HxH in One Piece World

Chapter 358 The news is finally here

The dragon slayer eventually becomes a dragon.

This sentence is enough to explain the past, present, and even the future of the Golden Emperor Tezzolo.

Tianlong people once brought him despair and pain deep in his heart, and also took away his love and yearning for a better tomorrow,

He hates Tianlong people, hates nobles, hates the so-called world where money can dominate everything.

so.

It took him less than twelve years to go from a worthless slave to the richest man in the world today.

A guy who has no money, only has to be dominated.

Taking this sentence as his motto, he gradually became invincible.

Once oppressed and dominated as a slave, after gaining power, money, and status, he also began to oppress and dominate others.

Over time, he became the person he once hated the most.

But he didn't care at all.

The only thing he can care about now is the Tianlong people!

Occasionally in the dead of night.

Tezzolo would always sit in a room without any light, while embracing the darkness, he unscrupulously exuded a cold killing intent aimed at the Tianlong people.

It's just that he can't.

Even if he dominates 20% of Bailey in the world, even if he can use the power of the world government, even if he has a lot of subordinates.

He couldn't reach the lifeline of the Tianlong people, and even when he looked up, he couldn't see the group of scumbags who were absolutely sheltered.

Having understood the [status quo], he doesn't like to look up at others, nor does he like to look up at the sky.

But now, he not only looked up at Maud, but also knelt down on his knees to welcome Maud's arrival in the most respectful manner.

This incredible scene shocked Baccarat and the others who rushed to the scene.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have imagined...

That mighty Lord Tezzolo actually bowed his knees to others.

how can that be?!!

Is Lord Tezzolo being manipulated?!

Baccarat and the others looked at Tezolo in disbelief.

Cavendish and Perona watched the arrival of Baccarat and others, but they were only on guard, without any substantial action.

Mainly because they don't understand the situation now.

Especially Cavendish, the mood is particularly complicated.

They were already ready to fight Tezzolo for 300 rounds.

However, before the official fight, Tezzolo kneeled to Maud?

Cavendish looked at Maud with a complicated expression.

He knew the fight was over by the time Tezzolo half-kneeled.

It was hard to get such an opportunity to gain merit, but it ended in such a way.

Cavendish was exhausted.

Maud looked at Tezzolo, who was half-kneeling to him, in surprise.

Not the slightest bit of hostility from Tezzolo, but some genuine respect.

Despite this, Maud did not relax his vigilance, and he would not easily accept Tezzolo's initiative.

The Golden Emperor I 'know' is not the kind of person who will bow down to others casually.

Maud is obsessed with autumn water, the tip of the knife hangs in front of Tezzolo's forehead, and the words are mixed with spikes.

Do you bow down...

Tezzolo slowly raised his head, facing the blade tip that was close at hand, looked at Maud with bright eyes, and said solemnly: But you have this qualification.

What's the reason?

Maud looked calm.

Tezzolo grinned with a silent smile, and said, You killed the Tianlong people, that's all.

...

Maud took a deep look at Tezzolo and took the autumn water back to its sheath.

At this moment, he temporarily regarded Tezzolo as a type similar to Hancock.

but.

He had to admit that Tezzolo's low-profile approach made him temporarily shelve the idea of taking Tezzolo's shot.

If Tezzolo didn't do it.

Then he will definitely kill Tezzolo and receive all of Tezzolo's gold.

As for this Gulan Tezzolo, Maud has no idea.

The main reason is that the size of the Gulan Tezzolo is too large, and since he doesn't have enough manpower, grabbing it is just a decoration, or it's a hassle.

I'm curious, what happened between you and the Tianlong people?

Putting away the knife, Maud didn't mind exposing people's wounds, and bluntly asked the question that he cared about the most.

He believes that the reason why Tezzolo treats him in this manner is obviously related to the dragon people.

When Tezzolo heard the words, he did not answer Maud's question immediately, but looked back at Baccarat and the others.

Looking at Tezzolo's move, Maud suddenly realized that the situation was not right, so he offered to propose without waiting for Tezzolo to speak:

Let's talk in a quieter place.

it is good.

Tezolo nodded.

Maud's proposal was exactly what he wanted.

After all, it is an unbearable past, and the slave status that makes him very sensitive...

He didn't mind revealing it to Maud, but he didn't mind letting others know, especially his subordinates.

Please come with me.

Tezzolo got up and led the way.

Maud took the handle of the knife and followed behind Tezzolo.

