I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"We must bring this heinous criminal, Sieg, to justice here."

Cobra still looked restless and worried.

Bell nodded, stepped onto the windowsill, and leaped off the building.

While still in the air, his body rapidly transformed. With a flap of his arms, they became wings. He flapped his wings twice and soared into the sky, quickly shrinking into a tiny black dot in Cobra's vision.

Bell is known as the strongest warrior in Alabasta. He is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user with the Bird-Bird Fruit in Falcon Mode, possessing the rare ability to fly long distances across the sea.

After flying out of the high-rise window, Bell quickly flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

He changed direction, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding nearshore area.

After transforming into his falcon form, Bell also possesses bird-like eyesight, allowing him to see objects of all sizes even at great distances, high in the sky.

However, upon looking around, he did not find any trace of naval warships.

"Didn't the navy say they'd be here soon? Are they just stalling us?"

Bell frowned, but then his expression changed as he looked towards the horizon where the sea met the sky.

He still didn't see the naval warships breaking through the waves, but he saw something even more awe-inspiring.

It was a figure, a man rushing across the sea.

It was nearly dusk by then.

The setting sun resembled a giant clot of blood, congealing at the boundary where the sea and sky met.

Half of the seawater was shimmering, while the other half was dyed red by the setting sun.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a man is running alone on the sea.

This is a lonely man whose youth has faded, chasing after his lost youth.

Even though he was no longer young, Bale was quite moved.

He also thought of his lost youth... no!

Bell's eyes widened in surprise.

The man running wildly was carrying a... bicycle on his shoulder?

Moreover, the sea beneath his feet was frozen solid, with no waves at all.

Seemingly sensing Bell's gaze from high above, the man running on the sea looked up and gazed at the distant view.

This was a tall man wearing a white suit, with black curly hair and a green eye patch on his forehead.

He was running at high speed, but his expression was not passionate at all, with no change in expression, and he even lazily yawned.

"Just a bird? I thought we'd been spotted."

Vice Admiral Kuzan lowered his gaze, glanced at the distant, faintly visible island, slowed his pace, and put down the bicycle he was carrying on his shoulder.

"There's no movement from the direction of the rain, looks like the fighting hasn't started yet. I've arrived too early..."

He leisurely rode his bicycle and continued on his way at a leisurely pace.

However, this time, the speed was much slower than when he was running.

Kuzan had just an ordinary bicycle on his shoulder, without any modifications.

Riding too fast will cause the chain to fall off.

That's right, that makes perfect sense, and the reasoning is entirely sound.

............

at the same time.

The third floor of the casino's Rain Banquet area.

After thinking for a moment, Sieg immediately gave an order to the bald man:

"Let's go exchange for chips, I'll go play too."

“Mr. Sig…our president has been waiting all this time…” The man in the suit who had been waiting nearby wiped his sweat, looking even more anxious.

"Why the rush?" Sig sneered.

"Does your casino mean you can't afford to lose?"

"I will go see your president after I finish gambling."

Sieg completely ignored the man in the suit next to him. After giving instructions to the bald man, he moved closer to the gambling table.

It's not Fujitora's turn yet; the gambling table they're at right now is a simple bet on odds or evens.

Three dice, betting on whether the sum of the numbers will be odd or even.

Sieg didn't speak immediately, but observed from the side for a while first.

Yixiao's gambling luck seemed to be bad, as he lost several times in a row. Each time he lost, there was a burst of laughter from those around him.

After several repetitions, Yi Xiao's chips were gradually running out.

"Hey, want me to give you some chips?"

"I don't like gambling, but watching you gamble is quite interesting. If you win, it's yours; if you lose, it's on me."

Sig leaned closer and spoke up.

Yi Xiao turned her head slightly, closed her eyes, and "looked" at Sig.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Sieg suddenly felt a little uneasy.

He's now a wanted criminal with a bounty of 400 million, and his crimes are numerous. Could it be that this guy recognized him in some way?

After a long pause, he saw Yixiao shake his head:

"Is it a loan shark from the casino? I can't afford to pay it back."

After saying that, he pushed all the remaining chips in his hand onto the gambling table.

"Place a bet."

He smiled and said.

Sieg frowned slightly. If Fujitora ran out of chips, would he just leave the casino like this?

There's no time to hesitate any longer.

Thinking of this, he pushed the million Berry chips that the bald man had just acquired onto the gambling table.

However, his bet was different from Fujitora's; he bet on even numbers.

Sig believed in his luck and decided to give Fujitora a good sip.

Chapter 210 The Fifth Possession Card

The top floor of the Rain Banquet Casino.

Crocodile sat on the sofa with a cold expression, puffing on a cigarette.

The ashtray on the table already contained several empty cigars.

"Aren't you coming yet, Sig?"

Crocodile's face showed a hint of impatience.

Crocodile has always been patient, cunning, and manipulative.

But this time, Crocodile really didn't have much time left, and he was feeling a little anxious.

"Sig wants to gamble? Then let him win a few times quickly. Give him face, and then invite him up directly."

"He can't possibly keep winning at my casino, can he?"

.............

The third floor of the casino.

Beside the gambling table, Sieg stared dumbfounded at the dice cup that the dealer had just uncovered.

There, the numbers on the three dice were exactly 5, 5, and 6. Even numbers.

"I won?"

Sig was utterly shocked.

Before Sieg could recover from the thrill of winning the gamble, he suddenly sensed a change in the expression of Fujitora, who was dressed in purple, beside him.

He closed his eyes and looked at the dice cup in the dealer's hand.

"The success or failure of gambling is in the hands of fate. If the outcome is predetermined, then it is meaningless."

Fujitora said something casually, but it was meaningful.

"Hey, you blind man! What nonsense are you spouting?"

Several tall men walked over and reprimanded him mercilessly:

"You're unwilling to accept defeat after taking the gamble, and instead you doubt our casino?"

Fujitora maintained his indifferent expression, turning his head to the side and closing his eyes to look at Sieg.

"Does your casino want to win all my money just to lend money at exorbitant interest rates?"

"You did win, but I'm not stupid enough to ask you for money."

Fujitora seemed to have concluded that Sig was in cahoots with the casino. After saying this, he picked up his wooden cane and walked away in his wooden clogs.

The thigh actually wants to leave?

Sig's expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to call out to Fujitora, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Mission: The Mountain Bandit King's grand plan has been completed."

Mission objective: Defeat any Navy Admiral. (100%)

"Task Reward: One chance to draw a random Possession Card."

"Mission Phase Update: The Mountain Bandit King's Big Plan (2)".
