Pirates of the Dead - Chapter 223
At the same time, the higher-ups of the royal family were not against the arrival of the pirates. They even had a welcoming attitude. It could not be helped.
The consumption ability of the pirates was not inferior to those of rich people and nobles. It was enough to make Durham’ earn a lot of wealth.
“Hahaha, I won again. Give me the money!”
“Damn, it is small. If I lose this time, all the money I get this time will be gone!”
“Again, again, this time, I will bet big!”
“…!”
The golden and luxurious gambling scene was bustling with noise and excitement. The civilians, the rich, the nobles, and the pirates threw their chips to the gambling table in a stimulating atmosphere.
At the gambling table, it was also very lively at this time. Many people were surrounding themselves and betting again, secretly looking at a person sitting at the gambling table.
It was not because of how handsome and charming this person was. On the contrary, he was an ugly man with a sharp mouth and a monkey-like face, and a look of excessive indulgence.
The eyes with deep dark circles were bloodshot, and this person stared wide at the dice cup that had been shaken on the gambling table, looking like he had lost.
“This person is unlucky. This is the first time I have seen someone lose more than thirty times in a row!”
“Hehe, today is too lucky. With such an unlucky person here, it will be difficult for me to lose!”
“Shh, don’t be so loud. This guy is a pirate. Silently make a fortune. If we anger the other party, we will be in danger!”
“Tsk, what are you afraid of? Remember that the white-beard pirates cover this place. What pirates dare to mess around here!”
“..!”
These people, secretly looking at the pointed-mouthed monkey-chin man, regarded this person as a fat sheep. They would bet on the opposite place if the other party laid something. Undoubtedly, they can make a profit without losing.
Although the people at the gambling table had restrained their voices, the man and the group of people standing behind him had heard it. They all had iron expressions and practically stared at these people with murderous gazes.
“Boss, why don’t we leave? Your luck today is too bad!” A burly man over three meters tall couldn’t help but come forward and remind them. Once these words were said, the others hurried along to persuade him.
“Captain, this is Whitebeard’s territory. If you lose, you will lose. This money is all we have. If we lose all of it, we won’t be able to enjoy ourselves in the red-light district anymore!”
“Yes, Captain, why don’t we stop here today? If it doesn’t work, we will gamble again tomorrow!”
“…!”
Dozens of people spoke one after another, causing the face of the man sitting at the gambling table to become darker and darker, and then he slammed the gambling table.
“All of you shut up! If I don’t win today, I won’t be satisfied. If any of you dare to say another word, I will treat him as an enslaved person and sell him to the human traffickers!” The man shouted at his subordinates in exasperation.
For a moment, the dozens of people behind him hurriedly closed their mouths and did not dare to say another word. They knew that although their captain was usually easy to talk to, once he became grave, he was pretty fierce. Now, he was not joking.
Seeing that no one dared to disobey him, the man looked at the gambling table with a gloomy face and then stared at the dice cup about to open.
In the casino’s surveillance room, telephones are installed in every corner of the casino. It was almost possible to see the situation of any gambling table in the casino.
Similarly, the scene that had just happened was also loyally transmitted into the monitoring room by the projectors.
“Mr Jay, should I go down and tell the dealer to put some water in the water? I am worried that the other party will make a scene in the casino if he loses. After all, the other party is the captain of the Sickle Pirates, Claire!”
In the monitoring room, a man dressed as a manager looked at the screen displayed by the Den Den Den Mushi and looked at a green-haired man beside him with a worried expression.
“No need. This is my father’s territory. If Clare, Latin, dares to cause trouble here, I will directly care for him!” The green-haired man said indifferently.
The green-haired man known as Jefferson was in his early thirties. His lower body was wearing leather pants that looked like armour. His upper body was bare, revealing his solid muscles and scars caused by various injuries. It was like a medal, making people feel awe.
In addition, this person also had a golden pistol similar to a revolver on his waist. Rather than calling it his weapon, it was more like a gorgeous ornament.
Jeffery’s words seemed to leak some magic, causing the manager, slightly worried earlier, to ease up immediately. He even gained a lot of confidence and was instantly filled with confidence.
However, it was no wonder that this scripture had changed so much. After all, just like those guests who gambled before, they were not afraid of pirates messing around in the casino.
The flag of the Whitebeard pirates was fluttering on them —
Even if the man with red eyes on the table was a pirate with a more than 300 million bounty. Unless he dared to bear the chase of the Whitebeard pirates. He would not dare to mess around.
Of course, in addition to this, he was so relaxed because Jeffery, who was beside him, gave him enough confidence.
The second whitebeard pirate captain is called the ‘Crocodile Ghost’. This is the origin of Jeffery.
“Read the book, and I will go to the palace. If there is anything here, you can send someone to inform me!” After watching for a while, nothing happened. Jeffery said lazily and then left the monitoring room.
As the captain of the Whitebeard pirates, even the royal family of ‘Ethiom’ had to be treated well. After all, without Whitebeard’s intimidation, how could a mere royal army let the pirates and criminals who came here be so honest?
…….
When he returned to the casino, his luck was still as bad as ever. In just a short while, he lost several times in a row. The chips before him had already lost more than 100,000,000 from the original hundreds of millions of Bailey.
His face was as black as charcoal. This was what he was talking about now. His eyes were red. It was estimated that if he had not maintained a certain amount of rationality and knew that this was the territory of the Whitebeard pirates, he would have killed all the people in the gambling scene to vent his anger.
Pata —!
Suddenly, a gentle sound of footsteps approached, followed by a hand on his shoulder.
