Without Crocodile in charge, and even without the people from the Baroque Works to stop them, in Sager's eyes, this gambling city was equivalent to piling money on the ground, waiting for him to pick it up.
It's like a skinned and roasted lamb, waiting for him to open his mouth.
Most of his men rushed into the Rain Banquet and started robbing everything. No matter whether it was the cash on the gamblers or the cash and treasures in the casino itself, they all took everything away.
The remaining part did not give up on other casinos in Rainland, nor did they give up on those gamblers who wandered around and chose casinos.
No matter how much money these people have, they are there to lose it, so don't waste it.
"Stop it!"
However, the chaos lasted only for a while before Rainland's deputy store manager rushed out and shouted, "This is the property of Crocodile, the hero of Alabasta and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Aren't you afraid of death?"
"We are the subordinates of the Scourge!"
One of the pirates grinned and said, "Who cares if you are Shichibukai or not? Hand over the money!"
"Scourge, natural disaster?"
The deputy store manager was startled, and then he saw Sager and Renetia walking in at the door.
"Lord Sager?!"
The deputy store manager widened his eyes and asked, "Why you?"
He knew Sager, first because his name was on the wanted poster, and second because the store manager at the time invited Sager in. Then they seemed to have a good relationship, and he even asked him to get some tools for transportation and recording pointers for him.
"It's been a day, and the news hasn't reached you yet?"
Sager walked to a bar in the casino, picked up a bottle of wine, flicked the cork out with his thumb, and after taking a few sips, he said:
"That crocodile has been defeated and doesn't care about anything anymore, so the cooperation is naturally invalid. Then this place doesn't belong to Crocodile. Hand over the money. If you don't give it to me, Alabasta will close it in a few days. For you, the ending will be the same."
"Defeat, defeat?"
The deputy store manager didn't understand what was going on, but he understood what Sager said.
This store is no longer guarded.
"Lord Sager, there is no need to fight for it if you take over."
rainland is his hard work. Although the boss and the store manager are here to guard it, all the casino business is handled by him as the deputy store manager. No matter what, he will not give up easily.
If Crocodile is not able to do it, then if there is such a great pirate to protect him,
"I am a pirate with a bounty, but I can't do this. I want the property very much, but it's not in the first half."
Sager smiled, but also looked at the deputy store manager formally, "You are thoughtful and strong-willed. Let's put it this way, when I have established myself and you can reach the new world, if you still have the heart, then come find me."
He held the bottle of wine, waved at his men, and said, "Now, don't delay my robbery!"
Upon hearing this, the men continued to rob. These ferocious guys holding shining knives and guns, a few dozen of them were enough to intimidate thousands of people in the casino. No one dared to say a word and just let them rob.
The deputy store manager was even more sensible. He already knew that the matter was irreversible, so he could only take a few pirates to the casino's cash vault.
"My money, that's my money!"
Everything was going smoothly, but when a pirate held a knife and asked people to hand over the money, the gambler howled miserably:
"This is my last capital. I can't give it to you. I have to win back what I lost! If I give it to you, I will have nothing left! This is the money my family has collected. They are still waiting for me to make a profit and have a meal!"
Sager walked over and found that the man was sitting at the blackjack table. His face was extremely pale and he was holding a few bills tightly in his hand.
There was no chips left on his table.
"I remember you."
Sager glanced at him and said, "When I was playing here two days ago, you were sitting next to me. It's been two days, and you haven't left yet? The money that our family has pooled together is used to let you gamble here?"
He kicked the gambler over, and the few banknotes and coins in his hand fell to the ground. Among them were only two 10,000 Bailey notes, and the rest were loose change. There was not even 30,000 Baileys.
"Let me teach you a lesson. There is no difference between gambling in a casino and being robbed by me."
Sager bent down and picked up all the money scattered on the ground, handed it to his men beside him, and said disdainfully: "If you really care about your family, you should go to work hard instead of dreaming about getting rich here!"
The only one who can make a fortune from gambling
is the casino itself.
This kind of stuff is not even worth mentioning.
He is poor, but Sager is willing to fight for this kind of poverty.
This is not a difficult thing to do. If the casino can take it, why can't he, a pirate, take it?
The robbery is still going on. Some people, like this screaming man, don't want to give up their money, but under the pressure of weapons, they think their lives are more important.
They experienced a different kind of helplessness.
Losing all your money in a casino is a helpless thing.
The same thing happened to those who were robbed and left penniless.
The end result is no different.
Some were terrified, some fell to the ground crying, but some people suddenly gained enlightenment.
A skinny guy stared blankly at the money in his hand being snatched away, staring at his hand that was no longer as strong and powerful as before, and fell into a trance.
It has been a long time since he had a normal meal. In order to save money for gambling in rainland, he has been living frugally.
But a long time ago, he was also a very energetic person. Although life in the desert was hard, the money he earned was enough for him to live, and he lived happily with his family. But after a rainy day came, he never returned.
The money he earned was spent in this casino year after year. Every time he told himself that he would stop gambling as long as he could win back what he lost. But every time, he lost everything.
It's not that he had never won back money, but a greater greed took over his heart. He always thought that if he was lucky, he could win more, and then he would have nothing.
As a result, he spent more and more money, but he became more and more obsessed. He always kept repeating the words "win the money back" and fell into an endless abyss.
This time, the money was taken from his family. It was the last bit of money to buy water. He deceived his family's trust countless times and took the money to the casino.
If he lost, he would probably continue to persist.
But when he was suddenly robbed, he suddenly realized.
The way these guys act
is the embodiment of the casino!
They are just as helpless!
"What's the point?"
The gambler covered his face with his hands, and his eyes, which had remained calm no matter how his family members begged, were suddenly filled with tears.
There are obviously better pursuits and more responsibilities waiting for him to complete.
But what on earth has he been doing all these years!
Bang!
He slapped himself hard and walked out of the rain banquet without looking back.
