"Well done!"
Facing the wind of the fist falling on his head, Esdeath raised his arms to meet it.
boom--!
The solid ice was shattered, the ice surface was dented, and the hard glacier under Esdeath's feet sank several meters deep.
But that was all. The huge golden fist stopped half a meter away from Esdeath. She resisted the unstoppable golden fist with one hand!
"What?!"
"Lord Tezoro's attack is completely useless!"
Tezzolo's men were screaming in surprise.
Tezzolo, who was inside the golden giant, his pupils suddenly shrank, his breathing stagnated, and his voice became trembling: "Lord Esdeath's strength is indeed unfathomable!"
"Are you just big?" Amidst the angry shouts, Esdeath used her arms to push up the giant golden fist. The golden giant staggered and took two steps back.
"This strangely powerful woman." Kuang San curled his lips: "She is actually so strong."
"Yeah." Xia Lulu took advantage of the opportunity to insult Esdeath and nodded in agreement.
Scathach said calmly: "My strength is no less than hers."
Everyone: "..."
"Block the golden giant's attack with one hand!"
"How strong are the individual leaders of the Yonko Pirates?!"
Tezoro's boys were wailing on their boats.
"Lord Esdeath, I will attack with all my strength next!" Tezzolo decided to go all out. Today is also an opportunity to show his strength.
"Can you satisfy me?" Esdeath slowly pulled out the sword, and the blade rubbed against the scabbard.
Eric yelled from the sidelines: "Esdeath, don't kill him!"
"I know."
Under the control of Tezzolo, the golden giant's seemingly bulky body suddenly burst out with terrifying punching speed, and its fists made entirely of gold dragged out long phantoms in the air.
The heartbeat seemed to stop for a beat, the sword blade and the golden fist collided hard, and air blast waves erupted at the intersection.
After one blow failed, the golden giant immediately retracted his fist, and the second punch came one after another. He fired dozens of punches in a few breaths, forming a dense shadow of fists.
"Clang clang clang!"
The sound of Jin Ge could not be heard without stopping, and there was a burst of intensive collisions.
"Although the giant's body is made of gold, it is not as soft as ordinary gold." Da Vinci suddenly became interested: "It is amazingly strong in terms of hardness and strength. Eric, remember to help me after the battle. Get some assimilated gold.”
"You still have some moves that you haven't used yet." Esdeath urged: "Don't make me wait too long!"
"Okay!" The golden giant withdrew his fist backward like never before. The original fist instantly expanded in a circle, and the muscles lost their shape, and then became armored.
"Golden Industry Fire!"
Esdeath could feel the blazing heat from the gold and raised her sword to stab the armored fist.
"clang!"
The tip of the sword hit the gold with dazzling sparks, and the metal clanged loudly again.
The sharp famous sword has penetrated into the golden iron fist, and the huge fist emits an even more dazzling light.
"boom!"
Like a second sun under the sky, the rays emitted cast a golden light on the entire world, and the strong winds generated by the explosion rocked the wooden sailboat.
The dazzling light dissipated, and the thick black smoke drifted away.
Tezzolo's younger brother pointed to the sky and shouted: "Look over there!"
Esdeath stood on a high place safe and sound, with an icicle under her feet connected to the ice.
"The power is good." Esdeath pulled out the Western sword from the golden fist: "I almost want to turn into a giant form."
As soon as he finished speaking, the icicles under Esdeath's feet gradually expanded, and the slender column became thicker, gradually wrapping Esdeath in a thick layer of ice, and an ice giant about the same size as the golden giant appeared. In front of everyone.
"Another giant appears!"
Tezzolo: "..."
"What other moves are there? Use them all!"
"Golden Divine Fire!" The golden giant's right eye opened wide, using domineering energy as energy. It was heated through mechanical transmission in the giant's body, generating high-temperature and high-density energy, and fired a laser from the giant's eye.
The laser instantly pierced the distance between the two. The ice giant swung his arms and struck a heavy straight punch, and a cold wind howled out.
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
The ice melted to create a cavity in the high-temperature laser, and the water began to boil in the scorching rays. The laser followed the path of the ice arm.
The freezing air released by Esdeath was constantly condensing new ice cubes. The two forces fought against each other in the giant's arm, and finally blew the ice giant's arm off with a "boom".
Under Esdeath's control, the ice giant grew identical arms in the blink of an eye, and the loud cheers of Tezoro's younger brother suddenly stuck in his throat.
"Not only do you have melee moves, but you also have long-range attacks." Esdeath's expression became more and more excited: "It's very powerful, you're pretty good!"
Before Tezoro could reply, the ice giant, under the control of Esdeath, made a thunderous fist, directly hitting the golden giant's head.
His neglected reflexes had no time to dodge, and Tezzolo could only control the giant to raise his head and twist his body desperately, hoping to reduce the strong impact of the fist.
"boom!"
