One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 153 Crocodile

"What a greedy little devil!"

Cap let out a loud laugh.

"But this has nothing to do with me! I just need to pay attention to your actions."

"Lieutenant General Garp!"

Smoker stood up and shouted.

In his eyes, a strong sense of justice was burning.

The Baroque Works, a criminal organization established in secret, and its hidden plan to steal the country.

If Crocodile really hides such darkness as Rod said, then even if he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Smoker swears that he will arrest him no matter what!

The truth of the matter can only be discerned by him with his own eyes.

"Let's act together, Rhodes boy!"

···
雨地
This was originally just an ordinary oasis city.

However, since Crocodile came, the Rainland has become more and more prosperous.

Under the command and intimidation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, no pirate dared to cause trouble here.

Even if there are some young and incompetent people, they can be easily dealt with by Crocodile.

Crocodile guards this oasis city like a guardian angel, and the people in the city call him a 'hero'!
In the center of the rain land, there is a tall building. On the roof of the building is the shape of a huge crocodile. It is the casino [Rain Banquet] run by Crocodile!
Yuyan Casino is located in the middle of a lake, which is very luxurious in the desert where there is a lack of water.

"Very good, this time I'm going to kill everyone!"

Nia looked at the casino in front of her with high spirits.

She held Bakara tightly with one hand.

With Bakara here, she wants to be the real God of Gamblers this time!
Bakara covered her mouth and chuckled.

"I want to go shopping!"

Minina raised her little hand.

Compared to visiting the casino, she would rather take a look around and see if there are any special ingredients here.

After all, it is a desert country, so compared to other places, it should have its own unique food culture.

"I'll go with you."

Robin carried his small backpack.

This country with a long history may have some old objects that have been passed down to this day, from which we can get a glimpse of fragments of history.

"Dad, can I go to the casino?"

Bonnie looked up at the big bear.

"How about we go shopping with Sister Minina and Sister Robin?"

Big Bear waved his hand, squatted down and spoke to Bonnie in a gentle voice.

Bonnie is only 6 years old. It is already bad enough for her to wander on the sea with a pirate like him, let alone enter a casino.

"Ok."

Bonnie looked at the magnificent casino over there.

She also wanted to experience what fun there was there.

"I'll go with them, too."

Luo brought Bebo to stand next to Bonnie.

Although Bonnie has been preliminarily cured, it is still better for him as a doctor to keep an eye on her.

"I'll take Sissi for a walk by myself."

Genos had a cigarette between his lips.

He was not very interested in the casino, but he was very interested in the exotic style of the city. He thought it would be pleasant to take Sissi for a stroll in the city.

"Yohohoho~ I'll just follow Captain Rhodes."

Brooke stood behind Rod like a gentleman, with his cane hanging on his arm.

He is indeed a gentleman when he does not see a woman and ask for her underwear.

"Very good, let's go!"

The group split into three groups. Genos took Sissi to wander around the town, Minina and her group went to the western trade area, and the rest went directly to the [Rain Banquet] in the center of the rain land.

"Do you have money, Smoker?"

Garp followed Rhodes and the others and suddenly asked Smoker.

"Only 5 Baileys."

Smoker was stunned for a moment, then he answered.

"We'll follow those two women and place bets later."

Cap looked at Nia in front of him who was in high spirits.

···
Yuyan, in the basement office.

"Baquan Rod?"

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Crocodile turned around from behind his boss chair, took out a cigar, cut it, and lit it slowly.

"What is that new guy doing here?"

"I don't know. We just saw a group of them appear in the rain."

The subordinate bent down and reported the situation to Crocodile.

However, Crocodile did not expect any response from these subordinates.

These people in the casino were just his random recruits and had no value at all.

The only ones who are really useful under his command are the senior agents of the Baroque Agency.

However, the staff has not been recruited yet.

"However, the catwoman Nia in their group was clamoring to come to the casino and kill everyone. People on the street heard it."

"Killing everyone?"

Crocodile thought of some rumors and his face became slightly gloomy.

About half a year ago, when Rhodes and his party were in Lavis, they had a conflict with Tezoro, and in the end it seemed that they extorted a large sum of money from Tezoro.

Moreover, he also snatched someone from Tezulo, a woman who is very good at gambling! Could this kid want to come to me to win money?

