The Pirate's Magnetic Apotheosis
Chapter 21
In the blink of an eye, the morning light had already shone on the window, and the bar was in a mess. The air contained some dust that was floating irregularly, reflecting bright pathways. .
A beam of light reflected diagonally on his closed eyes. The man moved his eyebrows, flattened his mouth, and slowly opened his eyes.
He patted both sides of his head vigorously with both hands. He drank too much last night and it hurt his health. Even after a long sleep, his mind was still drowsy. Everything he saw was blurry, as if he had a double image.
Like a salted fish that was not completely dried, Johnny lay on the table, turned over numbly, fell from the chair decisively, and successfully knocked his head.
Cursing and muttering a few words, he raised his hand and grabbed the edge of the table to push himself up. He looked around and was shocked to find that there was no one in the tavern. Just when he was puzzled, the noise outside was not thick. The wooden walls reached his ears.
Opening the door, Johnny looked through the gap in the crowd and saw a large group of people forming a large circle, with three floors inside and three floors outside, densely packed with people.
In addition to the sailors who knew each other from their own ship, there were also many local residents, foreign tourists, and even a few fierce-looking, naked strong men, who at first glance were not good people.
The reason why so many people gathered must be the small wooden table in the middle of the vacant area, and the two people sitting opposite each other on the table.
He took a few steps forward, apologizing, pushing without hesitation, and reached the front row in a few moments.
He arched his head and stood next to a quiet young man who was staring attentively. His soft light green bangs hung gently from the top of his head, revealing only a left eye with a gray-blue pupil. Although this look made Johnny feel strange, he couldn't help it. Not to mention that overall it is cute and very unique.
He shook his head, returned to the topic, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"Oh~~~"
Before he could get a reply, the crowd suddenly became excited, blowing different whistles and clapping noisily and irregularly. Everyone looked extremely excited.
Johnny, who was caught off guard, was so frightened that he couldn't help but shrink back. The next moment he reacted, he felt a little embarrassed. I don't know whether it was shame or because he had not completely escaped the influence of alcohol, but his face turned red.
Johnny felt someone next to him poke his waist, and turned around to find that it was the boy.
"Hey, see for yourself."
As he spoke, he pointed to the center of the field with his hand.
At this time, Johnny, who had regained his composure, looked at the central table.
I saw a blond young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a blue and white striped metal mask, wearing a familiar blue sailor sweatshirt and shorts. He was holding a small brown bowl in one hand and leaning on it with the other hand. table, expertly playing with the two dice in the palm of his hand.
Money has been tight for the two of them recently. Ever since Kidd got rich, he has been spending a lot of money.
Unable to bear poverty, he came up with the idea of letting his best friend Kira act as a gambler visiting the island. Kidd was naturally the mastermind behind the scenes, secretly sticking a corresponding number of invisible iron particles in the depressions. , hearing Kira’s voice and making changes accordingly.
This is an important commodity transfer station in the South China Sea, a rich fur production area, and many navy personnel are stationed here.
The leader has reached the rank of brigadier general, and his military strength cannot be ignored. Under the combined influence of various factors, the security here is commendable.
So far, the two of them have successfully deceived four gambling gangsters, as well as a pirate who came here temporarily to stay but was honest and did not cause trouble. This is the fifth one, and the bounty is not big or small. Captain Thief.
On the other hand, the person opposite was dripping with cold sweat, his brows were wrinkled in several layers, his eyes were undisguisedly panicked, his dry hands were crossed in a believer's prayer gesture, and he was mumbling as if he was trying to suppress his inner anxiety.
“Sell big and win big, buy small and lose small.”
While collecting money, the banker and witness shouted in an ups and downs, calling for more people to participate. Anyway, it is impossible for him to lose money. The only difference is that he wins more and loses less.
The invisible face of the blond young man showed a kind smile, and he looked to the opposite side playfully. He exuded a very gentle aura, like a boy next door, which made people feel kind and approachable.
However, after watching no less than five rounds of overwhelming matches, everyone felt that he, shrouded in a mask, was definitely a deceptive and unblinking demon.
"Are they gambling?"
Johnny still felt confused when he recognized the young man with dazzling blond hair as the "little monster" Kira.
The cute boy with green hair covering his eyes was very patient and explained in a low voice, "Well, the blond young man set up a ring on the street and invited people to challenge him.
To this end, he also paid a lot of the money he earned to the town's casino, and invited a witness who was stingy but unambiguous in his actions.
You can put money on both sides and decide how much you win or lose based on the changing multiplier at any time in each round.
The gambling method is to guess the odd or even number, one person shakes once, and it is a best-of-three game.