Before leaving, he motioned Perona to follow, and then gestured to Jaya and the others to guard the Netherland.

Tezzolo sensed Maud's movement, but felt nothing.

Although he has no intention of harming Maud, he even respects Maud very much.

But from Maud's point of view, he couldn't see his thoughts.

Even if he was sincere and honest, he couldn't expect Maud to believe it on the spot.

Trusting this stuff, like an onion, is meant to be peeled bit by bit.

Lord Tezzolo...?

Baccarat and the others looked at Tezzolo who strode over, and then looked at Maud who was following Tezzolo, looking a little overwhelmed.

Unsure of the situation, they really want to ask Master Taizolo here to clarify.

But judging from Lord Tezzolo's expression, it doesn't seem like an opportunity to ask questions on the spot.

Their judgment is correct.

Before leading Maud to a quiet place, Tezzolo didn't intend to help the group of subordinates here.

At least not now.

Baccarat.

Tezzolo called out Baccarat's name as he passed by.

Huh? Lord Tezzolo!

Hearing this, Baccara straightened her back subconsciously and looked at Tezzolo.

Tezzolo glanced at Baccarat and said calmly, Your 'ability' did not disappoint me.

After finishing speaking, regardless of Baccarat's reaction, he led Maud and strode towards the Tazzolo Tower.

This giant ship is named after him and Quran.

Buildings or areas such as hotels, casinos, and commercial areas on the ship are basically named after his Tezzolo name and the word gold.

Hearing Tezzolo's words, Baccarat was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to say something, he saw that Tezzolo had gone far.

Tanaka, who was beside him, was also hesitant to say anything, and could only silently watch Tezzolo and Maud walk away one after the other.

After Maud walked a distance, he looked back at Baccarat.

What Tezzolo said to this woman just now made him a little concerned.

Sea in the distance.

Reiju, who was carrying her three younger brothers, descended from the sky and landed firmly on the Germa Island boat.

Fortunately, the other party didn't chase after him...

Throwing the three younger brothers on the ground, Leiju looked back at the Guran Tezzolo in the distance with lingering fears.

If she could, she didn't want to encounter monsters like Maud and Tezolo again.

Gaji glanced at the three Iji who had been thrown on the ground by Reiju, and instead of worrying and caring as a father, there was indifference and disappointment in their eyes.

...

Without saying a word, he watched the doctors who had been seated in advance put the three of Ichi on a stretcher, and then looked at the Guran Tezzolo in the distance again.

Gaji's undisguised indifference was seen by Reiju on the side, and he didn't feel anything.

Even if these three reckless younger brothers saw Jiazhi's attitude, they would be like her, and they would not feel it at all.

Gage stared at the giant ship in the distance, and said solemnly: Joelly Bonnie got on the ship of the Maud Pirates... That's an unstable factor.

Um?

Leiju was startled when she heard the words.

Her attention just now was on Maud and Tezzolo, but she didn't notice that Joelie Bonnie was on the Maud Pirates' ship.

Joe Ellie Bonnie...

She knew this woman, and she knew that this woman's abilities were the last and most important piece of the puzzle in her father's ambitions.

She remembered her father saying that this woman had always been under the control of the World Government.

To get that ability is a trivial matter.

I didn't expect-

This woman, who has been under the control of the World Government, actually appeared on the ship of the Maud Pirates.

If the world government knows about this, I am afraid it will not let it go.

This also means that with the addition of new hatred and old hatred, the friction between the World Government and the Maud Pirates will only intensify.

Thinking of this, Leijiu felt a wave in her heart.

Jiazhi slowly retracted his gaze, tilted his head and glanced at the thoughtful Leiju, and said with a blank expression: In a short while... this world may undergo earth-shaking changes.

Leiju's eyes changed slightly, and she looked at her father silently.

An earth-shaking change...?

......

Enter the Gurran Tezzolo.

A car driven by a turtle drives on the bridge connecting to the bow.

She is Baccarat, she has eaten the lucky fruit, and has the ability to freely mobilize luck.

Tezzolo sat in the front seat of the car and took the initiative to reveal to Maud about Baccarat's abilities.

He did this because he noticed that Maud seemed to care a little about what he had just said to Baccarat.

In order to gain Maud's trust as soon as possible, Tezzolo will take the initiative to explain.

Maud was deeply surprised by Tezzolo's voluntary disclosure.

Not only because of Baccarat's ability, but because of Tezzolo's unwise behavior.

To him, Tezzolo didn't look like someone who would do this kind of demented behavior.

