Then he saw the man standing in the middle of the street, who was wearing a simple shirt and trousers and a straw hat.
That straw hat!
Tesoro's pupils contracted sharply, and his body froze on the spot.
The guy who fought the Celestial Dragons wasn't some greenhorn, but the most powerful sea emperor in the New World right now!
Straw Hat Luffy, Monkey D. Luffy!
That monster who defeated Kaido and Big Mom in succession, with a bounty of 5.5 billion Berries!
Tezzolo felt his stomach churning.
He would rather have ten reckless young fools than face a maritime emperor.
That was someone who overturned Impel Down during the Impel Down War and slew Celestial Dragons in the Sabaody Archipelago; he was someone a mere Gold Saint could not afford to offend.
"Bakara, contact the World Government for me!" Tesoro roared, and his body began to change.
Gold emerged from his skin, spreading rapidly throughout his body like liquid metal.
His body began to turn transparent, transforming into flowing gold, and he merged into the golden floor beneath his feet, disappearing into the palace.
Karina watched Tesoro vanish in golden form, her eyes gleaming.
The opportunity is coming!
She had been lying in wait here for two months, waiting for this moment.
With the arrival of the Four Emperors and their attack on the Celestial Dragons, this place is going to be quite lively. Just look at the reactions of the guests; they all fled in panic, screaming and howling like ghosts.
Such a chaotic atmosphere is perfect for a thief like her to do something.
Moreover, there's a little cat thief in the Straw Hat Pirates that she doesn't want to see; if she does, things will get complicated.
The other party now has the backing of four emperors, which is something a petty thief like her can't compare to.
"Never mind, let's get started."
Karina plans to take this opportunity to steal Tesoro's treasure vault.
Her movements were light and quick, like those of a seasoned pro.
For the past two months, she has been using her identity as a songstress to move freely in and out of this golden palace, and she knows the layout of every floor, every passage, and the changing of the guards by heart.
She had already figured out the location of the treasure vault.
Right at the very bottom of this palace, there is a secret chamber personally guarded by Tezzolo.
It is said that the place holds astronomical wealth accumulated by the Golden Emperor over the years.
Karina jogged along, took off her gold-sequined dance dress, revealing the tight-fitting nightsuit she had already put on underneath.
Her long purple hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, and her face had changed, transforming her from a glamorous songstress into an inconspicuous ordinary female tourist.
Disguise is her specialty.
Nami, that little thief, can disguise herself, but Karina is no less skilled.
The commotion outside is getting louder and louder.
Karina peeked out from around the corner of the stairs and saw a group of tourists running towards the exit, screaming and howling.
Those wealthy people who could casually throw away millions of dollars in casinos without batting an eye were now running faster than rabbits, completely devoid of their usual elegance and composure.
The Celestial Dragons have been attacked, and a Marine Admiral could be deployed at any moment. This level of conflict is not something ordinary people are qualified to witness.
Karina silently thanked the straw-hatted boy who had defeated the Celestial Dragon.
If he hadn't made such a commotion, she, the thief, would never have had the chance to sneak into the vault alone.
Tesoro was too confident in his Golden City, believing that no one would dare to cause trouble on his territory. Therefore, although the vault was well-guarded, it was not invincible.
The guards are now in complete disarray.
"A Celestial Dragon was attacked? Who did it?"
"Whoever did it, get to the higher-ups and provide support!"
"But what about the treasure vault?"
"Who cares about the treasure vault now? If the Sea Emperors come, we'll fight them! Do you want to be killed by a Celestial Dragon's Marine Admiral or by one of the Four Emperors?"
The guards exchanged panicked words and then scrambled to the ground.
Karina waited until they had all left before emerging from the shadows.
"All the babies are mine now."
The next second, she bumped right into someone.
"I was wondering why this place smelled so familiar. It really is you, Karina."
When Karina saw who it was, she was horrified and turned to leave.
But a hand was already on her shoulder.
The force was neither too strong nor too weak, yet it was like a sturdy lock that firmly bound her in place.
The smoke dissipated.
A woman with long orange hair stood behind her, one hand gripping her shoulder, a half-smile on her face.
Nami.
"Is your nose like a dog's?"
Karina looked at her 'best friend' whom she hadn't seen for many years with a wry smile.
"How did they find me?"
"No, I was just accompanying our captain to find the owner of your ship, and we just happened to run into you."
Nami looked at her with a grin, "I knew you wouldn't come to a place like this."
"Do you know her, Nami?"
Luffy stood to the side, sizing up Karina with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"Ah, she's my old friend."
Nami smiled and said to Karina, "Right?"
Karina felt the grip on her shoulder and her lips twitched slightly. "Yes, yes, yes! We're good friends! Long time no see, Nami!"
She dared not say no.
The Four Emperors are right before our eyes.
The other party is Nami's captain, not her captain.
Furthermore, Nami is now a wanted criminal with a bounty of hundreds of millions of Berries. She is surrounded by a faint mist, which is a characteristic of the Logia-type Cloud-Cloud Fruit. Once Nami sets her sights on you, escaping will be extremely difficult.
Karina groaned inwardly.
I originally intended to keep it all for myself, but now I don't even know if there will be any left.
Just as she knows Nami very well, Nami also knows her very well.
"So, tell me honestly if there's anything here that's worth your attention, or I'll release my captain." Nami grabbed Luffy's arm and raised an eyebrow at Karina, trying to intimidate her.
Karina's lips twitched.
She knew perfectly well that Nami was threatening her, but she couldn't say anything.
After all, they have a Yonko crew standing behind them.
Moreover, she always felt that this woman was showing off her man to her.
Chapter 527 If nobody wants it, it's mine!
Have you ever heard of the Golden Emperor's treasure trove?
Karina had no choice but to honestly reveal her information: "Tezzolo has hidden all the wealth he has amassed over the years in a corner of this ship. However, opening that treasure vault is quite troublesome. I know where it is, but it will take some time."
Nami's eyes instantly transformed into the shape of Belial.
"Nami, how about we team up?"
This sounds irresistible!
Karina put on a fawning smile. "I'll take you there, and we'll split the treasure we find. We haven't seen each other for so many years, let's just rekindle our old friendship."
"Equally divided?"
Nami looked at her with a half-smile, "Alright, let's talk about this with our captain."
Karina's face stiffened.
This woman is really something else.
"The split is 90/10, so this is just me being sentimental."
Nami looked Carina up and down and said, "I think it's because we're here that Tesoro's attention is all on us, which is why you have a chance to go to the vault. Tell me, didn't we play a big part in this?"
Luffy felt like complaining.
Nami was just complaining that he started fighting as soon as he arrived, and that he should at least give them some time to shop before talking.
Now it's absolutely delicious!
However, he was starting to feel a bit overwhelmed by the idea of splitting the profits 90/100.
"Nami, you're so cruel!" Karina couldn't help but exclaim.
A 90/10 split?
The two of them originally split the profits 50/50 when they collaborated.
Things have changed.
Nami patted Karina on the shoulder. "I'm saving you, you see? We're best friends, right? How could I watch my best friend be in danger? Didn't you just say we're best friends?"
