Chapter 790: Hold it in hand

...

"boom!"

Recalling the glorious past, Jiazhi suddenly punched the fence hard.

"Everything I did was to restore the glory of Germa! It was all to make the former overlord of the North Sea powerful again! I am not wrong! I can't be wrong!"

"The reason why it has become like this is all because of that damn Golden City! That's right! It's all because of that damn Golden Emperor Tezoro!"

Ever since the first contact between the two sides ten years ago, that bastard had forced his way into the company without bringing any capital, and even used his powerful military force and astonishing financial resources to coerce and induce Germa 66 in order to seize their territory.

Be it the absolutely loyal and fearless clone soldiers or the advanced combat uniforms, they were all the scientific and technological achievements that he had spent his entire life on. This bastard wanted to get them all for free, and he was too lazy to even hide his ambition to completely annex Germa 66!

If it weren’t for my proper compromise!

Repeated forbearance!

Try your best to deal with it!

Struggling to support!

And when pushed to the limit, he would rather die than live in disgrace! This made the other party fearful, otherwise Germa 66 might have ceased to exist long ago.

However, the current status quo cannot be maintained for long.

Gilde Tezuolo, who was born as a poor laborer in Shampoo and became the famous Golden Emperor! This guy is obviously not an easy opponent to fool. He is like a smart and cunning wolf that can never be fed. The prey he targets can only be eaten bite by bite, and finally end up with nothing left.

During the past ten years, the production capacity of Germa 66's clone system was almost stretched to its limit. Thousands of clone soldiers had to be delivered to the Golden City every year to barely satisfy Tesoro's appetite. However, this also resulted in Germa 66 itself not being able to receive any reinforcements and launching wars. The Vinsmoke family's plan to return to the throne of the North Sea became a distant prospect.

Not only that, now that the ten-year period has arrived, according to the original agreement, Germa 66 must completely submit to the Golden City and hand over all of its most advanced combat uniforms and other technologies.

There is nothing wrong with pretending to surrender, but this combat suit is the foundation of Germa 66. If even this technology is given to the other party, the gap in strength between the two sides will be further widened, and Germa 66 will no longer have any chance of a reversal!

If they go back on their word, it will be a complete break and all-out war! Judging from the current situation, Germa 66 has no chance of winning.

"hateful!"

"Crack! Click!"

Thinking about the serious problem in his mind, Jiazhi subconsciously increased the strength of his grip, and the innocent railing made a crisp sound and shattered in an instant.

"Humph!"

"Don't think you've won yet! Tezulo! I will never give up easily!"

Jiazhi snorted coldly, and when he thought about the back-up plan he had secretly prepared while enduring humiliation for so many years, his ugly face suddenly became more confident.

...

...

Golden city

Inside a magnificent and extremely luxurious office.

"Please, Captain!"

"Crack! Click!"

Captain Gel* was lying on the sofa with his feet propped up on the pure gold desk, watching the game seriously while absentmindedly cutting his nails.

Across the table stood the big boss of the Golden City, who was more famous than the Five Emperors and was rumored to be able to shake the world with just a stomp of his feet. He was the king of one of the only two privileged member states of the World Government, the Golden Emperor: Gild Tesoro!

"No, I refuse! I'm here on vacation, not to work!"

"Haha, Captain Gur, you are the real boss of Golden City. How can working for yourself be considered working for someone else?"

Tezulo continued his rhetoric.

"Don't talk nonsense. You can't PUA me. Let this captain take the blame for you, and then you can run away and have fun. How can you think of such a good thing? You have changed, Tezoro."

Ger said with a smile.

"Hehehe!"

Tezulo also grinned.

"Men are also fickle animals, and they need to learn to grow. These are all your teachings, Captain."

"Rude guy!"

"Didn't you hear that Lord Gel has clearly rejected your request? Don't blame me for being rude if you keep nagging me!"

Boya Hancock, who was standing next to Gel, began to scold.

She had gone through great pains and some shady operations to get this precious opportunity from Yamato to be Captain Gol's personal bodyguard, so she had to perform well.

"Lord Gel, please allow me to turn this rude fellow into a speechless stone!"

Seeing that Hancock was about to make a move, Gel hurriedly raised his hand to stop this crazy woman.

"Stay still, are you teaching me how to do things again?"

"Ah, no, Lord Gel, that's not what I meant."

"Alright, don't speak ill of my companions in front of me anymore."

Geer just felt that it would be a pity not to say this line in this situation.

"Ah yes, I understand."

Hancock nodded and retreated obediently to Gol's side.

"Where are you going in such a hurry? Tezulo."

Ger turned his head and asked curiously.

"Um...it's been a few months since Fosda and his crew went out to sea, and that brat didn't even call home or write a letter, making his mother worry all day long. I'll beat him to death when he comes back!"

When it comes to his children, Tesoro is just an ordinary old father. He always says harsh words about beating and scolding, but he still can't hide his fatherly love.

"Well... I heard that they were about to enter the Grand Line, so Stella wanted to go over to visit them, and she insisted on taking me along..."

"But don't worry, Captain. We will just watch secretly and won't interfere with their own adventure."

"That doesn't matter. With just a few people on their boat, they don't need any help from others."

"Yes, yes, that's what I said. Tell her to worry less. Her son is already so old. What kind of trouble can they get into? They will only become a problem for others."

As Tesoro spoke, he took out two cigars from the chest pocket of his suit, and he and Captain Gel each lit one and started puffing away.

“But Stella just wouldn’t listen and insisted on going to see it. Alas! Women, there’s nothing you can do.”

Perhaps feeling that he was being a little too pretentious, Tezulo scratched his head awkwardly and quickly made an excuse for himself.

"Okay, okay, if you miss your son, just go and see him. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

"No! I don't want to see that brat!"

Tezulo continued to be stubborn.

"I'm mainly worried about Stella, so I think it's better for me to go with her personally. Captain, you know that the ability of the Childlike Fruit cannot have any accidents..."

"Okay, okay, I get it."

Gel waved his hand casually.

I feel a little helpless. Compared to the mainstream practice of most parents in this world who give birth to children but do not raise them, parents who normally care about their children have become non-mainstream.

"Hehe, Captain, do you agree?"

"Go ahead, go ahead. Now that things have come to this, I can't stop a father from wanting to smother his son's heart."

Ger said with a smile.

"Then I'll leave the Golden City in your hands, Captain."

Tezoro immediately smiled.

"Uh-huh."

"But what exactly do you need me to do? There's no way anyone would be stupid enough to come here and cause trouble, right?"

Gel turned his chair and admired the brightly lit, bustling and prosperous future city below through the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind him.

"This Golden City won't stop functioning just because you're away for a few days, right? If that's the case, then your management is really inadequate. Well, speaking of management, I'm qualified to talk to you about it. To be honest, when I was the head of the dormitory, I managed the entire dormitory in perfect order... I can manage a city with a population of one million... blah blah..."

After patiently listening to Captain Gel's bragging, Tezoro smiled and said.

"Don't worry, Captain. Even if I'm not here, Golden City can still operate normally. It just so happens that a long-term supplier from the North Sea is coming to hold a meeting these two days to discuss further deepening the cooperation between the two sides. You just need to help me deal with it first."

"Oh, supplier, huh? Fine, I'll take care of it, but don't blame me if it goes wrong."

Geer flicked the ash off his cigarette and said casually.

Tezulo blew out smoke rings with a wicked smile.

"Haha, it's okay. That guy has never been very honest. He probably has a lot of little tricks up his sleeve. It's just right for you, the captain, to make him see the reality!"
