that Char's second wife Rouge had previously discussed with King Neptune of Fishman Island and Queen Otohime!

With Neptune's daughter, the princess of Mermaid Island, the mermaid princess said to be born only once every eight hundred years, and the one revered as a 'god,' Poseidon, one of the three ancient weapons—Shirahoshi…

Heading towards the Amazon Lily Kingdom, the island where Char is located.

On the deck of a warship.

“My dear Princess Shirahoshi and Queen Otohime, do not be afraid…”

"Our prince is a good person~"

"He would never lay a hand on you..."

Smile, sitting in a chair, addressed the mermaid princess Shirahoshi, who was leaning against a cushion, and the mermaid queen Otohime, with a smile.

"I'm not worried about myself..."

"But I heard, I heard that His Highness Xia Ya has a thing for married women..."

"I am very worried about my mother."

Bai Xing hesitated. She had heard news about Xia Yasheng from her personal guard, He Song.

At that time, Kawamatsu said to her: "My lord is wise and powerful, able to foresee the future and see through all things in the world. He is a rare saint in the world!"

"Are there really people this amazing in this world?!" Upon hearing this, young Shirahoshi's big eyes sparkled like tiny stars as she looked at Kawamatsu and asked in confusion, "Is he without any flaws?!"

"Forehead……"

As Bai Xing finished speaking...

Kawamatsu froze on the spot, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, his expression dazed.

"Actually, my prince does have some flaws..."

He Song looked at Bai Xing and spoke hesitantly.

"What drawbacks?!"

Bai Xing ate her hand, looked at He Song curiously, and asked.

"My prince has a thing for other men's wives!"

"So if Your Highness ever meets my Lord Xia Yasheng, please don't let Princess Otohime go with you, otherwise you might end up with an extra father..."

In response, Kawamatsu spoke softly to Shirahoshi.

If Xia Ya heard Kawamatsu's words at this moment, he would definitely roar: "You're just spreading rumors! You're talking behind my back! In my entire life, I, Cao Xia Ya, have never had any interest in other men's wives!"

"Eh……"

"Who said that to His Highness...?"

"How could my Commander-in-Chief possibly love someone else..."
