At this time, Elior was on his way to the Golden City.

Reiju and Bonnie were very happy. After all, with the current situation, there were no idle people around, so they could enjoy a good life with Elior.

That said, both Reiju and Bonnie actually wanted to live in a world of just the two of them with Elior.

But now, they could only live in a world of three.

Naturally, the two women weren't exactly thrilled.

Of course, this dissatisfaction wasn't out of hostility—it was just pure jealousy.

At this moment, Reiju was peeling an apple for Elior, while Bonnie stood behind him, gently patting his back.

The two of them looked no different from doting wives.

"Don't talk yet, let me ask where the Gran Tesoro is first."

The two women nodded, and Elior had already used a Den Den Mushi to contact the Golden City.

The contact information had been given to him by Big Mom. As for whether the one on the other end would be the Golden Emperor himself, Elior didn't know.

Still, the title of Golden Emperor was rather intriguing to him.

Soon, the call connected, and the voice that answered was alluring and seductive.

Just from her voice alone, one could picture a sultry beauty.

Elior, being familiar with the original story, naturally knew who this woman was—

Baccarat, one of Tesoro's subordinates, a Paramecia-type user of the Luck-Luck Fruit.

"Beautiful lady, I'd like to know which sea the Gran Tesoro is currently in."

Elior didn't bother with small talk.

"Oh my, doesn't his voice sound like a handsome young man? Fufu…"

Her tone was dripping with charm, overly teasing. Of course, Elior wasn't interested.

He wasn't about to accept every woman he came across.

"Where is the Gran Tesoro?"

Elior asked again, calmly. Baccarat eventually gave him the coordinates.

Baccarat: "I wonder… are you a pirate, a Marine, or something else?"

Her tone remained the same. An ordinary man might have fallen under her spell, but Elior hung up without hesitation.

"Ugh…"

On the other end, Baccarat was left stunned. She hadn't expected someone to just hang up on her.

"Captain, just from her voice she already sounds like a fox spirit!" Bonnie commented from behind Elior.

"Yeah, that voice is definitely more than just a fox spirit—it probably means she's ugly in real life!" Reiju added, shaking her head.

Elior shook his head. "I'm not interested."

He truly had no interest in Baccarat. Maybe it was because she'd already been played with by Tesoro, just like Violet had been by Doflamingo.

Besides, what use was that woman's ability anyway?

The Luck-Luck Fruit.

Did that mean taking Baccarat with him would help him find Road Poneglyphs and Devil Fruits?

Obviously not.

And in terms of beauty, she wasn't all that impressive either.

Among the women around Elior who didn't have any special abilities, Hiyori was the only one — and she was still counted among the ranks of the peerless beauties.

Baccarat's phone call, however, left Reiju and Bonnie a little uneasy.

Who knew if Elior would end up attracting more women once they reached the Golden City?

Just like now—in Wano, there was Hiyori. Outside, there was Gion. And there was also Hancock, who had already submitted herself obediently to Elior.

And then there were two more women not to be overlooked.

Yamato and Baby 5 were already beauties in their own right. It was only a matter of time before their fates were decided.

God knew!

The competition was intense!

Two days passed quickly, and Elior's ship finally spotted the colossal vessel in the distance.

The Golden City—Gran Tesoro!

A supergiant ship pulled by two enormous sea turtles, its hull stretched for ten kilometers. It could only be described as a floating city!

The level of luxury in this city surpassed that of any country.

For many, the Golden City was like paradise itself—no, even beyond paradise.

"So this is the Golden City? It looks incredible!"

"Yes, and it's a city on the sea that can move freely!"

Both Bonnie and Reiju were amazed.

"The Golden City is even more beautiful inside," Elior said with a smile, standing between them.

Ten minutes later, their ship entered the port and docked.

When other pirates saw the ship flying Elior's flag, their reactions were filled with shock—some even trembled.

"That's the ship of Yonko Elior… which of his crew could be on board?"

"Probably a top officer!"

"Yikes, let's keep our distance!"

The pirates who saw Elior's ship had already started to back away. After all, the Elior Pirates were now recognized as the strongest crew in the New World. Who would dare provoke them?

Just two days ago, word had spread that Elior had gone to war with Big Mom and defeated the Big Mom Pirates.

Although the finer details hadn't been made public,

the fact alone revealed the truth: the Elior Pirates might already be the strongest pirate crew alive.

After all, the only Yonko's crew they hadn't yet fought was the Red-Haired Pirates.

"Wait, that's… Elior himself!"

"I see him! The Yonko himself has come to the Golden City!"

"This is insane! That monster came here in person!"

When Elior appeared in plain sight, the crowd was thrown into chaos.

The people present erupted in an uproar.

But Elior had no interest in paying attention to them. Taking Reiju and Bonnie with him, he disembarked and officially entered the Golden City.

Of course, before entering, golden dust began falling from the sky.

The shimmering powder rained down like snow, giving the city a dreamlike atmosphere.

Except, of course, it was golden.

Reiju and Bonnie instinctively wanted to reach for the glittering flakes.

But Elior released a burst of his Conqueror Haki, scattering all the golden powder that was about to fall on them.

The two women were surprised at first, but after Elior explained, they quickly understood.

This was Tesoro's method of controlling everyone in the Golden City. He secretly let the powder seep into their bodies, ensuring they remained under his influence.

Countless visitors to the Golden City had already become pathetic slaves under Tesoro's control.

Naturally, Elior didn't believe Tesoro would dare try anything against him.

Still, he had no intention of letting that powder touch him.
