Chapter 245: The Banker and the Temptation

Of course Lindsay knew himβ€”

Gilde Tezzolo, the future [Golden Emperor]!

There is a story about this man's life, which can be described as a legend and a tragedy.

As a child, Tezzolo loved to sing, but because of his family's poverty, he could only watch entertainment performances from outside the venue.

Tezzolo's mother hated his singing, so he ran away and made a large group of fox friends with the money he stole from.

One day, Tezzolo loses at the casino and is about to be taken into slavery, but the former "friends" flee.

Tezzolo desperately escaped, but stumbled upon the slave market.

In the window of a slave shop, Tezzolo meets the woman who changed his life-

Stella.

It is the name that symbolizes the "star", and it gives a warm and bright feeling.

Stella thinks Tezzolo's singing voice is great, and the two talk happily.

Tezzolo wanted to set Stella free, so he stopped doing bad things and instead worked hard from morning to night.

He saved all the money he earned, hoping to buy Stella as soon as possible.

But just as Tezzolo was about to succeed, the cruel joke of fate struck.

The Draco just appeared and bought Stella away!

Enraged, Tezzolo shot at the Draconians and was eventually captured and reduced to a slave in the Holy Land of Mary Joyar.

One day, Tezzolo heard of Stella's death.

Tezzolo was filled with grief and indignation, believing that if he had money, everything would be different.

His mindset gradually changed.

Years have passed, and the "Mary Joy Attack" has erupted!

Fishman Hero Fisher Tiger climbed the holy land of Mary Joya with his bare hands, causing a monstrous chaos and freeing countless slaves, Tezzolo is one of them.

That was not so long ago.

Tezzolo, who had regained his freedom, began to wander the sea.

He hated the aristocracy and the rich, and sought "power" and "money", believing that if he had both, he could have everything!

……

And in that possible future.

A few years later, Doflamingo held an auction for the "Golden Fruit".

Originally, Doflamingo just wanted to attract guests, but Tezzolo led someone over to make a big incident, taking the opportunity to steal and eat the golden fruit.

After another three years, Tezzolo's fame gradually increased, and Doflamingo became aware of the original murderer.

But at this time, Tezzolo already had a very strong "capital".

Doflamingo simply put aside his hatred and forged a partnership with Tezzolo.

Not only Doflamingo, but with the gradual development of power, even the world government and the Draconians have to face up to the name "Gilde Tezzolo"!

He established Grand Tesoro, an independent state recognized by the world government and the world's largest entertainment city.

He sits on 20% of the world's Berry, black and white, and for a time the scenery is infinite.

The "golden power" he hated had become his strength.

In the face of the rich, then become the richer!

Let them submit to their feet, even the Draconians will do so sooner or later!

……

Even though all nine fingers were covered with gold rings, only the ring finger was empty.

It was reserved for Stella.

But the "star" that illuminated Tezzolo was gone forever.

That intense hatred and frustration drove the puppet named "Gilde Tezzolo" to devour everything desperately!

Undoubtedly, he is a "monster" distorted by the times!

……

Time goes back to the present, and the butterfly's wings are still flapping.

Don Quixote, Dressrosa, Devil Fruit Auction, Golden Fruit......

The appearance of these elements has been greatly advanced for various reasons.

Gilde Tezzolo either obtained information by chance, or he has long been eyeing this dark line.

All in all, he also came to Dressrosa and set his sights on the Devil Fruit at the auction!

……

Tezzolo knew very well that it would be difficult for him to participate in the battle for the Devil Fruit on his own.

So, he's going to muddy the waters!

For the past few days, he has been wandering the casino, looking for someone "powerful".

It doesn't matter if you come forward to talk to you, but you get a cold face or rejection!

The more strong people participate, the more likely he is to end up winning and the odds of winning are several points higher!

For example, the four here.

Especially her - the little girl with red and white hair.

……

"It's a great sound!"

Uta's grinning words still echoed in Tezzolo's mind.

How long has it been?

Since they separated from Stella, Tezzolo has never sung again, and no one has complimented her voice on her voice.

Undoubtedly, Tezzolo was touched.

But that alone could not defuse Tezzolo's hatred and anger.

"However, in return for that word, if you are willing to believeβ€”"

Tezzolo stretched out his hand to Uta and smiled, "At least in this casino, I'll be on your side!" ”

Seeing this scene, Uta also stretched out his hand and grinned:

"Please take care of me!"

