The Grand Tesoro, the Lucky Girl

Chapter 8 The Grand Tesoro, the Lucky Girl

After all, the power that Rhodes displayed at that time was still very mysterious. He was full of mystery and could kill people invisibly.

But De Solo had no idea that, in terms of physical strength, the sorcerer was just a weakling, and any ordinary pirate could easily take down Rhodes in close combat.

But sometimes, it's all about exploiting intelligence and information gaps. Moreover, after spending some time in the pirate world, Rod's physical abilities have improved significantly, especially since the Sea Kings' meat in the pirate world can greatly enhance Rod's physical abilities.

After boarding the Grand de Solo, led by Mr. Tanaka, Rhodes rode in an extremely luxurious tortoise-shaped car, passing through bustling commercial streets and surrounding casinos, and arrived at the most luxurious entertainment center in Grand de Solo.

This is a world-renowned entertainment complex where you can make a fortune overnight. You could become a billionaire overnight, or you could go from being a billionaire to being completely penniless.

Six months ago, when Rod had just transmigrated to the world of One Piece, Baccarat, De Solo's subordinate and secretary, enthusiastically invited Rod to play a game, but Rod refused.

Just kidding, in this kind of betting, if the house wants you to bet, no amount of money will be enough to cover your losses. The Lucky Girl's Luck Fruit ability is incredibly powerful.

Luck is something completely invisible and intangible. Even in some worlds of cultivation, it's called "qi yun" (氣韻), and those with abundant qi yun are considered the protagonists of heaven and earth.

"It's been a long time! Lord Rhodes, I've been looking forward to your visit to the Grand de Solo." Baccarat, dressed in an elegant evening gown, approached Rhodes with a smile, fanning herself with a fan.

"You want to touch my body again, to see if you can steal my luck, don't you, Miss Bakara?" Rod said with a mysterious smile.

"Oh dear! You're so clueless! But I'm really curious, since you didn't use Armament Haki, how did you become immune to my Devil Fruit ability?" Baccarat asked.

Honestly, their first meeting was quite unpleasant, since Rhodes was just an unknown nobody at the time.

He had just arrived on the Grand de Solo. Rhodes immediately began cheating in the casino using his sorcerer's magic, winning a whopping 10 billion Berries in just three days.

This terrifying momentum alarmed De Solo, the owner of the Grand De Solo, who sent his subordinate Baccarat to probe the situation.

When the two first met, Baccarat used her Devil Fruit ability on Rhodes, but unfortunately, the Devil Fruit ability, which had always worked, was completely ineffective on Rhodes.

Even though I touched the other person's body, it had no effect whatsoever. The other person's luck wasn't drained away, and the fact that they won money wasn't due to luck at all.

She herself was so frightened by Rhodes's fear technique that she lost her composure on the spot. However, this also confirmed for Bakara that Rhodes was a very special Devil Fruit user.

He used his special Devil Fruit ability to cheat in this casino.

Are you kidding me? Someone actually dared to cheat on the Grand de Solo! That's a very serious matter. But if you can't find any evidence against him, then it's not cheating. Rhodes's cheating methods are quite sophisticated.

And he stopped at an extremely opportune time, after which he had a friendly conversation with De Solo, selling him a backpack with eight small compartments and several bottles of potions that could heal injuries and restore stamina.

With several green Legion Healing Stones, he successfully connected with De Soro and, with De Soro's help, purchased a large number of One Piece world specialties, and even obtained a Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

"Bakara! Actually, I'm very interested in your ability, you know? Your ability can be said to be the most overpowered ability in the world. Luck is an extremely ethereal thing, but it is the most indispensable thing," Rhodes said.

If this girl were to absorb the Burning Legion demons' luck, I wonder if one of the demons would inexplicably fall into misfortune?

Or what if your pet suddenly regains its senses and becomes uncontrollable?

In any world, such incredible luck-stealing ability is extremely powerful. And if this girl awakens her Devil Fruit power, wouldn't she be able to pass on this good fortune to others, making her spellcasting and herbal concoctions twice as effective with half the effort?

It's important to know that in the world of Azeroth, warlocks, like mages, can also concoct various potions. However, the failure rate for concocting these potions is very high. Often, dozens of materials are used to produce only a small amount of finished potion.

If it were blessed with the Luck Fruit, the effect would be unimaginable.

"Oh dear! Lord Rhodes, you certainly know how to talk, actually setting your sights on me. But I am Lord De Solo's subordinate!" Baccarat covered her mouth with her fan and said with a smile.

Just now, she secretly patted Rod twice, trying to absorb his luck, but both attempts failed. It was as if Rod had an invisible armor that blocked her Devil Fruit ability.

Damn it, this is clearly not Armament Haki! That perverted masochist is a master of Armament Haki, but when he uses Armament Haki, his entire body turns completely black.

But this one named Rod showed no physical changes.

"Hahaha! Rhodes, are you trying to recruit my men?" At this moment, De Solo, the owner of the Grand De Solo, also came out of the entertainment center and looked at Rhodes and said.

"I just find this ability to have good luck very useful; I have no intention of recruiting you as my subordinate," Rhodes said with a smile.

I only care about her Devil Fruit ability, not the girl herself. If she's willing to come with me, Kaido of the Beasts will teach her a lesson.

"Let's go, Mr. Rod. Let me introduce you to Mr. Queen, the VIP of the Beasts Pirates. He's a top-notch scientist and is very interested in the green stone you've developed," De Solo said with a smile, gesturing for them to proceed.

"Here you are, Mr. Desolo. This is the payment we agreed on. In addition to the healing stone, I also prepared a few special potions, one of which is called the invisibility potion. Drinking it will make you invisible." Rhodes handed a small bundle to Desolo.
