Arceus' Pirate Journey
Page 231
There were already many people who had lost all their fortunes at the entrance of the casino. After Taizuolo put up his sign, it immediately attracted a lot of gamblers.
At first they just watched, but when they saw Bakara just shook hands with a man and then took out a stack of Baileys, they went crazy.
As for where these people who lost everything got their luck from, unless they had a devil fruit like Bakara, or they were the chosen one, they couldn’t possibly win in a casino.
Chapter 548: Thank you for Dover's upcoming "friendly" assistance
Nine times out of ten you lose in gambling, the remaining one is when someone lets you win on purpose so that you can have a taste of the sweetness.
But there are always people who don't believe it and think they can get out in time. In the end, they get deeper and deeper into the trap and lose everything they have.
The people who were thrown out at the door were the ones who had already gone crazy with gambling. When they saw Tai Zuoluo, the "boy who brings money", a group of people immediately surrounded him. In this situation, they dared not only to sell their luck, but also their lives.
After getting the money, many people rushed back to the casino excitedly, thinking that they could make a profit. Occasionally, there would be a sober person who would take the money and run away somewhere unknown, but that had nothing to do with Taizuolo.
To some extent, the devil fruit is fair. The money they get now is ostensibly provided by Taizulo, but it is actually theirs.
There are many kinds of luck, and wealth is one of them. Even if they get one million Baileys, they will also encounter the bad luck of losing one million Baileys later.
However, this is a trade fair of the underworld, and not everyone is willing to abide by the rules. Taizuolo's behavior has attracted some lawless elements.
Soon a pirate set his sights on this place, and with a machete he chopped the table in front of them into two halves, and then stared at Taizulo viciously.
"Boy, you are the one who bought Lucky?"
The people around immediately ran aside. There are still some differences between gamblers and desperadoes.
At least these gamblers are not wanted by the world government.
"Of course, sir, are you going to sell your luck too?"
“Sell it, but I think your price is not reasonable.”
As he said this, he glanced at the boxes at Taizulo's feet. From the looks of it, those suitcases were filled with Baileys.
"Then I'll take all of these!"
After picking up the two suitcases, he put the knife directly to Tezulo's neck.
The consequence of doing this was that he was surrounded by Taizulo's men, with the black muzzles of guns pointed at his head.
"Sir, that's 200 million Baileys. Are you sure?"
"Nonsense, if you don't want to die, tell them to put down their guns. I am..."
"No, no, no, I'm not interested in who you are. What I mean is that you can take the money if you want, but you still have to go through the process. But I have to confirm, have you really thought it through?"
There was a strange smile on Taizuolo's lips, like a devil who wanted to make a deal with someone.
It was the first time that the pirate had seen a strange man like Taizulo, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in his heart, but under the temptation of money, he still made the decision to rob.
"In this case, two hundred million is not enough, Bakara, give this gentleman another one hundred million."
Seeing that he had no intention of stopping, Tezulo signaled Bakara to bring him another box of Baileys. Looking at the box handed over by the young girl, he couldn't resist the temptation, but he didn't let go of the weapon on Tezulo's neck.
Instead, he reached out the arm that was holding the cash box. His hand was big enough to hold three boxes, and he did not sense any threat from Bakara.
But in the process, his hand came into contact with Bakara, and Bakara's other finger was shaking.
Not far away, a vine suddenly rose from the ground, and a carriage passed by.
The horse's leg was tripped by the vine, and the cargo on the cart scattered all over the place, hitting a strong man nearby.
The wine glass in his hand slipped as a result, and as he hurriedly tidied his clothes, the pistol at his waist accidentally went off, hitting another person.
"Asshole, who is it!"
The man who was hit uttered an angry curse, but the sound was extremely shrill. The pirate looked over and saw the owner of the voice, and he couldn't help laughing out loud. He didn't expect that such a strong man could make such a sound.
Everyone else ignored the source of the laughter out of fear or panic, so he was the only one laughing, and also attracted the man's anger.
He did not pursue the person who fired the shooter. Instead, he followed the sound of laughter and came here. The ground suddenly squirmed, and a huge rock hand reached out and grabbed the man, killing him without even saying a word.
That was none other than Pica from the Don Quixote family, because the organizer of this auction was also the Don Quixote family. Relying on his own abilities, Doflamingo has been doing a booming business in the Grand Line during this period of time.
He is the user of the Stone-Stone Fruit, which allows him to assimilate with the rocks he comes into contact with, and as long as the material can be classified as "rock", the user can control it, and can even change the terrain and the appearance of buildings.
His own voice was his biggest pet peeve, and anyone who mocked him in that regard would incur his wrath.
After doing all that, Pica left the place as if no one was around, and he forgot about the pistol that accidentally went off.
Taizuolo silently picked up the scattered Baileys on the ground and said to the people next to him, "Anyone else wants to try? If you want, even 10 billion Baileys is fine, as long as you can afford the price."
