Pirate: Eternal

Chapter 60 Goal, Under the King 7 Wuhai

Ace and the Straw Hats went to sea. They first went to Fish-Man Island to find a fish-man named Jinbei and asked him to help them sail in the windless zone. Then they entered the Gate of Justice from the bottom of the sea and reached Impel Down City.

Vlad had some uneasy conscience at first about trapping them into Impel Down, but he soon convinced himself that his heart was calm.

In fact, Ace and Luffy were going to Impel Down sooner or later after seeing the newspaper. He just told the news in advance.

Vlad didn't lie to Ace. That was indeed what was written in the newspaper. He just concealed the fact that Sabo had been rescued by Drago.

He also had to hide it or it would be revealed that he had joined the Navy and became an undercover agent.

Vlad could still swear on his own conscience that he had never lied to anyone, but only half-hidden what he said.

It wasn't until they watched the Golden Meri disappear on the horizon that Vlad, his gang, and Vivi set off on the Running Duck to the rainy land.

Weiwei's original plan was to go to the trading center in western Alabasta, the former oasis 'Yuba', to find Kosa, the leader of the rebel army who was forced to turn against him due to Crocodile's conspiracy.

The biggest crisis in Alabasta this time is the rebel army, and the leader of the rebel army, Kousha, and Weiwei are childhood sweethearts. Weiwei believes that the war can be ended by persuading Kousha.

Vlad didn't hold out any hope for this, not to mention that the current oasis 'Yuba' had been turned into a dry desert by Crocodile, and the main rebel leader Kosa was not there either.

And the most important thing is that this is not something that can be solved by persuading Kousha. Even if Kousha switches sides and helps Weiwei now, he cannot change this war.

The higher a person occupies a high position, the easier it is for people below him to move forward.

Because what you represent is not your own interests alone, but the interests of a group of people below.

Only when you can benefit everyone will they love and support you. When you cannot bring benefits to everyone, you can only lead them to destruction.

If they don't pay attention to you, it's considered a return to old friendship. Those who don't care about friendship may even kill you and replace you with a leader who can benefit them.

Human nature is like this.

Vlad has always used the greatest malice to speculate on human nature, because he believes that human nature is inherently evil.

So when he looks for partners, he always looks for guys who don't look normal. Only these crazy guys won't betray him for boring interests.

Vlad's idea was simple. He only needed to deal with Crocodile and then use powerful material resources to suppress the rebels.

If you want people to respect you, you must make people fear you.

Of course, he couldn't be a good person and work for Weiweibai. He was interested in the position of King Crocodile's Shichibukai.

Vlad didn't want to follow Crocodile's example of secretly controlling Alabasta and then seeking to obtain the ancient weapon Hades. After all, none of them could read ancient texts.

The ready-made historian Nicole Robin was right in Alabasta. Vlad didn't think he had the charm to conquer this woman who armed her heart like a hedgehog.

Besides, as long as Vegapunk is found, wouldn't the genetic weapons created be more fragrant than Pluto?

The most important thing about the identity of the King Shichibukai is that he can go to Impel Down City openly, and Baloric Redfield, who knows the whereabouts of the animal type, bat fruit, phantom beast species, and vampire form devil fruit, is at Impel Down City level 6.

Judging from the known intelligence and Paine's lecherous performance, Vlad discovered that animal devil fruits have a great impact on the personality of the esper.

There are devil souls in animal devil fruits. Currently, the only devil fruits that can be eaten by dead animals are animal devil fruits.

A dead creature that eats an animal-type Devil Fruit has its own consciousness and emotions, no different from a real flesh-and-blood creature.

If a creature eats an animal-type Devil Fruit, and the creature's original personality happens to be in conflict with the devil, its final character will be dominated by the one with stronger willpower.

In this case, let alone saying that the bonus to strength can be one plus one is greater than two, it is very good if it can be equal to two.

Of course, creatures that eat animal-type Devil Fruits can actually complement each other. If the original personality of the esper matches the Devil Fruit, the stronger the power they can exert.

The perverted penguin Paine had very good control over the fruit's abilities, and Vlad had to suspect that this guy was originally a perverted leader.

Vlad believed that his personality matched that of a vampire. After all, the prototype of the vampire in fantasy legends was Vlad the Impaler.

And he is now Vlad the Impaler!

next night

the rain

Luxurious crystal chandeliers hang high, and the decoration style is luxurious in the Yuyan Casino.

"One hundred million beli, I bet on the black number 14!"

At a table similar to Russian roulette, a tall, handsome man who won from [-] beli to [-] million beli tossed out all his chips.

As the chips were placed, the crowd of onlookers screamed, and the beautiful women in cool clothes felt the spring tide and their hearts beat wildly.

"This this......"

The croupier's legs in a small vest were shaking even more, and he hesitated for a long time, not daring to admit his bet.

The man in front of him has been winning ever since he threw down a chip of [-] beli, and the chips have accumulated higher and higher with the number of wins, until now he is [-] million beli.

They had suspected that the man was being a ploy, and asked a group of security guards to search him. However, before they even got close to the man, more than 20 security guards with bulging muscles fainted and fell to the ground unconscious for no apparent reason.

"Please wait a moment, this needs to be chaired by a supervisor."

The dealer wiped his sweat and pretended to be calm.

The handsome man lit the cigarette, took a puff and said, "The customer is God. How dare you let God wait for you?"

The croupier's hands under the table clenched into fists. He really couldn't stand this man's arrogance.

Do you know who is the boss behind their Yuyan Casino? !

His Majesty the Shichibukai, the hero of the Kingdom of Alabasta, Shah Crocodile!

Ta-ta-ta-

At this moment, the sound of high-heeled feet tapping on the marble floor was heard, and a tall woman wearing a long white trench coat walked over.

Seeing the woman, the croupier breathed a sigh of relief, stepped aside and introduced: "This is our supervisor, and the supervisor will be the dealer next."

Looking at the woman standing in front of him instead of the dealer, the handsome man looked carefully and nodded with a smile.

Under the open windbreaker, there are turbulent waves that cannot be covered by a bra. Under the slim waist, there are short shorts that reach the thighs. Her straight and slender legs are wearing a pair of high-heeled boots.

Except for his darker skin color, everything else was just Vlad's aesthetic point of view.
