Starting as a pirate

As soon as Wumi and the others walked in, they could feel a wave of heat hitting their faces, and their ears were filled with shouts and curses.

Karina flinched a little and took the initiative to retreat. She felt relieved after holding Umi's arm and walked in.

After the bets were placed, the two were specially arranged by the service staff to the best seats. As a new match began, the fiery fighting match officially began.

Although there were still unwashed bloodstains on the playing field, it was obvious that no one cared about it. If the player whom Karina pressed had some divine help, she would knock out the opponent's teeth with a few punches and vomit blood from the mouth.

The referee quickly went up to pull him away, and the audience was filled with boos or shouts of joy. Umi was okay, but Karina was holding his arm firmly, her face a little pale.

Wu Mi worriedly said: "Otherwise, let's go out."

Karina smiled reluctantly, remembering the doubled bet, and couldn't help but said: "Play one more time, and then we go."

Umi nodded hesitantly, and as the referee blew the whistle, the game started again, and the whole process was boiling.

"Wumi, are you really here?" A lazy and familiar tone sounded behind Wumi, making people slightly startled.

Karina turned back subconsciously and said: "You, aren't you Admiral Qing Pheasant? Are you really the same person?"

"Aren't you here too? It's been a long time, Aokiji." Umi greeted him seriously.

"What wind brought you here?"

With the arrival of Qing Pheasant, the heated atmosphere at the scene instantly had nothing to do with the three of them. They seemed to be in another world.

"I'm not a navy now, I'm just a wanderer." Qingzhi waved his hand and said, "By the way, are you two dating now? It's so enviable."

"Alas" Karina exclaimed, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she said harshly: "It's not a date. Umi and I have nothing to do. We just get along."

Umi didn't mind Aokiji's teasing and said, "You lost to Akainu. Could it be because you are soft-hearted and showed mercy? I think there are some problems in the relationship between you two guys."

Qingzhi's face was full of questions, and he ignored Wumi and asked directly: "I heard that Wumi you have accepted the surrender of Tezolo, the owner of the Golden City. Is this true?"

"What does this have to do with you?" Umi asked.

"Well, I'm currently working as an envoy of justice." Qingzhi's eyebrows twitched and he said, "Do you two know the filth behind this golden city?"

"What do you mean?" Karina opened her eyes unconsciously.

"Tezolo is superstitious about the power of money. He uses gold to control everyone in this city and puts everything under his control. This city is a cage made of gold."

A bright light flashed through Aoki's glasses and he said: "I have made up my mind to stop him. Even if you, Umi, stand in front of me, I will not admit defeat."

"But I still don't want to be your enemy, Umi. After all, if you interfere in this matter, you will be in trouble."

"So, Umi, what's your answer?"

Umi clicked her tongue and said, "Qingzhi, no matter what happened in the past, the Golden City is my territory now, and I will ask Tezolo to change the problems you mentioned."

"You'd better stay out of this matter."

"That's it~" Qingzhi exhaled a cold breath and said, "I'm sorry, I made a promise to someone else a long time ago."

"And people don't change easily. Even if you liberate everyone in Golden City now, Tezzolo will definitely hurt more people. He has become a slave to money."

"If Tezolo cannot be defeated, this golden city will never be liberated, and the children will be disappointed in me."

"It seems that things have developed for the worst." Umi sighed and said, "Then you should think clearly."

"You too." Qingzhi nodded, put on his hat and left.

The sharp whistle sounded again, and the game was over. The service staff pushed over a large sum of money for gambling, but Karina couldn't laugh anymore, and left with Umi in silence.

Walking on the busy street, Umi and Karina walked one behind the other, and the turtle cars on the road kept speeding by.

Karina suddenly felt lonely in her heart. She suddenly remembered the days when she was a child. The villagers spoke harshly to her because of money. Later, an acquaintance of her parents appeared and the situation in her family was relieved. She and her grandma started living together again. Good times.

"Is money really that important?" She thought about it more than once back then. Although she liked money when she grew up, she actively refused help from her parents and acquaintances.

Not because of anything, just because money is really important, and she can feel the heavy weight of that money.

However, she has never thought about using money to hurt others, and she does not want her children to realize the weight of money as early as she did, because that would be too painful.

What she prefers is the power of money that can support freedom.

Karina knocked on the railing on the side of the road. Just by the sound, she knew it was pure gold. She couldn't help but ask: "Did you already know what Qingzhi just said? Why didn't you tell me?"

Umi hesitated and said: "This has nothing to do with us, right? Tezzolo has always been very good to us. It has always been your dream to get the Golden City. Why do you care so much?"

"Is that what you think?" Karina frowned and said with a faint smile: "In your heart, do I only like money? As long as it is money, I like it."

"Why did you say that?" Umi laughed dryly.

"I definitely didn't mean that, I just didn't want you to worry too much, and it's not a big deal."

Karina snorted and said, "I don't want the Golden City anymore."

"Oh why?" Umi was shocked.

"Because I don't like it." Karina blinked and said with a smile, "I don't plan to take it anyway."

"I don't like Tezzolo, please reject him."

"Oh, you are too willful." Wu Mi said with a black line, "I came to the Golden City specially for you."

"And isn't it true that people don't keep their words? What I hate most in my life is people who don't keep their words."

"So what, don't you agree?" Karina stood in front of Umi, raising her head slightly, opening her big watery eyes, with a seductive charm leaking from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and her small cherry-like mouth was slightly pursed. , pink lips are as greedy as jelly.

"Uh, promise, promise, you have the final say."

Wumi retreated in defeat, an evil fire rising in her heart. She couldn't hold it back anymore, so she hugged her and kissed her.

Such a bold move was really eye-catching. Many passers-by stopped to watch, some even clapped, and others whistled and gathered in a circle.

“Wow, I’m so bold.”

"That's great. I really want to fall in love with someone."

Karina shyly patted Umi's shoulder, but it took a while for Umi to let go. As a result, Karina almost lost her strength, her face turned crimson, and her eyes became blurred.

Of course, she reacted quickly, gritted her teeth, stepped on Wumi, and pulled Wumi away from the crowd in a hurry.

After that, the atmosphere between the two of them became ambiguous, and they spent a long time walking back to their eight-star hotel.

In the monitoring room at this time, Mr. Tanaka was having people clean the broken pieces of the wine glass, and turned to look at Tezzolo, who had a gloomy expression.

"Lord Tezolo, what should we do next?"
