Tezoro never considered himself a pirate, although he did many pirate things and was defined as a pirate by the World Government.
However, Tezzolo still doesn't think of himself as a pirate.
He was walking on the night-shrouded Hailiu Island, and a group of pirates followed him swaggeringly.
"That's almost it."
"Let's do it."
"My hands have been itching for a long time. This guy definitely has a lot of money on him."
...
Tezzolo listened to the voice coming from behind, smiled slightly, and walked forward as if he didn't hear it.
Several pirates stepped forward and grabbed Tezzolo's shoulders.
"Hey, brother, you have a lot of good things about you."
"If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Tezzolo put his pure gold jewelry into everyone's hands without caring.
"Oh~ You are very knowledgeable!"
"But these are not enough."
"You should still have a lot of good things, hand them all over to us."
Several pirates clenched the gold in their hands and looked greedily at Tezzolo in front of them. In fact, they wanted to kill this guy directly and then search him.
But they were afraid that Tezzolo had hidden a lot of gold somewhere, so they held back for the time being and waited for him to reveal his location before killing him.
"Yes, there is, but you have no life to enjoy it."
Snap.
Tezzolo looked at the people in front of him indifferently and lightly snapped his fingers.
The next moment, starting from these people's hands holding gold, their bodies began to turn into gold bit by bit.
"Wait, what's going on?!"
"But, this guy is a capable person!"
"I remembered, 'Golden Emperor'. This guy is the Golden Emperor, a person with abilities who ate the Golden Fruit."
Tezoro can use this gold to assimilate objects he touches into gold!
The superhuman fruits are the same but different. The devil fruits of Kazan and Tezoro can both turn their bodies into metal, and they can also control this metal.
However, Kazan cannot use steel to assimilate other metals into steel, and Tezzolo cannot extract trace elements from the air out of thin air to condense a thin steel film like Kazan.
Each has its own merits.
"Just wait to be moved away."
Tezzolo looked at the few golden figures in front of him, took back his jewelry and put it on again, then turned and left the place.
There is a weakness in his ability, that is, things that have been assimilated by his gold will change back to their original form after contacting sea water.
It's equivalent to turning into gold, but not completely turning into gold.
Tezzolo has no interest in this kind of fake gold. He usually can deceive people, but now he doesn't have the mood or energy.
Tezzolo is arrogant and conceited, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.
Tezoro in the original work is one of the kings of the underground world, and he is the one who controls Gulan Tezoro, the world's largest entertainment city. But an idiot cannot do this.
With his city, it was easy to collect useful information in one night.
"Is the 'Red Dog' actually on this island..."
Tezoro has often heard rumors about this new Shichibukai, which is nothing more than cruel, powerful, bloodthirsty, and monster.
He didn't collect any information that would really help him judge what kind of person he was.
Tezzolo has some thoughts about this 'red dog'.
Now there are two ways to go in front of Tezzolo. One is to kill the 'Red Dog' and use it as a stepping stone to become one of the Shichibukai. At that time, with the power and status he holds, he can take the fastest
By quickly amassing a large amount of property, he will no longer be afraid of the Don Quixote family.
The benefits of this path are very great, and it is also one of the few ways to make Tezolo stronger in a short period of time.
However, the risk is too great. Based on Tezzolo's understanding of Doflamingo, it is impossible that he would not be interested in the position of the Shichibukai. However, Doflamingo has not yet become a Shichibukai.
So there is basically no suspense about one thing, that is, this "red dog" is more powerful than Doflamingo.
The second route is to use the golden fruit as a bargaining chip, join forces with the "Red Dog", enter the underground world, and become the emperor of the underground world. When the time comes, he will also have a way to make himself stronger.
However, the speed of this method is very slow, and the benefits are not comparable to the first method, but it is better than the first method.
Tezzolo hesitated. He didn't know what to do. If it were the past, he would probably choose the second path immediately.
But now...at the age of twenty-nine and gradually growing in size, he feels that he can do it.
"Phew...just let him touch gold..."
This method has been tried and tested by Tezolo, and he has even used this method to kill many characters whose strength was much stronger than his own.
"As long as he is a pirate, he will never be able to ignore the charm of gold. As long as he comes into contact with gold..."
Tezzolo planned this possibility with a gloomy face, but finally decided to do it!
He has very high confidence in his golden fruit. After so many battles, he has used this method to kill many big pirates.
Just one more Shichibukai wouldn't be a problem, right?
Tezoro's confidence is not without purpose. The Jinjin Fruit is a devil fruit that pays attention to the combat environment. As long as the environment is suitable, there is basically no possibility of failure.
The reason why he lost to Luffy was because in the movie version, the animation team added a weird setting where he would revert to his original shape when encountering sea water.
This is understandable, otherwise the Golden Fruit would be a very scary fruit.
Think about the Golden Ark of Enel, who is known as the strongest natural thunder fruit possessor. Although Enel calls it his home...
Although I don’t know if the assimilation of the golden fruit has any impact on the natural system, but if it does, and Tezoro is still up there.
Then he will teach Enero what a home court is.
Especially Enelu is holding a gold halberd in his hand...ah this...
The battle is over before it even begins.
"Then...just wait until tomorrow."
Tezzolo stood behind a house on the shore of Hailiu Island, looking at the lively monster Caroso parked there.
The red eyes of the ship always gave him the feeling that they were staring at him, and the carvings of various strange creatures on the hull made him feel very uncomfortable.
Illusion.
Tezzolo tossed the small gold nugget he got from somewhere in his hand, and then walked towards the stairs leading to the underground casino on Hailiu Island.
Tonight, he will make full preparations for tomorrow's battle, and the underground casino on Hailiu Island will be the beginning of his preparations.
