Chapter 153 Crocodile

"What a money-grubbing brat!"

Garp let out a laugh.

"However, this has nothing to do with me! I just need to pay attention to your actions."

"Lieutenant General Garp!"

Smoker stood up and shouted.

In his eyes, a strong sense of justice was burning.

The secretly established criminal organization Baroque Working Society, and the hidden plan to steal the country.

If Crocodile is really hiding such darkness as Rhodes said, then even if he is the Shichibukai, Smoker vows to arrest him no matter what!

The truth of the matter can only be discerned by his own eyes.

"Let's act together, boy Rhodes!"

···

rainy land

This was originally just an ordinary oasis city.

However, since Crocodile arrived, the Rainland has become more and more prosperous.

Under the control and intimidation of the Shichibukai, no pirates dared to cause trouble here.

Even if there are some stupid people, they will be easily solved by Crocodile.

Crocodile is like a patron saint guarding this oasis city, and people in the city also call him a 'hero'!

In the center of the rainland, there is a tall building. On the roof of the building is the shape of a huge crocodile. That is the casino [Rain Feast] run by Crocodile!

Yuyan Casino is located in the middle of a lake, which can be said to be very luxurious in a desert where water is scarce.

"Very good, this time I'm going to kill everyone!!"

Nia looked at the casino in front of her with high emotions.

She held Baccarat tightly with one hand.

With Baccarat here, this time she will be the real God of Gamblers!

Baccarat covered her mouth and chuckled.

"I'm going shopping!"

Minina raised her little hand.

Rather than visiting the casino, she wanted to go around and see if there were any special ingredients here.

After all, it is a desert country. Compared with other places, it should have its own unique food culture.

"I'll come with you."

Robin was carrying his small backpack.

In this country with a long history, there may be some old objects that have been passed down to this day, from which we can get a glimpse of the fragments of history.

"Dad, can I go to the casino?"

Bonnie raised her head and looked at the big bear.

"How about we go shopping with Sister Minina and Sister Robin."

Big Bear waved his hand, squatted down and spoke to Bonnie in a gentle voice.

Bonnie was only 6 years old. It was already very bad to follow him, a pirate, wandering on the sea, let alone enter a casino.

"All right."

Bonnie looked at the magnificent casino over there.

She also wanted to experience what fun there was there.

"I'll join them too."

Luo and Bebo stood beside Bonnie.

Although Bonnie has been initially cured, it would be better for him, the doctor, to keep an eye on her.

"I'll take Sissi for a walk myself."

Genos had a cigarette in his mouth.

He didn't have much interest in casinos. On the contrary, he was very interested in the exotic customs of this city. It was quite pleasant to take Sissi for a walk around the city.

"Yohohoho~ Just follow Captain Rhodes."

Brooke stood behind Rod like a gentleman, his cane hanging on his arm.

He is indeed a gentleman when it comes to not seeing women and asking for their panties.

"Very well, let's set off!"

The group of people was divided into three groups. Genos took Sissi to wander around the town. Minina and the others headed towards the trading area to the west, while the rest headed directly towards the center of the rainland. [Rain Feast] Let’s go.

"Do you have any money, Smoker?"

Garp followed Rhodes and the others and suddenly asked Smoker.

"Only 50,000 beli."

Smoker was stunned for a moment, then answered.

"We will place bets with the two women later."

Garp looked at Nia who was in high spirits in front of him.

···

Yuyan, in the underground office.

"Baquan Rhodes?"

Crocodile heard the report from his subordinates, turned around from behind the boss's chair, took out a cigar, cut it, and lit it slowly.

"What's that newcomer doing here?"

"I don't know, we just saw a group of them appear in the rainy land."

The subordinate bent down to report the situation to Crocodile.

However, Crocodile did not expect any reply from these subordinates.

These people in the casino are just subordinates he recruited at will, and they have no value at all.

The ones who are really useful among his subordinates are the senior agents of Baroque Works.

However, the staff has not been recruited yet.

"However, Nia, the catwoman in their group, was clamoring to come to the casino and kill everyone. People on the street heard it."

"Kill everyone?"

Crocodile thought of some rumors and his face was slightly gloomy.

About half a year ago, when Rhodes and his team were in Lavis, they had a conflict with Tezolo, and in the end they seemed to extort a large sum of money from Tezolo.

