From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 199: Tezulo: What? Doflamingo is gone too!?
The first half of the Grand Line.

Carnival City.

This is a very famous entertainment city in the Grand Route. In the past, it attracted many tourists from all over the world to visit. In recent days, it has been particularly lively here.

The reason is that the world's largest and most advanced entertainment city, Golden City, paraded here and launched a joint performance with Carnival City.

Many people on the sea thought that as competitors, Carnival City and Golden City should have a fierce competitive relationship.

But few people know that the Golden Emperor Gild Tesoro also owns a portion of the shares of Carnival City, and the relationship between the two parties is quite close.

Similarly, as a well-known casino in the first half of the Grand Line, Yuyan also owns a certain stake in Carnival City.

Today, as the agent of Yuyan and Baroque Works, Nicole Robin is preparing to board the Golden City's ship.

Carnival City is an entertainment city fixed on an island, but Golden City is not. Golden City is a movable super-large island-level entertainment city built on two giant island turtles. It has no fixed areas. It travels around the world all year round and is deeply loved by nobles and wealthy people from all over the world.

Because of the arrival of the Golden City, the already prosperous Carnival City Port has become extremely crowded.

However, as a woman of status, Nicole Robin naturally did not need to queue up with ordinary people.

At this moment, in the VIP passage covered with luxurious velvet red carpet, Nicole Robin was wearing a pure white windbreaker, a stylish cowboy hat on her head, a pair of sunglasses covering her beautiful face, and a pair of high-top gray Martin boots on her feet. With her slim figure, she looked very charming.

In front of Robin, there was a deaf-mute waiter from the Golden City quietly leading the way, while Robin was holding a Den Den Mushi in his hand, communicating with the other party with a smile on his face.

"Even Kaido, who is now known as the strongest man in the world, is helpless against you? This really makes me feel safe. I can't wait to go to the New World to see you," Robin said with a smile, her tone as gentle and charming as that of an older sister.

On Den Den Mushi's side, although Bane knew that Robin was bragging about herself, he still felt secretly happy and said with a smile: "If you go to the New World now, you won't be able to see me. I'm returning to the Marine Headquarters."

"Is there something important?" Robin asked curiously.

"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, you will soon see the news of my promotion to admiral of the navy." Bane responded with a smile.

"Admiral of the Navy?" Robin was a little dazed for a moment, and the image of Kuzan flashed through her mind. After a moment, she continued, "Then I congratulate you in advance, Mr. Admiral."

After joking around for a while, Ben got to the point and said, "As I said just now, the Don Quixote family has been completely destroyed. Baroque Works needs to quickly take over the suitable business here. I asked you to prepare early. How is it going now?"

"I'm now on my way to take over the richest part of the Don Quixote family's assets." Robin stepped onto the stairs of the Golden City and said in a slightly mysterious tone.

"Oh? Have you already started? Are you in the New World?" Bane asked in surprise.

"No, I'm in Carnival City. Tezoro's Golden City is touring here. I've already made an appointment to meet him and was just about to go meet him. I wanted to give him a heads up in advance, but I didn't expect you to act so quickly. It seems I have more bargaining chips to talk to him directly." Robin said with emotion.

"Golden City!?" Bane's eyes lit up and he said, "So that's how it is. That is indeed the richest asset of the Don Quixote family."

Doflamingo owns 7% of the shares of Golden City!

Although these share certificates and the like have most likely been destroyed along with Dressrosa, they are meaningless. Can we still expect Doflamingo to come back to life and sign to transfer the shares to Bane?
nonexistent.

Tezoro would never take these things seriously. They were just superficial procedures.

However, even without these share certificates, Nico Robin was confident that she could transfer Doflamingo's shares from Tesoro.

I think a sensible guy like Tesoro would not refuse. Otherwise, he could let Bane come to his house to talk to him in person. However, by then, Bane might not want just the 7% in Doflamingo's hands.

"Add to that the 3.6 percent we got from Crocodile. If this deal goes through, you will own 10.6 percent of Golden City and become a major shareholder. The annual dividend will be a pretty scary number." Nicole Robin said.

"I have no shortage of gold and Bailey." Bane said domineeringly.

After a slight pause, Bane continued, "I value the Golden City platform and its financial value, as well as the personal talents of Gild Tezoro, known as the Golden Emperor."

"I see." Robin replied softly.

But soon, she continued: "However, even with your current strength and status, I am afraid that the Golden Emperor will not surrender."

"Of course I know." Bane responded very calmly: "So just make a good start, and when I have time, I will meet him in person. Then, I don't think he will refuse my invitation." Bane still admired Tesoro's talent very much. This guy really started from scratch, from the bottom of the society, even to the status of a slave, and still relied on his economic acumen and ruthless tactics to climb all the way to the position of the world's richest man, and also controlled a quarter of the world's cash flow. It can be said that his influence is very large, and he is the one who can completely shake the economic situation in this ocean!

