Pirates: There is no prohibition of fishing in Marijoa.

Next, Tezoro recounted his experiences and thoughts from many years ago.

After listening to Tesoro's words, Jerry understood his hatred and the reasons why his personality had gradually become distorted in recent years.

Perhaps it is because this golden city was only built about two years ago, Tesoro at this moment is not as completely blackened and twisted as he will be when Luffy and his crew arrive a few years later.

At present, many of his thoughts and actions after he turned evil have not yet matured. The staff on the ship are still his subordinates and in normal employment status. He did not deliberately trick gamblers into losing in the casino, as he would do later, and then make them work for him as slaves for life after being heavily in debt.

"Although I don't really need this kind of cooperation, you may be right about one thing."

"That's unpredictable. I will face those parasites head-on in the future."

Seeing Jerry scolding the Celestial Dragons without any hesitation, Tesoro felt that he was not wrong about him and laughed.

"Hahahahaha! Really? Well, I can use my status as the king of the world's largest entertainment city to give you the most help!"

"Why don't you try to resist on your own? Don't you want to?"

Ignoring the guy who was getting excited again, Jerry asked.

Hearing this question, Tezulo's expression slowly changed from laughing to gritting his teeth.

"No! I think about it all the time! I can't wait to kill them!"

"However, with my ability, I don't think I can even cause significant damage to them, let alone defeat them."

"So in the past few years, I have been locked in my own world. I hate them, but I can do nothing about it."

Watching Tezulo, who had fallen into himself again, Jerry waited for him to recover, stroked his chin, and then asked:

"Then what makes you think I can reach that level?"

"You can do it! I believe in my intuition, and you are the youngest and strongest person I have met in all these years..."

Interrupted again, Jerry felt that he had missed the point when praising someone.

“Is he also the most handsome?”

After a pause, Tezulo wanted to roll his eyes.

"Well, okay... handsome. Anyway, he's the candidate who best meets all the criteria in my mind."

Thinking about how he got on this ship and how his shining points were always discovered by others inadvertently, Jerry reflected on himself in his heart and talked about it non-stop.

"You think so highly of me?"

"Yes! What do you think of my proposal?"

Having said so much, Tezulo is still not sure of the other party's intention.

"Cooperation? I don't need it, but if you want to invest in us, you need to meet several conditions."

Seeing that he had given in, Tezulo continued:

"What conditions?"

Looking up at the ceiling, Jerry thought for a moment and said seriously:

"If you choose to follow me, you must let me take the lead. Is that ok with you?"

"Think it over carefully. It won't be easy to regret it once you agree to it."

Tezulo had thought about this question from the beginning, and said solemnly:

"If you have the same goal as me, then Thai Pants La... uh, of course you can."

"However, I will keep an eye on you. If you give up halfway or leak information, at worst, we will both perish together."

After gradually opening his heart, it seemed that overthrowing the Celestial Dragons and avenging Stella was the only reason for him to continue living.

After fully understanding his gambler-like all-in mentality, Jerry sorted out his thoughts and smiled.

"Oh, don't worry, just take care of yourself."

"Since you've investigated me, you should know who I am and what I hate. Don't play tricks on me in secret."

"In addition, you can secretly monitor the movements of the revolutionary army."

"Although we have been working on this for so many years, we have not yet reached the point where a decisive battle can take place. But after they rescued the country, you can lend a helping hand at the right time. It doesn't have to be financial. If you want to achieve your goal, sometimes this kind of connection is necessary."

"As for the rest, we can think of it later. First, you should do your work here well and train your confidants."

"I don't think I'll need any support from you in the short term."

Seeing that Jerry had agreed, Tezulo stood up and said excitedly:

"No problem! Then, it's settled! Master Jerry."

"Hey, no matter how big you are or who you are, just call me Jerry and do your job well."

Jerry doesn't buy it, as long as the other party knows what they should do.

At the beginning, Tesoro did not have a very good impression of Jerry, otherwise he would not have gone to explain.

However, as the battle was suppressed, the opponent used the Domineering Color Entanglement, a skill that only very few people can master, and defeated him in one fell swoop, making him initially recognize Jerry's strength.

Finally, he even attacked the Celestial Dragons in front of him without fear. At that moment, his gloomy inner shell seemed to be hit hard by something, allowing him to see some light.

After thinking for a long time, I finally made up my mind to take this gamble.

Suddenly, Jerry slapped his head and turned to look at the sofa. Kodaz was lying on the ground, blocked by the armrest, and Kalina was still on its back.

"Eh? It seems like you forgot there's a stranger here!"

"Karina?"

Obviously, Tesoro knew Kalina, but they were not performing partners yet, after all, Kalina had only been on the ship for a short time.

His view was blocked when he came in, and since Jerry was there, he didn't take any further look.

"It seems so, Boss Jerry, we have all forgotten about her."

"Well, Jerry, is it okay for her to know about this kind of thing you're talking about?"

After they finished speaking, eight eyes, including Tezulo's, turned to look at Kalina.

"Ugh! Ugh!"

With her mouth tangled with fishing line, Karina couldn't speak at all and whimpered.

Seeing this, Jerry waved his hand and the fishing line fell off automatically.

"What do you want to say?"

"Huh...I didn't hear anything!"

Kalina gasped, glared at Jerry, and yelled.

Glancing at Deuce and the other man, Jerry saw them motioning for him to handle it. He scratched his head and continued:

"That means you heard everything. It seems that you need to get on board with us for the time being."

"Wow! You're the ones who brought me here! I didn't come here on my own initiative! Let me go, I won't say anything."

Karina felt that she was very innocent when she yelled, but then she seemed to remember something and her expression changed to look pitiful.

However, Jerry turned a blind eye to her performance. After thinking for a moment, he curled his lips:

"Answer me a question, and I'll see if I can let you go."

"Ah? What's the problem? Ask it now!"

Kalina's expression changed again, and she suddenly became excited.

Jerry looked serious, pointed his finger, and spoke slowly:

"What is one plus one?"

"Two! You got it right, right? Let me go!"

Kalina felt that the other party asked this question, which was obviously to let her go. It was hard to believe that he was still a good person.

But Jerry nodded and said something that made her want to curse.

"Well, you really do know too much."

"What!?"

Kalina suddenly felt that the bitch in front of her was making fun of her.

"Come on board first, I'll set you free later."

Jerry then made the final decision, but still gave her some hope.

Jerry didn't know much about Kalina. He only vaguely remembered that she was a quirky money-grubber.

If I let her go easily now, she might sell out my group.

So I decided to observe her first, and if it’s appropriate, I’ll set her free after a while.

After listening to Jerry, Kalina drooped her face, opened her eyes wide, and asked worriedly:

"Zun Du Fake Du?"

"Zundu!"
