Chapter 276

Those green-flame flying swords also made a sharp turn in the air, diving toward the free-falling "Don Quixote"!

In a panic,

Gladius had no choice but to unleash his ultimate move—Full-Body Detonation!

He was seen swelling up into a giant balloon; every time Luffy's fist landed on him, it triggered a massive explosion, and he would even fire millions of "detonation hairs" outward, blasting Luffy flying backward off the wheelie car.

Fortunately, he stretched out a rubber arm in time, grabbed the wheelie car, and bounced back.

The green-flame flying swords also landed on the giant balloon, but the expected explosion never came—instead, they set the entire balloon ablaze, turning it into—a giant fireball!

—Soul Flame was never a physical attack, but a soul attack!

This miscalculation by Gladius sent him plummeting into an abyss; the agony of his soul being burned made him let out an involuntary wail, and he reverted to his original form as he fell toward the ground.

"Gladius!"

Baby-5 hurriedly transformed into a rope to pull Gladius back, but the green flame spread along the rope toward Baby-5, and soon both of them were devoured by the green flame, scaring Buffalo into not daring to approach.

But don't forget......

Brook's violin music is still playing!

No matter how Buffalo dodged,

the green-flame flying swords kept biting at his tail relentlessly, and being a bit faster than him, he could only watch in despair as he was struck and engulfed by the green flame.

From then on,

the "Don Quixote" was completely wiped out.

Franky placed the turtle car back on the track, and symbolically sped around the track alone until he crossed the finish line.

"Oh—"

"Awesome!"

"This is the best race I've seen in all these years!"

The audience cheered and jumped for joy at the Straw Hat Pirates' victory.

Sima Di was also very happy.

Because......

【Ding! Congratulations on signing in at the iconic scene "Wheelie Car Version of the Hot-Blooded Turtle-Speed Race!" and obtaining the sign-in reward 《Gladius's Explosion-Immune Physique》!】

——————————

《Gladius's Explosion-Immune Physique》: Because of the Bomb-Bomb Fruit, Gladius is immune to all explosion damage and can absorb and convert it into stamina!;

——————————

Oh ho!

That's quite an unexpected bonus.

Adding his lightning immunity and high-temperature immunity, is this the rhythm of going straight~to invincibility?

"Hahaha—we won! 200 million Berries!" Luffy boasted.

Which earned him a direct glare from Usopp and Nami!

"200 million Berries?"?

"How can that be? Weren't the tickets 1 million Berries?" Chopper said in surprise.

"I don't know, they gave me chips worth 200 million, doesn't that mean 200 million Berries?" Luffy said, scratching his head.

"It's because Luffy gave them the entire briefcase full of chips, so it was taken as him betting 20 million Berries on himself, which is also a tenfold return." Franky explained.

I see...

"We're rich!" Nami shrieked.

"200 million Berries! That's six times my bounty!" Chopper was also blinded by money.

"Yo ho ho ho—this time I must buy a whole pile of panties!"

Unlike the others' excitement,

after his initial surprise, Usopp's gaze was searching for Baby-5 and the other two, until he locked onto the three being carried away on stretchers.

"Di! Quick! Over there!" Usopp grabbed Sima Di's hand.

Sima Di, however, shook his head.

【"I haven't had enough fun yet. I've already planted a spiritual seed in him; he can't escape."】

Hearing this, Usopp,

although a bit regretful that he couldn't immediately obtain the Devil Fruit he had long dreamed of, still nodded in agreement.

Yet his gaze remained fixed on Gladius.

Please don't die!

Otherwise he'd have to Filling the World to look for the Bomb-Bomb Fruit, and that hope would be too slim......

Wait!

Usopp suddenly remembered—Sima Di has a compass that can find anything!

He immediately broke into a grin.

Then this Bomb-Bomb Fruit can't escape, because even if someone else eats it, the Devil Fruit separation serum can be used to extract it.

Just at this moment,

The one billion chips per person that Sima Di had just exchanged for gold were also delivered into everyone's hands.

Seeing the chips with a face value starting at 1 million Beli, everyone's eyes lit up with golden light!

"Haha—let's go, let's go! On to the next project!" Usopp led the charge.

"Wait for me! I want to play too!"

"Take me along!"

"I want to win more money!"

Watching the Straw Hat Pirates' enthusiastic retreating figures, Bacara's gaze flickered uncertainly.

They are truly a terrifying group!

No wonder...

She pressed the earpiece by her ear and said, "My Lord Thatcholo, the Straw Hat Pirates' strength is too great. I suggest suspending the subsequent arrangements until the final purge."

On the other end,

Thatcholo, looking at the venue with its small-scale destruction, turned black with rage.

"I did underestimate them," Thatcholo said, suppressing his anger: "Bacara, do as you suggested, watch them closely, and ensure no more trouble arises."

"Yes!"

Bacara hurriedly caught up with the Straw Hat Pirates.

Little did they know...

Her conversation with Thatcholo had been overheard by them using Observation Haki.

"No more obstacles will be set up later?" Sima Di smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "Then there is no choice but to cause some trouble ourselves."

He broke away from the group and walked toward a nearby gambling table.

Robin and Hancock on his left and right followed suit, while Vivi in front was dragged away by Nami, forcing her to look back helplessly.

Arriving before the gambling table,

Sima Di found they were playing Dressrosa Poker; the rules were quite similar to Texas Hold'em, except the dealer was fixed as the casino, and guests could only compare wins and losses against the dealer.

This suited Sima Di's wishes perfectly.

To prevent cheating using Observation Haki, the playing cards were kept face-down throughout the entire game.

After watching a few rounds,

Having grasped the general rules, Sima Di sat down.
