The Super Dimension Pirates in One Piece
Chapter 357 The Future Golden Emperor Joins
Chapter 357 The Future Golden Emperor Joins
After several days of sailing, the ship safely survived the extremely harsh and changeable weather, but the ship deviated from the original route due to strong wind.
In the cabin, Tezzolo reclined on the soft sofa, shook the red wine in the glass with style, and took a sip:
"Bacara, the 'luck' you brought me is far from enough."
Baccarat, who has long red hair and wears a backless high-fork dress, explained: "The departure was too hasty. I only absorbed the luck of hundreds of people before I left, and because of the extreme weather in the past two days, I was forced to consume most of the luck."
Baccarat, a lucky fruit ability user, can absorb luck from others by touching their bodies with both hands.
Except that the person whose luck is sucked away will become extremely unlucky, and the luck sucked by her will be transformed into her own luck. Even if she flips a coin at random, it can be transformed into an enemy in a series of unexpected events. s attack.
Tezolo's initial plan was to use the luck of the hundreds of people she collected to meet the "two" adults by chance during the voyage to the Dawn Pirates.
Tezzolo didn't speak, and turned the goblet idly, the wine-red liquid was shaking in the transparent glass.
"Master Tezolo, please don't worry." Baccarat comforted: "We have plenty of time, and when we collect enough luck, we will surely fulfill your wish of meeting by chance."
"Alright."
Just when Tezolo thought that this search trip was fruitless, he was awakened by a sudden report from his subordinates:
"Master Tezolo! Send, discover the Eternal Dreadnought!"
"!" The wine glass in his hand shattered, and the red wine spilled on the precious carpet, but Tezolo ignored it and rushed out of the cabin quickly, while Baccarat followed closely behind Tezolo.
He snatched the binoculars with his hands, and through the round lens, Tezolo caught sight of the hull made of steel, and the Thunder Dragon Spear and Sword flag fluttering in the wind.
"Finally, finally—I found you!"
……
"Huh?" Eric asked wonderingly: "Is it the pirates from the new world? They actually want to step on us and become famous?"
"It's not the Pirates, they didn't fly the Pirate Flag." Chiron said with a smile in his voice, "But on the opposite boat, there was a man with an ecstatic expression..."
"It's like being a fanatical groupie, seeing your idol in person."
"Huh?" Eric turned his head to Miku: "Have you ever held a concert in this world?"
Meijiu pointed her lower lip with her index finger and recalled: "No?"
"Then why are there your fanatical fans here?"
Meijiu shook her head: "I only need Darling as a fan now!"
After saying that, Miku stretched her arms and rushed towards Eric.
"This is really strange." Kuang San wondered: "Will ordinary people like pirates who disrupt the world?"
"That's not necessarily true." Estes clenched his fists, feeling the increase in strength brought about by the attribute upgrade, and said casually: "I have a lot of fans in the former imperial capital."
"Huh?" Kuang San was inexplicably shocked: "So you actually have fans?"
"I can testify to this." Chi Tong nodded: "Esdes has outstanding appearance and high strength, and the army led by him has high morale and is invincible in every battle. Therefore, there are many people in the imperial capital who like Esdes. .”
"That's right (that's right)." With candy in his mouth, the black pupils said with slurred words: "Don't use Keyi as a battle (I can also testify)."
Estes put his hands on his hips, straightened up his proud capital, and looked at Kurumi with a smile on his face.
Kuang San covered his mouth with a chuckle and put forward his own suggestion: "Would you like to come and vote and see who gets the most votes?"
"Voting?" Estes frowned: "What is it used for?"
"The winner can get the right to date Eric alone." Kuang San stretched out a finger: "How about this prize?"
"But the number of voters is too small." Estes silently counted the number of people on board.
"Ara, are you afraid of losing? Shaking Queen S?" Kuang San began to taunt.
"Heh..." Estes was about to agree, but suddenly thought of something, and asked with a puzzled look: "You are so confident, you are not letting your avatar vote?"
"..." Seeing that the conspiracy was exposed, Kuang San turned his head with his expression unchanged.
