Like a real night cat, she didn’t make a single sound.

With the help of a rope, she climbed over the high railing of the eclipse extremely smoothly and landed in the shadows of the deck.

“Snore—” Loud snoring came from the open-air bar.Full novel: One Piece: I Am Ace with Dual Devil Fruits — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Carina walked over and saw that the guard with the Red Nose was sprawled on the sofa, sleeping like a dead pig.

“The defenses are actually this lax?

Still, better safe than sorry.” Carina chuckled, pulled an exquisite spray can from her waist, and pressed it under Buggy’s nose.

A colorless, odorless, powerful hypnotic gas sprayed out.

Buggy smacked his lips and fell into an even deeper sleep.

“Done.

Now, it’s treasure hunting time.” Carina calmly stepped over Buggy and pushed open the living room door.

Even as a knowledgeable Phantom Thief, she couldn’t help but gasp when she saw the expensive silk carpet covering the floor of the living room and the wall-to-wall wine cellar.

Relying on her exceptional professional intuition, she quickly found a heavy refined steel vault embedded in the wall behind a secret door in the wine cellar.

“A complex six-digit mechanical combination lock?

It’s nothing but a decoration in front of me.” Carina confidently took out a stethoscope and put it on, placed the probe against the cold refined steel door, and turned the combination dial with steady, slender fingers.

“Click…

Click…” The faint sound of gears engaging was clearly audible in the silent cabin.

In less than three minutes, with a crisp “click,” the refined steel door, which was strong enough to withstand cannon fire, was easily pulled open by her.

“Clatter—” The moment the vault door opened, a blinding golden light almost illuminated half of the living room.

Piles of gold bars, rubies, and sapphires, as well as thick stacks of Berries, were piled up inside like a small mountain.

“This is at least fifty or sixty million Berries!

Whose guard is that Red Nose, anyway?!” Carina’s heart pounded violently.

Ecstasy made her unable to think much; she quickly unfastened the specially made large backpack on her back, and her hands, moving like afterimages, frantically stuffed the gold bars and gemstones into the bag.

“Hahaha!

It’s all mine!” Until she struggled to zip up the fully stuffed large backpack, hoisted it onto her back with difficulty, and prepared to turn and slip away.

“Clap.” “Clap.” Two crisp, leisurely rhythmic claps sounded without warning in the corner of the living room that had previously been empty and dark.

The smile on Carina’s face froze instantly.

The blood in her entire body seemed to have been drained at this moment, and a terrifying chill shot straight up her spine to her brain.

She turned her head stiffly.

She saw a tall, upright dark figure already sitting on the set of large leather sofas in the living room.

In the darkness, a point of crimson fire lit up.

By the dim light, Carina saw with horror that the black-haired man, who had an oppressive presence like a demon god, was sitting quietly on a single-seater sofa.

Ace’s deep black eyes were locked onto Carina.

There was no anger, nor was there any annoyance at being robbed; there was only the calmness of a hunter watching their prey.

“Your lock-picking technique is superb, and there were no unnecessary flaws in your infiltration movements.” Ace rested his arms on the armrests of the sofa, leaning his body slightly forward, and the oppressive presence instantly enveloped the entire cabin like a physical force.

“Now, I’ll give you a chance to introduce yourself.

If you’re of no value, you can go feed the fish in the sea.”
