The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

"Hee hee hee, it's really interesting here."

As the Sunshine Melly sailed into the pier covered with golden statues of VIPs, a beauty with burgundy curly hair swayed over.

"Everyone, meeting for the first time."

The black low-cut backless long dress was slit to the base of the thigh, and there was a snake-shaped tattoo on the left thigh. Coupled with the healthy wheat-colored skin and the explosive figure of the other party, it is definitely able to make...

Well, today's Straw Hats have no one who is tempted by 'beauty', what a pity.

"I'm the VIP receptionist: Bacala."

The mature beauty bowed slightly facing the straw hat group, revealing her unfathomable...

"Roman!"

"Is that the cow that grabs your attention?"

Facing Nami, whose face was gloomy, Roman touched his chin calmly.

"It's really good,"

"Although it's not like the empress or Perona, but... Nami, why is your face yellow?"

Ok, I didn't expect you to be such a Roman! !

"Anyway, it's a very troublesome ability if you're not careful. Superman is the 'lucky fruit'... Nami, why are you blushing again?"

"...It's all right, your face is radiant."

? !

As Nami gritted his teeth, Roman thought for a second...and then gave up. Compared with these trivial matters, there are more important things waiting for Roman to deal with.

"Government officials, admirals, and big pirates...I keep them all in my heart. There are very few people in the sea who don't know a new Emperor like your Excellency, right?"

Facing Luffy's question of "Do you know us?", the tall and slender beauty with burgundy curly hair looked surprised like "No one in the world knows you". After giving Luffy a small hug:

"Everyone, please, I have prepared transportation for everyone."

A luxurious stretched Cadillac... Ahem, in short, it is the kind of classic car that Roman could only see at the Melbourne Motor Show in his previous life, full of low-key luxury of old money, and restrained style!

Of course, in this world, it becomes an unconventional 'high technology'. but:

"These are muscle turtles, capable of delivering 400 horsepower, and at the same time they are the 'nobles' of muscle turtles, guaranteed to provide a smooth and comfortable form environment..."

so--

Looking at the eight turtles on both sides of the front of the luxury car, Roman was speechless for a while. In the end, it is still the most primitive 'biotechnology'. What is the difference between this and the 'automatic walkway' of the Tianlong people?

"Wow, so gorgeous~~"

Everyone in the straw hat group drove all the way in this extended luxury car, and there were all kinds of clothing stores, jewelry stores, and pastry shops on both sides, making Luffy and others amazed as if Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden.

The brightly lit high-rise buildings reflect a large number of gold decorations, which are even more luxurious than the entertainment venues that Roman knew in his previous life. After all, even the oil tycoons in the Middle East cannot do such an exaggerated behavior full of golden street lights. but:

"boring,"

"Just take a look, it's just a plaything."

In the eyes of Sauron and Roman, only strength is always the first. No matter how gorgeous the city in front of him was, it was nothing more than a ruin that could be turned into ruins with just a few blows.

"You two, are you too confused? This is a shopper's paradise. We're going to do some shopping in a while: Robin, Bryn, the three of us come together."

"OK."

"Hey... well, okay."

Oh, woman.

When Roman thought of his bag space, Nami bought a lot of clothes every time she went to an island. Up to now, many of them have only been worn once... Although Roman doesn't care about money in his current status, this kind of wasteful behavior is not after all...

"Everyone, this is just an 'ordinary area'."

Bacara, who was driving, dutifully introduced the Straw Hats.

The shadow of the famous tree, facing the straw hat group that just overturned Kaido, this sea no longer dares to underestimate their power.

"The entire 'Gulan Tezolo' is a huge entertainment city. In the back VIP area, it includes three golf courses, a huge man-made surfing beach, and a 10-kilometer local characteristic 'Turtle Car Race'. road'····"

"In addition to these entertainment equipment, the ship also has a library with more than 100,000 books, a special market selling various rare ingredients and rare design drawings..."

"Cool! It is simply a country with a wide range of goods."

"yes,"

Facing Franky, Sanji, Usopp and others who were instantly interested, Bacala continued to introduce.

"The slogan of this sea kingdom established by Lord Tezolo is 'You can buy anything if you have money' - even if it is a devil fruit, it is not without it, there are auctions every six months The secret treasure of the devil fruit level is the finale."

Of course, the selling price is definitely not a mere 100 million. After all, Tezolo's golden ship is worth more than 500 billion Baileys! It is definitely the place where the most money is concentrated in the world. If there are 100 million Devil Fruits, he can arm thousands of capable people.

——However, in fact, there are no more than a thousand devil fruits in the entire sea.

Thinking about it carefully, 6 of the 12 members of the straw hat group on the luxury car have devil fruit ability users, which is a frighteningly high ratio!

"Wow, it really matches everyone."

