After all, it was the unbearable past and the slave status that made him very sensitive...
He didn't mind revealing it to Maud, but he wasn't open enough to let others know, especially his subordinates.
"Please come with me."
Tezzolo stood up and led the way.
Maud held the hilt of the knife and followed Tezolo.
Before leaving, he motioned for Perona to follow, and then used gestures to ask Jaya and the others to guard the Hades.
Tezzolo noticed Mod's movement, but didn't think it was anything.
Although he has no intention of harming Maud, he even respects Maud very much.
But from Maud's perspective, he couldn't see his thoughts.
Even if he was sincere and sincere, he couldn't expect Maude to believe him on the spot.
Trust is like an onion, it needs to be peeled off bit by bit.
"Lord Tezolo...?"
Baccarat and the others looked at Tezolo who was striding over, and then looked at Mod who was following Tezolo, looking a little at a loss.
They didn't know the situation, so they wanted to ask Master Tezolo here for clarification.
But judging from Lord Tezzolo's expression, it seemed that this was not an opportunity to ask questions on the spot.
Their judgment was correct.
Before leading Mod to a quiet place, Tezzolo did not intend to help these subordinates solve their doubts here.
At least not now.
"Bacara."
As Tezzolo passed by, he called out Baccarat's name.
"Huh? Lord Tezoro!"
Hearing this, Baccarat subconsciously straightened her back and looked at Tezzolo.
Tezzolo glanced at Baccarat and said calmly: "Your 'ability' did not disappoint me."
After saying that, regardless of Baccarat's reaction, he led Mod and strode towards the Tezolo Tower.
This huge ship was named after him and Gulan.
Buildings or areas such as hotels, casinos, and commercial areas on the ship are basically named after Tezolo and the word gold.
Hearing Tezzolo's words, Baccarat was stunned for a moment. When he was about to say something, he saw that Tezzolo had already walked away.
Tanaka beside him was also hesitant to speak, and could only silently watch Tezzolo and Mod walk away one after another.
After Maud walked some distance away, she looked back at Baccarat.
What Tezzolo said to this woman just now made him a little concerned.
Distant on the sea.
Reiju, who was carrying her three younger brothers, descended from the air and landed firmly on the Germa Island ship.
"Fortunately, the other party didn't chase me..."
After casually throwing her three younger brothers on the ground, Reiju turned back to look at the Gulan Tezoro in the distance with lingering fear.
If she could, she didn't want to encounter monsters like Mod and Tezolo again.
Gaji glanced at the three Iji who were thrown to the ground by Reiju. His eyes did not have the worry and care that a father should have, but instead showed indifference and disappointment.
“…”
He watched without saying a word as the doctors who had arrived in advance moved the three of Iji onto the stretcher, and then looked at the Gulan Tezzolo in the distance again.
Gaji's undisguised indifference was noticed by Reijiu who was standing by, but she didn't feel anything at all.
Even if these three reckless brothers saw Gaji's attitude, they would be the same as her and have no feeling at all.
Gaji stared at the giant ship in the distance and said in a deep voice: "Qiao Ellie Bonny boarded the ship of the Mod Pirates... That is an unstable factor."
"Um?"
Reijiu was startled when she heard this.
Her attention was focused on Mod and Tezoro just now, but she didn't notice that Qiao Ellie Bonny was on the ship of Mod Pirates.
Qiao Ellie Bonny…
She knew this woman and her abilities were the last extremely important piece of the puzzle in her father's ambitious plan.
She remembered her father saying that this woman had always been under the control of the World Government.
Getting that ability is a trivial matter.
But I didn’t expect—
This woman, who had been controlled by the World Government, actually appeared on the ship of the Mod Pirates.
If the world government knew about this, I'm afraid it wouldn't let it go.
This also means that the friction between the World Government and the Mod Pirates will only intensify as new and old grudges are added together.
Thinking of this, Reijiu felt a wave of emotion in her heart.
Gaji slowly withdrew his gaze, turned his head and glanced at Reiju who was thoughtful, and said expressionlessly: "In a short time... this world may undergo earth-shaking changes."
Reijiu's eyes changed slightly and she looked at her father silently.
Earth-shaking changes...
... ... .
Aboard the Gulan Tezzolo.
