Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

The troublemaking pirates were easily defeated, and the battle scenes were broadcast to various places on the big screens in the city under the arrangement of the security captain Mr. Tanaka.

It was a good idea to demonstrate the security strength of Gulan Tezzolo in front of the guests who participated in the trial opening.

Some people were intimidated by the superb fighting skills of the guards and did not dare to act rashly, while others were disapproving and planned to find another opportunity.

If you can't rob in the morning, you can still wait until night to steal.

Zhang Da also praised the combat abilities of these soldiers without hesitation, but Bakala did not hear much sincerity and did not see any shocked reactions from others.

Thinking about it, this is normal. The other party is someone who has fought against the Big Mom Pirates, so it is reasonable to look down on these soldiers.

I believe that after seeing Master Tezolo demonstrate his abilities, they will not be as dull as they are now.

"These villains will get the punishment they deserve. Don't let them spoil your fun. Please continue to visit."

Baccarat continued driving: "Do you want to go shopping first, or do you want to gamble a few games?"

"Let's go gamble for a few games and earn some pocket money first." Zhang Da also did the math. Seeing that it was almost lunch time, he wanted to earn some money for the meal first.

Baccarat naturally agreed, but instead of taking them to the central casino, they found a building with a dice sculpture on the roof.

The gambling process went unexpectedly smoothly. Baccarat showed no sign of taking action and simply watched them play casually.

Her main targets of observation were Artoria, who was extremely lucky, and Yixiao, who had little information.

Both of them noticed it, but neither of them figured it out.

At lunch time, Bacara took them to one of the most luxurious restaurants on the ship, and witnessed with her own eyes the extraordinary appetite of the Amber tour group.

During the afternoon shopping trip, Baccarat just guided and explained dutifully, just like an ordinary tour guide.

Towards evening, we took them to the hotel and arranged a super luxurious suite.

Zhang Da was also a little unsure of what Tezzolo meant. Did he send Baccarat here just to give them face?

Or is she only responsible for observation and surveillance, and by the way, preventing Arturia from going to the casino to make a lot of money by playing stud?

Also, they said they were important guests, but Tezzolo didn't even show his face?

Full of suspicion, Zhang Daye and his companions temporarily checked into the hotel.

But of course I have to work the night shift at night.

"I'm going to the biggest casino next. Please have a good rest." Yixiao left with the cash box as usual. Like Wangdu Casino, this golden city is most lively at night.

Of course, the others couldn't sleep peacefully because the flag demon sent by Zhang Daye and Ye Yan had already sent back the news.

The flag demons found the prisoners from D'Alena in a distant construction area. According to their investigation, these prisoners had been sent here to work since they were captured.

The salary is not completely absent, but after deducting food expenses, it is all used to "pay off debts."

As for where the debt came from, it is said that they were all redeemed from the Kingdom of Gambo by Tezoro at a huge expense, and they were asked to work until the debt was repaid.

After hearing the figures told to them by Mr. Tanaka, many prisoners said they did not know they were worth so much.

Calculating the wages here, it will take them ten to twenty years to pay off, and many people have lost all hope.

So Tezzolo gave them the opportunity to gamble once a month.

The amount of the bet is decided by themselves. As long as they win, double the amount can be deducted from the debt. If there is any excess, it can be settled on the spot.

Many people believed Tezzolo's lies and bet all their debts at once. As a result, their working years were greatly extended.

There are also some people who are more cautious and only deposit a small amount. As a result, they successfully shorten their working hours, but they regret that they were too timid.

With a weaker personality, he directly asked if he could refuse the bet, and Tezzolo also agreed.

In short, this group of people stayed at their jobs for the time being. Although the situation was slightly different, they did not completely lose hope.

As long as you make enough money, you can leave. As long as you win the next gamble, you can leave. Maybe you can find a way to escape...

The prisoners have their own thoughts, but so far no one has managed to leave.

People who place their bets on winning will occasionally have small wins, but most of the time they just add to their debt.

