Chapter 995: Golden Gamble

Kuro sighed in a helpless manner and said to Aji, "Okay, Aji, since Mr. Tanaka is so happy here, we won't force him to join us." Then, he turned to look at Mr. Tanaka with a look of regret on his face, "What a pity, I was thinking of giving you a position as a squad leader, but now it seems that I was being too sentimental."

When Mr. Tanaka heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "You want to invite me to join your pirate group?" He obviously did not expect Kuro to make such a proposal.

Kuro nodded and said seriously, "That's exactly what I was thinking just now, but it's a pity that you are not interested. I don't force others to do anything, so forget it since you are not interested."

However, Mr. Tanaka hurriedly said, "No! I'm interested!"

His eyes revealed his longing for life in a pirate group and his admiration for Kuro.

Kuro looked at Mr. Tanaka's face full of expectation and determination, and his doubts instantly disappeared. He smiled and nodded, expressing his appreciation for Mr. Tanaka's answer.

"I remember you just said that you are very happy living here." Kuro confirmed again, his eyes revealing his concern for Mr. Tanaka's true feelings.

Mr. Tanaka answered cheerfully, "Hey! Captain, please don't say such hurtful words. I was indeed very happy living here 1 minute ago, but I will be even happier if I join the pirate group 1 minute later. Because I know that following a captain like you, I will experience more exciting adventures and more happiness that I have never experienced before."

After hearing this, Kuro felt a warm feeling in his heart. This bastard is really good at bluffing!

"Will this not put you in a difficult position?" Kuro asked again.

Mr. Tanaka shook his head firmly and said, "Of course not. This is entirely my own choice. Joining your pirate group gives me more motivation to fight! I look forward to leaving our footprints on the sea with you and your companions."

After hearing this, Kuro nodded with satisfaction.

"Then it's settled."

"That's a deal!"

Mr. Tanaka's tone was extremely firm. Seeing that he was so sensible, Er nodded with satisfaction, then sheathed the Fengshan in his hand.

Mr. Tanaka breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the knife that had just been held against his neck was put away.

"Since you have become a member of my ship, I have to tell you the rules of my ship!"

Kuro said with a serious expression.

"I'm listening."

"There is only one rule on my ship, and that is that people who are on board are never allowed to get off. If anyone dares to betray the pirate group in secret, I will let him know what it means to live a life worse than death."

Kuro said as he grasped the protrusion on the chair with his right hand, and then with a light grab, the gold-cast protrusion was crushed into gold foil.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mr. Tanaka instantly became obedient and submissive, as if all the bones in his body put together were not as hard as that piece of yellow gold.

Kuro was in a particularly good mood after easily conquering a crew member who satisfied him. He waved his hand and said with a generous smile: "Today is not a good time for us to drink the Juyi wine. When we set off, we will return to the ship and have a good drink!"

"Okay!" everyone responded in unison.

At this moment, everyone in the room had different expressions, some looked happy, some were thoughtful, but deep down in their hearts, everyone was excited about the addition of a new member to the pirate group.

"Beep, beep!" A series of rapid knocks on the door suddenly broke the brief silence in the house.

"What happened?" Mr. Tanaka stood up in panic like a frightened bird, walked quickly towards the door, and asked loudly.

"Mr. Tanaka, the boss sincerely invites everyone in the room to go to the casino for some entertainment." A deep voice came from outside the door.

"Casino?" Kuro looked at Mr. Tanaka with interest, curiosity gleaming in his eyes.

Mr. Tanaka looked a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Kuro couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and the strong curiosity in his heart surged more and more uncontrollably.

In the entire casino, he only remembered that abnormal masochistic big man. That guy's behavior was truly shocking.

But now, with the addition of Bakara, the casino is even more powerful!

"Oh? A casino? Sounds interesting." Kuro's lips curled up with a playful smile. He wanted to see what was so special about this casino.

Mr. Tanaka saw this and added hastily, "Captain, I'm not saying that casinos are bad, it's just that there... it's really easy to get addicted, and you lose more than you win. Many people go in with hope, but end up leaving disappointed."

Kuro waved his hand, signaling Mr. Tanaka not to be too nervous. "Don't worry, I'm just going to see it for myself. I won't do anything rash."

At this time, the waiter outside the door urged again: "Please go as soon as possible, the boss has been waiting in the casino for a long time."

Kuro stood up, straightened his clothes, and said to everyone, "Let's go and see what the charm of this casino is."

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and followed Kuro out of the room.

Outside the door, the waiter led them through a long corridor to the entrance of the casino.

The casino was brightly lit and bustling with people. There were all kinds of gambling games, and people were either excited or nervous to participate in them.

Kuro glanced around and saw the masochistic man, whose face was twisted as he enjoyed some kind of pain.

"It seems that this is indeed an interesting place." Kuro said to himself, and then led everyone in.

In the following time, Kuro and everyone else experienced various gambling games together.

Although they also won some money, they felt more of the excitement and tension brought by gambling.

Kuro is well aware of the dangers of gambling, so he does not indulge in it.

However, as they were about to leave, Bakara showed up.

She smiled at Kuro, as if she had seen through his thoughts. "My handsome pirate captain, would you like to play another game? I promise you will have a different experience."

Kuro looked at Bakara's seductive eyes and couldn't help but be moved. But he still shook his head and said with a smile: "No, Miss Bakara. We have more important things to do today. Come again next time."

Bakara didn't force him to do so, but just smiled and nodded. "You are welcome to come back anytime. But remember to be careful."
