Chapter 284: Rain Banquet Finally Meets Nico Robin
Chapter 284 Rainy Banquet: Finally Meeting Nico Robin
Above the vast blue sea and blue sky, a man was carrying a girl, flying lightly.
The sun shone on them, like a golden veil, gently fluttering in the wind.
The man had broad shoulders and a straight waist. His figure rose and fell with the waves, sometimes close to the sea surface, and sometimes directly into the sea of clouds.
The woman lay on the man's back. She untied the rubber band that bound her ponytail, and her long blue hair suddenly opened up, flowing in the air like a waterfall.
Her eyes looked at the scenery of the sky and the sea curiously, and from time to time she closed her eyes tightly, her face filled with peace and happiness.
The girl's hands were tightly around the man's neck, as if she wanted to completely integrate herself into his arms.
The surrounding sea water was deep blue, sparkling, and countless small fish jumped and played in it. The sky was a clear blue, with a few white clouds floating leisurely.
During the flight, they seemed to merge with the world and become part of this beautiful scenery. The man's breathing intertwined with the sea breeze, and the woman's heartbeat echoed with the rhythm of the waves. At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten the troubles and noise of the world, and only wanted to fly forever above this blue sea and blue sky.
"After your hair fell down, you suddenly looked more like a princess!" Ning Yuan suddenly spoke, breaking the silence of the sky.
"Didn't I look like a princess before?" Weiwei asked curiously.
"I looked like a bad girl, a spirited girl!" Ning Yuan answered truthfully.
"What!" Although she didn't know what a spirited girl was, she still understood the word bad.
Lightly hammered Ning Yuan's shoulder: "You can't say that to me again!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say it then!" Ning Yuan smiled and asked again: "By the way, do you know the direction?"
"Huh?" Weiwei was stunned: "Don't you know?"
"This is One Piece, how can I know the way!" Ning Yuan was speechless: "You need to record the pointer!"
"Oh oh!" Weiwei nodded, it was indeed like that.
"Let me see!" Weiwei let go of her hand, then moved the backpack in front of her and opened it.
In fact, it was okay for her to not hold Ning Yuan in her hand, because Ning Yuan held him very tightly.
"This, the record pointer to Alabasta!" Weiwei put a record pointer in front of Ning Yuan.
"Fortunately, the direction is correct!" Ning Yuan nodded and whispered: "Get ready, I'm going to speed up!"
"Okay!" Weiwei immediately hugged Ning Yuan's neck again.
"Boom!"
After a heavy muffled sound, Weiwei suddenly found that the whole world was quiet!
"What is this?" Weiwei was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Am I deaf!?"
"You are not deaf, we are supersonic!" Ning Yuan said lightly.
"Huh?" Weiwei's eyes widened. The technological level of the One Piece world is not low. Weiwei knows what the speed of sound is.
So, can a person's flying speed exceed the speed of sound?
It is naturally not possible to rely solely on Armament Haki, but Ning Yuan is not only Armament Haki, he is also a scientist, an aerodynamic expert, and a ninjutsu master who has studied wind escape very deeply.
As the flight continued, he slowly found a way to construct a streamlined Armament Haki shield to remove air resistance and speed up.
From Gemini Cape to Alabasta, you need to pass Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Walz Country. It only takes three to five days to sail this distance by ship, not to mention flying.
In just half an hour, Ning Yuan can already see a super large island stretching in front of him.
The island where Alabasta is located, Santin Island.
It is called an island, but in fact it is a super land with an area of more than 5 million square kilometers.
"We are here!" Seeing her hometown, Weiwei was very excited: "Alabasta is in front!"
"It is very large!" Ning Yuan asked.
"It is indeed very large, but most of the area on Saint Ding Island is desert, and only a small part of the area has water sources, so the population of Alabasta is not large!" Weiwei explained: "The total population of Alabasta now should be around 50 million!"
"50 million!" Ning Yuan nodded. The Kingdom of Alabasta has a standing army of 600,000, so a total population of 50 million is more reasonable.
This can be referred to the Great Cold Netherland next door. The population of the Cold Netherland is also 50 million, and the number of standing troops is 720,000.
"Are there many big countries like Alabasta in this world?" Ning Yuan asked.
"It shouldn't be much!" Vivi thought for a moment and said, "Some large islands may have a larger population than Alabasta, but they are divided into many countries. There should be only one country like Alabasta with a large population and a large area!"
