In a training room in Ryusu Island, a gray-haired shirtless man was working out. He did this kind of training almost every day, pushing his physical strength to the limit again and again to improve! Even after graduating from Reborn's hellish training, he did not slack off for even a moment, because his hatred for the nobles drove him this far!
"How many times have I told you? It's okay to train like this a few times, but if you strain your body too much, let alone building up your strength, it will just damage your own body."
Issho suddenly said as he pushed open the door of the training room.
Gild Tesoro, this guy came to Ryusu Island after graduating from Reborn's hellish training. Because he wasn't dispatched in any mission, he cooped up in the training room almost all the time, training day and night. His desire for money in the past had already turned into yearning for power. This was because he was now very clear that wealth without strength to support it was like a paper house that could collapse at any time.
"Clank!"
He let of of the huge dumbbell and it smashed into the ground, making a loud sound. Only god knew how strong this guy was right now. He casually grabbed a towel to wipe his sweat. The muscles on Tesoro's body also became more and more obvious. "That is only a possibility, isn't it? I started later than you all. I am too weak. Even with Reborn-sensei's training, I am definitely the weakest among the officers. Be it Crowley, Enel, or Kyros, they are all stronger than me. Therefore, I can only give twice, five times, or even ten times the effort!"
That's right, since there was a gap between them, he needed to work harder to catch up. The current Tesoro was completely different from the Tesoro, who was corrupted by money like in the anime!
"So, since you're looking for me, does that mean there is a mission for me, Boss?" Tesoro grinned, and his eyes were full of excitement. "I have been waiting for this moment for so long. I can't just sit around and do nothing now that I'm External Advisors' officer, right?"
After he graduated from Reborn's hellish training, he immediately became an officer, but he hadn't received any mission until now. At most, he would help dealing with with Family-related business, and he couldn't just sit around and do nothing. Although no one had any objection to him being an officer, he himself could not accept being appointed as officer without achieving anything.
"Yes, there is indeed a mission for you, and it's Primo's order. I also think that you should go out. Take a look at the scenery and loosen up a little or something. It unexpectedly makes you stronger, you know."
Issho was very concerned about Tesoro. After all, this guy was the only officer under his command!
Why was that?
That was because none of the other External Advisor members were in Ryusu Island!
Koshiro was far in East Blue running his own dojo. Robin was in charge of a lot of things in Secon Island, and Kuina had not finished her training with Ugetsu Asari. Jinbei was also traveling around the world with his big brother, Fisher Tiger.
So, most things that External Advisor was responsible for were done by their leader, Issho, in the past few years. Waiting for an officer who could graduate from Reborn's hellish training sure took some time.
"Get on with it, boss. What's the mission?" Tesoro put on his shirt and asked.
Then, Issho passed a stack of documents to Tesoro then said, "Primo asked External Advisor to keep an eye on Gold-Gold Fruit, a Paramecia Devil Fruit."
"Where is it now?" Tesoro threw it aside after skimming through the document.
"One of the Warlord of the Seven Seas, Yaksha Doflamingo, I believe you should be somewhat familiar with this name. Two years ago, he caused us trouble. However, this mission has nothing to do with that. Primo simply believes that Devil Fruit will be of great help to you and suits you, and lastly..."
Before Issho could even finish his sentence, Tesoro picked up the Dying Will Ring, which was placed on the table next to him. It was an exclusive Dying Will Ring for him. Then, he put on his jacket and walked out, "Since it is Primo's order, I'll gladly eat that Devil Fruit. I will teach Doflamingo a lesson as well while I'm at it!"
Looking at Tesoro's back, Issho shook his head. "Impatience is not good, especially for youngsters. I just wanted to remind him to be careful, but he already took off. After all, that Heavenly Yaksha is not easy to deal with... But if the auction is really hold in the first half of Grand Line, maybe I can contact Koshiro-san to look after Tesoro?"
If Koshiro didn't mind, he should have nothing to worry about. After all, Koshiro was an excellent swordsman. Even Issho himself ought to be careful if Koshiro was his opponent.
And he should give a Dying Will Ring to Koshiro. That way, Koshiro could unleash more strength than before.
"Forget it, let's just ask Koshiro-san. After all, Tesoro is still too young. He tend to get impatient and that was bad. What's more, that Heavenly Yaksha is not easy to deal with."
With that in mind, Issho also made a decision. He would tell Koshiro about this matter. It would be very easy to enter the first half of Grand Line from East Blue. Moreover, outsiders did not know the connection between Koshiro and Vongola Family. This was also one of External Advisors' benefits. For a strong person like Koshiro who did not stick around with the Family, his identity was relatively hidden.
His identity should remain safe as long as he didn't stick out too much!
Compared to the independent special assassination unit Varia, the identity of External Advisors' members was relatively a secret. After all, despite being an assasination unit, Varia's members wore the same uniform and walked boldly on the way.
Who wouldn't recognize you once that happened?
Issho assumed that Varia members kept their identity a secret because they killed all the people who saw them!