A car driven by a turtle drives on the bridge that connects to the bow of the ship.
"She is Baccarat. She ate the lucky fruit and has the ability to freely mobilize luck."
Tezzolo sat in the front seat of the car and took the initiative to reveal to Maude about Baccarat's abilities.
The reason why he did this was because he noticed that Maud seemed to care about what he just said to Baccarat.
In order to gain Mod's trust as soon as possible, Tezzolo would take the initiative to explain.
Maude was deeply surprised by Tezzolo's proactive disclosure.
Not only because of Baccarat's ability, but also because of Tezzolo's unwise behavior.
To him, Tezzolo didn't look like someone who would engage in such demented behavior.
But Tezzolo just did it.
This is almost no different from Hancock.
Do people who have been persecuted by Tianlong people end up like this in the end
If Tezzolo and Hancock were the same type of person.
Then, it might not be difficult to take him under his wing.
Even if they cannot be conquered, there is a high probability that they can cooperate.
Putting aside Tezolo's strength, the power network Tezolo has developed to this day is exactly what Mod currently lacks.
If Tezzolo is recommended to Sunny, I think it will also bring a lot of help to Sunny.
Overall, Tezzolo is undoubtedly a good player to work with.
certainly.
It would be best if it could be subdued.
While Maud's thoughts were spinning, he said calmly: "Is it really okay to casually disclose information about your subordinates' abilities to others?"
"I do this because of you."
Tezzolo explained the reason without any pretense.
For him, this is one step in building trust.
Let alone revealing information about Baccarat's abilities, it doesn't matter if he reveals information about his abilities.
“…”
Mod didn't know how to respond to Tezzolo's words for a moment, so she could only remain silent.
Seeing that Maude was silent and thinking that it would take a while to drive from here to the tower, Tezzolo took the initiative to stir up a topic related to Baccarat's ability.
In this regard, Mod basically didn't answer and allowed Tezolo to talk there.
A few minutes passed.
After listening to Tezzolo's self-narration, Mod then realized that the reason why they met Tezzolo here by chance was most likely because of Baccarat's good luck with Tezzolo.
Maude was slightly dumbfounded.
From the first moment I saw Tezzolo—
Although Maude had a lingering weird feeling, she could only think that it was because she was so lucky that the prey came to her doorstep without any effort to find it.
Only then did he realize that it was not that he was very lucky, but that Tezzolo, who had always wanted to see him, was very lucky.
He originally thought it was extremely outrageous to encounter Tezzolo here.
I was relieved to learn that it was the lucky fruit's ability that was causing the problem.
but.
What happened to the Vinsmoke family that I met by chance at the same time
Thinking of this, Maud thought about it and deduced it a little bit.
Then we came to a conclusion that was almost guessing.
The fact that the Vinsmoke family appears here must be due to Tezzolo's luck.
According to Maude's deduction process, if the Vinsmoke family did not appear here by such a coincidence.
Then, there would be no dispute with Tezolo, and Tezolo would not leave the tower and come to the bow of the ship.
If there is such a buffer zone missing.
I'm afraid that Mod will not sit here and have a good chat with Tezolo now, but will take the initiative when he discovers the Gulan Tezolo...
Based on this speculation, the purpose of the Vinsmoke family's presence here is to help Tezzolo avoid disaster.
As far as the results are concerned, Maud's guess was basically correct.
Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same.
Some people are lucky and some people are unlucky.
Baccarat placed a lucky halo on Tezzolo.
After the ability took effect, Tezzolo got his wish and met Mod.
But on the contrary, with Mod's consistent style and motivation, there is a high probability that he will pose a threat to Tezolo who is eager to see him.
As the saying goes, luck is also part of strength.
However, the aura of luck that Baccarat bestowed on Tezzolo could not compete with Mod's strength.
As a result, the strong luck halo can only bring out an unlucky guy to help Tezolo resolve the crisis.
And that unlucky guy is the Vinsmoke family.
Turtle cars speed through the streets.
Along the way, the scenery Maud saw could only be described as magnificent.
This luxuriant and prosperous urban scene was incompatible with the pirate world he knew. Instead, it was more like the scenery in the hunter world.
With some emotion, Mod followed Tezzolo to the golden tower located in the rear half of the ship.
After a while.
Tezzolo led Maude to an empty room.
