General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 251 The old man and the blind man

In the evening, the broken ship that Rorschach and the others were on sailed on the sea for more than three hours before finally arriving at the destination of the group.

The seat of the Bounty Hunter Guild, the royal capital of the Holy Poplar Kingdom, one of the few prosperous cities on the seven routes of the Grand Route, the Spring Queen City.

There is a huge port here, filled with ships from all over the world.

But Rorschach did not see a single pirate ship.

Sera noticed his surprised expression and couldn't help but puff up her chest with pride: "Did you also notice? There is not a single pirate ship here. Haha, this is entirely because, in this city, there is a place where we appreciate The headquarters of the Golden Hunter Guild. This is known as the fourth safest island in the Grand Line."

"The first three seats are..."

"Stupid! Of course it's Marineland, Shampoo Land, and Justice Island."

Sera rolled her eyes at Rorschach, then took the lead and jumped off the broken ship that could no longer hold its support and began to sink.

This broken ship would have sunk into the sea long ago if it weren't for Rorschach's ability to hold it up along the way.

This is why it took more than three hours to get here.

"What are you still waiting for? Come up quickly and I'll take you to the headquarters to see what's going on. It's a fortress that's comparable to a naval base."

Sera stood on the shore and waved to Rorschach and Lu Qi.

Luo Xia turned his head, glanced at Lu Qi, and raised his chin towards the excited woman on the shore: "Hey, Lu Qi, do you really not think about it? That woman is the granddaughter of the King of Hunters, a rich woman worth billions. "

"She is interested in you, don't get involved with me, Brigadier General Rorschach." Lu Qi didn't look away and jumped up from his side.

Rorschach shrugged, grabbed the halberd and also boarded the port of Spring Queen City.

There are actually heavily armed soldiers patrolling the port here.

When the patrolling soldiers noticed the large team here, two groups of people immediately gathered around nervously.

But soon, after confirming the identities of Serra and others as bounty hunters, the soldiers immediately smiled and started chatting and laughing with the hunters they knew.

The harmonious atmosphere reminded Rorschach of the relationship between the boatmen and the citizens of the Seven Waters Capital.

Perhaps, the bounty hunters here are equivalent to city guardians like the boatmen of Carrera Company.

However, the size of the city below is much larger than that of the Seven Rivers Capital.

At least in terms of area, it is about the size of four seven-water cities.

In the distance from the port, there are spacious roads and rows of five- and six-story buildings.

As evening approaches, bright lights shine out from the windows of buildings, lighting up the entire city.

It can be seen from this that the population density here is also very high.

Rorschach subconsciously unleashed his power of knowledge and color, covering the entire island.

"Ok?"

But just as the domineering energy spread and he was about to investigate the city, Rorschach's expression changed.

He looked sharply to the brightly lit right side.

In the central area of ​​​​the city in that direction, there were two auras that were so huge that it made him feel terrified.

The two auras were so powerful that Rorschach couldn't help but think of several generals at the Navy Headquarters.

In particular, there was a breath as thick as the earth. In his perception, it was almost as good as the blue pheasant and the yellow ape.

"I'm sorry, I'll excuse you for a moment. Lu Qi, you and Miss Sera go over first."

Rorschach said nothing, and without waiting for the astonished Sera and the frowning Lu Qi to reply, his figure disappeared from the place like a gust of wind, without a trace.

"He...where did he go?" Sierra looked confused.

"Urgent urination." Lu Qi spat out two words with a cold face.

Wangdu Central Street.

On the spacious streets, bright gas lamps illuminate the surrounding roads at regular intervals.

Even at night, there are still many pedestrians walking around on the long street.

There are stalls selling various things on both sides of the road.

There are couples cuddling together on a bench beside the street.

There are barbecue vendors who are shouting to attract customers.

This atmosphere almost made Rorschach think that he was dreaming and returned to that world again.

The style of this city is completely different from any other places that Rorschach has visited, including Prince City, Marineland, and the City of Seven Waters.

