The person is wearing a straw hat, and starts with the power of words!

"The Gluttony Fruit... Anyone interested?" Sima Di asked with interest. "This thing can freely combine the items it swallows. If it's researched well and awakened... it should be able to swallow ability users and gain their abilities, right?"

......... .... ...

Sima Di stated...

They came here specifically to cause trouble.

Passing through the handprint passage,

The super VIP reception room across the street was empty, clearly having been cleared out in advance.

"Clap clap clap!"

Tesoro sat on the head seat, clapping his hands and smiling as he looked at Luffy.

"You guys really put on a good show for me. As a reward..."

"In the next bet, if I lose, I'll pay out ten times the amount!"

"But those of you who lose will not need to."

"After all, I have too much money, so I just want to have some fun."

Listen to how pretentious that is!

but......

"Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed," Sima Di said regretfully. "Because you can't give me ten times the bet I'm about to place, after all... you only have one life."

Tesoro's face darkened!

He looked past Sima Di and at Luffy.

"Are you still the captain? How dare your subordinates ride on your head!" Tesoro mocked.

Luffy, however, didn't care at all.

"He's smarter than me, so listening to him is definitely the right thing to do. All I have to do is fight!" Luffy grinned.

That's clearly what they really think.

Even Tesoro couldn't figure it out.

It really is......

What a carefree attitude!

"You're saying you want to bet my life?" Tesoro scoffed. "Then can you come up with the corresponding chips? Don't give me gold or money, after all, I have 2000 trillion Berries in cash alone!"

Showing off wealth again!

If you don't get targeted, who will?

“Of course it wouldn’t be something as vulgar as money,” Sima Di said. “Perfect timing, they’re here.”

Next second,

Zoro and Jinbe walked in through the handprint passage, with Zoro dragging along a man whose head had been beaten into a pig's head.

"Zoro, show me." Sima Di nodded in acknowledgment.

"Huh?" Zoro was taken aback.

“Let me handle this,” Jinbe said, “Zoro-kun, please give me the Devil Fruit separation potion.”

"Oh."

After obtaining the Devil Fruit Separation Potion, Jinbe took the fruit plate from the side and placed it next to the pig-headed man before uncorking the bottle and administering the Devil Fruit Separation Potion to him.

Soon,

The peach at the very top of the fruit platter has been deformed into the shape of a mouth biting together, becoming the Swallow Fruit!

This caused Tesoro to widen his eyes in shock!

How can this be?

"As you can see," Sima Di said confidently, "if you win, I will give you the formula for this Devil Fruit separation potion. Otherwise... your life is mine, how about it?"

Tesoro stood up excitedly!

How many years!

Finally, he encountered something exciting again!

"Devil Fruit separation potion? I want it! Let's bet!" Tesoro laughed maniacally, "With the formula, I'll have money and manpower, and I can trample world governments under my feet!"

Oh open?

I didn't expect Tesoro to be so ambitious.

So it seems...

Perhaps there's a chance in subsequent negotiations?

but......

The first hurdle to overcome is Bakala, this "lucky one".

She was incredibly lucky...

How can you win at gambling?

One more chapter to go! (Chapter 1)

8. Conqueror's Haki suppressing the Straw Hat? A mini Marineford War!

How can you win a gamble against a lucky chosen one?

Sima Di's solution was...

A burly man walked out carrying two heavy metal dice in his left and right hands, and threw them on the ground with a loud "boom".

The quality is evident!

"I am Daisy, the dealer for today!"

He then picked up the large, bell-shaped dice cup next to him, covered the metal dice, and shook it vigorously.

That commotion!

It was like two swordsmen locked in fierce combat, the clanging of metal against metal ringing out incessantly.

"Boom-"

The large dice cup was slammed hard onto the floor.

The setup looks good.

It's just a pity...

Sima Di glanced at Usopp, who shook his head subtly with a strange expression.

His Observation Haki couldn't penetrate that material!

"Don't even think about cheating," Baccarat said confidently. "This is made of a special material that can block most ability detection, especially effective against Observation Haki, which has the ability to see through things."

And this thing?

Just like Superman's X-ray vision can't penetrate lead, right?

"No wonder you're so confident," Sima Di laughed.

Although the preparations were very good...

But it still couldn't stop Sima Di's mental scan!

"So, does the customer want to bet on an odd number or an even number?" Bakara asked confidently.

Should I bet on the larger or smaller bet?

"There's no rush yet."

Sima Di stepped forward and stood side by side with Bakala.

"Om-"

An invisible wave spread out, enveloping only himself and Bakala.

Bakara frowned as if sensing something, as if something had left her.

But luck is an ethereal thing, and even as a user of the Luck-Luck Fruit, she cannot quantify luck.

So after being on guard for a while and making sure nothing was wrong...

She simply assumed she had overreacted.

And in fact...

She has lost the power of the "Luck Fruit" and has become an ordinary person.
