No wonder the beautiful dealer Kalifa felt pressured; those two old guys were really inconsiderate.
"Hey, isn't this no fun?" Vivi tried to brush off the game.
But neither of them agreed.
"How could that be? I find it quite interesting."
"Yes, we coating craftsmen don't understand your fancy words, but we still find it quite fun."
Alright! Seeing that the two men's Observation Haki were constantly probing the dice cup in her hand, Vivi also activated her Observation Haki to interfere and resist their probing.
Issho's Observation Haki allows him to sense meteorites in outer space. This is his unique talent, which emphasizes a wide range. However, there are trade-offs. If he focuses too much on distance, the senses he can perceive will not be very precise. When Vivi closes her eyes, she can sense human expressions, but within Issho's Observation Haki range, he can only sense a group of colorful stick figures.
Ikko's Observation Haki is very strong, but its precision is lacking.
What about Rayleigh? The old man is 75 years old this year. His body and mentality are not as strong as they were in their prime. Haki is not an internal skill, and it is not that the longer you live, the stronger you become. How is Whitebeard's Haki? He was evenly matched with Shanks, who was 30 years younger. In Vivi's eyes, Rayleigh's Haki exudes a strong sense of old age.
Did he lose his edge because he learned the truth about Laugh Rudd?
Rayleigh's Observation Haki wasn't top-tier even at its peak, let alone now.
Yixiao's Observation Haki wasn't top-tier either. No matter how hard he tried or how unwilling he was, he was still blind. Observation Haki, first and foremost, is about "seeing." If he couldn't see anything, he was naturally a level lower.
Vivi's level 6 Observation Haki held its own against the two opponents.
She shook the dice cup, deflecting and parrying, occasionally misleading the two men's perceptions.
The two, who had been relaxed, became increasingly serious. Yi Xiao gripped her cane tightly, and Rayleigh's flip-flops, which had been making a calm "tap-tap" sound, were now fixed on the dice cup in Vivi's hand through his glasses.
Vivi was also having a hard time. Her Observation Haki was no less than the two of them, and she also had the home-field advantage. After all, she had the dice in her hands, and she could roll them however she wanted, whenever she wanted, and as fast or slow as she wanted. But facing the two of them attacking from the same side, she was still struggling.
You mislead one side, and then the other side attacks. You finally manage to steer the other side's perception astray, but the one you misled comes right back.
"How terrifying!" she exclaimed, mimicking Kizaru's catchphrase. The entire dice-rolling process only lasted a dozen seconds, yet she was already sweating profusely in those few seconds. With a "smack," the dice were slammed onto the gambling table, and she herself was completely bewildered. What had she rolled? She had no idea.
He smiled, stroked his chin, and thought seriously for a moment: "I guess... it's big!"
Compared to Yixiao, who was 50 years old and still wanted to fight with all his might, Rayleigh's demeanor was very calm.
"Then I'll bet on small. Little girl, stop thinking about it and open the door."
Vivi has the ability to handle heavy tasks with ease. Although she was a bit embarrassed this time, she didn't resort to the trick of smashing the dice and directly opened the dice cup.
The six dice are arranged in a row.
"Nineteen points, old man, you lost."
Rayleigh was unlucky; he won by sheer luck with a smile.
After that, their Observation and Haki interfered with each other, and they played three more rounds. It was purely based on luck. They won two rounds and lost one. Including the first round, they won a total of three rounds, a 75% win rate.
Actually, he wasn't very lucky, but today he met someone with even worse luck.
"My luck is terrible, I've lost all my retirement money..." Rayleigh looked through his pockets, which were typically emptier than his face.
The old pirate, wearing flip-flops, slowly left the casino.
"Uncle, you need to be careful, the navy is making a move..." Vivi said in a low voice, trying to "ruin" the situation.
Yi Xiao nodded: "I saw the navy on the outskirts earlier, but... justice shouldn't be served in this way! Never mind, I'm just a commoner, let the big shots worry about this."
He smiled and said, "Young lady, don't worry. I'm just here for fun and won't ruin your plans."
Fine!
Vivi didn't have a good solution either. Robin could be forcibly dragged onto the ship, but she couldn't drag this one.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, she left the casino.
