Living in a high-risk world

"Gulan Tesoro" is a [-]-meter-long super battleship made entirely of gold. On this ship is the world's largest entertainment city. Although it has no fixed land, it is still recognized by the world government as a independent country.

And the owner of this ship, Gilder Tesoro, nicknamed the Golden Emperor, is also a rare business prodigy. It is said that it took him only ten years to become the world's richest man from obscurity.

Because Zaoyue and Ace came in a small boat, they didn't attract much attention at first.

After boarding the warship that built the world's largest entertainment city and also a casino city, Zaoyue was quickly attracted by various entertainment activities and performances inside.

This city is somewhat similar to the Las Vegas that she visited during her previous life vacation, but compared to the casinos she visited in her previous life, the entertainment here is obviously richer and more diverse, except for the traditional and common forms of gambling , There are actually activities similar to real people eating chicken.

However, before participating in these projects, Pele needs to be converted into a common bargaining chip in the city.

After exchanging 2000 million chips for the time being, the two began to wander around the city, taking part in projects they saw that they were interested in.

Because many of them are very entertaining game items, even if they lose, they will not make people too frustrated. It feels like spending money to buy fun. Anyway, the most important thing is to participate and have fun.

However, when they were enjoying themselves in various areas, they didn't know that they were in the monitoring center of this warship.

In the large room like the headquarters, there are over a thousand screens on the wall, giving a panoramic view of every corner of the warship.

"It's really an unexpected big fish!"

In front of these screens, there is a sofa on the raised steps. A burly man with short gray-green hair and a star-shaped ornament is sitting on it, watching the player who is in front of a betting board on one of the screens. Zaoyue and Ace showed grim smiles full of ambition and calculation.

"Gulan Tesoro" is indeed a legitimate country, and all the activities and business projects carried out on it are approved by the world government.However, its owner, Gilder Tesoro, was able to accumulate huge wealth controlling 20.00% of the world's Pele in such a short period of time, becoming the world's richest man, and even able to influence the power of the world government with the money in his hands. Obviously he The means of making a fortune are not all relying on formal channels.

Regarding this point, even if the high-level government is well aware of it, but in the face of such a powerful capital force, there is no substantive evidence, so they can only turn a blind eye to it.

Like for that, Doflamingo who is a business partner with Tesoro.

Even though he knew that Doflamingo had a pivotal position in the underground trading market, and he used Qiwuhai's identity as a cover to own a large number of illegal industries.

However, because the other party was too cunning and leaked nothing on the surface, the navy had been unable to find evidence for so many years, and kicked him out of Qiwuhai for arrest.

As for this moment, Tesoro was holding a roster in his hand.On the opened page, the left and right are the reward orders of Zaoyue and Ace respectively.

This is the largest casino in the world. Since ancient times, there have been wins and losses related to gambling.

On this ship island, every day there are scenes of getting rich overnight, going bankrupt and even losing freedom, such scenes of great joy and great sorrow.

Unlike those bounty hunters and human traffickers on the Chambord Islands who attacked the pirates with high bounties with obvious goals, the traps set on this ship under the guise of gambling obviously required More stealthy and ingenious.

Doflamingo's illegal business involves many aspects. In addition to the arms business of producing weapons, he also authorizes human trading, provides slave services for Tianlong people and wealthy nobles, and even involves the trading of devil fruits.His influence spreads all over the world, and he is involved in almost every business imaginable. Naturally, his trading partners are not limited to the nobles of the world, but also those that the world government does not allow to assist. Kaido of the beast.

Kaido seems to be interested in the thirteen pirates that the world government announced in the newspaper some time ago and was listed as the "evil generation", and he is intending to subdue them to his subordinates for his own use.

Of course, this is just speculation made by Tesoro from the content of a call with Doflamingo not long ago.

It’s hard to guess exactly what kind of mind such a willful big man like the Four Emperors is, but it is certain that Kaido is indeed interested in this group of pirates from the “Evil Generation” who have entered the great channel one after another. Now that people are coming to his ship, That would not prevent him from selling favors along the way.

However, the two targets are both nature-type, so I'm afraid it will take a little effort to deal with them.

……

On the other hand, on a ship of the Revolutionary Army.

"This guy Max is really...unable to contact again." Kerla is trying to contact a soldier of the Revolutionary Army, but it seems that there is no response from the other side, which makes Kerla can't help complaining about the other side's Not reliable.

In the same cabin, Sabo was lying on the hammock next to him, looking leisurely: "Probably waiting for the result of the bet."

Although the Revolutionary Army has long planned to investigate the underground industrial chain behind Doflamingo, and whether it is involved in deliberately provoking wars between countries in various regions in order to sell weapons and ammunition.

However, the Don Quixote family led by Doflamingo seems to have some kind of weirdness in the place where Dressrosa is located. Judging from the past action records of the Revolutionary Army, they should have sent people to investigate several times. There is no context, and it is impossible to find out who were sent at that time.

Because the past attempts to investigate Dressrosa were unsuccessful, the Revolutionary Army has now decided to change direction and turn to Tesoro, who has business cooperation with Doflamingo according to the currently known information.

