Super Card System

Tesoro was acutely aware of how sensitive the presence of the revolutionary Dragon was!

Golden City frequently hosted high-ranking World Government officials and CP intelligence agents because of Tesoro’s covert partnerships with them. Tesoro provided them with funds and even bribed them in exchange for access to intelligence and the use of official power to resolve his problems.

Tesoro held these individuals, who could be bought with money, in contempt. These greedy hyenas could be fed enough money to use their power for his benefit.

However, he also knew that while these people might be under his control in other matters, they would not compromise when it came to dealing with the Revolutionary Army.

Especially with someone like Dragon, the situation was even more dire. If these agents learned about Dragon’s presence, they would go mad trying to capture him. If Tesoro opposed their actions, they would immediately report to the higher-ups in the World Government, risking the cancellation of his privileges.

Tesoro did not wish to provoke the Revolutionary Army, but when weighed against the power of the World Government, he ultimately chose to side with the latter.

Due to the low-profile nature of the Revolutionary Army, many people in the world didn’t fully understand its true strength. Even though Dragon was reputed to be the world’s most dangerous criminal, Tesoro’s choice to side with the World Government was quite normal. Tesoro was well aware that some Revolutionary Army members were secretly active in his Golden City. To Tesoro, these revolutionaries were like rats in the gutter, extremely bothersome. If he could use this opportunity to wipe them out, it would be perfect.

So, he immediately ordered his subordinates to mobilize fully and search the entire city for Dragon’s whereabouts.

After his orders were issued, the Five Elders indeed contacted him, expressing their appreciation for his decision. They instructed him to fully cooperate with the World Government officials, CP intelligence agents, and Marines currently in Golden City to capture Dragon.

The Gorosei (Five Elders) promised that if he succeeded in capturing Dragon, they would grant Tesoro unimaginable power!

After hanging up the phone, Tesoro sneered. He had a pretty good idea of what the so-called “unimaginable power” promised by the Gorosei would be—probably recognizing Golden City as a sovereign state and making him a king, or at most giving him the status of a World Government affiliate nation. Tesoro was quite disdainful of this. His current status and position were practically no different from those of a country. Becoming a World Government affiliate might not necessarily be better.

What Tesoro truly wanted was to maintain his current transcendent status.

However, for some reason, after deciding to assist the World Government in capturing Dragon, Tesoro had a sense of foreboding, as if he had overlooked something. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Why had Dragon suddenly appeared here? Could it be because of the Revolutionary Army members imprisoned in his golden dungeon?

Tesoro pondered for a while but couldn’t figure it out. Shaking his head, he decided to stop thinking about it. He stood up from the sofa, and Baccarat, who was serving him, helped him put on his suit. Snapping his fingers, Tesoro said, “Let’s go!”

He led the way out of the room, followed by his subordinates Baccarat, Tanaka, and the rest, leaving behind only a purple-haired beautiful girl in the room.

This purple-haired beauty was none other than Carina, a super-popular songstress recently discovered by Tesoro. She was considered a representative figure in Golden City and was always by Tesoro’s side, regarded as an important subordinate. However, since Carina had no combat ability, Tesoro decided to leave her behind this time.

After Tesoro left, Carina’s eyes flickered with cunning. Noticing that there were fewer guards in the room, she stood up and quietly slipped out.

As she left the room, Carina carefully avoided various surveillance cameras, deliberately choosing blind spots, and headed straight for the hotel where the Dragon Hunter Pirates were staying…

…………………………

While Tesoro was leading his men in a city-wide search for Dragon, Bakkin was also taking her son Edward Weevil around, looking for Dragon’s whereabouts.

Due to Edward Weevil being slammed into the ground by Dragon earlier, they lost track of Dragon and only knew the general direction he had gone. This left Bakkin very frustrated, forcing her to search based on memory.

However, during their chaotic search, they inadvertently encountered someone.

That person was former Admiral Aokiji!

Aokiji, along with Smoker and his group, had just finished eating at a restaurant and stepped outside, only to find the streets in turmoil, with Golden City’s guards searching for something everywhere. Aokiji found it strange, as Golden City was supposed to have excellent security.

While they were speculating about what had happened, Edward Weevil, carrying his mother Bakkin on his shoulder, rumbled past them…

As soon as Aokiji saw Edward Weevil, his pupils contracted sharply!

Aokiji was a student of Zephyr and had always held great respect for him, unlike others. When Zephyr’s naval training ship was attacked and his right hand was severed by the culprit, the entire Navy was shaken. They deployed a large number of personnel to search for the perpetrator worldwide.

Unfortunately, the culprit remained hidden in the New World, beyond the Navy’s reach. After some time, the search had to be abandoned.

However, they did manage to identify the culprit as Edward Weevil!

The Navy’s efforts to capture him gradually weakened and ultimately came to nothing. This was partly due to Edward Weevil’s immense strength and partly because of his distinctive crescent-shaped mustache. At the time, without fully understanding the true relationship between Edward Weevil and Edward Newgate (Whitebeard), the Navy did not dare to push too hard. Additionally, there might have been some secret schemes by the World Government involved. All these factors combined led to a half-hearted and ultimately unsuccessful pursuit.

Aokiji had always deeply regretted that he could not avenge his teacher Zephyr. Now, suddenly discovering Edward Weevil here, how could he hold back!?

Without thinking twice, he immediately chased after Edward Weevil and quickly reached his rear, kicking him hard in the lower back!

Boom! Edward Weevil’s huge body was sent flying far away by Aokiji’s powerful kick, bouncing on the ground like a balloon and cracking the pavement with each impact.

Aokiji, filled with rage, naturally struck with great force. Bakkin, who was sitting on Edward Weevil’s shoulder, was thrown off and landed hard on the ground, feeling as if her old back had nearly broken…

However, this kick did not injure Edward Weevil. He roared in anger as he stood up from the ground, with large chunks of ice falling off the area on his waist where Aokiji had kicked and frozen him.

“You… who are you!? Why did you sneak attack me!?”

Edward Weevil, with snot running from his nose and tears in his eyes, angrily shouted at Aokiji.

Then he saw his mother, Bakkin, trembling from her fall. He quickly ran over and helped her up.

Tashigi and Kuina, gripping the hilts of their swords, came up behind Aokiji. Smoker, with a cigar in his mouth, quietly said to Aokiji, “Admiral Kuzan, this place is recognized by the World Government as a demilitarized zone. Is it really okay to fight here?”

But Aokiji didn’t answer Smoker. He just stood with his hands in his pockets, staring coldly at Edward Weevil. “Edward Weevil, I’ve been looking for you for a long time! You attacked a Navy training ship years ago, almost killing all the trainee sailors, and cut off Zephyr-sensei’s wrist. How long do you think you can keep hiding?”

Hearing this, Smoker and the others finally understood why Aokiji had suddenly attacked this stranger.

Realizing that the man before them was the pirate who had attacked the Navy training ship, Smoker and the others immediately sided with Aokiji. They quickly put aside any concerns about the so-called demilitarized zone, spreading out to surround Edward Weevil.
