The golden giant rose before the city of Gran Tesoro, while the people looked on in fear. Now able to move, they quickly started to flee, drenched in Shirahoshi's water, as the feet of the golden giant created by Tesoro stomped on the ground, immediately cracking it. He looked frustrated, with a bloodied face, toward where Luffy should be, at the entrance of the building still filled with raised debris, until he saw a small purple flash coming from there, but quite luminous, illuminating the area with an ethereal color.

When Tesoro narrowed his eyes, in the next moment, he disappeared. And before he could react, his giant suddenly flew backward. When he looked down, he saw flames exploding, feeling the enormous heat, as Luffy punched his stomach so hard that it generated an impact of flames, piercing it with a fire ray, melting all the gold as soon as it came into contact with his flames. The flames continued running through the ship, melting anything they touched, while the giant soon after flew backward, smashing into buildings, and Tesoro was stunned inside it, trying to regain his balance.

As he finally stopped flying backward uncontrollably, he ended up crashing into a final building, exploding and as if disintegrating into it like a throne, but all full of debris. The giant raised its arm before placing it to the side, while it had a huge hole in its belly, struggling to get up. But then a figure appeared from above like lightning, kicking its head with the same giant, forcing it down again as it crashed, exploding into the building even more.

"You really think you can beat me like this, Tesoro?" Luffy commented calmly, as he looked down at him, standing on the dented part of the giant's head where he had landed.

"You think you can stop me here?!" Tesoro immediately exclaimed, while the golden hand advanced again, but as it approached him, it exploded on impact where Luffy was. But he quickly raised his hand, immediately stopping the fist with a snap.

Luffy mocked it as he lifted his hand, appearing to hold the giant hand with one arm after the impact explosion finally became visible.

"How did someone so strong end up here?!" Tesoro was frustrated. After all, he wasn't even surprised by Luffy's abilities and strength. He was much stronger than any pirate Tesoro had faced before. He himself had no confidence to win, but his streak of bad luck with someone like this showing up here was frustrating.

Luffy continued holding the golden arm and simply jumped up, even pulling the giant along with him. As he turned his body, Luffy lifted it like a jiu-jitsu move, slamming the giant down with his arm over his shoulder, exploding on the ground.

"We have to get out of here!!"

"Quick, to our ships! Something's happening here."

"We can take the gold now!!"

More and more people were getting scared, while others wanted to take advantage of the situation.

The giant tried to get up, but due to the huge hole in its chest, its mobility was no longer the same. And before he could react, Luffy appeared beside his chin and punched with pure strength. This immediately crushed it, sending it flying and being dragged by the punched face, as it crashed into another golden building.

Baccarat appeared at this moment on the street, looking shocked, seeing Tesoro's enormous golden puppet being punched like that, while Carina was also beside her, looking with her mouth open and eyes wide.

"Hey, Luffy! What are you doing?" At that moment, Nami appeared flapping her wings, while Vivi also accompanied her with her body transformed into air. Shirahoshi also slid through the air, while Lucy and Hachi also appeared using Geppo to fly.

"Ah, about that..." Luffy smiled at them as he continued walking toward the destroyed building. "I'm dealing with a friend," he commented.

"Who's your friend here?!" Immediately the giant made an effort to get out, while Tesoro, all bruised, looked at Luffy frustrated, reaching the level of hatred for this pirate making him see how all his efforts were in vain.

"Come on, Tesoro, you're too emotional. I just want to invite you to my crew. I'm sure you won't regret it," Luffy commented.

"I'd rather die! I will never serve anyone again!" Tesoro exclaimed.

"Hey, man, I know you don't have a pretty story, that your life was tough... but that's not the kind of servitude I'm talking about. Don't compare it to those shitty offers from Merry Geoise, they'd make..." Luffy commented, but Tesoro didn't even listen.

"If I can't beat you, at least I'll take revenge on one of your companions and take you down with me!" Tesoro said, and the next moment, he tried to punch Luffy's companions in the air as soon as they were within his reach. They were surprised but also prepared; after all, they were much stronger than they were two years ago.

However, Luffy wasn't about to let something like that happen. Quickly, he moved with a flash, increasing his speed. Tesoro didn't even have a chance to carry out his plan and was caught off guard as his entire world spun around. Luffy broke through the golden giant's walls, penetrated through to Tesoro, and pulled him out from the other side, easily shattering Tesoro's armor, before throwing him down with such force that the ground began to give way for over 100 meters, breaking buildings and everything else around them as Tesoro was finally dragged to a halt.

