I really don't want to be the pirate king

Lorne is the third prince of the Kingdom of France. He likes swordsmanship. He practiced swordsmanship for several years with Lieutenant General Howick, who served as a defense consultant after his retirement. Because of his hard work, he finally became his direct disciple.

Not only that, he also bought a Devil Fruit a year ago, and after eating it, he became an esper.

With his outstanding combat prowess and the support of Howick, his status in the heart of the King of France has increased, and he has been regarded as the next king.

Although he and Aaron once had conflicts and were robbed of the treasure tree Adam, the latter resolved their grievances by cooperating to obtain the Devil Fruit at the auction house.

This time when the casino opened, both Lorne and Lieutenant General Hawick received invitations, and they were the highest-end golden invitations.

So the master and the apprentice came hand in hand to the island of Seychelles and entered the Casino of the Sun.

"Please come this way."

The receptionist saw their invitations and led the two into the small room next to them. The two walked in and closed the door.

The small room made Lorne a little nervous. The receptionist next to him stretched out his hand and pressed a button, and the entire room began to rise.

"Elevator?"

Hovik raised his eyebrows, showing a curious look, "But it is made so luxuriously, and it rises so slowly under the pull of human power. It is really interesting."

There are elevators in the Red Continent where Marie Joa is located. If you want to reach the New World in the first half of the Grand Line Paradise, you need to use elevators, and their elevators are pulled by humans.

"Two distinguished guests."

The receptionist smiled and said: "This is not driven by human power, but powered by electricity?"

"electricity?"

Howick was a little surprised. That was the content of Vegapunk's research. It had not yet been promoted to the outside world, but it had already been used here.

"That's right.

The receptionist pointed to the light bulbs above and said, "These lights are also powered by electricity."

"It turns out it's not a crystal ball."

Lorne was a little surprised, and then said happily: "This is amazing. It would be great if it could be introduced to our kingdom."

The elevator reached the eighth floor, the door opened, and a long corridor appeared in front of it. One side of the corridor was suspended in the air. Looking down, there was a huge hall connected to the upper and lower sides.

Directly opposite the hall, Aaron was sitting there, with two rows of square tables placed below, and figures sitting behind the tables.

"Crocodile, Doflamingo."

Seeing these two people, Lorne was startled and looked a little scared.

"Walk."

Hawick took Lorne downstairs and greeted him with a smile, "Boss Aaron, there is a Kaike in Gion, long time no see."

As a veteran lieutenant general, he is also very familiar with Gion Kake.

"eagle!"

Crocodile called out his name and said, "It's really annoying, so many marines."

"You are here too."

Jiaji laughed, looked at him and said, "Who is that kid next to you?"

"This man is Lorne, the third prince of the Kingdom of France."

Hawick introduced, "I also received the invitation."

"Lorne has outstanding strength and is deeply loved by the nobles and soldiers in the Kingdom of France. He is likely to be the new king in the future."

Aaron said with a smile, stretched out his hand, "Please sit down."

"My father has the final say on who will inherit the throne."

After Lorne sat down, he quickly said: "This matter has not been determined yet."

"It's certain."

Hawick smiled and patted him on the back and said: "You are qualified to enter here, and you are the future king."

Hearing this, Lorne was stunned for a moment, and then realized a problem. This place was not just a casino, but also a place for power and money transactions. For example, the people here were big shots, so it would be good for him to have a good relationship with them.

Lorne calmed down and looked around, and found that in addition to pirates and naval officers, there were several people. Among them, Palmer, a businessman in the underground world, was acquainted with him, and there was actually a judge from Judiciary Island.

"Thank you for your honor and coming here today."

Aaron raised his glass and said, "I'd like to toast everyone."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all. Gion said, "Stop talking nonsense. I came here because you said there was a gambling game here? When will the gambling start?"

"Don't be anxious, Lieutenant General Gion."

Aaron said with a smile, clapped his hands, and immediately someone came forward with plates covered with red cloth and placed them in front of everyone.

"Inside is..."

Lorne lifted the red cloth and found some plastic coins with different portions written on them.

"These chips are worth 500 million Baileys, and they are all given to you."

Aaron smiled and said: "You can use it for gambling, or you can directly exchange it for money and take it away."

"500 million Pele.

The judge's eyes lit up, he picked up the chips and looked through them, looking extremely happy.

"Not bad."

Gion grabbed the chips and said, "Aaron, you are very smart. You only get 500 million, which is a lot of money."

"And I'm going to make a bet next."

Aaron added: "If you are interested, you can stay and bet."

"Come, come, come."

Gion couldn't wait, "Don't leave for a while, we want to have a good gamble."

"Since you're here, let's take a gamble." Crocodile lit his cigar.

"Breakthrough."

Doflamingo laughed and said, "If you lose completely, don't blame me."

"I'll let it go."

Hawick picked up the wine glass and said: "Convert these chips into money, and I will take them away later."

"can."

Aaron looked not far away and said: "Change the chips into cash for Mr. Hawick."

"Yes."

Someone immediately turned around and left, came over with cash, and exchanged chips.

"Then I..."

