Chapter 605: Gulantezoro
Di Tezoro
Gulan Tezoro is a giant ship about ten kilometers long and made entirely of gold.
At the same time, this is also the largest entertainment city in the pirate world. It is not only an independent country and a demilitarized zone recognized by the government, but also an "absolute sanctuary" that even the world government and the navy cannot casually attack.
The reason for such privileges is naturally because Tezoro relied on money to open the way and get in touch with the Celestial Dragons.
Different from what Xie Wen had expected before, Gulan Tezoro cannot be located by the recording pointer and the permanent pointer. This is not because it is the same as Moria's terrifying three-masted sailing ship, which is also transformed from an island outside the Grand Line, but because the main body of the ship has long been completely replaced by Tezoro with gold, and naturally lost the island's own magnetic function.
But as an entertainment city open to the outside world, it is impossible to hide its location, so Tezoro actively spreads life paper pointing to this place. However, Xie Wen had a clear purpose every time he went to the pointer merchant to buy pointers, so he naturally missed this information unconsciously. It was not until he asked Morgans that he learned about this situation.
"Wow! Brother Xie Wen! This ship is made of gold, just like the airship on Sky Island!" After seeing Gulan Tezoro, Klee excitedly pulled Xie Wen's ear and shouted: "And it is much bigger and more beautiful than that ugly airship!"
(==)つ
Compared with Enel, the country bumpkin with no aesthetics, Tezoro's taste is much better.
Although it is also made of gold, Gulan Tezoro is full of a high-end luxury, and it does not look very tacky and low-level like the Ark "Proverbs" that is designed to show the "greatness" of the owner.
As for the size, it goes without saying that although both are "golden cities", Shandora is only a small part of Gaya Island, and the buildings in Shandora are mainly earth and stone structures, with just a layer of gold on the outside.
The gold used in the Ark "Proverbs" is only a part of it, and it also lacks the golden bell with the highest gold content.
Not to mention compared with Gulan Tezoro, whose area is not inferior to the entire Gaya Island, the size of the Ark "Proverbs" is not even as big as the two turtles that Gulan Tezoro uses to pull the boat.
Xie Wen decisively took out the hunter's manual and turned to the page of the large monster illustrations...
"Pfft!"
Seeing that only the maximum size data was updated on it, Xie Wen spat unhappily, and then stuffed the hunter's manual back into his waist bag in a sullen manner.
[Brother Xie Wen, where do we go in directly? 】
(=ΦωΦ=)σ
Duduhao lay on Xie Wen's head and pointed to the entrance at the bow of Gulan Tezoro and asked.
Even though it was daytime, the lights near the entrance and the huge neon sign above were not turned off, making it look very conspicuous.
"Well... just go in."
Xie Wen hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Although he could not remember the details, in Xie Wen's impression, if he went in through the main gate, it seemed that Tezoro would use his ability to do some tricks, but he did not care much.
After all, the strength of the Felyne Investigation Team was there, and no matter how much Tezoro did, he would be killed if a fight really broke out, so Xie Wen had the confidence to go in through the main gate.
Moreover, Xie Wen did not come here to cause trouble this time. His original intention was just to see if there were any famous swords and devil fruits for auction here. If it was not necessary, he was too lazy to conflict with Tezoro.
As for the lucky fruit that seemed to make people leave Europe and enter Africa, Xie Wen didn't have too many obsessions. After all, whether it was good luck or bad luck, they had no shortage of it in their investigation team, and with Touma Meow, the chance of digging out the lucky fruit that could change his luck was too low...
Unless Xie Wen got the Dark Dark Fruit in the future, he would be interested in trying it.
[Dudu! Go forward meow! ]
(=><=)
After receiving Xie Wen's order, Dudu raised his arms and controlled his body to drive towards the entrance of Gulan Tezoro.
As Dudu drove into the entrance, a large amount of gold powder began to fall down from the long passage, which finally reminded Xie Wen of Tezoro's "little trick".
"Everyone... eh?"
Xie Wen, who was about to remind the others and the cats, was suddenly stunned, because in his perception, the gold powder that was supposed to be attached to the visitors and turned into a trap at the critical moment seemed to have consciousness and slid off their bodies. Even the furry cats did not leave a single grain on their bodies...
That is, a few small cats deliberately stretched out their paws to catch a little bit out of curiosity, and Touma Meow inexplicably fell on the ground and was forced to cover himself with gold powder.
What is going on? Because he was worried that we would find something wrong, he took the initiative to remove the trap?
But if that's the case, wouldn't it be better to do nothing? This is a bit too deliberate, and Tezoro couldn't know that Xie Wen had already known his little trick.
"Interesting..."
Xie Wen rubbed his chin and began to be curious about what Tezoro wanted to do.
After exiting the long passage, a huge circular golden pool came into view. There were a large number of spectator seats on both sides of the pool, but there were no people on it at this time. Only a few figures who seemed to be staff were walking and cleaning.
After passing through this golden pool and a shorter passage, there was a fan-shaped port with various ships docked on it...
Ordinary merchant ships, pirate ships and warships, everything is available.
However, similar to the Sabaody Archipelago, these ships are all at peace here. Xie Wen not only saw a navy with the rank of colonel and a pirate arm in arm, but also those who recognized the Toot Toot, whether pirates or navy, were only slightly surprised, and generally looked unhurried...
It really is the "Absolute Sanctuary"?
Xie Wen pulled the corner of his mouth, and really couldn't understand how Tezoro got such an exaggerated privilege just by pleasing the Celestial Dragons...
It can only be said that the pirate world is much more of a makeshift team than the Earth.
After finding an empty port to dock, before Xie Wen and his crew all got off the ship, a beautiful woman in a black evening gown, with long red hair and an explosive figure, had already arrived at the port where the Dudu was docked.
"Welcome to Gulan Tezoro, Lord Canglanxing." The red-haired beauty bowed respectfully to Xie Wen, making the cleavage on her chest look deeper, "My name is Bakara, and I am the VIP exclusive reception here."
After making a simple self-introduction, Bakara said, "The owner of this ship and the king of Gulan Tezoro, Lord Tezoro specially sent me to greet you. He is already waiting for you on the top floor of the Golden King Hotel."
Then, she raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and two convertible cars that looked very much like Rolls-Royce immediately drove over from a distance and stopped in front of Xie Wen and his crew. One of them was a particularly large model, obviously prepared specifically for Shirahoshi.
To be honest, it was the first time that Xie Wen saw cars, which are very common on Earth, in the world of pirates. After all, this is a world dominated by the ocean, and the means of transportation on land are either very backward or have the characteristics of each island...
For example, the Runaway Duck of the Kingdom of Alabasta and the Bubble Car of the Sabaody Archipelago.
However, unlike the cars on Earth, the engines of these two cars are located in a group of turtles that are only the size of a palm.
In other words, the cars in front of them are not real cars, but turtle-powered cars...
Xie Wen, who was curious about what Tezoro wanted to do, did not refuse Bakara's invitation and took everyone to ride on these two turtle cars that she called turtle-slips...er...turtle cars.
