Luck-Luck Fruit Awakening

"Win the entire Gran Tesoro? That's an absolutely insane idea!"

Upon hearing the mission given by Vegapunk, Baccarat licked her lips, revealing an expression of immense excitement.

Before, without anyone backing her up, even with her incredible Devil Fruit powers, Baccarat didn't dare to really go all out. But now...

The Gran Tesoro is already in my possession!

"But before that, let's strengthen your Lucky-Lucky Fruit ability first!"

Vegapunk looked at the excited Baccarat, his face showing the interest he had shown after seeing an excellent experimental subject. This made Baccarat shiver slightly, feeling a strange sensation.

For Vegapunk, who now has experience, Awakening Baccarat's Lucky-Lucky Fruit isn't too difficult.

In particular, Paramecia Devil Fruit generally don't have any backlash. Although Awakening is difficult, once you Awakening, you can almost always succeed.

Of course, it's not easy to create an artificial version of Paramecia Devil Fruit Devil Fruit, especially those with such incredible effects. Fortunately, it's much simpler to just extract their power and then enhance the Devil Fruit itself.

The Awakening of the Lucky-Lucky Fruit itself does not require any strength, physique, or willpower. Baccarat does not need to train her body and mind like Luffy before conducting the Awakening experiment.

Conversely, during the month or so that Vegapunk extracted some blood from Baccarat, separated the Devil Fruit power, and cultivated Artificial Devil Fruit, Baccarat became the tour guide, leading a group of people directly to the Gran Tesoro for sightseeing.

In Nami's words, even though they're about to take action against the Gran Tesoro, they might as well have a couple of trips Gran Tesoro first.

Even Vegapunk, after separating the Devil Fruit energy, was directly pulled out by Hancock and Stussy to visit the Gran Tesoro.

Anyway, everything about Artificial Devil Fruit has long been mass-produced. The process of stabilizing the Devil Fruit's energy basically relies entirely on machines, so it doesn't matter if Vegapunk himself isn't around.

Besides, even if Vegapunk is not what he used to be, Hancock could easily forcibly pull him away...

On the beach, Vegapunk lay lazily on a deck chair, watching a group of women play volleyball.

Of course, the main players who play with the ball are Carina, Nami, Baccarat, and Kozuki Toki.

As for the remaining few, their combat power is slightly overpowered. Let alone a monster like Hancock, even Stussy and Nico Robin can turn a volleyball game into a killing game.

"So, boss? Do you think it looks good?! Can you tell which one has the best figure?"

Wearing a white swimsuit, Stussy sat down next to Vegapunk and asked with a grin. While laughing, Stussy squeezed closer to Vegapunk and unabashedly pointed at the figures of the girls playing with balls.

"That Lady Toki has the most voluptuous figure, probably because she's a mother. But thankfully, boss, you put her into hibernation for almost 20 years. She's still at her most beautiful now..."

"Hmm, the newly joined Carina and Baccarat are already quite good, but Nami is the youngest and her figure is improving very quickly. In another two or three years, Nami should have the best figure!"

As the girls moved about on the beach, sweat dripping down their faces and their ample bosoms jiggling, Stussy's eyes practically popped out of his head.

Vegapunk glanced helplessly at Stussy beside him. He could now see it all too well: apart from her, this Queen of the Pleasure District was a complete lesbian.

No wonder Stussy secretly became the Queen of the Pleasure District; logically, being the owner of the Umbrella Corporation is far more prestigious than being the Queen of the Pleasure District. Previously, Vegapunk thought Stussy was doing it for intelligence, but now it seems she was just doing it as a hobby.

"So what do you think of my figure?"

A slightly arrogant and aloof voice rang in Stussy's ears. Stussy's face stiffened slightly, and when he looked up, he saw Hancock wearing a swimsuit.

"Uh... Queen Hancock's figure is definitely the best among all women! How can anyone else compare to you?!"

Without saying a word, Stussy began to flatter Hancock without any restraint. Even this somewhat strong-willed lesbian knew that she, the Queen of the Pleasure District, was nothing in front of the real queen Hancock.

