Arkham in the pirate world

With Liszt's rejection, the marriage was settled. Although Charlotte Lingling was a little angry, she did not turn against Liszt.

Anyone who can sit in the position of the Four Emperors will not be a fool with only brute strength.

Whether it is Kaido, who is considered a flat-headed brother by the world and likes to seek death, or Charlotte Lingling, who is controlled by nervosa as she grows older, they all have their own unique wisdom.

Just talk about Charlotte Lingling. Anyone who really knows her knows that when she is normal, she is more like a businesswoman, and she has business dealings with the kings of the dark world in the new world.

As a businessman, Charlotte Lingling will not easily quarrel with others and cause trouble for herself, unless there is a big enough benefit, or the other party has angered her.

For example, during the war at the top, among the four emperors, Whitebeard's entire group attacked, Kaido took the opportunity to steal the house, and Red Hair went to dissuade him, but Charlotte Lingling did not do anything.

Until Whitebeard's death, he occupied Fish-Man Island, the fortress heading to the New World, with lightning speed, and then never interfered with Whitebeard's other territories. I want a Fish-Man Island, and you don't want anything else. If it is divided, then neither the other two emperors nor other people who covet the throne will take the initiative to provoke her and take advantage of her without any effort. Isn't this the wisdom of Charlotte Lingling?

And through marriage, constantly annexing other forces to strengthen themselves is also a way of survival in this world.

As a woman, she was able to occupy an imperial throne in the new world in the age of great pirates. When she was young, Charlotte Lingling was also a strong person with both wisdom and strength, beauty and vision. However, as time goes by, she gets older, and... Due to the influence of nervosa, Charlotte Lingling would give people a feeling of becoming increasingly lethargic.

This is also human nature. There are many rulers who are wise and powerful when they are young, but are foolish and unruly when they are old.

In fact, among the four emperors, Charlotte Lingling and Edward Newgate are of the same generation, and they are the same age as legendary pirates such as Roger and Shiji.

In comparison, Kaido and Red Hair are one generation below them in terms of seniority and are in their prime.

Although Kaido and Charlotte Lingling were on the same ship back then, Charlotte Lingling was already an important officer on the ship at that time, while Kaido still had the same position as Shanks and Bucky on Roger's ship. He is a young boy who is a trainee crew member.

After the Battle of the Valley of the Gods, the Rocks Pirates disbanded. Charlotte Lingling, Shiji and other great pirates soon formed separate factions to compete with Roger for the power of the Pirate King. The Ten Thousand Kingdoms established by Charlotte Lingling have been It made Roger afraid at that time.

As for Kaido, that guy was just a supernova at the time. It wasn’t until he established himself in the country of Wano that he became rich. Even now, in terms of overall power, Kaido is no more powerful than the red-haired man who became the emperor last year. Shanks is slightly stronger, inferior to Edward Newgate and Charlotte Lingling who have profound knowledge. Of course, in terms of single combat, Kaido can indeed be called the strongest now.

The unique geographical location of Cessna Island was like worthless food to the Yonko, tasteless to eat and a pity to discard.

If you can't get it yourself, you definitely can't let the other four emperors get it, and this is one of the reasons why Charlotte Lingling didn't force Liszt to marry.

In the final analysis, the so-called marriage is just a trial by Charlotte Lingling.

Even if Liszt agrees, he will probably be resisted by the other three emperors to prevent Charlotte Lingling from growing in power.

Many times, the marriage between two major forces involves the entanglement of interests in all aspects, which can be explained clearly in just two sentences. Of course, such a marriage does not seem to be free, but this is not what we want. To obtain the price you pay, since you enjoy the rights of a wealthy and aristocratic family, you naturally have obligations. Isn’t it too naive for people who want to enjoy everything and want freedom at the same time?

The marriage issue subsided, and Cessna Island got on the right track step by step with the plan, because Liszt's naming of "Casino City" was a gimmick in itself, and Liszt had formulated relatively complete rules for Cessna Island. , gamblers feel at home, and the reputation spreads. More and more gamblers come here, and there are also guests attracted by the forces behind various casinos. The increase of foreign gamblers naturally drives all walks of life on Cessna Island, especially the service industry development.

Gambling is something that is deeply rooted in human character. To use some positive words to describe it, it is the spirit of adventure.

Among humans, there is always a shortage of adventurous guys.

Gold casino.

The tall Baccarat is undoubtedly the center of attention. Her brown wheat-colored skin does not affect her beauty at all, but highlights her curvy figure. The striped long skirt with high slits outlines perfect lines. , walking around, revealing her slender and straight long legs, and you can see tattoos of snakes and stars on her legs, which seem to tell men that she is not someone who can be easily conquered, just like a black rose with thorns in full bloom.

