Especially when Joelie Bonney's nimble and smooth tongue wrapped around his index finger, Yang Ming could even feel the sticky sensation up close, and each touch seemed to bring a throbbing sensation to his soul.

Joely Bonney pulled Yang Ming's index finger out of her mouth, her cherry lips slightly parted, a glistening line of water connecting her fingertip to her lips, shimmering with a luminous color. Combined with the girl's flushed cheeks, it created a captivating scene. Even a straight man like Yang Ming couldn't help but feel a moment of dazedness.

Fortunately, the system notification in his ear finally brought Yang Ming back to his senses.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Honkai Impact 3rd. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"

The prize wheel only offers two categories of prizes: equipment and affixes.

Equipment: Desert Eagle, Grenade Launcher, Pulse Katana...

Affixes: Voidcraft, Infinite Tech Geek, Stormwalker...

【Terminator】: Affix that slightly increases attack power.

As he bestowed the title "Terminator" upon his Zanpakuto, Yang Ming glanced at the girl whose Crimson Dynasty spirits had not yet dissipated, a half-smile on his face, and teased her:

"I really want to see how you bite off my index finger."

As he spoke, Yang Ming beckoned with his finger in a slightly provocative manner.

A few drops of crystal-clear saliva still clung to her fingertips, gleaming with a soft sheen.

Jewelry Bonney's delicate face grew even hotter, and she couldn't help but spit out a curse, feigning anger to hide her inner shyness, and said:

"You bastard, are you trying to die?!"

"Believe it or not, I'll execute you right here and now!"

After saying that, Joelle Bonney pounced on Yang Ming like a mad kitten, her long legs tightly wrapped around his waist under her tight jeans, and her pink fists rained down on his chest.

This amount of force is enough to destroy a wall in one go.

But for Yang Ming, there was no harm done. It looked like two lovers who had a quarrel were flirting in their spare time, and they were in an ambiguous state with each other.

A familiar, sweet fragrance wafted over. Joelie Bonney was incredibly well-developed; her muscles beneath her fair skin were full of elasticity. Perhaps due to years of exercise, her legs retained smooth lines, resembling a delicate work of art.

Yang Ming casually wrapped his arms around Joelie Bonney's slender waist, shook his head and laughed:

"With your small frame, you think I'll execute you on the spot? I think that's a long way off!"

After saying that, Yang Ming put one arm around Joelie Bonney's slender waist and suddenly leaped off the volcanic rock pillar in the crater, jumping hundreds of meters away into the bottom of the mountain.

Jewelry Bonnie is not a Marine, has never learned the Six Powers of the Navy, and has no ability to fly.

The scorching heat from the volcano hit me, and the howling wind filled my ears.

As Yang Ming frantically jumped off the mountain, the scenery at the foot of the mountain drew ever closer, startling Joelle Bonney. Her heart pounded wildly, and she couldn't help but hug Yang Ming tightly. Her two soft breasts pressed against Yang Ming's face, making him feel as if he were suffocating for a moment.

"what!"

A high-decibel scream echoed through the air.

“It’s time to fly!”

The group of revolutionary soldiers who were walking along the mountainside turned their heads in unison when they heard the screams coming from the mountain.

But then, Yang Ming and Joelle Bonney embraced each other and leaped down the mountain in a peculiar manner. The girl's hat was gone, and her long pink hair was dancing wildly behind her head, giving her a more youthful and flamboyant look.

Kerla: "6!"

Long: "Young people these days really know how to have fun."

Bartholomew the Great Bear remained silent, his face terribly gloomy, emanating a low-pressure aura that caused those around him to involuntarily retreat three feet, fearing to provoke the tyrant bear's wrath.

Sin!

Bartholomew Big Bear couldn't help but cover his face, feeling that Yang Ming was deliberately retaliating against him for urging him to get married earlier.

But what can I do when my own daughter has such a taste?

Bartholomew Bear could only pretend not to see it, trying to avoid the problem altogether.

With the matter settled, Yang Ming enjoyed a period of peaceful life.

The life of an admiral at the Naval Headquarters is simple yet fulfilling. Unless something major happens, the Naval Headquarters generally does not dispatch admirals, allowing Yang Ming to act freely.

