Pirate: I'm King Luffy!

Chapter 717: Gambler’s End
Luffy's observation Haki is essentially slightly biased towards the perception of emotions, and he is more sensitive to the good and evil emotional tendencies of others.

Therefore, he can subtly feel the emotional changes throughout his life.

"Is this the person on the wanted list?" Tashigi got off the lion dog, hugged Shigure, and asked the nearby navy.

She had just arrived and had not yet memorized all the names on the West Sea wanted poster.

I only know a few of the newly emerged big pirates.

The man in front of him is a powerful swordsman. A man like him should be on the wanted list.

"I'm very sorry, there is no man of this size and appearance on the list..." The Marines from the West Sea took the wanted list, searched it carefully, and then shook their heads.

His appearance was very recognizable throughout his life and you would never forget it once you had seen it. There was an "X"-shaped scar on his square face, which extended to both eyes. Combined with the whites of his eyes that occasionally appeared when he opened his eyes, he looked very scary, but his temperament made people feel kind.

Hearing that there was no relevant person on the list, Dashigi felt that the other party was either the type who did evil without being discovered, or a gray practitioner who could not clearly determine good and evil.

"Please move aside and do not interfere with the navy's business. This is the last notice!" Dashiqi said seriously.

"We are trying to capture the pirate behind you. If you interfere with our duties, I will treat you as an equal!"

Luffy patted Tashigi's shoulder, then looked forward at the debtor admiral.

"You are quite capable. How much money do you owe? I will buy your bonds and you will work for me."

As soon as these words came out, the casino manager was already sweating profusely.

Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that this blind swordsman can fight against a large group of navy. Whether these people can escape depends on the blind swordsman's single thought.

If this young marine succeeds, it will be their turn to deal with the navy.

"I have been working part-time for three months, and my daily salary is 3,000 berries. I have paid off 2.7 million berries, but I still owe 16 million berries..." Yisheng did some calculations and said to Luffy, "If I continue to work part-time, I will probably have to work for another year..."

"Sixteen million Baileys...Nami, do we have that much money?" Luffy asked Nami.

"It's only 16 million Beli. Don't forget, Kaya transferred 500 million Beli to me not long ago..." Nami said very easily.

Luffy really didn't know this, and he didn't take a close look at the transaction bill between Kaya and Nami.

"Yes, we still owe 1.38 billion Baileys!" The casino manager made up his mind and shouted to the navy.

"What you just calculated was only the principal. Don't forget the casino's rules. The interest must also be taken into account!"

As soon as he said this, beads of sweat appeared on Yisheng's face. "Even if the interest is included, you don't owe that much money, right?"

"You haven't fulfilled your responsibilities as a bodyguard at all!" The manager pointed to the huge hole created by the lightning.

"The decoration of the casino is also a huge amount of money, and it will all be charged to you!"

"..."

The blind swordsman touched his cheek with his fingers and looked towards Nami.

"It's just 1.3 billion berries. We can pay it off by taking out some of the bounty money from the navy treasury...hahahaha..." Nami laughed out of anger.

"We don't have a penny, you are all pirates!" Nami held the bubble gun high and cursed at the casino manager.

"It's only 1.3 billion berries. Can't the Navy even afford this little money?" Capone Becky said, smoking a cigar.

"It is only natural to pay back debts and interest. Even the World Government cannot default on its debts, right?" Capone Becky asked.

As a man who defeated several other major mafias and ruled the entire West Sea underworld, Peng Becky did not care about the money. His businesses were spread across every corner of the West Sea, and he was the veritable king of the underworld.

"Calm down, calm down, Nami-san!" Dashigi said, sweating.

"Damn it, the price is raised on the spot?!"

Nami gritted her teeth. She couldn't take out the money. Luffy's biggest asset was the car dealership in Alabasta. The navy wouldn't offer such a high salary.

Luffy couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and made these people laugh.

Dashiqi has already used his power as lieutenant general to revoke the legal business license, but these people are still so arrogant. They really don't take him seriously.

Fujitora is also a down-to-earth person. He does a job when he is asked to do so... Does this mean he focuses on procedural justice?

Luffy thought about his trip to Dressrosa when he was an admiral.