The Golden Casino is currently the best-selling casino on Cessna Island

The reason is that on the one hand, the Golden Casino imitates the architectural style of the Golden City. The overall casino is splendid and grand. The management model is also copied from the Golden City. Customers here are like gods and can enjoy a full range of services. The atmosphere and effect are extremely good. good.

On the other hand, it is also a "brand effect". Under Tezzolo's management, the Golden City has become the world's largest entertainment city. In the perception of many gamblers, Tezzolo is a representative of money that is not short of money. Those who have the strength Gamblers will naturally choose the Golden Casino to have fun.

Another reason is the patronage of the old customers of the Golden City. The Golden City is said to be a city, but in fact, like Thrillerbark, it is a huge ship. It is not fixed in the New World, but moves with the sea currents. Traveling around the world to attract customers, some customers who disembarked from the ship and did not want to travel too far would naturally choose to come to Cessna Island and then choose the Gold Casino that they were familiar with.

Apart from these reasons, it also has something to do with Baccarat.

Except for Mr. Tezoro and Mr. Tanaka, no one knows that Baccarat is also a Devil Fruit user, and it is a special super-human lucky fruit. The fate of anyone whose body is touched by her will change.

This fruit seems to have a very small improvement in strength, but if you make good use of it, it is completely a bug.

Tezzolo's rise in a very short period of time was inseparable from Baccarat's help.

Baccarat can use his ability to artificially create some lucky people to stimulate the consumption of other gamblers. He can also make those with superb gambling skills possessed by bad luck. No matter how amazing your gambling skills are, once the bad luck comes, it will be difficult to drink water. Stuff between teeth.

The Golden City suddenly became famous because of a large number of gambling masters who failed there. It was considered the fairest casino by gamblers from all over the world. Little did they know that they were all defeated by Baccarat's fruitful ability. Down.

Of course, for ordinary gamblers, Baccarat doesn't even bother to use his abilities.

The operation of the Golden Casino has a professional management team. Baccarat's mission is to prevent the casino from getting professional gamblers who rely on gambling skills to make a living. For such people, she will rudely take away the other person's luck and turn him into a gambler. Become a slave.

Perhaps it was because of the reputation of the Golden City. Baccarat walked around and did not see the kind of gamblers who wanted to rely on their crafts to make a living. Just as she was about to go upstairs, there was a clear knocking sound at the entrance of the casino. The sound was even among the crowd. The shouts, curses, and cheers of the gamblers were all so prominent and harsh that Baccarat subconsciously turned her head and saw a blind man exploring the way with a cane, walking into the wide open door that looked like it was made of gold.

The blind man is tall, three meters tall. He is wearing a lavender bathrobe, a black and purple belt, and a purple cloak. He has short black hair, a beard around his mouth, and an "x" shape on the left side of his forehead. scar.

"Sir, do you need help?" The reception girl at the door, wearing a long dress and fashionable and sexy appearance, asked with a professional smile and a sweet tone.

Even if they know that the other person is blind, they still bow slightly as a habit, showing good etiquette.

"Excuse me, is this the Golden Casino?" The blind man asked politely, looking naive and humble.

"Yes, sir, this is the Golden Casino."

Baccarat, who spoke with a unique accent, turned around, came over from the stairs, waved away the reception girl, and signaled that she would receive the guest personally.

"Well, luckily I didn't go wrong." The blind man smiled.

"I'm your receptionist. I don't know what the guests want to do." Baccarat asked with a smile.

"Let's play dice," said the blind man.

"Okay, this way please"

Baccarat's lucky fruit, in addition to being able to change the other person's luck by contacting the other person, can also see the other person's luck. With her status, the reason why she holds the seemingly low-level position of receptionist in the Golden City is also related to her. This ability is related.

As soon as the blind man walked in, Bacara subconsciously looked at the other person's luck, but she didn't see it. Instead, she felt his powerful aura, as if a mountain was oppressing her.

Although the other party was blind, the moment she looked at him, he cast an extremely sharp gaze on her, causing a cold sweat to break out on her spine.

Strong

Baccarat naturally did not dare to slack off, and personally took the other party to the dice area that belonged to VIPs. There were not many guests here, but the chips they displayed may be several times those in the ordinary area.

Many guests glanced at Baccarat and then looked at the blind man.

"Do blind people also come to the casino?" A man wearing an expensive suit, diamonds on his hands, and a gold chain around his neck mocked.

"Can't a blind man enter the casino?" The blind man smiled at him.

