The Paper Fruit Among the Pirates

Great route, night falls.

"One, two, three, gorgeous performance~"

"Five, six, seven, waiting for your arrival~~"

"Life is like a game, waiting for your arrival~~"

Among the beautiful female singing voices, there are jazz saxophone, trumpet, and drum rhythm music, which is a decadent sound that can make people sway along with it.

"There's nothing you can't buy~"

"The hypocrite will be deceived sooner or later~~"

"I will cry in despair after being stabbed in the back~~"

Immediately afterwards, it was replaced by a mature man's voice. The hoarse voice was strangely dangerous, clearly showing that there was a 'trap' here.

"Gold and jive, forget about it all! Let's get away with it!" X2

Amidst the chorus of two men and women spreading across the sea, the Sunshine Mellie slowly sailed towards the giant cruise ship in front of it... or the island, and on the figurehead of the Sunshine Mellie:

"Wow, it's spectacular!!" X3

The three idiots in the straw hats are huddling on the figurehead of the cartoon lion head, looking at the huge Texas Hold'em game in front of them... ahem, the yacht Tezolo is drooling with envy, and his eyes are turned golden!

"It's a great ship. By the way, is this really a ship?"

The one in front of the Straw Hats is not so much a ship as a sea city.

The volume of this huge brightly lit ship is comparable to that of the 'Noah' of Murloc Island, and slightly inferior to Moriah's terrifying three-masted sailing ship. Although it can't keep up with the Navy's "combined transport ship", it is a real giant cruise ship, unlike Momo's ability to magnify.

"Mr. Roman, Luffy is too much!"

"That's right, he actually said that other ships are great in front of us!!"

Facing the angry Melly and Sonny, Roman calmly pointed to the huge and resplendent cruise ship ahead.

"The ship on the opposite side is beautiful, but it doesn't have the function of traveling and fighting at all. As long as you are willing, you can send it to the sea to feed the fish with a few shots. ——Facing the 'weak', you can show your grace by making proper concessions."

"Yes...is it?"

"So that's the case, then we will show off the demeanor of the strong..."

Looking at the two boat spirits who were fooled by Roman... or educated, Nami rubbed her forehead.

"This is not as simple as a ship. Its name is 'Gulan Tezolo'. It is not only a country, but also the largest entertainment city in the world. It is also an independent country and a demilitarized zone recognized by the government. Even the navy and CP is also a 'safe place' where you can't shoot casually."

Money can pass through the mind, especially when this guy who dominates 20% of the world's Baileys still has good strength.

Gilder Tezzolo, the captain of the ship, is also the king of the country. Known as the 'Golden Emperor', he is a person with golden fruit ability, who can control gold to stretch and deform at will, and is a master of fruit ability awakening.

Although Gilder Tezzolo's physical strength is comparable to that of Brother Ming, he is also an awakened devil fruit ability, and he can exert 200% of his power on his golden boat. General Si Huang was also unwilling to fight to the death with him. And through the huge amount of money, Gilder Tezolo was even able to influence the Tianlong people to order the navy, and he was regarded as a strong man in this world who played money to the extreme.

but:

And that's all.

The prosperity in front of him is the limit of Gilder Tezolo. If he dares to continue to expand his power and touch the interests of the world government, then the navy will not mind the justice of heaven to wipe him out. No matter how exaggerated the power of money is, it is the same thing for top powerhouses. But in any case, this is an excellent meeting place.

Navy and 'Pirates'!

"Guys, the target—"

"Playground!!"

Anyway, for Luffy, as long as there is enough 'interesting' place, it is a good place. And the huge yacht in front of him is a luxurious and enjoyable city that gathers all the food, drink and fun of human beings, which is guaranteed to make Luffy linger and forget to return.

There is a huge archway on the front of the ship, and the golden neon lights shine with the light of money. And as the Sunshine Melly sailed into the brightly lit waterway in front of it, glittering golden powder kept falling from above.

"Wow~~"

"These falling? Actually sprinkling gold powder..."

If it was Nami from the past, at this time, she should say, "Sweep it together and put it together". But now:

"Isn't it too upstart? It makes people feel that there is no trace of background at first glance."

The times are different, and Nami's aesthetics has been spoiled by Roman.

"Guild Tezzolo is only 41 years old this year, and it took only 9 years from a slave to the richest man in the world. What kind of background can he pay attention to? But he is not a simple nouveau riche..."

"Look, little Brin, the water has turned golden yellow."

"Is it a golden river? Compared with my family's chocolate cream river, it has its own characteristics, Sanji-san~~"

Sanji and Brin were looking at the scenery on the side of the boat, but Roman noticed that the frequency of "my home" in Brin's words was gradually increasing. It can be seen that although she broke away from the BIG MOM Pirates, she still has feelings for Wan Guo. Brothers and sisters have concerns.

Just don't know how to speak.

"Super~~ Cool!"