Ning Yuan nodded. Just like what he thought, Alabasta has the potential to become a great power.
"But I'm not good at geography. If you want to know more details, you have to ask my father or the Minister of Foreign Affairs!" Vivi continued.
Ning Yuan nodded, then slowly lowered his altitude: "Since Alabasta has arrived, then next, which city is Crocodile in?"
"Rainy Land, he is in Rainy Land, that direction!" Vivi quickly pointed and asked carefully: "But do we really have to go find him? He is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
Although Ning Yuan made her excited at first, as if she could kill Crocodile as soon as she got to the rainy land, she was still nervous when she got to the road.
Ning Yuan patted Wei Wei's long legs: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Ten minutes later, Ning Yuan had already arrived outside the rainy land.
Not wanting to expose the fact that he could fly, Ning Yuan chose to land outside the rainy land and then walk into the rainy land.
"What should we do?" Wei Wei looked at the streets on both sides carefully: "This is his base camp. If we are not careful, we will be exposed! So what should we do, go find him directly?"
"Where is he?" Ning Yuan asked.
"Uh, I don't know about that!" Wei Wei blushed: "No one knows his location, even if he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
Ning Yuan shook his head. This intelligence work was too bad.
As long as a person is alive, he will leave traces. Eating, drinking, defecating, and building basements will all use ordinary people.
If there are professional intelligence personnel, they will know after investigating.
But of course, this can't be blamed on Wei Wei. How old is Wei Wei!
This is obviously the fault of Cobra or the kings of all generations.
These nobles live so comfortably that they have basically lost their vigilance against danger.
But it’s good that Vivi doesn’t know Crocodile’s location.
His observation Haki has found Crocodile, but his target is not just Crocodile, there is also Nico Robin who will run away when he sees that the situation is not good!
In order to prevent Nico Robin from running away directly when he beats Crocodile, the action can be slowed down appropriately.
“Since you don’t know where he is, let me arrange the next itinerary!” Ning Yuan smiled.
Vivi nodded immediately: “I was going to listen to your arrangements, I will do whatever you want me to do!”
“Really!” Ning Yuan asked with a smile: “What if I want you to get a room in the hotel and we stay there tonight?”
Vivi blushed, and then immediately lowered her head.
But she muttered: “If, if it helps your actions, I will go and get it now!”
Ning Yuan was speechless.
To be honest, being handsome is not all good.
At least chasing girls doesn't require any skills, it's all love at first sight.
Luffy also saves people and princesses everywhere, but these princesses are generally only friends and brothers with him, and only Hancock cries and shouts to be his wife.
As for why, Luffy is not handsome.
If you are saved by an ugly person, you must repay him in the next life.
If you are handsome, you will naturally pledge your love to him, which is Ning Yuan.
Patting Weiwei's shoulder, Ning Yuan smiled and said, "Let's find a clothing store first and match a couple's outfit!"
After a long time, Weiwei, who was wearing a white long skirt and a hairstyle similar to Audrey Hepburn, appeared at the door of Yuyan with Ning Yuan in a white suit.
Yuyan is the largest and most luxurious gambling house in Yudi and even in Alabasta.
You don't need to ask to know that this gambling house must be opened by Crocodile.
"Welcome, gentlemen and ladies!" The receptionist at the door of Yuyan saw the two and his eyes lit up immediately.
The two men are handsome, and the woman is also very charming, and both of them have a kind of luxurious and graceful temperament.
He can be a receptionist here, so his eyes must be good. He can tell in an instant that these two people must be of noble origin, with excellent etiquette and wealth.
What kind of guests are these?
Big customers!
"Is this your first time to our Yuyan? Let me introduce you to you!"
"Get lost!"
"Okay!" The receptionist's smile did not diminish, and he quietly disappeared in front of the two people.
Ning Yuan nodded. He was here to make trouble, so of course he couldn't have someone chattering around him.
"Come, exchange the chips!" Ning Yuan came to the place where the chips were exchanged at the door, took out a coin and handed it over.
"Eh?" The waiter saw two people with luxurious clothes and good temperament coming over, and thought it was a big customer. After taking the Bailey, he found that there were only 10 Baileys?
"Guest? This one!" He pointed to the Bailey in his hand.
"Why, don't you have 10 Bailey chips?" Ning Yuan asked.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The waiter hurriedly handed over a chip.
It's impossible to look down on it. Many people just exchanged a little bit of chips when they first came, but they would get addicted after trying it, and then they would invest more and more.