When Doflamingo abolished the Seven Warlords' positions, Issei went to kill him, but Doflamingo was reinstated, so Issei could only sit there and do nothing, symbolically throwing a few meteorites...

He is a general with zero record in his life. Although he has various reasons to explain why it is difficult to take action and why he cannot give his best, he is a general with zero record.

Even Green Bull, who seems unwilling to conflict with the Four Emperors, at least has a few records of picking up low-health bosses.

"Go and bring some of the money from the treasury at the naval base that is used to distribute bounties, and use it to pay for this expense."

Luffy instructed the local colonel.

"Yes!"

The local colonel mounted his horse and rode to his naval base.

I didn't expect to run into such a powerful character during this expedition against pirates. If we hadn't accidentally met the vice admiral of the headquarters, we might have been wiped out in this expedition against pirates.

Whatever the lieutenant general says is what it is. As for whether using the bounty violates the rules or not, that is not important.

The emperor is far away and the sky is high. What's the use of it? Not to mention that this is the order of the Lieutenant General, so naturally the Lieutenant General should bear the responsibility.

Seeing a naval captain walking away, the manager turned pale.

That little bit of money might be enough to make things difficult for some individual sailors, but it would be a dream to make things difficult for the entire group.

If someone really took out the reserve fund of a base to buy Yisheng, he would have no way to deal with it.

"This is not in compliance with Navy regulations!"

The manager said as he shrank back toward the inside of the casino.

The gang leader at the side let out a click of the tongue and put out his cigar on the table.

It's time to go to war.

Damn the weather, a big storm came suddenly...

Is the only way to hide inside the island?

Capone Becky looked up at the thick dark clouds in the sky.

Soon it was daytime, but in the blink of an eye it was pitch dark.

There was a strong wind blowing in the air, mixed with a little rain, and it was chilly.

The atmosphere at the scene gradually became silent, just as uncomfortable as the rainy day.

Everyone was waiting for the return of the naval captain.

But some people can't wait, Capone Becky is ready to break out, "Lifelong, I order you to drive the navy out!"

"I'm very sorry, but I can't obey your order." Yisheng held the cane and sword in his hand. "My identity only allows me to protect this casino. Please don't fight here for the sake of my hard work. If the Navy Lord doesn't carry out further destruction, then I won't attack the Navy Lord..."

Life has its own logic of action.

Rules and regulations must be followed.

Personally, I don't want to attack the navy, lest I become a pirate.

"Useless trash!" Capone Becky's eyes were cold, and the attack was ready. Countless shells were fired from his body!

Tashigi uses her observation Haki to predict the enemy's next move.

"Castle·Blast!"

Capone Becky had an eager look on his face and opened fire directly.

He is the user of the Castle Fruit, and his body has an extremely exaggerated castle-level defense. He can also live in people and hide weapons inside his body.

After these weapons are fired and leave the body, they will return to their original size.

In just a moment, when the enemy had no time to react, countless artillery bullets fired over.

If this attack method is regarded as a fist, it is like sending out thousands or even tens of thousands of supersonic iron fists in an instant, with terrifying power.

Relying on this unstoppable devil fruit, Capone Becky successfully defeated several other major mafia gangs and made his gang the only one in power.

But what he faced were monsters in the Grand Line that were beyond human limits.

Before Tashigi could draw his sword, Yisheng took the lead in attacking.

He slammed his staff knife to the ground, and the invisible and huge gravity ring made the mafia's face change drastically. The rest of his men had already been pinned to the ground and unable to move.

"A person with special abilities!" Capone Becky said in a deep voice.

"Good weight!"

"So sad……"

"Godfather, I can't move!!!"

The thugs lay on the ground in extreme pain, feeling that their bones, internal organs, and blood were all twisted and deformed.

As a castle dweller, Capone Becky's resistance is slightly higher than that of these pure humans, and he can move freely.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General!" The naval colonel who had gone back to the base to get the money was already rushing back with more than a dozen suitcases.

"Each box contains 100 million Baileys. Please take a look!"

"You are my subordinate now."

Luffy didn't look at the box, he just spoke to the blind swordsman.

"Will you let me serve as a marine?"

