Chapter 130.5 – Tesoro’s past

"This is a medicinal bathtub, not a swimming pool," Arton said, shaking his head. "If it were larger, it would require more herbs and would be wasteful."

"Yes, yes, Arton is right," Carina nodded, provocatively saying to Nami, "If you want to use it, you'll have to wait until next time."

'Bitch!' Nami clenched her fists and then smiled at Arton, saying, "Actually, if everyone soaks together, we wouldn't need to prepare the herbs multiple times, so it could be considered a form of saving."

Arton listened to her and carefully looked at Nami again, then glanced at the tub. "You have a point, but that will have to wait until next time."

After speaking, Arton opened the diary system and took a photo of himself, Nami, and Carina in the current situation.

[Photo: Just soaking in the medicinal bath, and both Nami and Carina joined in!]

Nico Robin: "Arton, you really know how to enjoy yourself."

Vivi: "…Will I have to do this in the future too?"

Sadi: "…Getting Arton to join the Navy will require a lot of effort."

Baccarat: "Well… I've seen this kind of situation before with Tesoro."

[This scene somehow reminds me of the Golden Emperor Tesoro.]

Baccarat: "?!"

[I remember in the anime I watched, when Baccarat reported to Tesoro, the man was soaking in water, surrounded by beauties.]

[The difference is that my situation involves a medicinal bath, while his was a small swimming pool.]

Baccarat: "Finally, my name was mentioned. It's really not easy to earn some points."

[Speaking of which, Carina was also sitting beside the Golden Emperor at that time, wearing a swimsuit. She sat at the edge of the pool, dipping her legs into the water, just like Nami now.]

[Although Carina approached the Golden Emperor to steal treasures and kept some distance from Tesoro, thinking about it, Carina and Nami are quite similar.]

[Both are overly open women. Then, if I were to marry, I shouldn't choose Nami or Carina.]

[Indeed, simple and cute Kaya is the best choice.]

[Once she fully masters the Tsunade template, she will look even better. At that time, even if we have many children, she will be able to feed them well.]

'How could this be?! I clearly haven't done such things!'

'Those are things that will happen in the future.'

'I've never worn a swimsuit in front of a man!'

Carina thought, looking at Arton with a hint of grievance.

'Hmph, I'm in the same boat.'

'Arton said that I'm overly open, but I haven't done any of those things either.'

'This is the first time a man has seen me like this.'

Nami's lips curled into a smile, as if she understood Carina's thoughts.

'Why do I keep getting dragged into this?' Kaya blushed as she watched Arton's back.

Baccarat: "Great! Arton doesn't plan to marry Carina and Nami? If that's the case, how about me? I can also feed our children well."

Charlotte Smoothie: "Speaking of feeding children, I not only have an ample chest but also the ability to make different fruit juices for our children."

Whitey Bay: "I should be pretty good too. I hope Arton won't mind an older woman."

[Speaking of the Golden Emperor Tesoro, he's quite a talent.]

[In just twelve years, he went from nothing to everything, from having his beloved woman killed by the Celestial Dragons, to becoming a penniless slave, to seizing the Goro Goro no Mi from the Shichibukai Doflamingo, gaining immense power, and becoming a business partner. Eventually, he leveraged his incredible talents to become the world's richest man, controlling 20% of the world's Berry, and even having the power to influence the World Government.]

[Tesoro has certainly gone through a lot.]

Baccarat: "Hmm?! Tesoro was once a slave?!"

Stussy: "Interesting, to think he had that past."

Gion: "Tesoro had such dealings with the Shichibukai?"

Monet: "Oh no, now the Navy might start investigating the connection between Young Master and Tesoro."

[This man has aspects where he's stronger than me.]

Kalifa: "Huh! This arrogant man admits there are areas where he's not as good as Tesoro?!"

[Tesoro was captured by the Celestial Dragons for the sake of his beloved woman. If it weren't for the Fishman Tiger's raid on Mariejois, he wouldn't have escaped.]

Boa Hancock: "He was a slave too?!"

[However, despite being tormented by the Celestial Dragons, he eventually had to swallow his pride to curry favor with them.]

[Although it's for his own interests and goals, it can't be said to be wrong.]

[But as for me, I absolutely couldn't do that.]

[To make me curry favor with the Celestial Dragons? Unless my head was crushed by Smoothie or Cinnamon's legs.]

Charlotte Cinnamon: "Huh?! My... my legs?"

Charlotte Smoothie: "Oh my, my name came up again. Longlegs really attract Arton, or should I say, my legs attract him? Hehe."
