Yake has already retired two vehicles.
The other drivers didn't dare to have any ulterior motives and just focused on the race; causing trouble was suicidal! However, since Yake couldn't move, the others could do whatever they wanted. The three cars fought each other, and in the end, it was the combination of Benz and Xia Shu who faced off against Yake in the final battle!
"The final sprint has begun! Who will take the Champion? Benz, Xia Shu? Or the god?"
The host's passionate voice ignited the entire venue, and everyone stood up and cheered loudly, waiting for the Champion to be born.
"Hehe, I won't lose to you! Not even to a god!" The modified car that Shita started releasing nitrous oxide, instantly overtaking Yake and leaving Yake far behind.
"!!!"
Yake increased the current, Muscle Turtle twitched wildly, the car speeding up faster and faster!
Yake's AE86 and Xia Shu's Benz are neck and neck, and Yake's adrenaline is soaring!
"Oh my gosh~ The Champion has been crowned! Congratulations to Benz and Shita for defeating Yake by a mere 0.02 seconds and winning the prize of ten million Beli!"
Yake fell silent. He hadn't expected that even the fastest AE86 couldn't catch up with someone riding Benz as they Shita. Yake accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.
"That was really fun! Congratulations!" Yake sincerely congratulated the couple. Although he called himself a god, he was essentially a human being with normal emotions. Losing was losing; it was just a small amount of money.
"Ara~ Lord Yake is so generous! Besides the thrilling turtle shell race, we have many other entertainment activities here. Let me show you around, shall I?" Baccarat walked gracefully towards Yake.
Yake didn't speak, but gestured for Baccarat to lead the way.
Baccarat swayed her voluptuous figure in front of Yake, explaining the various entertainment options at the amusement park. Most of the people there had bloodshot eyes and were panting heavily. Some were ecstatic, while others had lost their minds. Without exception, they were all consumed by desire and had lost themselves.
"Lord Yake, what would you like to play?" Baccarat asked with a radiant smile.
Yake pointed in a direction, where a middle-aged man in a purple robe waited anxiously for the answer, muttering to himself.
"Let's play this game, guessing size."
Yake spotted a familiar face. Seeing him here wasn't surprising to Yake; Fujitora Issho was a notorious gambler, and the Gold City was the most extravagant gambling den in the world. No, Fujitora wasn't yet a Marine Admiral; at this time, he didn't have the title Fujitora, and his real name was Issho.
Baccarat looked in the direction Yake pointed, her heart skipped a beat, and she knew something was wrong. Why did he have to pick this gambling addict? Although he was blind, he hadn't lost much. Unless she took action herself, Yake would definitely not be able to beat that old guy. What if he couldn't handle the game and got desperate?
"Hehehehe~ Lord Yake, there are plenty of empty seats here, why do you have to squeeze over there? Eh~" Baccarat tried to get Yake to move to another spot, but Yake had already walked towards Ichisho's seat on his own.
Baccarat had no choice but to give the security guard a look and catch up with Yake.
"Old sir, how about I make a bet with you?" Yake sat in an empty seat, a smile playing on his lips. Yake waved his hand a few times, and Baccarat understood what Yake meant.
A group of security personnel were dispatched, and all the bystanders were asked to move aside, leaving only Yake and Ikko as the two guests at the gambling table.
"I never expected to encounter such a person here. I am Issho. May I ask what you wish to bet on?" Although Issho is blind, his Observation Haki is extremely powerful. He can even sense meteorites in space and use the Press-Press Fruit's ability to pull them down to strike enemies. He will later become one of the Marine Headquarters' top combatants, known as Fujitora.
"How about we bet on big or small? I choose big!" Yake snapped his the Snap, signaling the dealer to quickly shake the dice.
"It seems I have no choice but to choose the smaller one."
The dealer shook the dice clock, and the dice clattered.
"Smack!"
The result was 3-3-2; Little Yake lost.
"Hahaha, it seems I've won! What a lucky day!" He laughed heartily, as if he were a five-hundred-pound child.
"Lady Luck isn't paying attention to me, is she? Mr. Yixiao, what do you think of this world?" Yake didn't care about winning or losing, Float-Float Fruit was also out of his mind. Such a powerful wild fighter had appeared in front of him, and it would be a crime not to try to recruit him.
"There are just too many filthy and despicable people in this world that are unbearable to look at. It's a blessing to be blind to them," Yixiao said without hesitation. He had a sense of justice and his own ideals, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to join the Navy. Although he could no longer see the evil in this world, he wanted to feel it with his heart. It was a world that was even more tragic than what he could see with his eyes.
"In my view, the source of evil in this world is the Celestial Dragons. Only by severing the source of evil can the world be corrected."
"I believe Mr. Yixiao is also a man of justice. Why not join me in questioning this world? Overturning this world? Changing this world?"
Yake sincerely stated that only by appealing to emotions and reasoning with a strong person like Yixiao, and by sharing the same values, would they willingly Yake.
"Your words leave me speechless, but the changes in the world will inevitably cause turmoil. What will happen to those innocent people?" Yixiao was somewhat tempted, but he was not completely convinced by Yake.
"Heh, Mr. Yixiao, you're too naive. Do you know how many innocent people die every year because of the Heavenly Tribute? You can't even begin to count... As long as the Celestial Dragons exist in this world, so-called innocent people will only die in vain."
Yi Xiao fell into a deep silence and didn't speak for a long time.
"Haha, alright then, Mr. Yixiao, let's decide with dice whether following me is the right choice, shall we? How about it? I'll still choose big!" Yake chose to let Fate decide. If he lost, he could simply leave without looking back, but if he won, given Yixiao's personality, he certainly wouldn't regret it.
"Sigh~ So be it, I choose the smaller one." Yi Xiao sighed, sitting up straight. This was the biggest gamble he had ever taken.
Baccarat took off her gloves, preparing to transfer her elusive luck to Yake. Yake turned and stared at her, indicating his refusal. What was the point of cheating?
"Mr. Yixiao, it seems you're mentally prepared. Come on!" Yake snapped his the Snap again.
The dealer was sweating profusely; these two were definitely up to something, but he still had to dutifully shake the dice.
"Splash, splash~"
Yake crossed his arms, looking completely at ease.