Except that there were no electrical appliances or anything like that, this place was almost the same as the fifth-tier county where Rorschach had stayed in his previous life.

But at this time, Rorschach obviously wasn't in the mood to hang out here.His eyes followed the moving crowd and landed on a tavern along the street.

Inside the pub.

"Old man, do you want to buy big or small? Hurry up and place your bet."

A round table in the middle was surrounded by a group of men with bright smiles on their faces, who were shouting and shouting noisily, causing some of the surrounding drinking guests to look this way from time to time, showing displeasure.

On the round table, a strong man with a big body and a round waist spread his palms, revealing three dice placed in his palms.

On the table, a large character and a small character were written crookedly with a red paint pen.

The men were holding more or less Baileys in their hands, with smiles on their faces, and they were staring at a very tall and burly old man with a smile.

The old man also had a smile on his face.

In his hand, he was holding a thick stack of baileys, all of which seemed to be large baileys with a denomination of [-].

This stack, which numbered at least hundreds of thousands, firmly attracted the attention of the men around them.

"I'm buying a small one this time. Jonathan, please help me see if it's a large one or a small one this time. I don't believe it. I'm going to be so unlucky today."

The old man twisted the Bailey in his hand, took two out of them, and placed them on the table in front of him.

He opened a pair of eyes covered with ferocious scars, turned his head to the right and said.

"No... no problem."

An old and weak voice sounded from his right.

A thin old man with a dry body, who looked to be in his seventies or eighties, was trying hard to open a pair of cloudy eyes and look at the table in front of him.

He pushed the two Bailey's with a face value of [-] onto the crooked word 'small'.

"Twenty thousand beli, buy a small one."

The men gathered around the round table looked at the two brand-new ten thousand beli coins, and their breathing became heavy.

"Hurry up and place your bet, I'm going to open."

"I buy big!"

"I buy big too!"

The men took out the Baileys in their hands and placed them on the word 'big'.

Then, the big man holding the dice rolled the three dice in his hand onto the table with a smile.

The dice rolled a few times on the table and paused, revealing the points.

"It's 3, 5, 6, it's big, it's big, old man, you lost again."

The big man laughed loudly, grabbed the [-] beli that the blind old man put on the word 'small', and under the eager eyes of the men, took out the change of [-] beli in front of him, and distributed it to the people with a smile. People betting around.

Basically every man got a dollar bill.

"Ah? Did I lose again? Oops, my luck is really bad tonight."

The blind old man's facial features wrinkled together, revealing an ugly expression, full of annoyance.

"Wait a minute... the dice you rolled just now seems to be 113, so it should be small."

Suddenly, the skinny old man beside him said in that weak and old voice.

When the big man who was putting the two brand-new 356 Baileys into his arms heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he reached out and slapped the table in front of him with a bang, "You old man, can you see clearly with your dim eyes?" That was clearly [-] just now. If you don’t believe me, ask them. How could I, a grown man like me, still lie to you two old men?”

When the gamblers around him heard this, they immediately started talking.

"Old man! You made a mistake! Ramon is driving 356, and so many of us are watching."

"Yes, old man, you may have bad eyesight and saw wrongly. Think about it, this is the royal capital. Who dares to cheat here without fear of being arrested?"

Some people scolded the old man Ganba, while others kindly explained.

The skinny old man was so frightened by the people's accusations that he shrank his body, with a look of fear on his face.

"Haha, don't be angry, don't be angry. This old friend of mine is really old, and there may be something wrong with his eyesight. I believe in your credibility and will not deceive a poor blind man like me. Since it is a misunderstanding, let's continue. , continue, this time I bet big."

The blind old man listened to the noise in the field and quickly explained to his old friend. He took out two Baileys again and put them on the table.

"Hmph! You have to take a closer look next time, old man!"

A strong man named Ramon stepped in front of the dry old man and gave him a hideous smile, which made the old man tremble with fear.

Suddenly, the skinny old man's cloudy eyes turned to the door of the tavern, stretched out his skinny arm and pointed there:
"My grandson is here. He is young and has good eyesight. Let him watch it for us."
