Chapter 3 Gran Tesoro: The Shining Casino of Fortune and Cruelty

[Loan shark ruler: The Golden Emperor's national wealth is actually third highest!]

[Kizaru: That's strange! Where is this Dragon Kingdom? A country we've never heard of before is ranked first in the Kingdom Fortune List!]

[Auntie: Come on, Marine, have you never heard of this country?]

[Sengoku: The second kingdom is indeed wealthier than the Golden Emperor!]

As the highest-ranking officer in the Marine, the Marshal has access to classified information that is not available to the public

[King: It seems this ranking lacks credibility and authority!]

[Whitebeard: Why should the country ruled by Celestial Dragons always be the richest?]

[Golden Lion: Even though I despise them, it's reasonable to think that the World Government should be the richest!]

[Rocks: It's not necessary; the comparison is between individual countries, not entire organizations!]

...

Everyone was skeptical and didn't quite believe it, but the third country had already started streaming the video.

The video was titled "An Ordinary Day in the Gran Tesoro!"

The country of Gran Tesoro is a gigantic island ship.

Its resplendent and resplendent buildings have caught the attention of the world.

Some people who had never seen the market exclaimed in surprise.

"The buildings in this country are so shiny, they look like they're made of gold."

"This country is so wealthy, it should be number one!"

"I had the best time in this country! The entertainment was amazing."

...

"My kingdom is the richest place in the world! No other place can compare!"

The Golden Emperor looked at the rankings and sneered.

He couldn't believe that any other country could be richer than his.

.....

The video opens with a bird's-eye view of a gold-plated, magnificent building.

The camera zoomed into the casino.

The casino is very lively, there are pirates, marines, merchants, bounty hunters...

The gamblers' faces are flushed with excitement, their eyes gleaming with greed.

They look around the casino with confidence

I firmly believe that I can kill the Quartet!

Many even have the leisure to flirt with the beauties around them!

At the beginning of gambling, many people made profits and tasted the sweetness.

Gradually rise to the top and increase the chips.

Then he lost money one after another, and a hideous look began to appear on his face!

The couple who were still in love with each other just now suddenly became a punching bag!

Pirates who are irritable themselves, some even kill their female companions directly!

There are also some unwilling people who tried to make trouble, but were suppressed by the armed forces here!

Finally, the gamblers came with high spirits.

Leave dejectedly!

And Baccarat, the Luck Luck Fruit ability user in charge of finances, is keeping accounts.

....

The records of the casino are displayed in the sky for everyone to see.

It's hard to believe how much money people are making here!

This casino is a gold mine, and one hour of credit here is more than what most people earn in their lifetime.

[Loan shark ruler: Argh! I knew your entertainment empire was lucrative, but I never imagined a single casino could be more profitable than my loan business!]

[Nami: It's possible to make 100 million in less than a day!]

.....

Nami was envious of the casino's profits.

She could not fathom how there were so many wealthy people in ordinary places.

Gao Yang looked at her in disbelief

She was managing such a large sum of money that she could purchase several entertainment empires.

The Golden Emperor was wealthy, but that his 20% stake was not actually worth that much.

There were many other wealthy people who were much more discreet than him, and the majority of hard currency in the world was in the hands of major players.

That currency would not be easily converted into Bailey.

...

The video continues, and it shows a wealthy-looking businessman who loses all his money in the casino.

He then asks the Golden Emperor to borrow money, mortgaging his slaves, merchant ships, and shops on various islands.

He continues to gamble, and his luck seems to change.

He not only returns the money he borrowed, but he also wins hundreds of millions of Baileys.

He is feeling confident again, and he is invited into the VIP room by Baccarat.

Baccarat personally bets against him, and with the blessing of her Luck Luck Fruit ability, the businessman quickly loses everything.

He becomes the slave of the Golden Emperor, and he must work for him for the rest of his life. If he does not do his best, he will be whipped and abused.

The people watching the video are stunned.

.....

[Garp: Gambling can ruin lives. This businessman gambled away his wealth and his family.]

[Aokiji: the contract was changed.]

[Golden Lion: Something seems off about that woman; she wins every bet, but I can't spot anything unusual!]

[Sengoku: If I'm right, she probably has the Paramecia's lucky fruit power!]

[Morgans: Seriously? Tesoro, you guys completely disregard the rules? Gambling with abilities is illegal in the underground world!]

[Golden Emperor: What nonsense are you spouting? This world works this way. If I'm not clever enough to know when to back off, it's only natural that others might take advantage of me! If he's willing to leave after losing everything, I don't need someone like that as a subordinate! Ultimately, we aim for long-term growth.]

.....

The video showed many people who had been exploited by the Golden Emperor.

Some gamblers had lost everything and even died, while others had been forced into slavery.

The Golden Emperor was like a vampire, sucking the lifeblood out of anyone who came to his empire.

The Golden Emperor's casino is a brutal place, but it is also a very profitable one.

The casino makes its money by exploiting the people who come to gamble there.

Some people lose everything they have, while others are even forced into slavery.

But even though the casino is a dark place, it is still a successful one.
