at the same time.
A call from Yamato made Mod make the decision to go to Oni Island in Wano Country on the spot.
Coincidentally, with the addition of Tezoro, a considerable combat force, and a Draco corpse in the field, Moder defined this trip as - dragon slaying.
only.
Mod would not rush to Onigashima to cause trouble for the Beast Pirates without making any preparations.
You know, the Beast Pirates have formed an alliance with the pirates who are also the Four Emperors.
In this case, if Mod wants to take action against one of them, he must at least investigate the intelligence first.
Otherwise, if you happen to be on Ghost Island...
That's not fun.
In addition, Maud also had to prepare some shadows in advance.
Looking back on the path he took, Moder has challenged many enemies who are stronger than himself.
The weak defeating the strong is not a normal situation for Maud, but it has been experienced many times.
The reason why he has such a dazzling record is largely due to the shadow fruit.
Or-
It is the most representative shadow gathering place among the many abilities of the Shadow Fruit.
Absorb shadows to enhance your physique, skills, and strength...
It is this ability that gives Mord unlimited possibilities to defeat the weak against the strong.
He was able to defeat Whitebeard in the Summit War not only because Whitebeard was old, but more importantly because of the increase in strength brought about by the shadow gathering place.
The same is true for the recent Impel Down incident.
If it weren't for the power increase brought by the shadow gathering place, and the shadow clone mechanism that can double one's own strength.
How could Moder unexpectedly use a hegemonic and barrier-breaking combined skill to seriously injure Kizaru, and completely suppress Kizaru in the subsequent battle.
You know, his overall star rating itself is not as good as Kizaru.
So, this is the charm of the shadow fruit that is looked down upon by a few people...
Its ability itself exists to break through the upper limit of users, and it is undoubtedly one of the strongest in the superhuman series.
Because of this, in the eyes of others, Mod's strength is very strong, strong enough to suppress the four emperors and generals.
After all, there are many examples of people being exposed.
for example-
Defeat Whitebeard in a single challenge.
The dismantled cake island is.
Knocked Kaido into the sea.
The same goes for suppressing Kizaru to the point of doing nothing.
But Mod himself knew that with his current comprehensive strength, in the absence of [Amplification], he could not suppress the Four Emperors. At most, he could fight against the Four Emperors.
This is the indifferent illusion created by [Shadow Gathering Place] on Mod.
After all, as long as Mod is prepared in advance, these [illusions] will become reality.
Therefore, before going to Ghost Island, even if his own combat power is sufficient, Moder must prepare some shadows in advance that can increase his strength and replenish his physical strength and domineering power.
all in all.
Now that the goal has been determined, it is not necessary to be foolproof, but at least to be well prepared.
"Tezolo."
While Maude was thinking, she suddenly thought of another important thing.
Tezzolo looked at Maude and waited for the next step.
"I need a lot of gold."
As Tezoro officially joined the pirate group, Mod was no longer polite.
"piece of cake."
Hearing this, Tezzolo didn't even ask why Maud needed the gold. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers with a smile.
In an instant, the numerous golds distributed on the Gulan Tezolo immediately responded to Tezolo's instructions, and each turned into a stream of golden streams, converging in the direction of Tezolo from all directions.
rumble-
Following the dull sound, the walls and even the ceiling in the room instantly turned into liquid gold and flowed downwards.
Without the cover of walls and ceilings, everyone's field of vision instantly becomes wider.
And just as everyone looked outside, a surging golden fountain gushing from bottom to top appeared in front of them.
Immediately afterwards, the golden fountain changed from liquid to solid in a second, turning into a huge gold pillar that would make most pirates choose to retire on the spot.
"enough?"
Tezzolo stood in front of the golden pillar with his arms spread out, smiling at everyone who looked shocked without exception.
In the world, only he, the Golden Emperor, could create such a shocking scene.
Mod looked at the huge gold pillar that Tezoro had made, quickly estimated the amount of gold needed to transform the terrifying three-masted ship, and quickly came to a conclusion.
"enough!"
Maude smiled at Tezzolo.
With so much gold, there will definitely be a surplus after the transformation.
Suddenly, Mod thought of something and asked: "Tezolo, your ability has been awakened, right?"
"Yes."
Tezzolo nodded.
