They agreed!
Yet these Celestial Dragon allowed him to continue amassing wealth in this way, and their schemes were enough to give Tesoro pause for thought!
Tesoro said into the Den Den Mushi, "You proposed this bet yourself, I have no right to interfere!"
"You bastard!" Seeing that his attempt to cheat had been firmly rejected, Saint Geruro's face instantly darkened!
Haku smirked and said, "In that case, you'd better become my hostage!"
"What a joke! I am Celestial Dragon, the Son of God! How could I possibly become your Prisoner!" Saint Geruro said, enraged.
Haku said calmly, "You can cheat too! Of course, only if you can beat me! Or find someone to beat me!"
"Hmph!" Saint Geruro snorted coldly!
He turned to the members of the Knights of God beside him and said, "What are you all standing there for! Kill this guy!"
The member of the Knights of God stared coldly at Saint Geruro before him!
He said, "I don't want to die! Since you caused this mess, you'd better go and have your grandfather sort it out for you!"
"What do you mean! I'm asking you what you mean!"
"You were sent by my grandfather to protect me! How dare you disobey me!"
"Aren't you afraid of returning to Mary Geoise and facing my revenge?!" Saint Geruro said angrily.
That member of the Knights of God, also a Celestial Dragon, possessed his own pride!
He raised his head and said, "Remember this, I did come out to protect you. But that doesn't mean I'll die for your stupidity!"
Haku watched the show with great interest! If she could, she'd practically be sitting in her chair with popcorn, waiting to see if the two of them would start fighting.
However, since it's Saint Geruro who wants to stir things up, Haku can't just sit idly by!
So, while the two Celestial Dragons were arguing, Haku appeared in front of Saint Geruro.
He slowly raised his right hand and precisely pinched the hood on Saint Geruro's head!
"What do you want to do!" Saint Geruro looked at the scene before him in horror.
Haku crushed the obstructive hood and punched the other person to the ground!
"Damn it! You stupid wretch, how dare you lay a hand on me! I swear, I'll tear you to pieces!"
The Pain in his left cheek drove Saint Geruro to madness!
Haku stomped on Saint Geruro's shin, breaking his leg bone piece by piece!
A piercing scream echoed throughout the entire Casino!
Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene before them.
Unexpectedly, the Celestial Dragon were brutally beaten by Haku right before their eyes!
Haku even abused him in front of everyone.
Haku only managed to temporarily stabilize the opponent's injuries after crushing one of their feet into a bloody mess, her hands glowing green.
At the very least, before receiving the bet, he was unwilling to let the other party die so easily.
Haku turned to the members of the Knights of God eyes were filled with fear, and said, "Go and tell your people that if they don't want to bring the Tengyōkin to ransom this trash, then I'll have to take his head!"
The member of the Knights of God gave Haku a long, thoughtful look, then went to contact Mary Geoise!
With the departure of the Knights of God, the atmosphere in the Casino became even more oppressive and tense. The gamblers exchanged bewildered glances, shocked by what had just happened and worried about the potentially larger storm that might follow.
Tesoro stood in the Monitoring Room, gazing at Haku with a complex mix of emotions—admiration for Haku's courage, but also worry about the unknown consequences.
However, this idea vanished when he realized he could control Haku.
It just goes to show that rich people aren't so smart; even Tesoro himself couldn't budge Celestial Dragon!
How could anyone possibly control Haku, whom even the Celestial Dragon couldn't handle?
It can only be said that over the years, the corruption of money and the power brought by the Devil Fruit have made him somewhat arrogant!
Haku, however, remained unusually calm. He glanced around to make sure there were no other threats, then knelt down and looked directly at the agonizing yet still dignified Saint Geruro.
"Remember, what you've suffered today is merely a small retribution for your past actions," Haku's voice was deep and powerful. "This world is not a place where you Celestial Dragon can do as you please. Now, you have two choices: either obediently wait for your family to redeem you, or stay here forever."
Saint Geruro gasped for breath, his eyes filled with anger and resentment, but at this moment, he had no other way to express his dissatisfaction except through his eyes. He knew all too well that in this world where power reigned supreme, his status, though it brought him temporary privileges, was not invincible.
Time ticked by, and the entire Casino seemed to freeze in place. Everyone's attention was focused on the entrance, eagerly awaiting news from the members of the Knights of God.
Finally, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence, and members of the Knights of God returned with heavy expressions, clutching a communicator tightly in their hands.
"They agreed," he reported briefly, a hint of helplessness in his voice. "The Tengyōkin is in preparation, but it will take time."
Preparations? What a joke!
Haku understood that those Celestial Dragons were planning to send people to cause him trouble! But that was fine too, at least he wouldn't be bored out of his mind for the next couple of days!
He smiled slightly, as if everything was under his control. "Very well, tell them I am patient, but my patience has its limits. If I don't see the Tengyōkin before sunset tomorrow, then Saint Geruro's head will become my new trophy."
The member of the Knights of God gave a wry smile, based on his understanding of the Knights of God's Supreme Commander, the "King" who had once been active in the God Valley!
This matter is not going to end so easily!
At the very least, Figarland Green Ancient Saint will certainly not give up so easily!
After this commotion, Haku lost all interest in continuing to gamble.
He patted Baccarat's shapely buttocks and said, "Let's go, there's nothing fun to do here."
This time, Tanaka didn't need to take Haku into the elevator; Haku simply Teleportation downstairs with Baccarat.
Seeing Haku disappear, Saint Geruro excitedly said, "Hey! Hurry up, while that guy's gone, get me off the Golden Ship!"
Before the members of the Knights of God could react...
A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and Saint Geruro was charred black and unable to move.
"How stupid! Don't you realize you're worth a Tengyōkin now? Do you really think they'll let you off the hook, you sucker?" the knight said sarcastically.