It is undeniable that the Gold-Gold Fruit he obtained did help his career greatly, but his talent was definitely a more important factor. The Gold-Gold Fruit was not a particularly rare ability, and there had been people with this ability other than Tesoro in the past.

But which of those people has reached Tezulo's position? Not one!

Bane felt that he still lacked an economic assistant or "Minister of Finance" who could manage his huge assets, and Tezulo was undoubtedly a very suitable person.

In particular, he is someone who has experienced traveling through the world, so he knows very well that gold seems to be hard currency in many worlds, which further highlights the value of Tezoro.

Of course, if this guy is really stubborn and doesn't want to take this respectable job, then Bane can only help him do it with great pain.

All in all, the Golden-Gold Fruit must be obtained!
After chatting for a while, the two hung up the Den Den Mushi.

At this time, Robin has arrived in front of a luxurious building in Golden City, where Mr. Tanaka, one of Tesoro's assistants, is waiting.

"Miss All Sunday, welcome to the Golden City. Lord Tesoro is looking forward to meeting you." Mr. Tanaka greeted Robin with a smile.

Of course he knew that the woman in front of him was the devil's child wanted by the world's government and the only survivor of O'Hara, Nico Robin, but so what?
Not to mention that this woman is a shareholder and partner of their Golden City, and is also the person in charge of the Baroque Works, the most influential dark world organization in the first half of the Grand Line. Just talking about their Golden City, it is a famous neutral zone.

So what if they are the sons of the devil? Members of the Revolutionary Army often appear here, but no one cares about them, right?

They are in the Golden City, but they have privileges!

"I am also looking forward to meeting Mr. Tezulo." Robin smiled reservedly and nodded slightly.

Under the guidance of Mr. Tanaka, they soon took a special elevator and arrived at the top floor of this luxurious building.

Outside the elevator door is a huge screen, and apart from this screen, there seems to be no other unnecessary decorations on the entire top floor.

However, even with such "simplicity", luxury and grandeur are everywhere here, because everywhere in the whole house, wherever gold can be used as a material, it is paved with gold!

In this huge space, there is only a set of luxurious sofas and coffee tables. I wonder if this is Tesoro imitating Marijoa's power?

At this time, the famous Golden Emperor was sitting on the sofa. When he saw Robin, he stood up enthusiastically and said, "Miss. All Sunday, welcome."

"Mr. Tesoro, I'm glad to meet you too. If possible, please call me by my real name." Robin shook hands with Tesoro.

"Then I won't be polite, Miss Robin." Tesoro revealed her identity right away.

The two of them soon sat opposite each other on the sofa. Tezulo pretended to be very regretful and said, "When I heard that Mr. Crocodile wanted to give his inheritance to you, Miss Robin, for free before his death, I was really surprised. It's not easy to find a partner as good as him."

"Are you complaining, Mr. Tesoro, that I'm not a good partner?" Robin chuckled and teased.

"How could that be? Later it turned out that I was overthinking it. Miss Robin is a better collaborator than Mr. Crocodile," Tesoro laughed.

After exchanging polite small talk and getting to know each other, Tezulo personally poured Robin a cup of tea before getting to the point: "I really didn't expect Miss Robin to meet me here. I wonder what you want to discuss this time? Do you have any good business to introduce to me?"

"Mr. Tesoro's guess is right. Next, our Baroque Works will fully enter the new world. I think there will definitely be a lot of room for us to cooperate here." Robin took a sip of tea and said very elegantly.

"Oh?" Tesoro raised his eyebrows and said in a surprised tone, "Is that so? Although I see that you are very confident, Miss Robin, I still want to remind you that the waters in the New World are much deeper than here. From a business perspective, you and the Don Quixote family may be in great competition, and Doflamingo is not someone who is easy to talk to."

"Of course, considering this situation, we had to make a very helpless choice." Robin lowered his eyes slightly and said mysteriously: "Speaking of which, this time I also want to talk to you, Mr. Tesoro, about the fact that my best friend Doflamingo transferred the shares of Golden City to me before his death."

In this sentence, Robin used "you" to address Tesoro for the first time.

But Tezoro only felt a chill!

What the hell? Is Doflamingo also on his deathbed following Crocodile's footsteps?
I just left the New World a few days ago, right? And before leaving, he even met with Doflamingo to discuss business matters. How come he suddenly received this kind of news?
If it were someone else, Tezoro would simply shrug off the suggestion. Who would dare to say such a thing?

But the person in front of him was the one who had actually made Crocodile, who was also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, die, so of course he would be shocked!