With such a large expo, she has a lot to organize and is quite busy.
Foole those you can fool, and beat those you can't fool. Close the door and release the sand crocodiles!
On the first day of the World Expo, Crocodile hanged more than a hundred pirates who were trying to cause trouble.
Vivi was surprised to discover that this guy's Observation Haki had awakened! Although the level was very low, it was a milestone improvement from nothing to something.
Old Sha has actually awakened Observation Haki... As an onlooker, I couldn't help but click my tongue in amazement; this is truly a miracle...
After a long day, Vivi finally remembered that she should call Bello Betty. "Your young master has come all over here. Aren't you worried?" She picked up the phone but hesitated. Even the Queen of the Transvestites didn't know that the dragon had a son. Did Bello Betty know?
She couldn't make that call; she couldn't explain why she knew such sensitive information.
Well, let Luffy fend for himself.
After you report it, the administrator will correct the chapter content later.
Chapter 216 Doflamingo is here
The theme of the first day of the Pirate Expo was revelry, and the second day saw the start of the official competition, which was a tournament. The prize for the champion was the very cool-looking Seven Star Sword, which was said to be cursed by the gods.
The rules of the battle are simple: twenty people go up to the arena at a time, and the last one left can enter the next round.
Pirates are a group of brave and fierce people, and it is inevitable that they will get injured in battle. Vivi once again played the role of doctor, giving an anesthetic injection to her leg and then bleeding her out!
The first day of the tournament went relatively smoothly, but on the second day she discovered that pirates were sneaking around stealing her anesthetic, then carefully applying it to her dagger...
As the organizer, this behavior is definitely prohibited; it's unfair to the other pirates! She doesn't have much anesthetic, how can she waste it?
They used the same trick from Whiskey Hill back in the day: the atmosphere team put on a show and offered free drinks, while in the distance, a fight raged with blood and limbs flying everywhere, the stench of blood filling the air. Vivi directed the bounty hunters from Baroque Works to do business below.
Under her leadership, a bounty hunter organization is showing signs of transforming into a business guild.
Pirates in the New World have seen it all; it's easy for them to run into trouble if they try to sell Shiki's rope and Hawkeye's dagger again. What if Hawkeye suddenly appears out of nowhere? Should Crocodile step in, or should Vivi, the swordswoman, take the lead?
They cannot be sold directly; some methods and approaches are needed.
Considering the high demand for anesthetics, she organized a lucky draw where customers who bought ten lucky rabbit feet could enter a prize draw. The prize included her carefully formulated anesthetic, and everyone who used it said it was very effective.
Red Earl's umbrellas can still be sold as usual, but he's still in prison and won't be out anytime soon. All sorts of ropes and knives need to be repackaged, and in the end, the ropes become Fishman Island ropes, and the knives become Wano Country's treasured swords.
There were many flaws in it, but she was too lazy to bother with them and just wanted to fool as many people as she could.
Traffic is indeed terrifying. Taking advantage of the popularity of the arena, Vivi sold 60 million Berries worth of supplies in just one morning. One-tenth of the goods brought from Whiskey Hill were sold. Keep in mind that the World Expo will last for a whole month, and she has prepared sufficient supplies for it. The current sales volume is truly terrifying.
Her "one-shot" business was incomparable to other people's "one-shot" businesses; she could only reduce the quantity of goods she sold and replace it with other activities.
For example, fortune telling! She can predict people's future, marriage prospects, and so on.
For example, deciphering nautical charts! Pirates generally have low levels of education, and they can't understand many treasure maps at all. People like Buggy the Clown and Nami are extremely rare. Vivi used her professional nautical knowledge to help them point out the location of the treasure.
These were all paid services, and she took the opportunity to make a small profit.
As the World Expo enters the final 32 round, some strong contenders are beginning to emerge.
Chinjao, the former leader of the Eight Treasures Navy with a bounty of 542 million, from the Flower Country of the West Sea, has reappeared before the world. Everyone thinks he is a favorite to win the championship. It is said that the old man is preparing to use the Seven Star Sword to split the iceberg.
Cavendish, the captain of the Handsome Pirates and a supernova with a bounty of 280 million, is also a popular contender for the championship.
