Chapter 211: Meeting Crocodile
In the casino, Fujitora, who had kept his eyes closed all along, suddenly opened his already blind eyes, "locking eyes" with Sig.
This caused a layer of fine sweat to gradually form on Sig's back.
Just as Sig's Emperor Engine was almost about to be awakened, Fujitora finally reacted.
His eyes closed again, and the tense atmosphere eased slightly.
"Gambling? This is truly a high-stakes gamble."
"Big brother, you won."
Fujitora said in a low voice.
Big brother?
Sig couldn't help but touch the beard on his chin.
Fujitora is currently 42 years old, to be called big brother by such a person...
"I won't hold it against this blind man..."
While Sig was muttering to himself, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It seems that he has won another gamble this time.
Sig took the initiative to expose Crocodile's affairs, in fact, he also guessed Fujitora's real purpose.
Is Fujitora's arrival at this Rain Dinners casino really a coincidence?
Fujitora,Issho, likes gambling, but which gambler would like a gambling game where the dealer cheats?
Sig had just observed that Fujitora's gambling luck was very poor, and he had basically been losing money all along.
Coupled with Fujitora's words before leaving his seat, Sig roughly judged that Fujitora already knew that the dealer was cheating.
So, why did Fujitora come to such a cheating casino?
There's a good chance he has an ulterior motive.
Sig's guess is that Fujitora came for the owner of the casino, the Warlord of the Sea, Crocodile.
You know, 12 years later, Fujitora, who became a Navy Admiral, his first major action was to arrive at the territory of the Warlord of the Sea, Doflamingo, and subsequently proposed to abolish the Warlord system.
Sig speculated that Fujitora was likely to have witnessed the bad behavior of a Warlord in his early years, which is why he hated the Warlord system so deeply.
Perhaps, he had even crossed paths with a certain Warlord.
Both of them came for Crocodile, that's why Sig made such a verbal bet.
......
So, Sig, with a great sense of relief, led Fujitora and others, and finally walked up the stairs again to the president's office on the fifth floor.
Walking into the room, Sig's eyes lit up.
The style of this president's office is indeed quite luxurious and refined, in line with this casino.
On one side, there is a giant fish tank, where a Banana Crocodile, tens of meters long, swims slowly.
And on the other side, there is a huge transparent floor-to-ceiling window, very grand, where you can see the bustling city below at a glance, and the desert scenery further away.
But this floor-to-ceiling window is basically covered by a curtain, and only a small area can be seen.
A chair turned, and Crocodile, with a cigar in his mouth, sat expressionlessly in front of the conference table.
"Sig, you're finally here."
Sig nodded slightly, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Crocodile's side, the young woman in denim, Robin.
"Robin also appeared here? The timing seems a bit off..."
Sig's heart moved slightly, and his thoughts turned quickly.
According to the original timeline, Robin should not be in the Grand Line yet.
Since she was found by Crocodile in advance, it means...
"Is Crocodile sincerely wanting to cooperate with me? He even found Robin, the only one who can decipher the Poneglyphs, in advance?"
"Was I really overthinking it?"
Sig's heart was a little more settled.
Plus, with Fujitora around... this is a sure thing.
However, Crocodile was not very settled, he looked directly at Sig and others, and frowned slightly:
"Sig, are you sure you want so many people to know about our cooperation plan?"
There were quite a few people who followed Sig in at the moment.
Baldy, Crocus, Baby-5, Morgan, and Stussy were all among them, as well as Fujitora, who had temporarily followed.
"Of course, these are all my trusted subordinates."
When he said this, Sig also glanced at Fujitora beside him.
Although Fujitora is a blind man, his ability to observe words and expressions is not weak, and he did not speak out to refute at this time.
Crocodile was silent for a while, his eyes also fell on Fujitora.
He couldn't see through Fujitora's depth, but he was a little wary of this strange face.
This blind man does indeed have a subtle incompatibility with Sig's other subordinates.
However, Crocodile didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.
"Sit down."
He pointed to the seats beside him.
At this moment, Crocodile was sitting in front of a conference table.
And on both sides of the oval conference table, there were still many vacant positions, Sig could bring ten more people and they could all sit down.
The group sat down one after another.
Feeling the comfort of the leather chair under his butt, Sig secretly admired.
"Sure enough, he's a tycoon... Even a random chair is so comfortable and thick."
"Sand Crocodile really has a president's style... I'll buy one later and sit on it every day..."
And Crocodile, expressionlessly took another puff of his cigar.
"Then next, we will start our formal cooperation plan, Sig."
When he said the last word, a faint smile gradually appeared on the corner of Crocodile's mouth.
At this moment, an abrupt change occurred.
But with a series of cracking sounds.
The chair under Sig ejected several metal bars at an extremely fast speed, which immediately wrapped tightly around Sig's waist.
In an instant, Sig was heavily restrained by the metal bars of this chair, from his thighs to his chest and abdomen, and he could hardly move.
Not just Sig.
Every chair that other people were sitting on quickly ejected metal bars, restraining Baldy and others as well.
Sig and others had no time to react to this sudden change.
Only Stussy and Fujitora made a slight movement.
As Stussy leaned forward, two white female arms quietly grew out of her shoulders, wrapping around Stussy's shoulders, and performed a joint lock in the first place.
And Fujitora leaned forward, just about to struggle, the moment his body came into contact with the metal bar, his face changed slightly, and his movements slowed down a little.
"Seastone..."
At the same time.
Everyone felt the ground under their feet disappear.
In the instant the chair trap appeared, the floor had already opened downwards, revealing a dark hole.
In exclamations, the people restrained in the chairs fell into the hole under the floor along with the chairs, without any resistance...
"Even the strongest will have moments of negligence, even Sig, who is worth 400 million, has fallen into this Seastone trap?"
Robin walked to the edge of the hole in the floor and looked down.
Then, she froze.
In her sight, there was a chair suspended in the air.
Sig, restrained in the chair, was suspended in the middle of the hole below, raising his head with some difficulty, looking at Robin who was looking down at him.
