Chapter 117 Underground Casino
Having failed to acquire the Fishman talent from Fishman Willy, which Fishman pirate should they seek out next?
Jinbe?
Distance is not a problem; she can go to a new world.
Putting aside his strength, Doraemon is a kind and honest person, and it's hard to bear hurting him.
Whitebeard and Kaido's fishmen are not being considered for the time being.
Which other fish-men are pirates who are also easy to bully...?
Suddenly, Yelena's eyes lit up.
I almost forgot, aren't there fishmen with bounties on their heads in the East Blue?
Ah Long.
Fishman Willie is known as Arlong's mortal enemy. Now that his rival is dead, it would be a bit inappropriate not to send Arlong to join him.
It seems necessary to make a trip to the East China Sea.
"Let's find a hotel to stay in first, and check out the underground casino that the agent mentioned tomorrow."
Today is the last day of the month, and the number of times she can use her items this month has been used up. Even if she goes out to find pirates, she won't get much benefit. Yelena plans to rest for the night and recharge her energy before making any further moves.
The next morning, the group bypassed the central street and came to a secluded alley.
There is a tavern at the end of the road.
There weren't many people in the store. Yelena walked straight to the bar, put two coins on the table, and pointed to the small door on the side.
The bartender's eyes flashed with understanding, and he led the group inside.
Inside was an empty storeroom. In the center of the opposite rock wall was a locked door. The bartender took out a key, opened the door, and handed over an oil lamp.
"Keep walking straight through the tunnel, and your destination will be in about a kilometer."
As we passed through the dark tunnel, a sudden burst of light opened up our view, and the cacophony of noise reached our ears clearly.
This is a huge cavity, and its location appears to be inside the mountain in the center of the island.
The cavern was constructed in a circular, stepped shape, with dozens of steps, each level reaching over ten meters in height, containing countless rooms, almost all of which were filled with people.
Yelena roughly estimated that the entire cavern could hold no less than five thousand pirates.
Mr. 9 and Miss. looked at each other on Monday, their eyes filled with amazement and admiration.
So many people have gathered to deal with their boss, not even including the pirates who are on their way.
Once all one hundred pirate crews invited by the casino owner have arrived, the number of people will probably double.
Vivi walked to the railing on this level and looked down at the bottom of the hole: "Look! Even the giants are here!"
Two giants were drinking while leaning against the first step of the stairs.
Yelena looked away; ordinary giants held no appeal for her... Speaking of giants, there were two giant leaders on Little Garden Island!
Their strength is extraordinary!
If we could gain the power of both of them, this attribute's value would probably reach the top.
The fervor in her eyes flashed by, and Yelena pinched her palm to calm herself down.
The most important thing now is the upcoming "death game." We'll figure out how to get the giant leader's blood later.
After going up and down several steps, the group finally found an empty table. Before they could go over, a young man quickly pulled out a chair and sat down at the table.
"If you don't mind, you can share a table."
The man wore a black wide-brimmed hat, had short, light brown, slightly wavy hair, and a striking hook tattoo on his left cheek; his face was cold and aloof.
"Who the hell are you?" Mr. 9 walked over with an annoyed look on his face and reached out to grab his collar.
The man moved to the side, easily dodging the attack.
Mr. 9 paused for a moment, "You reacted pretty quickly."
Yelena and the others walked over, each finding a chair to sit down. Mr. 9 glared at the man and then sat down as well.
The man lowered the brim of his hat, his voice also becoming softer, "As a bounty hunter, being so high-profile isn't a good idea."
Surprise flashed in their eyes. "Captain" Icarus spoke up, "What bounty hunters? We are real pirates."
The man shook his head slightly. "You may be able to fool those pirates, but you can't fool me. As someone in the same line of work, I can see through your characteristics at a glance."
His gaze swept across the faces of the group, finally settling between Mr. 9 and Miss. Monday.
These two have been in the business the longest, and their bounty hunter aura is practically ingrained in them.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Sholaiya Bascude. As fellow professionals, you should have heard of me."
The group looked bewildered.
Xiao Leya's expression was somewhat incredulous. "You haven't heard of the name 'Pirate Executioner'?"
Yelena, who had the lowest profile at the event, quietly raised her hand, saying, "Generally speaking, the more exaggerated the nickname, the weaker the ability."
Most of the nicknames of the world's masters are very simple, such as Iron Fist, Red Hair, White Beard, which immediately suggest that they are top-notch experts.
If you call yourself something like "Shadow Reaper" or "Hell Demon God," people will laugh their heads off.
Pirate executioner? How many pirates can you kill?
Xiao Leya's face showed a moment of defeat, but she quickly rallied. "Do you want to join forces with me?"
join forces?
Yelena became somewhat interested; she recognized the man opposite her as a bounty hunter who had a grudge against General Gaspard.
The other side should have information about Gaspard.
This is exactly what she wanted.
The island's elder had not found the pirate's hideout. She did not want to kill him in the cave, as that would alert other pirates. She also had the idea of secretly following him to find his lair.
"I overheard Gaspard talking to the casino owner, and they seemed to be plotting a scheme and making a lot of money off it."
"If you help me take down that guy, all those Pele and his treasure are yours!"
Icarum shook his head and said, "Gaspard is a great pirate with a bounty of 95 million; we can't beat him."
"He's left me to deal with. Just help me hold off his men," Xiao Leya said anxiously.
"He and the casino owner are about to leave this island. If we wait a few more days, we probably won't be able to find them anymore. This island is full of pirates. I've only found a few hunters like you. For the sake of our profession and for Bailey's sake, could you please help us out?"
Upon hearing this, Yelena's eyes lit up with understanding. It turned out that the organizers of the "Death Game" wanted to make a quick buck and run away amidst the chaos.
Whether it's the hundred invited pirate crews or the black-robed hunters, the outcome of the battle is irrelevant to them. By the time the battle is decided, they will have already left the island.
Vivi asked doubtfully, "How can you be sure we can stop those pirates?"
Xiao Laiya's gaze lingered on the sword at her waist. "If I'm not mistaken, this is the 'Hanazumi,' one of the fifty finest swords. To be able to wear such a renowned sword, one must possess considerable skill."
Yelena raised an eyebrow. Who says famous swords are only for the strong? There are also people who aren't that strong.
"We agree," she decided immediately. "Now tell us the casino owner's location; I want to place my bet."
