One Piece: I'm Destined to Be the Son-in-Law King!-Chapter 195: I’m Here to Make Money

As night arrived, Golden City burst into life, its gold surfaces shining brightly, even more vibrant than during the day.

Roya and Yamato strolled through the regular part of town, enjoying the sights and especially the food, quickly spending the two million Belly he had.

Yamato, enjoying a Candy Ball, looked at all the gold around them. "Roya, does the person who owns this place really, really like gold?" she asked.

"Of course," Roya replied.

He didn't know exactly what Gild Tesoro was thinking, but he figured that someone who used the Gold-Gold Fruit probably needed to love gold to awaken its full power.

"Time for a look at the VIP area," Roya said, gazing at the towering Hotel Gold-Tesoro in the center of the city, also known as the Golden King Hotel. It was made entirely of gold, and he wondered how much it had cost.

The luxury was unbelievable.

They said Gild Tesoro was always looking for more gold to build Golden City. Compared to this place, the gold on Sky Island was probably less than one percent of what was here.

"Hi!"

A sleek white sports car pulled up nearby, and a tall, red-haired woman approached Roya with a graceful walk.

"Excuse me, are you Vice Admiral Black Hair?" she asked.

Taking off her sunglasses, the woman gave a friendly smile and introduced herself: "Nice to meet you! I'm Baccarat, the Golden City's special host for the VIP area!"

"Oh, you're here to meet us?" Roya asked, interested.

He was pretty famous now, and he thought it would be strange if no one noticed him when he came to Golden City.

"Of course, Vice Admiral Black Hair," Baccarat said with a bright smile. "I've been waiting for you, but I didn't want to interrupt your walk with your friend, so I waited before coming over."

"Hmm, not bad," Roya said, nodding with a smile.

He had to admit, the service was excellent.

"Please, tell me if you need anything, Vice Admiral," Baccarat said, gesturing towards the sports car. "Please, get in. I'll take you to the VIP area. The entertainment there is much more interesting than here!"

"Alright," Roya agreed, nodding slightly. He, Yamato, and his assistant climbed into the luxurious sports car, powered by a strong turtle. The soft seats were very comfortable.

Tsk, I have to get one to take back! I'll have to get my hands on one of these cars.

The sports car sped down the street, heading towards the VIP area.

Baccarat drove with one hand and asked curiously, "Vice Admiral Black Hair, do you have a specific reason for coming to Golden City this time?"

"Well, I'm here to make money," Roya said with a chuckle, telling Baccarat his purpose. If I don't say it, how will anyone give me money?

"Haha, Vice Admiral Black Hair is so funny!" Baccarat said, smiling but not believing a word.

Most guests wanted to get rich quickly in Golden City, but a famous Marine Vice Admiral wouldn't be so obvious, would he?

He must be here to investigate! she thought.

There were many people from the underworld inside Gran Tesoro, including pirates with huge bounties.

But this was a safe haven, recognized by the World Government. Even if pirates walked around, the Marines couldn't do anything.

"Screech!"

Ten minutes later, the sports car stopped at the side of Hotel Gold-Tesoro. Before they could get out, there was a commotion at the hotel entrance.

Everyone knelt down, even pirates and Marines. No one dared to look up.

Yamato looked confused. "Roya, why are those people kneeling on the ground?"

"The Celestial Dragons are here," Roya said, his eyes darkening.

"Stay in the car. Don't get out."

"Okay!"

Soon, three Celestial Dragons in oxygen masks arrived, each sitting on raggedly dressed slaves. They slowly entered the hotel.

Yamato didn't understand. "Why are they riding on people?"

"To show off how important they are, I guess," Roya said, shaking his head.

He didn't understand the Celestial Dragons' tastes. Riding on slaves was slow, uncomfortable, and not cool at all.

A twisted, disgusting habit.

Yamato looked at the Celestial Dragons and clenched her fists, angry. "Those guys are awful! I really want to punch them!"

"You'll have a chance in the future, but don't say things like that in front of others. You'll scare them," Roya said, smiling at the sweating Baccarat. "Miss Baccarat, can you forget what I just said?"

"Of course, of course!" Baccarat said, her face pale. She wasn't as calm as before; she was terrified.

If those words got out, everyone in the car would die, including her. Talking about the gods was a serious crime, especially saying something like punching them.

Isn't Black Hair a Marine?

Why does he dare to disrespect the Celestial Dragons so much!

After the Celestial Dragons left, Baccarat forced a smile, spread her hands, and pointed to Hotel Gold-Tesoro, introducing it formally. "Vice Admiral Black Hair, this is the world's biggest amusement park. If you want to make money quickly, there's no better place than here. Of course, only if you can win!"

"Sorry, I'm not interested in gambling," Roya said with a noncommittal smile. "I'm a Marine, not a gambler. Even if I want to make money, I don't want to do it in such a vulgar way."

"Then I was wrong to assume," Baccarat said, recovering from her panic and regaining her composure. She pointed to a group of Marines nearby. "But even Marines like to come here and play a few hands!"

"..."

Roya followed her gaze, his face showing his annoyance.

They really are colleagues.

Lu Yun leaned in and whispered, "Sir, that's Vice Admiral Momousagi and Vice Admiral Chaton."

"Yeah, I know," Roya sighed.

Having been to several meetings at headquarters, he knew all the headquarters vice admirals, especially since Momousagi and Chaton were competing to become admirals.

Seriously, you guys are making me look bad!

Yamato tugged at Roya's sleeve, her eyes shining. "Roya, I want to go in and play!"

"Okay, you can play whatever you want," Roya said with a helpless smile.

In a private lounge on the upper level of the hotel...

"Black Hair," Gild Tesoro said, staring at Black Hair and Kaido's daughter entering the amusement park on the monitor, his hands together, thinking deeply.

If it weren't for the Information Queen's warning, he would have tried to kill Black Hair. But now, things were different.

Black Hair and Kaido's daughter were together, and they seemed very close, not just friends or subordinates.

This meant that the information about Black Hair being Kaido's son-in-law was true!

Killing them would anger Kaido.

Then, Golden City might be destroyed. He wasn't strong enough to fight Kaido.

"You two have really caused me a problem. If it weren't for Queen, I might have fallen into your trap!" Gild Tesoro said, touching his ring, his cold gaze fixed on the two people chained up with Sea Prism Stone below.

Monet and Caesar!

"Lord Tesoro, we never meant to trick you, and we don't know what trap you're talking about!" Caesar cried, completely confused. He had woken up to find himself captured, and Gild Tesoro's attitude towards them had changed completely.

Why is my life so awful!

"Monet, Caesar, you've brought me a lot of business. Killing you now would seem a little heartless," Gild Tesoro said, smiling.

"This is Golden City. Everything can be solved with a gamble, and this time, the bet is your fate!"

"I'll bet on whether Black Hair can win!"