The ice fist exploded on the face of the golden giant, and the giant's round cheeks were instantly sunken. The cold air instantly penetrated the gold, and even crawled along the gold to Tezzolo's arms, which were instantly covered with a layer of white frost.
"It's so cold!"
Tezzolo only had time to shout, and rushed in violently to interrupt his words. The golden giant staggered backwards and fell!
The strong shock wave made Tezzolo see stars in his eyes, and the cold air stung his skin, but he had no time to speak again, and the ice giant did not give him time to breathe and rest.
The scene in the anime where the protagonist is waiting for the protagonist to recover his strength did not appear. The ice giant's raised left fist hit him again without mercy!
"boom!"
The golden giant raised his arms to resist, and the ice fist was heavily imprinted on the junction of his arms.
Under Esdeath's attack, the golden giant's huge body sank toward the ice again.
The ice giant took a few steps back, and Esdeath's cold voice came from inside: "Hey, get up quickly."
"Even the little girls on our ship know that if you fall to the ground during a battle, you have to get up immediately!"
Tezzolo was stunned, and quickly manipulated the golden giant to stand up and shake off the remaining ice cubes on his body.
"You won't have to rely on this huge body to fight, right?" Esdeath said coldly: "At least let me see your fighting will, let me see the hatred buried in your heart! What will you do lying on the ground? Look like?!”
Esdeath's voice penetrated into Tezzolo's ear canal, shattering the hard shell deep in his heart. With hatred as fuel and revenge as motivation, his mood instantly became excited.
His vision was gradually covered with a layer of red, and the beat of blood pumping into his skull was clear. Tezzolo's emotions had never been so high.
The golden giant's fists swelled, and high heat was stored inside the armor's gold, which he only expected to be completely released.
The Ice Giant also waved his fist and rushed forward, hitting the opponent with the extremely cold air accompanied by the hunting wind.
As a result, the two giants began to punch each other, heat radiation spread on the ice, and air blast waves reverberated high in the sky.
The high heat is melting the ice, and the freezing air is condensing the ice. The huge temperature difference causes large cyclones to blow around, and a large amount of white steam makes the two giants in the battle disappear and appear.
Only the clanging sound and the constantly blowing wind and waves reminded everyone that the battle was still going on.
…
Tezzolo lay exhausted on the cobweb-shaped glacier, even the power to drive a finger no longer existed.
"How is it?" Eric asked: "Is his strength still impressive?"
"Average." Esdeath moved his shoulders: "Barely considered a warm-up."
"..." Baccarat silently helped up Tezzolo, who was out of strength.
"However, we can't just look at reputation." Esdeath put her hand on her chin: "I didn't expect that Tezoro, who has no reputation, is no worse than the Shichibukai."
Now Baccarat finally couldn't help it: "Master Tezzolo is very famous in the New World!"
"Really?" Esdeath ignored Baccarat's retort: "I've never heard of it."
Baccarat suppressed her anger: "..."
Tezzolo could only gasp, "Huh...huh...", his mouth was shaking slightly but he couldn't say anything.
"You have a good rest, there is plenty of time for revenge." Eric turned around and said, "Wendy, I'm sorry to bother you."
"Yes!" Wendy, who was the ship's doctor, trotted up to him, and the light of restored strength fell on Tezzolo.
Tezzolo, who had recovered enough strength to walk on his own, followed Eric back to the conference room.
"Continue the topic that Esdeath interrupted just now." Eric scratched his head: "Where have we talked?"
"We talked about letting Tezoro take on the position of Shichibukai." Kurumi took out the notebook used to record the meeting: "After saying that he was capable, Esdeath took him out and had a fight."
"Lord Esdeath is indeed powerful." Tezzolo was already impressed by Esdeath's strength and grace.
Chitong looked curious: "Do you deserve a beating?"
"Ah?" Tezzolo was startled.
"Ahem." Eric cleared his throat and turned everyone's attention to him: "Although serving as a Shichibukai requires you to comply with the navy's mandatory muster order, you don't need to pay attention to ordinary muster orders."
Eric asked Tezzolo: "Does going to Navy Headquarters remind you of those painful memories?"
"..." Tezoro shook his head: "As long as I can take revenge on those Celestial Dragons, I can endure any hardship!"
"That's good." Eric sighed, what a good man, but he was persecuted like this by the Celestial Dragons all his life.
With this group of pig teammates existing, if the world government does not collapse, it will be unreasonable!
"By the way." Eric asked: "Besides opening an entertainment city and being a first-class entertainer, do you have other businesses?"
Tezzolo nodded and admitted: "Because it is the era of great pirates, the valuable stolen goods obtained by pirate robberies cannot be disposed of openly. As the owner of the casino, I recycle these goods and work with the 'warehousing industry boss' Kibotson on the goods." There is business cooperation in sales.”
"oh."
Tezzolo continued: "I also have business dealings with the 'King of Loan Sharks' Felder. Sometimes he lacks liquidity, so he borrows short-term loans from me."