Those who had sold their luck before have already re-entered the casino, and the remaining people gave up the idea of selling their luck after seeing the pirate who was inexplicably crushed to death.
But it was just an ordinary transaction and there was no danger. When it came to 100 million Baileys, Bakara only took away a little bit of luck, and the unlucky day would be over.
But to deal with this unruly person, she simply drained all of his luck, then launched the finger-waving skill, and under the influence of metaphysics, she finally killed him with the help of Seka's hand.
His luck in the acquisition was almost enough, so Taizuolo packed up his stall and left. He would use his luck to earn back some of the money he spent in the casino, which was his second step.
......
When the auction started, Taizuolo had completed his preparations, and then it was time for the ultimate goal of the day - the Golden-Gold Fruit.
In the original timeline, Tai Zuo Luo led a group of thugs into the auction house to steal the Golden-Gold Fruit, but this time he followed the normal auction process.
Gold is still the hard currency on the sea. Although Tezulo has obtained the ability bestowed by Arceus last year, it does not prevent him from taking this fruit. He has seen the description of this fruit in Quinn's picture book, and he likes the ability of this fruit very much.
Even though things have changed, he still likes money very much. In his opinion, the ability of this fruit is tailor-made for him. With this fruit, his future plans will go smoothly, so he came here.
Doflamingo, who also possessed the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, naturally knew how powerful this fruit was. He had no intention of selling it, but just wanted to use it as a gimmick to attract more customers.
Chapter 549: Golden Fruit
In the venue behind the auction, there was a strange smiling face with a slash across it. It was the symbol of the Don Quixote family and also the pirate flag of the Don Quixote Pirates.
Compared to other people's pirate flags, this logo looks a lot simpler.
Doflamingo had not been in the Grand Line for long, but his previous layout in the North Sea had finally played some role. As the local boss of the North Sea underground world, Doflamingo quickly gained a place in the underground world of the Grand Line.
Whether in terms of his own strength or relationships, Doflamingo showed a completely different side from the newcomers.
After Rosinante was killed by him, the undercover agent of the Don Quixote family disappeared, and the crane that had been following him like a soul-seeking ghost also disappeared. This allowed Doflamingo to gain a firm foothold and he didn't have to move people every day.
At the same time, he also began to expand his power, no longer with only a few family members like Beihai.
However, his success in gaining a foothold in the underground market of the Grand Line had a lot to do with Hundred Beasts. The efforts he made with the two devil fruits had allowed him to achieve some results.
The underground world of Beasts in the Grand Line is a source. In addition to the things they sell themselves, many black market merchants purchase goods from here. Doflamingo obtained a certain amount of goods through this relationship.
And when those people saw that someone who had just entered the Grand Line could actually come up with such a thing, they mistakenly thought that he had a certain relationship with the Hundred Beasts, so they allowed him to gain a foothold faster.
Combined with the secrets he knew, the word "joker" had reached the ears of many people in just a few months.
But his foundation is still a little lacking, unlike the auction in the Sabaody Archipelago which has already made a name for itself and has fixed "big shots" like the "Celestial Dragons".
Ordinary merchandise was fine, but not enough to attract some people here, so he came up with the gimmick of the Gold-Gold Fruit.
This fruit is undoubtedly very powerful, and Doflamingo certainly won't let it go just like that.
At this time, on the Don Quixote family's ship, Doflamingo was chatting with Trebol.
"Torebol, who should I give this fruit to next?"
Doflamingo in the original timeline did not come to the auction in person because he wanted to develop his own industry, but this time it was different. With the help of the devil fruit, he got in touch with the Beasts, making the development of his business smoother.
So he had the time to come here in person with the family cadres, and this kind of fruit must be given to his own trustworthy people.
The people he trusted most were undoubtedly the four people who had served him as their leader from the beginning, so he divided the camps of his subordinates according to the suits of the playing cards. Torrepol was the leader of the club army, Pica led the spade army, and Diamanti was in charge of the diamond army.
As for the Heart Army, the original Vergo is now undercover in the Navy, and has successfully entered the G5 branch to begin making arrangements for Doflamingo. The second generation Heart "Corazon" was killed for betraying him.
However, he had always reserved the position of the third generation red heart to Luo. He didn't know that Luo had already known the truth of many things. He had been looking for the other party and claimed that he was his own brother. His purpose was to make Luo voluntarily perform the immortality surgery for him.
Now, except for Vergo who is an undercover navy agent, the other leaders have their own fruit abilities, including children like Baby-5 who also have their own fruits. Although there are still candidates, they still have to think about it.
"Lao-G's style is not suitable for it, and he himself is probably not very interested. Senior or Deringer? Monet and Sugar's sisters seem to be OK, but they have joined for a shorter time.
Na Na Dov, this matter is still up to you to decide."
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, let's talk about it later. Let's go, so as to avoid any accidents."
"No Dover, Diamante and Pica are over there."
But he still followed Doflamingo over there, but invisibly, big flags were stuck on their backs.
......
