White Dragon, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

Tesoro instinctively stood up and looked at Tanaka, who was reporting the news, in disbelief.

That monster, the White Dragon... how did he end up in Grantezoro?

Because the White Dragon destroyed the Donquixote Family, he eliminated a major threat to Tesoro.

In a sense.

Tesoro was still very grateful to that Shichibukai.

However, "thank you" does not mean that Tesoro wants to make formal contact with the White Dragon!

Bai Long's rise to fame was too short, but too fast.

The world's impression of "White Dragon" mainly comes from his battle record.

According to Tesoro's knowledge, White Dragon defeated three of the Seven Warlords of the Sea: Crocodile, Lizard King, and Heavenly Demon.

Especially the Lizard King and the Heavenly Yaksha.

These two individuals, along with their organizations and forces, were almost entirely eradicated by Bai Long!

The only exception is Crocodile and Baroque Studio.

No one knows why the sand crocodile was able to escape from the white dragon's grasp...

Even Tesoro was unaware of the full story.

But one thing is certain about Tezzolo—

White Dragon is definitely a very, very, very dangerous guy!

Could it be that the White Dragon wanted to visit Grantezoro, the world's largest entertainment city, because of its splendor and luxury?

The thought only flashed through Tesoro's mind for a moment.

"Tanaka! Go and make arrangements with your subordinates! Have them prepare a top-tier reception banquet as quickly as possible!"

Tesoro quickly gave the order to Tanaka, and then he walked to the top of the central golden tower.

Judging from the perspective of "importance".

White Dragon is definitely the most important "guest" that Grantezoro has received in the past few days.

Regardless of the other party's intentions.

Tesoro now only wants to avoid conflict with the white dragon as much as possible.

He doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of Donquixote Doflamingo!

"They've come with ill intentions!"

……

Grantezolo, a casino.

The casino, which should have been bustling with activity, was now so quiet that only the crisp sound of dice clattering could be heard.

Click! Click!

All eyes in the room were focused on the blind man who was shaking the dice cup.

Yi Xiao held the dice cup with both hands, shook it three times gently, and then placed it on the table.

"open……"

"Open it!!"

The gamblers around him stared intently at the dice cup beside Yi Xiao and the mountain of chips, as if their eyes were bloodshot from gambling.

But Yixiao showed no intention of conforming to the opinions of the others around her.

He put down the dice cup, picked up the money bag, and ignored the mountain of chips beside him. Instead, he picked up the unremarkable Supreme Greatsword [Blackline] that was leaning against the side.

Let's stop here for today.

Yi Xiao stood up, holding the "Black Line" as if it were a guide cane, and walked calmly towards the casino entrance.

The gamblers in the casino were all shocked by Yixiao's actions.

Everyone turned to look at the dealer.

But the dealer was also looking at another person—Bakala, who was standing next to Yixiao dressed as a bunny girl.

"guest."

When Bakara saw that Ichisho wanted to leave the casino, she remembered Tezzolo's instructions and quickly followed Ichisho.

"Where else would you like to go? I'm a hostess in Grantezoro, and I know every corner of this world's largest entertainment city by heart!"

"No need, Miss who brought me 'luck'."

With a smile, he continued walking steadily toward the casino entrance.

"It's been a long time since I've won so decisively."

"Although you may have other thoughts in mind, I am still very grateful for your help."

"You can handle the chips I just won on the table."

Lucky?

Bakara was slightly taken aback, and her heart was instantly filled with horror.

This seemingly ordinary, blind, chubby man had actually "seen through" her Devil Fruit ability.

Tesoro's order was for this blind, fat man to "make a fortune" in Gran Tesoro...

Bakara, forcing herself to smile, followed suit.

"guest……"

"Miss."

He smiled and walked out of the casino, looking up at the sky.

"It might not be safe here later, you should find somewhere to hide."

Not safe?

Bakara instinctively wanted to refute.

But when she smiled and looked up at the sky, she saw the blue-eyed white dragon in the sky.

All the rebuttals were instantly swallowed by Bakara.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea... Haku..."

Yi Xiao gripped the cane-sword [Blackline] in his hand tightly, his expression slightly darkening.

"So it really was him!"

……

The blue-eyed white dragon roamed freely in the skies above the new world.

Storm stood atop the dragon's head, looking down at the giant golden ship on the sea below.

"This is 'Grantezoro'? It's as huge as I remember!"

Storm has seen quite a few "big ships".

He even personally traded several large naval warships.

However, even the largest naval warships are as small as toy boats compared to the Grantezoro on the sea.

The terrifying three-masted sailing ship in the Devil's Triangle is also quite large.

However, despite bearing the name "sailboat," the "Thriller" was actually converted from an island.

But the Grantezoro on the sea below is a real "man-made giant ship"!

"If we're only talking about size, perhaps only Noah on Fishman Island can surpass Grantezoro in terms of volume?"

Several thoughts flashed through Storm's mind.

"Perhaps the ancient weapon 'Pluton,' hidden in Wano Country, is also a super-large ship, but this cannot be confirmed at the moment..."

