Baccarat gazed at Ryuya, whispering, "You're the Dawn Bird leader?"
Ryuya nodded. "Yes. You know why I'm here?"
Baccarat pondered. "Because of my ability?"
Ryuya nodded. "Yes, your Lucky Lucky Fruit. You drain others' luck. Not powerful in direct combat, but incredibly potent in a casino!"
Baccarat agreed; her ability was exceptionally strong in gambling.
"So you want me to…"
"Didn't you come here yourself?" Ryuya asked, stepping closer.
Baccarat hesitated, her expression shifting. She was incredulous.
"Sir, you mean…"
"Join us. I need your ability!"
Baccarat's eyes widened.
She'd anticipated this, but hearing it from Ryuya, a Yonko-level figure, was still shocking.
Even though Zero downplayed his status, his reputation was immense.
After Big Mom's disappearance, the Yonko were Whitebeard, Kaido, Shanks, and Zero.
But Zero was far more enigmatic than the others.
And this enigmatic figure was now before her, inviting her to join.
Without hesitation, she nodded. "Leader, I, Baccarat, pledge my loyalty!"
Ryuya smiled. "Then I'll leave the casinos to you."
Stussy entered. "Master, everything is prepared."
Ryuya's eyes flickered. "Let's begin."
He activated his awakened Devil Fruit ability, altering the surroundings.
Baccarat followed him outside.
Ryuya gestured, revealing a magnificent golden ship, as opulent as an island.
Baccarat gasped. She'd never seen anything so extravagant.
Stussy brought in numerous maids.
Ryuya, using his magic, lifted them all towards the golden ship, invisible thanks to his Devil Fruit.
Onboard, Baccarat exclaimed, "Leader, this ship is incredibly luxurious! What's its name?"
Ryuya smiled. "Paradise."
The others joined them on the deck.
"Robin, Olvia, Paradise will be your base for establishing your intelligence network."
"Nami, Nojiko, you're Paradise's captains. I'll help make it a neutral territory.
Your job is to manage Paradise and turn it into a money-making machine."
Nami nodded eagerly. "I'm the best at making money!"
"Carina, you'll manage the maids."
"Kuina, you'll guard Paradise. Eliminate anyone causing trouble."
"Yes, Master," Kuina replied.
"Baccarat, the casinos are yours. Use your ability on anyone who wins too much."
To Olvia, he added, "Train your ability. Work with Baccarat if needed."
The women nodded.
Ryuya moved Paradise to a distant location and gently lowered it onto the sea.
He then shifted his consciousness to his White Dove Admiral persona.
—
White Dove, after returning the women to Marineford, arrived at Sabaody Archipelago on his flagship.
Masked CP0 agents intercepted him.
"Admiral White Dove, please follow us."
Ryuya followed silently.
They arrived at a lavishly decorated room. A woman in a helmet, resembling an astronaut, stood before him.
"White Dove, you're here. I'm going to sea, and you'll protect me!"
Ryuya smiled. "My pleasure."
Shalria, haughty, ignored him and left.
Upon seeing Ryuya's ship, however, she frowned.
"This is a flagship? It's rather…plain."
Ryuya remained silent, a glint in his eyes, unnoticed by anyone.
A CP0 agent said, "Your ship has a problem, ma'am. Forced sailing might sink it."
Shalria sighed. "Fine, let's make do."
She boarded Ryuya's ship. Just then…
