Chapter 8: Great Desuoluo Ship, the Lucky Girl

After all, the power Luode showed back then was still very mysterious; he could be said to be full of mysterious color, killing people invisibly.

But Desuoluo had no idea back then that, speaking of physical fitness, a warlock was just a weak chicken; any ordinary pirate could knock Luode down with a close approach.

But sometimes it's all about an information gap; after staying a while in the pirate world, Luode's physical fitness improved noticeably, especially the sea king meat of the pirate world, which could greatly enhance Luode's physical fitness.

After boarding the Great Desuoluo, under Mr. Tanaka's guidance, Luode rode an extremely luxurious turtle car, passing through the prosperous commercial street and outer gambling district, arriving at the most luxurious entertainment center of Great Desuoluo City.

This is a world-famous entertainment city; here you can make a fortune daily. Overnight you could become a multibillionaire, but you could also go from being a multibillionaire to a complete pauper.

Half a year ago, when Luode had just crossed over into the pirate world, Desuoluo's subordinate and secretary Bakara enthusiastically invited him to play a round, but Luode refused.

Joking, in this kind of gamble, if the house wants you in, no matter how much money you have it's not enough to lose. The Lucky Girl's luck fruit ability is incredibly heaven-defying.

Luck is completely something invisible and intangible. Even in some cultivation worlds, it's called qi fortune; those with abundant qi fortune are the protagonists of heaven and earth.

"Long time no see! Lord Luode, I've been hoping you'd come play on the Great Desuoluo." Bakara, wearing an elegant evening dress and fanning herself with a fan, smiled as she approached Luode and spoke.

"You want to touch me again to see if you can suck away my luck, right? Miss Bakara." Luode revealed a hint of a mysterious smile and spoke.

"Oh! You're really unromantic! But I'm really curious—you didn't use armament Haki, so how are you immune to my fruit ability?" Bakara asked.

To be honest, their first meeting was quite unpleasant, after all Luode back then was just an unknown nobody.

When he had just arrived on the Great Desuoluo, Luode directly used his warlock magic to start cheating in the casino, and in just three days he won a full 1 billion belly.

This terrifying momentum alarmed the owner of the Great Desuoluo, Desuoluo, who sent his subordinate Bakara to investigate.

At their first meeting, Bakara used her fruit ability on Luode, but unfortunately, her fruit ability that had always been reliable completely failed on Luode.

She clearly touched his body, but it had no effect at all; his luck wasn't sucked away, and even when he won money gambling, it had nothing to do with luck.

Even she herself was frightened by Luode's fear technique into a flustered state on the spot, but this also let Bakara confirm that Luode was a very special fruit ability user.

He used his special fruit ability to cheat in this casino.

What a joke—someone actually dared to cheat on the Great Desuoluo, which is quite serious. But if you can't catch any evidence, it's not cheating; Luode's cheating method is quite exquisite. He stopped at just the right moment, then had a friendly talk with Desuoluo, selling him a backpack with eight small grids and a few bottles of potions that can heal injuries and restore stamina.

Together with a few green Legion healing stones, he successfully hooked up with Desuoluo; with Desuoluo's help, he bought large quantities of One Piece World specialties and even obtained a Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

"Bakara! I'm actually very interested in your ability, you know? Your ability can be said to be the most heaven-defying ability in the world; luck is something extremely illusory, yet it's absolutely indispensable." Luode said.

If we let this girl suck the luck from the Burning Legion demon, who knows whether some demon will inexplicably run into bad luck?

Or perhaps her own pet would inexplicably regain sanity and break free of control? No matter which world, this heaven-defying luck-stealing ability is extremely powerful, and if this girl's fruit ability awakens, could she transfer this good luck to others, so that whenever she casts various spells and prepares herbs, it could be said to achieve twice the result with half the effort!

You should know that in the Azeroth World, warlocks and mages alike can prepare various potions, but the failure rate of concocting these potions is huge; often they spend dozens of materials to yield only a tiny amount of finished potion.

If blessed by the luck fruit, the effect would be unimaginable.

"Oh! Lord Luode, you really know how to talk, actually setting your sights on me, but I'm a subordinate of Lord Desuoluo!" Bakara covered her mouth with her fan, smiling as she spoke.

Just now, she secretly tapped Luode twice with her hand, trying to absorb his luck, but both attempts failed; his body seemed to have an invisible armor blocking her fruit ability.

Damn, this clearly isn't armament Haki! That masochistic pervert is an armament Haki master, but when he uses armament Haki, his whole body turns pitch black.

But this so-called Luode shows no change in his body.

"Hahaha! Luode, are you trying to poach my subordinates?" At that moment, the owner of the Great Desuoluo, Desuoluo, stepped out of the entertainment city, looked at Luode, and spoke.

"I just think this luck ability is very useful; I have no intention of poaching your subordinates." Luode smiled and spoke.

What I'm after is merely her Devil Fruit ability, not the girl herself; if she's willing to follow me, then Beasts Kaido will teach you how to be a person.

"Come on, Mr. Luode, I'll introduce you to the big banner Mr. Kuinyin of the Beasts Pirates; he's a top-tier scientist, very interested in the green stone you've developed." Desuoluo smiled, made a gesturing invitation, and spoke.

"Mr. Desuoluo, this is the agreed-upon compensation; besides the healing stones, I've also prepared a few bottles of special potions, one of which is called Invisibility Potion—drinking it lets one enter an invisible state." Luode handed over a small bundle to Desuoluo.
