One Piece Hell Brook.

Holy Land Mary Joa.

At this time, the Tianlong family was also gathering to celebrate the New Year. Their banquets were even more luxurious, with food and wine from all over the world, colorful and fragrant.

Many servants of rare races are serving them, and each of them is very tame, obedient, and proficient in everything.

Many descendants of the Celestial Dragons were eating, drinking, having fun, and talking in the lobby. One was talking about which slave was stronger, which slave girl was more beautiful, and the other was talking about whose treasure was the rarest...

But in a conference room, nineteen Celestial Dragon clan chiefs were also holding a supreme meeting to arrange the Heavenly Gold tasks for this year!

Although they are very rich and have supreme power, they still have to work two or three hours a day, which is indeed too hard for them.

This is the hard work and sense of responsibility of being a patriarch!

"Chief Walton and Chief Koch, why do you feel so much younger?"

A middle-aged Tianlong clan leader had obviously discovered the two old clan leaders. Why did he become so energetic?

These two Celestial Dragon clan leaders are members of the family that traded pure gold with Brooke. Even if they dyed their hair white, their skin and mental appearance became younger through the retrograde fruit. It was immediately obvious!

"Haha~, I got some treasures recently and regained my energy!"

Chief Walton smiled and said, ready to go over casually and ask them to introduce other Draconians to Brooke?There are no doors!

If everyone has a solid gold ring and stays young, what's so special about them spending so much effort trying to get pure gold?

"Hmph! I don't care what treasure you got! But the Five Old Stars told me yesterday that you borrowed two natural Devil Fruits from the World Government's treasury and said you wanted to take them away to appreciate them, and you also injured two World Governments. Government officials, what’s going on?”

A powerful family among the Celestial Dragons, Chief Adams said solemnly with a cold face. Their family is the strongest political family among the nineteen Celestial Dragon families.

The Walton family and the Koch family are only families in charge of business, and their voice is completely inferior to them!

"Hmph! Addams brat, are you questioning me?"

Patriarch Walton snorted. Here, he is the oldest and has the highest seniority. How could he let a junior come to scold him?

"That's right! You brats of the Adams family, look at how many defeats the navy under your control has fought, and how much losses it has caused to the World Government and the Celestial Dragons!"

Chief Koch also took the opportunity to attack. He also wanted to make the natural devil fruit matter a big deal and make it a trivial matter. He didn't want everyone to know about it!

"Three clan leaders, stop arguing and let's settle the Tianshangjin matter first!"

The good old Patriarch Don Quixote and Patriarch Fegalan quickly stepped forward to stop the three patriarchs who were about to quarrel.

"It's because of the heavy losses! That's why these strategic-level natural devil fruits are going to be used to enhance the strength of the navy. Please return them as soon as possible!"

Patriarch Adams showed no respect to anyone, and his voice became louder and louder, as if he was the boss of the Celestial Dragons!

"Hmph~, it's gone! Chief Koch and I just let two slaves eat these two Devil Fruits for a duel, and both of them died. They are really useless!"

Chief Walton lied expressionlessly. He and Chief Koch had already discussed this matter and planned to use other things to compensate for the two natural devil fruits.

Anyway, they can't get these two Devil Fruits now, so they must have been divided among Brooke's subordinates, right?

"What!!! You actually use this precious devil fruit for entertainment!!!"

Chief Adams looked at these two immortals with an angry look on his face. These were two top-notch natural devil fruits, and they were able to cultivate two general-level subordinates in minutes!

"That's the truth! At worst, we can just pay. How many Devil Fruits do you want? Or should we dig them out of the gold in the sky?"

Chief Koch also looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. Anyway, he already has the pure gold ring in his hand and has become young again. How can a few devil fruits be compared to their precious lives!

"You! You!! Bastards!!! I'm going to report you to Master Yimu! You are not worthy of being the leader of the clan!!"

Chief Adams wanted to take out a big stick and beat these two immortals to death, but he actually wasted two top-level natural devil fruits!

"You little brat from the Addams family! Watch your attitude! Is this the attitude of younger generations towards their elders?"

Chief Walton and Chief Koch reprimanded the younger generation for relying on their old age. Although the Adams family is more prosperous and the family's heirs are relatively normal and not dandy, if the two families unite, they can still suppress the Adams family.

Seeing that the situation was a bit serious, the other Celestial Dragon families immediately spoke up to stop them, weren't they just two Devil Fruits?

Each family just needs to use one to make up for it. One Devil Fruit is only a few hundred million Baileys, but they spend over a billion Baileys in one game. It’s just a small amount of money!

"Hmph! I'll settle the score with you later! Now there are no more franchised countries in the New World. In order to maintain the sky gold quota in previous years, the Grand Line and the franchised countries in the four seas are increasing gold. Doesn't everyone have any objections to this?"

Patriarch Adams suppressed his anger and could only discuss other issues first, among which the issue of heavenly gold was particularly important!

"Of course I have no objection! Just let those untouchables pay more!"

"I have no opinion either!"

"The kings won't have any objections, right?"

"How dare they! Let the navy destroy them without paying the sky-high gold! It just so happens that there are not many slaves recently!"

"Since the navy of the New World has withdrawn, why not temporarily reduce the navy's military expenditures and stop increasing funds to force the joining countries!"

As soon as the Don Quixote clan leader said these words, he attracted ridicule from the clan leaders. Sure enough, like the Fegalan family, he was an outlier among the Celestial Dragons.

What does the life and death of the franchised countries and civilians have to do with them?

Anyway, there is no shortage of gold in the sky!

Soon, the majority overcame the minority on the issue of Heavenly Gold. This year’s Heavenly Gold increased by [-]% to make up for the losses of the New World franchise countries!

Don’t underestimate this [-]%. For the huge amount of heavenly gold, it is enough to overwhelm many franchise countries and make a country bankrupt!

After the last meeting of the Draco chiefs, some shrewd old chiefs immediately asked Chief Walton and Chief Koch about the secret of becoming younger!

The Celestial Dragons are particularly sensitive to this kind of thing. They have been offering a reward of 50 billion beli all year round for the superhuman surgical fruit that can perform immortality surgery. If there are other methods of immortality, they will also flock to it!

Chief Walton and Chief Koch also chose a few friends to communicate in private, and once again set their sights on the top devil fruits in the World Government's treasure house!

They wouldn't be too short on a pure gold ring that can make people live forever, and their families can also use it. In this way, their family can become stronger and stronger!