Hancock gave a soft, cold snort and raised her head:

"You don't need to tell me, everyone should know this! How could your mortals possibly compare to my beauty?"

Stussy wasn't angry after hearing Hancock's words. Instead, she looked at the arrogant Hancock with a hint of infatuation. However, Hancock didn't react much. After all, too many people looked at her like that, both men and women, and Stussy was no different.

However, Stussy was clearly different from Hancock's admirers. Her soft, boneless body clung to Vegapunk, and she gently leaned close to Vegapunk ear, exhaling a faint, sweet fragrance as she whispered:

"Boss, when you hang out with Hancock, can you take me along?"

Vegapunk almost rolled his Byakugan, and patted Stussy on the shoulder:

"You really have a death wish... If Hancock wanted to kill you, I couldn't stop her!"

"But if you, boss, are willing, Hancock will definitely be willing..."

With an alluring smile, Stussy whispered seductively in Vegapunk's earlobe:

"By the way, boss, aren't you interested in these new girls? If you'd like to take me along, I can personally escort them to your room!"

Vegapunk's breathing quickened instantly. Which executive could resist such temptation? The hand that was originally on Stussy's back gently stroked down, making the smile on Stussy's face even sweeter.

In short, after enjoying a decadent and intoxicating lifestyle for more than half a month, Vegapunk finally managed to break free through sheer willpower and return to the Laboratory.

At this point, the energy of the Lucky Devil Fruit, separated from Baccarat's blood and body tissue, has stabilized. All that remains is to extract the Lucky-Lucky Fruit from Baccarat's body and input this energy into the Lucky-Lucky Fruit to create Lucky-Lucky Fruit that can directly Awakening a user's deity.

Having already gone through several experiments, this one was no exception. In just a few hours, Baccarat fully Awakening her Lucky-Lucky Fruit powers.

The fully Awakening Lucky-Lucky Fruit ability allows the user to extract luck from a wide range of others, but the speed is far slower than direct physical contact.

Direct physical contact can drain all of someone's luck instantly, no matter how much luck they have. However, remote extraction takes time. With Baccarat's full power, it would take an ordinary person about a minute. The stronger the person, the higher their resistance. If it were Marine Admiral, it would probably take a whole day to drain all their luck.

But this is already a terrifying ability. Having just Awakening, Baccarat's extraction range is already over a thousand meters. In other words, Baccarat can freely extract anyone's luck within a thousand meters centered on herself, or even directly extract everyone's luck, almost like a small domain.

This is only just Awakening, and there should still be a lot of room for development. According to Vegapunk's estimate, at least until this field develops to cover the entire Gran Tesoro, there should be no bottleneck problems.

Even if Baccarat does nothing and just sits in the Gran Tesoro Tenten, she can still draw luck from everyone in the Gran Tesoro.

Of course, in order to maintain a steady and sustainable approach, it's impossible to completely drain the other party's luck like we are now. Taking away half of the luck of gamblers and the like in a day would be enough.

With a great deal of luck at his disposal, Vegapunk had a premonition that many of his research would make groundbreaking progress.

Although Baccarat has always been very successful in the Gran Tesoro thanks to the power of the Lucky-Lucky Fruit, she has always kept a low profile. At most, there are rumors in the Gran Tesoro that she is the "Red Hair Goddess of Luck".

Although Gild Tesoro, had perfect control over the Gran Tesoro, given Baccarat's abilities, if he really wanted to conceal them, just like Vegapunk had difficulty finding Baccarat before, Tesoro naturally wouldn't be able to discover the true nature of Baccarat's abilities.

Of course, the Lucky-Lucky Fruit isn't a panacea. When Baccarat really starts to exert her full strength and prepares to gamble on the Gran Tesoro, she naturally no longer hides her sharpness. If Tesoro still can't see through it at this point, then the Lucky-Lucky Fruit should be called the Brain-Depressing Fruit.

