People are pirates, opening the era of games

"Pooh!

Let me take a large lead bullet! "

The pirate Graves was particularly excited about the sudden appearance, and he was angry because Drizzt slipped away.

These two pirates were the punching bags that came to their door. Luffy and Ace watched from the rooftop on the other side as the two ungrateful pirates were blasted to pieces by gunfire.

But the matter was far from over. Just when Graves was about to go to the tavern to have a drink, a burly man covered in black armor and with shark teeth appeared.

The large lead bullets could not cause much damage to him at all. Adhering to the principle of running away if he could not be hit, Graves ran away, but the big man was extremely fast.

Blocking his retreat, Graves couldn't help but curse.

Luffy and Ace saw this and stepped forward to help. Although they didn't know the purpose of the two teenagers who suddenly popped up, it was a good idea to use them to get rid of the haunting ghost in front of them.

At this time, the rotating cards appeared again under the three people's feet.

The armored man jumped into the air and swung the mace in his hand. Graves, Luffy and Ace were teleported away at the same time.

Hu~hu~

The dizziness disappeared, and the sound of blowing came from the blind area of ​​vision.

Luffy and Ashton were immediately alert, but Graves, the outlaw, was not worried at all and walked inside with a slur in his mouth.

This room was once the place where he and the card master Drizzt conspired. Although several years have passed, the furnishings in the room have not changed much.

"I saved your life! Graves, do you still plan to continue chasing me?"

Card Master Drizzt held a gold-plated porcelain cup in his hand, and the hot milk tea inside exuded a mellow aroma.

There were three identical cups on the table in front of him, but Graves didn't seem to appreciate them.

Click!

Loading the bullets for the big gun in his hand, he raised his hand and aimed at Drizzt's head, "I just need to pull the trigger, and your head will explode in the next second, and your brains will splatter."

"Perhaps you could give me some time to listen carefully before you do this."

Luffy and Ace also walked in, and Drizzt smiled lightly and said: "Excellent young men, please take a seat.

I heard you guys got the stamp of approval from Miss Fortune. What a great bunch of guys.

You are very much like us back then. "

As he spoke, Drizzt glanced at Graves, who also put down his gun without trying to keep up his dignity.

Despite this, he still spoke harshly and only gave Drizzt 10 minutes.

Drizzt made tea for the three of them and began to tell what happened that year, but judging from his time point, this guy didn't intend to listen to Graves.

"Actually, my birth name is not Drizzt. Even you, Graves, don't know this."

"I'm not interested in those, but don't forget that we met there." Graves dismissed it. If he hadn't encountered Drizzt in the casino, he might not be so embarrassed.

"There is a group of river nomads in the Serpent River Delta near Bilgewater, and a boy was born there. His name was Tobias Felix.

Like most river bums, he learned from an early age what it was like to be unacceptable.

Everywhere the river vagabonds went, the locals only cared about the exotic goods they brought and stayed away from their special living customs.

For this reason, no matter where the river nomads anchored, their colorful sailing ships could only stay on this continent for a very short time.

The elders of the Dahe clan often sigh helplessly, saying that this is the way of the world...but Tobias holds a grudge against all of this.

Finally, in a casual tent, he felt his true calling.

When he slowly approached the table and picked up the cards placed on it, he immediately realized the game skills of "Death Wheel" and "Cone Thorn".

Years ago, his superstitious grandfather had taught him how to read omens from shuffling and cutting cards.

And his aunt taught him in later years how to observe the information revealed in his opponent's movements.

Because of these two skills, Tobias performs well in extremely high-risk card games. He is like a long-experienced card master who can almost feel the position of every card in the deck.

He knows every hand of cards by heart, and because he wins too much, some people will always say that he cheated, but it is difficult for anyone to find out Tobias' tricks, and he has escaped many punishments.

How can one not keep his shoes wet while standing by the river? Finally one night, a group of people lost everything in a bet with Tobias.

They returned in the dead of night to seek revenge, armed with short clubs at their waists and emboldened by drink, they searched every tent in search of Tobias.

The other river vagabonds he saw were also beaten up without saying a word. The young Tobias was proficient in cards but not yet good at magic, so he could only escape by night.

It wasn't until the first ray of sunlight at dawn shone across the entire Rune Continent that he timidly returned to the tent.

He found that the tribesmen were already packing up their tents, and no one was looking at him.

Tobias knew that he only cared about himself, but let his tribe bear the consequences for him.

In the end, the River Nomads ignored Tobias's pleas and banished him.

At this moment, his world collapsed. Tobias looked helplessly at the sails going away, leaving him alone on the shore.

The money he had won before was also looted and taken away. He was penniless and only had the old deck of playing cards left by his grandfather, which he held tightly in his hands.

The years of wandering always passed quickly. Tobias grew up. Every time he visited a town or settlement, he would go to the local gambling hall to make money and make a living by relying on his extraordinary card skills.

After experiencing the lessons of his youth, Tobias is now much calmer.

When he meets some guys who are boastful, arrogant and cruel, he will take extra care of them and help them avoid the "troubles" caused by having money. At the same time, he is always careful to keep his opponents in check. Win a few at the right time.

The most important change for him was at a gambling table, where he met an unkind guy named Malcolm Graves. "

Finally hearing Drizzt's point, the male gunman couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He had been patiently trying to hear the truth from Drizzt's mouth.

When Drizzt said this, he turned his head and glanced at Graves, and then said:

“Both people saw their own reflections in each other, and after a brief exchange, they both determined that the person in front of them could cooperate.

After that, the pair went on a variety of secret adventures over the years, tracking the northeastern coastal towns and beyond.

After every cheat and robbery, Tobias could feel the gravity of the cards he owned.

He knew that it was not just the gambler's luck that guided him forward, but the crude magic and 'card divination' that his tribe had always disliked.

And now Tobias is looking for a more dangerous way to bend the cards to his will! "