Those who wanted to escape secretly were turned into golden statues and stood in front of the workers' dormitories as a warning.

Of course, not all of the prisoners working here are De Arena's prisoners, there are also gamblers from Gambo Kingdom.

After they were in debt, they were sent here to work and wait to gamble.

These people are said to be workers, but their treatment is better than that of slaves. As long as they work hard, they will not be beaten and they will have enough to eat every day.

——After all, Gulan Tezoro still has a large area of ​​land that needs to be built.

The flag demons asked the captives of the Kingdom of D'Irena about Yak, and learned that the people who were recently sent to the ship might be assigned to work in major shops.

Or he might have been locked up for disobedience, or the worst possibility would have been turned into a golden statue like those who tried to escape.

Then the next thing to do is to go shopping in various major stores, and at the same time, we have to continue to work hard for the banner demons to find Yak's whereabouts as soon as possible.

…

Tezzolo was very busy today and had no time to receive the amber tour group.

Although no Tianlong people came to visit today, it also took a lot of energy from him to receive various guests.

The first step was to receive the two kings and mediate the conflicts between the two major countries on Hourglass Island. The progress was not great.

Tezzolo is already considering ways to support one side to completely conquer the other side. Anyway, if there is peace, he will open a casino and if there is a war, he will sell weapons. No matter what, he will make money.

It's just that the two kings have some problems with their personalities and ideas. One is unwilling to stop the war, but he doesn't want the other's land, and the other is not interested in war, but he doesn't want to destroy the other once and for all.

This gave Tezzolo a headache, and he needed to think carefully about ways to break up the fight or reverse it.

The second step is to receive dignitaries from various countries in the nearby waters. Taking them to have fun and gamble is just an appetizer. When everyone is in high spirits, show off their arsenal, which is the main meal.

Invite them over by taking the opportunity of the trial opening. In addition to building a reputation, you should also inform them:

Since Doflamingo's fall, private channels for obtaining weapons have been established again.

If you want weapons, come to him, Tezzolo.

Dignitaries from various countries were stunned by the weapons displayed by Tezzolo. Although they did not place orders directly under the eyes of officials from other countries, most of them quietly expressed their wish to talk to Tezzolo privately.

In addition, there are officials from the World Government and generals from the Navy who need to be received by Tezzolo personally.

Many navies don't know that a considerable part of the weapons they use to fight pirates are purchased from Wano.

In other words, the World Government has actually been purchasing weapons from Kaido through various channels.

If you think about it a little more, Kaido could go out to challenge the Navy Headquarters every now and then and still escape unscathed. Maybe there were factors in this aspect as well.

Buying weapons from pirates must not be done openly, and purchasing them piecemeal from the underground world is too inefficient and the price is unstable.

The appearance of Doflamingo at this time provided them with a good idea. It would be great if there was a broker in the underground world who was famous enough and whose identity was legal.

Just like when Doflamingo was still there, even if the World Government was found to be buying weapons from him, there would be no problem because the Shichibukai were one of their own.

If something goes wrong and the source of the weapon is revealed to be Kaido, then the responsibility can also be put on Doflamingo. He used his position to deceive the World Government and betray the trust of the Five Old Stars in him.

In fact, they did handle it this way, but once Doflamingo died, they needed to find a new middleman.

At this time, the power gradually began to rise, and Tezzolo, who had strong financial resources, caught their attention.

The original intention of the Five Old Stars was for Tezoro to become a Shichibukai, but Tezoro really didn't like that crappy position that saw three people kill him in two years.

He wanted greater rights, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to campaign and win some Tianlong people to speak for him.

Seeing that Tezzolo was very capable and rich, Wulao Xing finally approved his request and allowed him to establish a 'completely neutral country'.

As for whether Wano Country is willing... Gold is also a hard currency in Wano Country. Who would have trouble with such a shining golden cutie?

Therefore, Tezzolo also needs to receive well the government officials and navy who came to participate in the trial opening today.

The amount and delivery time of the next order need to be carefully negotiated.