The largest casino in Gran Tesoro features crystal chandeliers on the ceiling, magnificent sculptures, a fountain sprinkled with gold dust, scantily clad and pretty dealers, and a large number of well-dressed gamblers coming and going, creating a luxurious and lively scene.

Baccarat swayed gracefully as she slowly walked in, a haughty smile on her face like that of a queen. Upon seeing Baccarat, the gamblers in the casino all made way for her, looking at the Red Hair beauty with reverence.

The Gran Tesoro full of beautiful women. Unless you are as beautiful as Hancock, an ordinary beauty might get some attention here, but it would never have the same effect as clearing out the entire city.

Vegapunk and his large group of beautiful women have been wandering around the Gran Tesoro for so many days without attracting any attention. While Baccarat's Lucky-Lucky Fruit certainly played a role, it also shows that the customers of the Gran Tesoro are used to seeing beautiful women.

The reason these customers now look at Baccarat with such admiration is that Baccarat, who no longer hides her identity, has easily made billions of Beli in the Gran Tesoro thanks to her incredible and terrifying luck!

"Miss Baccarat, this way please!"

Several stiff-faced waiters, their foreheads damp with sweat, walked directly to Baccarat and guided her to the VIP seats in the very center.

"It seems like they've changed the game again today! Who's betting with me this time? Oh right, the one I bet with last time, isn't he now the number one gambling master in Gran Tesoro?"

Baccarat spoke casually with a smile, but it made the waiters walk a little stiffly. After finally walking the last part of the way, the group arrived at the largest gambling table.

Baccarat settled into her seat with ease, glanced around, and when she saw a tall, Haki man adorned with gold jewelry from head to toe, a smile immediately spread across her face:

"I never expected that it would be the Gild Tesoro himself who would come. I am truly humbled and trembling with fear!"

Indeed, that fashionably dressed man, who seemed to be radiating golden light from head to toe, was Devil Fruit User, the master of the Gran Tesoro, the Gild Tesoro!

"Miss Baccarat is no ordinary woman. Even an ordinary woman couldn't earn billions of Beli from the Gran Tesoro! Just yesterday, Miss Baccarat even caused the gambling master I hired at a high price to have a heart attack and die from vomiting blood!"

Baccarat has already made billions from the entire Gran Tesoro. Tesoro isn't stupid; he's obviously figured out that the other party is after him. It would be strange if he didn't show up.

Hearing Tesoro's words, Baccarat covered her mouth and chuckled softly:

"So, that gambling master is dead? What a pity! He was so petty. He only lost a dozen or so games and lost more than 7 billion Beli."

"So today, is Mr. Tesoro preparing to personally take on this young lady and make a bet?"

Tesoro waved his hand and spoke calmly:

"Forget it, I won't make a fool of myself. My gambling skills are not good enough to beat Miss Baccarat. I'm here today to discuss other matters with Miss Baccarat!"

"I wonder if Miss Baccarat would be interested in joining the Gran Tesoro?"

"Joining Gran Tesoro? That sounds pretty good. What are the benefits like?"

Baccarat looked at the Gild Tesoro with a half-smile on her face:

"Moreover, I brought over 10 billion Beli from the Gran Tesoro, but I don't know how these Beli will be calculated after joining the Gran Tesoro?"

"Miss Baccarat is joking!"

Tesoro's previously serious face broke into a sinister smile, his voice carrying a hint of coldness:

"You don't really think that after taking hundreds of billions of Beli, you can leave the Gran Tesoro without any scruples, do you?"

"There are many pirates on the high seas, and Gran Tesoro is a place where all sorts of people mingle. Miss Baccarat might already be being targeted. If she leaves and is immediately robbed by pirates, the loss will be more than just Beli!"

"Really? I thought it was Gran Tesoro that didn't want me to leave!"

"However, if it's just a pirate, then please rest assured, Mr. Tesoro! I do have a little bit of self-defense ability."

"If all else fails, then I can win the entire Gran Tesoro and then I won't have to leave, right?"
