Inside of an elevator, the group traveled up to the VIP lounge but the doors were not opening.

"What the? This is it?" Weiss asked.

Just then, something began to phase through the wall as it was a creepy looking man with a large head.

"Shururururu." he snickerd.

"That's a really big head!" Ruby said.

"This is Mr. Tanaka. He is the head of security here. He has the power of the Through-Through Fruit which allows him to pass through any solid object." Baccarat said.

"If you would be so kind, please take my hand." Tanaka said.

"O-kay…" Hope said as everyone formed a line as they passed through one by one.

"Hey, Sunset didn't come with us?" Zinia asked.

"She's staying by the Crank-a-kai." Hope said. "Doubt we'll see her till tomorrow."

They looked inside to see a large room covered in gold with many important people all over as they mainly sat on the floor betting on dice.

"So you're big fancy game here is just dice?" Zoro said.

"So it would...what the hell?" Gajeel said noticing several marines. "You let the Marines in here?"

"Relax. The World Government recognizes this place as a neutral zone. Pirates don't commit crimes and Marines don't go to arrest them." Baccarat said.

"So… whats so special about this dice game?" Lacy asked.

Her question was then answered as a large muscular man in unique combat hear with dice symbols on his knuckle dusters. The armor colors were purple and black.

"Uh...who is that dude?" Usopp asked.

"That's Dice. He used to be the champion of the Underground Deathmatch, but he became so powerful, there aren't any more challengers, so we gave him a job as a dealer in the VIP room." Baccarat said.

"Let's do this!" Dice said grabbing the two large metal dice and hurling them into the air. He then picked up the bell behind him and used it as a cup to catch the dice and them slammed it to the ground with a german suplex. He then grabbed an axe and readied himself.

"He's going to break it with that axe?" Brook said.

Dice then jumped into the air and did several spins before he bashed the bell with his head, making it crumble.

"He just headbutted that bell and smashed it to pieces!" Black Star said in shock.

"What did he need the ax for?" Robin wondered.

"6 and 2! Even!" Dice said.

"Wow, talk about entertainment. And the guy doesn't even seem in pain." Natsu said.

"Yeah! Give me more!" Dice said.

"So...for the starting bid, how about we loan you 300 million for the first draw?" Baccarat asked.

Nami, Ussop, Brook, David, Sectonia and Mayumi huddled up at that.

"This is our chance. We'll be billionares for sure!" Nami said.

"Well, yeah, but…" Usopp said.

"What will we do if our luck runs out?" Brook asked.

"Yeah. Gambling addiction is not a pretty thing." Mayumi said.

"We'll have to be strategic about this." Sectonia said.

"Yeah. In sense in blowing all of our money in one shot." David said.

"Okay! All on even!" Luffy said already making his bet.

"WILL YOU STOP DOING THAT!?" Nami, Usopp and Brook shouted.

David sighs. "Oh boy…"

"Yes! Give me more!" Dice said banging his head on the bell as it broke. "Snake eyes! Even!"

"I can't believe he actually pulled it off!" Jesse said.

"And he doubled our money!" Petra said.

"We're close to a billionaire lifestyle." Mayumi said.

"Has Money blinded you guys?!" Hope said.

"No!" they all shouted.

"Whoa! Check it out! Its Tesoro!" one of the vips said as they saw Tesoro walking down with the singer girl and Flux by his side.

David took notice of Flux. "So much for the perfect getaway…" He muttered.

"So you're Gild Tesoro?" Yang asked.

"I am. And I happen to be the ruler of this humble city." Gild said.

"Oh. Hey I know you! You're the Casino King! Well watch out cause I'm gonna be king of the pirates." Luffy said.

"Well put. Very well put." Flux said.

"Now now friend. Its an honor to have the future king of the pirates grace us with his presence. Now then, how about we solidify our meeting with a friendly wager?" Gild asked.

"What kind of wager?" Hope asked.

"Since this is a rare opportunity. If you beat me at a roll of the dice, then I'll give you ten times your wager. How do you like that?" Gild asked. "And just to be clear, I don't expect you to pay ten fold when you lose. I already have more money than I know what to do with. If I don't cook up something like this, its hard for me to have fun. So...what do you say?"

"Sure. I'll take your bet." Luffy said.

"Also, I like to make a wager too. If you beat me in this game, then I'll quit being a villain. But if you lose, you have to give me something." Flux said.

"Depends, what do you want?" Luffy asked.

"Mainly...Hopeless." Flux said.

"Oh no…" Hope said.

"Okay. Deal on that too. All on Odd!" Luffy said.

"Then we go even." Gild said as Flux also bet on it.

Mayumi noticed Baccarat take off her glove and head towards Luffy.

"Luffy, wait!" Mayumi warned.

"Huh?!" Luffy said.

"You are very impulsive. I was right about you after all." Baccarat said tapping Luffy's shoulder with her exposed hand.

"Let's do this!" Dice said leaping into the air as he then busted the bell with his head. "6 and 2! Even!"

"How did that happen?!" Usopp said.

"Hey, luck runs out. What can I say? And my luck just got good." Flux said looking to Hope with an evil smile.

"Well, you all did good. But you performed the best...Baccarat." Gild said.

"Your hand. What did you do?" Mayumi asked with a scowl.

