Pirate: This gunman is quite fierce

The old man was in a hurry to get out of the door.

"Hequan Liqian, come out."

"If you have the ability, don't be a coward."

"You think we can't do anything to you if you hide in the sword hall." Outside the door, several apprentices of Wuding Sword Hall were still yelling tirelessly.

Suddenly.

With a "creaky sound", the dilapidated door of the opposite Jianding Sword Hall slowly opened, and a young man slowly walked out of the door of the sword hall.

The young man looked less than 20 years old, wearing a plain white long gown, and a simple katana about 70 cm long was worn on his waist, with an ivory wooden scabbard on the outside of the blade.

His long black hair fell like a waterfall, his face was handsome, his eyes were clear, his eyebrows were slanted, and his whole face looked very handsome, and he gave people the feeling of a breeze in late summer.

The person who came was - Izumi Reiken.

Seeing Izumi Reiken coming out, the people in Wuding Sword Hall fell silent, no longer as radiant as before.

Some people are like this, they dare to curse the injustice of the world, curse the gods and Buddhas for being blind, and dare to speak ill of them behind people's backs. The more you tolerate him, the more rampant he becomes, but if you stand in front of him steadily, he will be timid again.

The people in the sword hall were silent, but the tourists outside the door pointed at Izumi Reiken.

Sure enough, no matter which world you are in, watching the excitement is human nature.

As the noise outside grew louder and louder, Darrow could not help but look at the door, and naturally saw the handsome young man with a plump face like jade. He could only say sourly: "Little white face."

Darrow has been training in the back mountain for many years, and his skin has long turned into a healthy wheat color, which is the kind of sunny and strong painting style. In other words, he is not as handsome as others, so he is jealous.

"Damn it, what is there for you to be proud of, a liar." Suddenly, an angry apprentice rushed out, pointed at Izumi Riki and cursed, and then picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at Izumi Riki.

The imagined scene did not appear, and Izumi Riki slowly turned around and avoided the attack with a very small movement.

This action fell into Darrow's eyes, and he squinted and said: "Interesting."

This kind of dodging with the smallest movement amplitude is an extremely superb skill in the world of One Piece, which requires extremely strong reaction and judgment. In the original work, Luffy also mastered this skill completely after practicing for two years and mastering the observation color.

"It seems that the rumors are not true." Just from the one move he just showed, Izumi Reiken showed quite good strength. How could he be the sweet-talking liar as the rumors said?

"You go back and tell my senior brother that I am participating in the competition this year. If we want to compete, let's see who is better on the field." Izumi Reiken ignored the guy who just attacked and said to the leading student.

After saying that, he didn't care about the reactions of the crowd and just turned around and walked straight towards the Kanesada Sword Hall.

"This guy is also participating in the qualifying round." Da Luo looked at Izumi Reiken's figure turning back and said, "Let me give him a try. Is he pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger or just an accident?" He picked up a small lemon beside the bar and opened the dead eye.

"Lift your left foot and shift your center of gravity to the right." He glanced at Izumi Reiken with the dead eye, aimed at the flaw that would appear in his next move, and threw the small lemon in his hand out with all his strength.

"Shua"

Little Lemon flew through the air at a fast speed, and rushed straight at Izumi Liqian's right foot that was about to fall at a tricky angle.

The reason for using Little Lemon to test is that Little Lemon is more conspicuous and makes more noise during flight, which is easier to be sensed. It is just a test, so it does not have much lethality, but the angle is a little tricky.

"Then can you dodge it?"

Daro sat on the bar with his hands supporting his chin, thinking maliciously that if he didn't dodge it, the kid opposite would at least fall down. It would not be too much to charge some interest for causing so much trouble to his own tavern.

Unfortunately, Izumi Liqian would not satisfy Daro's evil taste. It seemed that he had eyes on his back. The right foot that was about to land paused in the air, just dodging the attack of Little Lemon, and at the moment when the center of gravity was unbalanced, he turned with his left foot.