Time passed slowly, and the auction of the Don Quixote family finally opened. As the auction began, the noisy pirates below temporarily quieted down.
Some people stopped talking, and most of them stared at the center of the auction.
Some people here have special ideas, but even if they want to use abnormal means, they have to wait for the auction to start, so they are all waiting now.
In the center of the auction table, a young girl with light green hair slowly walked out. Her name was Monet, a newcomer who joined the Don Quixote family last year. Because of her appearance, Doflamingo gave this matter to her.
Then Monet walked to the auction table and said with a smile: "I guess all the guests can't wait any longer. The auction will officially begin now.
Because there are so many items in this auction, please bid as soon as possible. The starting price of each item is 1000 million Baileys, and each bid increase must not be less than million Baileys. The auction begins now!"
Items were brought to the stage one by one, but Taizuolo had no interest in them. His only target was the golden-gold fruit.
"Bakara, it's time to start."
Seeing that the finale Golden-Gold Fruit was taken out, Taizulo handed the auction over to Bakara. The luck he had gained before was put to good use here.
In order to highlight the high-end nature of the auction and to facilitate operations, the bidding method for this auction is electronic bidding. There is no need to shout, just press the button next to the chair.
In this way, through a few arranged agents, the golden fruit will eventually fall into the hands of their own people.
But as Bakara activated her ability and pressed the button, something strange happened. It was as if the system suddenly went haywire, causing all the buttons in the hands of the people arranged by Doflamingo to become ineffective.
The order Monet received was to ensure that the auction went on normally no matter what. The Joker's reputation could not be broken at such a time, so the fruit went into Taizuolo's hands very smoothly.
But Monet had already informed Diamante and the others privately, and used secret codes to explain his meaning. The Don Quixote family was very familiar with secret codes. Before, Rosinante could express his meaning by knocking on stones, and Monet used the same method.
Apart from that, she did nothing else and even watched Taizuolo leave with a smile.
But as soon as Taizuolu and his companions left here, a group of people rushed towards Taizuolu, trying to snatch the golden fruit from his hand. At this time, a green shell and sharp spikes appeared on Taizuolu's arm...
Chapter 550: The Flying Insect Beast from Next Door
A white light flashed on the spikes, and several white lights shot out from Taizuolo's arm. The sharp spikes directly pierced through the chests of several people.
“Don’t do it without saying anything, you guys. It will be hard to explain to Stella when I go back if my clothes are damaged.”
At this time, Taizulo's face had changed. A pair of huge blue compound eyes replaced the original eyes. Green armor wrapped around the whole body. Two giant needles extended from the forearms, and the hands had turned into the appearance of an insect man.
To sum up, the mythical beast type of the Bug-Bug Fruit is the Shiny Beedrill form.
Although it was an ability granted directly, he became a special individual. After combining with the power of Beedrill, he underwent certain changes and became the first Pokémon with the ability of a different color.
Abandoning the original yellow and black bee color, and replacing it with a new green body, his current state is his human-beast form, and his general appearance is similar to Flymon from the Digital World next door.
Odd-colored Pokémon are usually no different than normal Pokémon, most of the time they are just a different color.
Very few Pokémon may have some special abilities at the same time as their color changes. For example, the red Gyarados has a higher IQ, while the yellow bear next to Perona has no special abilities.
Taizoro's Harlequin Beedrill is a random mutation obtained after the ability was granted, and the effect it brings is a more potent bee venom.
According to Quinn's research, there is an unknown component in the bee venom produced by Tezulo's ability. This component can damage the coagulation factors in the human body. If a person is pierced by his bee sting, he will inevitably bleed to death without a special antidote.
The white light just now was the missile needle he released, which is one of his long-range attack methods.
Although he was only the CEO of Hundred Beasts Fruit, he never gave up on physical exercise. After what happened in the Sabaody Archipelago, he understood more and more the importance of strength.
He is quite talented. According to his life trajectory in the original timeline, he was an ordinary slum child in his childhood.
He was a street thug for four years between the ages of 12 and 16, and worked hard to earn money for three years between the ages of 16 and 19. His physical fitness can only be described as average.
From then on until he was 26 years old, he lived as a slave in Marijoa. Three years after he escaped due to the Tiger incident, Taizulo took the opportunity to steal the Gold-Gold Fruit and started to develop with his own people.
He became famous at the age of 32, and at the age of 41, his fruit had awakened and he became the Golden Emperor who controlled a large amount of the economy.
His main training period was between the ages of 29 and 41, and this period had made him miss the golden period of development, but he still trained the fruit to the state of awakening.
Whether it is domineering or fruit, as long as one can train an ability to the extreme, it can prove that he is strong. The practice of the Gold-Gold Fruit is a recognition of his talent.
Although Tezulo's first half of life did not change, his life trajectory became completely different after he was 19 years old. His heart was dead the moment Stella died. Although he was still alive, he was a walking corpse without a heart.
In this world, the power of the mind is particularly important. Negative people will only become more decadent, such as Moria who became a fat otaku.
