The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 521 God of Wealth!

Royal City of Lati!

This most solemn and majestic city in the Kingdom of Heberfel is the true and absolute center of this vast land.

In terms of economy, culture, location, influence, and many other aspects, it is an unshakeable international center.

Even from a historical perspective, this place will undoubtedly be a city that leaves a significant mark on history.

The king who created all the legends here began his legendary story from here.

It flourished because of him, and it endures because of him; they complement each other and are famous in history.

Tesoro and his companions walked through the streets of the royal city, feeling the grandeur, prosperity, and solemnity of the city.

"Is this the royal city of Heberfeller? It's truly a sight to behold."

The red-haired woman, Bakala, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement; it was her first time visiting this place and she was utterly awestruck.

This city is one of the largest in the world, and the awe-inspiring Lati Royal City is beyond imagination.

Tezzolo didn't speak; instead, he was shocked. In the short few years since he left, the place had changed so much.

It's truly amazing.

The methods of Heberfeller Charlotte are evident, and the Heberfeller family, which is powerful and influential, is full of talented people.

Such a vast territory, developed in such an orderly manner, could not have been accomplished by an individual solely through force.

Tesoro thought of many things immediately; he was a thoughtful and perceptive person.

"Is that the Heberfeller family's dragon?"

The red-haired woman, Baccarat, with her naive and unworldly expression, interrupted Tesoro's thoughts.

In the vast, empty square not far away, several giant dragons appeared, some soaring, some lying on the ground... The scene was quite spectacular.

Tesoro looked over as well, and while shocked, he quickly realized something was wrong.

The fact that the Heberfeller family possessed a dragon was common knowledge, and he had even had the privilege of seeing one himself.

However, the giant dragon in the square was clearly not right; one could even clearly see that the crowd was passing right through the body of the dragon that was coiled in the square.

Many people nearby, seeing that they looked frightened, couldn't help but kindly offer some advice.

"Don't be afraid, outsiders. That's just a virtual image of a dragon; it's all fake."

Bakara stared blankly, incredulous, and said, "Is it fake?"

"Of course, that's just a fantasy created through virtual technology. How could the kingdom put a real dragon in the square? That would be too dangerous for ordinary people."

Baccarat was clearly taken aback by the passerby's answer, while Tezzolo keenly noticed what the other person was referring to.

Virtual technology!

Needless to say, he knew that this was a new type of science and technology from the Heberfeller family, and that its results were astonishing.

"Since this is your first time visiting the Kingdom of Heberfellow, I recommend you watch the movie; that will help you understand."

Kind passersby offered friendly and enthusiastic reminders.

This virtual technology was naturally obtained by Kuma from Egherard (Future Island), where Vegapunk was located.

To this end, cinemas were established, which not only added to people's entertainment options but also provided revenue for the kingdom.

Tesoro paused for a moment, and although he still didn't understand, he quickly spoke up.

"Thanks for reminding me."

The passerby left with a kind smile, while Tesoro decided to savor the experience later.

His immediate task was to seek an audience with the Heberfeller family to see if he could demonstrate his worth and gain their protection.

After all, the Don Quixote family is not someone to be trifled with.

They might back down when facing the Heberfeller family, but when facing him, they would definitely strike hard.

As for meeting Heberfeller Charlotte, he didn't even dare to think about it; such a big shot wouldn't meet with an unknown nobody like him.

The difference in their social status and position is too great.

"Let's go, Bakala."

Tesoro headed off into the distance, and the shocked Baccarat quickly followed.

Not long after...

"Lord Ivan!"

Tezzolo bowed respectfully and cautiously to the man before him.

Yag Ivan, the finance minister of the Kingdom of Heberfel, is a powerful figure who controls the economy, wealth, and commerce.

"You're Tezzolo?"

Ivan looked calmly at the other person and slowly spoke.

He naturally also received intelligence shared by the family.

The person in front of me pulled off a daring snatching, stealing the Paramecia-type Gold-Gold Fruit from the Donquixote Family.

He's being hunted down by the Don Quixote family, which is quite courageous!

"Yes, that's me!"

Tezzolo adopted a very humble attitude, despite the fact that the two were not of equal status, even though he had once received help from the Heberfeller family.

But he himself chose to leave, and the Heberfeller family was too large.

It's simply unrealistic for someone with little reputation to be known by higher-ups.

"Speak, what do you want?"

Ivan, pretending not to understand, asked questions.

He naturally had the support of his family and knew a lot about this guy.

If it weren't for the potential profit, he wouldn't have bothered to meet such an insignificant nobody; as the kingdom's finance minister, countless people sought an audience with him.