"Then please let me gain the first merit."

Yisheng jumped backwards. He looked at Capone Becky who was struggling against gravity. His legs had turned into tank tracks and his body had expanded to more than twice its size, like a huge house.

"Get out of the way, navy!" The castle people started the tracks and charged forward like a giant tank.

The humans in the tank are not affected by gravity because all the space and gravity in the castle are controlled by the castle owner.

Da da da……

boom!
Machine gun fire and individual missile bombing came in an instant.

This guy... should be the strongest pirate in the four seas that Luffy has ever seen.

Yisheng held the cane knife, pulled out the blade slightly, and put it back. With a click, all the bullets fell to the ground with a clang. The ground sank directly, and the huge gravity made Capone Becky scream and spit out blood.

The excessive gravity made the castle unable to support itself and it began to show signs of collapse, and he eventually fainted.

"Take them away."

Luffy waved his hand, and the journey of the Fire Tank Pirates came to an end.

"The casino was shut down, the manager was thrown into jail, and all the properties were seized."

The money in the treasury of the naval base went around outside and returned to the hands of the naval base.

"This knife... is it Gambler's Crossbow?" Tashigi's eyes were fixed on the inconspicuous staff knife in the blind swordsman's hand.

She originally thought it was a cane, until Yisheng pulled out a piece of the knife, and the straight blade pattern on it attracted Tashigi.

“I didn’t expect there would be a swordsman who loves famous swords.” Issei was a little surprised.

"This is indeed a famous sword, one of the Twelve Great Swords, the Gambler's Blade."

Noticing Dashigi's knowledge and love of swords, Fujitora held the sword in his hand horizontally and handed it to her.

"Wow, hahaha, it's an extremely rare famous sword from the Twelve Craftsmen. It has a straight blade and a cutting edge..." Tashigi looked at the staff sword carefully and no longer cared about her previous obstruction of the navy.

"Oh! I thought I could do something..." Nami sighed as she sat on the lion dog's back, then lay lazily on it.

"It seems that I have stolen the girl's limelight. I'm really sorry." Yisheng apologized after hearing this.

"It's okay. We're in the city anyway, and I can't use my full power."

"If Nami wants to do this, I will change your position to a combatant..."

"Damei! I'm just trying to show off my skills. I'm not a real fighter!" Nami refused with her arms crossed.

Heavy rain was pouring down, and Fujitora looked up in surprise.

Although I could hear the sound of rain hitting the ground, I didn't feel any rain on myself.

If he could see with his eyes, he would find that a white halo spread out from the lion dog, dispersing the rain and storm, making it impossible for the rain to fall and the wind to enter.

"Are you a great swordsman?" Dashigi looked at him for a moment, then reluctantly returned the famous sword to Yisheng.

"There aren't many great swordsmen like you who... abide by the law."

"Although I hold the supreme blade, I focus more on the ability of the devil fruit. Swordsmanship only exists as a supplementary ability." Yisheng explained.

"It's raining heavily. The storm will get stronger in three minutes. Let's go back to the ship first. This new great swordsman also needs to be registered."

Nami looked up at the overcast sky and read the new weather forecast.

Name: Lifetime

Parahuman-type, user of the power of the Juju Fruit, great swordsman
…After returning to the ship, Tashigi was making a simple job identity for her life.

Wuta was very curious about Yisheng, "Uncle, you are so strong, how come you still lose money and owe so much debt?"

“Where’s your observation Haki?”

Yisheng was a little embarrassed. "Because there are too many dirty and vulgar people in the world that are hard to bear to look at, I chose to close my eyes. However... this way, my observation Haki was also slightly affected. Even if I heard the cheating action, I had no choice but to admit it because I had no evidence..."

Lifetime said.

"Did you destroy your eyes by yourself?" Dashigi was shocked. She thought that she was fighting with some powerful enemy and her eyes were destroyed by the opponent, but she didn't expect that it was actually done by herself.

"Look, this is the end of gambling. He is in so much debt that he has to sell himself to pay it off. Wuta, don't learn from him!"

Luffy scoffed mercilessly.

"I don't gamble much!"

"You get addicted to games just like you do when you play them. It's no different from gambling."