Many people believe that the young pepper is too old and his skills are not as good as those of the young nobleman.
Vivi had just finished telling a female pirate's fortune and was drinking water when she suddenly heard a loud shout from the arena: "Fire Fist!"
"Pfft!" She spat out a mouthful of water.
She looked at the ring as if she had seen a ghost, and just then she saw Ace, with his freckled face, knock out his opponent with one punch.
Why is this guy here too? Ace knew her true identity, and if this guy made a sound, Vivi would be exposed. She quickly ducked into the fortune teller's tent, not intending to meet Ace.
She took out a Den Den Mushi, intending to tell Ace to leave immediately, but the call didn't go through. Not knowing what the other person was doing, she could only make a note of it for now and deal with it later.
With so many people around, Ace couldn't see Vivi. He laughed as he walked off the stage, patted Luffy's shoulder hard, and said that his little brother had also come up to the stage, but was eliminated in the first round, indicating that the difference in strength was still quite large.
At this moment, Luffy was pouting, looking very unhappy.
Ace pulled him up: "Come on! Let's go eat meat!"
Luffy's eyes lit up: "Okay, let's eat meat!"
Robin, not far away, clutched her forehead. These two problem children were such a handful, always trying to dine and dash, and she was running out of money.
Rayleigh, standing further away, stared at Luffy's straw hat in silence for a long time.
......
The competition was in full swing. On the tenth day of the Expo, Doflamingo finally couldn't sit still any longer. He brought Diamante, one of his four top executives who had eaten the Paramecia-type Float-Float Fruit, to the Expo site.
Doflamingo's crew is arguably the most powerful of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, making it the strongest pirate crew below the Four Emperors.
This executive, codenamed "Square," had a bounty of 9900 million Berries on his head before Doflamingo became a Shichibukai.
Vivi and Mr. 1 are the only decent subordinates Crocodile's camp can boast about right now. Crocodile was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigar and reading a newspaper. One of them was doing accounts with his head down, and the other was drinking tea. When Doflamingo walked into the room, none of the three paid any attention to him.
"Fufufufu!" Doflamingo let out a very distinctive laugh.
“Crocodile, you’re bolder than I expected, really, you’re very bold,” he said, emphasizing each word.
Is Crocodile afraid of Doflamingo? Let alone now, after weathering the storms and with the Big Mom Pirates supporting him, he wasn't afraid even before.
He slowly exhaled, ignoring Doflamingo's threat: "Who do you think I am? Business is business. If you can do it, so can I."
His tone was casual, showing no concern whatsoever about encroaching on the other party's core territory.
Everyone relies on their own abilities; who's afraid of whom?
Doflamingo stared intently at Crocodile. This guy was incredibly audacious! How dare he provoke him!
Doflamingo is very arrogant. He has always believed that his strength and power are second only to the Four Emperors, and he doesn't care about the other Seven Warlords of the Sea at all. Today, Crocodile's attitude has deeply hurt him.
When exactly did this spineless coward dare to mock me?! Upon closer inspection, lo and behold, this coward's aura has actually awakened! Did it awaken because he's determined to fight me to the death?
Doflamingo felt as if his face had been slapped into the mud and then stomped on twice.
After you report it, the administrator will correct the chapter content later.
Chapter 217 Diamante
"Be a dog for Big Mom's crew? That old hag doesn't even care about her own children, why would she care about you? Go back to your Alabasta, and I can pretend today's events never happened." Doflamingo was still trying to make one last negotiation.
Crocodile laughed wildly: "I used to think you were smart, but it seems I was wrong. You're stupid, stupid as a pig! What do you think I'm doing here? Playing games with you? I can't back down, and neither can you!"
"Good, good, good! You have officially declared war on the Donquixote Family. I accept your challenge. I will send someone to select a fine piece of wood for your coffin. Let's go!" Doflamingo, his face full of murderous intent, strode away from the room with his subordinates, his steps ruthless and indifferent.
"You two need to be careful. Knowing him as I do, his revenge will come soon," Crocodile warned Vivi and Mr. 1. Both of them remained expressionless, one continuing to do the accounting, the other continuing to drink tea, seemingly not taking it seriously.
