Chapter 222 Trust the Captain
"Onn, what on earth is going on..."
In the muscle turtle convertible, Yamato couldn't help but curiously asked Orn.
[Writing this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→𝗍𝗐𝗄𝖺𝗇.𝖼𝗈𝗆]
Although she was dazzled by the wealth and excitement in the Golden City, she could still clearly sense that her man had become a little strange since he entered the Golden City.
Before Yamato could finish speaking, Aoun stopped him with a look, then used Mjolnir to release a weak electric current that swept across the entire turtle car, and soon pulled out a small toddler from under the steering wheel. Phone bug.
After casually sticking the baby's phone bug to a passing fire hydrant, Orn breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Okay, now we can communicate without any worries."
"Captain, what is going on?"
Laura was the first to ask, with a strange blush on her face. She was obviously still concerned about Aoun forcibly pulling her into the car.
"You all should know that I am thinking about Tezzolo's money."
Aoun glanced at the three women and saw them all nodding before continuing:
"It's very simple. At the same time that I was thinking about his money, this guy was obviously also thinking about me. The golden waterway was the first test, and the woman named Baccarat just now was the second test."
He didn't feel comfortable directly pointing out that the other party was a lucky fruit user, so he could only vaguely say:
"Don't you think it's strange? The temperature in this golden city is so high, and that woman is not a dealer, but she always wears thick black gloves."
After Aoun reminded him, Robin, who had the fastest brain, reacted immediately:
"You mean, that woman is a devil fruit user?"
Aoun nodded slightly:
"Yes, although the ability is unknown, it is definitely a contact ability. In addition, the billion chips given to us must not have any good intentions.
I estimate that Rhea and the others will not only lose all their money, but they may also be coaxed into owing more money. "
"Once we owe a huge amount of gambling money, the only two options before us are to resist or to lose money obediently."
Robin pondered and said:
"No matter which option he chooses, it is absolutely beneficial to him. After all, the Golden City is his home court. Whether it is resistance or compensation, we will only be losers in the end. Even if we successfully escape from the Golden City, with the help of him and Tianlong Relationships with people will definitely make you feel uncomfortable...
No wonder Gilder Tezzolo was able to build such a huge golden city in just a dozen years. It turned out that he relied entirely on such despicable methods. "
"Okay, it turns out that the green-haired man had this idea!" After hearing the analysis of Aoun and Yamato, Yamato couldn't help but feel angry and itched his teeth:
"Let's just give him a good lesson!"
Aoun smiled and knocked Yamato on the little head:
"Breaking your face with him is the worst of the worst. Don't forget, there are many people from the navy and the World Government in this golden city.
Once we reveal that we are strong enough to easily defeat Tezoro, all the benefits promised to us by the World Government will be in vain, and even my current reputation as a Shichibukai will be in vain. "
"Then, what should we do?" Yamato asked somewhat puzzled.
She can fight with one person against a thousand, but playing with her brain is not her strong point.
"Simple." Aoun snapped his fingers:
"Doesn't he want to use money to control us? Then it will be fine if we make enough money in his hands. As long as the four of us make more than Rhea and the others lose, then Tezzolo will naturally We can’t help it.”
"But it's probably not that easy to win enough money from him. After all, we don't know how much money Rhea and the others will lose to Tezzolo."
Robin frowned and said this.
"That's why I have to take you three alone." Aoun casually put his arm around Robin's shoulders and said with a smile:
"In this golden city, there are many projects that are suitable for your abilities."
Speaking of this, Aoun stepped on the brakes of the turtle car and stopped it in front of a very large building. Everyone looked up and found that the sign above said:
"Turtle Racing."
Seeing the arrival of the four Ornns, a girl in a bunny girl outfit jumped over and introduced:
"This is a turtle race that can ignore any rules. Each time you participate, you need to pay one million beli chips. The winner can take away the chips paid by other participants."
"One million Baileys?" Aoun's lips curved with disdain:
"Too little. Is there anyone who charges more for a game?"
"Of course, I wonder how much stakes the guest wants to play?" the bunny girl asked with a smile.