Moreover, he also snatched someone away from Tezzolo, a woman who was very good at gambling!

This kid, doesn't he want to come to my place to win money?

Although he didn't pay much attention to money, Crocodile felt an unknown fire in his heart when he thought that the kid didn't care about him at all.

Looks like I need to teach that kid some rules!

But it doesn't mean that he can be on an equal footing with him by becoming a Shichibukai.

There is also a big gap between the Shichibukai and the Shichibukai!

"besides."

The subordinate suddenly spoke again to add.

"Two marines are also following them, and one of them seems to be a naval hero - Garp!"

"Garp!?"

Crocodile paused slightly.

As a naval hero who once chased Roger the Pirate King around the world, Garp's name is still full of intimidation.

Even a conceited person like Crocodile couldn't help but feel slightly frightened after hearing the other party's name.

"Interesting, it looks like I have to meet them in person."

Crocodile stood up. Even though he was in the hot desert, he was still wearing a thick cashmere coat.

···

On the ground, in the lobby of the casino.

"Come again!!"

Nia looked at the gaming table in front of her with excitement.

With Baccarat's abilities, they were literally picking up money.

No matter how you buy, you win!

The dealer on the other side has changed five times in a row, and now the one who just came here a while ago is pale and sweaty, and he looks like he is about to die.

"God of Gamblers!!"

"What an amazing little girl!"

"How to buy the next one! Let's follow you!"

“···”

The gamblers around them stared at Nia and Baccarat with red eyes, but did not dare to get too close, as if there was an invisible barrier around them, isolating these gamblers.

These two women are like possessed by the God of Gamblers, they can win every move.

I just don’t know why, but gamblers who are close to them will have some unexpected situations, whether they have nosebleeds, sudden flashes to their waists, or stomachaches and they need to go to the toilet in a hurry.

It made these gamblers afraid to approach them.

"How can I buy this one?"

Nia turned to look at Baccarat, only to see him shaking his head at her.

The 'lucky energy' previously reserved has been almost exhausted, and the gamblers dare not approach them, leaving Bacara with no chance to continue to absorb 'lucky'. If she continues to win, she will have to overdraw her own luck. .

"All right."

Seeing Baccarat's actions, Nia calmed down a little.

She originally just wanted to experience the feeling of killing everyone as the god of gambling, and she didn't have much pursuit of how much money she could win.

"Forget it, no more playing."

"What's wrong? Did we not provide good hospitality?"

A low voice suddenly came, and the croupier behind the gaming table breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the visitor respectfully.

"Mr. Crocodile!"

The crowd made way for Crocodile to walk through. Even the gamblers with red eyes looked at Crocodile with admiration.

The other party is the hero of this country, and even more so the hero of this city!

It was precisely because of the protection of the other party that Rainland was able to achieve such great development in a short period of time and quickly became a wealthy city that could be counted among the entire Alabasta.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Crocodile looked at the group of people on the opposite side and let out a trademark four-part gasping laugh.

"The new Shichibukai came to my place with the naval heroes. How could I not let you have enough fun!"

Crocodile blew out a big puff of smoke and looked at the people opposite.

"Come to the VIP room, it would be too rude to let you play here."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Rhodes glanced at Crocodile opposite, and his eyes moved around his left hand.

Crocodile's left hand was broken many years ago, and a golden hook was installed in it.

I don’t know if [Knights Don’t Die with Unarmed] can work on his golden hook?

Thoughts flashed through Rhode's mind.

The last time he was in the small garden, he deeply regretted not being able to remove Zefa's prosthetic leg. He wondered if Crocodile could allow him to make up for it a little this time.

"Hahahaha, let me tell you first, I don't have any money!"

Garp pressed his nose, stuffed the chips he had just won following Baccarat into his arms, and said without changing his face.

"I'll give you 30 million."

Crocodile glanced at Garp.

The existence of this old guy made him feel a little uneasy.

As a naval hero, he would not sit back and watch the internal fighting among the Shichibukai.

It would be really troublesome if the other party stopped him from dealing with Rhodes.

Crocodile turned around and led a group of them towards the VIP room. Before he came over, he had already ordered his men to clean up there.

But wasn't Nico Robin with him?

Crocodile just glanced at Rhodes and his party, but did not see Nico Robin.

But that’s fine too.

Crocodile thought of the members of the Baroque Working Society whom he had contacted on the phone before.