Performing on stage, presiding over the opening process, receiving guests from all walks of life, and having a dance party in the evening...

After a busy day, Tezzolo finally got a chance to rest. He sat back on his golden seat and exhaled.

"Thank you, Lord Tezolo." Baccarat poured him a glass of champagne - Tezolo particularly liked this golden liquor.

"What happened to those people?"

Baccarat said: "There is nothing unusual. It looks like an ordinary tourist, just eating, drinking and having fun."

"Most of them seem to be laymen in terms of gambling skills. Only the blind newcomer knows some gambling skills, and the watchman seems to know a little about it. The others don't even know the uses of many gambling tools."

"As for the swordsman who needs special attention, he is really just lucky. When participating in gambling games such as dice and roulette, he can win even if he buys randomly."

Tezzolo drank all the wine in the glass: "So, you should be sure that she will lose, right?"

"She is very vigilant, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to touch her body." Baccarat said, "If you want to win against her, you need to absorb the luck of many people."

In this way, these people will be very troublesome opponents at the gambling table. They not only have exaggerated luck that makes it difficult for the opponent to win without cheating, but also have the vision to see through their opponents' cheating...

In this way, it would be difficult to design them in a gambling way.

Unless...the goal is to trick those kids.

Find a way to saddle them with huge debts that are difficult to repay?

Tezzolo thought for a while and asked: "What about other information?"

"I haven't seen them demonstrate their capabilities, but this tour group looks very loose."

"Although Zhang Daye is nominally the leader, the one named Yixiao often acts without permission. When others put forward any opinions, Zhang Daye rarely objects..."

Baccarat thought that maybe she could try to break them up and look for opportunities to poach them or something like that.

…

In order to improve the efficiency of finding people, Zhang Daye and the others chose to act separately.

Of course, when grouping, each group has a guarantee of combat effectiveness, and the baby phone bug is always worn on the wrist.

Zhang Da was also in a group with Tom, heading back along the same road he came from.

The first store the two entered was a billiards hall.

There are not many customers inside, and basically every table is served by a clerk alone, who even plays ball with the guests.

Zhang Da also glanced at it. Black eight, nine ball, snooker, all kinds of rules.

Tom couldn't help it when he saw this scene, and immediately rushed to a table and picked up the cue.

The clerk did not drive Tom away, but bowed politely to Zhang Daye: "Guest, what do you want to play? Will your cat be injured?"

Zhang Da also took out a few big tickets and said, "Just let him play as he likes. You can find anyone to be his opponent."

"Okay sir, let me do it." The clerk was not dissatisfied at all. You can make money just by playing with the cat. What a great thing.

However, when he teed off first, Tom immediately performed a one-shot clearing for him.

If it had been Tom kicking off the ball, there would have been no chance for him to play.

Zhang Da also waved his hand: "Too bad, let's find someone else."

"Yes..." The clerk ran to call someone dejectedly.

Tom continued to show the newcomers how to play billiards, including scoring six balls in one shot, jumping balls, and curve balls.

What is a little difficult is to successfully score a goal by bouncing back and forth dozens of times, and even hitting the ball in a string, clanging into the hole like a train...

After Tom finished a round, he waved his hand to ask the opponent to substitute, holding the club in his arms, looking like he was invincible in the world.

Not only the clerks, but also the customers who came to play were dumbfounded. Is this the arrival of the billiards god?

Someone recognized Tom and Zhang Tatsuya, and immediately thought it made sense. What happened to the cats of the Amber Tour Group being so powerful?

Zhang Da also took advantage of Tom's playing time to observe all the clerks in the hall. After confirming that there was no one he was looking for, he asked: "Are there any other clerks? Let's find another one."

"No, no more, sir." The store manager wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, "All the store employees, including me, are no match for Mr. Tom. Even the cleaner at the back has been there just now..."

To be on the safe side, Zhang Da also turned on his power and electromagnetic radar to scan the entire billiard hall to confirm that there was really no one behind him:

"Let's go Tom, there's no one here who can fight."
