He knows his own abilities?!
No, that's impossible!
Bakara never revealed the characteristics of her abilities to anyone. To deal with other powerful gamblers, she simply touched them and absorbed their luck to defeat them.
She's kept it all hidden for so many years, so how did this man find out?
However, Baccarat is a professional.
After a brief moment of shock, she came to her senses, pressed the back of her hand to her lips, and giggled:
"You're joking, Vice Admiral Jinni. I wouldn't dare do anything out of line for a high-ranking naval officer. I just wanted to shake your hand, after all, you are my idol."
Do you think I'd believe you, you old hag?
Kuro rolled his eyes.
This woman is the one he should be most wary of in the entire Golden City.
The power of the Fortune Fruit has been on his watch list ever since he entered this world.
A person's fortune depends not only on the course of history but also on luck.
When luck runs out, even the strongest person can slip and fall into the sea.
"Well, since we're not shaking hands, let's go inside."
Seeing that Kuro remained silent, Bakura also kept quiet, walked to a sealed golden door in front of her, and knocked on it.
QQ.
Suddenly, a person with a large face, dressed in what looked like a ninja outfit, walked out of the golden gate. This person's head was enormous, while his body appeared normal, making him look like a giant balloon.
His mouth was pursed, like the mouth of that blue wish-granting cat.
"This is Mr. Tanaka, the head of security here, and the person who will greet you and take you in," Bakara introduced with a smile.
Hello.
Tanaka placed his right hand on his left chest, bowed to him and Kake, and said, "I will lead you in. Please take my hand."
"Oh? You just passed through here?"
"What a convenient ability," Kake said in surprise, grabbing Tanaka's hand.
"Hehehe, you flatter me, Vice Admiral Chaton. I am a Transcendental Person who ate the 'Transcendental Fruit,' and I can pass through any non-living thing." Tanaka let out a unique, strange laugh.
Piercing Fruit...
Kuro narrowed his eyes. This ability seemed to be an advanced version of the Water-Water Fruit, with similar functions, but it offered an extra layer of convenience compared to the Water-Water Fruit, which allowed the user to travel anywhere.
"Let's go."
Kuro pressed down on Kaji's shoulder.
If he remembered correctly, this ability allowed him to pass through using the associated force.
As expected, Tanaka, holding Kakei in one hand and Baccarat in the other, walked directly through the sealed golden door, taking Kuro's body with him.
After passing through the golden gate, a spacious area came into view.
Kuro arrived at a location on the second floor, below which was a large casino. Two giants dressed in sumo costumes sat cross-legged on either side of him, while other masked tourists gambled nearby. Behind the two sumo giants, in the center, stood a large clock.
"So, this is the VIP area."
Bakara laughed and said, "Please have some fun first, I'll go call the boss."
"Oh? Kuro?"
As soon as they entered, a gentle voice sounded beside them.
A tall, beautiful woman with long legs and a cloak walked over and greeted them with a smile, "You've come here too."
"And me too, Gion!"
Jiaji exclaimed excitedly, "I'm here too!"
"Oh, Kaji, you're here too."
Gion glanced at Kakei and said something expressionlessly, as if she were looking at a passerby.
Kuro, with a cigar in his mouth, said, "Long time no see, Gion. I'm here to take care of some business."
Gion smiled and said, "I'm here on vacation, but if you need any help, I can assist you."
"Thanks then."
Kuro glanced downwards, pausing at a person wearing an eyepatch and mask. "That man looks familiar..."
The man wore a purple mask and a rather tight-fitting robe. He had a long chin and a small, graying mustache, indicating his advanced age. He was currently visibly aroused, gambling with the person opposite him on something.
That is...
Kaki also looked over, paused for a moment, and said, "'Red Dragon' Sig?"
Kuro's fingers twitched slightly.
"Don't make a move, Kuro."
Gion looked over and said, "This is a neutral zone authorized by the World Government. Neither pirates nor the Navy are allowed to take action here."
"I see, Vice Admiral Momousagi is right."
Suddenly, a man wearing sunglasses and a top hat came down the grand staircase opposite. He was tall and strong, dressed in a platinum suit, with a gold necklace around his neck and gold rings on his fingers, and he walked down step by step.
The Golden Emperor, Gild Tezzolo.
Upon seeing the newcomers, the gambler, Basig, glanced at them and then looked at the navy personnel opposite him, revealing a provocative smile.
Tesoro waved his hand, the man chuckled, and then stepped back.
He looked directly at Kuro across from him and smiled: "Vice Admiral Jinni, every place has its own rules, it's best to abide by them. The Navy can't interfere in other people's national affairs."
"Yo ho..."
Kuro looked up at Tesoro from the steps. "Now everything can be called a country? It's good to be rich, Gild Tesoro."
Tesoro laughed and said, "Your Pegasus Island property is also world-renowned. I often hear the name 'Navy's Resort Paradise'."
"Alright, I'm not listening to your nonsense."
Kuro waved his hand: "I'm very busy. I can spend some money at your place after I'm done, provided you cooperate with me. It's normal for a country recognized by the World Government to cooperate with the Navy, right?"
"That won't do."
Tesoro chuckled softly, "My rule here is neutrality. I'm open for business, and I treat everyone as a guest. A few hundred million or a billion bounties on a few pirates doesn't matter to me. I have more money than I can spend. Want to catch pirates? Do you want that money and credit? Credit can be bought with money. If you beg me, I'll give you money."
Boom!!
Just as Tesoro finished speaking, a loud bang came from above, and the surrounding golden wall dented inward.
The loud noise startled everyone around.
"Money isn't everything."
Kuro said calmly, "For example, natural disasters or something. The ocean is very dangerous. One wrong move and you can easily capsize. If a big wave comes and swallows you up, that would be bad."
These words made Tesoro's face darken, and he stared at Kuro without saying a word.
Kuro looked up at him, while Gion and Kake stood on either side of him.
Jiaji shrugged and chuckled, "This is interesting."
Gion smiled and slowly moved her right hand toward the gold brooch at her waist.
