Pirate: I am King Luffy

"Then let's decide!"

Putting this matter aside for the moment, Uta took out the playing cards and said, "Let's play a game!"

"Okay!" Nami said excitedly.

Uta immediately thought of the previous undecided game, and the atmosphere began to change.

"Let's play the joker card this time!" said Uta.

The rules of drawing joker cards are very simple. Each person has several cards in his hand. The person who plays all his cards first wins, and the person who has joker cards left at the end loses.

This is a small game suitable for a multiplayer environment. It is obviously not suitable for two people to play, so they began to gather partners.

Tashigi and Kuina were not very familiar with such things, so they chose to watch the battle.

"Nojigo!" Nami looked at her sister eagerly.

"Hi~" Nojiko felt that she owed Nami something because she had played with the person Nami liked, so she nodded and agreed.

Uta found Weiwei, and Weiwei was very interested in this kind of civilian game.

“Come and play!”

Her unladylike character made her a little restless.

"Nami, what's the punishment?" They began to discuss what the loser should do.

"I want to play too." Luffy looked at them eagerly.

"A deck of cards is just right for four people. If five people play the joker card, it ends too quickly," said Uta.

I could add another deck of cards, but if I had two decks, the number of cards would feel too much. It would be just right when Tashigi and Kuina wanted to play.

"Isolated!" Luffy pouted.

"Well... let's let you come and play too..." Uta couldn't stand Luffy's behavior and changed his words.

They quickly chose the punishment, and the loser would have a white note stuck on his forehead by the four winners.

"Uta! If Luffy comes to play, he will win soon!" Vivi thought about Luffy's power to read minds.

"Just control your expression. This is an expression management game." Uta said in confusion.

It's a guessing game where you use facial expressions to mislead others. If Luffy could really read their minds, he would be able to see through their hearts directly, and this game would not be difficult.

But Luffy really can’t read minds now, that is an effect that can only be achieved after going berserk.

There is a vague division of camps in the game.

Because Nojiko feels guilty towards Nami, she always takes away the joker cards that Nami draws and throws them to others. Uta is also a master of this game, but she always wants to make Nami lose and competes with her.

Vivi and Luffy are a real rookie duo, they don't know anything and rely purely on luck to draw cards, so their skill score is 0.

After a few rounds of games, the two of them were simply used as stools by the other three girls, and Vivi and Luffy had many white stripes on their faces.

"I'm tired of playing~" Uta held his stomach and couldn't help laughing when he saw Luffy like that.

Vivi also confirmed one thing, that Luffy now really can't read minds. Although he was stuck with a lot of notes, he had a lot of fun.

When you are tired of playing, just find a bed in the car and sleep directly. Although it is a car, it is as huge as a boat and has everything inside.

……

Robin pushed open the door of the casino, and waves of noisy sounds exploded in his ears. Pirates, citizens, and bounty hunters gathered here to squander the money they earned.

This is a casino recognized by the government, a legal industry, and it is Crocodile's industry. He is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Therefore, this casino is a perfect place that will not be disturbed by the navy.

While looking at the dark side of human nature, the woman took the elevator directly to the top floor.

"Boss, most of Arubana's agents have been eliminated, and the most important person, the user of the Mimic Fruit, has also been arrested."

Arriving at the top floor, Robin said slowly.

"Didn't you rescue him?" Crocodile already knew about this, but he still felt angry when he heard Robin talk about it.

The plan he had just started was disrupted by the naval hero, and it was unclear how he knew the information.

The Baroque Works Society he founded is itself a secret society, and members are not allowed to inquire about each other's identity information. The only two people who know the entire society are him and Robin. Even if a small number of members are arrested, they will not be interrogated to reveal too much information about the company.

Robin himself is a wanted criminal and has lived in the dark world all his life, so it is impossible for him to tip off the navy.

That woman had no expectations for this world. Even if the whole world was on fire, she would just watch coldly.

"Both of my hands were severed. Alabasta doesn't have the medical technology to heal such injuries, so I was too lazy to do anything."

Robin said calmly.

"A very useful ability user has been disabled. Just as the rumors say, he is a cold-blooded executioner of pirates. Simply defeating him is not enough. Do we have to chop off his hand?"

Crocodile was a little annoyed, and a small whirlwind of sand was whirring in his palm.

"Monkey D. Luffy and the others are coming my way. That kid wants to see me. What do you think?"

"I want to chase you away. That kid has always been merciless towards pirates."

“Don’t say that… I’m not just an ordinary pirate, I’m one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, guhahaha…”

Although all the agents inside Arubana were arrested, Crocodile didn't care because those members didn't know who the boss was and he never revealed his identity and purpose.

Therefore, Luffy must have come here for other things. In any case, it is impossible that he is going to be driven away because that would be too outrageous.

The World Government would not kick him out just for a small lieutenant.

"Robin, make a new plan and execute it once that little marine hero gets the hell out of Alabasta."

Crocodile exhaled slightly, with a violent killing intent surging in his heart. "I'm going to kill some pirates to relax. Listening to those fools calling me a hero is a good pastime..."

He turned into sand and gradually disappeared in the casino.

The many pressures of founding an organization gradually made Crocodile upset.