“You can bet even if you can’t see it”

"It's a blessing not to be able to see. There are too many dirty and nasty people in the world that people can't bear to look at," the blind man said.

The man slapped the gambling table, stood up and said, "What do you mean you are saying that I am a dirty and dirty person? Damn it?"

"Mr. Wilburham, please don't disturb everyone's interest," Baccarat said with a smile.

Wilburham looked at Baccarat with a smile and said: "Since the beauty Baccarat said so, then I won't care about it like this blind man. Hey, blind man, don't you want to bet? How about you bet with me?"

"Okay." The blind man walked over, sat down, and said to Baccarat: "Please help me redeem the chips of 90 Baileys."

Wilburham slapped his thigh and laughed loudly, holding his stomach.

"90"

"90 Baileys hahaha, where did the poor and blind man come from?"

Some of the guests around also laughed and reminded: "Hey, the next bet here will be at least 100 million Baileys."

"Really?" asked the blind man.

Baccarat smiled and said: "This distinguished guest, in order for you to have a good time here, our casino can lend you 1000 million beli first."

"Can 1000 million Baileys be enough?" the blind man asked.

"Of course, this is how our casino treats VIPs."

"Beauty Baccarat, aren't you afraid that he will lose all his money and have no money to pay you back?" Wilburham said.

Baccarat smiled slightly and said, "That's our casino's business."

"Then let me play," said the blind man.

Baccarat personally went to get the 1000 million beli chips and put them in front of the blind man.

Wilburham took the dice cup from the dealer, put three dice into the dice cup, shook it gently and said, "What do you want to bet on?"

"Just bet on the simplest one, big or small."

"it is good"

Baccarat glanced at the blind man and hesitated to help him. After thinking about it, she still didn't act. Instead, she folded her arms and watched.

Wilburham shook the dice cup, stopped, and asked: "Big or small?"

"small"

“How much do you want to press?”

"All," the blind man said calmly.

Wilburham opened the dice cup and his expression suddenly turned ugly.

"One, two, four, small"

Baccarat raised the corners of her mouth slightly and glanced sideways at Wilburham. Your opponent is blind, but you are blind.

"This time it's your turn and I'll bet on you. You must have great hearing," Wilburham said.

Half an hour later, a lot of chips were piled up in front of the blind man. Wilburham was already red-faced and sweating profusely. He stared at the dice cup with red eyes, hesitating in his heart. His favorite dice cup before was like Like a demon, he bared his teeth and claws at him.

Around the gambling table, a group of gamblers had gathered to watch the show, because Wilburham lost nearly million beli in just half an hour.

The reason why he lost so quickly was entirely because when it was the blind man's turn to place a bet, he would just go all-in and double the bet if he won. And when he bet, the probability of winning was %.

Wilburham is also quite famous in the gambling circle. This guy comes from Beihai and is a famous diamond tycoon. He is very good at gambling and has good gambling luck. Unexpectedly, he got into trouble here this time.

million Baileys, even if Wilberham was worth a lot, would still hurt his liver and lungs. What's more, he borrowed part of the chips from the Golden Casino. Every day, the interest alone was a huge sum.

Wilburham couldn't make up his mind. The blind man seemed to feel it. He picked up the cane leaning against the gambling table and said, "Otherwise, let's stop here."

"no"

Wilburham's eyes turned red, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll stake everything on you."

"Have you really decided?" asked the blind man.

"It's not too late to stop now"

Wilburham looked up at the blind man and said, "You are afraid."

"No, I'm just wondering why people are so greedy. Stop now. With your wealth, you can still live a decent life." The blind man advised.

Wilburham snorted and said, "Don't be verbose, just go ahead."

He stared at the blind man and stretched out his hand. Just as he was about to touch the dice cup, he suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

The blind man stopped his hand and said, "I regret it."

"Who will go back on their word? I'm afraid you'll do something, so I'll do it," said Wilburhan.

"That's fine, it's up to you to decide your fate," the blind man said.

Wilburham stretched out his trembling hand and pressed it behind the dice cup, as if he were carrying a thousand kilograms of weight, sweat dripping from his forehead.

He closed his eyes and picked up the dice cup.

"Everyone knows that gambling is a harmful thing, but why are some people still flocking to it? Because it is something that people can't help themselves. In an instant, it can make you millions of net worth. Let you fall into the abyss"

The blind man picked up his cane and said calmly: "Betting should be done in moderation."

Opposite him, Wilburham was slumped in a chair, with a pale face and glassy eyes. He listened to the blind man's words, suddenly stood up, pointed at the blind man and yelled: "Cheating, you must be cheating, he is definitely cheating." Cheating"

Baccarat stood up and said, "I can testify that this gentleman did not cheat in any way."