"Is that the new boss across the street? Your fruit fell." Turning his head, Izumi Liqian looked at Darrow with a smile and said gently.

"Ah, sorry, I didn't notice it." Darrow touched his head and said to Izumi Liqian with an apologetic look, as if the little lemon really fell accidentally and rolled over there.

.

After the two looked at each other deeply, Izumi Reiqian turned back and walked into the Kanesada Sword Hall first.

When the door opposite slowly closed, Darrow took another small lemon from the bar and took a bite.

"Pfft, so sour."

Seeing that the owner had gone back, the onlookers felt bored and left one after another. As for the people from the Wuding Sword Hall, they did not continue to make trouble here.

The outside bustle was gone, but the noise in the tavern continued. Until the sun set, the number of customers who came to the tavern to drink decreased significantly, and most of the people in the tavern left.

This is not surprising at all. Although under normal circumstances, the business of the tavern will be better at night, but today will be an exception.

Most of the people who come to the tavern to drink are going to participate in the competition tomorrow. They come to drink during the day to relieve the pressure before the game and to collect intelligence.

At night, they must go back to adjust. No one dares to participate in the competition with a hangover. If they lose the game badly, they will become the laughing stock of Lezibart for the whole year.

Is it only like this today? Yes, that's right.

Because although the general contestants will not come to the tavern to drink in the next competition period, when the competition starts tomorrow, the betting stations all over the island will also open the market, and the tavern will welcome another group of more crazy customers, the group of gamblers.

As mentioned earlier, Lezibart has a developed gambling industry, and every year's Niujiao qualifying competition has become a carnival for gamblers. Many people will bet on their favorite players during the competition, hoping that they can be the one with a full pocket.

If you win the bet, your pocket is full, come to the tavern to drink a cup to express the pleasure of being a winner in life;

If you lose the bet, your pocket is empty, come here to vent your depression and vent the sadness of becoming a pauper again.

Speaking of this, Darrow also counted the remaining balance in his hand. After defeating Sam, he received a total of 87 million in bounties.

In order to repay Aunt Lucy for the devil fruit she gave him, Darrow left 80 million berries for her family when he left Batlila, which is exactly the price of an unknown devil fruit on the market.

Of the remaining 7 million, he spent 6.3 million to buy the tavern, and other miscellaneous expenses, such as boat tickets, weights, and bullets, added up to about 500,000, leaving little bounty.

Fortunately, Lu Jiu also had some savings, and Darrow sold the old house on Batlila Island for more than 3 million berries, plus mortgaged the newly bought tavern for more than 5 million.

All in all, Darrow currently has a huge sum of 10 million in his hands.

Although it is a huge sum, it is not enough for Darrow to spend. Even if he wins the Niujiao qualifying competition and gets the 200 million championship prize, it is only a little over 200 million, which is not enough to buy a good ship.

Darrow is not a destined protagonist like Luffy. He can get a Sunny made by Treasure Tree Adam with 300 million, and it also comes with a boatman.

To get a good ship, Darrow has only one way, spend money.

Unlike Luffy, Darrow will not limit the number of crew members. The more reliable crew members, the better. Therefore, his ship cannot be as small as the Sunny, it must be bigger.

Darrow estimated that about 500 million should be about the same.

So, Darrow's top priority now is to make money.

And the opportunity to make money is right in front of him. Darrow also plans to become a gambler and participate in the casino carnival of the Gyu-Kaku Qualifying Tournament.

Of course, it is gambling for others, but it is not necessarily for Darrow.

He will only bet on two people.

One is of course himself. As an unknown newcomer, there must be not many people who are optimistic about him. The odds offered by the handicap will also be very high, and Darrow is very confident in himself.

As for the other one, it was Izumi Rikiken who I met in the afternoon. This guy has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger for so long that people on the island look down on him. The odds must be high, and he should be able to make a lot of money.

This is also the reason why Darrow wanted to test this guy in the afternoon. It is related to the wallet plan, so he really has to be cautious.