But Tezzolo did just that.

It's no different from Hancock.

Could it be that those who have been persecuted by the Tianlong people will become like this in the end?

If Tezolo and Hancock are the same type of people.

Then, it might not be difficult to bring him under his command.

Even if it can't be conquered, there is a high probability that they can cooperate.

Leaving aside Tezzolo's strength, the power network that Tezzolo has developed to this day is exactly what Maud lacks at present.

If you recommend Tezzolo to Sunny's side, it will bring a lot of help to Sunny.

Overall, Tezzolo is without a doubt a good partner.

certainly.

It would be best if it could be subdued.

While Maud's thoughts were turning, he calmly said: Is it really good to disclose the ability information of my subordinates to others casually?

I do it because of you.

Tezzolo said the reason without being hypocritical at all.

For him, it's one step in building trust.

Not to mention revealing Baccarat's ability information, it doesn't matter if he reveals his ability information.

...

Maud didn't know how to answer Tezzolo's words for a while, so he could only be silent.

Seeing that Maud didn't speak, and thinking that it would take a while to drive from here to the tower, Tezzolo took the initiative to provoke a topic related to Baccarat's ability.

In this regard, Maud basically did not answer, and let Tezzolo chat there.

A few minutes passed.

After listening to Tezzolo's self-report, Maud knew that the reason why they encountered Tezzolo here by chance was probably because of Baccarat's blessing on Tezzolo's good luck.

Maud was slightly dumbfounded.

From the moment I first saw Tezzolo—

Although Maud has a lingering sense of weirdness, he can only think that it is because he is lucky, so he does not need to search hard, and the prey is delivered to the door by himself.

Only then did I know that it was not that he was lucky, but that Tezzolo, who had always wanted to see him, was lucky.

He had thought it would be extremely outrageous to run into Tezzolo here.

Knowing that the ability of the lucky fruit is at work, it is a little relieved.

but.

What happened to the Vinsmoke family that I ran into at the same time?

Thinking of this, Maud pondered and deduced a little.

Then came an almost guesswork conclusion.

The Vinsmoke family will appear here, and it should be Tezolo's luck.

According to Maud's deduction process, if the Vinsmoke family did not appear here by chance.

Then, there would be no dispute with Tezzolo, and Tezzolo would not leave the tower and come to the bow.

If such a buffer is missing.

I'm afraid, Maud won't sit here and chat with Tezzolo right now, but when he discovers the Goran Tezzolo, he will do it first...

It can be speculated that the meaning of the Vinsmoke family's presence here is to help Tezzolo prevent disasters.

In terms of results, Maud's conjecture was largely correct.

The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.

Some people are lucky and some people are unlucky.

Baccarat put a lucky aura on Tezzolo.

After the ability took effect, Tezzolo met Maud as he wished.

But in contrast, with Maud's consistent style and motivation, there is a high probability that it will pose a threat to Tezolo, who is eager to see him.

As the saying goes, luck is also part of strength.

However, Baccarat gave Tezzolo the strong luck aura, but it could not compete with the powerful strength of Maud.

In this way, the strong luck halo can only move out a hapless person to help Tezzolo resolve the crisis.

And that unfortunate one is the Vinsmoke family.

The tortoise car is speeding through the streets.

The scenery that Maud saw along the way can only be described as resplendent.

This prosperous urban scene, which is intoxicated with money, is incompatible with the world of pirates he knows, but more like the scenery in the world of hunters.

With a little emotion, Maud accompanied Tezzolo to the golden tower located in the rear half of the ship.

After a while.

Tezzolo leads Maud to an empty room.

I used to be a slave of the Celestial Dragons.

These were Tezzolo's first words entering the room.

Maud looked calm.

Before that, he had almost guessed it.

Tezzolo looked at Maud's reaction, slightly surprised.

He also thought that the fact that he, who was called the Golden Emperor by the world, was a slave of the dragon people, would at least surprise Maud.

The result was different from what was expected. Maud, who heard this, was so calm that he could not see any waves.

Aren't you surprised at all?

Tezzolo looked at Maud.

Should I be surprised?

Maud asked back, paused, and added: However, I'm a little curious about your experience.

Tezzolo took a deep look at Maud.

at this time.

There was a sudden call from a phone bug in the room.

The source of the sound is a watch phone bug on Maud's wrist.

Maud thought about it for a while, then lifted the lid on the spot and connected the phone.

captain.

Lafayette's voice comes from the phone bug, much to Maud's surprise.