Although he did not attach too much importance to money, Crocodile felt a surge of anger in his heart when he thought that the little devil did not care about him at all.

Looks like I need to teach that kid some rules!

But it doesn’t mean that just because he becomes one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he can be on equal footing with me.

There is also a huge gap between the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

"besides."

The subordinate suddenly spoke up again to add.

"There are two marines following them, one of whom seems to be a marine hero - Garp!"

"Garp!?"

Crocodile paused slightly.

As a naval hero who once chased the Pirate King Roger around the world, Garp's name is still full of deterrence.

Even a conceited man like Crocodile couldn't help but feel a little frightened after hearing the other party's name.

"Interesting, looks like I'll have to meet them in person."

Crocodile stood up. Even though he was in the hot desert, he was still wearing a thick cashmere coat.

···
On the ground, in the lobby of the casino.

"Come again!!"

Nia looked at the gambling table in front of her with excitement.

With Bakara's ability, it was like they were picking up money.

No matter how you buy, you win!
The dealer on the other side has changed five times in a row, and the one in front of him, who just came up a while ago, is pale and sweating profusely, and it seems that he is about to collapse.

"God of Gamblers!!"

"What an amazing little girl!"

"How do we buy the next one? We'll follow you!"

"···"

The gamblers around stared at Nia and Bakara with red eyes, but did not dare to get too close. It was as if there was an invisible barrier around them, isolating these gamblers.

These two women are like the God of Gamblers possessed, they win every time.

I don’t know why, but any gambler who gets close to them will encounter some unexpected situation, such as nosebleed, sudden back sprain, or stomachache and urgent need to go to the toilet.

As a result, these gamblers were afraid to approach them.

"How do I buy this?"

Nia turned her head to look at Bakara, only to see him shaking his head at her.

The 'lucky energy' that they had stored up before had been almost used up, and those gamblers did not dare to approach them, leaving Bakara with no chance to continue absorbing 'luck'. If she continued to win, she would have to overdraw her own luck.

"Ok."

Seeing Bakara's actions, Nia calmed down a little.

She originally just wanted to experience the feeling of being a gambling god and dominating everyone, and she didn't have much pursuit for how much money she won.

"Forget it, no more playing."

"What's wrong? Did we not treat you well enough?"

A low voice suddenly came, and the dealer behind the gambling table immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the person who came respectfully.

"Mr. Crocodile!"

The crowd made way for Crocodile to pass through. Even the gamblers who were obsessed with gambling looked at Crocodile with admiration.

The other party is a hero of this country and even more of this city!
It is precisely because of the other party's protection that Rainland has achieved such great development in a short period of time and quickly became one of the most wealthy cities in the whole of Alabasta.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Crocodile looked towards the group across from him and let out his signature four-part, gasping laugh.

"The new Shichibukai, you and the marine heroes are here with me. How can I not let you have enough fun?"

Crocodile exhaled a long puff of smoke and looked at the people opposite him.

"Come to the VIP room. It would be rude to let you play here."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Rhodes glanced at Crocodile opposite him, and his eyes moved around his left hand.

Crocodile's left hand was broken many years ago, and he later installed a golden hook on it.

I don't know if [Knight Never Dies Unarmed] can work on his golden hook?

A thought flashed through Rhodes' mind.

Last time in the small garden, he felt deeply regretful for not being able to take off Zephyr's prosthesis. He wondered if Crocodile could make up for it a little this time.

"Hahahaha, let me be clear first, I don't have any money!"

Karp pinched his nose, stuffed the chips he had just won from Bakara into his arms, and said without changing his expression.

"I'll give you 3000 million."

Crocodile glanced at Garp.

The presence of this old guy made him feel vaguely uneasy.

As a naval hero, he would not sit idly by and watch the infighting among the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

It would be really troublesome if the other party tried to stop him from dealing with Rhodes.

Crocodile turned around and led them towards the VIP room. Before he came over, he had already instructed his men to clean up the place.

But wasn't Nico Robin with him?

Crocodile just glanced at Rhodes and his group, but did not see Nico Robin.

But that’s fine too.

Crocodile thought of the members of the Baroque Workshop whom he had contacted on the phone before.