The judge also wanted to change it into money, but if he participated in the gambling game, he might get more money, so he stayed.

"I want to bet."

Lorne did not leave. He wanted to contact these people and decided to gamble together with 500 million chips.

"Anyone who is willing to participate in the gamble should come with me."

Aaron led the people to the next room, and Gion followed immediately. Crocodile, Kage, Doflamingo, and Palmer all followed, as well as the textile industry boss and several other people. En followed.

They entered the room and after sitting down, the dealer took out the playing cards and introduced the rules to them, "Everyone is dealt two hole cards and five public cards. Throw away two and use the remaining five." Zhangs come to form patterns. The largest is the Royal Flush..."

Listening to the dealer's explanation of the rules, Gion raised his eyebrows and said, "This gameplay is a bit interesting."

"After everyone remembers the rules."

Aaron smiled and said: "Let's try to play, don't count first."

Under the guidance of the dealer, they played a game first and were immediately attracted by the game.

"Luck and deception."

Doflamingo laughed when he saw that Aaron only had bad cards but got to the end, "This game is really fun."

"Come."

Gion could no longer wait any longer, "Let's have some fun."

The dealer immediately took out new playing cards, shuffled them and started dealing the cards.

At first, everyone was a little unskilled, but then they became immersed in it. After a few games, someone lost 100 million Beli.

The card game continued, but at this moment, the door opened and a figure walked in and said a few words in Aaron's ear.

"I have something to take care of, let's just play."

Leaving these words behind, Aaron followed the other person out of the room, walked through the hall, entered the elevator, came to the top floor, saw Caitlin, and asked: "What happened?"

Caitlin said with some worry: "Commodore Ekaterina, who came with Gion, planned to attack a pirate. I shot to stop him, but the other party suddenly took a step, and my bullet penetrated his leg. .Is everything going to be okay?”

"Ekaterina?"

When Aaron heard the name, he raised his eyebrows, and then said with a smile: "I took it as nothing, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Aaron went downstairs, returned to the casino, and called Gion out.

"I hope you call me out because it's really important." Gion glanced sideways at Aaron.

"My men..." Aaron told the matter.

"Oh?"

Gion raised his eyebrows and said, "You actually hurt one of my men. We can't just let it go."

"It was Ekaterina who took the initiative to take a step and was injured."

Aaron stared at Gion and said, "This is a deliberate frame-up."

"Ekaterina is indeed capable of such a thing."

Gion laughed, showed a charming smile, and said: "However, my person was indeed injured, and she only injured a pirate."

"Let's talk about the conditions."

Aaron stared into her beautiful eyes and said, "But don't go too far."

"This is not an attitude of negotiating conditions."

Gion rolled his eyes at him and said: "Pay 100 million beli for medical expenses and hand over the person who injured Ekaterina."

"Two million medical expenses."

Aaron snorted and said, "I can find someone for you."

"You too..."

Gion frowned, but then she felt Aaron exuding a domineering aura that enveloped her and shocked her spirit.

Overlord is domineering!

Although this domineering force could not hurt her, it showed the other party's determination. If anyone dared to hand over Caitlin, she would not hesitate to fight.

"If you don't want to..."

Aaron snorted and said: "I will contact Wulaoxing now and tell them that they can't open the casino here just because of a little brigadier general."

"Just do as you say."

Gion looked helpless and could only say: "Ekaterina will definitely be dissatisfied, but I will convince her."

"That's good."

Aaron nodded, asked someone to take 200 million beli, and handed it to Gion.

"it is good."

Gion took the money, left the casino directly, took a carriage to the coast, and boarded the warship.

"Lieutenant General Gion."

An officer came up and said, "Just now Brigadier General Yekaterina was..."

"I already know."

Gion interrupted her words, entered the infirmary on the deck, and walked inside.

Ekaterina is still undergoing surgery, and the muscles need to be sutured, which will take some time.

It took more than an hour to push him out of the operating room. When he saw Gion, he said with a pale face, "Lieutenant General, I was shot."

"I see."

Gion said: "Aaron will compensate you 200 million for medical expenses, and then hand over the murderer."

"is it?"

Hearing this, Ekaterina smiled and said, "Caitlin, you fell into my hands again."

"What Caitlin?"

Gion suddenly asked: "The person who injured you was a pirate named Ralph."

"what?"

Ekaterina froze there, looked at her and asked, "No, I saw with my own eyes that Caitlin shot me."

"You may be mistaken."

Gion smiled and said: "That's Ralph, even handed over the gun."

"Lord Lieutenant General."

Hearing her words, Ekaterina couldn't help but said: "They injured a brigadier general, so let's forget it?"

"Haven't they already compensated you?"

Gion raised his hand, stroked her hair and said: "Ekaterina, don't say you are injured, even if you are dead, this matter can be covered up."

"Is he so powerful?" Yekaterina looked unwilling.

"Yes."

Gion nodded, pointed to the top, and said: "He also has an interest relationship with the Five Old Stars."

"hateful."

Ekaterina looked unwilling and raised her hand to hit the bed, feeling angry but helpless.

"Heal your wounds in peace."

Gion patted her hand and walked outside, "I'm going back to gamble."
