Crocodile and Donquixote Doflamingo cursed as they bowed out of the conversation.

"Would it kill you to stop showing off?"

"So what if you're rich?"

Neither wanted to be associated with Rogge. They sat off to the side, watching the arena in silence.

Rogge sent Carl to place a bet.

Even Rogge's companions were stunned by ten billion Beli. That was no small sum. But then they remembered his gambler's streak. He had made over twenty billion Beli yesterday; even if he lost ten billion on this bet, he would still be ten billion ahead.

That was how Rogge saw it. If he lost, he would stop gambling. If he won, he would set aside his original stake and take the winnings out for another round.

Win, and he was Rogge. Lose, and he was just some guy named Rogge. Hadn't Heavenly Tribute been a gamble like this too? He had even wagered his life on that one.

Carl wanted to talk Rogge out of it. Ten billion Beli could accomplish a great deal. She didn't know Rogge and the others also had a Sky Island, or she would never have considered trying to persuade him.

Ham motioned for Carl to place the bet. Seeing how unconcerned everyone else was, she gritted her teeth and took the money to Tesoro.

"Heh heh heh. You're actually doing it?" Donquixote Doflamingo had thought Rogge was just showing off. He hadn't expected him to place the bet for real. Ten billion Beli was more than he could earn in years.

Crocodile had tuned Rogge out. He wasn't talking to rich people anymore. His eyes stayed on the arena, though he began puffing on his cigar much faster.
