"This is really an unsightly place."
Walking out of the lonely street, Robin held the brim of her hat and pulled it down a little.
Ross also reached out and pressed his leather cap lightly, covering most of his face, and said, "This remote place should be nothing to care about. Let's go to Central Citytown."
Robin silently followed Ross.
After walking through a street the road gradually became wider and the environment also showed a clear change. From dark and dirty scenes, occasionally dried up bloodstains, it has gradually become a normal bluestone path.
When they came to this area, although there were a lot of eyes on Ross and Robin, most of them were swept away and only a few eyes followed them but they were limited to snooping.
Gradually.
Ross and Robin arrived in the Central City District of the Impossible island, where the environment became quite different from the border, with luxurious taverns or casinos on both sides, It was a lively scene.
The streets are flooding with people dressed like nobles and gentlemen, walking with young girls in their arms, followed by many guards.
"Let's go there."
Because there is no exact intelligence and goal, He just wanted to see if he can find a valuable prey, Ross glanced down the street and walked towards a nearby casino.
Into the casino, Ross casually exchanged 10, 000 Berries worth of chips and lost while Robin looked around with her head down and finally shook her head at Ross.
"Let's go."
Ross casually dropped the last bit of chips on the table, lost it and left the casino with Robin and went to another casino in the rear, which looked bigger.
This time, Ross didn't even plan to exchange his money for chips. He was planning to walk in and turn around if he didn't find any prey. Unexpectedly, in this casino, Ross found a very unexpected person.
"Is it white? I won again. I'm so embarrassed."
An uncle with his eyes closed, wearing a lavender loose kimono and a beard is sitting on the side of a gaming table, one hand touching the back of his head, revealing a thick smile.
"It's him?"
Ross's eyes flashed as he watched the purple-clothed blind man sitting there.
According to the normal historical development, two years after Luffy went out to sea, this blind man in purple clothing will participate in the world conscription and will be promoted to a Marine Headquarters Admiral with his monstrous-level strength!
Ross has already recognized him.
Issho or he will be commonly known as Fujitora in future!
Ross had thought about the Battle crew on his ship. Laffitte was good, but he could not afford a strong position. Fujitora was one of the figures Ross had considered, but now the problem is that it was too early to meet each other.
Although the other side's performance is to uphold justice and be kind to others, his style of action, whether it is the meteorite landing to deter Doflamingo or the fight with Fleet Admiral Akainu for justice without fear, reveals the arrogance of the strong everywhere.
In fact.
Any strong man has his own pride. It is almost impossible for him to attract Fujitora onto the ship without being stronger than Fujitora.
"Change 100, 000 Berries into chips."
Ross indulged for a moment before exchanging his money for chips at the casino's front desk, He walked toward Fujitora's gaming table and sat in on an empty chair.
At this point, Fujitora had just taken over the chip that he had won and the dealer had handed over.
"..."
Robin was next to Ross and she also noticed Fujitora.
Even in a non-Battle state, Observation Haki can slightly feel a person's strength and Fujitora gives her the feeling that it is extremely heavy and oppressive!
It is like she is looking at a towering steel fortress, there is a sense of insignificance that cannot be shaken by any means.
This man...
Robin's eyes showed her cautiousness but she did not speak. She knew that if she could perceive the difference between Fujitora and her then Ross must have noticed it long ago. She didn't need to remind him.
When Ross arrived at the table and sat down, he exhaled and stared at the spinning wheel. He released his Observation Haki and began to capture the trajectory of the ball on the wheel.
"...Please Make your bet."
After the dealer turned the wheel, he waved to the public to place their bets.
Ross stares at the ball, his Observation Haki stretched to its limit, a moment later, he gently pushes a few chips.
"Black."
Fujitora, sitting on the other side of the table, caught Ross's movements, paused for a moment, pushed the chips out with a simple smile, and said, "I'll bet black, too."
As the rotation speed of the wheel gradually slowed down, the ball finally stopped and fell into a black grid.
The dealer expressionlessly took back the chips betting on white and delivered the chips won by Fujitora, Ross, and others, then turned the wheel again.
This time.
Almost as soon as the roulette had just turned and the ball had just hit two laps, Fujitora gently pushed his chips out.
"White."
"Great..."
Ross sighed softly, sure enough, Fujitora's Observation Haki was much better than his. He had not caught anything yet and Fujitora had already determined the final placement.
He paused for a second and he pushed his stack of chips to the white betting point.
The final drop of the ball is really white.
Fujitora took the chips handed over by the dealer's hand and showed an embarrassed smile while touching the back of his head and saying, "Oh, It looked like my luck is good today."
Half an hour later.
Ross had 500, 000 Berries in front of him and Fujitora had more than 900, 000 Berries in front of him, they were surrounded by many people who bet with them.
The dealer's forehead has overflowed with a bit of cold sweat. Although Ross and Fujitora have not made many bets and they bet with a small amount but their successive wins have attracted countless people to follow their bets, leading to his loss here which is beginning to grow larger and larger.
"I'm very sorry, but we need to repair the wheel of this table."
The main people of the casino finally couldn't sit still and seven or eight people came over and prevented everyone from betting.
Just then, Robin, standing behind Ross, leaned over Ross and whispered something in his ear.
"The one who just came down from the second floor is Mogel, The Ripper' with 71 million Berries bounty on his head."
"I see."
Ross nodded as he looked at Fujitora on the other side and laughed, "Something needs to be done first, but before you go, you want to bet again. If you win, these chips will be yours. How about that?"
"Oh, all chips? I wonder how you want to bet?
Fujitora was gathering the chips in front of him. When he heard Ross's words, he paused a little and asked with both hands on the chips.
Ross tapped his finger lightly on the roulette table that was being taken away by a group of casino staff, then the table suddenly jumped up and fell between Ross and Fujitora.
"This......"
"What happened?"
Everyone was shocked as looked at the scene. For a while, they were somewhat at a loss.
Ross gently pinched the ball, threw it into the wheel, snapped his back finger and the power of distortion was slightly activated and the whole wheel moved rapidly.
"This way..."
Fujitora nodded and thought for a second. He pushed the chip in front of him and said, "If you try your best, I will bet on white."
Kāchā! Kāchā!
Under the action of the power of distortion, the whole roulette showed signs of fragmentation as it slowly stopped and after a few bounces, the ball finally fell onto the white grid.
"I lost."
Ross stood up and was not depressed. He pushed the chips to Fujitora, turned and walked out of the casino, smiling."If we have a chance in the future, we'll have another bet."
"Well, then I will accompany you when we meet again."
Fujitora nodded and smiled and stood up while collecting chips from the table.