Luffy landed on the ground while the giant kneeled behind him with a great explosion, beginning to fall without its master controlling its power.

"Hey, man, attacking my companions in front of me? I might not be so kind if someone does that again..." Luffy commented before disappearing in the next moment, advancing toward Tesoro.

Tesoro was badly injured on the ground and tried to get up, seeing that his arm was broken. "Ah... that bastard..." He began coughing blood, touching his stomach and realizing that several ribs were broken too. "He really got me... so I ended up here..." He murmured, looking up at the dark sky.

"But... I won't give in...! I won't go through that again!" He muttered with determination once more, seeing flashbacks he didn't want to remember. When he saw Luffy approaching, he quickly created a dagger with the gold he still had nearby and tried to stab his own neck. After all, he preferred death over becoming a slave again, like when he had been a slave to the Tenryuubito for many years.

However, just as the blade was mere inches from his neck, he suddenly froze, stopping in place, his eyes trembling but unable to speak. Luffy had once again stopped time with his ability.

Luffy whistled as he approached. "Man, you're really going to waste your life like this? You didn't even listen to me yet. You're lucky my ability recharged after a while. It's a pity I can't use it all the time; it has a cooldown limit," Luffy commented, then looked at the man who had been about to kill himself.

"Now that you can hear me without doing anything stupid, I'm going to give you my proposal. I don't see why I should force you to join my crew, but you have three options. The first: you kill yourself, and I take all your stuff—after all, your gold is very interesting to me. The second: I let you live, but you still don't accept my invitation... You give up everything you have here, since you tried to trick me and steal from me... So, I intend to take everything for myself, and you leave this ship with a goat and anyone else who wants to go with you," Luffy said before continuing with the last option.

"And we have the third option, the one I hope you accept: you join my fleet and help me reach the One Piece. After that, we'll wage war on the world, and in that war..." Luffy looked directly at Tesoro as if he knew his past and suffering. "I... plan to destroy the World Government, Merry Geoise, and consequently, the Tenryuubito," Luffy said with a sinister smile, watching Tesoro's stunned expression.

"I know this is sudden, but I also know you want revenge against the Tenryuubito. Even though you let them enter here, you hate them deeply... You know I've already killed several of them. I even thought you'd be my fan," Luffy commented. He really believed Tesoro would see him as a hero or something like that. After all, Tesoro was a victim of the Tenryuubito, and Luffy had executed one in front of the whole world during the last war.

Then Luffy spoke again. "My proposal is simple: once I find Roger's treasure, the World Government won't sit still. Of course, they'll act before that, but not on the scale of when that treasure is claimed by someone. And we'll fight an intense war that will involve the entire world. I know that we and the Tenryuubito can no longer coexist. That's why I plan to destroy the entire Tenryuubito system and the World Government." He said, while Tesoro just listened.

"Now I'm going to move your hand away from your neck, and you'll make your decision." Luffy said, approaching and moving Tesoro's hand, placing him in a position where his current speed wouldn't kill him, and he could even stop the blade. He stepped back from Tesoro and waited only a few seconds for the effect of time at 0.0001 to end in that space.

At that moment, Tesoro quickly pushed the knife toward himself but stopped, unable to do it at that distance, as he looked at Luffy cautiously.

"You... you really want to do this?" He asked, hesitantly, even with his face covered in blood.

"Of course. I admit I've never suffered at their hands, but I know how bad they are. They're the scum of this world, and no one has done anything against them in 800 years. It's time for someone to act in this era. After all, this is my era." Luffy responded firmly.

"Why are you doing this? What's your goal?" Tesoro asked, still cautious, wanting to know who Monkey D. Luffy was.

"There are many reasons. Maybe I want to free the countries under their oppressive regime and give them autonomy. I want to be the Emperor of the Sea and for no one to question my sovereignty in this world. I want to create a better world for my children and to live peacefully with my family. I also do it for greed; after all, I want my name to be eternalized. A man needs goals in his life. Some small, others big, and mine is basically to change the history of this world. There are also other reasons I don't fully understand yet." Luffy said, thoughtful about the cryptic things Rayleigh had mentioned during their training a year ago, but he hadn't paid much attention to it.

"Maybe it's one of these reasons... or maybe it's all of them at once. But my goal is clear: I want you to help me, Tesoro. That's why I've always been interested in you and why I'm inviting you to join under my flag. Together, I'll give you the chance to get revenge on everything those people did to you." Luffy said.

Tesoro seemed to be thinking, evaluating whether Luffy was lying or telling the truth. In the end, he lowered his golden blade, no longer pointing it at his own neck.
