One Piece: I'm Destined to Be the Son-in-Law King!-Chapter 194: Kaido’s Son-in-Law?

In the heart of the New World's ocean, a colossal ship, stretching ten kilometers long, moved with a stately grace. Two massive Island Turtles towed it, their ancient shells gleaming in the sunlight. More than just a ship, this was Gran Tesoro, a mobile city afloat on the waves.

Around it, dozens of smaller ships gathered, drawn to its magnificence.

"Incredible!" one of the officers exclaimed, his voice filled with awe.

They stood on the deck of their own warship, their eyes fixed on the immense vessel ahead. Reports had prepared them, but seeing Gran Tesoro in person was a staggering experience.

Their own ship seemed insignificant beside it.

"Hey, does anyone have any spare cash?" one officer asked, a hopeful glint in his eye.

"Nope," another replied with a sigh.

"Don't even look at me!"

"Hina's almost broke," a woman added, shaking her head.

The officers huddled together, quietly calculating their meager savings. They barely had enough to cover their daily needs, let alone the extravagant spending that Gran Tesoro was famous for.

Gran Tesoro was home to glittering casinos, thrilling entertainment, top-tier stores, and fancy restaurants. It was like a Sabaody Archipelago that could sail the seas, and it was even more luxurious.

Simply put, if you had money to burn, Gran Tesoro was paradise. Every pleasure imaginable could be found there.

Even Roya felt a pinch in his wallet.

"Lu Yun, how much money do I have left?" he asked, a hint of concern in his voice.

"Less than ten million Belly!" came the reply.

"That's nothing!"

Ten million Belly sounded like a lot, but in Gran Tesoro, it probably wouldn't even make a ripple.

Roya wasn't one to hoard his money. His salary and bonuses usually went straight to his crew's well-being.

Without rewards, why would anyone follow me?

"Keep two million for me, and split the rest between Smoker and the others," he instructed.

"Let's head in!"

Their warship entered Gran Tesoro, directed to a special dock for large ships by the welcoming staff.

"Is all of this real gold?!" Barto gasped, his eyes wide with wonder.

He gazed at the luxurious port, feeling as though he'd stepped into a world made entirely of gold. Even the trash cans lining the streets were gilded.

I want to take one home! he thought.

"Alright, alright, calm down, everyone!" Roya said, shaking his head with a smile.

He led Yamato and his adjutant toward the town beyond the port.

It was still daylight, and the best entertainment in Gran Tesoro wouldn't start for a few more hours, so they decided to explore.

"Roya! Look at that!" Yamato exclaimed, pointing to a roasted meat shop nearby.

Behind the glass, layers of juicy meat dripped with oil under the warmth of the charcoal fire, making her mouth water.

Turkish roasted meat, huh? Roya thought.

He smiled wryly.

The variety of food in this world was actually quite similar to Earth's. The biggest difference was the ingredients were more diverse and abundant.

"Let's go in. Eat as much as you want!" he declared.

Two million Belly should be enough to cover food and drinks, right?

First, let's fill up Yamato!

----

Deep within Gran Tesoro was the Hotel Gold-Tesoro.

This was the only eight-star luxury hotel in the world, and it was where the Golden Emperor, Gild Tesoro, lived.

The lobby on the first floor was home to the world's largest casino, with every game imaginable.

And that wasn't all. There was every kind of entertainment you could imagine.

Inside an incredibly lavish cabaret, Caesar sat with his arms around singing girls, his face beaming with joy amidst their cheerful chatter.

"Shurorororo, this is paradise!" he exclaimed.

He never thought his life could take such a wonderful turn after losing Joker. If he had known how great Gran Tesoro was, he would have come to Tesoro long ago.

Monet sat across from him, barely touching her wine. Her eyes were fixed on a surveillance screen showing Roya. Her fingertips dug into her skin.

Black Hair is here!

As soon as the warship entered Gran Tesoro, the surveillance Den Den Mushi scattered across the island quickly locked onto Roya.

"This guy is that Black Hair?" Tesoro asked, watching Roya on the screen with interest.

Black Hair had become the most talked-about Marine in the past two years, always making headlines. It was hard not to notice him.