First of all, there is the source of money and the channels for purchasing weapons. Many things cannot be solved by violence. The underground world has its own rules...

Crocodile has two sources of money, one is the casino, the other is the bounty earned by bounty hunters, but this money is not enough...

Originally, there was a person with the ability of the Mimic Fruit, who was secretly stirring up trouble. It was estimated that in just two years, he would be able to take over the entire Alabasta...

However, that person with special abilities was immediately destroyed.

Thinking of this, Crocodile became angry and waved his hand violently. A stream of sand shot towards the sand. Looking down from afar, a huge rift stretching for several kilometers was cut out in the sand.

After venting his anger, Crocodile felt much better. He continued to travel in the sky with the wind and soon arrived at the port area.

Some pirates were looting wantonly along the coast. A sandstorm came and the pirates and civilians could not open their eyes and squatted down with their heads in their hands.

When the wind died down and the sand settled, people looked over and saw that the pirates holding the knives had all turned into mummies. The sight of human skin wrapped around bones was extremely horrifying.

"Water... water..." The sand had completely absorbed all the moisture from the pirates' bodies. Without water, they had difficulty moving and fell to the side of the road after taking two steps.

"Hahahaha, pirates, who allowed you to cause trouble on my territory!"

Crocodile felt happy after venting his violence. He sat on the roof of the tallest building, strangling a pirate by the neck.

"Crocodile...you have abandoned your position as a pirate and become a running dog of the government..."

The pirate flapped his feet in the air and grabbed Crocodile's wrist, but he was powerless against his terrifying strength.

"Shut up!"

The Seven Warlords of the Sea sneered, "You are a low-level pirate, you are not worthy of telling me what to do..."

With a little force on his hands, the pirate's neck was broken with bare hands.

As soon as he let go again, the pirate fell to the ground with a thud.

"It's Crocodile!"

The citizens also showed fear towards Crocodile, but it soon turned into admiration for his powerful strength.

"hero!"

"Shut up, you fools!"

"Although he scolded us harshly, he still cared about us. So cool!"

The citizens became increasingly frantic.

They arrived at the rainy land a little later than expected. Although with Luffy there, they were not afraid of sudden attacks from sand beasts, but the sandstorm, a natural disaster, still hindered their journey.

"Dream City Rainland!"

The sand cart stopped in the city and Vivi looked at Luffy.

Uta was tidying up his clothes. Because of sleeping, the clothes were a little wrinkled. The girl couldn't stand it and helped to tidy them up. Luffy didn't care, "It's okay with just a few wrinkles."

"Let's go, Vivi!"

Luffy greeted Vivi and headed towards the most luxurious and large casino in the city.

This is a city that has not been hit by sandstorms. The hero Crocodile is in charge here, and the residents are extremely happy, but...

As they headed towards Yuyan, they could clearly feel that there were fewer and fewer ordinary residents around, and more and more fierce warriors with certain strength and knives and guns.

"There are so many casinos here..." Tashigi exclaimed. She also put on a navy uniform to show her identity.

"It's a city of gambling after all," said Weiwei.

When the people in the casino saw Luffy and Tashigi in their navy attire, they all looked at them with slightly hostile eyes.

"I'm sorry, Admiral, this is a casino approved by the government, you can't go in."

Seeing Luffy stepping into the area of ​​the Rain Banquet, a manager in a suit hurriedly ran over to block Luffy.

"We have an appointment." Luffy said calmly.

"I'm very sorry, but I didn't receive any notification that there would be any guests coming..."

The man hurriedly took out his notebook to look at the itinerary, then shook his head and said.

"I'm telling you, just get out of the way. You're a little late, don't worry about it."

Luffy placed his hands on the other man's shoulders and gave him a gentle push, causing him to stumble back.

"The navy is really bad-tempered. The boss doesn't welcome guys who are late." A tall and thin man looked at Luffy with his arms folded across his chest.

It was obvious that he had entered the venue knowing that he would do such a rude act.

"You know the navy has a bad temper, so why don't you pour me tea?" Luffy laughed.

"Don't ask me to fight you straight in. I hate violence. That's not civilized, is it?"

"Hmph...have a little more shame."

"I'm telling you, if you say anything more, I'll kill you. What's the charge? Attacking the navy?"

Luffy scratched his head.

The man's eyes grew colder, and he didn't say much. He just led the way.

After walking through the noisy casino, Luffy was still very interested in stopping to look at the structure of the casino and was curious about what was inside.

There are all kinds of slot machines and card games.

After passing the gambling hall, we arrived at the quiet reception room. "The boss is upstairs."

The man opened an elevator door and said, apparently his authority only allowed him to lead the way here and he could not take the elevator upstairs.

Vivi, Uta and the others were following Luffy and were about to follow him, but the man spoke up again to remind them: "Only one person can enter."

Uta was a little dissatisfied, but Luffy didn't care, "Just wait here for me."

"And this... well, if the worst happens, Uta will just call my grandfather."

Luffy took out the Den Den Mushi from his body and threw it to Uta.

"Luffy, isn't it too dangerous to go see Crocodile alone?" Vivi pulled Luffy aside and asked.

At least... become stronger before going over there, Vivi thought about Luffy's form as a monster, but it was obviously too late to perform that shameful ritual.
