Chapter 82: VIP
"Don't come unharmed! Princess Mononoke! ā
Smiling at Perona who flew in front of him, Lance said hello. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
And the crew, who was still a little nervous, also swept away the previous uneasiness because Perona was the only one who appeared, and was chased by a group of soldiers with guns.
"Humph! This bunch is over to you! ā
Like Brooke, this Perona also has the attribute of self-cooked.
At this point, Perona spoke as if she were facing a partner who had been with each other day and night, not at all like enemies who had been hostile to each other not long ago.
"Hey! Those weirdos over there, don't stand in our way to hunt down the 'criminals' who disrupt our business! ā
I didn't hear the conversation between Perona and Lance, and I didn't see Lance and the others helping Perona, so the soldiers at the head just thought that it was a group of passers-by who were messing in, and didn't treat them as mature people.
However, in the confusion, the soldier unexpectedly saw from a distance that there seemed to be a moving skeleton in the crowd.
Although there was a feeling of uncertainty, subconsciously, he did not choose to break through roughly.
In fact, this soldier's judgment is also eight or nine.
Sometimes, though, even if you make the right judgment, things don't necessarily go your way.
For example, now.
"Don't be in a hurry to make way." Glancing at Perona, who was running farther and farther away, Lance stopped the group of pursuers: "I'm curious why you guys would go after a 'little girl'." ā
"You ......"
"Hello sir, here's the thing." stopped a subordinate who wanted to get angry, and the man in the suit who led the way was surprisingly polite.
"The lady in front of us used the Devil Fruit ability to peek at the roll of the dice, and although we didn't succeed in redeeming chips after we found out, she made a mess of our casino. That's why we're here to arrest them. ā
Hearing the narration of the red-collared man in the suit in front of him, Lance was also slightly stunned.
What about the villains who said that they would turn their faces and beat them up by themselves?
"Since you didn't lose chips, you might as well leave it at that. Harmony makes money! ā
It seemed that the red-collared man in the suit at the head didn't plan to do anything, and since that was the case, Lance felt that it would be okay to spare their lives.
After all, if Capone is forced in a hurry and causes Capone to tear up the ticket, it will be a bit uneconomical.
"Haha, think about it, it's better to have more than less!" Unexpectedly, he didn't turn his face, but the man in the red-collar suit smiled heartily, as if he accepted Lance's "suggestion".
"Mr. Kay?!" Although the man in the red-collar suit behaved very generously, his subordinates couldn't accept this result, and his face was full of incredible expressions in an instant, and he even couldn't help but let out a surprise.
"Shut up!"
After scolding the subordinates who didn't finish speaking, the man in the red-collar suit then turned his head to look at Lance: "I wonder if I can make friends with Your Excellency?" ā
Looking at the harmless expression of the man in the red-collared suit, Lance was a little confused for a while.
Could it be that the scene where he killed "Stripped Essence" Jain not long ago was seen by this person or his subordinates?
But as the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.
Since the man in the red-collared suit wanted to be friendly, Lance didn't mind "making friends" with the other party.
"My name is Lance." Staring at the smiling eyes of the man in the red-collared suit, Lance was the first to report his name, paused and added, "Captain of the Ghost Pirates!" ā
"Ah, it's Captain Lance, I'm glad I am! In Lower Ters Kay, he is the head of security at the 'Goldmine' casino, which is owned by the 'Ironstone Chamber of Commerce'. Texkai straightened his suit and bowed slightly: "It's a great honor to have the honor of getting acquainted with Captain Lance today. I hope that our rude actions just now did not offend Captain Lance, and I hope you will bear with me. ā
Hearing that he was about to lift himself up to the sky, Lance couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
However, since the other party is so "giving face", then he has no choice but to accept this "favor".
"Well, if it's nothing, then I won't bother."
Not the best at talking to this kind of communicative person, Lance waved his hand to signal that he was leaving.
"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Teskai called out to Lance, and took out a golden card in the pocket of his jacket that shimmered in the sun: "This is the VIP card of the 'Gold Mine' casino, if you can enjoy your face, you will enjoy the most high-end service of the 'Gold Mine' casino." Please refrain from being polite. ā
"Thank you......"
Casually taking the membership card that seemed to be made of pure gold, Lance led the group of Hearts Pirates to leave in a hurry.
If it's a fight with the other party, Lance doesn't have to worry.
If he fights wits with the other party, Lance also trusts his own mind.
But if it's a quarrel with each other, especially if it's polite to each other, Lance will be a hundred uncomfortable.
ā¦ā¦
"Hey! Kook! ā
Not long after returning to the ship, Perona unsurprisingly approached the door.
"Do you know those guys?"
I don't know what the attributes of this Perona are, as if she had forgotten the previous battle at this time, she quickly forcibly "integrated" into Lance's group.
"I didn't know each other before, but now, I don't know if it's 'knowing'." Playing with the VIP card given to him by Teskai, Lance was thinking about his next plan.
"Weirdo, what the hell have you done to Lord Moria!"
Taking a step forward, Perona crossed her waist with her left hand, and stretched out her right index finger to point directly at Lance, like an image of a "tsundere Lori".
However, in the face of this Lori girl, everyone, including Brooke and Bartolomeo, took a step back.
They don't want to experience that feeling of being extremely negative and worse than death.
"I've run away, what else can I do!"
At the beginning, Lance was going to tease Perona, but when he looked at Perona's strange eyes, he suddenly lost his interest and gave the answer directly.
"Huh? Are you sure? Perona's face flashed with incredulity.
"Isn't your boss's best thing to do is to slip away? That hand of 'Shadow Escape' is quite skillful! ā
Although she didn't understand what "Shadow Escape" meant, Perona also roughly understood what Lance meant.
"Great......" was affirmed by Lance, and Perona's tense heart finally relaxed.