The unlucky pirate had already lost two games in a row. "
Johnny touched his nose and didn't see it. Not only was this kid good with his hands, but he was also very good at gambling.
"And this is the fifth game. The golden retriever and five people have won all fourteen games in five games."
"Many people think he is a cheater, but many people who say they know a little bit about him have gone to see him, but no problem has been found."
A passerby standing on the other side of Johnny heard their conversation, became interested, and came over to pick up the conversation.
"Yeah, I really can't believe that there is such amazing gambling skills in this world!"
"Brother, don't you press down a little?"
"Oh?" Johnny asked strangely, "According to what you said, the one with blond hair will definitely win, so why bet on this?"
“But you have to know that there is no shortage of speculators in this world. Gamblers who are eager to achieve success in one go will consider themselves unlucky if they lose, but if they win, the happiness they get will be more than doubled.
Of course, normal people like us naturally have an advantage over that golden retriever. Although we won less, we can still win, right? "
Johnny shook his head after hearing this, "You're right, but I still press the other side."
Seeing the question marks popping up on the heads next to him, he explained, "I know him very well. He just embarrassed me yesterday. He will definitely win today, and I won't suppress him."
"Hey~ If you have a conflict with anyone, don't get into trouble with money. It's really..."
The passerby who kindly reminded him sighed. Of course he could do nothing against such a stubborn person. He took out all the money in his pocket and handed it to the smiling banker together with Johnny.
"Are you betting on singles and doubles?"
"I……"
The pirate opposite was so nervous that he could almost hear the pounding of his heartbeat. He tried his best to keep his eyes wide open and stared at Kira, as if he could find some loopholes in this way.
"Press double!"
"So……"
Kira used a bowl to press the dice, shaking it irregularly on the table. The attention of the people around him was also firmly glued to the bowl, and the mood of the pirate he was gambling with became dull as the dice and the inner wall of the bowl changed. The sound rises and falls.
In that pirate's eyes, time seemed to have passed a century.
Finally, the brown bowl stopped, Kira slowly raised his hand, and revealed the final result to the opposite side.
The pirate's throat rolled, he swallowed, and tremblingly opened the brown bowl.
On the side facing the first dice, two rows of six small blue dots appeared in everyone's eyes. Turning to look at the second dice, two larger blue dots informed the results one by one.
"...I won, won!"
The pirate couldn't believe his eyes. He wiped his eyes and finally confirmed that he had broken the opponent's winning streak.
"Congratulations, the money I stake this time is also yours."
Kira was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and no longer thought about it. He stood up calmly and insisted to the crowd, then shrugged, passed through the crowd and disappeared.
Unexpectedly, Johnny, who thought he was almost certain to lose money, began to feel sorry for the three thousand beli he took out. However, the contrast in the result was so great that his immediate feeling was not joy but surprise.
After realizing that he had really made money, he happily patted the shoulder of the man who had tried to dissuade him but now looked depressed, and together with several gamblers who had finally made a fortune after losing money, they went forward to collect several times the deposit. Bailey.
Kira, who was far away from the crowd, walked to the corner and handed the money she had earned to Kidd. At the same time, she asked puzzledly, "Why didn't you control the last round?"
"You are wrong, Kira," Kidd showed a meaningful smile, "I have not stopped controlling, on the contrary, I am still controlling very seriously."
"what do you mean……"
"Ah, yes, I did it on purpose."
"...for long-term interests?"
Kira and Kidd, who was leading the way, asked as they walked.
"Although we have to park here for a few days, there are also reasons for this, but the most important thing is..."
Kidd turned around and glanced at him, "Don't you think it would be more interesting to lose money occasionally and always win~"
"..."
The two of them walked briskly and soon arrived at the edge of the village. They could clearly see the vast and majestic mountains, the tall ancient trees in the mountains, and the lush and lush plants everywhere.
Because they were bored, Kidd and Kira made an appointment to go on an adventure in the mountains after five rounds of gambling to look for prey. They could also relax in the embrace of nature and relieve the fatigue of many days of sailing and boating.
The village where they stayed was located on a gentle hill. The end of the hill was a steep cliff. Weeds grew wildly. Normally, the villagers would not come here. It should have been deserted.
However, a twisted path with sparse green grass that had been trampled over the years ended at the top of the cliff.
"This……"
The two people, who were enjoying the mountain breeze with open arms, noticed something strange here at the same time and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Just when Kira was about to speak, Kid's pupils shrank, he made a silent gesture, and slowly crawled down among the weeds beside him, hiding his figure.
Kira followed suit. It didn't matter if he lay down anyway, so he hid quietly.
Two minutes later, a clear sound of footsteps flowed into their ears from far to near.
