"Tesoro, kill him! Avenge our Jack Pirates!"
"Yeah! And our Sword Dragon Pirates, too! If not for him, I wouldn't have been forced by the Marines to farm for over two months!"
"I already notified Lord Jack, but he's not here yet."
"If only we could take his head—sixty billion belly bounty!"
"I hear taking Creed's head not only nets sixty billion, it wins a Celestial Dragon's favor!"
"No wonder the Golden Emperor wants him dead and invited him to the Sky Theater!"
"Tesoro loves collecting statues of pirates with bounties over a billion. Now that Creed's in Gran Tesoro, there's no way he lets him go!"
In the stands, over a hundred thousand spectators howled, most of them begging Tesoro to kill Creed.
Creed hopped lightly and landed atop the central high platform, and the arena's fever pitch spiked again. He swept his gaze around—and let Rinne shine coldly in his eyes.
The lives of these hundreds of thousands didn't weigh on him at all. In the battle to come, he wouldn't hold back. Scum who treated other people's lives as entertainment—just like Tesoro—could all go to hell for all he cared.
Name: Gild Tesoro
[Attributes]: Strength: SSS, Agility: SSS-, Endurance (Defense): SS+, Spirit: S-
[Masteries]: SSS-class Busōshoku Haki (Armament Haki), SS-class Taijutsu, Level 5 Rokushiki (Six Powers)
[Devil Fruit / Special]: Goru Goru no Mi (Gold-Gold Fruit, Paramecia, initial awakening)
[Overall Power]: SSS+
Creed's covert probe made him raise a brow. The man's individual attributes and skills were, at best, SSS-, yet his overall rating hit SSS+. So the awakening boost of the Gold-Gold Fruit really was fierce.
Even so—did he think that was enough to hunt Creed?
Was he tired of living? Or just insane?
"Welcome tonight's star—Creed!"
"The World Government bounty is thirty billion—the highest so far! Add the Underground's thirty billion, and that's a staggering sixty billion! Unprecedented!"
"He's going to give us the most spectacular performance—let's praise him with cheers and screams—"
Tesoro rhapsodized into a gold-plated mic, whipping the crowd higher and higher.
Creed lifted a finger. A beam lanced out—boom—and Tesoro went tumbling through a spray of sparks.
"Too much noise," Creed said, bored.
The sudden strike left Tesoro filthy and stunned the spectators—then sent them into a frenzy.
Now this was a show.
No one had made Tesoro look this wretched in years.
"Do you even know who you just struck? Good!" Tesoro snarled.
Golden fountains burst.
He steadied himself, then triggered the surrounding devices. Columns of golden "water" geysered skyward, blooming into glittering sprays. Infused with fine gold dust, they would seep into flesh on contact, giving Tesoro control.
Here, they also signaled the curtain rising.
"Save the parlor tricks," Creed said.
He stretched out a hand and closed his fingers. Frost roared. The massive spray nozzles crusted over in thick black ice, and the dozen erupting fountains froze mid-bloom into crystalline flowers—Kōri Ken'iki (Ice Sword Domain).
"As expected of a technique that can freeze the gods of water themselves," Tesoro's gaze went cold.
"Use your awakening. Otherwise you won't even have the chance to guard," Creed said—and flicked. Beams stitched the stage, blasting it nearly flat. Tesoro dodged raggedly, clothes in tatters.
The lasers tore not only the stage; a swath of the stands collapsed, bodies and debris scattering, screaming. Panic ripped through the crowd as they finally woke from their spectator's trance and fled, cursing, begging.
"With this level, you think you can co-star in a 'masterpiece' with me? Don't make me laugh," Creed said, lips curling.
"No one laughs before me. Without my permission—no one laughs!" Tesoro saw that tiny curl and snapped. Memories crashed in—his lover stolen by Celestial Dragons, his own enslavement—hysteria tore him open.
"So he's that neurotic," Creed thought, eyes narrowing. "Poke him a little and he goes berserk." According to his memory, Tesoro had a rule: no one smiles before him, and no one smiles at him without permission. Violate it, and he wanted you dead. One test—and it proved true.
"Aaaaah!"
Boom—boom—boom—boom—boom!
With a bestial bellow, golden deluge exploded from beneath the Sky Theater—tides of metal surged. Anything brushed by the gold-water hardened instantly into a statue. Screams rippled, terror howled, curses and hatred rang out.
They'd come to watch a joyous spectacle—only to face death a heartbeat later.
This was the Goru Goru no Mi's awakening.
The Sky Theater drowned beneath golden flood—becoming a radiant prison. In moments, casualties soared into the tens of thousands.
Boom!
The floor under Creed shattered. A titanic force erupted upward, locking onto him.
"One of the All-Stars, the Beast Pirates' marquee brute—hiding under my feet for a sneak strike? Aren't you ashamed?" Creed's body flashed—Raishun (Lightning Flash)—and he was gone in a crackle.
Krakoom!
The flooring disintegrated under the blow, blasted to powder. Through the rolling dust strode a mountainous figure—thick-muscled, hair tied in a long ponytail with twin braided locks, a metal jawpiece, ivory-like tusk ornaments on head and shoulders, twin scythe-blades in hand.
Jack.
"Creed. You've made too many enemies," Jack said, voice a chill growl. "Today, you'll obediently become Gran Tesoro's premier statue."
He had spent over twenty years building his fleet, and Creed had leveraged others to annihilate it. A hatred that could not coexist under the same sky.
"Just the two of you won't keep me here." Creed drew Rinne—no room for carelessness. From two hidden corners, he sensed a pair of power signatures no weaker than Jack's. His brows lifted. The other All-Stars, too?
That would be… troublesome.
[Attributes]: Strength: SSS+, Agility: SSS-, Endurance (Defense): SSSS-, Spirit: SSS-
[Masteries]: SSS+ Busōshoku Haki (Armament Haki), SSS Swordsmanship, SSS- Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki), SSS Taijutsu, SS+ Rokushiki (Six Powers) …
[Devil Fruit / Special]: Zou Zou no Mi (Elephant-Elephant Fruit, Zoan, initial awakening)
[Overall Power]: SSS+
Creed's eyes cooled further. No wonder the brute was so ridiculously hard to put down—his Endurance stat was SSSS-.
"Heh."
Rrrrrrumbllle—
Tesoro's low shout rolled. Golden tides wrapped him whole—and a towering giant tens of meters high rose from the flood.
Golden Giant.
Tesoro's strongest killing move.