Now they only exchanged 10 chips, how do you know that they won't exchange 1 million, 10 million, or even 100 million in the future?
"Do you know how to gamble?" Weiwei tightly grasped Ning Yuan's arm, a little nervous.
"A little!" Ning Yuan smiled.
He has never opened a casino or participated in gambling, but the casinos he has closed are countless, and he is proficient in various modern and ancient gambling routines and tricks.
It can be said that no one in this world knows gambling better than him.
Not to mention that he also knows Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
This kind of thing is simply a dimensionality reduction attack when used in gambling.
He looked around casually and then chose a gambling table.
The gambling table is a roulette project, with a round roulette wheel on it. There are 36 numbers written around the wheel. The dealer is responsible for hitting the beads on the side of the rotating roulette wheel, and the number where the beads fall is the winning number.
And what gamblers have to do is to bet on these numbers. If they bet on them, they will make a lot of money, and if they bet on them, they will lose money.
There are several ways to bet, including single, double, red, black, big, small, early, middle, late, first, second, third, three sides, four sides, five sides, etc. The odds of each bet are different.
Ning Yuan chose to bet here because the roulette project is a bet between gamblers and dealers. If someone keeps winning, then the loser must be the dealer.
In addition, the odds of a single bet on roulette are extremely high, at 1:20. If you bet on a specific number, it can soar to 1:36!
Ning Yuan put all the 10 Baileys in his hand on the number 24.
The odds of this number are 1:36!
He bet 10 Baileys, which is not noticeable among many gamblers.
As for the fact that he brought a beautiful girl?
There are no girls in the eyes of gamblers, not to mention that there are many beautiful waitresses walking back and forth in this casino. These girls are dressed coolly and have coquettish expressions. As long as you pay, you can have a night of love.
Here, beautiful women are not a rare resource at all.
There are also girls prettier than Weiwei.
Of course, no matter how beautiful these girls are, they are just ordinary girls to Ning Yuan.
Even if you are a big star in this world, the third most beautiful woman recognized, as long as you are not in the plot, Ning Yuan will only be indifferent.
This is how time travelers are.
"Buy and leave, buy and leave!" Zhuang He held a metal stick in his hand, knocked away the gamblers who still put their hands on the table, and then ejected the beads.
The beads were seen spinning around in the roulette wheel.
Finally, they stopped at a position!
"24!"
"Oh!" A group of people cheered immediately. This was a bet on an even number or three lines.
It's just that they didn't win much, at most 1:5.
Zhuang He skillfully distributed the chips to the gamblers, and then kept a part of them for himself. Although there is a possibility that the dealer will suffer a loss in this project, the probability is extremely small. Most of the time, the dealer wins!
"Huh?" Zhuang He was surprised to find that someone actually bet on 24 points?
He looked up and saw a young man in a white suit with clear eyes.
"Is it your first time here?" Whether it was a familiar customer or not, the dealer could recognize it at a glance, and then he was relieved.
It should be a blind cat catching a dead mouse, or it could be the protection period for novices.
Many newcomers are like this. When they first come, they are lucky and can win all the time.
But once you get addicted to gambling, it is useless to win more, and you will lose it in the end.
"Yours, 360 Baileys!" The dealer handed the chips to Ning Yuan, and then shouted: "Come on, place your bets, buy and leave, buy and leave!"
Ning Yuan stacked the chips together and continued to bet on 24 points!
"We are still betting on 24?" Weiwei looked a little surprised: "It can't be 24 this time! I know that their casinos are all equipped with mechanisms, and they have ways to prevent the ball from falling on 24 points!"
Ning Yuan smiled and said, "Just watch!"
Weiwei was a little nervous, but it was okay. After all, even if she lost, it was only 360 Baileys.
The dealer glanced at Ning Yuan and noticed the chips in front of him.
"How about continuing to bet 24 points?" He saw that Ning Yuan was dressed in bright clothes, had an extraordinary temperament, and looked very good.
This was not a child that could be raised by an ordinary family.
This kind of gambler, of course, must be fed to win a few times first, so that he can get addicted, and then start to slaughter.
Moreover, if he keeps betting 24 points, other gamblers will also steal. After three or four times, he will suddenly change. At that time, not only can the young man get addicted, but he can also make a big profit in one wave!
"Ding!" The metal ball was ejected.
All gamblers stared at the ball, and some even had their eyes popped out, wishing they could grow on the bead.
Soon, the metal bead stopped.
"24 points!"
