Chapter 284: Gambler Grandpa



The letter he received was from the owner of the Guild Tesoro, the owner of Gran Tesoro, a massive ship with a metropolis built on it. It was supposed to be the largest entertainment city in the world.

It was acknowledged as an independent state by the World Government due to Tesoro's wealth, and they also classify it as a demilitarized zone. It was referred to as the "moving country of dreams". Nevertheless, the country was allied with the World Government, as they are required to pay a Heavenly Tribute.

Inside the envelope were an invitation letter and a Vivre card. "Hmm, what do they want from me? Well, it's in my way so I'll check it out."

Then he picked up the newspaper and a poster fell out, he picked it up and started laughing nonstop. It was a Wanted poster of Noodles and the photo was too different than the original Noodles.

It said, 'Demon of the Seas - Dead or Alive - 100,000,000'.

"Whose ship did he sink in Alabasta?" he asked himself and started flying away.

...

Totto Land, Whole Cake Island.

Charlotte Linlin aka Big Mom, the captain of Big Mom Pirates, and one of the Yonko was having a meeting with her three sweet commanders.

"We need to do something about this ever-expanding Golden Justice Army or else it will soon come after us too." Charlotte Katakuri spoke.

"Katakuri, don't worry. Mamma is very strong. Now bring me my cake." Big Mom shrugged off his warning.

"Mother, big brother is right. Universe has already killed and destroyed the Beast Pirates, with Kaido dead we have no alliance. The Germa Kingdom was also destroyed. Red Hair pirates will never join us and I've heard the Whitebeard Pirates have already submitted to him and have decided to join the Golden Justice Army." Charlotte Smoothie added.

"Smoothie, don't worry. I do have a very powerful ally. He will soon be coming here, and If he really has eaten the devil fruit he says, then he has the power to someday become even stronger than Kaido." Big Mom replied while eating one of the cake homies.

"Who is it, mother?" Charlotte Cracker asked.

"Hehe, don't be impatient, child. You will know soon."

...

Alexander appeared over the huge nonsensical ship. A large portion of the Gran Tesoro was composed of gold, and its bow resembled a cruise ship, only much more massive in scale. The entire ship was ten kilometers long and a city was built inside it, with no roof covering it.

He went directly in through the huge door for small ships to enter. Surprisingly, Guild Tesoro was waiting for him there. It wasn't hard to guess how he knew of his arrival. The Vivre card works both ways.

The moment he landed many fireworks lit up and people started shooting confetti. Dancers and musicians came and started performing.

~What the hell is this?~

Soon Guild Tesoro appeared in front of him with a bouquet and handed it to him, "Welcome to my humble establishment, President Universe. I am honored to be in your presence."

"Hmm, if this is humble then I don't know what's exquisite in your mind. Well, why did you send the invitation?" He asked.

"Ahaha... we will talk about that, soon. Let's go in first. I have organized so many fun activities for you. He said and brought him in.

He spooked them and they nearly jumped out of their seats. Brian was the first one who looked at him, "Ah, it's you old man. I thought someone attacked us."

"We just decided to relax a bit after working continuously." Blue Fang added.

"Ah, it's alright then. Be sure to not lose all your money here." He said and got closer to them.

"This place is fishy, so be careful." He whispered to them and left to play his game.

They came to a blackjack table. A man was already sitting there and playing. What surprised Alexander was that the man was blind and he still won.

Alexander occupied a seat beside him and on his other side sat Tesoro. "Care to join me in the game, lad?"

The blind man laughed and agreed, "Haha, I can't deny an elderly person."

Alexander's eye twitched being called an elder. "Bwahaha, funny boy. Okay, Tesoro, let's continue."

Soon after the cards were distributed, Alexander received 15 in total. Now he needed a six. Alexander used his vision to see which card was now on top, and it was a 6.

"Double down," Alexander said. If Alexander wins now, he'd get a double and if he got a blackjack then he'd get 1.5 times. And now he could only get one card.

Then, when the dealer was taking out the card to give it to him, it suddenly changed at an extremely high speed and 6 became 9.

"BUST" Dealer said and took the money from him. The game went on and the blind man somehow won even when the card was changed.

Alexander looked at Tesoro, "Ah, this is no fun. Tesoro, let's bet big. The winner takes everything."

Tesoro beamed with excitement, "haha, I like you, President Universe. How much do you want to bet?"

Alexander thought for a second, "Ummm... how about Five hundred Billion Berries?"

It was like the time just stopped and all the noise vanished. Tesoro had his mouth wide open. 500 billion was his total wealth after all. And if he won then he would become the richest in the world, maybe even more than all those world nobles.

He greedily smiled, trying to show his false confidence. "Haha... I accept."