In a high-end clothing store, everyone in the Straw Hat Group changed into suits and dresses that matched the entertainment city, which seemed to have a relaxed and playful atmosphere.

With the current status of the Straw Hats, appearance characteristics have long been a "compulsory course" for most forces in the sea. Otherwise, if they accidentally collide with the "ambitious" and "ruthless" Straw Hats, it will be a disaster for the country!

Well, to be honest, the Straw Hats have really 'destroyed' many countries: Drum Country, Dressrosa, and the most recent Wano Country... So, there are still necessary disguises, Otherwise it's not fun to make other people fuss.

"Hee hee hee, that 'tortoise and hare contest' seems very interesting~~"

Changing into a white suit, wearing a top hat and sunglasses, Luffy looked at the 'Unlimited Turtle Car Race' on the big screen next to him with great interest. That's truly unlimited: modified vehicles, various 'props', and fists... Anyway, as long as you are sitting in the car, any behavior on the track is in compliance with the rules.

"I'm really interested in the ingredients here."

Sanji lit a cigarette, and cooking was his greatest pleasure.

Facing the world's most luxurious entertainment city, everyone else was eager to try it, even Jinbei showed an expression of interest. As long as there is money here, not to mention murlocs and fur tribes, even if they are not human, they can receive god-like hospitality, but it has achieved a different kind of 'racial equality'.

"alright,"

After Roman distributed the "event funds" as usual: "Go and play by yourself, I have something to do with the boss here."

"Come on! The tortoise and the hare race!"

"Wait, Luffy! It's a turtle car race—"

Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper rushed to the location of the turtle car race without hesitation! And Nami has already pulled Robin and Brin to buy clothes, and the rest of Zoro, Brook, Jinbe, and Franky said they want to watch Luffy's game. And Roman:

"Take me to meet your boss."

"This way please, Your Excellency Neo."

Gilder Tezzolo, the owner of this city, was nicknamed the "Golden Emperor".

It's actually a... tragedy.

As Roman was led by Baccarat to the building located in the center of the giant cruise ship, looking up at the towering golden tower, Roman shook his head slightly.

No amount of money, no amount of cheers, can already fill Tezolo's inner emptiness.

Tezzolo, can be said to be the epitome of tragedy in this world.

He had a bad childhood, a gambler father, and a mother who could only vent the torture he received from his father on him. Although he liked to sing since he was a child, he showed great artistic talent and dreamed of becoming a big star, but in return he was beaten by his father and scolded by his mother.

Because of lack of money, his father fell ill and died, while his mother left him and ran away alone. Tezzolo became a thief logically, cheating, gambling, and gaining so-called 'friends' with money until:

One day, he lost his hand in a casino and was caught and sold by human traffickers. The "friends" he bought with money immediately disappeared without a trace. Tezolo, who was beaten to death before running away, met a man named "Human" in the human trafficking market. Stella's woman.

Frustrated Tezolo sang the old song, and across the iron cage, the woman in the cage praised him for his great singing. They chatted very well and became each other's comfort. So Tezolo decided to let Stella get free, never do bad things again, work day and night, because he needs money to save the only person who really cares about him, money!

Three years!

Without the slightest rest, without the slightest slack, the former gambler, thief, and liar turned into a positive, cheerful and sunny young man. He worked hard to absorb all knowledge, and worked hard to learn all the ways to make money. Seeing that the amount was finally about to be raised——

'This woman, I want it. '

An ugly fat pig with a bubble head easily shattered Tezolo's dream. Although Tezolo also rose up to resist, but: what is an ordinary person in front of Tianlong people? Apart from allowing the other party to 'pick up' a slave for nothing, nothing has changed.

Afterwards, Tezolo lived as a slave of the Celestial Dragons in the holy land of Mary Gioia. Relying on his tact and flattery from living alone, Tezolo barely survived, but his beloved people:

After three years of torture, there was only one body left.

Later, taking advantage of the slave emancipation incident created by Fisher Tiger in the Holy Land, Tezolo escaped, but has become one:

A monster whose personality has been twisted to the extreme.

He led someone to snatch the "Golden Fruit" from Doflamingo's auction, and then used his ability to create fake gold to quickly start a business. He used all means to amass property. Only gold and cheers made him forget the despair he once had. .

On the one hand, he hates the rich and the nobles, and uses his own wisdom to earn a lot of money from these guys, making them bankrupt; power and status.

Even being able to stand on the biggest stage in the world today is nothing more than:

"Here we are, Lord Neo."

The golden elevator stopped at the top floor, interrupting Roman's memory.

"Please wait,"

This elevator has no exit, if you want to get outside, you need——

"unnecessary,"

Roman directly prevented Baccarat from knocking on the golden wall, and summoned another cadre: Mr. Tanaka who has the ability to "pierce through fruit", a man with a huge head and a treacherous expression who can lead others through all non-living bodies captain of the guard.

"I'll do it myself."

