Chapter 702 Arousing Rage
"This...! Are you really giving it to me? This is..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Just take it. This devil fruit can only be of limited help to us, but it should be very important to you."
The Lucky Fruit is indeed very important to Tesoro, just like the Mirror-Mirror Fruit is as important to Katakuri. Tesoro needs such a devil fruit to maintain the operation of his casino, maximize the casino's profits, and squeeze as much money as possible from the pirates and nobles.
Although Tezulo was full of expectations for this devil fruit at the auction, he stopped thinking about it after this mysterious man entered the treasure house at the venue. He felt a little frustrated and helpless. Now it is back in his hands, and he doesn't have to spend money. Isn't this better than getting it for free? The satisfaction of regaining what was lost is even greater than the joy of getting it directly.
"I'm here to discuss something very important with you. It concerns the future of the world! You must be extremely careful!"
Vic's serious words came out from under his hood. What he said was indeed true. Perhaps the forces that will overthrow the World Government and the Celestial Dragons will begin to rise after this meeting!
But Tezulo felt that how could an event concerning the world situation happen in such an occasion? This occasion was too frivolous, and there was no atmosphere of discussing major events. He just felt that Vic was exaggerating, but he didn't dare to refute it. He just nodded slightly to signal the mysterious man to continue.
"Tezoro! I know your past. Your beloved girlfriend was captured and became a slave. You tried every possible way to raise money to redeem her.
It's just that her beauty attracted the attention of a Tianlong, and she was bought by that Tianlong at a higher price in front of you. What was that Tianlong thinking? You should have known it clearly at that time!
You should still remember that feeling of powerlessness clearly. You tried to resist, but you were too weak to do anything. After being severely beaten, you and your girlfriend were taken to Marijoa by the Celestial Dragons to become their slaves!
Your beloved is just their plaything, and you can only crawl beside them like a dog with a collar and chain, helplessly watching them play with your beloved in different ways! Until she dies!
After listening to what I have to say, does the mark left by the hoof of the Sky-Flying Dragon on your back still hurt?"
Vic was like a devil, tearing open the scars buried deep in Tesoro's heart, leaving him no room for buffer!
The past that he least wanted to recall instantly returned to Tesoro's mind. His expression had become extremely ferocious, his eyes were red as if he wanted to devour someone, just like the expression that appeared on his face when he first went to Marijoa that day!
The Celestial Dragons let him live because they thought it would be more exciting and motivating for him to watch from the side. On that day, he was indeed pressed to the side and crawled on the ground. Even his eyelids were controlled by someone, so that he couldn't even close his eyes. He had this expression and look at that time.
But it was more intense at that time. His body was shaking and struggling. Stella stared at him with a smile in pain. He could not listen to her intermittent words of comfort. He only wanted to destroy the Celestial Dragons, destroy Marijoa, and destroy the whole world!
But he was too weak and could only be pinned to the ground. It was useless even though his gums were bitten until they bled. Fantasy was just fantasy, and he could only be forced to watch his girlfriend being toyed with and insulted again and again without being able to do anything!
Dorag, who was standing next to him, felt sorry for Tesoro. What kind of tragedy was this? Based on his understanding of the Celestial Dragons, Vic's words were already very euphemistic. The Celestial Dragons would only be more perverted and cruel than this!
They don't see other people as their own kind, and they don't have any so-called guilt or sympathy in their hearts. Would you have any extra emotions when you step on an ant to death? You would just feel indifferent, right?
This is the mentality that the Celestial Dragons have towards their own kind. They only want to play with and have fun with them. When they get tired of playing with them, they will throw them away or kill them and replace them with another interesting toy. This was also his original intention to establish the Revolutionary Army to overthrow the Celestial Dragons, because the Celestial Dragons despise life, act recklessly, and exploit the whole world!
“Even if you cover the hoof prints on your back with scars, the memory of humiliation will still accompany you throughout your life, until you become completely numb or become the same as the Celestial Dragons!
Tell this memory to your enemies as a joke, or bury it in a coffin if you are afraid that others will know it! I know that you still hate the Celestial Dragons in your heart, but it is definitely not as strong as it was at the beginning.
Because you find yourself hopeless in revenge, even with your current strength and wealth you still can't do anything. With the passage of time and the threat of the Celestial Dragons, the hatred in your heart will weaken year by year, and you may even forget your beloved Stella. Do you think I'm right?"
Vic continued without waiting for Tesoro to speak. He said this on purpose to arouse Tesoro's deep hatred for the Celestial Dragons.
In the original work, when Taizoro and the Straw Hat Pirates confronted each other, how much hatred did they still have for the Celestial Dragons? Vic only felt a sense of déjà vu that the dragon slayer had finally become a dragon. At that time, Taizoro was no different from the Celestial Dragons except that he no longer had the identity of a Celestial Dragon.
Money and power completely corrupted his heart and made him enjoy the same treatment as the Celestial Dragons. At that time, would he still be able to fully remember Stella in his heart?
So time is really a terrible thing. It can heal all the pain and make you forget all the unforgettable people and things! So Vic wants Tesoro to recall the past and return him to his original mental state, so that he can become a firm anti-dragon faction. Of course, the dragon here is not Dragon, but the Celestial Dragon, all Celestial Dragons!
"No! No! I haven't forgotten Stella! I haven't forgotten what happened to her and her hatred! I won't forget it!"
Tesoro was very excited and refuted loudly, because he found that what Vic said was true. The deep hatred he had at the beginning really faded a lot. At that time, he wanted to bite those celestial dragons into pieces and swallow their flesh and blood alive!
But now he no longer thinks so, and even thinks that using money to drive the Celestial Dragons is also a good way of revenge. Does he think that kind of revenge is a luxury? Is he overwhelmed by the huge power of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government and has no desire to resist?
Tesoro was terrified and panicked. He was afraid that he would really do as the mysterious man said and forget the humiliation and hatred Stella suffered, and the insult and torture of being used as a prop in Marijoa. He could not accept that now. He even put aside how Vic knew his past and refuted it vigorously. His emotions were completely aroused.
