One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 102: Hegemony!
“I…lost…”

Tezulo opened his eyes and looked at the blue sky with empty eyes.

In the end, am I still unable to do anything?

Stella...

"Just lost."

During Luo's treatment, the arm that was injured by Rhodes from using [Ba Quan] has completely recovered.

Not only that, with the help of the golden finger, the recovered Rhodes was even a little stronger than before.

Moreover, after an actual combat, Rhodes clearly felt that he had a deeper understanding of [Baguo] and the boxing style [Baquan] derived from it.

If I were to use [Ba Quan] again now and control the output power, it shouldn't put a burden on my body anymore.

In this way, even in one battle, it might be possible to use it several times in a row.

Thinking of this, Rhodes felt satisfied.

This will be his regular move from now on!

"At least I saved my life."

Rhodes looked at Tezoro lying on the ground.

Mingming's injuries have basically recovered, and with his physique, he can now move normally.

However, Tesoro just lay on the ground, staring at the clouds in the sky with lifeless eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

Could it be that he became autistic because of the beating?

Thinking of Moonlight Moriah who was beaten into autism by Kaido and is still hiding in the Devil's Delta, and then looking at Tesoro who was lying on the ground like a salted fish, Rhodes couldn't help but have a headache.

He had wanted to make Tesoro his long-term meal ticket.

……

As expected, even if I have a lot of wealth, I still can't control my own destiny!
Tezulo looked at the clouds in the sky. The clouds gathered together seemed to turn into Stella in his eyes.

That is the eternal white moonlight in his heart, and also the eternal pain in his heart.

If I die like this, will I see you in heaven, Stella?
No, Stella should be in heaven.

People like me will probably go to hell.

However, this is fine.

There must be such things in hell, the so-called [Gods]—the celestial dragons!

"give up?"

Rhodes' voice suddenly reached Tezoro's ears.

"Are you going to die with regrets?"

"If that's the case, even if you die, you won't be able to face yourself."

Rhodes' words were like a knife stabbing into Tezoro's chest, bringing back a glimmer of light in his eyes.

"Pity?"

As he muttered to himself, Tesoro's expression gradually became ferocious, and the memories that had been buried deep in his heart resurfaced in his mind.

The gentle Stella, the Celestial Dragon who dragged her away, the slave trader who sold her, and the mark left behind.

"How can I not have regrets! I haven't brought those guys down yet!"

Looking at Tesoro who was roaring with a ferocious expression, Rhodes couldn't help but clapping his hands.

"Good! Very energetic!"

"It seems that you don't plan to commit suicide. Then, we can talk about our business next!"

As he spoke, Rhodes took out a heart that was separated by a special power from his arms.

Even in Rhodes' hands, the heart was still beating strongly.

After squeezing it a little harder and observing the change in Tezoro's expression, Rhodes released his heart.

"As you can see, this is your heart!"

Rhodes showed the heart in his hand to the other party.

"You don't get to see your own heart very often."

The ability of the surgery fruit?
Thinking of the user of the Ope-no-fruit in the Lodo Pirates, Tesoro suddenly understood.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

No longer caring about the heart in Rhodes' hand, Tezoro regained his composure.

After Rhodes awakened his deep-seated memories and rekindled his desire to survive and the flame of revenge, Tesoro began to think calmly about the current situation.

There are no kind-hearted pirates. He was defeated by the pirates. Since the pirates did not take his life, they naturally wanted to get other things from him.

Not to mention, the other party also used the power of the devil fruit to obtain his heart and control his life.

Is that why you used words to arouse my belief in survival?

Indeed, compared to a dead person, a living me can be more helpful to them. And the most attractive thing about me is...

"Of course it's money!"

Rhodes looked at Tezoro, a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.

"I want 50 billion Baileys!"

"50 million Baileys?"

Tezulo was slightly stunned.

He thought that Rhodes, who controlled his heart, would take the opportunity to make some other requests.

After all, I have already decided to live for my goal, so I will agree to any conditions.

less!
Seeing Tezoro's reaction, Rhodes understood instantly.

So rich!
He is worthy of being called the Golden Emperor!

Even for the Four Emperors, the bounty was less than 50 billion berries. I didn't expect that such a number would not be able to shock the other party at all.

Sure enough, I still have too little experience.

"Per year!"

Rhodes added.

"50 billion Baileys a year!"

"Is that all?"

Tezulo looked at Rhodes.

Since the other party has control over his heart, the demands he makes naturally cannot be a one-time deal.

If it were him, after controlling the other party's life and death, he would definitely squeeze out all the value of the other party.

In comparison, the requirement of 50 billion Baileys per year is really not worth mentioning.

The money he spent on arranging things up and down alone was more than that.

So rich!

Seeing Tezoro's indifferent reaction, Rhodes suddenly felt sour in his heart.

Being rich is awesome!

You make me look stupid!

"Can I ask, what is your goal?"

Skipping over the matter of 50 billion Baileys, Tesoro suddenly asked Rhodes this.

"Target?"

Rhodes was still thinking about the conditions he proposed to Tezoro.

It’s still less!
I really didn't expect that Tezoro is so rich!
"Become the hegemon in this world."

Rhodes answered nonchalantly.

"You're not going to become the Pirate King? I've seen too many pirates like you who all dream of becoming the next Pirate King."

"Even if he was the Pirate King, he was still executed."

Rhodes shook his head.

"I want to be the greatest hegemon in this world!"

The greatest hegemony?

If we were to say who is the greatest hegemon in this ocean, it is neither the Marine Headquarters, nor the Four Emperors of Pirates, nor the Seven Warlords of the Sea, nor the so-called kings of the underground world.

It’s the world government!
In other words, it is the race of gods that reside high above Marijoa and rule this world - the Celestial Dragons!

Want to become the greatest hegemony?

So, first of all, we must pull down the person who originally occupied this position!

A smile appeared on Tezulo's face.

The battle with Rhodes finally made him wake up.

Even if he can control most of the world's gold, possess a large amount of wealth, and even influence some decisions of the world government.

However, without the corresponding power to protect it, all of this is nothing but castles in the air.

However, he cannot fight against the current world government by his own strength alone.

In this case.

“To be the biggest”

"Let me help you achieve new hegemony in this world!"