Seeing this, Maude asked bluntly: "So, this golden pillar shouldn't be assimilated with power, right?"
"No, this golden pillar is real gold."
Tezzolo's answer dispelled Maud's worries.
Assimilation and creation are different in nature.
If this golden pillar is assimilated with power, it will return to its original shape when it touches the sea water. It will definitely not be used to transform the terrifying three-masted ship.
In fact.
There are indeed two types of gold at Tezoro's disposal.
One is real gold, and the other is gold assimilated using abilities.
There are pros and cons between both.
What Tezolo uses most is naturally the gold which is more convenient to assimilate.
But having said that, Tezzolo still has a lot of real gold.
There was no problem at all in meeting Maud's need to transform the terrifying barque.
After solving the problem of gold demand, Mod's idea of going to Sky Island suddenly faded away.
Although I still want to collect all kinds of Sky Island shells from Sky Island, this matter can be left to Urki, and he doesn’t need to do everything by himself.
That night.
Tezzolo hosted a banquet for everyone in Maud.
Tanaka and Baccarat, who had been taught by Perona before using the negative ghost, never expected that Lord Tezzolo, whom they respected as a god, would be willing to succumb to Maude.
This shocked them.
But when the dust settled, they had no choice but to accept this fact.
Also shocked by this incident was Bonnie, who boarded the ship for news about the bear.
She has been running around for a long time, and over time she has mastered a lot of news and rumors.
News about the Golden Emperor Tezoro…
She still has a certain level of understanding.
In particular, Tezzolo's bad style of being self-centered is no secret.
But this kind of man chose to serve under Maude without even having a fight.
The feeling this result gave Bonnie was like the former Shichibukai Hawkeye Mihawk announcing without warning that he would become a crew member under Mod's command.
Too fake…
Bonnie was stuffing food into her mouth while looking at Maude and Tezolo.
Maud noticed Bonnie's gaze and glanced at her, but didn't take it seriously.
Picking up a plate of roast chicken and moving it in front of Bailey, Maude thought about how to arrange this golden ship.
With Sister Ya's Piaopiao Fruit ability, there is no need to worry about navigation.
The problem is that there are countless guests in the entertainment city on the Gulan Tezolo, as well as many employees who have settled here.
If Maude needed Tezzolo to follow him, he wouldn't take these guests and employees with him.
That's the problem.
You can't just kick the guests off the ship and fire all the employees.
Even if we want to do this, it cannot be completed in a short time.
Moreover, what Mod lacks most now is time, and he does not want to waste too much time and energy on the issue of dealing with the Gulan Tezoro.
Under this premise, he will also take Tezoro to deal with the Beast Pirates.
Regarding this problem, Maude could not think of a suitable solution for the time being.
So after the dinner, he posed the question directly to Tezzolo.
"Just leave the operation of the entertainment city to Tanaka and Baccarat."
Regarding the questions raised by Mod, Tezzolo simply chose to hand over Gulan Tezoro to the management of his subordinates, and then followed Mod alone to complete the so-called dragon-slaying plan.
So the problem was solved.
The next day.
The Golden Emperor Tezoro boarded the Hades as a new crew member of the Mod Pirates.
Also boarding the ship was a huge golden pillar.
At Morde's request, Tezzolo turned the huge golden pillar into a ball.
"Lord Tezolo..."
Under the reluctant gaze of Tanaka Bacara and other subordinates, the Hades floated high into the sky and headed towards the Devil's Triangle.
After a while, he disappeared from the sight of everyone in Bakala.
High in the sky.
The Hades flew through the sky.
Tezzolo stood at the side of the ship, resting his thumb on his chin, looking up with interest at the giant golden ball floating in the air like the Hades.
"This ability..."
While whispering to himself, Tezoro turned his head and glanced at Jia Ya, who was not far away.
He started out as a businessman, and when he saw Jaya effortlessly transporting the giant golden ball, he immediately thought of the commercial value contained in this ability.
"Tezolo, do you want some black tea?"
Brooke came to Tezzolo quietly and handed him a cup of hot black tea in a friendly manner.
"Tezolo, today's dessert is the red chestnut pudding cake specially prepared by my eldest sister. It goes perfectly with black tea!"
On the other side, Bailey brought a plate of crystal clear pastries and put it in front of Tezzolo.
