[One Piece] Capture the Vampire

The sound of gurgling water came from the building surrounded by tropical plants, which was also mixed with the jingling bells on the hands of the dancers. It was another night of singing and dancing. The door of the "Rain Feast" was tightly closed, and a "Closed for Business" hanging on the door ” solid gold plaque.

Mrs. Vandro's red high-heeled shoes stepped on the soft carpet in the corridor, and her black strapless lace dress wrapped her plump body. The rubies on her chest swayed under the dim light, and her snow-white shoulders were scattered with silver. Silk, wrapped in a black fluffy shawl, she gives off a delicate and mysterious feeling.

Behind her was a little girl wearing a dark red suit and short skirt. She looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. She had short fiery red hair and gold-rimmed glasses. She looked mature for her age. The small freckles on her face made her look mature. Looks extra cute.

The little girl's voice broke the silence in the corridor at night: "Master, will Nicole Robin really agree to join us?"

Mrs. Fanzhuo just pulled up her hair around her ears, and her sparkling ruby ​​earrings swayed accordingly. She replied confidently: "All it takes is an opportunity, Dom, you will know later."

……

The ash fell into the gilded ashtray as the man's fingertips shook. The noisy sound in the casino did not affect his interest at all.

He is waiting for the woman he has an appointment with tonight.

The casino door slowly opened, and the person who came was tonight's protagonist - Mrs. Vandro.

"Welcome to the 'Rain Feast', madam."

Crocodile looked at the fatally attractive woman in front of him with his falcon-like golden eyes. He had seen too many stunning women, but there had never been a woman with such a strong aura. It was as if from the moment she walked in, she was... Became the leader.

Mrs. Vandro just said a few polite words and sat on the soft black sofa opposite Crocodile. The slim woman with blue afro next to the man handed them whiskey with ice.

"Thank you madam for providing the weapons to the Baroque Studio. You can have fun here tonight." Crocodile was in a rare good mood and invited her to play in the largest casino in Alabasta.

Mrs. Fanzhuo was not interested in those unskilled gambles. She looked at the man's delicate but rough handsome face with interest and asked him: "The weapons have been transported to Rapeseed Port for you, but... If you want to take away the weapons, there is an additional condition.”

Hearing Mrs. Vandro say this, Crocodile showed a dissatisfied look. He put out his cigar and pushed away the flattering dancer beside him. After sitting upright, his strong body looked very oppressive.

"I don't remember that there is such a condition in our contract. As a businessman, it is not a good thing to break one's word."

"Don't be nervous sir, I just want to invite you to play a game."

Mrs. Vandro hooked her fingers at Dom who was standing behind her. She immediately walked to a maid and asked for a deck of playing cards and handed them to her hand.

She quite admires the little girl Tracy recommended. Regardless of whether she is a so-called business genius or not, her excellent adaptability can kill many self-righteous old-fashioned people in an instant.

Then Mrs. Vandro placed a stack of black and gold playing cards on the glass table, folded her hands and supported her chin, looking into the man's sullen eyes: "How about a game of Totes Poker? My bet is 1 million beli. , the same as the amount you paid for the weapons this time, if you win, all these weapons will be given to you."

"Ah……"

Crocodile felt that the woman in front of him was really stupid. Who would use 1 million beli to play a game that the other party is good at? He has not yet failed in gambling.

"Then what are your conditions?" The man regained his frivolous expression, took out a cigar from his clothes, and continued to smoke.

"she."

The person Mrs. Fanzhuo pointed to was none other than Nicole Robin, who was sitting at the bar reading a book. The named Robin just raised her eyes and glanced at this mysterious woman.

"Why?" Crocodile stiffened. Could it be that this woman also came here for the historical text?

"Sir, it's not a good idea to ask too many questions. After all, opportunities are rare, aren't they?"

It is true that Nico Robin can't help but snatch it back later, but he won't miss such a good thing as giving away weapons for free.

Seeing Crocodile's acquiescence, Mrs. Vandro called a waiter who was new to dealing cards. The strong aura of the two waiters made it difficult for them to deal cards.

Crocodile disdained cheating. He knew that Totes was playing a psychological game. As long as he could understand the psychology of the woman in front of him, he would definitely make a profit from the bet.

But how could he know that Mrs. Fanzhuo had planted a mark in his mind the first time she looked at him, and she could clearly see every card he played.

The two received an open card and a hidden card from the waiter. Crocodile's open card was a 6 of diamonds, while Mrs. Vandro's open card was a 4 of spades. It was obviously Crocodile's open card. .

"Follow." The man pushed out chips worth three million beli without hesitation.

The hidden card that Mrs. Fanzhuo got was a 7 of spades, not a pair, but fortunately it was of the same suit. She saw that the man's hidden card was also a 6 of diamonds, which had formed a pair, and he was obviously ahead. she.

But it’s not the end yet, and it’s not certain who will win.

Immediately afterwards, Crocodile got a 6 of diamonds and a 6 of hearts, while Mrs. Vandrow got an 8 of spades and a 5 of spades.

Crocodile, who had already made four on the bright card, sneered: "Do you still want to bet, madam?"

"Showhand." She pushed out all her chips, with no trace of emotion on her face.

Upon hearing her decision, the waiter and Crocodile's faces were full of confusion: "... then it's up to Madam."

Crocodile felt that she might have known that he would lose, so he chose to give it a try. After all, his four-of-a-kind cards were already very powerful. Being conceited, he also chose to showhand and took out all his chips.

After the waiters each dealt out the last hidden card, Crocodile moved his fingers and saw the King of Spades on the card. He was not too disappointed because his card was already big enough.

"Four sixes and a king, Madam, please show your cards."

He believed that Mrs. Fanzhuo had undoubtedly drawn a random card. After all, how could a card like the Royal Flush, which had a 1 in 30,000 chance of being drawn, be easily achieved.

Mrs. Fanzhuo didn't care about the man's malicious gaze. She gently opened the black and gold playing card with her white fingers, and it turned out to be a 6 of spades!

"Royal Flush, sorry."

"what?!!"

This time, not only the waiters and the dancers watching from the sidelines, but also Robin exclaimed.

Crocodile only felt that his brain was lacking oxygen. The highest card in Totes Poker was a straight flush of spades, also known as a royal flush. The hole card this woman drew was a loose card from the beginning. How did she have the courage to show her hand? Just for that 6 of spades that is almost impossible to appear?

"Nicole Robin belongs to me." Mrs. Vandro nodded to Robin, indicating that she could follow her.

Crocodile felt that she was simply a lunatic. Her courage to gamble made him convinced that she had lost. Moreover, this waiter was from his own casino, so there was no chance of her getting ahead of herself.

Only Mrs. Fanzhuo, who planted the mark on the waiter, knew that the card in the waiter's hand was what she wanted. Although she knew it, it also required a certain amount of luck. She was also betting on the 6 of spades, but fortunately she did not lose the bet.

"It's really interesting. I've never seen such a brave woman."

Crocodile is now full of curiosity about this woman who is in charge of a family at such a young age, but he does not want to play games with her at the gambling table anymore.

"I'll excuse you now, Mr. Crocodile. Remember to get your weapons early."

Because her true form is about to arrive, and if she doesn't take away his weapons, they will be "confiscated".

Mrs. Vandro showed a happy smile and led Dom and Robin out of the brightly lit casino.
