On Hongye Island, a casino was bustling with people.
"Guys, the betting is on! Big Mom Pirates vs. Kuja Pirates, what time is it?"
"Of course Nine Snakes won. The Empress is at the peak of her power, but Big Mom has long been in decline. She will be clean unless she gets beaten up this time."
"Pfft hahahaha...are you a devil?"
"Don't be ridiculous, Auntie has been in the industry for forty years, and she has always occupied the throne of the strongest female pirate... In comparison, the Empress is just a yellow-haired girl." Someone has the strength to support Auntie.
"Does seniority make you great?"
A gambler sneered, "The owner of this island, the swordsman Ren, has only been famous for more than four months, but he has beaten the strong men of the entire sea into silence. Who dares to disapprove?"
Everyone: "..."
The casino was quiet for a moment.
Even if some people disagreed, considering that this is the headquarters of the Lion Heart Kingdom, they did not stand up to refute.
In addition to not daring, gamblers don’t want to take the risk of losing this one of the few carnival venues.
Gambling is generally not prohibited in this world, but because His Majesty Ren does not like gambling and drugs, many casinos in the United Kingdom of Lionheart have been shut down, and the remaining few are also strictly supervised, including some red light districts where silver is sold. After some renovation.
Most civilians applauded the Lionheart Kingdom's actions to close casinos, crack down on drug trafficking, and crack down on silver sales.
Of course, there were also the wails of some gamblers, drug addicts and LSPs.
In such a large and prosperous Hongye Island, there are only two legal underground casinos left. The area is small and expansion is not allowed, causing the interior to be very crowded every day.
At this time, outside the casino, two big men in black suits and sunglasses stood guard at the door like iron towers with meticulous expressions.
Everyone entering the casino must show their ID.
"Sir, according to the regulations of the Lionheart Kingdom, blind people are not allowed to enter the casino."
A blind gambler was stopped by a guard.
This blind man is about fifty years old, tall, with short black hair, a beard around his mouth, eyes closed, wearing a lavender kimono, a black and purple belt, and a white cloak.
He also held a staff knife in his hand and wooden shoes on his feet. He seemed to be a swordsman. The most striking thing was that he had a ferocious "x" shaped scar on the left side of his forehead. The scar extended to both eyes, making him lose his ability. vision.
This blind uncle was obviously very addicted to gambling. When he heard that the guard would not let him in, he became a little anxious:
"Why can't blind people enter? Is this discrimination?"
In the near future, the Empress and Kaido or Big Mom, the swordsman Ren and Hawkeye will have a duel, and many bets have already started.
If you don't let in, you will be in a hurry.
"No, because you can't see it and you might be deceived." The guard explained.
"Does the Lionheart Pirates still care about this?" the uncle muttered.
"Of course, not only blind people, but according to the law, pregnant women, patients with severe cardiovascular disease and minors under the age of 18 are not allowed to enter the casino. If the regulations are violated, the casino will be closed down." The guard said with a serious face.
There were people who did not follow the rules before. As a result, only the most honest and cautious two of the nine casinos on Hongye Island survived.
The blind uncle refused to give up and argued:
"I have friends inside and won't be deceived. Just be accommodating and let me in."
Not gambling for a day makes me feel uncomfortable, especially since the sea has been so busy recently and there are so many interesting bets.
"Even so, you have to go to the city hall and get a permit to enter and exit the casino." The guard was ruthless and did not give him a chance to get through.
The security brigade on the island is very strict in checking, sending plainclothes officers to check from time to time, and also accepts reports from the public.
The newly born and prosperous United Kingdom of Lionheart is far from being corrupted internally and its officials are corrupt and bending the law. No one dares to commit crimes.
"That's it."
The blind uncle touched the beard on his chin and said with some understanding, "I didn't expect that a country established by an arrogant pirate would have quite complete laws, which are quite strict and yet humane."
This was his biggest feeling after coming to Red Leaf Island.
Although it is not perfect, the swordsman Ren is obviously different from Kaidou's mother. It is not difficult to find that he still has the intention to do some practical things that benefit the country and the people.
