Belial, Tregear, new members of the Straw Hat Pirates

Just as Torregia was observing the old man, the back door opened and a group of people walked in.

The leader was a masked man. "Looks like we have a lucky customer here today," he said, and then ordered his henchmen to drive away the nearby customers.

The man sat down in front of the old man, a sly smile on his face, and said, "Uncle, play a game with me."

"Ok."

The old man said, "I bet on white."

The man said, "I'm betting on black."

The wheel then started spinning, and the white ball stopped in the white area. But unexpectedly, the man said, "You lost!"

"Really? That's a pity. Let's do it again then."

"Okay," the man said with a grin.

But then, the old man continued to bet on white, and the man continued to bet on black. Later, it was still white, but the man kept saying black.

After more than ten rounds,

"You lost again!" the man said smugly. The other guests were clearly reluctant to let him go, but no one dared to speak up.

Torregia, suspicious, whispered to a guest beside him, "What's going on? How dare they be so insolent?"

The guest, somewhat flustered, looked around cautiously and said to Torregia, "Because they are from the Donquixote Family, the family of King Doflamingo of Dressrosa."

"I see." Torregia suddenly realized, and now he understood what was going on.

Since Dressrosa is Doflamingo's territory, his subordinates are naturally a force to be reckoned with in the area.

Just as Torregia was planning his next move, a familiar voice rang out:

"Wow, uncle is really amazing, he keeps winning!"

Upon hearing this voice, everyone present was startled. Who would dare to go against the Don Quixote family?

Torregia rubbed his forehead; he knew who it was without even looking.

The man frowned as he listened to Luffy's words. "What did you say?"

“I said it’s white,” Luffy said while eating soba noodles. “Why do you guys say he lost when Uncle has been winning the whole time?”

Hearing Luffy's words, the man's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He immediately waved for his underlings to take action.

Just as Torregia was about to make a move, the old man suddenly stood up and drew his sword.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a large crater suddenly appeared in the restaurant, and the people disappeared instantly.

"There's too much evil in the world; out of sight, out of mind." The old man sheathed his knife and left.

Torregia was somewhat surprised, not only by the old man's strength but also by what he had just said. Torregia understood the situation.

"This old man seems to be no ordinary person."

Just as Torregia was about to learn more about Dressrosa and the Donquixote Family through other people, he turned around and found that Sauron was gone.

"Eh?"

Tregear panicked upon seeing this. He knew from his previous research that Zoro had a terrible sense of direction, and it would be bad if this guy alerted Zoro.

He immediately turned on the scientific terminal to find Zoro's location, because he had set up location and navigation systems on everyone's communicators to better locate each person and prevent them from getting lost.

Upon opening the app, he discovered Zoro's location and immediately contacted him:

"Zoron."

"what happened?"

"Where have you been?"

"I'm chasing my knife!"

"what?"

Just moments ago, Zoro was watching a show when he suddenly realized his sword was missing. He turned around and found that the sword had vanished.

So he immediately got up and chased after the knife, finding it in a corner; it had been stolen by a little blue fairy. He's currently on his way back.

"That's good." Upon learning that Zoro was safe and sound, Tregear breathed a sigh of relief. He told Zoro that there was a navigation system on the communicator and that he could use it to return.

But then he saw Zoro's route on the screen and fell into deep thought.

Zoro entered a dead end, returned three seconds later, and returned fifteen seconds later.

In those fifteen seconds, Zoro walked across the same street three times and circled around twice.

"This..." Tregear was starting to have an existential crisis. "How could Mr. Zoro get lost even with GPS navigation?"

Zoro looked at the street in front of him and asked in confusion, "Why do all the roads here look so similar?"

……

"Hey. Luffy..." Tregear was about to tell Luffy about Zoro when he turned around and found that Luffy and Franky were nowhere to be seen.

"..."

Upon seeing this, Torregia closed his eyes, gasped, and gave an awkward yet polite smile.

He asked the waiter, "Excuse me, sir, where did those bearded men in hats go?"

"Oh, them. They went to chase after someone."

"Thank you," Torregia said, and walked out of the restaurant.

He activated his science terminal and discovered that Luffy and his crew were not far away, so he transformed and took off from a corner.

In a small alley, Tregear found Luffy and Franky, who were surrounding a member of the Donquixote Family.

Just as Tregear was about to approach, he noticed that Luffy's expression was a bit off. He had never seen such an expression on Luffy's face before; it was a mixture of seriousness, longing, and sadness.

"Franky, what's wrong with Luffy?"

It turns out that Luffy had just heard the name of his brother, Ace, from this man.

So they chased after him together with Franky and learned something from him: there was a once-in-a-lifetime grand prize in the arena today:

Portgas D. Ace, the second division commander of Whitebeard who died in the Marineford War, son of "Pirate King" Gol D. Roger, Luffy's brother, and "Fire Fist" Portgas D. Ace's Devil Fruit: Flame-Flame Fruit.

Upon hearing this news, Tregear remained silent for a moment before saying to Luffy, "Luffy, if I remember correctly, the arena shouldn't be far from here."

"Tregear, you..."

“That belongs to your brother, you should take it back,” Torregia said with a smile.

Hearing Tregear's words, Luffy smiled and said, "Thank you."

"Alright, it's getting late. You and Franky should hurry up and get this over with as soon as possible."

"it is good."

After saying that, Luffy left with Franky.

Watching the two figures leave, Tregear took out his scientific terminal. Just as he was about to tell Belial and Law to change the battle plan, Sanji called him.