Aoun casually threw four crystal chips over:
"Four hundred million."
"Ah~ So four...ah? Four hundred million?!" The bunny girl almost bit off her tongue after realizing it, and then hurriedly expressed that she needed to ask her superiors for instructions.
…………
In the large private room on the top floor of the Goldfinger Tower, Tezzolo was lying on his back on a large comfortable sofa, sipping red wine.
Pfft~
After a strange sound, a big-headed dwarf dressed as a little devil emerged from the ground.
This person's name is "Tanaka", he is a person with the ability to penetrate the fruit, and he is Tezoro's most trusted butler besides Baccarat.
"Sir Tezolo, the Turtle Car Racing team reported that Eric Aoun wants to play the Turtle Car Gambling Game worth 400 million."
Tanaka stood respectfully beside Tezolo and asked Tezolo if he would agree to Aoun's request.
Tezzolo shook the red wine glass and asked lazily:
"Where's Baccarat?"
Mr. Tanaka replied: "The subordinate responsible for entertaining Aoun."
After hearing this, Tezzolo hesitated for a moment and then said:
"That's all, it's just 400 million. Send someone to agree to his request, and then send a team of people to join the game. It's best to win all the 400 million he has in this wave."
"As you command!"
After a while, the turtle car racing competition, which required 400 million chips as a ticket, was held.
Playing such a huge racing match immediately attracted the attention of many spectators.
Those who had no money sat in the audience to see who would be the big winner tonight, while those who had money were gearing up one by one, as if they were determined to win the 400 million chips from all the contestants.
According to the last statistics, 6 groups of contestants had signed up. Even Tezzolo was secretly surprised when he heard about this showdown with a total value of more than 2.4 billion. He quickly turned on the big TV in the private room and watched the turtle car racing. The current situation of the game.
I saw six turtle cars of different shapes lined up on the track. Among them, the turtle car on the far left was the most conspicuous because there were two delicate beauties sitting in it.
"Ready, GO!"
As the signal light came on, the five turtle cars immediately jumped out of the track like arrows. Only the turtle car controlled by two beauties remained parked in place.
Just when everyone thought that these two beauties were about to lose 400 million, the pink-haired one of the two beauties actually climbed to the front of the turtle car and put his hand on the track. .
Immediately afterwards, another silver-haired beauty turned the car key, and the turtle car immediately jumped out of the arena.
"well?!"
The audience couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw this. They thought it was a communication error between the two car owners. Some of the timid female audience members even covered their eyes in despair, fearing that they would see a bloody and cruel scene in the next second. .
But at this moment, an incredible scene happened.
The pink-haired beauty with her hand on the track was not only unscathed after the turtle car sped away, but she even had no intention of taking her hand back.
Just when everyone was scratching their heads, someone in the audience suddenly exclaimed:
"Why is that car so fast?"
The audience who heard this did not realize until this moment that the speed of this turtle car was as fast as lightning. It was obviously nearly ten seconds slower than the other five car owners before starting the car, but it quickly caught up with the fifth and fourth placers. name.
"It's a track! Look, the track they passed is glowing!"
A spectator in the front row saw the doorway and exclaimed while pointing to the smooth and shiny track after being touched. (Because all the debris was slid away, it was not the ability that had an effect on the road)
Everyone suddenly realized that this pink-haired beauty was a Devil Fruit user. No wonder she dared to let others get ahead of her when facing a competition with a prize of up to 2.4 billion Beli.
In the stadium, watching the turtle cars driven by two women pass the fifth and fourth place in succession, the top three team members nervously turned their heads to look back at Laura who was lying in front of the car, and then showed extremely shocked expressions.
He actually has this kind of ability. This ability is simply made for racing!
However, since they have the guts to participate in a competition worth 400 million beli, they are all veterans of racing competitions all year round. The three teams laughed ferociously and immediately took action.
I saw three teams of people maneuvering the turtle car in a tacit understanding to squeeze towards Yamato and Laura's car. The first one occupied the lane where Laura was, preventing Yamato from overtaking.