The guard was startled and said quickly: "This gentleman, please stop talking."
"Why, aren't private people allowed to discuss His Majesty the King?"
"Okay, His Majesty the King doesn't care what others say about him, but I don't want to hear it." The guard looked cold.
"..."
The blind uncle was silent for a while.
He could feel that this person was unhappy because of what he said: "A country established by an arrogant pirate".
He found that many people on the island truly believed that they were in a great country with a wise and mighty leader.
So in just over two months, Lionheart Kingdom has gained some cohesion within itself.
The blind uncle used a stick knife as an ordinary walking stick to explore the way, turned around and left the casino, whispering to himself:
"He is an interesting person. He has been smeared and demonized too much in the newspapers... However, I still want to join the navy."
After thinking about it for a week, I still don't want to be a pirate, even though the bloodthirsty swordsman is considered a genius of his generation.
Issei (smile), that is, the future general Fujitora thought this way.
Of course, before continuing to consider these issues, we must first find a way to enter the casino...
The lifelong uncle hurriedly went to the city hall to apply for a "Disabled Gambling Venue Access Permit."
The waiter at the city hall was a young lady. Although she didn't know her appearance, she had a sweet voice. She repeatedly persuaded him that when people reach middle age, they should put family and career first. Gambling is risky and bets need to be cautious. It is best for blind people. It would be very embarrassing for him if someone accompanied him.
Lifetime: For the first time, I realized that it is so difficult to take a gamble.
As if thinking of something, or to test, he asked a little embarrassedly: "If I have a man's needs to be solved, you don't need to apply for any certificate here, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Yisheng could clearly feel that the young lady's eyes were full of contempt and deep disdain when she looked at him.
She curled her lips and said: "Master, you are really old-hearted and still do your job properly. I have been working here for two months and I have never seen such a dishonest blind person like you."
lifetime:"……"
This disgusting tone... I was an uncle just now, and now I am an uncle.
"About this, you can go to the bar on the commercial street and be generous. It's not difficult to spend the night at the girl's house or take her back to your residence." Although she was disgusted, the young lady still answered him.
“Isn’t there a specific place (for selling silver) on the island?”
"Yes, yes, in principle this is illegal, but this kind of thing cannot be completely eradicated... I remind you that if you are caught by the security brigade, you will need to be fined and a bad record will be left."
"oh."
He didn't seem to have much to say except oh.
The young lady mistook him for not caring and warned:
"In addition, those who gather to cause riots, illegally use aphrodisiacs, and take drugs... may face jail time or be fined."
"How much is the penalty?" Yisheng asked bravely.
"It depends on the plot. Does the big pirate Wen Xi know about it?"
"I know, he's a leader of the Lionheart Pirates."
"Last time, he was fined 5 million beli and detained for seven days for gathering a crowd for lewdness. The ticket with his face was posted in various red-light districts as a negative teaching material to alert the public."
"Ah this..."
"Of course, not everyone has this kind of treatment, but I think you should be careful with your conditions. If you are caught by the security brigade, it might be another classic negative case."
The young lady stared at the blind uncle and warned.
A blind man, who looks to be in his fifties, still gambles and goes whoring, this...
...It’s so bad, it’s taken to a new level.
lifetime:"……"
Hearing what she said, he couldn't help but shudder given his strength.
He was caught as a model for soliciting prostitution and became a negative example. His reputation was ruined... The unlucky guy named Wen Xi must have died in society, right?
He felt the need to explain: "Well, I actually only gamble and not whore. I just wanted to ask about the situation."
"I understand, I understand." The young lady smiled politely.
lifetime:"……"
What do you understand?
It felt like the way she looked at him was getting weirder and weirder.
Being stared at by the young lady with a special look, the uncle felt very bad and embarrassed. He couldn't stay in this place any longer. He hurried away with his staff and knife, looking a little embarrassed.
After leaving the city hall, he went straight to the small casino and entered smoothly with his certificate. He won the handicap of "Hawkeye" Mihawk vs. Swordsman Wren, over 2 million Bailey Wren.
At the same time, in the handicap of Kaido of the Beasts vs. the Empress, Kaido won with over 500,000 Baileys.
