Chapter 279

——Forbidden Magic Domain!

Sima Di's method was very simple.

Since he had no way to solve the problem of luck, he would just solve the person who created this problem.

"Speaking of which, this is still the trump card I used to deal with an Admiral of the Marines. You can count yourself lucky." Sima Di smiled and said: "Now all external factors have been eliminated...... I choose him, he is 24, double sixes!"

Baccarat heard it clearly, but didn't know how to respond.

"Very good! Open the cup!"

Dai Si spun a splitting axe in the air like a top, and just when everyone thought he would split the dice cup open with one swing, he instead slammed headfirst into the outer wall of the dice cup.

"Ahhh!"

Dai Si rolled his eyes back, his face drunk with bliss.

Everyone present was completely dumbfounded......

【Ding! Congratulations on signing in at the famous scene "The Self-Tormenting Masochist Croupier!", obtaining the sign-in reward "Dai Si's Masochist Strengthening Physique"!】

——————————

"Dai Si's Masochist Strengthening Physique": Any pain will stimulate the muscles and make them stronger, so the more painful the strike, as long as it doesn't kill you, it will make you even more powerful!;

——————————

No wonder Dai Si was so intoxicated with......

Wait!

Sima Di's eyes widened — this kind of talent was not something one should want!

But the system clearly gave him no chance to refuse; the related physique had already finished fusing.

Now,

As long as he suffered a painful strike, he would gain a corresponding proportion of physical enhancement......

That was just absurd!

"Forget it, I haven't been hurt anyway, this thing probably won't have a chance to be useful...... right?"

"Crack—crack—"

The dice cup shattered directly into pieces on the ground, revealing the numbers inside—

24, double sixes!

"Impossible!" Baccarat shrieked involuntarily.

How could her luck possibly lose!

That was the luck of over a hundred people!

Suddenly!

She thought of the "illusion" from earlier, and stared fixedly at Sima Di.

"Was it your doing?"

Sima Di shrugged, ignoring her impotent rage, and instead looked at the grim-faced Tesoro.

"Will you accept your loss gracefully?"

"Hmph! Baccarat, you really have disappointed me." Tesoro slowly rose and said coldly: "So, are you prepared to come and take my life?"

He had already secretly gathered his strength, ready to erupt at any moment!

Accept the loss gracefully?

Sit and wait for death?

That was not his style!

He didn't want to......

"Why would I want your life?" Sima Di said, puzzled: "Oh! I didn't make myself clear. Actually, I just want you to work for me, become the money bag for the new Marines and the Revolutionary Army, and provide them with the military funds they need."

Sima Di spoke lightly, and this was also the only chance he was giving Tesoro.

As for whether to seize it......

"Hahaha— you can actually connect with the Marines and the Revolutionary Army?" Tesoro said excitedly: "I've decided! I won't kill you! After I torture the formula out of you, I'll use you to hold the Marines and the Revolutionary Army hostage!"

"Sigh, wrong answer." Sima Di said regretfully.

"I am a god! How dare you make me a money bag?" Tesoro said furiously: "Let me show you what divine might truly is!"

"Crash—"

The surrounding buildings came to life, transforming into golden fluid that surged toward everyone!

It was Tesoro's Gold-Gold Fruit awakening, assimilating everything around into gold!

But the Straw Hat Pirates were no pushovers either; all of them rooted their feet to the ground, showing no intention of being swept away.

Only Baccarat and the other two vanished along with the golden fluid.

But immediately afterward, all the golden fluid surged back toward the Straw Hat Pirates, as if it would not stop until it consumed them.

"Sanji!"

"Watch me! Wind Sweeps the Building!"

Sanji transformed into Long Juanfeng, shielding the Straw Hat Pirates within the eye of the storm; the violent hurricane blew the surrounding golden fluid away, unable to approach them even a little.

A light shone above everyone's heads!

The bright lights of the Thousand Sunny drove back the darkness, and everyone's gaze turned in unison toward the distance, where a hundred-meter-tall golden giant stood, its appearance clearly that of Tesoro.

【Ding! Congratulations on signing in at the famous scene "Gold-Gold Fruit Awakened Golden Giant Form!", obtaining the sign-in reward "Uchiha Madara's Armored Susanoo"!】

"Uchiha Madara's Armored Susanoo": A skill that only a Complete Body Susanoo can use, covering the Complete Body Susanoo as armor over the target's body, providing powerful defense and strength amplification, and allowing the use of the Complete Body Susanoo's exclusive weapon!;

——————————

The ability to assist others...

"Hahahaha— See that? This is the power of a god! How dare you dream of defeating a god?"

Tezoro's arrogant words echoed over the Gran Tesoro, drawing countless sidelong glances, and everyone who saw that golden giant was utterly shocked!

Or rather...

"What god or not, didn't you still lose and refuse to admit it?" Sima Di's flat words rang across the sky.

In an instant, it shattered Tezoro's pretension.

"Seeking death!"

The golden giant's right eye flared open, golden light flickered, and it transformed into a massive golden beam shooting toward the Straw Hat Pirates' position.

"Golden God Fire!"

Sima Di raised an interested brow.

This strike, powerful enough to sink a warship dozens of kilometers away—aren't you afraid it'll sink the Gran Tesoro too?

But none of the Straw Hat Pirates moved.

"Whoosh—"

Likewise, a destructive beam shot from behind the Straw Hat Pirates, directly countering the "Golden God Fire." The two stalemated for only a few seconds before the "Golden God Fire" was beaten back step by step....

The violent shockwave from the beam clash,

caused the Straw Hat Pirates' position to collapse over a dozen meters, yet every one of them stood steady in place.

Having once again transformed into "Gao Da Form," Gao Da Merry held up her left arm to maintain the destructive beam, while her massive body swept in from low altitude.

"Ah!!!"

Amid Tezoro's furious roar,

His "Golden God Fire" ultimately could not match the endurance of the "Lion's Roar Cannon," and was blasted apart by the destructive beam, shattering half his skull. It then flew toward the sea surface over a dozen kilometers away, where a magma dog-head tried to bite it, exploding into a dazzling ball of light.

Seems like Sakazuki and the others were accidentally caught in it?

"Boom!"

Gao Da Merry landed behind the Straw Hat Pirates. Though her size was a bit shorter than the golden giant, her combat power had already been demonstrated moments ago.

In the remaining half-head of the golden giant,

Tezoro glared darkly at Gao Da Merry—he hadn't expected that without the Straw Hat Pirates even lifting a finger, their ship had nearly taken him out!

—He's not a Logia user; if that Lion's Roar Cannon had hit him dead-on, he'd absolutely be dead through and through!

"Doflamingo! Are you still watching the show?" Tezoro snarled.

"Fuffuffuffuffu—"

Amid that strange and signature laughter,

Doflamingo stepped out from the darkness, followed by a group of Donquixote Family executives. Even the heavily wounded Baby-5 trio appeared among them perfectly intact.
