Greenbit's first "auction meeting" went extremely smoothly.
But there were still many things that dissatisfied Dylan.
For example, most of the alloys were bought by the same person.
"Golden Emperor" Tesoro.
This money-hungry guy claims to own more than 20% of the world's berries, able to influence the Celestial Dragons and issue orders through the World Government.
In light of the notoriety of the "Rairyu", although Gild Tesoro's people monopolized most of the alloys at high prices, they were not as arrogant as before.
Even when leaving, he very humbly invited the "Vice Admiral" to visit Gran Tesoro for a vacation, with all expenses covered.
"Gran Tesoro..."
Dylan's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table. Tesoro was far from evil but he wasn't a good person either—a miserable man whose mind was twisted by hatred.
"According to our current pricing...if we raise the price, other people will be discouraged, and then our purpose of prospering Greenbit will have failed. If we keep the original price, with the financial power of the 'Golden Emperor' and his wealth-making ability, I'm afraid this situation will happen every time."
Faced with this situation, Tahir seemed unfazed.
Clearly, this "Golden Emperor" is "inviting" Dylan to his Gran Tesoro in this way.
All we need to know now is Dylan's attitude.
With their strength, it is not difficult to destroy Gran Tesoro. It could even be said that they don't need to involve senior officers. A few recruits would be enough to erase the existence of Gran Tesoro.
"Is it the instigation from next door?"
Greenbit's "next door" – Dressrosa.
"I don't know, but I don't think so. After all, 'that' person's goal is to destroy Mariejois. Pushing you to be on the opposite side of the World Government so quickly is not in line with his long-term goals, and he doesn't seem to be such a stupid person."
Indeed...
Doflamingo's vision and ambition should not allow him to make such a crude judgment.
It seems that this is what the "Golden Emperor" himself meant.
While Dylan was deep in thought, the green-grey Den Den Mushi on the table rang.
"Um?"
CP0's face appeared on the Den Den Mushi: "One of our officers wants to see you."
Officer?
Dylan frowned. As far as he knew, the person in CP0 who could be called "officer" should be Rob Lucci.
But Dylan believed that there were other organizations above CP0, such as CP-X?
Either that or Rob Lucci is not considered the highest strength of the CP0 organization.
After all, it is an organization that competes with the "Revolutionary Army". With Rob Lucci's skills, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive even one round against Dragon.
"Let him come up."
The World Government... did they notice what Tesoro was doing?
"········"
Looking at the phone caller who fell silent but did not hang up, Dylan leaned forward slightly: "Do you want me to visit him?"
After a brief silence, a voice came from the other side again: "He is coming."
More than ten minutes later, a man wearing white clothes and a mask appeared in Dylan's office.
Dylan looked at the person in front of him and smiled. "I wonder if your disguise could be any trickier? Are you wearing a big dove on your head to prevent others from recognizing you, Rob Lucci?"
Rob Lucci's body visibly paused, and then he took off the mask on his face.
"I heard that you received an invitation from 'Gran Tesoro.' I was ordered to complete a mission. The Five Elders ordered you to cooperate with me."
Dylan lay in his chair and looked at Rob Lucci, neither talking to him nor saying no.
"What's the problem?" Rob Lucci couldn't help but ask after a moment.
A steel ball appeared in Dylan's hand, floating in his palm.
The lightning wrapped around the steel ball, and the friction between the lightning and the air made a sizzling sound.
Rob Lucci's pupils shrank slightly.
During the "Summit War", someone had seen him use this move to instantly kill "Captain of the 7th Division of the Whitebeard Pirates" Rakuyo.
"Give you a chance to reorganize your language."
Faced with Dylan's strength and oppression, Rob Lucci's mouth twitched, but in the end, he didn't say anything like "CP is higher than the Marines".
Before coming, he did apply to the Five Elders for the cooperation of the nearest and strongest "Rairyu" Adams Dylan, but the attitude of the Five Elders was very strange.
They simply nodded and said that Rob Lucci could go to Dylan to discuss it himself.
This situation is simply unprecedented. You must know that the World Government attaches no less importance to Gran Tesoro than those of the top powers.
After all, the amount of wealth Gran Tesoro controls is truly astonishing.
But even for such a task, the Five Elders actually did not impose any orders, and did not even personally issue orders to the Naval Headquarters or G-5 branch.
"I was ordered to 'deal with' Gild Tesoro, hoping to get the cooperation of the G-5 branch..."
"Wrong answer."
The steel ball turned into a stream of light and instantly came to Rob Lucci's forehead.
Lucci, who transformed into a leopard form, looked at the steel ball wrapped with lightning in front of him and swallowed.
"Remember, I am the one in charge. As for how to deal with him and how to deal with Gran Tesoro, it is also my decision. Do you understand?"
"Understood..."
Dylan stood up and recalled the steel ball, gestured to Tahir, and then said to Rob Lucci, "Change your dress, are you afraid that people will not know that you are CP0?"
······
Gran Tesoro, a giant ship that is ten kilometers long.
It drifts in the middle waters of the New World all year round.
Because its owner, the "Golden Emperor" Gild Tesoro, has unparalleled wealth, he secretly controls dozens of countries through money.
It is classified as an "absolute sanctuary" by the World Government and cannot be taken care of casually.
Of course, in Dylan's view, this is just the rhetoric of the World Government to support "Gild Tesoro".
A fat pig, of course, needs to be fattened before being killed to maximize profits.
The "Golden Emperor" Gild Tesoro didn't seem to realize this at all and instead acted more and more out of bounds.
The arrival of Rob Lucci also proves that the "harvest" of the World Government has begun.
When Dylan entered the port of Gran Tesoro on the G-5 warship, a huge band and greeters lined both sides of the port.
Dylan glanced at CP0 behind him.
He had changed into regular clothes, and his mask had been changed into a civet cat shape, which had basically broken away from the regular appearance of the CP organization.
"This kind of scene has almost never been seen... Even when royal families from various countries come, they are just greeted normally. Celestial Dragons... usually don't come here. After all, this area already belongs to the 'Danger zone'".
He is still the same person, and he knows what he wants to ask just by looking at him.
What a qualified compliment!
