Since that day, Mr. Tanaka was secretly dealt with by Tezzolo, and it was announced to the public that he was unfortunately killed by pirates. Then... the golden high-rise building where Tezzolo was located was also renovated.
The two of them were silent all the way as they followed the elevator up.
Tezzolo, who had his back to Garp, could only tell from the reflection on the smooth golden wall that he was staring at him. As for the specific expression, it was elusive.
While waiting for the elevator to reach the top of the building, Tezzolo's thoughts were racing.
"Could it be that the poisoning incident was exposed?"
"No, it's impossible... For such a big thing, even with the banner of Canglong, Garp should take action directly."
"Perhaps... I just have some clues. I am frightened by the existence of Canglong and the resources in my hands and dare not act rashly. So the government first sent Garp to find out the details?"
"Or maybe I did something recently that attracted Garp to investigate?"
Tezzolo thought silently.
Ding!
Not long after, the elevator made a soft beep and opened in front of the two of them.
As the host, Tezzolo spread his hands with a false warm smile on his face: "Mr. Karp, please!"
"Good work!"
In response, Garp nodded solemnly and walked out of the room.
Noticing Garp's movements, Tezolo also breathed a sigh of relief.
The top floor of this building is made of pure gold, which can maximize his golden fruit ability. As long as he buys a millisecond of time, he will have a chance to activate the fruit awakening.
Not to retreat from the enemy, but to retreat.
The advantage of playing at home is something only those with Devil Fruit abilities have.
Arriving at the center of the spacious living room, Tezzolo motioned for Garp to sit wherever he wanted. He opened the cabinet, took down a bottle of wine that looked extremely expensive at first glance, and took out two glasses.
"Want a drink?"
"Forget it, I'm not used to drinking. Just give me some donuts."
Tezzolo: "...Sorry, this one doesn't exist."
Who always has donuts ready at home
Drinks are a must, right? !
"You can have this!"
"This really doesn't happen!"
"Forget it, let's get down to business."
Garp sat back on the sofa and rubbed his nose.
"Actually, you know your position, right, Mr. Tezzolo?"
"Even if you have some contact with us because of Ron's bastard brat, you should know that both the Five Old Stars and our navy regard you as a thorn in their side... It's just that you haven't gone too far in doing things, and you haven't touched the bottom line. , coupled with the influence you have, let us take action. ”
"Hey, that's right."
Tezzolo calmly poured himself a glass of wine, held the glass with one hand and leaned against the cabinet, holding it with his left hand on his right elbow.
"In order to start a business when I was young, I inevitably did some excessive things. The primitive accumulation of capital is full of blood, isn't it?"
After that, he took a sip lightly and said with a smile: "So now I am planning to change my career. I will barely care about the underworld and only get involved in serious business... As General Canglong said, the future is bright, just wash away the mud. To face a new life.”
Speaking of this, Tezzolo narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You keep coming to my place, are you trying to settle an old score with me?"
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in that."
Garp grinned, lowered his head slightly, and looked blankly: "But can the blood you handle really be washed away?"
Forgiveness and forgetting are actually the same thing.
"Law and Fujitora are different from you..."
Garp shook his head and continued: "Although they bear the name of Shichibukai, what they actually do is not pirates at all, so even if Ron joins forces with them, we can all turn a blind eye. ”
"After all, the Shichibukai!"
"Actually, I am quite happy to see this scene. Apart from 'Empress' Hancock, there is no one in the Shichibukai who can exercise their legal right to plunder at sea. This is all due to Ron."
"Only you..."
Garp suddenly turned his head and looked at him sideways: "It's a completely unstable factor!"
boom! !
In the air, a remarkable momentum suddenly surged, and the air flow was like a storm, destroying everything and leaving the living room in a mess.
boom! !
At this time, an unparalleled overlord-like domineering force rose at the same time, and purple-black thunder bloomed in the void. It was the destructive force of the constant confrontation of the power of faith, interfering with the emergence of reality.
Tezzoro held the wine glass steadily, ignoring the purple-black thunder that was constantly emerging around him, and said calmly: "If you want to add to the crime, why bother?"
"I'm not a good person to begin with... So if Mr. Karp wants to accuse me of the old things I have done, I think you have found the wrong person!"
Uh-huh!
As soon as the words fell, the two overlords fighting in the air dispersed instantly. Garp let out a "hum" and put his feet on the tattered coffee table.
"Accusation?"
"It's not that weak."
He looked at Tezzolo silently, with a hint of shock and disbelief deep in his eyes, but he hid it well.
"Do you know... what news I heard outside a few days ago?"
"Oh? What?"
"Saying that you and Ron conspired to poison the Celestial Dragons in order to avenge the death of your first love, Stella!"
"enough!!"
Suddenly, Tezzolo shouted loudly, stopping Garp from continuing.
The gold around him began to squirm, and he looked gloomy: "Since you can say this name, you should know what she means to me!!"
"Don't force me, Garp! Do you believe that I will give up all my family assets to buy the life of your navy? !!"
With the ability of the Golden Emperor who controls 20% of the world's Bailey's circulation, he has the confidence to say this.
This is a man who can literally destroy the world with money!
He has become the person he hated the most back then, but he is also the richest person, bar none.
In response, Garp looked relaxed: "Don't worry, I don't believe it at all. After all, the time is too coincidental."
At present, the only people on their side who knew about the Tianlong incident were Ron and his gang, the Five Old Stars, and the top brass of the Navy who took great risks to reveal the truth.
And this news is obviously aimed at the powerful general "Canglong" who is indispensable to the navy. At this point in time, neither the navy nor the five old stars can spread such rumors, so the main messenger of the rumors really doesn't want to Too obvious.
Hearing this, Tezzolo took a deep breath to slow down his breathing, put down the cracked glass in his hand, and took out his handkerchief to wipe the wine.
"Then what? If that's why you came here, please go back."
"It's just some baseless rumors. I believe the Navy will help us prove our innocence."
However, after hearing these words, Garp's eyes suddenly darkened.
"Do you think you will really be innocent?"
"What's the meaning?"
Tezzolo felt a hint of uneasiness and asked subconsciously.
"You were still young at the time, so you didn't know much about it."
Garp silently clenched his fists and raised his head: "That guy Locks who almost destroyed the world back then..."
"I got the blueprint of Pluto!!"
"And I am the one who burned the design with my own hands!!"
Boom... boom! !
The top of the Golden Emperor Building, a representative building in the Golden City, exploded into a firework. The terrifying shock caused the ten-kilometer-long ship to shake from side to side. The two huge island turtles that were affected kept howling in unbearable pain.