"Looks like fun."

If Franky and Robin are still reserved, then:

"Yo ho ho ~~ the bones have turned into gold,—gold bones!"

Brook, who was turning around, quickly became one with the Straw Hat Three Idiots, and Roman rubbed his temples. what is this? The older you get, the smaller your behavior?

As for Sauron?

Don't wake me up if you have nothing to do, just fall asleep with the knife in your arms.

"Well, these gold powders give me a very uncomfortable feeling."

Jinbei with a calm personality was shocked all over his body, and the gold powder that fell on him was washed away by the water on his skin. Giving Roman a glance—

?

"Is there something on my face?"

Facing the serious Jinbei, Roman shook his head.

"nothing."

These gold powders are not just for looking good and showing off their wealth, this is actually a sinister use of Tezolo's ability! He sprayed these gold powders at the entrance, apparently to show his wealth, but in fact the gold powder will enter the human body unconsciously! And as long as he has a thought:

It can turn people contaminated with gold powder into golden statues!

Of course, if you encounter a master who is cautious and maintains a domineering entanglement, these little tricks will be powerless. Or in front of a veteran strong man whose body is in a state of resisting fruit ability all the time under the influence of domineering all the year round, it is just a breeze.

Just like Jinping, even if he didn't wash off the gold powder on his body with water, it's impossible for these tiny things to control him. And the rest of the Straw Hats are...

Except that Luffy's armed domineering has reached the state of automatically resisting all abilities, the others have been quietly tricked.

This is the background of the old strong! Maybe the explosion is not as good as the rising stars, but their bodies basically have no shortcomings at all.

Well, forget it. Come to this kind of entertainment place, just relax. Anyway:

With myself here, I am not afraid of Tezuolo turning the world upside down.

Through the water channel gushing gold powder, a huge golden pool suddenly opened up in front of them... No, it should be said that the lake appeared in front of everyone. In the middle of the golden lake, Gilder Tezzolo is standing on a giant golden pillar in a golden and white tuxedo, tap dancing to jazz music.

It has to be said that before becoming a "king", "the richest man in the world", and "a strong man on the sea", Gilder Tezzolo was also an excellent singer and dancer. The thunderous cheers and applause all around were not fake, in fact, if it weren't for Draco, he would indeed spend his life as an artist.

Oh, Tianlong people.

With a touch of Roman's hand, half of the mask was covered on his face. Although there are quite a few people who know his true identity, they are all the world's top strongmen or those in power. Not to mention ordinary people, even the Golden Emperor in front of him would not be able to link the staff of the Straw Hat Regiment with the alternate admiral of the navy.

And on the surrounding golden pillars, there are also a large number of beauties in swimsuits as backup dancers. The cool dress and high legs make the atmosphere on the sunny Merry just now change suddenly:

"Mr. Sanji!"

"Ahem, Roman, let's go back to the cabin, there's nothing to see."

·····

"Don't be careless, haven't you noticed the surrounding environment?"

Roman circled his fingers around, not paying attention to those women at all.

"Golden pools, golden pillars, golden stages, golden buildings... that Gilder Tezzolo who is singing and dancing is a person with the ability of golden fruit. As long as he has a single thought, we will immediately be submerged in the sea of ​​gold , he is very strong."

"Oh, isn't this the same ability as that guy who... has a high-pitched voice?"

As soon as he heard that there was a 'strong man', Sauron, who was still asleep just now, became full of energy in an instant. It's just that he can't remember the name in his mouth——

"You're talking about Pica from Doflamingo's family, right? There is indeed a bit of similarity. But Tezolo is much better than Pica, and he is also a devil fruit awakener. This giant cruise ship full of gold is His absolute home court. If there is a conflict, we will face the attack of gold from all directions. Of course—"

"Gentlemen and girls,"

Following Tezzolo snapping his fingers on the opposite stage, a searchlight immediately fell on the Sunshine Meli.

"I'm really sorry, but the honored guest came to the door but was far behind--"

"Scream, cheer! Welcome to one of the four 'emperors' of the sea!"

As the searchlights came down one after another, the Straw Hats were full of cartoon style. It can be said that the Sunshine Melly, which is the only one in the whole sea, attracted everyone's attention. And the people standing on the deck:

"Everyone of the Straw Hat Pirates, and their captain—Straw Hat Luffy with a bounty of 3.1 billion!"

"Straw Hat Pirates,"

"Luffy who killed Kaido,"

"It's an extremely evil era where a reward of 3.1 billion is offered at such a young age!"

After a moment of silence, the crowd erupted with deafening noises ten times louder than before, and the screams of tens of thousands of spectators pierced the night sky!

"Hehehe, we seem to be very popular..."

Seeing that some people in the auditorium were so frightened that they were paralyzed to the ground, as well as those crowds who were huddled together in a panic, Roman touched his chin and decided to redefine the meaning of the word 'popular'.
