Tesoro frowned slightly and raised his hand to take the newspaper handed over by Baccarat.
He flipped it open and saw a young, handsome man with a momentum that was hard to describe in words.
It was Gawain who appeared in Water 7.
However, looking at the face in the newspaper, Tesoro's eyes were filled with unspeakable contempt.
"Under such a situation, there is actually a Warlord who would respond to the call of the World Government and become the thug of the World Government at the cost of his life."
Not only had he seen the movie based on Gawain, but he was also one of the financiers behind the film company.
Even the normal filming and release of the movie were due to Tesoro's promotion behind the scenes.
It was because he saw his own shadow in Gawain in the story.
A powerless man, forced by power, lost his beloved; this experience almost completely overlaps with Tesoro's past as a slave.
He thought Gawain should be the one who could understand his existence the most, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"Even after such a past, even if that woman gave her life to let this guy live, what she got in the end was..."
"Another loyal dog of the World Government?!"
"He forgot his lover, but I won't!"
Baccarat opened her mouth and looked at Tesoro in front of her, thinking of the countless treasures that Tesoro had sent to Mary Geoise over the years.
What is the difference between you and him…?
Baccarat didn't say these words after all.
She is just a pirate, and now under Tesoro's command, she is only pursuing treasures, so naturally, she will not offend her sponsor for this.
"Boss, then should we stop our plan to seize the Martial Arts Tournament project or..."
"No!"
Snap!
Tesoro closed the newspaper in his hand.
After taking a deep breath, he regained his calm demeanor.
Although Tesoro's dream was to pursue music and become a world-renowned superstar, people's talents are often not in the direction they expect.
What he is really good at is business.
Therefore, even though he was extremely angry at the moment, he calmed down when he saw the real benefits.
With money, he can buy everything!
There must be no second experience like losing Stella!
"Change strategy!"
"It is impossible to give up the plan of completely controlling the Martial Arts Tournament, and Lionheart White Knight Gawain will not let it go easily."
"We would choose to inject capital and use the Martial Arts Tournament as a platform to squeeze the gambling profits around the world."
"Understood, boss."
Baccarat put one hand on her chest and gave a salute to Tesoro.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard Tesoro's voice: "By the way, don't release that movie."
Baccarat was stunned and a little confused.
"The movie that is adapted from the story of Lionheart White Knight Gawain."
"Got it!"
… … …
At Water 7, the glacier spreads endlessly to the end of sight.
The survivors of Water 7 are moving forward with difficulty in the direction of the end of the glacier.
Whoosh!
A News Coo flew across the sky, dropping a newspaper and taking a few banknotes from Gawain, then flapping its wings again to fly to the next target.
"Lionheart White Knight..."
Gawain looked at the title posted on the front page of the newspaper, and after roughly glancing at the content of the report, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The report said that the admirals of the Marines teamed up to kill Golden Lion."
"But whether it's the altered title or the deliberate display of the sword wound on Golden Lion's chest in the photo, it's hinting that it wasn't the admirals who killed Golden Lion, but me."
"Morgans, this guy, is not willing to become a tool of the World Government."
"You dare not resist directly, so you can only choose this way?"
"Heh."
After a chuckle, Gawain lost interest in the content of the report and handed it to Fujitora beside him.
"Uh..."
Fujitora was stunned for a moment, raised his hand, and stopped in mid-air.
He neither accepts nor refuses it.
No.
You give this thing to a blind person, isn't it more or less impolite?!
"Give it to me."
Kuro glanced at Gawain unhappily, took the newspaper, and barely eased Fujitora's embarrassment.
He changed the subject and said: "Speaking of which, it is really unexpected that someone like Akainu would make such a decision."
"After all, when his best friend fell in front of him, anyone would be touched, even T Bone..."
Gawain did not continue.
He suddenly remembered that T Bone's original ending was to die in the hands of the civilians he had been protecting a few years later.
Compared to this, dying in Water 7 now would be much more heroic.
At least he would not experience such grief, and would not be shaken in the justice he had always believed in.
However, with T Bone's temperament, even if he knew that those people had malice towards him, he would probably not be shaken at all.
Gawain rarely feels respect for others, especially in this soon-to-be-collapsing world, but T Bone was an exception.
He was really too pure.
This was a man who truly engraved the knight's creed into his bones, even though he had now given up his identity as a knight.
"He is a true knight, a man with great will."
Fujitora's tone was filled with indescribable respect and regret: "It was my fault that I failed to arrive at the Water 7 earlier and failed to save that man's life."
"It's not your fault."
Gawain shook his head and didn't speak again.
A few days ago, after leaving Water 7, Gawain's original plan was to find the Raven, make his way into the New World, and find a place to settle in Britannia.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
A storm completely destroyed the Raven's power system, and even the keel was broken.
Lucci didn't even conduct a detailed inspection, just a rough look, and sentenced the ship to death. There was no possibility of repair at all; it had reached its limit.
And with the current conditions, it was not realistic to tow it away.
Gawain simply burned the Raven with fire, and left with his men, ready to go to the nearest harbor and find a way.
At this time, Fujitora invited Gawain to escort the civilians to the next harbor with him, and Gawain agreed without thinking.
This is how the current situation came about.
However, the biggest problem facing Gawain at the moment is the problem of the pirate ship.
The New World is undoubtedly the most dangerous sea in the world.
This danger comes not only from the powerful people who gather here and rule the country, but also from the various extreme and completely unscientific weather in the New World.
Ordinary ships cannot sail normally in such seas, and even the original Raven may not be able to continue.
"It's really troublesome..."
"But."
"It's a blessing in disguise."
"Most of the shipwrights in Water 7 have survived, and we can ask them to build a pirate ship that can sail in the New World."
"As for funds, Raven Harbor has enough."
Thinking of this, Gawain had an idea of the arrangements for the future, so he focused on the system panel.
During this period, everyone was basically fighting in Water 7, and there was little time for training, so other aspects did not grow much; only the Conqueror's Haki increased significantly.