With a light push, Roman pushed out a 'door' on the half-meter-thick gold wall, and walked out after taking a step, causing the eyes of the wine-red beauty behind him to shine.

As expected of the staff of the newly-promoted imperial group, the obstacles of the golden wall seemed to him nothing.

"Hahaha, welcome~~"

As soon as he passed through the wall, Roman saw a guy whose head was covered with gold and pressed on the floor, showing a 'pain mask'. His limbs were twitching desperately, and he was about to—

brush,

? !

"In my territory, who allows you to let him go!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Walking past the unlucky man who was finally able to breathe after his sword qi tore off the gold on his face, Roman looked at the big horse and gold knife sitting on the sofa in front of him, looking like a big guy, in a wine red suit and a big man. Gilder Tezzolo frowned.

Although this guy was once a poor man, but while escaping from the holy land of Mary Gioia and becoming the world's richest man step by step, Tezolo's twisted heart made him gradually live in the way he hates the most.

Domineering, ruthless, full of desire to control!

A large number of people were enslaved to work for him with money, and people were suffocated to death with gold if they disagreed.

hehe,

"Answer me, who made me laugh!"

Tezzolo, who stood up suddenly, glared at Roman who was sneering in front of him. If he hadn't felt his own gold powder in the opponent's body, he vowed to turn this guy into a statue now!

"No one can laugh without my permission!!"

"okay,"

Amid the horrified faces of the others, Roman waved his hands calmly.

"Get all your men down, I have something to say to you. Gilder Tezzolo, or—"

Calmly looking at the 'Golden Emperor' in front of him, Roman tilted his head slightly.

"I'll kill you now."

? !

"Mr. Tezolo!"

As soon as the words fell, a figure with a huge head suddenly emerged from the ground, and at the same time he brought out a tall and strong man: Daisy. The champion of death fighting in the new world, because he is too resistant to fight, no one wants to be his opponent. He is an armed and domineering master, who can use his forehead to hard-wire Sauron's double swords. He serves as the dealer of the VIP casino here in Tezolo .

The burgundy-haired beauty Bacala brought by the other side also took off her gloves in an instant, hesitated for a second, and chose to approach the armed personnel of her side. Her "lucky fruit" can absorb other people's luck and turn it into her own use, making herself very lucky, while the other party seems to have encountered various accidents like "the god of death is coming".

But she didn't have the confidence to touch Roman, so she was going to choose to absorb the luck of her subordinates and use it in battle!

In an instant, the entire hall was filled with the aura of Xiao Sha.

"Do you want to fight?"

Roman waved to several cadres and Tezolo who were facing the enemy.

"Let's go together."

Strictly speaking, neither Tezolo nor his several cadres are weak. But... at the level of the Doflamingo family, it is not enough for Roman, who has fought against the two four emperors.

"Tsk, there must be a limit to underestimating people! As long as I have a thought—"

"Can you turn people into golden statues?"

Facing Tezolo, who was threatening, Roman directly revealed his hole card for him, "As long as the ability user is killed, any ability will be invalid."

"Don't worry, I'm sure the battle will end soon."

? !

···········

"You...you guys go down,"

In the end, Tezolo still did not choose to do anything, but waved his hands to make his subordinates and the accompanying guests in the hall retreat. On the one hand, the opponent's pirate group has just defeated one of the old Four Emperors' impressive record, and on the other hand, it is also because:

Putting yourself in a strong position before starting is nothing more than a negotiating technique! Although no one dared to use this method in front of the 'Golden Emperor' for several years, Tezzolo was no stranger to this style.

It's just a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Speak, what are you going to say?"

After all his subordinates were sent away by the head of the guard with the ability to penetrate, Tezolo looked at the young man in front of him with a gloomy expression. Confident, strong, calm...

It is both enviable and hated!

"Tezolo, although I don't want to talk nonsense, I have to say that you have become the person you hate the most."

?

Roman's eyes fell on Tezolo's hands. As an out-and-out upstart, he wore nine gold rings on his hands! Apart from:

the ring finger of the left hand,

That was the place he reserved for his beloved woman, Stella.

Although it is no longer possible to wear it.

Snapped,

As Roman snapped his fingers, pieces of white paper flew out and covered the resplendent room with a layer of white, which almost made Tezolo violently attack!

"So, how strong is your desire for revenge?"

? !

"What are you talking about? I'm the richest man in the world, what hatred do I have—"

Facing the strong Tezolo, Roman spit out three words.

"Dragon people."

"Or how much weight does the woman 'Stella' hold in your heart?"

·······

"Who made you—"

In an instant, the entire hall made of gold seemed to come alive, like the stomach of a monster, and the giant mouth of a Neptune! The ground, walls, and ceiling were undulating like waves, and countless sharp golden spears pierced Roman's paper, and they were going to pierce Roman's heart in the next second!

"Say that name!!!!"
