"Really, it's an eyesore."
Walking out of the lonely street, Robin pinched the brim of his hat and pulled it down a little.
Ross also reached out and gently pressed the leather hat on his head, covering most of his face, and said: "There should be nothing worth paying attention to in such a remote place. Let's go to the central town."
Robin followed Ross silently.
After walking through one street after another, the road gradually opened up, and the environment also changed relatively clearly. From a dark and dirty scene with dried blood stains from time to time, it gradually turned into a normal bluestone path.
When they came to this area, although many eyes fell on Ross and Robin, most of them glanced at them. Only a few of them secretly peeked, but that was limited to snooping.
Gradually.
Rhodes and Robin came to the central city of the Lawless Island. The environment here became completely different from the border. Both sides were lined with luxuriously decorated pubs or casinos, making it a bustling scene.
There is a constant flow of people on the street, and from time to time you can see people dressed like noble gentlemen, walking on the street with a girl in their arms, followed by many guards.
"Just wander around."
Because there was no accurate information or target, he came here just to see if he could hit valuable prey. After scanning the street, Rhodes casually walked towards the casino next to him.
Entering the casino, Ross exchanged 10,000 beli chips casually and threw them away casually, while Robin lowered his head and looked around, and finally shook his head slightly at Ross.
"Walk."
Rhodes casually threw the last bit of chips onto the gambling table. After losing, he and Robin left the casino and walked to another casino in the back that looked bigger.
This time Rhodes didn't even plan to exchange his chips. He walked in and planned to walk around in a circle until there was no prey or anything like that, then turned around and left. But what he didn't expect was that in this casino, Rhodes discovered a command. He is an extremely unexpected person.
"Is it white? I won again. I'm so sorry."
An old man with closed eyes, wearing a loose lavender kimono and a shaggy beard, was sitting on the side of a gambling table, touching the back of his head with one hand and showing a simple smile.
"It's him?"
Ross looked at the blind man in purple sitting there, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
If we follow normal historical development, two years after Luffy goes to sea, the blind man in purple will participate in the world conscription, and with monster-level strength, he will be promoted to the rank of Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!
His identity is revealed.
Fujitora, smile!
Rhodes once considered the issue of combatants on his ship. Although Lafitte was good, he could not assume a position of strong combat power. Fujitora was one of the people Rhodes considered, but now The problem is that we meet each other a little too early.
Although the opponent's performance is that he adheres to justice and is a kind person, his behavior style, whether it is the meteorite falling from the sky to shock Doflamingo, or the fearless quarrel with Marshal Akainu for justice, it is revealed that he belongs to the strong. arrogant.
In fact.
Every strong man has his own arrogance. If his strength is not stronger than Fujitora, it is almost impossible to recruit Fujitora on board.
"In exchange for one hundred thousand beli chips."
Ross pondered for a moment, exchanged a chip at the front desk of the casino, walked towards Fujitora's gambling table, and sat on an empty seat.
At this time, Fujitora had just received the chips he had won from the dealer.
“…”
Robin followed Ross, and she also noticed Fujitora.
Even in a non-combat state, Haki Haki can slightly perceive a person's strength, and the feeling Fujitora gave her was that it was extremely heavy and depressing!
Just like an ordinary flesh and blood body, looking at a towering steel fortress, there is a feeling of insignificance that cannot be shaken no matter what.
this person…
Robin's eyes were solemn, but she did not speak. She knew that she could detect the difference in Fujitora. Ross must have noticed it a long time ago and did not need her to remind him anything.
After coming to the gambling table and sitting down, Rhodes exhaled and stared at the rotating roulette wheel. He released his domineering aura and began to capture the movement of the ball on the roulette wheel.
“…please place your bet.”
After the croupier spun the roulette wheel, he waved for everyone to place their bets.
Ross stared at the ball, seeing that his domineering power had reached its limit. After a moment, he gently pushed out a few chips.
"black."
Fujitora, who was sitting on the other side of the table, caught Ross's movements, paused for a moment, smiled innocently, pushed the chips out, and said, "I'll bet on black, too."
As the rotation of the roulette wheel gradually slowed down, the ball finally stopped and fell into a black grid.
The croupier took back the chips he had bet on white with an expressionless face, handed over the chips won by Fujitora Rhodes and others, and then spun the roulette wheel again.
This time.
Almost as soon as the roulette wheel turned and the ball bounced twice, Fujitora gently pushed the chips out.
"White."
"sharp… "
Ross sighed softly. Sure enough, Fujitora's power of seeing and hearing was much stronger than him. Before he could capture anything, Fujitora had already determined the final landing point.
After pausing for a second, he also pushed a chip to the white betting point.
The final landing point of the ball is indeed white.
Fujitora took the chips he had won from the dealer, showed an embarrassed smile, touched the back of his head, and said, "It's nothing, I just happen to be lucky."
Half an hour later.
The chips in front of Rhodes reached 500,000 Baileys, while the chips in front of Fujitora reached more than 900,000 Baileys. There were also many people surrounding them who were betting with the two.
There was already a trace of cold sweat on the croupier's forehead. Although Ross and Fujitora didn't bet much each time, just a small amount of chips, their winning streak attracted countless people to follow and place bets, which led to his Losses began to mount.
"I'm very sorry, we need to check the roulette wheel on this table."
The insiders of the casino finally couldn't sit still and came over with seven or eight people to stop everyone from placing bets.
At this moment, Robin, who was standing behind Ross, leaned over and whispered in Ross's ear.
"The one who just came down from the second floor is the 'Tearer' Mo Gu, who has a bounty of 71 million Baileys. It seems that he is leaving."
"I see."
Ross nodded, looked at Fujitora aside, and said with a smile: "I have something to do first, but before I leave, I want to gamble with you again. If I win, all the chips will be yours, how about that?"
"Oh, do you want to bet all? I wonder how you want to bet?"
Fujitora was gathering the chips in front of him. When he heard Ross's words, he paused slightly, put his hands on the chips and asked.
Rhodes tapped the table with his fingers. The roulette wheel, which was being inspected by a group of casino personnel, suddenly jumped up, pulled out from the table, and landed between Rhodes and Fujitora.
"this… "
"what happened?"
Everyone was startled and looked at this scene in shock, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
Ross gently picked up the ball, threw it into the roulette wheel, and snapped his fingers with his backhand. The twisting force was slightly stimulated, and the entire roulette wheel began to spin rapidly.
"That's it..."
Fujitora nodded, thought for a second, gently pushed out the chips in front of him, and said, "If I give it my all, I'll bet on white."
Click! Click!
Under the influence of the force of distortion, the entire roulette wheel showed signs of fragmentation and slowly stopped. After bouncing a few times, the ball finally landed on the white grid.
"I lost."
Ross stood up without any look of frustration, pushed the chips to Fujitora, turned and walked out of the casino, and said with a faint smile: "If there is a chance in the future, let's bet again."
"Well, I'll definitely accompany you."
Fujitora smiled and nodded, stood up, and put away the chips on the table.
