The Pass-Pass Fruit
Haku held the other person's waist and, supporting her, walked into the Gambling City.
At the same time, Haku spoke up, "Oh! I noticed you weren't quite there yet. I just lent money in my own name to those kids to pay off their debts. I don't think you'll mind, right?"
Baccarat snapped out of her reverie and said softly, "Mr. Haku, you are our most respected VVVIP customer in Gold City. I believe Lord Tesoro will be very understanding of your actions!"
"Really?" Haku said with interest.
Haku then thought for a moment and said, "Since I've already lent so much, I think you wouldn't mind letting me lend some more, right?"
"Of course, Mr. Haku! How much more do you want to borrow?" Baccarat quickly adjusted her mindset and returned to her original demeanor.
Haku said, "Then lend me another 500 million Belly. I think that'll be enough to win back the gambling debts I lent to those kids!"
"Five hundred million? Wait a minute, that amount is beyond my authority. I need to ask for permission!" Baccarat said after a moment's thought.
Haku shrugged and said, "Do whatever you want!"
Baccarat walked to the side, but Baccarat didn't use any communication tools to contact anyone.
Soon, Tanaka jumped out from the ground in front of Baccarat.
He handed a box of special chips to Baccarat, saying, "These are chips reserved for the Celestial Dragon. Lord Tesoro has already agreed to Haku's loan. I think you know what you're up to, right?"
As Tanaka looked at Haku's face, a hint of jealousy appeared on his face.
At the same time, he warned Baccarat, "You can seduce Haku, but don't forget who you are. Don't really get yourself into trouble!"
Baccarat glanced at Tanaka with disdain; she knew what Tanaka was really thinking.
If she could, she would still prefer to be with a handsome, capable man like Haku, who looks slim in clothes but has a muscular physique underneath.
"What a pity, "Baccarat thought to herself.
However, she quickly cheered herself up again.
In her mind, what if Haku really was controlled by Tesoro like that brute Bullet?
Then she could really become Haku's colleague.
The thought of a future office romance made Baccarat excited again.
Hearing the turmoil in the other person's mind, Haku could only sigh inwardly.
"When it comes to men, if you're handsome enough, you can't help but be a scumbag! Look at this woman, she's already trying to monopolize me."
Baccarat quickly walked over to Haku's side with her suitcase.
She deliberately held up the 500 million Belly in her hand and said, "Mr. Haku, these are the chips that Lord Tesoro promised to lend you. However, having these chips doesn't guarantee you'll win money in the Gambling City!"
"If you lose everything, you'll have to work for us!" Baccarat added with a grin.
Haku waved her hand dismissively and said, "It's nothing, just winning money. It's easy!"
Seeing Haku's foolish look, Baccarat smiled knowingly.
Inside the Casino, the place was resplendent with gold and silver, and crowds surrounded the various gambling tables, with shouts and cheers rising and falling.
Mr. Tanaka was already waiting there. He stepped forward, winked at Baccarat, and then whispered to Haku, "Mr. Haku, please come with me. We have prepared a special room for you."
With that, Tanaka led Haku to an elevator.
Many people in the hall witnessed this scene.
Many people began to whisper among themselves, knowing that Haku's photo had already spread throughout the entire Pirates world along with the World Government's bounty.
Inside the elevator, Haku stared listlessly at the wall in front of her.
Ahead of him Tanaka, several heads shorter than him. Haku sized up the man's physique for a moment.
He said, "Your Devil Fruit ability is quite unique!"
Tanaka instantly broke out in a cold sweat; he didn't understand why Haku would bring up his abilities.
It seems he hasn't used this ability in front of Haku either?
Mr. Tanaka scratched his head and said, "Haku for the compliment, Mr. Kate. This is just a small skill of mine. Compared to you, it's nothing."
Haku smiled slightly and nodded; he knew that the real contest had only just begun.
He was just teasing the person in front of him!
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Baccarat grabbed Haku's arm again and said, "Mr. Haku, look at you! You came to the Golden Ship to relax. Devil Fruit?"
Haku laughed and said, "Really? Maybe it's just a professional habit!"
"Hey! Your professional habits are a bit scary!" Tanaka Zhongxin complained.
He never imagined that he would feel his life was in danger because of his abilities!
And there's a reason why Haku was able to use Mr. Tanaka's "Pass-Pass Fruit" on top of him!
The fact that this fruit can pass through all non-living things makes it worthwhile for Haku to obtain it.
Once Haku modifies it, it can be fed into the New Marine Base!
Essentially, the New Marine Base can ignore all obstacles and reach anywhere.
If Haku wanted to go even further, she could have simply borrowed men from the Revolutionary Army.
Have Mori use his Push-Push Fruit powers to dig a hole in the Red Line directly beneath Holy Land Mary Geoise large enough to accommodate New Marine Base!
At that time, the New Marines can hide inside, thus avoiding the threat of Uranus, one of the Three Ancient Weapons!
While Haku was lost in thought, the elevator had already stopped moving.
Strangely, the elevator doors didn't open!
Mr. Tanaka extended his hand and said, "Mr. Haku, please reach out and take my hand. I'll lead you to this floor."
Haku nodded, extending his left hand without hesitation. His right hand held Baccarat's.
Soon, Mr. Tanaka led Haku through the elevator, which had stopped at the floor, using the Devil Fruit ability.
A secluded and luxurious space unfolded before Haku's eyes. This was not an ordinary floor, but a private Casino area designed specifically for VVVIP clients.
The air was filled with an even richer fragrance, and soft lighting illuminated every detail, creating an atmosphere that was both stimulating and mysterious.
"Welcome to the Secret Garden of the Gold City, Mr. Haku," Mr. Tanaka said with a smile, a hint of pride in his voice. "This is a place we've prepared for our most distinguished guests, where you can enjoy the thrill of gambling without worrying about outside disturbances."
He followed Mr. Tanaka through the bustling crowd to a gambling table surrounded by high-tech surveillance equipment. Clearly, everything here was under Tesoro's control.
