"Damn it! My 60,000,000 Berries are all gone in an instant! This is a scam! It's definitely a scam!"
"Hahaha! I started with 1,000,000 Berries and made 80,000,000 Berries! My luck is off the charts today! I'm going all in this round!"
...
Looking at the various devices, Miguel was a bit confused at first.
"Boss, with so many options, which one has the highest chance of winning?"
Chance?
If there was one with a high chance of winning, someone would have discovered it long ago. It wouldn't be their turn.
A charming lady in a revealing outfit walked over and asked, "Gentlemen, what game would you like to play?"
Renji replied, "High or low."
Even though Renji and Miguel weren't dressed like rich people, the lady still wore a warm smile and said, "Alright, sir, our Venice has recently launched a popular High or Low game that you'll surely find interesting. Please follow me."
Led by the lady, the two quickly arrived at a crowded area.
"Damn it, I don't believe my luck is this bad! 40,000,000 Berries! I bet on High!"
"Heh heh, you old geezer, you're going to lose even your underwear today!"
"30,000,000 Berries! I bet on Low!"
"2,000,000 Berries, I bet on High!"
At the bustling table, Renji's gaze sharpened, and he saw a familiar white-haired figure. However, this person, who once dominated the seas, seemed to be having rather poor luck today.
"Interesting, this is the one."
Looking in the direction Renji pointed, the lady was clearly stunned, then said, "I'm sorry, sir, this game starts at 1,000,000 Berries."
Hearing this, Miguel unconsciously tightened his money pouch. He had worked diligently in the Marine, and at most, he had saved 100,000 Berries.
As for the pirates he caught this morning, the bounty hadn't come in yet.
So at this moment, Miguel was a bit embarrassed.
"Boss, I only have 80,000 Berries on me."
Renji, however, was not flustered. "Don't worry, we can afford it."
Seeing this, the lady's eyes lit up. Could this person be a low-key rich young master? Then she had to serve him well.
"Alright, sir! This way, please!"
...
"Boss, are you a hidden rich kid?"
Under Miguel's puzzled gaze, Renji pulled out 17,000,000 Berries from somewhere, and only then did Miguel realize.
Renji said, "17,080,000 Berries, put it all in."
"What!" Miguel's eyes widened.
He was going all in just like that?
Luckily, he had kept 20,000 Berries, otherwise, if he lost, wouldn't he starve?
The lady was also clearly somewhat shocked, but she didn't say anything, she just complied.
Miguel asked, "Boss, High or Low?"
Renji didn't speak, his gaze just swept over the cylinder made of special material.
"High."
"Boss, I'll trust you." After a struggle, Miguel's eyes regained their firmness.
"No more bets... Open! Fifty-two points, High!"
As the dealer opened, various sounds erupted.
"Holy crap! My 20,000,000 Berries are all gone!"
"Jackpot! I made 13,000,000 Berries! High-class bubble bath, here I come!"
Miguel was stunned when he saw the result, then he clenched his fist tightly. "Boss, you are awesome. You really bet correctly."
Even the lady couldn't help but marvel at Renji's good luck.
Renji pushed his hands forward and said, "Continue, all in on High, max it out."
"Hiss..." Miguel gasped.
"All in again? Boss, aren't you going to keep a little something aside?"
Seeing this, the lady frowned, feeling that Renji was being too arrogant.
Good luck once was enough, did he think good luck would always be there?
However, when the points were revealed—
"No more bets... Open! Seventy-six points, High!"
"Holy crap! Boss is awesome!" Miguel exclaimed excitedly, feeling his blood boiling throughout his body.
The lady's eyes showed a strange glint as she looked at Renji.
Was this not luck?
Renji merely smiled faintly at this. With Heavenly Six Eyes, as long as he wanted, the points inside the cylinder were completely clear.
"Continue, all in on High, max it out."
Some guests who noticed Renji's continuous wins started to follow suit.
"I'm in, 2,000,000 Berries!"
"I'll follow with 3,000,000 Berries too!"
"No more bets... Open! Sixty-one points, High!"
"Holy cow, it's truly divine! Little brother, your luck is really good. But winning so many rounds in a row must have exhausted it. Next round, I'm going to bet the opposite of you."
The others also expressed the same.
Renji remained silent.
"Continue, all..."
Before he could finish, Miguel interrupted, "Boss, can you give me some so I can show off a bit too?"
Renji casually tossed Miguel 30,000,000 Berries. Looking at so many Berries, Miguel's breathing quickened a few beats.
Renji said, "Continue, all in on High."
Miguel's eyes widened at this, and he leaned into Renji's ear, whispering, "Boss, it's been High three times in a row. Is it still safe to bet High this round?"
Renji said lightly, "Guaranteed."
Hearing this, Miguel felt confident. He quietly pulled out the 20,000 Berries he had hidden in his pocket and added them, then, mimicking Renji, he pushed his hands forward.
"Bet High, max it out for me."
The result of the round was, of course, High. Renji and Miguel could be said to have made a fortune.
This scene made the guide lady itch with anticipation. If it weren't for Venice's rules, she would have definitely joined in.
"We're rich, boss." Miguel said with an excited smile.
Renji's rapid progress attracted more attention, and those who followed his rhythm made a hefty sum. But some were happy, while others were sad.
In a corner, a white-haired old man had lost 8 consecutive rounds, and in his desperation, he had just signed a contract of servitude. He absolutely could not lose this round.
After observing for a long time, Rayleigh made up his mind and resolutely walked up to Renji.
"Young man, I see that you have an extraordinary demeanor and are destined for great things. I have a secret technique here. As long as you tell me the next round's result, I will reluctantly part with it and give it to you."
[Ding! Detecting current situation of Host, please make a selection!]
[Choice One: Faced with Pluton Rayleigh's request, you, being respectful of the elderly and caring for the young, cannot bear to see him sold to an auction and decide to help him, telling him the correct answer.
Reward: The wrath of Venice's boss, 'Postnatal Care for Sows' X1]
[Choice Two: Seeing Rayleigh's genuine eyes, you smile slightly and decide to tell Rayleigh the wrong result, letting the old man understand not to judge a book by its cover, then quickly slip away.
Reward: Kurai (Supreme Grade Sword)]
[Choice Three: ...]
What in the world is "Postnatal Care for Sows"?
Rayleigh, that rotten old geezer, is indeed very bad.
Renji made his choice with just one glance, but what did "not judging a book by its cover" mean?
He was clearly upholding the justice in his heart as always. It was definitely not for that Supreme Grade Sword.
How could he bear to watch an elderly man like Rayleigh continue to degenerate in Venice?
He was clearly risking himself to help the misguided old man overcome his gambling addiction.
"Old man, just bet High later, I guarantee you'll make a huge profit." Renji looked at Rayleigh and said with a smile.
Rayleigh's eyes were suspicious upon hearing this. "Young man, will this round be a win?"
Renji smiled. "It will be a win."
However, Miguel, standing beside him, looked at his boss's smile and felt something was off, but he didn't think too much about it. He pushed his hands forward and bet all their winnings, so fast that Renji didn't even have time to stop him.
"200,000,000 Berries on High, max it out for me."
Seeing that Renji's partner had bet, Rayleigh had no doubts and put everything he had on the line.
"Come on, bet High for me."
The others also followed suit.
However, when Renji made his move, he didn't go all in like before, only betting 500,000,000 Berries.
Everyone suddenly felt a panic in their hearts. Before they could find Renji in the crowd, the time to open the bets had arrived.
"No more bets... Open! 28 points, Low!"
The atmosphere on the scene suddenly froze.
