One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons!

Casino lobby.

"Everyone, please take a look."

Under the command of the dealer's uncle, two toy robots appeared.

They sat on both sides of the gambling table and demonstrated the rules of the "Ghost Card" gambling game.

"Ding ding, dong dong!"

The toy robot took out a deck of playing cards, fifty-four in total.

Pull out the "Little King", leaving only one "Big King" JOKER.

"Ding ding dong dong, the gambling begins!"

The two toy robots began to draw cards each, and divided the fifty-three cards equally into their hands.

One person has twenty-seven cards, and one person has twenty-six cards.

They each find the "pair" of playing cards in their hands and discard them.

Subsequently, both parties began to draw cards from the opponent's hand in accordance with the order of guessing.

When the playing cards in your hand form a "pair", you can continue to discard them to further reduce the number of cards in your hand.

Soon, as the gambling game progressed, there were only "three" playing cards left in the hands of both parties.

Two for each person and one for each person.

The toy robot drew another card, forming a pair of "K"s, and discarded all the playing cards in his hand.

At this point, the only card left on the field is the "JOKER".

"Ding ding, dong dong!"

Another toy robot hugged its head and exclaimed, "I lost, I lost!"

"..."

"Guys, that's it."

The dealer's uncle grabbed the "JOKER" and grinned:

"The game of drawing ghost cards is a competition to see who gets the 'JOKER' in the end."

"Whoever gets the clown last is the loser."

"..."

A very classic poker game with simple and straightforward rules.

Even if you have never understood it before, you can quickly figure out the context.

"but……"

Crocodile held a cigar in his mouth and locked his gloomy eyes on the dealer.

"What does this have to do with us?"

In his opinion, the current situation is beneficial to himself.

In terms of force and means, their side with the greater number of people has the upper hand, so there is no need to create complications.

But the dealer's next words aroused Crocodile's interest.

"Guys, your goal is not just the 'four billion', right?"

"Hey Hey……"

“Of course it’s okay if you want to make money through casinos.”

"But with such a big fuss in the casino, the situation is not good now!"

The dealer's uncle analyzed slowly:

"No one wants to continue playing big stakes games with you."

"If you want to continue to get funding, you have to think of other ways."

"For example--"

"Consider my offer."

The dealer's uncle lifted his legs and walked among the crowd, laughing and explaining:

"The BOSS of our casino is very optimistic about you, so he entrusted me to hold a special gambling game."

"That means drawing ghost cards!"

"As a casino, we will use an additional 2 billion berries as gambling money."

The dealer's uncle took out the second gold card.

“In other words, this can be regarded as a big gamble between the four of you and the ‘casino’! "

"The winner will receive a gold card worth a total of six billion berries!"

"..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent.

Someone got interested.

Of course, some people are aware of the "conspiracy".

For example Rocinante.

He knew very well that the "casino BOSS" mentioned by the banker's uncle was probably his brother - Donquixote Doflamingo.

Rosinandi knew only too well the madness and insidiousness of that man.

The purpose of Doflamingo's proposal is not difficult to guess.

"He was trying to 'recycle' the money."

"Use two billion Beli as bait to plunder all the funds we collected!"

"but……"

Rocinante pursed her lips.

"I have to admit, he is right..."

According to the intelligence he collected, the World Government had previously purchased the surgical fruit at a sky-high price of "five billion berries."

If they did not participate in this "special gambling game", the funds in everyone's hands would only be 4 billion beri.

Not to mention, it also attracted the attention of the other three parties who are not weak.

"Is this an opportunity for a comeback?"

…

Compared to Rocinante, Crocodile has his own ideas.

He didn't care about the conspiracy involved, he was simply interested in the "six billion berries".

"A gambling game with ghost cards...? It sounds no different from a heads-up gambling game."

"We have four parties here, including the banker, there are five parties."

"So how to play this game?"

Hearing this, the dealer's uncle said with a sly smile: "Hehehehe, we have prepared an interesting gambling game!"

"It's not just about luck, it's also about competing on the levels of 'strength' and 'strategy'."

"Everyone, if you are interested, please go to the 'underground' of the casino."

"..."

…

A crowd of people are waiting——

Lindsay, Robin, Crocodile, Uta, Tezzolo;

Big Bear, Ivankov;

Rosinandi, Luo;

Cyrus, Scarlet;

A total of eleven people from the four parties, led by the dealer's uncle, came to the "underground" of the casino.

Although it is a temporary casino, with the help of the Don Quixote family, the "underground" decoration of the casino is not simple.

There are many "stands" on the outside, and in the middle is a huge "open space".

"According to BOSS, this place is reserved and will be opened when necessary."

The dealer's uncle bowed slightly and explained: "And now, it's that 'when necessary'."

"..."

He led everyone to the stands and looked down at the open space below.

Then, he took out four decks of playing cards and drew out four of them.

A total of two hundred and twelve cards were mixed together.

The dealer's uncle shuffled the cards and introduced:

"The people involved in the gambling game come from all directions."

"In other words, this is a 'four-way bet'!"

"Each side sends 'two people' to participate in the game, one of whom sits in the stands and draws cards in the order of the dice roll."

"The other four went to the clearing below."

The dealer's uncle randomly took out a "JOKER".

"At the beginning of the game, the four players will be assigned four ghost cards, which represent the four players in the open space."

"When a player's hand has more than or equal to two ghost cards that meet, the player corresponding to the ghost card must fight."

"A battle lasts up to three minutes."

"When the time is up, or one of the parties is defeated, the next round of card drawing must begin."

"The ghost card represented by the loser will be eliminated from the entire game."

The dealer's uncle placed the shuffled playing cards on the table and said with a smile:

"The victory condition of this game is that the 'player' must hold the 'ghost card' corresponding to himself!"

"So this bet not only tests luck, but also your 'force' and 'strategy'."

"Can you keep your own cards in your hands?"

"Can those who participate in the war defeat their opponents?"

"Is it a one-on-one challenge? Or is it a big melee with multiple players gathering together?"

"Hehehe, it's interesting when you think about it."

"But if no one from the four forces cracks the bet by the time the bet ends, then the banker will take all the money in the end and win all the bets!"

"——This is how the banker wins!"

"..."

The dealer's uncle spread out the two gold cards, which amounted to an astonishing sum of six billion beri.

"Guys, make your decision seriously!"

"Are you going to have another big gamble of 6 billion berries? Or are you going to have a good time here for 4 billion berries?"

"This is a rare opportunity!"