"Wow, we won again!" Weiwei screamed, and then hugged Ning Yuan: "Calculate how much it is? 36 times 360!"
"12960!" The dealer brought the chips over: "You are lucky, young man!"
Ning Yuan smiled shyly, arranged the chips from large to small, and before the dealer called for a bet, he had already bet on 24 points!
"Brother, you can't bet like this!" The gambler next to Ning Yuan noticed this scene and reminded: "This is roulette! 24 points is the most difficult to come out. It's strange that it came out twice today. How could it come out for the third time!"
The dealer above also wanted to scold him, how could you bet like this, I got 24 points three times in a row, and anyone with a discerning eye would see that something was wrong!
But after thinking about it, he still wanted to try again!
After all, the gamblers on this table have been squeezed almost to death, and there is a new fat sheep, he doesn't want to miss it!
"Bet, bet, buy and leave!"
Everyone was sure that it would not be 24 this time, so no one followed Ning Yuan to buy.
But, a moment later!
"24!" The dealer shouted: "It seems that the casino has met the God of Gamblers today!"
"12960*36=466,560!"
One Bailey at the beginning, but in just over ten minutes, it has become 460,000 Baileys!
"You are very lucky today, I think you can take advantage of the victory!!" The dealer gave the chips to Ning Yuan, and a gambler next to Ning Yuan immediately began to instigate.
Ning Yuan ignored him, but piled up the chips worth 466,560 Baileys and continued to bet on 24!
"Brother!" The gambler on Ning Yuan's left looked sad: "I'm really not betting like you. It's a miracle to get 24 points three times in a row. It's impossible to do it again!"
Ning Yuan smiled and ignored him, but looked at Zhuang He and signaled to start the next round quickly.
"Would you like to join us?" a gambler thought.
This young man has won three rounds, so he has something!
Some people disagreed: "If he bets on a random number, it's not impossible to try his luck. But he is still betting on 24 points. Isn't it possible that one wheel can produce 24 points four times in a row? I have never seen it in my life. Get over this situation!”
The banker next to him is also trying to persuade: "Little brother, you may not understand this for the first time. It is impossible for the beads on the turntable to appear on the same grid every time. The three consecutive 24 points before have really reached 24 points. What a miracle!”
He has already planned not to go out to 24 next time.
Good luck, that's it for now!
Ning Yuan just smiled and then signaled to the banker that no one was placing bets anymore. Why don't you kick off?
"Alas!" The dealer sighed. He didn't turn on the mechanism this time, but he didn't turn on the interference mechanism either. Where the ball will land is really completely random!
But I saw the metal ball swaying, swaying, and finally stopped in a number area.
"twenty four!"
Zhuang He suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
Wait, wait, how is this possible?
His right hand subconsciously touched the mechanism under the chair, but it didn't open.
Then why is it still 24 o'clock?
The gamblers were also shocked: "How is it possible, four in 24?"
There are loud voices that have already begun to shout: "Come here and see, a miracle has happened in the carousel area, four consecutive 24 points!"
Another good thing is that he has already started to help the banker calculate how many chips he should give in this wave.
466, 560*36=16, 796, 160
Nearly 17 million Baileys!
It only took less than half an hour to win from 10 Baileys to 17 million Baileys!
If Ning Yuan really left with the 17 million Baileys, the dealer would probably be buried in the sea tomorrow!
"You can't, eh?" Zhuang He was about to persuade Ning Yuan to continue betting and keep 17 million, but he saw that Ning Yuan's hand had already moved.
17 million chips is already a big pile.
Fortunately, the chip denominations come in large and small sizes. If it were still 10 Baileys, I would definitely not be able to put it down now.
But after seeing where Ning Yuan placed his bet, the banker became even more panicked.
Because he placed the bet at 24 o’clock!
What if he wins again?
16,796,160*36=604,661,760, we have to pay him 600 million beli!
The chips on this table are no longer enough to compensate him, the casino has to use its own profits!
However, Zhuang He was in a relaxed mood, because he knew that these four consecutive 24 points were very valuable.
Only the first and fourth times are true luck. The second and third times are all under your control.
"I have to say that this newcomer's luck is indeed very good, but your luck only ends here!" The banker shouted loudly to place the bet and opened the mechanism.
The metal balls they dropped were actually not pure metal, but magnetic.
By controlling the mechanism, different magnetic poles can be generated under the table, which ultimately affects the landing point of the metal ball.
