Chapter 178 1 laugh

Luo Tian led Sugar slowly out of the dark, damp cell that reeked of a foul stench.

Then, he turned to Tezzolo, who was standing to the side, and gave him instructions.

"Could you please take her to find Baby-5 and the others? Let her tidy up properly first, and I'll browse around here when I get back."

"Would you like me to arrange a car for you?"

"No need, I'll just wander around aimlessly, there's no need."

Tesoro nodded slightly to show that he understood, then gently took Sugar's little hand and led her forward.

After they had gone far away, Luo Tian breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

He stretched out his arms and gave a big, yawning stretch, his bones cracking and popping.

"Alright, things are almost done here. Now it's time for me to explore this golden city."

Luo Tian slowly stepped into this bustling and vibrant commercial district.

His gaze swept curiously and with amazement over the dazzling array of entertainment facilities around him, and a sense of awe welled up in his heart.

The scene here is even more impressive than the casino projects I remember from my previous life. Not only are there a large number of them, but the variety is also dazzling.

The streets are lined with magnificent buildings, which are like dazzling pearls embedded in the city.

The buildings are uniquely designed, with every detail exuding an air of endless luxury, as if showcasing the prosperity and flourishing of this place to the world.

Luo Tian strolled into the advanced area and was soon drawn to a unique competition—the No-Rules Turtle Car Race.

The side of the track was crowded with people, the audience was enthusiastic, and cheers rose and fell.

At the starting point, a uniquely designed car attracted particular attention.

There were three people in the car, the most conspicuous of whom was Yamato. She sat steadily in the driver's seat, her eyes revealing an irrepressible excitement as she constantly looked at the other drivers around her.

Yan and Enel sat in the back seats with a somewhat helpless expression. The expressions on their faces clearly showed that the two of them had been dragged over by Yamato to serve as "laborers".

Nevertheless, faced with the bustling scene before them, they could not hide their curiosity and anticipation.

"This car, you got it from Tezzolo, didn't you?"

Then, Luo Tian shook his head, feeling that there was nothing more to watch in this match.

If those three can't even handle opponents like that and lose the game, then they'll definitely need to have some extra training once they get back to the ship!

Thinking of this, Luo Tian turned and walked towards the VIP area.

When he entered the VIP area, he immediately saw Robin sitting at the gambling table, dominating the game and enjoying immense prestige.

Behind her stood Anna, Angie, and Kella.

Whenever Robin wins a hand of cards, the three little guys cheer excitedly and applaud and cheer for Robin without reservation.

Seeing this, Luo Tian walked over to their side.

He looked at Robin and said with a hint of reproach.

"Hey Robin, don't lead these kids astray!"

However, Robin just smiled slightly upon hearing this and didn't take Luo Tian's words to heart.

At this moment, Anna, Angela, and Koala, who were standing behind Robin, were not happy.

The three of them glared angrily at Luo Tian and protested in unison.

"We're not little kids!"

Luo Tian sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, you've all grown up. You're becoming more and more disobedient, not as well-behaved and sensible as you used to be!"

After saying that, Luo Tian gently shook his head, then turned and left the bustling place.

Luo Tian stepped steadily into the VVIP area, which was heavily guarded, with several burly, serious-looking guards standing on both sides.

However, since Tesoro had given prior notice, the guards did not stop Luo Tian.

Upon entering the VIP area, Luo Tian's gaze was quickly drawn to a gambling table.

Hawkeye was sitting there, his sharp, hawk-like eyes focused on the cards in his hands.

Beside Hawkeye sat a man dressed in a gorgeous purple kimono.

The man had his eyes closed, and a striking X-shaped scar on his forehead added a touch of coldness to his already mysterious and unpredictable demeanor.

Despite being in a noisy and chaotic casino, there seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two that was difficult for outsiders to penetrate.

Despite their involvement in the intense gamble, the man in the purple kimono would occasionally exchange a few whispered words with Hawkeye.

With his keen intuition and extraordinary perception, Hawkeye could clearly sense that the seemingly blind man beside him was no ordinary person.

Despite the opponent's deliberate attempt to conceal and disguise his aura, Hawkeye, also a top swordsman, could still accurately judge that this person possessed extremely high attainments and formidable strength in the art of swordsmanship.

This resonance stemming from the powerful sparked Hawkeye's intense interest in the mysterious man in purple robes.

"Oh, what a coincidence! Let's see if we can poach some of the Navy's men beforehand."

Luo Tian spotted the figure from afar, and upon closer inspection, a surge of joy welled up within him.

It turns out that the man standing next to Hawkeye was actually the famous figure from the original story.

In the short two years following the end of the Marineford War, the entire naval system launched an unprecedented global recruitment drive.

The man before me was the one who stood out in that large-scale recruitment and was exceptionally promoted to general based on his outstanding abilities.

A smile codenamed Fujitora.

Just as Luo Tian was about to take a step forward, suddenly, a figure appeared from behind him like a ghost.

Mr. Tanaka rushed toward Luo Tian and quickly reported to him.

"I'm so sorry to bother you, sir. We did find the Devil Fruit hidden inside the fruit that you asked me to find, but the quantity is quite small. We've only found two so far."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tian's originally calm eyes flashed with excitement.

He looked at Mr. Tanaka with great interest, secretly wondering which two Devil Fruits they might be.

When Mr. Tanaka saw that Luo Tian showed interest, he quickly and cautiously asked.

"Then, sir, would you like me to take you to see those two Devil Fruits?"

Luo Tian nodded without hesitation, indicating his agreement.

Then, as if remembering something important, he pondered for a moment and gave instructions to Mr. Tanaka.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Tanaka, please keep an eye out for that man in the purple kimono over there. If he leaves this area, please contact me immediately."

Mr. Tanaka readily agreed and nodded emphatically.