The New Hope Factory, Carrera Company, and Dinosaur Chamber of Commerce under his control are all thriving, constantly expanding their business scope and increasing their operating scale.

In the subsequent high-level meetings, Yang Ming began to gradually lay the groundwork, placing his own people in key positions in the naval branches near the Kingdom of Alabasta, or directly appointing them as base chiefs of the local naval branches.

Because the Alabasta Kingdom is located in the first half of the Grand Line, the surrounding naval branches are ranked lower. Even a colonel-level officer can serve as a base commander. Therefore, Yang Ming's promotion of his own people to the position of base commander will not arouse suspicion or vigilance from others. They will only think that Yang Ming is intentionally cultivating his own power, which is a perfectly normal thing.

Dragon also kept his promise, and the Revolutionary Army began to stir up trouble on the territory of the Beast Pirates.

Kaido of the Beasts is called the Emperor of the Sea not only because he is the strongest in the sea, but also because he occupied Wano Country and used it as his base to expand outwards. His sphere of influence encompasses hundreds of surrounding islands, with numerous towns and villages, forming a unique system of governance.

The local people did not pay taxes to the nobles, but instead paid taxes to the Beasts Pirates in exchange for their protection from foreign pirates.

Pirates are generally uneducated people, so it's easy for them to rob and plunder, but it would be much more troublesome to make them rulers.

Within Kaido's territory, including Wano Country and many other islands, people frequently starve to death.

The common people harbor deep resentment towards the Beasts Pirates, but due to Kaido's formidable reputation, they have always lived cautiously and dared not express any dissatisfaction.

The arrival of the revolutionary army ignited a fire in the hearts of the people, easily sparking an uprising among the locals.

The Beasts Pirates have been in a state of chaos lately, struggling to extinguish the fire started by the Revolutionary Army.

What troubled Kaido even more was that he couldn't understand when he had offended the Revolutionary Army.

The Revolutionary Army has always been elusive, especially with Dragon personally leading the team. Their strength is no less than that of a Marine Admiral. Even Kaido of the Beasts is not entirely confident that he can capture Dragon.

Just as the world's attention began to focus on the conflict between the Beasts Pirates and the Revolutionary Army, Yang Ming's personal secretary, Kalifa, walked into the office carrying a document. She walked with graceful steps, swaying her slender waist, and handed the document to Yang Ming.

"Captain, there's been progress in your investigation into the whereabouts of the Floating Fruit."

"Rumor has it that the Golden Emperor of Golden City recently recruited a Paramecia-type Lucky Fruit user who was blessed by Lady Luck and unintentionally obtained the Float-Float Fruit. He is now preparing to hold an auction and intends to sell the Float-Float Fruit for an astronomical price."

After Shiki the Golden Lion's death, the Float-Float Fruit was reborn in some corner of the world.

Now, Shiki the Golden Lion has become Yang Ming's Six Paths Puppet, codenamed Pride.

Because Shiki the Golden Lion had both legs amputated, his strength would be greatly reduced without the Float-Float Fruit ability, which is why Yang Ming instructed Kalifa to keep an eye out for relevant information.

His gaze inadvertently fell on Kalifa's black fishnet stockings, which accentuated her alluring legs. Yang Ming then quickly shifted his gaze and looked down at the contents of the document.

It must be said that Gild Tesoro, the Golden Emperor, was also a remarkable figure. He came from a poor family and was even captured by the Celestial Dragons and enslaved when he was 19. If it weren't for the Fishman hero Fisher Tiger causing a ruckus in Mary Geoise, Gild Tesoro would probably still be a slave, living a precarious life.

But fate is often so unpredictable.

After Gilder Tezzolo escaped, his life took a dramatic turn.

In the year 1510 of the Sea Calendar, which was the year Yang Ming traveled to, the Donquixote Family held an auction for the Gold-Gold Fruit. Unexpectedly, Gild Tesoro led a group of people there and caused a great disturbance, allowing him to successfully seize the Gold-Gold Fruit.

From that moment on, Gild Tesoro began his rise to power, not only founding the world's largest entertainment city but also gradually controlling 20% ​​of the world's circulating Berries. He had numerous entanglements with the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, becoming a veritable golden emperor dominating the underworld.

Among the top-secret intelligence gathered by Kalifa, there is one particularly interesting piece of information.