As long as the stimulation point is set next to 24 o'clock, or simply opposite, then this metal ball will never land at 24 o'clock in this life!
"The protection period for newcomers has ended. Give me back all the money you earned!" Zhuang He laughed ferociously and popped out the metal ball!
Five seconds, ten seconds!
The speed of the metal ball gradually slowed down, but the sweat on Zhuang He's forehead became heavier and heavier.
Because the metal ball did not stop at all when passing the magnetic pole, but began to slow down in front of 24 o'clock!
Until the end, it stays at 24 o'clock!
The number of chips in Ning Yuan's hands increased from 17 million to 600 million!
"Oh!" The entire table, and even the entire casino, began to notice this young man in a white suit.
24 points once is luck, 24 points twice is smoke coming from ancestral graves, 24 points 3 times may be fishy, then 24 points 4 times is a complete miracle!
But now, this is the fifth time!
What is the concept of five consecutive 24 points?
God comes to earth?
Or, the Celestial Dragon comes to earth?
"Didn't he act randomly?"
"Is it possible that he is actually a prince and nobleman, and the casino is using this method to send him money?"
"How about we buy with him?"
"Aren't you afraid that he is a trap?"
"Then buy a 100-beli and try it out!"
Looking at the eager gamblers, the banker quickly called the waiter and gave some instructions.
He controls the marbles, how can he not know if there is something fishy?
This man is not a prince or nobleman at all!
Moreover, the backstage of our casino is astonishingly large. Which nobleman needs us to give bribes like this?
The most important thing is that I have clearly activated the mechanism to interfere with the ball's landing point. How can he still land at 24 points?
Looking at Ning Yuan, who had a calm face and was not excited about 600 million beli at all, Zhuang He finally understood.
This man is not a gambler at all!
It is impossible for a true gambler not to be excited when he wins from 10 beli to 600 million beli!
This person is here to cause trouble!
If that's the case, then you don't have to be polite.
"Do you want to continue to bet on 24 points?" Zhuang He asked coldly.
"Yes!" Ning Yuan was not in a hurry to push, because the money on the whole table was not enough for 600 million, and he had to move it from other places.
While waiting for the chips to be delivered, Zhuang He said coldly: "Young man, don't you know the principle of quitting when you are ahead? Be careful that you have a life to earn but no life to spend!"
"You run a casino, are you still afraid that the guests will win money?" Ning Yuan laughed: "Everyone has heard it, don't win money in Yuyan in the future, otherwise he will make you unable to survive!"
Zhuang He's face turned pale: "That's not what I mean. I mean that the security in Yuyan is not very good. If you leave with too much money, you may be robbed!"
"You don't need to worry about this!" Ning Yuan smiled and said: "At most, I will take this money to light a cigarette at the door. Anyway, it's my money, I can spend it however I want!"
"You!" Zhuang He's face turned black, and he was about to continue to curse, when a gentle female voice suddenly sounded from the second floor.
"Gu Wei, stop talking!"
When the gamblers heard the voice, they began to exclaim: "It's that one!"
"Black Beauty!"
"Miss Quan Sunday!"
Ning Yuan also looked in the direction of the voice, and then was stunned.
This person is naturally a woman, but she is wearing a white floral cheongsam!
There are cheongsams in the world of One Piece, which is really eye-opening!
As we all know, cheongsams are quite flattering, and this cheongsam also perfectly sets off the exquisite curves of women, and the slender long legs under the cheongsam, and the mysterious area that is so looming, give people a feeling of forbearance and fantasy.
I am not afraid of girls wearing JK, but I am afraid of mature women wearing cheongsams.
Nico Robin is not an ordinary mature woman. She is a historian who obtained a doctorate at the age of 7. She is an intellectual mature woman.
The intellectual charm is directly maxed out!
In addition to her good figure, Robin is also very beautiful, with regular features and deep eyes, and a sense of broken depression.
Ning Yuan felt that she looked a bit like Nie Xiaoqian in A Chinese Ghost Story.
Of course, she was a plus-figured version.
Joey Wong was beautiful, but her figure couldn't compare to the women in One Piece.
"Hiss!" Ning Yuan suddenly felt a pain in his waist, and then Wei Wei's voice with some resentment came to his ears: "Is she so pretty?"
Ning Yuan was speechless.
Sister, we are saving the country now, don't be jealous at this time!
But to be honest, the two should be equally matched in terms of appearance.
But in terms of temperament, Robin really beat Wei Wei in seconds.
