Looking at the ugly and disgusting faces around him, Tesoro felt immense anger in his heart. He wanted to rush over and kill the guys who took Stella away, but the intense pain in his body prevented him from even taking a step.
An invisible aura brewed within his body, wanting to erupt, but it couldn't break free.
It seemed to lack a certain catalyst, or perhaps Tesoro was too weak to unleash this aura.
Watching his beloved woman being taken away like this, his heart was filled with grief. He hated himself for not being able to earn enough money to redeem his woman, hated himself for not being able to protect his woman, and even more so hated these damned slave traders for stealing his Stella!
"Hey, I'm telling you guys who are just watching, forcibly separating a couple isn't a good habit."
However, just then, Nox happened to see this scene and walked over. This scene felt familiar.
"What we do is none of your business."
The people watching the commotion around them, seeing that someone dared to speak to them like that, immediately turned around and angrily rebuked the person who had just spoken.
But upon seeing Nox's true appearance, their voices abruptly stopped, and their faces even showed unprecedented fear.
"The World's Greatest Swordsman Nox, why is he here!"
"It's over, it's over, I actually cursed at him just now!"
Especially the person who had just cursed was now extremely terrified in his heart. He never expected the world-renowned Nox to appear on Sabaody Archipelago!
Most importantly, he had just cursed at the World's Greatest Swordsman!
"It's been a long time since anyone dared to curse at me. There are really too many idiots in this world; you run into them everywhere, and you can never clear them all out."
Nox couldn't help but shake his head and say.
At the same time, as his blood-red Haoshoku Haki erupted, all the people who were watching the commotion around him were instantly knocked unconscious.
Seeing this scene, both Tesoro and the slave traders who were holding Stella were stunned!
Nox's great name and appearance were known to anyone in this World who had ever read a newspaper.
"Lord Nox, please, I beg you, help me redeem Stella. I am willing to work like an ox or a horse to repay you. I can make money, I can make a lot, a lot of money!"
Seeing Nox's appearance, Tesoro grabbed onto him like a last straw, kneeling on the ground and desperately begging.
"Lord Nox, if you like this slave, we'll give her to you!"
Before Nox could speak, the slave traders immediately brought Stella over.
They were very clear that this great Lord in front of them hated slave traders the most. All the slave traders in the Limitless Sea had been ordered to be executed by him.
And he had publicly announced that anyone who dared to engage in the slave trade within the Limitless Sea would be immediately executed upon discovery.
It could be said that the Limitless Sea was a forbidden zone for slave traders. Not a single slave trader who dared to enter the Limitless Sea had ever come out alive.
"Do I need you to give me something I want?"
Nox merely glanced at the slave traders, and they immediately rolled their eyes and fainted on the ground.
Then, Nox waved his hand, and an invisible sword energy broke open the cage, releasing Stella.
"Tesoro, are you alright!"
After being released from the cage, Stella immediately ran to Tesoro and hugged him.
"Stella, I'm alright!"
Seeing that Stella could finally get out of that damned cage, Tesoro cried tears of joy.
"Lord Nox, thank you, thank you very much for saving Stella. From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do and absolutely obey your commands!"
Tesoro knew that everything he had was given by Nox in front of him, and he was extremely grateful to Nox in his heart.
"From now on, you are a member of the Limitless Pirates, but our Limitless Pirates don't lack money; what we lack is powerful fighting strength."
"Therefore, in our Limitless Pirates, strength is paramount. Only with powerful strength can you have the corresponding status."
"And only powerful strength can protect and possess abundant wealth!"
"I have high hopes for you. I hope you can quickly become stronger after joining the Limitless Pirates."
Nox said seriously.
Just now, he had sensed the faint Haoshoku Haki on Tesoro and was aware of his potential.
In the original story, Tesoro was someone who could develop his Devil Fruit to the Awakening stage. His potential was not low. If properly nurtured, he would be another powerful fighting force.
"Yes, Lord Nox, I will definitely not let you down."
Tesoro said seriously.
"Alright, I will arrange for someone to send you to the Limitless Sea later. Someone will naturally teach you how to become stronger there."
Saying that, Nox took Tesoro and Stella to the Law Net's station on Sabaody Archipelago.
"Send two people to safely escort them to the Limitless Sea. Their treatment will be according to the standard of a Vice Captain."
Nox said to the four Law Net members in front of him.
"Yes, Lord Nox!"
The Law Net members respectfully said upon seeing Nox.
After giving all the instructions, Nox left directly without lingering there. Discovering Tesoro was an unexpected bonus.
"Please follow me, both of you. We will follow Lord Nox's instructions and safely escort you to the Limitless Sea."
The four Law Net members quickly escorted Tesoro and Stella to a coated ship at the Sabaody Archipelago's dock. Their treatment was excellent.
On this ship, Tesoro ate delicious food he had never tasted in his life, his injuries were healed under the doctor's treatment, and most importantly, he could be with Stella!
"Tesoro, I feel like we're dreaming right now!"
Stella held Tesoro's hand, standing on the deck, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the ship and exclaimed.
"Yes, I think so too, but this is not a dream, it's real, given to us by Lord Nox."
"After we arrive at the Limitless Sea, I will definitely work hard to become stronger, climb up within the Limitless Pirates, and then possess powerful strength, supreme power, and status. Then I can protect you well, Stella, and never be separated from you again!"
Tesoro said firmly.
Under the introduction of the Law Net members, he had become familiar with the common knowledge of the Limitless Pirates and knew that this was a great opportunity.
As long as he was strong enough, he could have everything he wanted in the Limitless Pirates.
Previously, wealth was something that could buy everything in his eyes, but now, strength was the only thing he pursued.
