One Piece: Starting to read the file from the dragon-footed man

Chapter 5
*
"According to the results of the investigation, 'platinum lead disease' is a virus that spreads and parasitizes in the human body due to excessive mining of a mineral called 'platinum lead'. The virus has a long incubation period, but once it breaks out, The skin and hair will gradually turn white, accompanied by severe pain all over the body."

At this time, in the quiet meeting room of the Revolutionary Army headquarters, Sabo was standing at the end of the long table, while seriously working on the report on the 'platinum lead disease' in the country of Frevans, while asking Kerla to help distribute With those pre-printed materials.

"And the most troubling thing is that although this virus does not spread from person to person, people infected with this virus will be accompanied by severe pain and high fever when they get sick, shortening their life span at the same time, and continue to pass on to the next generation.”

"Currently, there is only 'Trafalgar Law' left among the survivors of the Frevance country, and according to the latest information, he is the owner of the fruit of the operation, so I reasonably deduce that this may be this person' Platinum-lead disease' cure."

Sabo held chalk and listed information about the virus on the blackboard.

"The above is the latest information about the 'platinum lead disease'. This concludes my report. What do you think now?"

"'Platinum lead disease' ah..." Someone sighed, "That is really a disaster."

"Has this disease been around for a long time?" Long asked lightly, "Is there a specific treatment plan?"

"...No. In fact, after the 'White Town' was completely wiped out, no doctor ever studied a cure for 'Platinum Lead Disease'."

Sabola lowered the brim of her hat and took a deep breath, "The country of Frevans was completely abandoned by the world government after the royal families left. Is it powerless to say, or should I say out of sight... It's really in line with the style of those scumbags."

"That is to say... Even if the concealment of the 'platinum lead disease' by the royal family and nobles is the root cause of all tragedies, if there is no cure for the 'platinum lead disease', the people of Frevans will still welcome The end of subjugation?"

Kerla's face was pale, she covered her mouth, looked at Li Guanqi who was running around for supplies in the video, and couldn't bear to look away, "Doesn't this mean that Miss Li Guanqi's actions are useless? Too Cruel! This is simply... a rescue with no hope in sight!"

There was a wordless silence, and the eyes of everyone present were filled with pain and unbearable.

Facing the doomed cruel ending, no one spoke, so the long silence was as heavy as a mountain of grief.

The revolutionary soldiers here are unwilling to admit it, but they cannot deny the hopeless future on the screen.

Grief and failure seem to be a given.

They couldn't bear it, so they tried not to look at Li Guanqi who was struggling hard on the screen, but they were unwilling, so they couldn't take their eyes off Li Guanqi.

Since the Revolutionary Army, they have been fighting against the darkness of this world for the "liberation of the people".

With everyone's joint efforts, their strength is constantly becoming stronger, and like-minded partners are constantly increasing. Although failures and obstacles exist, they are also constantly decreasing. The "CP organization" can also be said to be able to retreat without falling behind.

But now, when these long-gone tragedies are placed before the eyes of the public again, they find that they are still too small in front of this vast sea area, so that they can't stop every tragedy even if they try their best. happened.

But... Is there really no hope?

*
After mastering all the information he needed so far, Li Guanqi went to the temporary foothold according to the address given by [World Consciousness] on the back of the map——

It looks like a delicate and beautiful two-story building on the outside, but the inside is actually a large warehouse that is so clean that there is not even a single cockroach.

Standing at the door, Li Guanqi was dumbfounded.

Even though she has wandered around 'X Bo Hot Search' for more than ten years, she has never seen such a charming and stylish stingy way.

Fuck, it's really an empty house with nothing...

How about world awareness?Grandet's reincarnation wouldn't be like this, would it? !
Li Guanqi was so irritable that he wanted to tear down the house every minute.

But because of poverty, she quickly calmed down again.

Because she knew that this damn house was her only asset at present, no matter how small a mosquito was, it would be meat, and if it was demolished, it would be truly penniless.

Li Guanqi is suffering from headache and liver pain now, but seeing that there are still several hours before dark, she calms down, is she not going to waste time in this 'warehouse' with nothing.

So after counting the funds on his body, he closed the door and the lock, turned around and walked down the street.

Alas, there is no way...

After all, if you are poor, you have to make money!

*
"Hahahaha, you are indeed a pariah! What a shame, hahahaha!"

Seeing this, the nobles laughed, as if they had anticipated Li Guanqi's sad future.

They even happily opened a few bottles of expensive wine, sat comfortably on the sofa, and looked forward to the next content on the screen.

