Chapter 992: Destroying Consciousness

"Hahaha, Captain Kuro, welcome, welcome!" When Tesoro saw Kuro, a bright smile instantly broke out on his face. He happily walked forward, wanting to express his warm welcome to the pirate captain.

However, just as he was about to approach Kuro, a sudden figure stood between them.

Ah Er, who usually seems to be a simple and honest guy, seems like a different person at this moment.

It was like a small mountain standing in front of Kuro, blocking Tesoro. His bodyguard attribute instantly maxed out, and he stared at Tesoro with ferocious eyes, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

"Who are you?" Ah Er's voice was deep and powerful, full of threats. His action made Tezulo look stunned for a moment. This was his territory, and he never expected that this seemingly insignificant guy would dare to stop him.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Tesoro's face, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew the strength of the Kuro Pirates, and knew that he couldn't easily make enemies at this critical moment. So, he smiled and said to Aji, "I am Tesoro, the lord of the Golden City, and I have come to greet Captain Kuro."

A-er heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he did not immediately move aside. He turned his head to look at Kuro, as if waiting for his instructions. Kuro smiled faintly and said to A-er: "A-er, don't be rude. Lord Tezoro is our friend, please move aside."

Upon hearing this, although Ah Er was still unwilling, he still obediently gave way.

Seeing this, Tezulo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled again and walked towards Kuro, ready to start their formal meeting.

"Sorry, sorry. My Er has never seen such a big world and was a little nervous for a moment. I hope Lord Tesoro will forgive me." Kuro explained hypocritically, but there was no apology on his face. Instead, he had a playful smile.

Upon hearing this, Tesoro smiled hypocritically and said, "Hahaha, it's okay, I was too impulsive just now. There's nothing I can do. Seeing the strong man I've longed for, my heart will always be excited!" He seemed to be smiling on the surface, but he was already burning with anger in his heart. He was extremely dissatisfied with the rudeness of Er and Kuro.

Kuro was still smiling at first, but suddenly, a golden light flashed in his eyes and his smile became even brighter!

He seemed to see through Tezoro's heart and laughed in his heart: "Hahaha, good, good, this bastard actually wants to kill me in his heart, then I won't have any psychological burden to kill you later!"

Kuro's eyes became sharp and the murderous intent in his heart grew stronger, but he still maintained a bright smile on his face, as if everything was under control.

He said slowly: "I have always been curious about your Golden City. I admire you for creating such a huge family business out of thin air. However, it seems that your family business is not stable now."

Upon hearing this, Tezulo's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Captain Kuro, you are joking. Although my Golden City is not big, it is stable. Moreover, I believe that cooperation between us will bring greater prosperity."

Kuro nodded and said, "Very good. I also look forward to our cooperation. However, Lord Tezulo, I hope you can understand that in this world, strength is everything. Although your Golden City is great, if you don't have enough strength to protect it, then it is just an empty city."

After hearing this, Tezulo became more alert, because he knew that Kuro was not an easy person to deal with.

But he also understood that he could not show weakness at this time, otherwise it would only make Kuro more arrogant.

So, he smiled and nodded, saying, "Captain Kuro is right, strength is everything. I also believe that our cooperation will bring greater strength."

"Of course. Between us, you pay and I do the work, and everyone is happy." Kuro responded to Tesoro with a smile, seeming very satisfied with such a deal.

Tezulo smiled upon hearing this and said, "Captain Kuro, you hit the nail on the head. Others don't have such terrifying strength as you. Even if they take the initiative to find me, I won't even look at them. We get along so well today, I can consider long-term cooperation with you."

Kuro was moved when he heard this: "Our cooperation really needs to continue. I found out today that the gate of your Golden City is not well guarded enough."

"How about hiring our pirate group's executives? The price is absolutely reasonable, and I guarantee that your Golden City will be impregnable."

Tezulo was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still nodded with a relaxed smile and said, "This is a good suggestion. I will consider it."

Kuro laughed when he heard that. He patted Tesoro on the shoulder and said, "Okay, then it's settled. From now on, your Golden City will be our backing, and our pirate group will be your umbrella. Let's create a storm in this world together!"

Tesoro smiled and nodded. Although he felt a little uneasy, he knew that the only way for him at the moment was to tie himself up with Kuro, a powerful pirate group.

The war between the World Government and the Revolutionary Army has affected his business. No matter which side he chooses to please, it may cause strong dissatisfaction from the other side.

Instead of trying to survive in the cracks, it is better to find new and powerful helpers to ensure your own safety and interests.

At the same time, Tezoro had something more important on his mind.

He never forgot his hatred for the Celestial Dragons.

The last Hunting Island incident gave him hope for revenge. Although it was only a brief moment, it was enough to ignite the anger deep in his heart.

He has been looking for an opportunity to find the power to fight against the Celestial Dragons.

And now, the emergence of the Kuro Pirates may be the key to his realization of this wish.

The power of the Celestial Dragons is huge, and it is not easy to take revenge.

He plans to secretly cooperate with the Kuro Pirates and use their power to fight against the Celestial Dragons.

Of course, this requires caution and not revealing one's intentions easily.

After all, the world government has eyes and ears all over the world, and if they are discovered by the agents, the consequences will be disastrous.

But regardless, Tezulo had made up his mind.

He wants to use this opportunity of cooperation with the Kuro Pirates to pave the way for his revenge plan.

He believed that as long as he had the chance, he would make that Celestial Dragon pay the price.