"A simple trick. I have the powers of the Luck-Luck Fruit. With a touch of my hands, I can make a person either lucky or unlucky." Baccarat said.

"You cheaters!" Hope said.

"Cheaters? Last I checked, these were games of chance. You can never predict the outcome." Flux said. "Oh Hopeless. Such a sore loser. And my newest employee." he said.

"WHAT?!" Hope asked.

"What the heck, Flux? What's your game?" Korra asked.

"Not much. Just taking away the biggest annoyance away from the hero game, same with his team. Since I won your leader...I guess you listen to me now too." Flux said.

"Damn…" Zephyr said.

"Wait, so I'm unlucky now?" Luffy asked.

"Very." Baccarat said.

"But I don't feel any different." Luffy said before his stomach growled as he clutched it. "My stomach! Ohh! I think I ate too much!"

"What?!" the group said. "That never happens!"

Luffy stepped backwards as he slipped on a banana peel and crashed into the backwall.

"A banana peel? What the heck?" Kurochi asked.

"So they rigged us!" Gemini said. "She touched Luffy and sucked up his luck! You cheaters!"\

"Cheating? Now that is absurd." Tanaka said.

"You only think we're cheating cause you guys don't know the rules." Dice said.

"Perhaps we should tell you the motto of Gran Tesoro." Baccarat said.

"Those who fall for ruses...loses." Gild said. "Fine words to live by, right?" he said as the entire VIP room cheered for the Casino King and his partners.

"So it was all a scam." Sectonia said.

"Now...hand Flux his new employees and give me my 320 million." Gild said.

"We can't pay that money back. You made sure of that!" Nami said.

"Then you'll just have to work your debt off." Gild said. "You see, all the workers here are debt ridden slaves who were trapped and indebted here from their own gullibility. And if you refuse to work, I'm not above using a little force."

"That's why those kids wanted so much money for those flowers. To pay their parents' gambling debts." Erica said.

"Yep. There are so many losers here, it makes me wish I invented this place." Flux said. "But that's just me. Now...come here my valued employees!"

Korra was distraught as some of the members had no choice but to walk over. "Wait!" she said.

"Hmmm?" Gild asked.

"Let's do a new wager. All or nothing, us against you." Korra said.

"Nice try." Flux said snapping his fingers as a sniper bullet hit Korra's leg. "I'm done gambling today. I want to relax with my new workers."

"Stop!" David said. "Just give us some time and...we'll pay back your money."

"No we aren't." Zoro said as the Straw Hats were ready to fight.

"Oh my leg!" Baccarat said. "I think a bullet accidently hit me!"

"Coming!" Sanji said running over to her.

"Sanji, dont!" Hope said.

"Huh?" Sanji said as Baccarat was right in front of his face. "Aw hell…That was dumb!" he said as his cigarette fell out of his mouth and landed on his jacket, setting it on fire. "Hot! Hot!" he said before slipping on a banana peel and crashed through a wall.

"Wow. She is good." Gray said.

"Don't you ever learn?!" Zoro shouted.

"Guys! Look out!" Ruby said as Tanaka made his move.

"Through Through Illusion!" Tanaka said falling through the floor and popping out randomly, shooting at the ground.

"Strong Right!" Franky said shooting his right arm at Dice who blocked it with his head. "What the?"

"Mmm! Give me more!" Dice said.

"I see. So you're a pervert too." Franky said.

"He's just enjoying his punishment." Hope said.

"Hey, Korra, Hope. Let's just take out Tesoro. Get rid of the boss and the rest will follow." Zoro said.

"I'm all for that!" Hope said. "Time to dethrone the King of the Casino!" he said as he, Zoro and Korra changed at Gild.

"Not a smart move...as you three will find out." Gild said smiling as his hands sparked. As they three charged, they soon noticed their legs were being coated in gold. As they were about to lay a hit on Gild, the gold dragon on one of the pillars zoomed out and blocked the attack as their bodies were encased in more gold.

"Zoro!" Chopper shouted.

"No! Stay back!" Zoro shouted. "You...you have a devil fruit power."

"Yes. The Gold Gold Fruit. I can manipulate any gold that I have touched. And all of you have an ample amount...from the gold dust that rained in the tunnel." Gild said.

"That gold dust…." Hope growled.

"Yes. I not only control the gold in this city but all of the people in it as well!" Gild said kicking the three over.

"FOr the first time in the History of my life… I have you pathetic heroes, right where I want you!" Flux said. "Thank you gods of luck."

"Now...I also think they can pay that debt. As I recall, Pirate Hunter Zoro's bounty was around 320 million." Gild said.

"You don't expect us to…" Nami said before the singer held the knife to her neck. "What are you…"

"Just play along." she whispered.

"Hmm. Fine. Just give us time to get the 320 million. Please. And you can have the Hope Squad too! Time is all we need." Nami said.

"Fine. You have until tomorrow at midnight. If you do not have the money then, I will publicly execute Roronoa Zoro. And if Flux allows it...Hope and Korra too." Gild said.

"I will allow it. I just wanted to get rid of my biggest annoyance." Flux said.

"Now this is what its all about. The ultimate gamble. Life vs Death! Will it end in success or tragedy? Either way...its guaranteed to be one hell of a show!" Gild said.
