"Tsk tsk, that's really impressive! But I'll say it again, Bullet is my trophy. I don't want to go through all this trouble only to get nothing in return." Tesoro said, staring at Haku.

Bullet's forehead veins bulged as he angrily said, "That's enough, you two! I'm not anyone's spoils of war!"

However, neither Haku nor Tesoro paid any attention to Bullet, since Haku Tesoro currently in control.

Haku exudes an imposing aura, but she is not the kind of person who is unreasonable.

He said, "So you're determined to protect Bullet?"

"That's right! Unless you bet against me and beat me!" Tesoro stared intently at Haku.

In fact, he could have used his Devil Fruit ability to control Haku long ago!

However, having amassed great wealth, power, and authority over the years, he began to become arrogant.

Haku chuckled softly, a hint of amusement and confidence in her smile, "A bet? Interesting. But since you're so confident, why don't we go all out?"

Tesoro raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued by Haku's next words. "Oh? Do you have any more exciting suggestions?"

Haku slowly walked up to Tesoro, their eyes meeting in mid-air, as if sparks were about to fly.

"You've won! Both I and my New Marines are now under your command!"

"Interesting! What if I lose?" Tesoro asked with great interest.

"Then your Golden Ship and all your wealth will belong to me!"

Tesoro's expression changed slightly, but he still smiled and said, "This is really interesting. I can accept this bet."

In Tesoro's view, none of the stakes mattered. Even if he lost, he would simply renege on his decision and take control of Haku.

Haku seemed to see through Tesoro's thoughts, but he didn't care, only a mysterious smile playing on his lips, "Tesoro, you seem very confident you can win. However, before you decide, I want to remind you of something."

Tesoro raised an eyebrow, signaling Haku to continue.

Haku's eyes deepened, as if she could see into people's hearts. "In this world, true power doesn't come from wealth, strength, or power, but from the heart and beliefs. You may possess all material wealth, but if you lose it all, then it all becomes meaningless."

Tesoro's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his smile, "Haku, you are indeed an interesting person. However, I believe in my abilities, and I also believe in my 'luck.' I'm determined to win this bet."

Haku smiled slightly and said nothing more. He knew that this bet was not only a test of wisdom and courage, but also a contest of their beliefs and determination.

Before Haku left, he said, "Since you're the host, you can decide what to bet on!"

Thus, the two officially reached a bet and began preparing for their next match.

Nothing was said that night, but the atmosphere on the entire Golden Ship became serious.

The following day, Haku was led out by the early riser Baccarat to wander the entire Golden Ship again!

As Haku leisurely strolled through the streets of the Golden Ship, his Observation Haki detected someone following him at a distance.

Haku could sense the anxiety in her eyes, as if she had something to say to her.

'I don't think I know this person,' Haku thought to himself, but after a moment's thought, he said to Baccarat, 'The barbecue over there is pretty good, go buy me some!'

Baccarat gave Haku a reproachful look, but she still obediently went to the barbecue stand to buy some barbecue for Haku.

"Great, Baccarat is gone!" Carina exclaimed in delight.

"Really! Is she making you so happy that she's temporarily leaving?" A voice rang in Carina's ear.

Haku's Breathes Fire caused Carina to have a certain stress response!

Snap!

A crisp sound rang out, and Haku, speechless, looked at the ankle she was holding and said, "Hey! Are you trying to kill me with that dangerous back kick?"

Carina's high heels were very close to Haku's genitals!

"You pervert! Who told you to get so close to me!" Carina tried to break free from Haku's grasp.

But she didn't have enough strength to support the subsequent movements, and as a result, she could only fall backward into Haku's arms.

Haku teased, "I've been seeing you following me around for so long, I thought you were trying to woo me!"

Carina's cheeks flushed instantly. She struggled to break free from Haku's embrace, but the more she struggled, the closer their bodies pressed together.

She was filled with shame and anger, glaring at Haku with wide eyes, her voice urgent and panicked. "Let go of me! Who... who wants to pursue you! Don't flatter yourself!"

Seeing this, Haku's smile widened. He easily released his grip, allowing Carina to regain her footing, but his eyes still held a hint of mockery. "Alright, since it's not about pursuing her, what are you trying to do, sneaking around behind me like this?"

After regaining her footing, Carina immediately maintained a safe distance from Haku. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and then said seriously, "I'm here to warn you, Tesoro is not someone you can easily deal with. He's cunning and treacherous, and... he has secrets that no one knows!"

Haku already understood what the other party wanted to do, and he said directly, "No way! Tesoro's entire Golden Ship will become my spoils! You'd better save your energy and not try to take the Golden Ship!"

"What do you mean!" Carina had intended to persuade Haku step by step to plan the entire Golden Ship with her.

But she sensed from Haku's tone that Haku was determined to get her hands on the entire Golden Ship.

Haku ignored Carina's conflicting thoughts.

He continued, "You should hand over the letter you're carrying! It's clear your real purpose is to deliver what you're holding to me on someone's behalf!"

"You scoundrel!" Carina spat at Haku viciously.

She believed that Haku had seen her exposed chest when she fell into his arms.

Otherwise, how could Haku have pinpointed the letter's location so accurately!

Haku awkwardly touched her nose.

To be honest, he did see some nice scenery, so he doesn't deny that.

Haku's expression turned serious as she said, "You should hand me the letter you have first! I want to know why she's contacting me at this time."

Carina looked puzzled; she didn't understand why she hadn't said anything.

Why would Haku know who asked me to deliver a letter to him?
