Though Perverted, He's Still Talented

Chapter 44: Perverted, But Talented

Two hundred million Belly.

In the world of the Pirate King, it's not a lot, and it's not a little.

When a single suitcase was filled with two hundred million Belly in banknotes.

Roy walked out of the casino first, under the envious and jealous gazes of many.

Spandam followed closely behind; he had also earned fifty million Belly this trip.

Because of Roy and Spandam's arrival, the two of them alone had fleeced Crocodile out of nearly two hundred and fifty million Belly.

Sitting in the casino's comfortable private car, feeling the soft velvet beneath him.

"Oh, did I guess wrong?

It seems Crocodile doesn't intend to let us have this two hundred and fifty million Belly after all!"

Through the Echo Map's detection and the assistance of Observation Haki.

Roy quickly discovered someone was tracking them from behind the vehicle.

Roy merely grumbled a couple of times about Crocodile's stinginess.

He reached into his chest with his left hand and pulled out a Den Den Mushi.

Wisps of mist began to slowly drift out of the carriage.

Huh!

The driver of the vehicle suddenly clutched his throat, feeling difficulty breathing.

When his vision suddenly went black and he was about to fall, Roy took the reins from the driver's hand. Following the Echo Map's instructions, the vehicle quickly changed direction.

"Damn it, I told you so! How can any of the Shichibukai be good people? Now we've been targeted!

And you wouldn't believe me. It's not that easy to take money from a Shichibukai."

Upon receiving the message, Spandam decisively took the driver hostage.

A flicker of panic flashed in his eyes, but while holding a knife to the driver's waist, his other hand never let go of the box containing the money.

Two camel carts that should have been heading in the same direction suddenly separated.

Bon Clay, who was following Roy and the others, also stopped.

"Oh, I've been discovered?

Interesting. This young man's secrets truly make me curious."

Choosing a direction, Bon Clay decisively followed Roy.

In fact, this pursuit was entirely Bon Clay's personal decision.

Ever since he accepted this boring escort mission, he had finally encountered someone interesting in this massive casino today.

Two hundred and fifty million Belly was a significant amount, but for Crocodile, who controlled the entire city, it wasn't much.

Normally, for a high roller like Roy, as long as no cheating was detected, the casino would just accept the loss.

However, although Roy appeared to be playing by the rules in the casino, he was actually dominating the games.

And Bon Clay, who was in the casino today, was known for his love of novelty and perverted tastes.

Through the surveillance Den Den Mushi.

Perhaps because Roy had won too many times at the small betting tables earlier, Bon Clay's intuition told him Roy was cheating, but he couldn't find any flaws through the surveillance.

An almost perfect cheat.

This immediately piqued Bon Clay's curiosity.

Thus, this pursuit, undertaken on personal initiative, began.

Bon Clay was becoming increasingly curious about how Roy had dominated the games in the casino and why he had discovered his pursuit while still in the car.

Although pursuing a gambler without any evidence clearly violated the casino's rules, Baroque Works was, after all, a lawless assassination organization.

Therefore, most of its members, besides obeying their superiors, were generally a group of lawless thugs.

The casino's rules could not restrain the members of Baroque Works.

And as Crocodile's reputation in Alabasta grew.

Under his deliberate indulgence, the members of Baroque Works became increasingly arrogant within Alabasta.

The camel carts, marked with Crocodile's insignia, were allowed to gallop freely within the Rain Country.

Turning into a narrow alley, the galloping vehicle slowly came to a stop.

The camel collapsed to the ground, its body limp.

"Oh, it stopped? But why isn't it running anymore?"

Slightly out of breath, Bon Clay looked at the suddenly stopped carriage and cautiously approached with curiosity.

Clang!

He kicked open the car door.

"What! Where'd they go!"

The empty carriage caused Bon Clay's expression to change.

"Hey! You pervert, were you looking for me?"

Clouds of mist silently appeared behind Bon Clay.

A hand quietly rested on Bon Clay's shoulder.

A feeling of impending death.

Instantly tensed Bon Clay's entire body.

At this moment, he was shocked to discover that he didn't have the slightest thought of escaping.

Because his instincts told him that if he moved, he would likely die immediately.

The skill Reaper's Sound.

It had been quietly activated when Roy circled behind Bon Clay.

Terrifying low-frequency sound waves, which made living beings instinctively sense the threat of death.

Moreover, Roy's aura was not something an ordinary person could compare to.

Advanced Armament Haki, now directly covering his palm.

And Observation Haki along with Weakness Sonar were also in full effect.

It could be said that all of Bon Clay's weaknesses were laid bare before Roy's eyes.

Just like Bon Clay's intuition, if he dared to move, Roy was confident he could cripple his limbs in an instant.

Seeing Bon Clay suddenly break out in a cold sweat.

Actually, Roy had a degree of admiration for this guy dressed so bizarrely.

First, through the memories in his mind, Roy knew that although the man before him had a girlish heart, he was more loyal than most people on this sea.

Furthermore, a user of the Mane Mane no Mi was, in Roy's opinion, simply heaven-sent for gathering intelligence and working as an agent.

The future Pirate World was destined to be an era of surging undercurrents and constant conflict.

The forces of the old generation would gradually wither, and the powerhouses of the new era would seize this opportunity to rise.

And at the turning point of every era's transition, talent was the most crucial resource.

Based on the memories in his mind, looking at the two most successful men in the future new era.

One of the Yonko, Buggy, and Blackbeard.

In fact, one could see commonalities between the two of them.

That is, they both selected many elites from the world's largest talent gathering center, Impel Down.

Therefore, in the future, the most important resource is talent.

And for Bon Clay, who delivered himself to his doorstep, Roy decided to take him away directly.

Although this guy was a pervert, his abilities and the loyalty he possessed were things Roy coveted.

Moreover, because this man was very loyal, Roy believed there were too many ways to win him over.