Kuang San frowned and asked, "Is the loan shark king also short of money?"
"It is a 'loan shark' after all. Although Feld is famous in the dark world, he is far less famous than the Yonko Pirates. Therefore, there will be many people who want to get rid of his loan shark, and they may happen to meet the customer who comes to borrow the loan shark. Tezzolo shrugged: "The casino owner has more cash."
"Haha..." Kuang San sneered: "Those guys who want to default on their debts will definitely not end well."
"Yes." Tezzolo said with certainty: "But those deadbeats also deserve their punishment. They are basically big pirates who have done many evil things. They want to use their strong strength to turn away one or two hundred million beli to eat and drink for free."
"Oh?" Chitong asked, "Is there such a good thing?"
"Can your ears only hear freeloading?" Eric flicked Chi Tong's head, turned to Tezzolo and said: "You continue to talk."
"Which of the big bosses who can prosper in the bloody dark world is an easy one?" Tezzolo spread his hands: "The reason why Feld didn't accept the challenge in the new world?" The reason why he refused to repay the loan shark was because he had a good relationship with Big Mom and basically attended every tea party."
Chi Tong's eyes lit up: "Tea party?"
Eric covered his head.
Tezzolo explained: "The tea party is actually a convening order for the Big Mom Pirates. Anyone who receives the invitation to the tea party must be present."
"Ha..." Esdeath said disdainfully: "What can we do to us even if we don't go?"
"Of course the Big Mom Pirates are not as good as the Dawn Pirates." Tezoro waved his hands repeatedly: "But this is a summons that people other than the Yonko must abide by."
"Because I am in the entertainment industry and have a relatively extensive intelligence network, so I know some inside information."
"I heard that a man once fell seriously ill because of his beloved wife. He specifically explained the situation and did not go to the tea party. As a result..." Tezzolo secretly clenched his fists under the table: "Just a few days later, his beloved wife's head was dead. It was packaged in a beautiful gift box and delivered to him.”
"It's really too much!"
After relieving the suffocation in his chest for a while, Tezzolo continued: "If it is not a very powerful pirate, Feld will send his own men to deal with it. If it is a pirate that he cannot handle, he will ask the Big Mom Pirate Group to take action."
Esdeath sneered: "The Big Mom Pirates are really cheap."
"The Big Mom Pirates are already considered local warlords." Eric shook his head: "It cannot rob its own citizens, not to mention that her country does not collect taxes, so it can only obtain funds from other places."
Kuang Sanyi was startled and said in disbelief: "Auntie actually doesn't collect taxes? Would she be so kind?"
"I think it's better to collect taxes." Tezzolo knows the serious consequences of being free: "All citizens of Totland must surrender one month of their lives every six months as the cost of BigMom's protection, otherwise they must leave."
"However, BigMom will never allow anyone to leave Totland and anyone who attempts to leave will be sentenced to death."
Chitong was startled: "Wow!"
Kuang San smiled and asked: "Do you still dare to eat the free lunch?"
"So that's it." Esdeath recalled: "The large number of chess soldiers we encountered before were made from the lifespan of the people under her rule."
"That..." Eric raised his hand to signal: "The building is tilted again."
Tezzolo continued: "Felder is not afraid of pirates defaulting on their debts. He usually lends the pirates the principal plus interest, which is less than the amount of the pirate's bounty."
"If you don't have money, you can just use the heads of pirates to pay off the debt." Esdeath nodded: "Good method."
"Besides, I also have a business relationship with Stussy, the Queen of Fun Street."
Kuang San: "This nickname makes people uncomfortable when they hear it."
Eric asked curiously: "What business do you have with her?"
"It's all in the entertainment industry." Tezzolo scratched his head: "Newly opened casinos and entertainment venues sometimes lack young and beautiful waitresses, so I will specially hire some... salesmen from her. "
Tezzolo spoke hesitantly and paused for a while before he came up with the word.
"It can not only expand the business scope, but also increase additional income." Eric clapped his hands: "What a good idea."
"That's right." Tezzolo said excitedly: "I didn't expect Sir Eric to know business."
'I know a P. '
Tezzolo invited everyone: "If you have time, you can come to my casino to relax and play at any time."
"Really..." Eric was about to agree, but after noticing the stinging glances of several women around him, he immediately refused righteously: "No, I want to continue to increase my strength!"
Tezzolo admired: "As expected of Lord Eric, he is really diligent. I will learn from Lord Eric!"
"In addition, I also have business dealings with 'Sea Transport King' Umit..."
"You are involved in too many industries..." Eric had a headache hearing this. It's a shame he could remember so much.
…
After the meeting and discussion, Eric and Tezzolo exchanged life cards and phone numbers.
Eric gave Tezzolo his mission to serve as a Shichibukai and earn enough money, and Eric decided to continue moving towards his goal.