……

After the intermission, Gamblers' Night resumes.

Compared to the previous freewheeling, with the addition of Tezzolo, everyone's goal is much clearer.

According to each person's different abilities, choose the most suitable gambling game, and the speed of making money has almost doubled!

Especially on the side of Uta and Tezzolo.

Thanks to the ability of the Fruit of the Song, Uta is able to hear the melody of his opponent.

No matter how good a gambler is, it is impossible to erase his heart!

Based on this judgment, Utayo is equivalent to having the power of "mind reading", and no one can stop him at the gambling table!

"The pace is good and the progress is very fast!"

Tezzolo excitedly said, "That thing' will come to the door soon!" ”

Uta was puzzled, "What is it?" ”

Hearing this, Tezzolo was just about to explain, but several pirates next to him surrounded him.

They just lost to Uta, and there is no point left for tens of millions of Berry!

At the end of the road, they chose to take a risk.

"Hey, you two!"

The pirate captain raised his musket and aimed it at Uta.

The rest of the younger brothers surrounded him, trapping Uta and Tezzolo in the middle.

The pirate captain grinned and said viciously: "I regret it, return the money to me quickly, and some compensation!" ”

There is no doubt that this is shoddy intimidation.

In the casino, those gamblers who have lost everything often go to such extremes.

But Tezzolo really didn't expect that in such a luxurious casino, the dealer would let others do this!

What about the casino guards?

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Did the dealer acquiesce?

Is it a temptation for their "force"?

Tezzolo's brow furrowed, but he still stood in front of the little girl.

He secretly motioned to Uta to leave as soon as possible and seek help from the other two adults.

But I don't know if the communication is not in place, Uta did not move, but looked at everything in front of him with interest.

"Tsk......"

Tezzolo frowned, and roared helplessly: "I'm dragging here, you go find a companion to help!" ”

With that, he swung his fist at the pirates.

After so many years, Tezzolo is also exercising, and his combat effectiveness is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Bang!

One pirate is knocked to the ground, but more are besieged.

Two punches were no match for four, and Tezzolo was quickly knocked to the canvas.

"Abominable ......"

He looked back, only to find that Uta was still standing there, not in the slightest attempt to call for help.

Tezzolo was puzzled for a moment, and shouted in a low voice:

"Hey!"

"It's fine."

Uta tilted her head and smiled.

With both fists clenched, the outline of the two key hands is faintly visible!

"Mr. Lindsay said that he can't reveal his identity, so let's concentrate his strength on his fists, and it should work......"

"Okay, almost!"

Uta opened her eyes, and notes danced in her pupils.

There was a faint light flashing on both hands, and it was a complete set of notes!

"Aha!"

She leaped forward and threw her fist at the pirates around her, and Totemjika's strange power exploded.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble......

In a short time, the surrounding pirates have all been beaten to the ground, except for the pirate captain.

"Hey...... Feed! ”

The pirate captain's hands trembled, and he could barely hold his musket.

He stepped back one after another, and was about to beg for mercy, when a gunshot suddenly rang out behind him.

Bang!

Buckshot fired, and the pirate captain fell to the ground.

Tezzolo and Uta seek prestige and see the person who shot the gun, who is none other than the escort of this casino!

The captain of the guard, the casino dealer, was a balding middle-aged man.

With a smile on his face, he walked up to the two of them, bowed, and said:

"Sorry you guys, this accident was a mistake on our part."

"As an apology, I have an offer."

The dealer rubbed his fingers, and the thief smiled: "Two, it's not interesting to gamble like this, right?" ”

Really!

Tezzolo's eyes lit up, and his heart was secretly happy, this was what he was waiting for!

"Are you going to take us to a hidden location for a more secret game?"

"What? What? ”

Who knows, the dealer waved his hand again and again, shook his head and said: "No, there is no such thing as an urban legend here!" ”

Tezzolo: "......"

Uncle Zhuang took back the musket and said with a sinister smile:

"My proposal is to let the casino act as a 'matchmaker' to find equally wealthy customers and make one-on-one head-to-head bets!"

"Heads-up!"

"The winner takes all, the loser has nothing, this is gambling!"

He took an invitation from his pocket and dangled it in front of Tezzolo and Uta.

"You two, dare you to try it?"