If he had possessed powerful strength before, he could have killed those slave traders and rescued Stella.
If he had powerful strength, he could protect Stella from any harm.
If he had powerful strength, combined with his ability to make money, he could possess vast wealth and allow Stella and himself to live a happy and fulfilling life.
Therefore, powerful strength was his most urgent pursuit now!
"Tesoro, I believe in you, you can do it!"
Stella said softly.
She had always lived in darkness. Tesoro was the first person who treated her so well.
She was a ray of light in Tesoro's heart, but wasn't Tesoro also the warm sun in her dark life?
"Pirate King Roger confirmed before his death that the legendary Great Treasure exists!!"
"Although the Pirate King is dead, the Great Treasure is still there. Whoever finds the Great Treasure will be the next Pirate King!"
"The Great Treasure is on Raftel. As long as you find Raftel, you can gain fame, wealth, and strength in this World, you can have everything!"
"The Pirate King put everything he owned there, waiting for everyone in the World to search for it. Whoever finds it, it belongs to them!"
"..."
The day after the Pirate King's death, countless newspapers were distributed throughout the World. Those who hadn't seen the live broadcast finally knew the words left by Pirate King Roger.
It could be said that from the moment the newspapers spread throughout the World, the entire World began to boil.
Countless ambitious individuals even wantonly spread various rumors, frantically brainwashing those ignorant people, making them go crazy because of the Great Treasure.
However, just as everyone was going crazy over the matter of the Great Treasure, an even more explosive and shocking report appeared, impacting their Worldview.
"Shocking! Holy Land Mary Geoise suffered a bombing attack, and the entire Mary Geoise was directly destroyed!"
"The Celestial Dragons, who are the rulers of the World, were they directly wiped out by the explosion?"
"All World Government officials were killed in the explosion. Is the World Government, which has ruled the World for eight hundred years, about to disappear?"
"The first person in the World to dare to do such an astonishing act: After destroying Holy Land Mary Geoise, they actually managed to escape safely!"
"..."
Many newspapers featured photos of the explosion, as well as photos of Mary Geoise after the explosion, including many photos of the bodies of Celestial Dragons.
In addition, some videos were released.
Seeing such reports shocked people all over the World.
They never expected that Holy Land Mary Geoise, where the World Government ruled, would be attacked, and almost flattened by the explosion.
The terrifying power of the explosion, even just looking at the photos, filled them with horror, not to mention the Celestial Dragons and World Government officials who were caught in the blast.
"Who is it? Who is so brave as to dare to bomb Holy Land Mary Geoise, and more importantly, they succeeded!"
"Were all the Celestial Dragons killed in the explosion? Have they gone extinct?"
"Is the rule of the World Government about to end? Is the era of Pirates really coming?"
"Hahahaha, the Celestial Dragons deserved to die! It's best if they all die out. This World should be ruled by us Pirates!"
"..."
After seeing the reports in the newspapers, people all over the World were eager to know what exactly happened on Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Especially the various Kings, their relationship with the World Government was inseparable. If the World Government collapsed, the first ones to be affected would definitely be the World Government member states!
And those non-World Government member states hoped that the World Government would disappear completely in this explosion, after all, they had no relationship with the World Government and were even threatened by them.
"So the explosion we heard earlier was because of this!"
At Marineford, Sengoku said solemnly, looking at the newspaper in his hand.
He had sent people to Holy Land Mary Geoise to investigate the situation before, but they were blocked by the World Government and not allowed to enter.
Now he saw what happened in Mary Geoise from the newspaper. Without a doubt, there was a big problem here!
"Could it be the explosion caused by World combining Explosive Rock with the More-More Fruit!"
Sengoku quickly thought of World stealing the Marine's Explosive Rock earlier, and he suddenly felt a little scared.
If World used this method on their Marineford, the entire Marineford might be blown away because of it!
Now Sengoku should be glad that World's greatest hatred wasn't the Marine, but the Celestial Dragons, otherwise Marineford might have been gone yesterday.
"Gurararara, this is great, simply great! I wonder which guy is so powerful, they actually did something that even I, Golden Lion, couldn't do!"
Golden Lion burst into hearty laughter after seeing today's newspaper.
Destroying Holy Land Mary Geoise was incredibly exhilarating. His ability allowed him to throw dozens or hundreds of islands to smash into Holy Land Mary Geoise, but he wouldn't do such a thing for temporary satisfaction.
However, seeing someone else do it made him feel extremely exhilarated. This meant that there was another group of allies against the World Government!
"Reinhardt, have you found out who did this?"
Golden Lion asked.
"In this World, the ones capable of doing this and potentially doing this are the Limitless Pirates and World."
Reinhardt analyzed.
"Nox wouldn't do such a brainless thing, so it must be that guy World."
"Under the power amplification of his More-More Fruit, it is indeed possible to cause such a terrifying explosion."
"However, what exactly does he have that can create such a terrifying explosion? Even if this explosion were reduced a hundredfold, we haven't seen anything with that kind of explosive power!"
Golden Lion's eyes were full of desire.
He couldn't get the Ancient Weapon now, but if he could get his hands on something with such powerful explosive force from World, it would be a compensation.
It would be best if he could form an alliance with World, or rather, if World could join the Flying Pirates.
Because it's World's ability combined with this thing that has powerful explosive force that would yield the best results. This power is probably not much worse than the power of an Ancient Weapon!
"Captain, the World Pirates are no longer in their territory. They left yesterday, and we can't find any trace of the World Pirates now."
Reinhardt said.
"We don't need to rush. With something like this happening, the World Government is definitely the most anxious. They will find World immediately. When that happens, we can rescue World and have a chance to win him over."
Golden Lion said.
