The bonfires, blazing brightly, have already been lit in every corner of the island.
Countless pirates gathered around the campfire, singing and dancing.
You can even see many pirates in the crowd who, in high spirits, are performing all sorts of acrobatic tricks.
The entire island was filled with laughter and joy.
This undoubtedly attracted many pirates who were visiting for the first time, making them yearn for it.
However, this seemingly pirate paradise island, with its surroundings, is just an illusion.
Bai Yu and Ace quickly weaved through the crowd and finally entered a huge entertainment venue in the center of the island.
As you walk through the narrow corridor, a completely different scene comes into view.
This enormous casino connects directly to the interior of the island.
It seemed as if it had been hollowed out, forming a huge, circular, empty space.
A spiraling, ascending corridor surrounded the area, adorned with various pirate flags.
At the very top, there was a wooden boat.
Countless lights illuminated the place as if it were daytime.
Various shouts and calls emanated from the gambling tables set up all around.
These people were pirates and outlaws with some power and wealth at sea.
Facing a life of constant danger, each time they returned from overseas with heads on their belts, they would gamble away all the money and spoils they had obtained.
Unfortunately, winning money in a casino is one thing, but losing all your money, or even being emptied of everything, is quite another.
Even worse, some people are risking their lives.
In the end, he not only lost all his money, but also his life.
Of course, as pirates who live on the edge, each one of them is a ruthless character.
If people could be polite and obedient, this kind of thing would never happen.
Therefore, deadly battles would break out every so often inside this meeting place, which had been hollowed out of the mountain.
Bloodshed and death are all too common.
Many betting operators prefer these unexpected events to allow them to open a betting pool and gamble on their fate.
"You bastard, you dare to renege on your bets? Die!"
A deep voice suddenly rang out.
It was as huge as Giant Bear, and its face was as rugged as a wild beast.
His enormous fist clenched tightly, instantly transforming into a metallic sheen, and he delivered a powerful blow, striking the scarred pirate, who was gambling with him, squarely on the head.
" Bear King, how dare you!"
Scarface Pirate's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly raised his hand to Guard.
Unfortunately, the punch landed with the force of a thousand pounds, instantly shattering Scarface's hands.
At the same time, the head that was being shielded by the arms was smashed to pieces.
In an instant, warm blood splattered in all directions, and the headless corpse slammed heavily to the ground.
The sudden turn of events caused many of the pirates watching to gasp in shock, and their gazes towards the Bear King became tinged with apprehension.
However, the waiters who were already waiting around were used to this kind of thing and simply turned around and cleaned up the body.
With Scarface eliminated, only three people remained at the largest gambling table.
Besides the Bear King who had just attacked, there was also a thin man with purple hair.
If Bai Yu remembers correctly, he should have appeared on the Navy's wanted list as Mushroom Fruit Devil Fruit User Mushul, who had a bounty of 70 million Beli.
The amount of the bounty offered is not much different from that of the Bear King.
As for the last person, that was Bai Yu's target for this trip.
" Bai Yu, you wouldn't have fallen for these two lowlifes, would you?"
Ace's cheek muscles twitched, and he couldn't help but say something.
He is Supernovas with a bounty of 500 million Beli and the Second Division Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.
He really looked down on this kind of crew member.
"No, I'm interested in that blind man over there!"
Bai Yu smiled, took a swig of his drink, and looked at the third person.
Fujitora Issho!
In the original work, after the Paramount War, in order to quickly replenish the missing combat power, the Marine Headquarters made an exception and carried out a nationwide conscription, resulting in the acquisition of a new Marine Admiral, Fujitora Issho, who possesses the Paramecia Devil Fruit and the ability to manipulate gravity.
Not only does he possess unparalleled Haki skills, but he has also developed his Devil Fruit abilities to the extreme.
Most importantly, it made it easier for Bai Yu to escape.
After all, if Trafalgar Law had to do it every time, his small frame would be out of breath even if he flew a little further.
After flying a few more times, he became completely panting, like an old ox worn out from plowing.
Therefore, considering Trafalgar Law's future quality of life, Bai Yu decided to recruit some new people to join the group.
Fujitora Issho was undoubtedly the best choice.
"A blind man?"
Ace was a little surprised as he looked at the old man in front of him, who was wearing a purple robe and holding a simple cane.
At that moment, he finally understood why Bai Yu had told him not to use the Whitebeard mantra.
The man before him did look a bit younger than the Whitebeard, but he was at least in his early fifties.
It's quite embarrassing for a man in his early fifties to talk about his Pops so much in public.
However, looking at this seemingly ordinary old man in front of him, Ace was actually a little curious as to why Bai Yu would take a liking to him.
"Hey, old man, now it's just the three of us betting. I'm the dealer now, and I'm betting all the money on your table. You can't leave halfway through."
The Bear King spoke first.
Mushul, standing to the side, Fujitora Issho, a hint of greed in his eyes.
After all, in the previous elimination rounds, this blind man had correctly predicted multiple rounds in a row, and the Beli on the table had already reached tens of millions of Beli.
This is roughly equivalent to the bounty on both of them; placed in this location, it's a huge fortune, and no one would want to let it go.
What's more, the old man in front of him is blind.
"Hehe, no problem, I'm just looking for some fun. Let's begin."
Fujitora Issho and began to wait.
The Bear King and Mushul exchanged a glance and immediately reached a consensus.
"Then I'll start rolling the dice."
The Bear King grabbed the dice and shook them rapidly inside the dice cup.
He stopped when his hand landed on the table again, and said with a smile.
"Come on, guess the number inside. If you win, the payout is 3:1; if you bet on the correct number, the payout is 10:1."
All eyes immediately fell on Fujitora Issho.
After all, they had clearly witnessed Fujitora Issho's strength in the elimination rounds just now.
He was indeed blind, but it was only because he made a series of correct bets that he was able to stay until the end.
Upon hearing this, Fujitora Issho did not immediately give an answer. After listening for a while, he finally spoke calmly.
"I'm betting on three sixes, ten million Beli!"