"I thought it was amazing, but it turned out to be a penniless pauper! Hahahahaha!"

"It's bad luck, hahahahaha! No power, no power, no money! It's the worst start hahahaha!"

*
The aristocrats outside the screen laughed wildly, while Li Guanqi on the screen squatted on the curb and continued to brainstorm for money.

Whether it is the worst start is still unknown, but it is definitely the worst starting capital anyway.

Fortunately, the methods of making money are all written in the criminal law.

Li Guanqi swears that she is definitely a good citizen who abides by the law, but once she travels through time, her three views will be ruined.

What's more, this world is not that world, this country is not that country, and this law is not that law.

So in the face of this situation, Li Guanqi felt that it was time for him to exercise his moral initiative.

Although it's not very good to say that, from now on, she is no longer Li Guanqi, but Niu Colu's Zhang San!

So, the camera made a quick transition, and Li Guanqi, who was squatting on the curb worrying about money one second, appeared in the largest underground casino in Frevans in the next second.

Hmm... In terms of morality, it can be said to be quite flexible.

*
Everyone in front of the screen: "..."

There was an eerie silence and silence, and then, rows of question marks occupied everyone's brains, so that they were stunned for a moment, not knowing how to describe their mood at this time.

"No, wait, isn't this guy a good guy?"

"It is, and it obviously has the face of a good baby!"

"How can a good baby make money and go to the casino?! It's not a pirate!"

"Ah, although it doesn't mean that it can't be done, but the contrast is too great! It's obviously a good baby's face."

"That's right, she obviously has the face of a good baby."

*
Karp: "Pfft hahahaha! I like her! This girl is a talent hahahahaha!"

"Yeah~ so it's still a white cut black?" Huang Yuan squeezed his chin, thoughtful with interest, "The children nowadays are really surprising~"

"At the beginning, I thought he would be a decent person, but he turned out to be very clever." Aokiji narrowed his eyes slightly, also a little surprised, "The casino... is really unexpected."

*
Passing through the dark underground passage, you can see the magnificent underground casino.

Huge crystal chandelier illuminates the huge underground casino brilliantly.

It was still afternoon, but the casino at this time was full of feasting lights, beautiful clothes, and full of guests.The smell of perfume loomed in the air, and well-dressed hostesses shuttled among the crowd with drinks.

Li Guanqi: "Wow! This place is really magnificent!"

Li Guanqi held the two gold coins he exchanged at the front desk when he entered the venue, and while marveling at the luxurious decoration here, he wandered around in front of the gaming tables with different games, observing the games here quietly.

Mahjong, Pai Gow, Baccarat, Slot Machine, Blackjack, Fish, Shrimp and Crab Sic Bo...

Li Guanqi watched all the games in the casino several times, and found that there was none of the popular gambling methods that she was familiar with.

It seems that everything has stayed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

So in this casino, compared to the modern fancy games, most of the gambling rules here stay at the stage of some ordinary card games and throwing dice to compare the size. Nothing else.

It's okay... at least there are not many types, which means that the rules will not be too difficult.

Li Guanqi made a calculation, and he had an idea in his mind. After going back and forth in the casino for a few times and making a rough plan, he found a relatively deserted card table and took a seat.

In short, pick the soft persimmons to test the water first, and if it doesn't work, immediately stop and turn around.

Thinking of this, Li Guanqi grinned at the poorly dressed middle-aged man on the opposite side of the poker table, "Hello, sir, I have two gold coins, would you like to play a game?"

Middle-aged man: "..."

Li Guanqi: "..."

Middle-aged man: "..."

Li Guanqi: "...?"

There was a short silence, just when Li Guanqi was thinking whether he was speaking too fast or the voice was too low for the other party to hear clearly, so he was going to repeat it again, the middle-aged man who was originally as immobile as a mountain moved slightly, adjusted After taking a seat, he raised his head to look at Li Guanqi, his originally dejected expression revealed a little madness.

Li Guanqi: "..."

Tsk, it was said that good fortune and misfortune depend on each other, so why is it all a misfortune in the end?

*
"Wait, that guy...!!"

Zhan Guo was shocked by the man's appearance, stood up suddenly, and knocked over the stool behind him, "Why did he appear there?!"

"Hey, can't you?!" Even Aokiji, who had always been calm, was stunned, and his face suddenly darkened, "Isn't that the pirate who killed Teacher Zefa's family?!"

"It turns out that after the pirates were wiped out, that scum went to Frevans!" Garp's expression also became ugly, and while he was angry, there was also a faint sadness lingering in his heart.

Huang Yuan was silent and didn't speak, but his casual attitude was restrained a lot because of the content playing on the screen.

