Chapter 178
Crocodile came down from his office, and he, who holds the title of King Xia Qiwuhai, actually opened the entertainment city here openly, but it was just an entertainment city, the main thing was entertainment services, not his name.
Therefore, although Crocodile did not hide, he did not publicize it. Many people knew that he was Shichibukai under the king, and many people thought he was just a taller and rich man.
Walking down the first floor, he came to what his subordinates said was the place where the female naval rear admiral was making trouble. From a distance, he saw Skyler sitting at a gambling table, with delicious food in front of him, but no chips.
Skyler never took part in this kind of gambling, because there is no sense of "progress" in gambling, and the risks are high. Skyler would not throw his money in such an insecure place.
There are three reasons why she sits at the gaming table. The first reason is very simple, that is, it is close to the buffet table, and if she finishes eating, she can go over to replenish it at any time.
Although she ate up all the barbecue, there are still a lot of fruits, drinks, and desserts.
The second reason is to train her knowledge-colored arrogance. In her knowledge-colored domineering perception, she found that out of ten dealers, one or two will change cards and cooperate with a "person of her own".
However, the skill of changing cards is quite poor, it is entirely because there are four decks of cards, shuffled together, even if "one of us" draws the biggest card, it doesn't matter even if it is repeated, no one will doubt it.
However, once the cards are changed, the croupier will take away all the cards on the table in the next round, and directly replace the four decks of cards in the shuffler. Compared with the movies Skyler watched in his previous life, this technique is simply inferior.
The third reason, and the reason why Skyler can always sit here with relish, is that she likes to watch these gambling dogs lose everything, which is better than any opera.
Crocodile saw that it was really Skyler who came to "make trouble", stood still and took deep breaths, while thinking in his heart whether he was not careful enough.
A minute later, Crocodile came up with the answer that it was a coincidence that Skyler came here.
Crocodile strode forward and was about to call Skyler, but for a moment, he paused, then smiled, walked up to Skyler, and asked, "Ma'am, what can I do for you?" ?"
"Well, get me another fruit punch."
At this time, Skyler's knowledge and knowledge were all concentrated on the gambling table, and his mind was also concentrated, but he couldn't hear the familiar voice.
The reason she was so concentrated was that another gambling dog was about to go bankrupt!
Skyler replied casually, and handed back his empty cup, but he couldn't move his eyes away. Crocodile looked at the cup that Skyler handed over, and was stunned for a second.
But he still took the glass, and went to the bar to order a fruit punch, which is a non-alcoholic cocktail. Crocodile showed contempt, but still walked back with the fruit punch.
Coincidentally, at this time the croupier turned over the hole cards of "one of us" and said: "Peach Heart, 8 to Queen, win."
"My own person" showed a triumphant smile, and Skyler, the gambling dog who had been paying attention, slammed the table hard and shouted: "Damn!"
Skyler clapped his hands and said happily, "Good job!"
The gambling dog who had lost everything glared at Skyler, but when he saw Skyler's cloak of justice and the epaulets representing the major general of the headquarters, he immediately became depressed.
Crocodile, who was holding a fruit punch in one hand, saw this scene, and couldn't help but tapped his forehead with the curved arc of the golden hook. This vicious little girl, with such a vicious personality, didn't get hammered to death. ?
But thinking about it, Crocodile returned to Schuyler, put the fruit punch in Schuyler's hand, and said, "Ma'am, please enjoy your fruit punch."
Skyler nodded perfunctorily, but felt that the waiter behind him was very ignorant, and he was still standing behind him. Couldn't he see that he didn't have any bargaining chips? Still want a tip?
"See who can spend more than whom!"
Schuyler sneered in her heart, she couldn't afford the money, you must know that the minimum denomination of chips in this entertainment city is 1000 Baileys, because if you serve a glass of fruit punch, you have to give 1000 Baileys to the waiter? Don't even think about it!
But Skyler ignored it, but the others gradually calmed down, especially the dealer, who didn't even dare to deal the cards. He knew his boss. At this moment, Crocodile's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
The croupier swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and glanced at Skyler for help. The croupier heard from the manager that the boss was a big thief before running this entertainment city.
The croupier didn't want to offend the boss, or see the boss lose his temper, and he could clearly see that the one who made his boss dissatisfied was the rear admiral who was still occupying the position after he came over.
Skyler noticed the change in the atmosphere and saw the pitiful eyes of the croupier, but she didn't think the croupier's eyes were pitiful. After all, when he changed the cards, it was such a joy.
However, being stared at made Skyler dissatisfied, she frowned, looked back, and saw Crocodile with a displeased face, Skyler raised his broken eyebrows, and just said:
"Long time no see, came here to make a fortune?"
"It's just to support the family, but you. The official luck is prosperous!"
Crocodile spoke in a mocking tone, neither he nor Skyler felt anything wrong, after all, that was how they chatted before, but the people around the gaming table did not dare to breathe out at this time.
After all, a big pirate was talking to a Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters in a mocking tone.
Skyler also showed a disdainful smile, turned the swivel chair under her body, then raised her chin, gestured to the direction of the food bar, and said:
"If you're in business, if you can't make your customers happy, you can only support your family. I've been waiting for more than 20 minutes, and the new barbecue hasn't arrived yet. Your service here is really bad!"
When Crocodile heard this, he showed a dangerous smile. The only remaining hand was holding the golden hook that took the place of the other hand, like a crocodile lurking but about to kill.
The people around even stopped breathing at this time, not to mention panting, and they didn't even dare to supplement oxygen. The murderous Crocodile said viciously to the disdainful Schuyler:
"Okay! I'd like to show you how I treat guests! Come to the kitchen, and the labor and management will barbecue for you!"
"good!"
Skyler stood up, Crocodile led the way, and the two walked towards the back kitchen of the entertainment city, leaving only a group of staff and gambling dogs whose legs were weak from fright.
Seeing the backs of Crocodile and Skyler gradually leaving, they felt the absurdity of this world.
In the situation you just had, wouldn't it make sense not to have a life-and-death duel? ! What the hell is grilling meat yourself? !
Crocodile kicked open the door of the back kitchen, and the busy chefs stopped. The head chef, who wanted to be angry, was as quiet as a frightened quail when he saw Crocodile.
"Everyone, leave the tools and ingredients to the labor and management! Then go on vacation!"
Crocodile let out a roar, and the head chef quickly led the chefs away. Crocodile swung his arm, and the fur coat fell, caught by his golden hook, and finally flung it towards the locker next to the door.
Then he picked up a chef's robe, put it on his body, put the cigar in his mouth on the table, washed his hands and the gold hook at the sink, and skillfully skewered, grilled, and brushed the sauce.
Simultaneously manipulated a dozen barbecue sticks. When the first batch was completed, Crocodile turned his head and said to Skyler viciously:
"Why are you standing there?! Take a plate, knife and fork and prepare to eat meat!"
