Holy Cross Ability, World Harmony
Haku grinned at Tesoro, showing her teeth.
He certainly knew why his chips were the same as Tesoro's!
Because he did it on purpose.
Although Haku's Observation Haki cannot penetrate the barrier that blocks Observation Haki.
But Haku was able to foresee the final outcome thanks to her powerful Observation Haki!
Therefore, even though Haku and Tesoro bet on numbers of different colors.
However, he can still control how many chips he can win!
Haku's eyes gleamed with confidence and cunning. He used his exquisite control over Observation Haki to foresee the fate of every single chip!
Even in this meticulously designed Casino, the rules seemed unable to completely restrain his wisdom.
Tesoro knew that the next round would decide the outcome!
So he resisted the urge to look at Haku's smug face.
Haku gently swirled the wine in his glass, the red liquid rotating softly within, much like the chess game he had already meticulously planned in his mind.
He deliberately chose a betting style completely different from Tesoro's, not only to confuse his opponent but also to maintain absolute initiative in the game.
The roulette wheel below started spinning again, taking advantage of Haku's attention being drawn to it.
Tesoro gave Baccarat a subtle wink!
Baccarat knew that it was her turn to take the stage next.
She began to remove her black gloves and slowly approached Haku.
Haku's lips curled up; he knew exactly what Baccarat was doing.
Therefore, he was already looking forward to what was to come.
Just as Baccarat was about to approach Haku, a banana peel suddenly appeared on the ground.
That was the Haku had eaten and deliberately left on the ground!
This banana peel was enchanted by Haku using the Devil Fruit ability, allowing him to control its location at any time.
Logically speaking, Baccarat, who possesses the Lucky-Lucky Fruit, should have been able to easily avoid this sudden "trap," since her ability can distort probability and turn unfavorable situations into favorable ones.
However, Haku's understanding of Baccarat's abilities went far beyond that. He knew that although Baccarat's Lucky-Lucky Fruit could bring all sorts of incredible good fortune, this ability was not invincible, especially when facing a well-planned opponent.
Baccarat's toes were about to touch the seemingly harmless banana peel!
Suddenly, her movements paused subtly. This was a subtle change that Haku had detected through her Observation Haki. She knew that Baccarat had noticed something was amiss, but she had underestimated Haku's control over the details of the battlefield.
In that instant, Haku used the power of the Float-Float Fruit to silently adjust the position of the banana peel, causing it to slide towards Baccarat's feet in an almost imperceptible trajectory.
Baccarat tried to adjust her pace, but her luck seemed to be cleverly "neutralized" at that moment. She lost her balance, slipped slightly to the ground, and let out a cry of surprise.
Unfortunately, Baccarat, who had originally intended to use the banana peel as a springboard, was about to fall forward and land on Haku.
However, Baccarat was falling backward, and she 'as desired' fell into Tesoro's arms!
Baccarat's hand had already touched Tesoro's body; it was obvious that Baccarat's troublesome Lucky-Lucky Fruit ability had been activated!
The moment Baccarat touched Tesoro, her expression changed drastically; she knew that her abilities would have unforeseen consequences for Tesoro.
She originally only wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to Haku, but she didn't expect that her Lucky-Lucky Fruit ability would drain Tesoro's luck at such an important moment.
"No... this is impossible!" Baccarat exclaimed in a low voice. She quickly released Tesoro, trying to salvage the situation, but it was too late.
Tesoro felt a strange sense of unease. He stared at Baccarat with anger and shock, having misinterpreted Baccarat true intentions. He roared, "You! You actually..."
Haku watched from the sidelines with a detached eye, both surprised and pleased by this unexpected turn of events.
Keep in mind that after he dealt with the Big Mom, his system mission had already rewarded him with the Quincy ability system!
Most importantly, Haku possessed the Schrift 'World Harmony'!
By directly inflicting misfortune upon the other party through Haku's contact, the things that have been misfortune become extremely vulnerable in the face of her power.
Thus, Haku had already endowed Baccarat with a certain amount of misfortune, which had been suppressed by Baccarat's Devil Fruit ability.
When Baccarat tried to attack Haku instantly used her 'misfortune' to suppress Baccarat's Lucky-Lucky Fruit ability.
Meanwhile, the 'misfortune' that Tesoro had sown the night before when he met with Haku at Bullet's place also came to a head.
As a result, thanks to Haku's scheme, Baccarat accidentally fell on Tesoro. And Haku was completely unharmed!
"It seems this gamble no longer needs to continue." Haku slowly stood up, his eyes filled with the confidence of a victor. "Tesoro, your luck has left me. You are destined to lose this gamble."
Tesoro's face was terribly grim; he knew he was in a very unfavorable situation. But he didn't give up. He took a deep breath, trying to adjust his mindset and prepare for the challenges ahead.
"Haku, do you think you've won just like that?" Tesoro's voice was deep and powerful. "I still have my strength, my will, everything I have! I won't give up easily!"
Baccarat stood by, bewildered. She hadn't expected her small action to cause such a huge commotion. Watching the tense atmosphere between Tesoro and Haku, she was filled with fear and unease.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the Casino became extremely tense, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the final result of this gamble.
Haku smiled and placed her bet on the red Number Ten!
Once the bet is placed, Haku cannot change her bet.
Tesoro's mind began to work, considering the next solution.
He knew the dangers of the Lucky-Lucky Fruit's power; if he recklessly placed a bet, he would truly lose miserably!
Just when Tesoro was in a terrible predicament, Tanaka risked being killed on the spot by Haku.
He crept closer to Tesoro and said, "Lord Tesoro, if you don't want to lose now, you'll have to place your bet on the red Number Ten!"
Tesoro's eyes lit up. He believed that even if he couldn't win, he could still manage a draw!
So, without hesitation, Tesoro placed his bet on the red Number Ten before the betting opened.
