Golden building.

In Tezzolo's office.

The atmosphere here was dull, Tezzolo was sitting in his seat, and Karl was drinking tea with his legs crossed and sitting on the big sofa next to him.

There was no one around.

Tezzolo sent his men out.

Carl's crew was also arranged to play elsewhere.

Today is a holiday for them, but Karl also left a task for them, which is to observe the Golden City carefully.

If you find something unusual, report it promptly.

In addition, Karl also specially told Enelu and Nilu to try not to cause trouble here, and then there were no other instructions.

There are only Carl and Tezzolo in this office now, so the atmosphere seems so awkward.

The two of them stayed here in silence for about ten minutes.

Although the atmosphere was depressing, Karl didn't feel anything was wrong.

He only came here to eat and drink, and had no intention of attacking Tezzolo. Naturally, the other party had nothing to do with him.

Tezzolo was the only one who felt very depressed.

"Speaking of Brigadier General Karl, what is your purpose here? Or what is your mission?

I only do some small business here, small business, nothing comparable to what Doflamingo did in Dressrosa.

If you are ready to investigate my place, feel free to do so, except that some slave traders will conduct private transactions here.

There is nothing illegal on my part, after all, the Tianlong people often trade with me, and I will not ruin my own brand."

Tezzolo couldn't help it anymore and was the first to show weakness.

He understood that he was probably no match for Karl, and besides, the other party was in the navy and was a young and energetic rising star in the navy.

Although Tezzolo is not afraid of the navy, he is afraid of young men like Karl.

Once there is a conflict with the opponent, Tezzolo will lose no matter what he does.

Wherever you can tolerate it, you will naturally tolerate it, as long as Karl doesn't go too far.

"Mr. Tezzolo, you don't need to be so nervous at all. I didn't come here deliberately to target you.

Actually, I want to ask you for cooperation. By the way, I want to ask you why you want to recruit these pirates.

As far as I know, although you have recruited pirates before, you have never directly published the information in a newspaper.

Your behavior is very suspicious!"

Karl narrowed his eyes and stated the purpose of his trip.

Tezzolo also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Karl's words.

He just needs to confirm Karl's attitude now. As long as Karl doesn't come here to target him, Tezzolo doesn't need to be as cautious as he is now.

"So that's what happened. I recruited pirates just so they could work hard for me and die on the way.

These pirates are all after money and don't care about their own life and death. As long as I use a little bit of tricks, I can make them obey my orders.

Why don’t I make good use of such a good labor force?”

Tezzolo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing an evil expression.

Obviously he does this often, but as Karl said, he has never recruited pirates with such a big fanfare as during this period.

"I always feel that you are hiding something from me, but forget it, I have to stay here for a few days to kill time anyway.

Marshal Sengoku told me to stay in the New World for a while before returning to the Navy Headquarters.

But he still doesn’t let me go around and cause trouble, which is really troublesome!

Originally, my next destination was the country where the Big Mom Pirates are located, but due to the order of Marshal Sengoku, I had to change my plan temporarily and come to you.

No matter how I think about it, I feel a little bit at a loss, but having said that, maybe I can get some unexpected surprises from you."

Karl showed a helpless expression on his face, obviously feeling a little disappointed that he came to the Golden City.

Tezzolo's mouth twitched.

He didn't expect that Karl's visit to him was just a temporary idea without any careful planning at all.

But his original plan was to destroy all nations and cause trouble for the Big Mom Pirates, one of the Four Emperors!

Tezzolo would never dare to have such an idea.

But this also made him more certain that Karl was just a stupid young man who had a sense of justice but didn't know what the world was like.

Thinking of this, Tezzolo sighed.

Since Karl came to him on an impromptu basis, it meant that he had no specific plan, which made Tezzolo feel at ease.

"Brigadier General Karl, what did you mean when you said you wanted to cooperate with me?"

Tezzolo asked, and Karl's eyes became much sharper.

After about ten seconds of silence, Karl finally spoke.

"I want you to help me investigate Doflamingo's whereabouts. People like him must not stay!"

"It's easy to say, but how do you plan to pay the reward? Gold or Bailey? Or other rare treasures?

Seeing as you are a member of the Navy, I can give you a 20% discount, which is the biggest discount I have here."

When he hears that business is coming to his door, even if it's just information gathering, Tezzolo still doesn't refuse.

Although he hadn't personally taken over this kind of business for a long time, in order to avoid arousing Karl's resentment, he still pretended to be very happy.

However, Karl's reaction made Tezolo freeze.

"Remuneration? Are you kidding me? A mere pirate dares to ask for compensation from the navy?

Do you believe that I will lead a team to thoroughly investigate your casino right now and cause you some trouble?"

"Huh! If you ask me for payment, you think I'm one of those rich people!"

Karl snorted coldly, saying that he had no money, but you must accept this task!

This situation was something Tezzolo did not expect.

He originally thought that Karl would be very willing to pay and cooperate, but he didn't expect that Karl would be very willing.

But paying to cooperate?

Tezzolo thinks too much!

"Okay, let's make friends this time, and I'll investigate Doflamingo's whereabouts for free."

Tezzolo had no choice but to endure it.

What he was most worried about was that Karl was being unreasonable and started investigating the Golden City.

Although he is confident that there is nothing against the rules here.

But once it is investigated, it will definitely affect the business, which is something Tezzolo does not want to see.

Not to mention, he has a plan to implement later.

If this plan is delayed because of Karl, then his losses will be too great.

It may even cause dissatisfaction among the Celestial Dragons.

This is something Tezzolo doesn't want to see.

"That's pretty much it. If you have any news, tell me. I'll go out for a walk first to see what fun things you have here."

After saying that, Karl waved his hand and left Tezzolo's office in a hurry. He also took away a bottle of good wine here, as if he didn't regard himself as an outsider.

After Tezzolo saw Karl leaving, his expression slowly turned gloomy.
