As the news continued to spread over the next few days in the New World, a ship emerged from the darkness of that night, displaying the Jolly Roger with the Straw Hat, approaching a large, brightly lit place that stood out due to its coloration.

This place was none other than the Gran Tesoro, a giant ship that housed an entire city made of gold, used for entertainment, where even world nobles would come to gamble and have fun.

However, this had been happening less frequently since the World Government restricted and warned about all those Tenryuubito who were captured leaving this place over a year ago, consequently killed.

Everything was occurring normally in this place today, as people continued to gamble and have fun. No one seemed to notice the ship approaching through the darkness of the sea that night, getting closer and closer to the ship.

Of course, the discussions about what was happening with Dressrosa were a hot topic there, with people wondering what the next moves of the Straw Hats would be, the shame that the World Government tried to hide as soon as the news of what happened with the government began to spread. Many were blaming the Shichibukai system and the government itself, while the revolutionaries also seemed interested in helping tarnish the government's image.

People talked about these events while gambling at the Gran Tesoro, but their time was mostly spent on games, after all, that's what they were there for.

In a large hall full of casinos, someone exclaimed, "I'm going to win this, Haha!" said a fat man playing cards, surrounded by women who were interested in his winnings.

The result of the game was revealed a moment later. "I told you we'd win!" he said excitedly, as he threw down his cards and obtained the result he desired, beginning to amass a mountain of chips to exchange for berries later.

In another area, a person didn't seem to have as much luck as the last one. She was now crying after losing her hand and all her chips. "No! Why all my savings?" She cried, while the dealer laughed.

Two men appeared at that moment. "You lost... looks like we'll have to take you to the boss for the debt you owe him after borrowing money." The security guards dragged her away as she continued to cry.

"Well, better luck next time, sir," the dealer mocked, watching the scene.

In another part of the ship, two people were arguing while a man wearing a crown was mocking them.

"I'm going to spend this money. I'm sure I can double it!"

"But, my king, you can't spend the Kingdom's treasury like this! It will bankrupt the entire country!" the minister tried to argue, almost begging.

"Don't you see that I'm going to make our Kingdom rich with this? Besides, if I lose, I'll just impose more taxes," he said with a confident and arrogant tone, while the minister could do nothing. The king was spending all the money they had accumulated in the Kingdom and would hardly be able to pay the tribute to Merry Geoise.

In another place, in a more private room, while all of this was happening throughout this golden, floating city on the high seas, a man watched everything with satisfaction, as this was the place where the owner of this entire money empire resided. Gildo Tesoro was sitting quietly, watching all the screens in front of him, which showed each of the rooms with their various games throughout his golden ship.