Plus, he had partnered with Doflamingo five years ago. With Doflamingo gone, Monet and Caesar relying on him was a gift.

Especially with their ties to the Beasts Pirates.

The profit from selling weapons was considerable, and it would strengthen their relationship with the World Government.

And the only condition for them to rely on him was to kill Black Hair!

There was no reason to refuse.

To make it happen, he had arranged for pirates to carry an invitation near the G-14 Branch, hoping to lure Black Hair into a trap.

The plan had worked perfectly.

"Interesting!" Tesoro said with a smile.

A Marine Vice Admiral disappearing in Gran Tesoro wouldn't affect him. His wealth and influence were enough to handle it.

The World Government would help him cover it up.

After all, he paid a lot in taxes!

But there was no need to rush. Many guests hadn't arrived yet. The most exciting performance had to wait until the audience was at its biggest.

"Hey ho!"

Suddenly, a big head doll burst through the wall and entered the lobby, approaching Tesoro respectfully.

"Lord Tesoro!"

"Tanaka, what is it?" Tesoro asked, looking at the doll.

The doll was Tanaka, a trusted subordinate who had the power of the Permeation Fruit, which allowed him to pass through anything.

Many of Gran Tesoro's secrets required Tanaka's ability to reach.

"The Beasts Pirates are here!" Tanaka announced.

"They're finally here!" Tesoro exclaimed, standing up quickly.

He was confident in his own abilities and didn't want to depend on Kaido like Doflamingo had.

What he wanted from the Beasts Pirates was their business, which was more than just a little money.

Moments later, in a luxurious reception hall with no doors or windows, Queen and several Headliners entered the room using Tanaka's powers.

"Clap, clap, clap!" Tesoro clapped his hands, his face full of smiles.

"Welcome, welcome, The Plague Queen! I've heard so much about you!"

"Mwahahaha, Tesoro," Queen said with a grin, a cigar in his mouth.

"Your show is quite impressive! It's different from my Funk style, but I like it!"

"Oh, Mr. The Plague enjoys performances?" Tesoro asked, surprised.

Outsiders called him the Golden Emperor, impressed by his wealth, but few cared about his life as an entertainer.

He loved performing.

When he was young and poor, he would watch entertainment performances, dreaming of being on stage and hearing the applause.

Making money was just how he survived. Performing was his passion!

"Mwahahaha, of course! I am a dedicated Entertainment Enthusiast, and I read every issue of the Entertainment Newspaper!" Queen exclaimed.

Queen stood on his tiptoes, his round body dancing. His simple movements showed that he was skilled.

"Funk!" Tesoro exclaimed, his eyes lighting up.

A kindred spirit!

"Mwahahaha!" Queen laughed.

After showing off his singing and dancing, Queen sat down comfortably, feeling refreshed. He had heard of Tesoro for a long time.

Tesoro was a regular in the Entertainment Weekly!

And there weren't many first-rate entertainers!

The two chatted for a while, sharing tips about performing.

As the Entertainment Enthusiast of the Beasts Pirates, Queen's ideas about how to excite an audience were very interesting to Tesoro.

Queen then remembered the business matter: "Tesoro, let's put the business aside for now. I need you to help me find two people. They might be in Gran Tesoro."

"Queen Brothers, don't be polite. If the people you're looking for are in Gran Tesoro, I will find them!" Tesoro said without hesitation.

It had been a long time since he had met someone so like-minded!

"I'm looking for Marine Vice Admiral Black Hair. He should be with a girl with white hair."

"Black Hair?!" Tesoro asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He quickly realized that Black Hair had killed Doflamingo and that the Beasts Pirates held a grudge against him. It was natural for Queen to want to cause trouble for him.

"Queen Brothers, that Vice Admiral Black Hair is already here in Gran Tesoro. If you want to kill him, I can help."

"Wait, I don't want to kill Black Hair!" Queen said, thinking Tesoro had misunderstood.

"Vice Admiral Black Hair is the man that Brother Kaido likes. He wants to marry his daughter to him. The girl with Black Hair is Brother Kaido's daughter!"

"Huh???" Tesoro asked, dumbfounded.

Black Hair is Kaido's son-in-law???
