Chapter 254: A Group of People

On this day, everyone in the casino understood a truth -

There is no such thing as a "winning general", and there is no such thing as a real "invincible gambler".

If you gamble for a long time, you will lose.

The reason why you haven't lost yet is just because you haven't gambled long enough, that's all!

……

In a heads-up game, Big Bear lost to Uta;

The total stakes are two billion berry.

After that, Uta lost again to the tall man;

The total stakes are three billion berry.

Immediately afterwards, the tall man lost to another "masked woman";

……

Due to the high-stakes nature of heads-up betting, both sides of the three games must be prepared to bet an equal amount of money.

In other words, by the end of the last game, the total stakes were already four billion berry!

What is this concept?

In the slave auction house of the Chambord Islands, it only costs 300,000 bellies to buy a human slave.

Even the most expensive female mermaid girl only needs 70 million berry!

Four billion berry is enough to change the economic structure of a small member state, even for a superpower like Alabastan!

And what about "casinos"?

Look at the performance of the casino dealer - the bald uncle, and it will naturally be clear.

He was leaning against the railing, his limbs twitching uncontrollably, his expression on the verge of losing control.

A full four billion berry!

The bounty of all the members of the Don Quixote family combined is not worth this huge amount of money!

"That's a ......"

"Whew! Call! ”

Uncle Dealer took a deep breath.

He wanted to report the situation in the casino as soon as possible, but he couldn't act for a while.

Three gambling games appeared one after another, whether it was "the amount involved" or "transfer speed", which far exceeded the carrying limit of ordinary casinos!

As for the true identities of the four gamblers, Uncle Banker has no way of knowing.

"One of them is the Revolutionary Army."

"What about the others? The Four Emperors? World government? I don't have a clue......"

“……”

Uncle Zhuang was so anxious that he scratched his head, and vaguely lost a few hairs.

The only thing that can ease him down, and it is also a blessing in misfortune, is the existence of the "gold card" prop.

In order to facilitate the large transaction of this auction, Doflamingo took advantage of the political credibility of King Riku to issue a "gold card".

With the king of the member country as a guarantee, the temporary item of "gold card" is naturally widely used.

This is also a guarantee that the casino will not close down due to the sudden lack of large funds!

"Total ...... All in all......"

Uncle Zhuang finally eased up, propped up his body, and said with difficulty: "No matter, I want to tell the young master the news here!" ”

……

The situation at the table has changed dramatically, and so has the reality.

In the casino lobby, the situation became chaotic and delicate for a while.

"Hey!"

Facing the tall man in the treasure, Uta and the little boy became angry at the same time.

The former felt that it was very embarrassing for him to be defeated by such an unreliable person.

The latter is obviously familiar with tall men.

He still remembered that before the move, the tall man repeatedly stressed to him that he had to be cautious this time.

The result?

"That's three billion Berry!"

The corners of the little boy's eyes twitched, and he said in a low voice: "Damn, you should stop it in time, that money is enough!" ”

"Don't be kidding, how can you contain 'him' with just three billion berry?"

The tall man was unaware of this, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, let's have some ice cream first!" ”

He took the few coins he had left, trotted all the way to the store, and bought three ice creams.

One for himself, one for the little boy, and one for Uta.

The little boy had just taken a few bites when he suddenly felt that he had been fooled, and directly stuffed the ice cream into the tall man's mouth.

"Ah, cold cold cold ......"

The tall man covered his head, "My head is going to be frozen!" ”

Little boy: "......"

Little boy: "Hey! ”

He had long since discovered the anomaly of tall men.

Since coming to Dressrosa, the man who already likes to play treasure has become more and more bad, as if he did it on purpose!

The answer was about to come out, and Uta on the side suddenly tilted his head and interjected:

"Sure enough, you're running away from something, aren't you?"

Tall man: "......"

He was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Ah, it's a very dangerous thing, don't ask again." ”

"As for now—"

The tall man picked up the little boy and forced him to Uta's side.

He grinned and said, "If there is a big mess in a while, please take care of him for the time being!" ”

Hearing this, Uta and the little boy were stunned.

"What?"

They watched as the tall man stepped forward and found the "masked woman" who had won him earlier.

It was a tall, elegant woman with reddish-pink hair that was braided at the back of her head.

Unlike everyone else present.

This woman does not have any special temperament, but looks very noble and gentle, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.

Compared to her, tall men are obviously much more aggressive.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

The tall man strode forward, then leaned down and stared into the masked woman's eyes.

He grinned and said, "You guy, you just cheated and changed cards!" Right? ”

The masked woman didn't say much, but said with a firm look in her eyes: "The outcome of the gamble just now has been decided." ”

"Huh?"

The tall man showed a fierce look and asked further: "Don't pretend to be garlic, you have definitely changed your cards just now." ”

He grabbed the masked woman's hand and glanced at it a few times, even more convinced.

"But it's not you who changes the cards, you have another helper!"

"Humph!"

The masked woman shook off the tall man's hand and turned to leave, but the latter was in hot pursuit.

The tall man said in a deep voice: "Give my money back, you don't know the importance of that money at all!" ”

“……”

"Really?"

The masked woman didn't speak, someone else spoke.

From the crowd of onlookers came another man of great strength, with long, curly hair and a two-handed sword on his back.

His voice was low, and he stood in front of the masked woman, helping him stop the tall man.

"First meeting."

The stout man held out his hand to the tall man, who smiled and shook it.

The arms of the two of them burst out, and each of them exerted force at the same time!

In unison, he said viciously:

"Y-good-ah——!"

For a moment, the scene became tense.

……

Not far away, many people were watching.

Among them naturally include Lindsay, Klockdahl, and Robin.

Lindsey bought a large pile of pizza and handed it to Crocodl and Robin.

The former is naturally rejected.

Lindsay didn't force it, but beckoned Uta to come back.

Uta grabbed Tezzolo's collar with one hand and the little boy's bandage with the other, dragging the two of them over.

The pizza continued to be slapped one by one, and Tezzolo just woke up, barely regaining his senses.

That's six people.

But there were more than six of them.

Right next to Lindsay, Big Bear and Ivankov were also pulled over at some point.

They wanted to find out the details of this group of people, but Lindsay discovered their whereabouts and picked them out, and finally stood aside awkwardly.

One person was given a piece of pizza, and finally reluctantly began to munch on it.

At this point, there were eight people in the group, and seven were already eating pizza.

Klockdahl: "......"

Klockdahl: "See what I'm doing?" ”

It wasn't until he had a piece of pizza that the crowd shifted their attention and continued to look not far away at the smell of gunpowder.

"Oh, no!"

Lindsay spoke suddenly, as if she had discovered something crucial.

Everyone's eyes came, and Lindsay said, "I forgot to buy a drink!" ”

Everyone: "......"

……

Eating pizza and drinking drinks.

Lindsay had only one feeling -

It's getting more and more lively.

The attraction of this Devil Fruit auction was indeed great, attracting many acquaintances from memory.

For example: "Big Bear" and "Ivankov" from the Revolutionary Army;

For example, "Don Quixote Rosindi" and "Trafalgar Rowe", who sought the fruits of surgery.

Another example is the royal family of Dressrosa, the princess "Scarlet", and her husband "Cyrus".