It is reported that it uses the resources of its casinos to set up certain valuable people who enter the casino, so that these people lose their fortunes and eventually become slaves, and then resell them to the docking population market, for those who no longer look down on ordinary people, The nobles of the world who want high bounty pirates to serve as slaves provide sources of supply.

In order to investigate the details of the behind-the-scenes transactions, He Tesoro's vast wealth was applied to that.Not long ago, the Revolutionary Army sent a member who was proficient in gambling to enter "Gulan Tesoro" as a gambler, and first inquired about information in the casino.

However, starting this morning, the revolutionary army personnel could no longer be contacted.

I don't know if it's an old habit of gambling, and I'm addicted to the turntable, or there's something wrong with my actions.

……

Back to the casino.

"Huh? VIP floor?"

Zaoyue looked at the woman named Bacala who claimed to be the receptionist in front of her.

"That's right." Bacala said to them with a professional smile, "You two are also well-known figures in the sea today. Originally, after you boarded this ship, there should be someone to receive you, but there is no first one. It was time to find out that the two of you had arrived, so in order to make up for the mistakes made by the casino, I will receive you to the VIP floor and enjoy a higher level of service."

Although what the other party said sounded reasonable, it still gave Zaoyue a weird feeling.

Even Ace seemed uninterested and didn't immediately respond to the beautiful receptionist's words.

"Are you worried that you can't afford to lose?" Seeing their seemingly wait-and-see attitude, Bacala just asked casually without any other meaning, and then said, "Don't worry about this, for senior customers like you, the casino is Offer to provide 3000 million chips as a deposit for you to spend on this ship at will."

Seeing that they seemed a little moved after hearing this, she added another sentence.

"Even if you lose all of them, you don't have to pay back the 3000 million."

The other party was instigated to such an extent that Zaoyue felt that it was a bit apologetic for the special arrangement of the casino if he didn't go to see what the casino was up to.

Besides, even if she really set a trap, she has nothing to be afraid of at her current level.

Ace next to him obviously had the same idea.

They have all come out and become pirates in the sea. If you don't have the courage to hesitate and look forward and backward when things happen, it's better to live a stable life of ordinary people in your hometown.

Soon, the two said in unison: "Okay!"

Then, following the lead of the beautiful receptionist, they came to the VIP floor that the other party said.

Judging from the surface decoration, it is indeed worthy of the VIP floor. Almost from the ceiling to the surrounding walls to the ground under the feet, it is all glittering with gold.

And on this floor, they also met the owner of the ship—Gilder Tesoro.

The richest man in the world, nicknamed the Golden Emperor, seems to have a special liking for gold. It is not only used to build the entire ship, but gold decorations can be seen everywhere in the buildings and every corner of the city.Including himself, he also wears a lot of gold ornaments.

Huh……?Zaoyue was on this floor, and suddenly found a person she knew before, who was Karina who had passed by before, but separated after Carnival City.

"Welcome, welcome. It's really a surprise that two young and promising captains are willing to visit this city."

At this point Tesoro seemed to greet them very warmly.

Ace responded heartily to the other party's greeting.

However, he didn't say too many polite words, and the other party started to introduce the topic.

This is the largest casino in the world, so the main topic is gambling.

Hearing that the other party said that he happened to be free at this time, he accompanied them to play a few games.

"Why don't you play mahjong." Zaoyue suggested.

"What is this?" Ace asked.

After Zaoyue explained the rules, Shun Shun saw that Ace's expression had become blank, and he said "I don't understand" and "It's too troublesome" quite directly.

"It's okay! I'm very good at this game, you can watch me play." Zaoyue replied confidently, as if she was sure to win.

Seeing this, Tesoro thought deeply.

As a giant in the gaming industry, he is naturally familiar with the mahjong mentioned by Zaoyue just now, and knows the basic rules of the game.

After thinking for a while, Tesoro put on a warm smile again and said: "This game needs four people to play. Mr. Ace will not participate, so let me invite Miss Singer to fill in this vacancy. Don't worry, Karina is a singer invited from outside, and she won't cooperate with us in cheating."

Karina seemed to completely treat Zaoyue as a stranger, and didn't recognize her intentions at all. At this time, she just pretended to be weak and said: "I need to understand the rules again, it sounds a bit complicated~"

"It doesn't matter even if you collude to play three against one." Zaoyue said disapprovingly, as if she was sure of winning.

It also succeeded in making everyone present feel that although she seemed to have bad luck when playing other games before, at least she is a master in mahjong.

In other words, her gambling luck was all on mahjong.

Bacala smiled and said, "Hehe, I will take the rest of the position."

Soon, the four of them sat down at the mahjong table.

Then the staff of the casino put a pair of golden mahjong in the middle of the table.

After the cards are shuffled, it's time to build their own cards.

At this time, the other three people on the mahjong table realized that Zaoyue didn't look at the cards he was holding from the beginning to the end, and just got the hand and put it down without looking at the cards.

It's the same when playing cards later, I just believe in luck, and play whichever one is randomly drawn, as if I am extremely confident in my own card luck.

The author has something to say:

I remember that there is a version of the translation, when the Navy internally refers to Brother Ming as "Sea Rogue", I feel that this nickname is quite expressive (in fact, the correct term is "joker")

There are about two or three chapters left. First, I have to do a few tricks with Kaido to stabilize my position, and then I went to Silver to read the manga of fattening.
