Chapter 210

Tesoro's proposal to fly Shang Qi's flag stemmed from considerations that went far beyond merely seeking protection for his own territory. He harbored a grand vision in his heart: to carve out a vast and boundless domain for Shang Qi in the New World. After all, in Tesoro's eyes, it was simply unacceptable that a magnificent Emperor of the Sea with the highest bounty in the world did not even possess a single secure territory of his own in the New World. Tesoro, Montblanc, and Jinbe all fervently hoped that Shang Qi would establish a stronghold in the New World and become an emperor who truly sheltered them. As for the administration of territories, every Emperor of the Sea in the New World naturally entrusted such heavy responsibilities to trusted subordinates, allowing Shang Qi to focus solely on dealing with opponents of his own caliber.
