One Piece: The system is only activated after leaving the Navy.

1516 AD (Haiyuan Calendar)

Shanks' pirate crew became the new Emperors of the Sea, and the New World was divided into four factions.

Time flies, and six years have passed since Luo Tian chose to go into seclusion to cultivate.

During this long period of time, Luo Tian and his companions seemed to gradually fade from people's sight and be forgotten by this ever-changing world.

The World Government deliberately concealed the series of events caused by Luo Tian and others several years ago, destroying all information related to their past actions.

Therefore, apart from a very few people who are closely associated with Luo Tian and his team, most people know very little about that past.

Nevertheless, Yamato and the others remained concerned about Luo Tian's condition, staying on the island and refusing to give up.

They often went to Luo Tian's secluded room to check on his condition with great concern, but Luo Tian was still in the form of an egg, without any change.

Every time I went there full of expectations, I ended up returning disappointed.

In that year, Yamato and his friends were reading the day's newspaper as usual.

Suddenly, a striking news item caught their eye: Tesoro had successfully built a giant golden warship named Grantesoro.

Moreover, this giant ship has transformed into an independent nation recognized by the world government.

Even more astonishing is that, thanks to his exceptional business acumen and immense power, Tezzolo has already controlled 20 percent of the global Berry, making him the world's richest man, and he is affectionately known as the "Golden Emperor."

When Yamato and the others saw the news, they were filled with shock and disbelief, but at the same time, they were also gratified to see Tesoro's success.

"Tezzolo really did fulfill his wish."

Yamato sighed.

"Yeah, I still remember how drunk he was at the banquet back then, shouting that he wanted to become the world's richest man. Now this kid has done it."

Dan looked at Tezzolo in the newspaper and responded to Yamato.

"Tezzolo really did it."

Anna Angela leaned over to look at the newspaper and sighed.

Meanwhile, after the situation stabilized, Tesoro decided to secretly go alone to check on Luo Tian's condition.

Given his current high-profile status, any rash action would likely trigger a series of unnecessary troubles and negative consequences.

When Tesoro quietly arrived at his destination, those familiar faces appeared before him. Tesoro also put away his aura as the Golden Emperor and returned to the naive young man he once was.

When everyone saw their former friend, who had now become the Golden Emperor, they were first taken aback, and then they began to tease each other.

"Yo yo yo, isn't this the famous Golden Emperor?"

Yamato teased Tesoro as he watched him arrive.

Dan also looked at Tesoro, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and saw that Tesoro had changed a lot and was very different from when he first boarded the ship.

"Great! You finally succeeded, Tesoro."

Tezzolo simply smiled and said nothing in response to his old friends' teasing.

However, when he looked around at his comrades who had fought alongside him, he was filled with emotion.

Memories of the past flooded his mind, as if time had reversed, taking him back to the days when he was a naive and clueless young man.

Tesoro then inquired about Luo Tian's situation. Tesoro had returned not only to visit his former companions but also to check on Luo Tian and see if there was anything he could do to help.

"How is Captain Luo Tian? I just settled down these days and came over immediately to see if there's anything I can help with."

However, after looking around at everyone, he found that they were all just shaking their heads slightly.

Seeing this, Tesoro understood a bit: it seemed that Captain Luo Tian had not yet emerged from seclusion and was still in a state of closed-door cultivation.

So Tesoro composed himself and spoke again.

"Alright then. If you need any assistance in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me, especially regarding financial matters. Feel free to ask, and I will definitely do my best to provide the greatest support."

Then, Dan smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry, when it comes to money, I definitely won't be polite to you, the world's richest man."

The people present hadn't seen Tesoro for a long time, and they warmly invited him to stay and host a grand banquet so they could get together and chat.

Faced with such an enthusiastic invitation, Tezzolo readily accepted.

As night fell and the lights came on, the banquet was filled with laughter and joy.

Tezzolo sat there quietly, his gaze slowly sweeping over the familiar faces and bustling scene around him, a deep sense of emotion welling up in his heart.

Here, he is no longer the fearsome Golden Emperor, but an ordinary person who can let go of all pretense and defenses and be his true self again.

There are no underworld transactions filled with intrigue and scheming here, nor are there complex and difficult power struggles with the world government.

All he received were the sincere care and greetings from his fellow crew members over the years.

They inquired with concern about the hardships and difficulties Tezzolo had experienced during his years of wandering, and expressed their sincere pride and honor in his current great achievements.

Hearing these heartwarming words, Tesoro was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears.

At the banquet, Dan also introduced Tesoro to the new crew members who had joined after his departure: Koala, Robin, and Yan.

Tesoro showed none of the airs he had during his time as the Golden Emperor, and chatted with the newcomers.

He then raised his glass and drank heartily with everyone, fully enjoying this rare moment of relaxation.

After a few rounds of drinks, everyone's face was filled with happy and satisfied smiles.

However, joyful times are always fleeting.

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight touched the sea, Tesoro knew it was time for him to leave.

After all, given his current status and position, there are still many important matters waiting for him to handle.

Despite his deep reluctance, he resolutely stood up and bid farewell to everyone.

Before leaving, Tesoro walked up to Dan, took out a small Den Den Mushi from his pocket, handed it to him, and said softly.

"This is my personal Den Den Mushi. If you encounter any difficulties or need any help in the future, feel free to call me. As long as it is within my power, I will do my best to help! Also, if Captain Luo Tian comes out, be sure to let me know in time."

After saying this, Tesoro took one last deep look at his former comrades-in-arms before boarding the ship he had come from, ready to return.

In that instant, Tesoro regained the supreme dignity and domineering aura befitting a Golden Emperor.
