Chapter 104: Take It If It's Free

Chapter 104: Take It If It's Free

Without Crocodile presiding, and without even the interference of Baroque Works agents, this gambling city, in Sag's eyes, was equivalent to having money piled on the ground, waiting for him to pick it up.

Like a sheep, skinned and roasted, just waiting for him to open his mouth.

Most of the subordinates rushed into Rain Dinners and started robbing directly. Whether it was the cash on the gamblers inside or the cash and treasure inherently present in the casino, it was all plundered by them.

The remaining portion didn't neglect Rainbase's other casinos, nor those gamblers wandering outside who had chosen a casino.

Robbery was still ongoing. Some people, like the miserably howling man, didn't want to give up the money in their hands, but under the threat of weapons, their lives were still more important.

That Assistant Manager was even more astute; knowing the situation was irreversible, he could only lead several pirates to the casino's cash vault.

Sag walked over and found this man sitting at a blackjack table, his face extremely pale, tightly clutching a few banknotes in his hand.

On his table, there wasn't even a single chip left.

"I remember you," Sag glanced at him. "When I was playing here two days ago, you were at the next table. It's been two days, and you still haven't left? Gambling away money pooled by your family?"

"My money! That's my money!" Things had been going smoothly, but just as a pirate held a knife and told people to hand over their money, that gambler let out a miserable howl: "This is my last stake! I can't give it to you! I still need to win back what I lost! If I give it to you, I'll have nothing left! This is money my whole family pooled together! They're waiting for me to win it back so we can eat!"

How long had it been since he ate a normal meal? To save money for gambling in Rainbase, he had lived frugally.

But long ago, he was also a very energetic person. Although life in the desert was harsh, the money earned was enough to live, and he lived happily with his family. But after coming to Rainbase once, he never went back to that life.

The money earned, year after year, was consumed in this casino. Every time, he told himself that as long as he won back what he lost, he wouldn't gamble anymore. But every time, he would lose everything completely.

Those who get rich from gambling… are only the casinos themselves.

He kicked the gambler over. The few banknotes in his hand, along with coins, scattered on the ground. Among them were only two ten-thousand-Beli banknotes; the rest were scattered change, not even adding up to thirty thousand Beli.

"Let me teach you a lesson. Gambling money in a casino, and being robbed by me – there's no difference."

Sag bent down, picked up all the money scattered on the ground, handed it to a subordinate nearby, and said dismissively, "If you really cared about your family, you should go work properly, instead of fantasizing about getting rich here!"

"Then what meaning is there..." This gambler covered his face with both hands. In those eyes, which hadn't shown any ripple no matter how his family pleaded, tears suddenly welled up.

Robbed penniless, similarly so.

Losing everything in the casino was a kind of powerlessness.

But being suddenly robbed, he suddenly understood.

He clearly still had better pursuits, and more responsibilities waiting for him to fulfill.

But all these years, what exactly had he been doing!

Pa!

He fiercely slapped himself, then walked out of Rain Dinners without looking back.

"Stop!"

Inside the casino, a middle-aged man rushed out, trying to stop the pirates' robbery.

"Lord Sag?!"

The Assistant Manager's eyes widened. "Why is it you…"

The Assistant Manager couldn't understand the situation, but he understood Sag's words.

"Na-Natural Disaster?" He recognized Sag. First, his name was on the bounty poster. Second, the manager at the time had invited Sag in, and their relationship seemed pretty good; he even had him arrange some transportation tools and a Log Pose for him.

"One day's time, hasn't the news reached you yet?" Sag glanced at him. "That crocodile lost, and doesn't care about anything anymore. So the cooperation is naturally void. Then this place doesn't belong to Crocodile. Hand over the money. If you don't give it to me, it will be shut down by Arabasta in a few days anyway. For you, the ending is the same."

"Lost... lost?" The Assistant Manager was stunned. Then he saw Sag walk in through the main entrance with Renettia.

"Lord Sag, then there's no need to rob. If you take over…"

If Crocodile was out, then having the protection of such a great pirate…

"A wanted pirate like me can't do that. I really want the industry, but not in the first half."

Sag smiled, but formally looked at this assistant manager. "Your thinking isn't bad, quite determined. How about this: wait until I establish a foothold in the future, and if you can reach the New World, if you still have this ambition, then come find me."

He was the personification of the casino! Equally making people powerless!

These people, no matter how much money they had, were inherently meant to lose it. Take it if it's free (don't want white don't want)!

The subordinates heard the words and continued robbing. These fierce-looking individuals holding shining knives and guns, just a few dozen of them could intimidate the thousands inside the casino. No one dared to speak, just letting them rob freely.

This kind of quality didn't even count as small fry.

He was poor, but this kind of poverty, Sag was willing to rob.

This couldn't be considered a 'bitter haha' existence. If the casino could take it, why couldn't he, a pirate?

He held the wine bottle, waved his hand at his subordinates, and said, "Now then, don't delay my robbery!"