Storm suppressed his distracting thoughts and manipulated the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to approach Grantezoro.

And at this time.

A change in shape occurred at the top of the central golden tower of Grantezoro.

A staircase made entirely of gold grew from the top of the central golden tower and stretched all the way up to the sky.

A golden ladder to heaven!

On the very top step of this golden stairway to heaven stood a tall man with a full head of green hair and an exaggerated smile on his face.

Storm recognized the other person's identity at a glance.

Golden Emperor Gild Tesoro!

"White Dragon! I am Gild Tesoro!"

Tezzolo spread his arms and shouted to Storm from afar.

"Welcome to my Grantezoro!"

"Golden Emperor".

Storm stood atop the head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, gazing at Gild Tezzolo across from him.

"Nice to meet you, I am Vongola Storm."

Upon hearing this, Tezzolo's deliberately businesslike smile suddenly became more genuine.

He was genuinely worried that the White Dragon's arrival in Grantezoro was to cause him trouble...

However, judging from the attitude the other party displayed, this Shichibukai doesn't seem to be as "belligerent" as the legends suggest...

"Grantezzolo has finally welcomed a heavyweight guest!"

Tesoro extended the invitation in a very generous manner.

"White Dragon, come down and have some fun! I've already arranged for my men to prepare a banquet!"

"Let's not rush into banquets and entertainment for now."

Storm stared at Tezzolo, his calm expression sending a shiver down the latter's spine.

"Golden Emperor, are you interested in the 'Pirate Emperor'?"

"...What?"

Tesoro was stunned and immediately began to doubt his own ears.

What is Bailong doing?

"I came to the New World this time to make contact with those 'Pirate Emperors' and take over another piece of territory."

Storm extended the invitation openly and honestly.

Would you like to come here?

Golden Emperor Gilder Tesoro.

Even setting aside the opponent's skill level.

This guy is really good at making money and managing the economy!

For this reason, Storm is still very interested in Gilder Tezzolo.

His Storm Pirates also lack this kind of "professional".

Tezzolo finally understood what Storm meant.

"...You want to recruit me? And then we can go and fight the Pirate Emperor together?"

Tezzolo's exaggerated smile now carried a hint of sarcasm.

"I'm so sorry, but I have no intention of being subservient to anyone!"

"I'm just an ordinary businessman, and I have no interest in fighting and killing."

If what arrives in Grantezoro is the "Red Dragon Emperor" instead of the "White Dragon".

So Tesoro, gritting his teeth, would still choose to temporarily board the Red Dragon Emperor's ship.

After all, the Red Dragon Emperor was a peerless warrior who had genuinely defeated both the Marine Admiral and the Pirate Emperor.

But what about the White Dragon?

The opponent has only defeated a few of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Sand Crocodile, King of Lizards, Heavenly Yaksha...

Can these oddballs be compared to the Buddha or the red-haired man?

According to Tezzolo

White Dragon is very strong.

But he's not as strong as the "Pirate Emperor".

Team up with the other person to "challenge" the Pirate Emperor?

The risk is just too great!

The risks and rewards are completely disproportionate!

There is absolutely no need for any "investment"!

Tezzolo must be out of his mind.

Otherwise.

He would never go to "make contact" with the Pirate Emperor with Haku.

Whitebeard, beasts, Big Mom, red hair...

Which of these four monsters is easy to get along with?

"That's a real shame..."

Storm sighed.

"It seems I'll have to train another 'Golden Emperor' willing to act alongside me..."

To cultivate another Golden Emperor?

Tezzolo's mockery grew even stronger.

Just as he was about to say something, a thick, black-red arc of electricity suddenly burst forth from the white dragon's body.

The black and red arc of electricity, carrying an unparalleled sense of oppression and impact, traversed the sky above Grantezoro, arriving in front of Tezoro in an instant, like a bolt of lightning chasing after light.

boom!!

The black and red arcs of electricity formed by the nine-star Conqueror's Haki directly enveloped Tesoro.

An incredibly powerful shockwave swept through Tesoro's mental world, like a super storm, ravaging and destroying his mental realm.

Tesoro felt his mind instantly go blank.

The renowned Golden Emperor suddenly rolled his eyes, lost consciousness, and fainted on the golden stairway to heaven that he had just personally created.

Before Storm's eyes appeared a seven-star trophy surrounded by stars.

[All Stars Trophy: Gild Tezzolo, the Golden Emperor]

[Tournament Rating: ★★★★★★★]

"Nine-level Conqueror's Haki can indeed knock out a seven-level powerhouse with a single glare..."

Storm raised an eyebrow as he looked at the unconscious Tesoro.

"But I still feel like this Golden Emperor is a bit too lame..."

Storm shook his head and put away the seven-star trophy.

Now is not the time to use the [Champions Cup].

Ignoring the unconscious Golden Emperor, Storm turned his gaze to another burly figure soaring into the sky.

He wore a purple robe, carried a wooden cane, was blind, and had a crisscross-shaped scar on his forehead.

"I never expected to meet you in Grantezoro..."

Storm watched the wild, fat tiger fly into the sky, a pleased smile spreading across his face.
