Starting with helping Zhao Kai ascend the throne in the snow

The Celestial Dragons' power was simply too great. Even though he had become the world's richest man after years of hard work, it was still like a mantis trying to stop a chariot when he wanted to fight against the World Government represented by the Celestial Dragons. He was overestimating his own strength.

Therefore, seeing no hope of revenge, Tesoro had no choice but to find another way: to use gambling money to corrupt the Celestial Dragons, making them kneel before money and become its slaves.

Seeing the once high and mighty Celestial Dragons kneel on the ground like other gamblers fills Tesoro with a strange excitement, which is one of the driving forces that has kept him alive all these years.

“By the way, since such news has come from the sea, we must strengthen security in our entertainment city and make sure to protect the Celestial Dragons within it.” Tesoro suddenly thought of the Celestial Dragons in his entertainment city and said to Tanaka.

"Lord Tesoro, this is exactly what I wanted to report. Perhaps influenced by the news that Barrett wanted to kidnap a Celestial Dragon, the Celestial Dragons in Las Vegas have recently been recalled," Tanaka said truthfully.

"The Celestial Dragons have been recalled?" Tesoro frowned, his face showing some displeasure. He had been setting up a scheme to deceive the Celestial Dragons, so naturally he didn't want to see his prey leave.

"I heard it was an order personally issued by the Five Elders, and Admiral Green Bull personally came to the city to escort the Celestial Dragons back to the Holy Land Mary Geoise," Tanaka said.

"The Five Elders gave the order, and an admiral escorted them. As expected of the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles. What a grand display! Oh well, they're gone now. They'll come back when things calm down." Tesoro could only shake his head after learning that it was an order from the Celestial Dragons' higher-ups. He couldn't stop such things.

However, as a casino tycoon, Tezzolo was well aware of the gamblers' mentality. Even if many gamblers swore they would never gamble again, such words could only be upheld for a short time, and in the end they could not resist the temptation of the casino.

Meanwhile, in the waters surrounding Bullet Island, Barrett and Festa appeared on a pirate ship.

In order to attract the attention of the navy and other forces, Shen Qing and Festa, after careful discussion, set their sights on Warhead Island.

As the research institute of Vegapunk, a renowned scientist of the World Government, and home to Sentomaru, one of Kizaru's subordinates, Warhead Island is one of the World Government's important research sites. Countless naval black technologies were born here, greatly increasing the strength of the Navy.

For example, there are pacifists, and the cloned Shichibukai being researched on the island. So if Warhead Island is attacked by pirates, it will inevitably be like stirring up a hornet's nest, and it will be relentlessly hunted down by the Navy and the World Government.

"Barrett, the live stream has started. It's up to you now. We only have twenty minutes. Once the time is up, we have to leave immediately, otherwise we might be trapped by the reinforcements that are coming." Festa looked at the excited Barrett and secretly shook his head. What a simple-minded guy.

In order to demonstrate his value, Festa volunteered to bring Barrett to Warhead Island this time, in order to attract the attention of the Navy and even various other forces.

"Fusion Fruit Awakening." After obtaining Festa's size, Barrett unleashed the power of his Devil Fruit Awakening upon arriving at Bullet Island.

The next second, as Barrett unleashed his full power, all the inorganic matter on the island was instantly drawn to him by the Fusion Fruit, attaching itself to Barrett's body and transforming him into a gigantic fusion giant at a visible speed.

"Who dares to cause trouble on Bullet Island? Don't they know that this island is defended by Sentomaru?" As the commotion caused by the Barrett Fusion Fruit grew louder, Sentomaru, who was stationed on the island, noticed it immediately and rushed towards the direction from which the fluctuations came, carrying his huge battle axe.

"Huh, what's going on? The whole Warhead Island is shaking? I remember testing the seabed geology before, and there were no traces of underwater volcanic eruptions nearby." Just after Barrett caused the huge commotion, Vegapunk, the owner of the research institute on the island, felt the tremors coming from the ground with surprise.

Vegapunk felt the increasingly violent tremors and turned to one of his six clones, saying, "York, turn on the surveillance footage around the island."

"Received." York received the order and immediately activated the surveillance Den Den Mushi hidden around the island. Barrett's ever-growing body then appeared in the image.

"This is the awakened form of the Fusion Fruit, which is fusing with the inorganic matter on the island to strengthen itself. It seems that the newcomer is very powerful. I estimate that Sentomaru and the Pacifistas alone will not be able to stop him." Vegapunk recognized Barrett's Devil Fruit the moment he saw him transform into the Fusion Giant.

As the greatest scientist in the One Piece world, and hailed as a scientist 500 years ahead of the world, Vegapunk is very familiar with most of the Devil Fruit illustrations. After all, the Brain-Brain Fruit grants him extreme intelligence and the ability to remember everything he sees.

"Should we send out the Seraphim to help?" York asked Vegapunk with a grin, looking at the screen.

“The Seraphim are strong, but they can’t stop the opponent. The opponent’s strength is comparable to that of a Marine Admiral, which the Seraphim cannot handle. Forget it, I’ll contact the Five Elders. Let them handle this kind of thing.” Vegapunk thought for a moment after hearing York’s suggestion, but still refused her suggestion.

Vegapunk then took out a special Den Den Mushi and made a phone call.

Meanwhile, in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, Satan, one of the Five Elders, saw that it was Vegapunk calling and immediately answered the call.

"Jaigolucia Satan, Bullethead Island has been invaded by powerful pirates." Vegapunk said only this one sentence after the call connected before hanging up.

As a genius scientist under house arrest by the World Government, Vegapunk also has his own temper and has never shown any kindness to the Five Elders.

"Satan, what happened?" The other members of the Five Elders asked anxiously after seeing Satan Saint's expression change drastically after he answered a phone call.

"Something's happened on Bullethead Island. Powerful pirates are invading there." Satan Saint, disregarding Vegapunk's attitude, spoke to the others with a grim expression.

"What? Something happened on Warhead Island? What is Akainu, the new Fleet Admiral, good for? We pushed him into the position against all odds, not so he could just sit around doing nothing. If he can't handle this, he can just quit." The other Five Elders immediately blamed Akainu after learning about the incident on Warhead Island.