"Why is the topic so distorted?" Eric was a little speechless.
"Captain? What about that ship?" Chiron asked again.
"Let it come closer." Eric was also curious, which guy was so bold.
……
"Who are you?" Eric asked the man not far away.
"Excuse me, I'm sorry!" The man in front of him quickly turned around, facing away from the members of the Dawn Pirates and straightening their clothes.
"What is this guy doing..." Perona whispered, "It's not a blind date."
"We met for the first time, Zai, Zaixia..." The man on the opposite side bit his tongue nervously.
Everyone: "..."
"My name is Gilder Tezzolo, and I'm an entertainer!"
"Tezolo?" Eric frowned and pondered, "I seem to have heard this name somewhere."
"Captain Eric." The baby-5 in a maid outfit approached Eric and reminded him in a low voice, "He is the partner who did business with Shao and Doflamingo, the member of the Don Quixote family. A lot of assets are stored with him."
"Oh, oh!" Eric finally got stronger and looked at the man opposite him carefully.
There are only sporadic resemblances to the one in One Piece Golden City, with a younger face and no intriguing aura between the brows.His business is far from reaching its peak, and now he doesn't hold 20% of the world's Pele.
The current temperament is not like a big boss, but more like an ordinary person who worships an idol.
'But, this guy's eyes...why is he looking at me so hotly? Eric's back felt cold: "This guy doesn't like masculinity, does he?" '
"Are you the 'Kuilong' Darren Eric?" Tezolo asked excitedly, and then turned [-] degrees to look at Estes: "This is the 'Ice Queen' Ace Lord Des, right?"
Eric originally planned to wait until Tezolo had 20% of Bailey before going to rob.But now, Tezolo has become his little fan?
Eric is a little confused, the attributes of you and Luffy, the cockscomb boy, overlap a bit~
"That's right." Estes raised his eyebrows: "Want to visit my torture room?"
Tezzolo immediately replied: "Please let me participate..."
Eric raised his hand to interrupt Tezolo: "You came to find me specially? What's the matter?"
"Uh..." Tezolo hesitated to speak.
At this time, Eric suddenly remembered Tezolo's past:
The phrase that the dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon is a perfect interpretation of Gilder Tezolo.
He met his true love when he was young, so he decided not to do bad things anymore, and to save Stella, he worked day and night to save money.
But when he was about to save enough money, Stella was easily bought by the Tianlong people. The angry Tezolo became angry with the Tianlong people, and he was also caught. He was marked with the hoof of the Tianxiang dragon and became a Tianlong person. slave.
Until one day two years later, in order to see him crying bitterly, the Tianlong people specially told him the news of Stella's death.
The despair and pain brought by the Tianlong people are deeply rooted in his heart, and at the same time it took away his true love and longing for a better tomorrow.
He hated the Tianlong people, and also hated himself who had no money. He used the golden fruits he stole from the Don Quixote family, coupled with his business acumen, to earn a jaw-dropping amount of money in just a few years. amount.
"A guy without money will achieve nothing, only be dominated!" He took this sentence as his motto, and gradually became arrogant.
Tezolo was once enslaved and oppressed as a slave, and after gaining power, money, and status, he also began to enslave and oppress others.
Eric suddenly thought that Tezolo hadn't built a giant ship yet, so he seemed to be saved?
"Tezolo?" Eric invited, "Come on my boat and talk."
"Yes, yes!" Tezzolo replied loudly.
"Master Tezolo?" Baccarat was a little worried about the safety of the boss.
"It's okay, Sir Eric will not hurt innocent ordinary people." Tezolo comforted his subordinates.
Estes said lightly: "That's hard to say, and you are not an ordinary person."
……
When we came to the conference room inside the cabin, only Eric, Estes, Kurumi, Chitong and Tezolo were left.
Eric first opened the topic: "You came to look for us because of the killing of Tianlong people, right?"
"You, you know?" Tezuolo was taken aback.
"Yeah." Eric nodded: "I also know about your little-known past."