The driver in second place signaled his companions in the same car to take out a hand-held cannon, and fired a cannon at Yamato's turtle car.
The driver in third place was even more vicious. He pressed a button on the steering wheel with a grin.
The next second, sharp spikes emerged from the four wheels of the turtle car the man was riding on, piercing Yamato's tires.
For a time, Yamato and Laura's drive was full of dangers.
Whether the driver was hit by a cannonball or the tires were punctured by spikes while traveling at high speed, death seemed to be the only option waiting for these two beauties.
Just when all the viewers thought that these two women were destined to be eliminated, a shocking reversal occurred.
I saw that Laura did not panic, but temporarily withdrew her hand that was pressed on the track.
Without the 0 friction effect of the slippery fruit, the speed of the turtle car without any modifications instantly dropped several times.
This sudden change caught the second and third place players off guard.
The third man drove into the lane where Yamato was driving before and was hit by the shell fired by the second man. The man and the car were directly blown into the sky.
The second man saw that he accidentally injured the third man, but he didn't feel any guilt at all. He just smiled and opened fire again.
This move angered Laura. She pulled out the two swords behind her and swung them out. The flying slash cut the opponent's turtle car in half while cutting through the shells, causing the two people on the car to fall into a gourd on the ground.
In this race, only the first and second place were left. Lola once again caught up with the first place with the power of 0 friction.
The first place driver was quite capable. Not only did he firmly occupy the lane, but he also had a powerful swordsman in the car, who could easily reach Lola's flying slash.
Seeing the two cars getting closer and closer to the finish line, Yamato finally got a little anxious. She grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and pulled out Ajian from behind with the other hand and swung it with a whistling arrow.
The frost stick energy that jumped up from the bottom hit the chassis of the first place car, and the turtle car was unbalanced and flew out. At the same time, Lola's hand had already grabbed the ribbon on the finish line.
Whoosh! ~
The turtle car sped past, and the heroic figures of the two women were played on the big screen. The audience cheered and boiled, and they were all excited about tonight's race.
"Lord Tezoro, we let them win. What should we do?"
On the top floor of the Golden Finger Tower, Mr. Tanaka looked at the screen and couldn't help sweating.
"What does it matter?" Tezoro still crossed his legs, looking relaxed and comfortable: "It's just 2.4 billion Baileys."
As he said that, he picked up a remote control and pressed it on the big screen, and the screen immediately switched to a gambling table in the VIP box.
A man in a suit sat at one end of the gambling table, and the dice cup in front of him was a garbage number of 112.
At the other end of the gambling table, Rea, who was originally sweating all over his face, couldn't help laughing proudly at the sky, and kept shouting:
"It's a comeback, it's a comeback, no matter how unlucky I am, I can't throw a smaller number than 112!"
As he said that, the dice cup was opened, and there were three dice with a point of 1 inside.
Bakara, who had already taken off her gloves beside Rea, couldn't help but laugh proudly:
"What a coincidence, Miss Rea, it seems that the goddess of luck is not on your side today."
At this point, Bakara took out an IOU from her lapel and placed it in front of the dejected Rea:
"This time, including the losses you and your partners have made before, the total is 10 billion Baileys. I wonder when you plan to pay it back?"
"No, your hand!" Luo, who had been standing behind Rea and watching all this coldly, suddenly revealed the key to the matter:
"All of us have been losing since we were touched by your hands without gloves. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?"
Hearing this, Bakara was shocked. She didn't expect that she was still discovered even though she was so covert. The face of Tezoro in front of the screen also changed.
He had been ready to use his ability to instantly control several people when Rea lost money, but when he activated his ability, he was surprised to find that these people did not have his gold powder!
Just when he thought that Bakara was afraid of his life, he saw a one-armed man stopping the boy with a spotted hat:
"Luo, don't act rashly."
"But..." Looking at the thugs rushing in from all directions, Luo's face was full of entanglement.
Payton patted Luo's shoulder gently, then raised his head and stared at the Den Den Mushi placed on the ceiling, and said four words lightly:
"Believe in the captain."
