In One Piece With Cheat Codes

Capturing Robin

"Sir, the games out here are small-time. Would you like to move to the VIP area? It's more suited to someone of your status and skills," a beautiful casino attendant quickly approached Ryu, smiling as she spoke.

"Can I meet your boss? I'd like to play with her," Ryu smiled casually.

The attendant hesitated. It wasn't common for guests to request to meet the casino's owner just to "play." In fact, even out here on the main floor, they had a system in place to slightly tip the odds in the house's favor. Once a guest moved inside, though, the casino ensured that, no matter how much they won, they'd lose it all back. And playing against the owner? That was a guaranteed loss.

"Apologies, but I can't answer that right now. I'll need to ask the boss," the attendant responded with a polite smile after a quick recovery.

"So, you're checking if I'm worthy enough? Or maybe you're worried I won't have the skills?" Ryu chuckled, standing and gesturing for her to lead the way.

"Oh, not at all. It's just that our boss isn't always on-site, so I can't answer right away," she replied, covering her mouth with a polite laugh.

Soon, they arrived at a room marked "VIP."

"Please wait here while I check with the boss to see if she's available to join you," the attendant said with a bow before leaving.

Aside from Ryu, the VIP room held a few other guests, who gave him a brief glance before returning to their gambling, clearly uninterested in him.

Ryu didn't mind. He casually strolled over to a sofa and took a seat. A male attendant soon brought him a glass of wine and asked if he needed anything. Ryu shook his head and asked, "What types of games do you have here?"

"The minimum chip exchange is 100,000 beri," the attendant explained with a bow. "That area over there is for card games; the specific rules can be arranged by the players. Over here is the dice area, mostly for high-low bets. Lastly, we have a miscellaneous games section, where guests can browse and, if interested, let an attendant know. We can then help find other guests with similar interests."

"As expected of the biggest casino in Rainbase! Impressive," Ryu nodded, walking over to the dice area. With his sharp hearing, he could easily tell the numbers on the dice. Though the casino had its own tricks, Ryu wasn't here for money—he was here to meet Robin.

After a while, Ryu placed another bet on "low" and smiled at the dealer. The other players followed his lead. As for meeting Robin and not caring about winning or losing, he had to admit, "It's hard to resist the thrill!"

With his inner power, Ryu found it all too easy to cheat at the casino games. Initially, he hadn't planned to cheat and made his bets casually. But after a few lucky wins, the dealers started targeting him, which irked him.

"Oh, so you want to mess with me? Alright, I'll play along!"

With the use of inner power, Ryu quickly accumulated chips worth millions. They'd even switched out the dealer multiple times, but they couldn't stop him. They had no idea how he was doing it—despite checking the dice and mechanisms, the results still weren't in the house's favor.

"Well? Are you going to open the cup?" Ryu asked, smiling at the dealer, who was nervously wiping the sweat from his brow.

"Yes, open it! Open it!"

"Haha! This guy here is on fire today. Nothing can stop his luck!"

"Absolutely! Thanks to him, I even made a little profit myself!"

The surrounding players laughed heartily.

"Didn't expect you'd be good at gambling too!" Robin's voice suddenly came from behind him just as the dealer was about to open the dice cup.