The girls next to him quietly listened to the unclear conversation between Eric and Tezolo, and no one interrupted.
"..." Tezuolo lowered his head and spoke again after a long time, asking in a low tone, "Will you look down on me?"
"How could it be." Eric shook his head: "I hate the Celestial Dragons even more, and I wish I could kill those piggies."
"!" Tezuolo opened his eyes, and tears poured out of his eyes, gradually blurring his vision.
"Sorry, I'm a little excited." Tezuolo hurriedly wiped away his tears with his sleeves, and the sleeves, which were sewn with expensive fabrics, were deeply wet with tears.
Several ice-snow smart women instantly understood that it was another person who had been abused by the Tianlong people.
"I was a slave of the Draconians." Tezolo told his story, from meeting Stella to becoming a slave, from the death of his beloved to escaping from the Holy Land, and now the secret business.
"Is it appropriate for you to reveal yourself so cleanly?" Estes was a little speechless.
"If it's yours, then there's no problem!" Tezolo's eyes lit up: "When I saw everyone capturing the Tianlong people and the nobles of various countries and saving the slaves, I knew that you were the one I would follow to the death. your nobleman!"
Tezolo knelt down on one knee, and said with pleading expression: "Master Eric, please kill all the Tianlongren..."
Eric looked at the groveling Tezolo, feeling deeply moved, which was completely different from Tezolo who appeared in the theater version.
Is it because I have been aloof for too long, and in the end, even I have become the person I hate the most?
"If you kneel down to me like this, won't I become the Tianlong person you hate the most?" Eric said with a smile, "Get up quickly."
Tezolo got up slowly, stared at Eric with a burning gaze, and said solemnly: "Yes."
Eric shook his head: "We can't do it now."
"I can wait!" Tezolo said first: "Perhaps only you and Master Esdeth dare to accomplish such a great cause."
"Allah." Kuang San was a little dissatisfied: "I can do it too, but Esdesh just happens to be good at abuse."
"Although I understand your hatred." Estes said blankly, "But I have no obligation to help you fulfill this wish. In addition, I hate the weak, especially when I can't do it myself and beg others Help guys."
"...uh" Tezolo lost his voice.
"You let a business genius go to fight? It's a waste of talent." Eric shrugged: "Also, Tezolo, do you understand what it means to kill all the Celestial Dragons?"
"..."
"It means overthrowing the world government."
Tezolo's eyes widened. Even though he has countless money, he is still powerless to face the world government that has stood at the top of the world for 800 years.
"So, are you ready to overthrow the world government?" Eric seemed to be talking about a trivial matter the size of a sesame seed.
Without the slightest hesitation, Tezolo replied loudly: "Please let me join!"
"Very good." Estes nodded: "Finally a little manly."
"Then, Lord Eric..." Tezolo asked softly, "What should I do?"
"..." Eric sighed with his hands on his forehead: "What was your previous plan? How to avenge the Tianlongren?"
"I originally planned to build a giant ship to hold the world's largest entertainment city."
"Oh!" Chi Tong's eyes lit up: "Is there any food?"
"Of course!" Tezzolo replied: "Eat, play, everything you can think of, there is everything in it."
"I really want to go now!"
"Uh..." It was Tezolo's turn to feel embarrassed: "The giant ship is still under construction..."
Chi Tong showed disappointment.
"The topic is off again." Eric urged: "Tezolo, get to the point."
"Yes!" Tezolo straightened his upper body slightly: "Open a casino, establish an illegal bank to serve the world's criminals, use the power of money to leverage the world government, and let them do things for me!"
"Although the idea is the same, but the way of doing it later has changed~"
"But..." Eric shook his head: "No matter how many Baileys you have, no one will shoot himself because you gave him a lot of money, right?"
Tezolo: "..."
"Become my subordinate!" Eric stretched out his right hand: "If you earn enough money for me, I will do my best to overthrow the world government. By then, the Tianlong people you catch will be at your disposal."
Tezolo stared blankly at Eric's right hand, and suddenly, he stretched out both hands to hold it firmly: "I am willing to be your subordinate!"
