"How on earth did you manage to let Bakara be kidnapped at the port?"
On the top floor of the world's No. 1 Gold Hotel, in a gorgeously decorated living room, the tall and burly Tesoro sat on a red sofa, looking at the Den Den Mushi in his hands, which was sweating profusely and imitating the expressions of his subordinates, and said gloomily, "Tell me, who did it?"
"Master Tesoro, it's… it's the 'strongest newcomer in history' Dewey. We found him through the Den Den Mushi monitoring and told Master Bakara."
The person on the other side of the Den Den Mushi said in a trembling voice, "Lord Bakara thought the other party was a VIP guest, so he went to receive him personally. He didn't expect that the other party would take the opportunity to kidnap Lord Bakara! Yes, that's right… Lord Tesoro, we found two Den Den Mushi at the place where Lord Bakara was kidnapped. One is the Den Den Mushi that Lord Bakara used to contact us, and the other seems to be left by the other party."
"Bring that Den Den Mushi here right now!"
Tezulo hung up the phone and sneered, "Interesting, are you trying to blackmail me, or are you after my treasure?"
There is a rumor on the sea that 20% of the Pele in circulation around the world is buried in the world's largest entertainment city. People call this treasure the "Treasure of Tezoro."
This treasure really exists and has attracted countless thieves and thieves over the years, but no one has succeeded so far and has not even had the chance to see the treasure. Therefore, the "Treasure of Tezoro" is regarded as the supreme honor by all thieves.
Whoever can steal this treasure will be the "world's number one thief."
Dewey was rated as "the world's number one bounty hunter" by some gossip magazines, a profession not much different from a thief. It was normal for Tesoro to suspect that Dewey came for his treasure when his confidant was suddenly kidnapped.
"Master Tesoro, this is a Den Den Mushi left behind by the other party."
His men didn't keep Tesoro waiting for long. Soon a dwarf in a guard uniform popped up from the floor and handed the Den Den Mushi to Tesoro.
This is a parent-child type of Den Den Mushi that can only dial the other end of the phone.
Picking up the phone, Tezulo dialed the number on the other end.
"Bulu Bulu, Bulu Bulu… snap!"
"Mexi, mexi, I'm Dewey."
Dewey on the other end did not keep Tesoro waiting for long. Den Den Mushi imitated his smiling expression and greeted Tesoro: "Golden Emperor, I have heard of your great name for a long time."
"Boy, tell me your purpose."
Tezulo said without any nonsense, "If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, you will be hunted down by countless desperate criminals in the dark world!"
"Hehe, don't be so grumpy."
Den Den Mushi still smiled, not frightened by Tesoro's words, and said: "I took Bakara away for her ability. I need her luck to help me find something. Of course, I don't mean to offend you. Just think of it as lending Bakara to me. Regardless of whether I can find her or not, I will definitely return her to you in half a year."
"Boy, are you provoking me?"
Veins popped out on Tezulo's forehead, and he laughed angrily, "If that's the case, then you succeeded. Wait until you see your bounty in the dark world tomorrow!"
"Mariejoa, the fire that year." Den Den Mushi suddenly said.
"What?!"
Tezulo was slightly stunned, then stood up with a look of shock, staring at the Den Den Mushi with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this? No matter where you got it from, if you want to use this to threaten me, you are too naive."
"No, I'm not threatening you."
Den Den Mushi shook his head and smiled: "I just want to tell you that you owe my elder a favor."
"What's the meaning?"
Tezulo raised his eyebrows, not understanding why.
"You didn't think that the big fire back then was something that only a fish-man could have done, did you?" Den Den Mushi said meaningfully.
Tezulo's face was uncertain, and he asked, "Who is your elder?"
"Pluto Rayleigh."
Den Den Mushi uttered these words and said, "In short, I have no intention of going against you. I will not hurt Bakara. I am just borrowing her abilities temporarily. After half a year, I promise to send her back safely."
After saying this, Den Den Mushi's expression became dull, and then it drooped its head and fell asleep.
In the quiet living room, the only ones left were the frightened Tesoro and Mr. Tanaka, who did not know how powerful he was.
————
On the other end, Dewey put down the Den Den Mushi, looked at Bakara in front of him, and smiled: "Ms. Bakara, after listening to our conversation, what is your choice?"
"…I'll excuse me for interrupting you for now."
Bakara, who had become a prisoner, smiled helplessly.
"In that case, please give me your guidance for the next six months."
Seeing that she was so sensible, Dewey nodded with satisfaction and instructed Kalina, "Kalina, go get the materials and help Miss Bakara create a life card."
"Hey, hey… I've already agreed to stay, there's no need to do this, right?" Bakara's face changed slightly and he said quickly.
The life card is a very useful thing. When people from the New World go out to sea, they usually make a life card, then tear it up and give it to their relatives or close friends so that they can know whether they are alive or dead.
Generally, trustworthy companions will create life cards.
However, not everyone is willing to make their own life card, let alone tear off a corner and give it to another person.
The paper torn off the life card will, like the eternal pointer, always point in the direction of its owner.
Unless the owner of the Life Card dies, the person who possesses a corner of his Life Card will always know his location and will be able to find him no matter where he is.
Apart from the captain, few people would make their own life cards and give them to their boss, and Bakara is no exception.
And now, Dewey is going to make her life card.
If he got his life card, it would mean that Bakara would never be able to escape again.
In other words, there is no point in running away.
Do I really have to work hard for him for half a year?
Seeing Dewey unmoved and Kalina walking into the cabin, Bakara, who had some thoughts in mind, suddenly felt like crying but had no tears.
Sensing her emotional change, Dewey nodded secretly in his heart.
It seems that I have successfully stabilized her.
Yes, Dewey deliberately left the Den Den Mushi behind just to scare Tesoro. Dewey, who had undergone a huge transformation a while ago, was not afraid of Tesoro's revenge.
Of course, it would be best if he could scare him. Even if Tesoro did not agree to lend Bakara to him, it would be okay to retaliate. Even if an enemy at the level of the Seven Warlords of the Sea came to him, Dewey would not be afraid.
The main purpose of his phone call was to calm Bakara down and let her feel at ease to stay and help Dewey.
Otherwise, if a lucky person keeps thinking about escaping from here, God knows what terrible things will happen.
