One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Rorschach stepped down from the golden throne and came to Tesoro's side.

Rorschach felt he could understand Tesoro’s feelings at that moment.

Tezzoro's childhood was exactly the same as his previous life.

They all had a gambling addict father and a mother who couldn't stand it and ran away from home.

The difference is that Tezzoro is stronger than Rorschach.

Although he grew up by stealing money to support himself.

But at least he bravely survived.

But Luo Xia in his previous life chose to give up.

However, Rorschach sympathized with Tezzoro, who was suffering.

Instead of Tesoro, who now possesses billions in wealth and has become the very person he once despised.

The current Golden Emperor is not a good person.

His Gran Tezoro was the world's largest money pit.

Every year, countless gamblers hoping to get rich overnight lose all their wealth here and become penniless.

Gamblers don't deserve sympathy.

but…

Rorschach suddenly reached out and grabbed Tesoro by the neck, lifting the dazed Tesoro off the ground and into the air.

His strength was so great that Tesoro's cervical spine cracked and popped, as if Rorschach was about to crush Tesoro's neck to pieces in the next moment.

Rorschach stared coldly at Tesoro in front of him.

"Tezzoro, you're a complete scumbag now. You're not worthy of Stella at all. If she were still alive, she would definitely leave you!"

"Shut up! I won't allow you to say that name!"

Tesoro's eyes were bloodshot, as if he couldn't feel the pain of Rorschach's strangulation. He frantically swung his hands, tearing at Rorschach's face.

Rorschach remained unmoved, then suddenly tightened his grip on Tesoro's neck, lifting him up and slamming him against the golden wall behind him.

With a deafening roar, a huge dent appeared in the thick golden wall, and Tesoro was smashed into it by Rorschach, coughing up blood continuously.

“Listen to me! If Stella were still alive, she wouldn’t want to see a degenerate Gilles Tezzoro, devoid of kindness and dreams! I originally wanted to kill you here, but because of your damn love story, I’m willing to give you a chance!”

Rorschach stared directly into Tezzoro's bloodshot eyes, baring his teeth, and said, "Tell me! What is your dream?"

Chapter 641 Rorschach: My strength is still too weak

On the dilapidated golden ship, Tesoro, dressed in a gold-embroidered suit and wearing a gold-patterned top hat, stood quietly.

Beneath its towering frame lies a boiling ocean of gold.

Under the control of the awakened Gold-Gold Fruit, millions of tons of gold rapidly filled the damaged gaps, pipes, and engine room on the ship.

The land far from the sea, under the control of the awakened fruit, has been transformed back into a dazzling golden land.

The piled-up soil and rocks were rapidly transformed into gold, redrawn and reconstructed into luxurious and exquisite golden buildings.

As time passed, the world's most luxurious entertainment city, which had disappeared, reappeared and stood tall on the golden land of the Golden Ship.

Tesoro stood quietly before this magnificent, extravagantly luxurious golden city, and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

"Lord Tesoro! The World Government's Den Den Mushi has connected!"

Bakura, holding the golden Den Den Mushi, ran happily from afar and respectfully handed the Den Den Mushi to Tesoro.

Beside them, Des and Tanaka, both bearing numerous injuries, were filled with rage, waiting for the furious Tesoro to rebuke Rorschach's atrocities on the Golden Ship to the World Government.

Faced with the immense financial power of Grantezoro, no matter how powerful the formidable Vice Admiral Bluescale was, he could not escape being held accountable by the World Government.

Just now, that infuriating Vice Admiral Bluescale actually forced them to pay the Celestial Dragons a staggering 100 billion Berries in compensation.

That's a hundred billion peggs!

That was a fortune that would make anyone, any power, envious and go crazy.

Even if the Granitezoro were to spend that much money, it would still be a major undertaking.

"We absolutely cannot let this go! That bastard Lieutenant General Lan Lin must pay the price!"

"Dai Si said angrily."

"Have the World Government remove him from his post! How dare a mere vice admiral act so arrogantly in front of Lord Tesoro?"

Tanaka also said angrily.

However, Bakura, who had given him the Den Den Mushi, felt something was amiss.

Lord Tesoro was too calm.

Although he is usually very shrewd, he would never be able to remain calm and tolerant in a situation where he has suffered such a great loss.

I wonder what Lord Tesoro and that Lieutenant General Lan Lin talked about during the time they were alone together.

As a result, Tesoro was unusually calm.

Tesoro merely glanced at his two subordinates at their complaints, and Des and Tanaka, filled with resentment, immediately shut their mouths.

Then, Tesoro held up the Den Den Mushi in his hand.

"I want to speak with the esteemed Five Elders."

"Please wait a moment, I will convey your request immediately, Your Majesty Tesoro."

