Inside the auction hall, everyone listened to Tesoro and Big Mom's conversation carefully.
If Tesoro fails to calm Big Mom, they will be bound to face Big Mom's wrath!
Especially the crew members who belonged to the Big Mom Pirates were very nervous.
They will get killed here in Gran Tesoro if the conversation doesn't go well.
"Well~ well~ you don't know your limits!! Don't think that if you have defeated Akainu and Aokiji, you will be able to stand against this old lady equally!"
Big Mom's voice echoed through the Den Den Mushi in the whole auction hall.
"I am waiting for you in the new world. Come if you have the courage!"
"In a year, I will go to the new world in a year."
Akira gazed at the Den Den Mushi and said in a calm tone:
"When I set foot in the new world, you will fall from your position as one of the four Yonko(s)."
"Don't talk so big! You little devil don't who know what waits for you in the new world!"
Big Mom yelled angrily and smashed the Den Den Mushi without waiting for Akira's reply.
Akira looked at the Den Den Mushi and closed his eyes, then sneered, saying:
"Your era has come to its end!"
Tesoro stepped forward; he smiled at Akira and asked:
"Akira-san, spare Smoothie's life."
Akira stared at him for a while and then nodded, saying:
"To save your face, this time, I let them go."
Akira left his foot from
Smoothie's head and then continued saying:
"Can you deliver the treasure tree Adam to Water7 city for me within ten days?"
"Of course~ don't worry about this matter."
Tesoro replied calmly with a smile.
"If this is the case, then I won't disturb your auction even, but be careful with them and don't blame me if something worse happens to them."
Tesoro smiled slightly and said to Akira:
"Of course, I will send her to the New World immediately after her recovery. I believe the Beast Pirates will not be able to them before entering the New World."
"I hope so," Akira said, smiling.
Tesoro stepped towards Akira, and handed him an invitation card, then said:
"This is the invitation card for the Pirate Expo Festival that will be held next year. If you are interested, please be sure to participate."
"Pirate Expo Festival?"
Akira raised his brows slightly, wondering.
Pirate Expo Festival is a pirate festival event held every few years.
Most of the pirates in the grand line will gather together and interact during the event.
Due to the massive number of pirates in close proximity to each other, the Festival is said to be a lawless and dangerous event. Actions like fighting, stealing, and even kidnapping are permitted without issue. The only rule of the event is that the attendees must keep it a secret, ensuring that the Marines do not find out about it.
"Since it is the Pirate Expo Festival, I am interested."
A gleam appeared in Akira's eyes looking at the card, and he replied with great interest.
Tesoro was satisfied with Akira's answer, and he said smiling:
"Then I will be waiting for you at that time."
Akira nodded said:
"I have a few good fruits in my hand, such as Sand-Sand Fruit, and..." When Akira mentioned the rustling fruits, Tesoro's eyes shook.
However, Akira continued:
"And the Shadow-Shadow Fruit."
"The Shadow-Shadow Fruit?!"
Tesoro was shocked hearing Akira.
"Could it be that Moria has...?"
"I have met Moria in the Florian Triangle after facing the Navy."
Tesoro got frightened, thinking of Baccarat's secretly using her luck-luck fruit's ability on Akira.
"Fortunately, I showed up in time! Otherwise, if did he noticed Baccarat's move, he would have taken everything from me.."
"Originally, I would extract her devil fruit as well, but for your sake, I did not."
Akira said, looking at Smoothie, then turned his head to Tesoro:
"Continue with the auction. Since I am in Gran Tesoro, I have to take a tour~."
Tesoro had already put all his thoughts away at this time, and he bowed to Akira and said:
"You won't be disappointed~."
After saying this, he turned and walked to the stage in the auction hall.
"He actually obtained the Sand-San Fruit and the Shadow-Shadow Fruit! These fruits belong to the Shichibukai that died in his hands. Has he already learned the mystery of the resurrection of the Devil Fruit?!"
Tesoro was drenched in his thoughts. At this time, he thought that Akira had actually entered the elemental state when the member of the Beast Pirates shot him from the Big Mom Pirates.
And after the Elementalization, the ability that he used was exactly the same as Kizaru's Glint-Glint fruit.
Thinking of this, suddenly he began to sweat profusely!
"Could it be that the Vice-admiral Kizaru has also died in his hands?!!"
Tesoro got frightened by only thinking of this possibility.
But he quickly realized that if Akira had really killed Kizaru, the Navy would definitely not be as calm as it is now.
"So does has a special ability which allowed him to copy Glint-Glint Fruit's power?"
Tesoro became confused and had no intention to stay in the auction hall; he hurriedly said a few words on the stage and then left the hall.
"Tanaka!"
Tesoro approached his office and called Tanaka in a low voice.
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
Hearing his call, Tanaka came through the wall.
"Go and check Vive-Admiral Kizaru's current state!"
Tanaka is one of the most trusted members under Tesoro's command.
However, he immediately reacted and asked:
"Do you suspect that the abilities that Akira showed are taken from Kizaru?"
Tesoro nodded and said:
"Yes, there are no two identical devil fruits in this world. What Akira used must be was the Glint-Glint Fruit."
After a pause, he continued:
"But I am sure that Kizaru is definitely not dead! Otherwise, the Navy definitely would be in an uproar!"
"It makes sense."
Tanaka agreed with Tesoro's guesses.
"Then boss, do you want me to ask our agent inside the world government now?"
Tesoro thought for a while, then said:
"Yes, ask him."
"Yes!"
Tanaka responded, and his body gradually disappeared into the wall.
Purupuru~ Purupuru!
In a dim secret room, the ringing sound of the Den Den Mushi rang.
"Tanaka-san, what do you want?"
A deep voice came from the opposite side of the Den Den Mushi.
"The boss has a task for you!"
Tanaka checked his surroundings before talking. Although there was no one, he was still highly cautious.
"I am listening!"
"Can you confirm Vice-admiral Kizaru's current state?"
"Kizaru?"
The other party's voice shook as he heard Kizaru's name.
"What's wrong?!"
From the change in the other party's tone, Tanaka felt that he must know something.