The Celestial Dragon who bought Stella and enslaved Gild Tesoro back then is actually the same person who is now the backer of Gild Tesoro.

As the saying goes, the person you hate the most when you're young is the person you'll grow up to be.

This statement undoubtedly came true for Gilles Tezzolo, a fate filled with irony.

"Before we wipe out the Beasts Pirates, let's practice on Gild Tesoro first."

"Who told him to not only adopt such an arrogant title as the Golden Emperor, but also to obtain the Float-Float Fruit, a top-tier Devil Fruit?"

"Every man is innocent, but he is guilty of carrying a jade."

Yang Ming stretched and said:

"Pass on my order: prepare the troops for deployment!"

Chapter 217 Without someone to protect, a gun becomes a useless toy.

If viewed from above, one would see a massive cruise ship, 10 kilometers long, crossing the ocean.

This enormous cruise ship, named Gran Tezzolo, is entirely constructed of gold. If it were in daylight, it would undoubtedly be dazzling with gold, exuding an air of nouveau riche extravagance from the inside out, giving people a direct sense of decadent luxury.

The view gradually descends, landing on the town buildings on the giant cruise ship, clustered together like building blocks. The bright moonlight pouring down from the clouds illuminates these unique buildings, making them look like a paradise on earth.

The Gran Tesoro is the world's largest entertainment city, and also a ship nation and demilitarized zone recognized by the World Government. It is an absolute sanctuary that the World Government cannot easily interfere with, and it is said to possess power no less than that of the Celestial Dragons.

Of course, the claim that their power is no less than that of the Celestial Dragons is just a way to fool outsiders who are unaware of the inside story.

In the eyes of true insiders, this entertainment city is also one of the derivative industries of the Celestial Dragons family, which is why it has such a unique status.

Otherwise, someone like Gild Tesoro, the Golden Emperor, with no family background, no connections, and no influence, possessing such immense wealth, would not be able to protect such an enticing fortune with just the strength of a Shichibukai.

The Gran Tezzolo is a global entertainment hub, housing hundreds of gambling establishments on its massive 10-kilometer-long cruise ship. It boasts a comprehensive range of gambling options, including games like Dou Dizhu, Pai Gow, Texas Hold'em, Blackjack, Texas Hold'em, Run Fast, Big or Small, and dice games. If you can imagine it, they can do it.

Under the cover of night, the Gran Tezolo was brightly lit, like a giant beacon illuminating the way forward on the pitch-black sea.

The nighttime street scene on the Gran Tezzolo is even more dazzling, with colorful lights and shimmering neon lights, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The towering buildings made of gold appear exceptionally majestic and imposing under the lights.

Tall coconut trees line the sidewalk, their broad leaves providing shade. Pedestrians throng the sidewalk, their laughter and chatter creating a bustling scene.

Every tourist was dressed in a grand manner, clearly indicating that they were either rich or noble; otherwise, where would they get the capital to come to the casino for a treat?

In this world of extreme wealth disparity, ordinary people toil day and night just to fill their stomachs with three meals a day. As producers, they have no chance to rest or enjoy themselves. The vast majority of the social wealth they create is plundered by the elites, nobles, and wealthy people, either directly or indirectly. It is no exaggeration to describe it as being ruthless and exploitative.

These wealthy elites, nobles, and tycoons squander the wealth created by ordinary people. The amount they gamble on a single gambling table might be enough to cover the hard-earned income of millions of ordinary people for a year.

But on this enormous cruise ship built of gold, no one cares about this, just as no one cares about the fish that the ship crushes.

Beneath this seemingly joyous and peaceful atmosphere, a steel warship suddenly appeared on the sea, cutting straight through the blue waves and speeding towards them.

The steel warship bears naval insignia, making it instantly recognizable as the flagship of a naval commander.

Even though scouts on the watchtower of the Guran Tezolo had already noticed the steel warship, they didn't take it seriously.

With the Celestial Dragons as their backers and the World Government endorsing their entertainment business, everything they do is legal and legitimate, so they have no worries about the Navy clearing them out.

Who would have that kind of guts?

Don't you want to stay in this business anymore?

It was precisely because of this arrogant attitude that no one stopped the steel warships from docking.

"Wow, is this the Golden City that has become famous in recent years?"

"It's just as beautiful as the rumors say!"
