Behind the scenes of One Piece

The next day, Guli and Gadreau took old Charlie to Claude's casino.

They came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.

Under the guise of Claude, Bellamy caused so much chaos in the town, there was no reason not to come.

While the three of them were waiting in the exclusive cafe in the casino, Claude was competing with Bellamy.

“What’s going on, aren’t you the powerful people under Joker?

How could he be defeated so easily?

Now that old Charlie is here, what should I do? "

Bellamy showed his unruly smile: "It's just a matter of winning or losing! None of Joker's truly powerful people have come. When they come, you will naturally make a comeback!"

"Then when will they come? I'm afraid old Charlie won't give me time to wait!"

Bellamy frowned and said, "It's up to you to fight for time! Joker and the others have super-fast transportation and can get here in about 7 days. You only need to delay it for 7 days!"

Claude stared at Bellamy for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "Okay, I will try my best to delay them for seven days. After seven days, they must show up!"

After saying this, he gritted his teeth and stood up, going to see Old Charlie and the others.

Sure enough, as soon as Claude sat down, old Charlie coughed, stretched out his right index finger, and knocked on the table: "Claude, what do I do to you?"

Claude pretended to be stupid and said: "How about what? We have been neighbors in Magic Valley Town for so many years, so naturally we are friends who can cooperate."

Old Charlie said: "You got this casino from me."

Claude said: "I won this by gambling. Now that I have made the casino bigger, do you want to regret it?"

Old Charlie said: "I gave you the casino, but I didn't say I would give it to you in the pubs outside."

Claude felt guilty, but now he had no way out, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "My backer behind the scenes is Joker. I believe you already know it. If you want to deal with me now, wait until Joker comes in two days. There is no good fruit for you to eat!”

This is a mental battle. Although Joker has not come here, he has a good reputation. As long as he is moved out, old Charlie must weigh the consequences if he wants to take action.

As expected, old Charlie frowned.

Although Guli is powerful, he is definitely incomparable to a figure like Joker who has been famous in the underworld for a long time.

Ace seems to be different from him, and there is no way to use Ace's tiger skin.

He looked at Gu Li with some embarrassment.

The latter took over the conversation and asked Claude: "You said it was him? Who knows if you were deceiving him under the banner of Joker?"

"Of course it's him! Those two powerful guys who showed up yesterday are his men..."

"Oh? You mean the two people we killed? Are they really Joker's people? Doesn't that mean he's all such a weakling?"

After being teased by Gu Li, if Claude wanted to prove that he was relying on the real Joker, he would have to have powerful people appear and defeat them.

"Seven days!" Claude gritted his teeth and said, "Within seven days, Joker will arrive at Magic Valley Town with his senior cadres! So you'd better be honest and don't make an enemy of me."

Guli estimated the time. According to the development of the plot, Luffy and the others would have to rest for four or five days in Alabasta, and then it would take more than five days to go out to sea to get here. Then they would stay on the island for two days and then fly to Sky Island. That is, Doflamingo will not set foot on this island for at least twelve days.

The Claude in front of me didn't know where he got the news for seven days, but it was definitely wrong.

So he stood up and said, "I bet they won't come in seven days!"

Not to be outdone, Claude also stood up: "I will definitely come!"

"Then, how about we make a bet?"

"Just bet!"

Claude was also forced to the cliff. Faced with the aggressiveness of the three people in front of him, he had to be tougher.

What's more, Claude's nickname is "Gambler", and gamblers are naturally not afraid of gambling!

"How to bet?" Old Charlie asked.

"Bet on whether Joker will send someone more powerful than me to Magic Valley Town within seven days. If so, we are willing to admit defeat and stop causing trouble to Claude; if not..."

Claude shouted: "If not, I will return this casino to you. Anyway, I won it in a bet with old Charlie!"

Gu Li thought about his mission, shook his head and said: "No, just having a casino is not enough, we want your people."

"My people?" Claude didn't understand what he meant.

"It's you. If you lose, you have to sign a deed of sale!" Old Charlie said, taking out a contract document that had been prepared for a long time. It was obvious that he had been prepared for it.

Claude originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought about it: If Joker comes within seven days and he wins everything, of course it will be easy to say; if he doesn't come, what does that mean?It means that you have been abandoned!Then surrendering to old Charlie by yourself seems to be a solution.

He took the contract in Old Charlie's hand and read it for himself, and saw that the terms above were very restrained. Except that the key decisions of operating the casino required Old Charlie's consent and [-]% of the profits needed to be handed over, there were no Other uncomfortable limitations.

To some extent, the conditions offered by Old Charlie are much better than those offered by Joker.Claude figured this out and agreed.

While the two were discussing, Guli opened the system and found the "contract card" from the card pile. It clearly stated: The content agreed by both parties can be forcibly recognized after being recorded by this card. result.

So he activated the card and recorded the process of the two parties confirming the bet.

"Okay, now that everything is settled, let's say goodbye. If you lose the bet after 7 days, I hope you are willing to admit defeat."

After seeing off the three people, Claude hurried to the house where Bellamy was:

"Is there any news from Joker? I just promised them to sign a contract of sale!"

Bellamy was staring blankly at the phone bug and gestured to him to shut up.

The two of them stared at the phone bug together. After half an hour, the bug finally started ringing.

"Bellamy! Are you looking for me?" Doflamingo's voice came from the other end.

"Lord Joker, it's like this. We encountered resistance from a local snake force on the island. Both Lord Gladius and Lord Baffaro were knocked unconscious!"

Bellamy fully expected that after saying this, Doflamingo would become furious and send someone over immediately.

Unexpectedly, Brother Ming was silent for a long time before he said, "It's hard to win the Demon Valley Town? Let's take it easy first."

"Sir, the other side is also very reluctant to win. I guarantee that as long as a senior cadre comes over, we can win against the other side!"

"No, I'm not free recently, and neither are the senior cadres, so don't do anything about it yet." Brother Ming said on the other end of the phone.

"Ah? Believe me, my lord, this operation to seize the territory is really just the last step!"

"No, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the situation has changed too fast." Brother Ming said: "I have to rush to the Navy for a meeting in the next few days, because Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai, was... The pirate group has been killed!"