In the VIP room on the second floor of the casino, Nana was wearing a dark-style Gothic lolita skirt. She crossed her arms and looked down at the blind uncle standing in front of the gaming table and said, "This bad old man is the top player worthy of attention in the captain's mouth." ?”
She suspected that the boss might have recognized the wrong person.
At this time, the blind uncle stood in front of a French roulette wheel on a gambling table, holding his staff and knife, with a confident smile on his face. After placing his bet, he murmured to himself in a slightly excited tone:
"White, white...white!"
This look is like being possessed by an evil spirit.
Nana: "..."
( ̄△ ̄;)
At first glance, he looked like an old prostitute...well, an old gambler.
"Perhaps this is what folk experts are like."
Wen Xi wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead and explained, but he himself didn't believe it.
He has 10 scars on his forehead, is blind, has short black hair, is about fifty years old, holds a cane sword, and is used to wearing kimono and wooden shoes... It is correct to pay attention to people with such characteristics as the boss asked.
"Awesome, blind uncle."
"This luck is simply unreasonable, it's been five consecutive victories!"
"Could it be that there's a cheat?"
The casino was very lively, and a group of gamblers had gathered around Uncle Yisheng.
They shouted excitedly, worshiping the blind man as the god of gambling, and followed suit in betting, which put a lot of pressure on the croupier and casino dealer.
"Expert?"
Nana looked down at the life possessed by the God of Gamblers, and glanced at the tall and muscular Wen Xi next to her. She curled her lips and said, "This guy is quite similar to you. The difference is that one is a gambler and the other is a prostitute. From this aspect, it is true that The level is quite high.”
Wen Xi looked embarrassed and said nothing: "..."
Some time ago, he was caught in a riot during a gathering, which almost cost him his life.
Because the head of the public security management department is Rob Lucci, who is famous for being selfless and unkind, even he will be arrested without fail.
Fines and social death are still small matters, but they cannot make the captain dislike him.
In order to restore his image in the captain's mind, Wen Xi took the initiative to embark on the arduous task of "finding the top masters hidden among the people."
It has been two months since the captain of this mission was released within the pirate group, and it still uses the phantom species and vampire form as a reward, but there is still no interest in it.
Because everyone doesn't think that there can be top powerhouses comparable to the generals and the four emperors among the people.
Even if there is, it's probably impossible to find it since it's been hidden so deep.
Wen Xi also accepted this task with the idea of "paying for his crimes and making meritorious services", so that the leaders would notice my efforts to change my ways.
Originally, he had no expectations, but who knew that a suspicious target appeared on Hongye Island a week ago...
"It seems quite unreliable."
Wen Xi glanced down at the blind gambler who was already a god, winning 8 roulette hands in a row and being worshiped by everyone, and his face twitched a few times.
Awesome, uncle.
Eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, at least in this gambling business, he was willing to be the loser.
Wen Xi muttered: "Sister Na, do you see anything?"
He knew that Nana's perception was relatively sharp. Not to mention the mysterious captain, at least Yuzhiliu and Barrett's perception could not be compared with hers.
After all, he was a figure who was suspected of being a top powerhouse. He did not dare to judge, follow or contact him randomly, so he called Nana.
Nana shrugged and said, "I can see that his gambling skills are very good."
Wen Xi: "..."
Σ(?д?;)
Sister Na, be serious.
"I can't tell how strong it is, but it's not a bastard. You can inform the captain." Nana said with a serious expression on her face.
Wisdom, color, and domineering are not a universal scanner. When others deliberately hide it, it is difficult to judge a person's specific strength just by looking at it.
Only by testing the opponent directly and facing the opponent's momentum and murderous intention can we make a general judgment.
At this time, the blind uncle blended into the crowd, completely in the state of daily life, and it was difficult to see the depth of it.
Nana only knew that the opponent was definitely not a bastard, and his fighting ability would not be too bad.
Plus the characteristics are so consistent, I can inform the boss.
He mentioned that after discovering the target, do not alert the other party and let him talk in person.
"That's it."
Wen Xi hesitated.
