"Looks like our knight has won once again!" The table manager exclaimed, pointing to a tall and strong man nearby as everyone applauded. It was the 12th time he had won. Quickly, a crowd of people began to gather around him, attracting more attention to that table, with victory after victory, seeing that he was truly a unique player, as it was just him against the house, with the other players no longer betting.

Luffy knew he was overdoing it, winning every game in a blatant sequence; he wanted to draw attention to see what Tesoro would do.

The manager was watching with a forced smile. On the surface, he seemed excited, cheering for Luffy and congratulating him on each of his victories, but inside, he was terrified. As Luffy increased the amount of chips, they piled up around him, and people looked at him like a hero, seeing the fortune he was accumulating there.

"Waiter, give me your best drink," Luffy said, laughing, while the waiter quickly served him. He drank, played, and enjoyed himself while exclaiming and making jokes for the crowd.

Of course, this also brought many opportunists. But Luffy, being a damn Yonkou, one of the strongest beings in this world, didn't need to look at these small fry to get rid of them before they bothered him, as he quickly repelled them with his Haki.

He released it silently without anyone noticing, and these targets didn't even realize it before feeling terrified as they approached him. If they did, they would meet a horrible death, seeing that this stranger was terrifying to them, and they all fled.

Besides the opportunists, there were women interested in him at that moment, with intentions of convincing him to take them directly to bed. After all, women also feel desire for men, and seeing someone tall, handsome, and who easily stood out, while he was well-dressed and extroverted, this garnered some looks of desire.

But he also didn't want to be bothered by this, until he sensed the presence of a certain woman approaching him. She stood out easily, being the most beautiful woman in the place. Luffy smiled at this. There were many beautiful and attractive women in this world, but few could be naturally sexy, seeming to seduce men all the time, and one of these women was calmly approaching, naturally parting the crowd.

"Will the gentleman play once more?" the manager murmured, looking at Luffy, a little cautious.

"Of course, why not?" Luffy smiled, and the man was already trying to figure out where he would get more chips if he lost this round. His boss wouldn't be happy about it.

Then, in a sea of desperation, the manager finally noticed that woman and immediately broke into a big smile. "Well, that's great..." He even spoke with confidence. "Anyway, we have here the presence of our famous Lady Baccarat, the lady, the most beautiful woman of Gran Tesoro..." he murmured, as everyone looked in awe at her as she also approached.

"Well, I heard the commotion and came to check what was so interesting. I just didn't expect to find such a handsome man playing and winning so many times. I must say, all good things fell upon one man," she murmured, staring into Luffy's eyes, trying to use her charm to seduce him, but without recognizing him.

'I expected this from ordinary people, but even characters with some level of relevance aren't recognizing me without the hat? That's kind of disappointing.' Luffy thought internally with a surprised tone; after all, he just wasn't wearing his hat.

Luffy then looked at her and smiled. "Hello, I really think I have to agree with your words, manager. She truly is the most beautiful woman in this place." He said, while the other women around showed disappointment at this comment. Of course, not more than his three wives on the ship.