Yes, there was no cheating, it was just crushing by strength.

The gamblers around him looked at Wilburham with sympathy and more of ridicule, while they looked at the blind man with admiration.

In just half an hour, I walked in empty-handed and walked away with nearly 15 billion beli. Even if I had to pump money into the casino and pay some taxes to the city hall, it was still a huge profit that would make people crazy.

When the blind man came in, everyone looked at him with some discrimination. When he went out, everyone looked up at him, making his neck stiff. Some even wanted to touch the blind man and rub his luck a little bit. The seat he just sat on has been regarded as a throne, and everyone is red-eyed.

"Sir, this is a large check of 12 billion Baileys. You can go to the Gotham Savings Bank in the city center to exchange it. These Baileys are the compensation you deserve after deducting various taxes."

Baccarat was skilled in business and quickly delivered the blind man's income to him.

"Although there is a lot of money, it comes and goes quickly. It is your casino that really makes money," the blind man said.

"Sir, you really know how to joke. Who would be as lucky as you? Do you need any other services?" Baccarat asked.

"Actually, I came here to find a child."

"child"

"A child named Zenit ran away from home and has not returned yet. His mother asked me to take him home. His mother is waiting for him to eat."

"Uh"

Baccarat's memory flipped quickly. She had an excellent memory and had a photographic memory.

"We here in Zenit don't seem to have received such a guest. If you need it, we can help you find it." Baccarat said.

"I found out at the port that he was taken away by a group of human traffickers," the blind man said.

Baccarat immediately smiled and said: "You should have heard that slave trading is not allowed in Cessna City. All our employees are recruited through regular recruitment. Human traffickers have nothing to do with us. Maybe you are looking in the wrong place."

"No, someone saw that ship coming to Cessna Island."

Baccarat raised her eyebrows and said, "Maybe it's another casino."

"I have come from other casinos. You are the last one. It seems that he is really not here," the blind man said.

Baccarat frowned, rolled his eyes, and said, "Maybe, you can go to the city hall and ask."

“City Hall?”

"I can take you there"

Ace, who was lying down, jumped up, then choked and coughed.

The bed he was sitting on was surrounded by white decorations. It looked like it was an infirmary here.

"Are you here again?" Deus, wearing a white coat, said helplessly: "Have you not suffered enough? This is the dozens of times."

"You, I said" Ace scratched his head.

"Hey, little doctor"

Suddenly, the door opened, and four or five nurses walked in. The nurses' uniforms were miniskirts and leopard print high boots. They were a little too sexy, and they seemed to smell good.

The Whitebeard Pirates alone have several large ships and a crew of more than a thousand people. It is a huge organization comparable to a town. There are also several ship doctors, and the medical system is as sound as a regular hospital.

"I told you not to call me doctor, I haven't even graduated from medical school," Deus said in embarrassment in front of Ace.

"The doctors here are pretty much the same." A beautiful blond female nurse leaned against Deus.

Deus is a medical student who dropped out of school. Because the Spade Pirates couldn't find a better ship's doctor, he became everyone's ship's doctor.

Besides, what the ship's doctor on a pirate ship needs is not a diploma. Any cut wounds will be sutured, any tissue necrosis will be removed, and anyone suffering from endemic diseases will be isolated.

However, the larger the scale of the pirate group like the Whitebeard Pirates, the more terrifying the consequences of deteriorating sanitary conditions. In such a closed space on a ship, diseases can spread quickly.

So for the Whitebeard Pirates, the medical team is the lifeline. They are recruiting such talents at any time, and Deus is the most suitable talent, it seems.

After the nurses conveyed the words of the ship's doctor to Deus, they looked at Ace again, winked at Deus, and left with a small snicker.

"Look at how well you are pampered by them, Deus." Ace sat up with an unhappy look on his face.

As Deus' medical talent was discovered, Deus became a member of the Whitebeard Pirates' medical team and was an indispensable doctor.

Deus inherited the medical genes from his parents, and even though he dropped out of school, he was still an excellent doctor.

This is perhaps the greatest gift his parents gave him.

Deus looked at Ace calmly and said, "Well, whatever you think is fine."

"What do you mean?" Ace was a little confused by Deus' tone.

"What about the others? Have you seen them?"

"I have seen people on this ship, you, Wores"

In the past, the partners of the Spade Pirates stayed on different ships in the Whitebeard crew.

After Ace was defeated, they came back to try to save him, but were defeated. Like Ace, they were not imprisoned or shackled, and they were fed, just on different ships.