The boss has actually been quite busy recently. He seems to be at some critical moment. He is almost invisible. Except for Xiliu who is practicing swordsmanship, everyone rarely bothers him in the laboratory or the villa.
But if a top civilian powerhouse is involved, I still have to disturb him.
This kind of master is no cabbage.
Even for the Lion Heart Kingdom where there are many masters, the more the better.
…………
Hongye Island, villa in the western suburbs.
Although he became the Five Emperors and the King of the Lion Heart Kingdom, Renn did not live in any luxurious palace or castle.
He likes small two- or three-story villas in the suburbs, which make him feel very comfortable.
This habit has been going on for a while. At first, he stayed at the home of his first love girlfriend Keisha (Catherine). Later, he simply slept with the hostess and became his own home.
Vinsmoke Reiju is currently the mistress of the family and the quasi-queen of Lionheart, at least on the surface.
At this time, she brought some cakes and tea and put them on the table:
"Xike, you have rarely come in during this period."
"It's inconvenient to interrupt. After all, you are the queen."
Stussy wore a classic black suit skirt, which was simple yet sophisticated, with a white shirt underneath, looking smart and capable.
Although she often appears by Ren's side, she usually does not enter the house after Ren has Reiju taking care of him.
Unless he has a need from a man, she will come in and serve...
"Do not make jokes."
Reijusu fiddled with Pink Liuhai and complained, "He has never touched me. At home, my job is to wash, cook and do housework every day. I am no different from a maid."
How can a king engage in scientific research and practice swordsmanship every day, while leaving the queen aside?
"Really? That's really strange. I can bear it like this."
Stussy had a look of surprise on her face.
She looked at Reijiu. She had light makeup on her face and was wearing an elegant white short-sleeved dress, revealing her white-skinned arms. Her tall and plump breasts were ready to be revealed, her buttocks were attractively curved, and she also had a pair of vivid breasts. Fair and long legs.
No matter how you look at it, she is a great beauty, with a good temper and personality, and she is also a princess of the same country.
Anyway, Stussy felt that Reiju was more suitable for the boss than Nico Robin and Kalifa.
I just don’t know why, even though Renn is an LSP, he’s not in a hurry to eat her.
"lets change a topic."
Reijiu looked depressed, thinking that her requirements were low enough, but in the end, he was still completely immersed in his research and hard training, and didn't pay much attention to her. She sighed and said, "Is there anything wrong here?"
"Well, when he comes back tonight, tell him that the person he is looking for has appeared..."
Stussy told him a few words, didn't stay long, and left in a hurry.
As the intelligence department of the Lionheart Kingdom expanded, she became increasingly busy as the person in charge, and could not always stay by the boss's side as before.
Of course, she enjoys this busy life.
Intelligence officers always like to look more valuable.
Unlike Reiju, she was almost reduced to a vase during this period.
…………
New world, near the sea of all nations.
Under a clear blue sky, a large fleet consisting of more than forty pirate ships marched toward Cake Island in a mighty manner. The fleet was very fast, leaving lines of white waves on the rippling blue sea.
It is less than 30 kilometers away from the sea on the edge of Big Mom's Totland Kingdom, and the two sides will be in contact soon.
"Stay alert, we will meet soon."
"Understood, everything is fine... Well, there is a boat over there!"
On the Gorgon, a female pirate raised her telescope and suddenly shouted.
In front of the fleet, a small boat was approaching.
At first glance, it looked like just a small merchant ship, but an ordinary small merchant ship would have been scared away, let alone approaching a large pirate fleet.
And as the distance between the two sides increases, you can see that the surface and sails of the small merchant ship are covered with green vines, and there are even some blooming flowers, which is very strange.
On the bow of the boat stood a tall man with a powerful aura.
He has a smile on his face, has curly black hair, wears sunglasses, has strong and well-proportioned eight-pack abs, has slender legs, has a tattoo of "Heart of Death River" on his upper left half, and wears pants with patterns on his left leg.
"Hahahaha... Long time no see, Anna. You are so arrogant as soon as you arrive in the new world. Are you rushing to be a flower fertilizer?"
