Chapter 177: Dogs can't be housed
Crocodile walked down from his office. He who holds the title of King Shichibukai actually opened an entertainment city here openly. It is just an entertainment city. The main focus is entertainment services, not his name.
Therefore, although Crocodile did not hide, he did not publicize it widely. Many people knew that he was the King of the Shichibukai, and many people thought that he was just a taller and rich man.
Walking downstairs, he came to the place where his subordinates said the female rear admiral was causing trouble. From a distance, he saw Skyler, sitting at a gambling table with food in front of him and no chips.
Skyler never participates in this kind of gambling, because there is no sense of "progress" in gambling, and the risk is high. Skyler will not throw his money into such an unsafe place.
There were three reasons why she sat at the gaming table. The first reason was very simple, that is, it was close to the buffet. If she finished eating, she could go there and replenish her food at any time.
Although she had eaten all the barbecue, there were still a lot of fruits, drinks, and desserts.
The second reason is to train her own knowledge and knowledge. In her perception of knowledge and color, she discovered that among the dealer's ten hands, one or two would change the cards, and at the same time cooperate with one of the "own people".
However, the skill of changing cards is quite poor, simply because there are four decks of cards, shuffled together, even if "one of our own" draws the highest card, it doesn't matter even if it is repeated, no one will doubt it.
However, once the cards are changed, the dealer will take away all the cards on the table in the next round and directly replace the four decks of cards in the shuffler. Compared with the movies Skyler watched in his previous life, this technique is simply
inferior.
The third reason, and the reason why Skyler can sit here with great interest, is that...she likes to watch these gambling dogs lose everything, which is more beautiful than any opera.
When Crocodile saw that it was really Skyler who was "making trouble", he stood there and took deep breaths while thinking about whether he was not cautious enough in some way.
A minute later, Crocodile came up with the answer, that is, it was a complete coincidence that Skyler came here.
Crocodile strode forward and was about to call Skyler, but for a moment, he paused, then smiled, walked up to Skyler, and asked: "Ms., do you need help?
?"
"Well, give me another fruit punch."
At this time, Skyler was all focused on the gambling table, and his mind was also focused, but he didn't hear the person's voice being familiar.
The reason she was so focused was because...there was another gambling dog that was going to ruin everything!
Skyler answered casually and handed his empty cup back without looking away. Crocodile looked at the cup handed over by Skyler and was stunned for a second.
But he still took the cup and went to the bar to ask for a fruit punch, which was a non-alcoholic cocktail... Crocodile looked disdainful, but still took the fruit punch and walked back.
Coincidentally, at this time, the dealer turned over the hole card of "his own person" and said: "Heart, 8 to Queen, win."
"One of our own" showed a victorious smile, and Skyler, the gambling dog who had been paying attention, slammed the table and shouted: "Gan!"
Skyler clapped his hands and said happily: "Well done!"
The gambling dog who had lost all his money glared at Skyler, but when he saw the justice cloak that Skyler was wearing and the epaulettes that represented the major general of the headquarters, he suddenly became weak.
Crocodile, who was holding a fruit punch in one hand, saw this scene and couldn't help but hit his forehead with the curve of the golden hook. This bad little girl still had such a bad character. How come she wasn't hammered to death?
?
But after thinking about it, Crocodile returned to Skyler, put the fruit punch in Skyler's hand, and said: "Madam, please enjoy your fruit punch."
Skyler nodded perfunctorily, but he felt that the waiter behind him was very ignorant and actually stood behind him. Couldn't he see that he didn't have a single chip? He still wanted a tip?
"Let's see who can outlast whom!"
Skyler sneered in her heart. There was no way she could pay for this. You have to know that the minimum denomination of chips in this entertainment city is one thousand Baileys. Because when you bring a glass of fruit punch, you have to give the waiter one thousand Baileys? Don't even think about it.
think!
But Skyler ignored it, and the others gradually became quiet, especially the dealer, who did not dare to deal the cards. He recognized his boss. At this time, Crocodile's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
The croupier swallowed and looked at Skyler with pleading eyes. The croupier had heard from the manager that the boss was a big pirate before he ran this entertainment city.
The croupier didn't want to offend his boss or see his boss lose his temper, but he could clearly see that what made his boss dissatisfied was the rear admiral who still held the position after coming over with no chips.
Skyler noticed the change in the atmosphere and saw the pitiful look in the dealer's eyes, but she did not feel that the dealer's look was pitiful. After all, when he changed the cards, it was a joy to do so.
However, Skyler was also dissatisfied with being stared at. She frowned and looked back. The moment she saw the unhappy Crocodile, Skyler raised her eyebrows and simply said:
"Long time no see. Are you here to make a fortune?"
"It's just to support the family, but you... have a prosperous official career!"
Crocodile used a sarcastic tone. Neither he nor Skyler felt anything wrong. After all, this was how they chatted before, but the people around the gambling table did not dare to say anything at this time.
After all...a big pirate was talking to a rear admiral of the navy headquarters in a mocking tone.
Skyler also showed a disdainful smile, and the swivel chair under her body turned. Then she raised her chin, gestured in the direction of the food bar, and said:
"If you can't make your customers happy in business, you can only support your family. I've been waiting for more than 20 minutes, and the new barbecue hasn't been served yet. Your service here is really bad!"
Hearing this, Crocodile showed a dangerous smile. The remaining hand was wrapped around the golden hook that replaced the other hand, like a crocodile that was lurking but was about to start a killing spree.
The people around him had even stopped breathing at this time. Not to mention gasping for breath, they didn't even dare to replenish oxygen. Crocodile, who was full of murderous aura, said viciously to Skyler, who had a look of disdain on his face:
"Okay! I want you to see how I treat my guests! Come to the kitchen, and I will grill you the meat myself!"
"good!"
Skyler stood up and Crocodile led the way. The two of them walked towards the back kitchen of the entertainment city, leaving only a group of staff and gambling dogs who had just been frightened to the point of weakness.
Watching Crocodile and Skyler's backs gradually leaving, they felt the absurdity of this world.
In the situation you just had, how can you not have a life-and-death duel?! What the hell is barbecuing in person?!
Crocodile kicked open the door of the back kitchen, and the chefs who were busy at first stopped. The head chef, who was about to get angry, was as quiet as a frightened quail when he saw Crocodile.
"Everyone, leave the tools and ingredients with the labor and management! Then go on vacation!"
Crocodile roared angrily, and the head chef quickly ran away with the chefs. Crocodile swung his arm, and the fur coat fell, and was caught by his golden hook, and finally swung it towards the locker next to the door.
Then he picked up a chef's robe, put it on, put the cigar in his mouth on the food preparation table, washed his hands and gold hooks on the sink, and then skillfully skewered meat, grilled meat, and applied sauce.
Controlling a dozen barbecue picks at the same time, when the first batch was completed, Crocodile turned his head and said to Skyler fiercely:
Chapter completed!
