"Do you know Donquixote Doflamingo? Why did he break out in cold sweats and not want to stay there even for a moment after seeing Minazuki?"
Rosen glanced at Gild Tesoro and saw the determination on the Golden Emperor's face. He did not answer him directly, but asked a question.
"Has he been treated?"
Only then did Gild Tesoro notice that Donquixote Doflamingo had left at some point.
"In Donquixote's base camp, I crushed all his bones with Susanoo, and then healed him with Minazuki."
"Donquixote Doflamingo went through this experience over and over again for half a month."
Rosen recounted his experience of taming Donquixote Doflamingo.
Gollum…
Gild Tesoro felt as if he were there and could not help swallowing hard. His face, neck, and back were already wet with cold sweat.
"Do you know why I didn't treat you the same way I treated Donquixote Doflamingo? Instead, I chose to let you watch the Black Winged Demon's Resurrección: Segunda Etapa?"
Rosen asked himself, as if he didn't notice that Gild Tesoro was sweating profusely.
"Why?"
Upon hearing this, Gild Tesoro forced himself to calm down and stop thinking about Minazuki.
"You and Donquixote Doflamingo are both wanted by the World Government."
"As a pirate, this is an indisputable fact."
"But he's a scumbag, and you're not, at least not now."
Rosen looked into Gild Tesoro's eyes:
"Both wanted criminals and pirates."
"I agree with the Navy Headquarters' wanted order for Donquixote Doflamingo, but as for you, I do not agree with the World Government's classification of you as a criminal at this point."
"If I truly believe from the bottom of my heart that you are a criminal and a pirate, then what is the difference between me and those Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise?"
His words shocked Gild Tesoro so much that he was dumbfounded.
"you."
"call!"
"Admiral, are you really a navy?"
Gild Tesoro took a few deep breaths and came back to his senses from the extreme shock, then asked Rosen with a little disbelief.
"I am a marine, but only a marine."
Rosen spoke word by word.
"Just the Marine?"
After hearing this, Gild Tesoro couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
He understood what Rosen meant.
It's the navy, but only the navy.
Not the World Government's navy.
Although it was unbelievable, after thinking about Rosen's strength, he felt that it was not impossible to do such a thing.
"You chose the Gol-Gol Fruit because you didn't want to experience a second tragedy, or sacrifice, due to lack of money."
"From a gambler, he turned over a new leaf, determined to be a good person. He toiled from morning till night, forgetting to eat or sleep, just to redeem a woman's freedom. But just when he was about to succeed, he was bought by the Celestial Dragons, and even had the hoof of the Celestial Dragon, the symbol of slavery, engraved on him."
"So, after you escaped from Mary Geoise, you chose to pursue money at all costs."
Rosen's words seemed to carry a strange power, washing over Gild Tesoro's heart and bringing him back to that afternoon many years ago that had caused him unbearable pain.
That day, he collected enough money to redeem Stella, but everything was destroyed by the Celestial Dragons.
Even.
Even though she was about to go to hell, Stella still comforted him with tears in her eyes.
That scene will never be forgotten.
"That's right. The Celestial Dragons can buy anything because they are rich. I lost Stella because I had no money."
"From the moment I learned of Stella's death, I swore in my heart that as long as I was still alive in this world, I would pursue money at all costs."
"I want to be the richest man in the world. I want to trample all the nobles and wealthy people under my feet."
"Including the Celestial Dragon who took Stella away."
Gild Tesoro clenched his fists and became extremely crazy:
"Only in this way can no one take away anything that belongs to me."
His eyes were red and he shed two lines of tears unconsciously.
"If you think so, you are totally wrong."
"Money can't let you do this kind of thing."
"At least, in this world, no matter how much money you have, one day you will lose it all again."
Rosen looked at the weeping Gild Tesoro and imagined the future of the Golden Emperor.
Even though the Golden Emperor had the wealth of the world and owned 20% of the world's berries, he still ended up losing everything again.
"impossible!"
"If I had money back then, lots and lots of it, I would be richer than the Celestial Dragons."
"Then he won't be able to buy Stella."
Gild Tesoro was extremely emotional.
"What if the Celestial Dragons order the navy to dispatch?"
"Although the Celestial Dragons cannot directly command the Admirals, they can order the ordinary Marines around at will.
"Besides that, there's also Cipher POL. The Celestial Dragons can choose to use money to buy everything, or they can use power to take everything away."
"By then, will your money still allow you to redeem Stella as you wish?"
Every word Rosen said was like a heavy hammer, wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, hitting Gild Tesoro's heart again and again, making him feel the pain of despair.
"It, won't."
Gild Tesoro shook his head repeatedly.
"If you don't want to lose, you must have power."
With just a few words, Rosen tore through Gild Tesoro's psychological defenses and then reshaped his thoughts, consciousness and values.
"strength?"
"right!"
"It is power, but the power of gold cannot allow me to do this. I need a stronger power."
When Gild Tesoro heard this, he immediately thought of Rosen's power to split his golden giant and cut through the earth with just a wave of his hand.
If he possessed this kind of power, the Celestial Dragons would not be able to take Stella away no matter how much money or power they used.
The more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
"You said you were seeking greater power."
"If it is your ideal, I can grant you this power."
Rosen's words made Gild Tesoro's breathing quicken and his eyes turn red.
"Obey me."
"If you do this, I will grant you greater power and a brand new world."
Hearing this, Gild Tesoro's legs softened, his knees slowly sank, and he finally knelt in front of Rosen.
Throughout the entire process, Rosen did not put a collar on Gild Tesoro like he did to Donquixote Doflamingo, but he offered him even more loyalty than Donquixote Doflamingo.
"I am willing to obey you."
"Admiral."
"As long as you give me stronger power..."
Gild Tesoro finished speaking and slowly lowered his head.
"As you wish."
Upon hearing this, Rosen reached out and placed his hand on Gild Tesoro's head, his eyes flashing red, and his Observation Haki spread out.
His consciousness directly enveloped Gild Tesoro.
In an instant.
A large amount of information entered Gild Tesoro's mind through the transmission of consciousness via his Observation Haki.
