Inside the VIP area, Tesoro led his entourage to a banquet hall and plopped down on the sofa at the head of the table.

That gloomy face silenced all the subordinates in the banquet hall, who dared not utter a word.

The purple-haired woman then brought a glass and wine, carefully pouring it for Tesoro. After pouring the wine, she sat down next to Tesoro, her expression calm and unsmiling.

"Kalina..."

Tezzolo swirled the wine in his glass and said in a deep voice, "What will those people do?"

The purple-haired woman pondered for a moment, then said, "Lord Tesoro, they certainly won't give up easily. We must be fully prepared."

"Hehehehe..."

Tesoro chuckled softly, "Yeah, they won't give up. They'll definitely find other ways, but they can't do anything to me. I have an ace up my sleeve!"

These words brought a smile to Bakara's face as she attended him. "Yes, Lord Tesoro, they cannot threaten you."

"Hahaha, Lord Tesoro!"

At this moment, one of his subordinates stepped forward with a wine glass in hand, smiling obsequiously, "Here, you are like a Celestial Dragon; no one can threaten you!"

Tezzolo's smile widened. He pushed up his sunglasses, letting them reach his hair, and stared intently at his subordinate in the white tuxedo, slowly saying:

Did I give you permission to laugh so loudly in front of me?

His subordinate's expression changed, and he stammered, "Lord Tesoro..."

"Who gave you permission?"

Tesoro spread his fingers and pulled out a gold ring.

"Lord Tezolo!"

The subordinate seemed to understand something, and startled, his face turning pale as he tried to back away. "Lord Tesoro, I was wrong! I just... I just..."

Tesoro grinned maliciously, loosened his grip, and the gold ring he was holding fell to the ground, rolling towards his subordinate.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The subordinate turned and ran away in terror.

Just then, the gold ring softened into liquid and shot out like a snake, binding the subordinate's body and causing him to fall to the ground.

Tesoro looked at his struggling and groaning subordinate, his smile growing wider. "Then remember this: don't laugh before I give you permission."

"Yes, yes! Lord Tesoro!" The subordinate nodded frantically.

Tezzolo nodded, seemingly ready to let go, which brought a glimmer of hope to his subordinate's eyes and a sigh of relief to him.

boom!

The golden lights on the ceiling turned into liquid at that moment, falling directly onto the subordinate and completely covering him.

Before the subordinate could even struggle, he was encased in liquid gold and became part of the Golden Gang.

"Hahaha, how ridiculous!"

Tesoro laughed loudly: "The expression on his face the moment hope is replaced by despair is the most spectacular performance! Nothing could be more spectacular!"

A woman with long golden hair and a gentle, healing smile flashed through his mind.

Tesoro's expression froze, he lowered his head slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, there are none left..."

The terrifying scene silenced the hall.

Tesoro looked up at them and waved his hand, "Get down."

The group of men scattered in a panic, none of them daring to linger or try to curry favor at this time.

The lessons learned from the past are still there.

"Karina, go and oversee things outside," Tesoro instructed the purple-haired woman beside him.

"yes."

The purple-haired woman nodded, stood up, and walked outside.

Now, only Tezzolo, Baccarat, and Tanaka remained in the hall.

But soon, a footstep sounded.

"Hey, those few marines, can I kill them?"

Behind them, the man with the long chin walked over, a playful look on his face. "I'm quite concerned about that Jin Ni. He's been quite famous lately. Killing him would damage the Navy's prestige, wouldn't it?"

"I'll take that knife."

Another voice came from the other side, and a thin, tall black figure appeared, like a ninja, with his arms crossed and his feet together, toes touching the ground.

His back and waist were covered with swords.

"The swords of Kinni and Momoto are both among the twenty-one Great Grade Swords. I want Shusui and Kinkunro."

He said calmly, "Their fate is the same."

Suddenly, a figure sat down next to Tesoro, took a glass from the table next to him, and poured himself a drink.

"That's not that easy," he laughed.

Bakara stared in shock at the man who had somehow sat down beside her, exclaiming, "When...?"

The person pouring himself a drink was also an elderly man, with gray hair and loose skin, but he looked very energetic.

His attire was also very proper, a black tailcoat, and he drank his wine in a calm and unhurried manner, just like an old gentleman.

Tesoro's face darkened. "Epp, didn't I tell you that you need to report when you come? Also, restrain your abilities. I took you in, not so you can run rampant here."

With his long chin, Sigurd shrugged and chuckled, "Got it. Forming a new pirate alliance? With your financial resources and our strength, it's easy to do. But before that, we'll announce our existence to the world."

"Smith seems to have failed."

Sitting on the sofa drinking, Ai Pu said, "This means that the guy named Jin Ni is not only famous, but also has strength. His failure will definitely alert headquarters. G-3 is not suitable to go there. If we are going to take action, this is the only time."

As he spoke, he tilted his head back and said to the person behind him, "What do you think?"

Beside a pillar at the back, leaned a muscular man in a short-sleeved shirt, arms crossed, who did not answer.

“Silent in prison, still silent here…” April shook her head. “Cheer up, Gregon, we’re free now.”

The man with his arms crossed remained silent.

Aip shrugged, placed the cup on the table next to him, stood up and walked down to stand in front of Tesoro.

"So..."

Tesoro smiled and said, "It's up to you."

“No problem.” Sig grinned maliciously. “Of course, on your turf, you’d better be prepared to explain.”

Tesoro slowly uttered a sentence: "In this city, those who are deceived are the losers."

Sieg's smile widened, Aip shook his head, and the man in ninja attire carrying a bag full of swords narrowed his eyes.

Behind them, the man leaning against the pillar had a bulging vein on his arm, and his eyes gradually turned blood red.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Tesoro laughed out loud, stretched out his hand, and clenched it tightly in front of him, as if he wanted to grasp everything.

"Go ahead and do it without worrying about the consequences, because the power of money will even make the world government submit!"