The crane on the side took out the phone bug, and ordered the people below to go to the intelligence department to look through the incident files of the year, and then asked him to send it to the marshal's office as soon as possible.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became depressing. Although the few people were still watching the content on the screen, they fell into a state that was almost in a trance.

Even in the past, they told themselves countless times that people should look forward, but faced with such a heavy memory of the past, no one can honestly say that they have really opened up to it.

Even if the person involved——Zefa, really stood in front of them, they couldn't be sure whether the other party's choice to resign from the navy was right or wrong under the shadow of losing his family.

I just know that those irreparable regrets have already become beyond recognition with the passage of time.

*
Li Guanqi was ignorant of what was being discussed by the high command of the Navy outside the screen, but looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was obviously not a good person, he couldn't help but sigh that he really went out today and didn't read the almanac, and misfortunes never come singly.

"Oh? New face, first time here."

The man joked maliciously, and the interrogative sentence was abruptly turned into a negative sentence.

Li Guanqi rubbed his nose and realized that he had made a mistake and picked the wrong persimmon.So in line with the idea that "a man should shrink his head when he is in the world", the practitioner said "sorry" for Junjie, consciously raised his buttocks and planned to leave the poker table to pick another persimmon.

"Wait a minute, brat... did I let you go?"

The hoarse and gloomy voice sounded again, and then a money bag and a long knife were roughly thrown on the card table by the man.

The shiny gold coins rolled out of the loose cloth bag, jingling and spinning on the card table, and the snow-white blade was so clean that it reflected the reflection of the gold coins like a mirror.

"Money, or life." The man grinned, his eyes were full of gloom, and while staring at Li Guanqi, he also lightly placed his hand on the handle of the knife, the threat in it was self-evident.

Li Guanqi: "..."

Really bad luck.

Li Guanqi couldn't express the pain in his heart, but he still felt that it was necessary to struggle a little more before going to the guillotine, "My whole body is worth two gold coins, sir. If you are just trying to make money, I suggest you choose someone else."

"Hmph, I don't want your money! I just like to gamble! And I only gamble with those unlucky people who come to my door on their own initiative!" The man grinned, grinning ferociously, "You provoked me first, brat."

Li Guanqi: "..."

You are unlucky, your whole family is unlucky!
Li Guanqi, who was hurt by the word "unlucky guy", was a little depressed, but considering the difference in body shape between the two, he didn't say anything.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, sir." Li Guanqi sighed, and sat back on the stool again, his tone was flat, his eyelids were half drooping, and he looked listless, "How about playing dice?"

"No." The man refused, he shook his head, lowered his voice, with a malicious expression on his face, "Let's play cards."

"Well... that's fine, then play cards." Li Guanqi nodded, as if he couldn't see the man's expression, he agreed very readily, "What kind of game?"

Man: "Picker."

"Yes." Li Guanqi didn't raise his head, took out the only two gold coins in his pocket and put them gently on the card table, and continued to ask: "Then who washes whose hair?"

"It seems that you are not completely a layman." The man showed a little surprised look on his face, and pondered for a moment, "Then——I'll wash your hair."

"Well, okay, as you said." Li Guanqi asked the male waiter wearing a mask for a new set of cards, and while handing it to the man, he raised his head and asked again as if confirming, "Picker cards, Right?"

"Yes." The man took the cards, but instead of shuffling them immediately, he said with a grim face: "However, you don't have enough chips now, so you need to raise!"

"...a raise?" Li Guanqi paused, frowned and resisted, "But I only have two gold coins."

"But I don't just have two gold coins!"

As if getting impatient, the man suddenly stood up and slammed the table viciously. The gloomy and violent expression on his face could be seen at a glance. He roared, "You need to raise!"

Li Guanqi: "..."

Add your mother!
Li Guanqi was taken aback. Although he didn't show it on the surface, he felt that the man was inexplicably rude, and he felt that he was a fool.

Silently resisting the urge to lift the table, for the sake of the knife, Li Guanqi, who thought this kind of thing could be tolerated, remained polite, and asked in a good voice: "Sir, what do you mean...?"

"I mean, you can bet on something else." The hideous expression faded a little, the man withdrew his hand in satisfaction, and sat back on the chair.

"Fingers, limbs, or eyeballs..." The man looked at Li Guanqi with a gloomy expression, "You can completely bet on yourself, can't you?"

Li Guanqi: "..."

??????????
No, are you okay?
Are these things that can be gambled on the table? !

Li Guanqi: "You're greedy for my body! You're a scumbag!"