Countless outsiders are unaware of how many people intend to use him to access the vast economic power of the Kingdom of Heberfeller.

Therefore, he would screen intelligence, meet with valuable people, and expand business channels and increase financial revenue for his family.

Everyone had a clear division of labor and worked together in unity; each minister had their own tasks.

As the ruler of the entire kingdom, Charlotte only needs to sit high on the noble throne and display her majesty.

And solving problems for the "king" is their duty as subordinates.

"I need to invest in gold!"

Tesoro spoke without hesitation.

gold?

Ivan glanced at Tesoro and realized what the guy was planning. The Gold-Gold Fruit was very dependent on gold, especially since the Kingdom of Heberfeller was rich in gold mines.

A small amount of gold is not a problem.

What will we get in return?

Ivan spoke calmly, without immediately agreeing.

Tezzolo knew this was his only chance, so he revealed his plan without further ado.

"I plan to build a large ship and create an entertainment city on the sea, including food, music, and various entertainment facilities... It will cater to the world's nobles and the wealthy, and most importantly, it will be a gambling city."

Ivan's eyes flickered slightly.

With an incredibly keen sense for money, Ivan was well aware of the enormous profits that could be generated when the business was well-managed.

The upscale venue caters to wealthy and aristocratic individuals from all over the world, those who spend money like water and are rolling in riches.

Most importantly, this will not affect the Kingdom of Heberfeller and will not go against the will of Boss Charlotte.

Tesoro noticed that Ivan seemed a little excited and continued.

"After making a profit, I plan to give 50% of the profits to the Kingdom of Heberfeller."

Ivan glanced at Tesoro in front of him. Investment naturally comes with certain risks, and caution is the only proper course of action.

If the investment fails, the loss will be huge, which will affect his image in Charlotte's eyes. As for the other party defaulting on the debt or running away...

Well, I'm sorry to say, but no one can escape the pursuit of the Heberfeller family.

Tezzolo waited anxiously, but Ivan soon made his decision, even if the guy's investment had failed.

That's no problem at all, because you can take their life! That Paramecia-type Gold-Gold Fruit is enough to recoup the cost.

They have no shortage of gold.

With that in mind, he readily agreed.

"Okay, no problem!"

Tezzolo was thrilled, and he couldn't help but roar inwardly, "It really worked, he made the right bet."

If this plan is executed perfectly, it will be enough to make him the richest man in the world.

By accumulating vast wealth, they then use that money to manipulate the world.

"Sign the contract!"

Hearing Ivan's reminder, Tesoro returned to normal; this was a very standard business tactic.

He knew very well that even without this contract, he wouldn't dare to do anything underhanded.

Powerful force is the only sign that everything is done according to the rules; wealth is the least valuable thing to the Heberfeller family.

Without hesitation, Tezzolo quickly wrote down his name.

Ivan's lips curled up slightly. Tesoro was shrewd, decisive, and bold; he certainly had extraordinary qualities.

It seems the other party will definitely not break the contract, which is a bit of a shame.

The Kingdom of Heberfeller has always followed the rules.

For them, killing, looting, and breaking the rules with impunity is effortless.

But for doing business, that really narrows the path.

Wealth is not endless; only by continuously creating wealth and goods do pewter and gold have value.

Otherwise, it's nothing but a pile of waste.

This is the business philosophy of the Heberfeller family, but of course, it's also a pity they couldn't obtain the golden fruit.

Watching Tesoro leave, Ivan finished organizing the relevant documents and immediately went to report the matter to Charlotte.

Charlotte was slightly speechless after listening to Ivan's report.

Doflamingo is somewhat unlucky, from the Op-Op Fruit to the Gold-Gold Fruit and then to the Flame-Flame Fruit.

Losing all three powerful Devil Fruits is truly infuriating.

It was partly due to bad luck.

Of course, he greatly appreciated the arrangements Ivan made.

Tezzolo is no ordinary guy; that floating entertainment complex will definitely bring them huge profits.

Furthermore, what are those nobles and wealthy people doing with so much money? Wouldn't it be better to use it for consumption and as funds for the development of the Kingdom of Heberfellow?

He wouldn't refuse such an opportunity; those guys are the main consumers.

"You've done a great job, Ivan. You've made a very good choice this time."

Ivan smiled. "It's my honor to serve the boss."

Charlotte laughed helplessly.

"You're getting more and more cunning as you get older."

However, Charlotte was still very happy, as Ivan's abilities were quite outstanding.

He was certain of the other party's success by understanding the plot's direction, while Ivan made his judgment entirely after weighing the pros and cons.

It's clear how amazing Ivan's growth has been over the years; he's a born god of wealth!