The World Government official on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was clearly very respectful to Tesoro, the world's richest man.

Tesoro, being wealthy, certainly enjoys considerable influence among the Celestial Dragons.

Upon hearing Tesoro's words, Des and Tanaka, who had been keeping their mouths shut, immediately revealed gloating expressions.

They exchanged a glance, knowing that the arrogant lieutenant general was probably finished this time.

Lord Tesoro is now directly calling the Five Elders.

With the Five Elders' word, even the Fleet Admiral can forget about protecting that bastard.

After a while, the golden Den Den Mushi in Tesoro's hand transformed into the face of an imposing old man.

"Tezzoro, what's the matter?"

Tesoro's face immediately lit up with a fawning smile as he said respectfully, "Honorable Saint Satan, I wish to purchase a plot of land from the World Government. For this, I am willing to pay half of my savings, as well as half of the annual income of the Gran Tesoro."

"Oh? Half of your savings, and half of the shares in the Golden Ship? What kind of land do you want to buy? Don't tell me it's land in Mary Geoise."

Even Satan, far away in the Holy Land, was somewhat surprised to hear Tesoro's words.

In terms of personal wealth, Tezzoro is the world's richest man.

Half of his savings would be an unimaginable fortune.

Compared to Tesoro's wealth, the treasures of all the legendary pirates on the high seas are nothing.

Not to mention the half-share of the Granitzoro, which earns hundreds of billions of pegories every year.

Why is Tesoro so popular among the Celestial Dragons?

It's all because the tribute he sends each time is even more generous than the heavenly gold that the member states painstakingly collect.

The enormous wealth he is talking about now even exceeds the total amount of celestial gold collected by the World Government in a year.

So even Satan couldn't resist playing a little joke on Tesoro.

Upon hearing Satan Saint's joke, Tesoro seemed startled and immediately bowed his head respectfully, saying in a trembling voice, "No, how could I dare to covet the land of the Holy Land? Respected Satan Saint, I only wish to purchase the Sabaody Archipelago."

"Buying the Sabaody Archipelago?"

Satan was taken aback.

He frowned and said, "What do you want to do with the Sabaody Archipelago? Don't you already have the Golden Ship, this floating maritime kingdom? Sabaody isn't going to follow you all over the world. Wait... do you want to establish a country in the Sabaody Archipelago?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Saint Satan, though my golden ship is luxurious, it is always adrift at sea. I am long tired of this nomadic life. So I wish to find a beautiful place to rebuild the most luxurious entertainment kingdom in the world."

Tezzoro whispered.

"No."

To everyone's surprise, Satan Saint refused outright.

"The Sabaody Archipelago is too close to the Holy Land. No country or armed force other than the navy is allowed around the Holy Land. Tesoro, you want to establish a country right under our noses? What are you planning? To spy on the Holy Land?"

Upon hearing this, Tesoro knelt down in great fear, bowed his head, and said in a flustered manner, "Holy Saint Satan! That's not what I meant! I just think the Sabaody Archipelago is a good place to retire. I'm not young anymore, and I've had enough of drifting at sea. I just want to find a safe place with a good environment to settle my life's work, the Gran Tesoro."

"I know that's not what you meant, otherwise I wouldn't have answered your Den Den Mushi so quickly. Tesoro, I can tell you clearly that buying Sabaody Archipelago is impossible. How about this, considering your filial piety over the years, I'll allow you to lease the Sabaody Archipelago. I don't need half of your savings. The World Government will lease the Sabaody Archipelago to you, and you'll give us half of your annual earnings as taxes. What do you think?"

Satan Saint's eyes shone with majesty as he stared intently at the somewhat hesitant Tesoro.

"What? You feel you've been taken advantage of? In that case..."

"Sure! No problem! I agree!"

Tesoro gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and agreed to Satan's proposal.

Upon hearing this, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on Satan Saint's old face.

"Haha, okay, it's settled then. I look forward to the day when the world's most luxurious entertainment city is completed in Chambord."

"That is a huge project. I will start preparations as soon as possible. When it is completed, I hope that you gentlemen will grace us with your presence."

Tesoro placed his hand on his chest and spoke with utmost respect.

"No problem, it's settled then."

Satan hung up the Den Den Mushi with satisfaction.

On the golden ship, Bakala, Des, and the others beside Tesoro looked at him somewhat bewildered, completely unaware of his plan.

Tesoro ignored their thoughts, and the fawning smile on his face gradually disappeared as the Den Den Mushi was hung up.

He straightened up, looked at the magnificent golden city before him, and suddenly stretched out his right hand from afar, making a clasp in the air.

"Rumble..."

Amidst a deafening roar, the massive golden complex rapidly collapsed and crumbled, quickly turning back into ruins.
