Chapter 672: Terrified Sand Crocodile
Just when Robin was looking stubborn, the sound of a door opening and pushing was heard behind him, followed by a deep, mature male voice.
Olivia looked up and saw a man with a slicked-back hair, a cigar in his mouth, a scary scar running across his face, and a black cloak draped behind him, looking like a gangster.
There are few people in the sea who don't recognize that face. It's Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai who has the same title as Vic. It was this man who was speaking to his own daughter Robin. He didn't even look at her and Vic, as if they were not taken seriously by this man.
"What? Can't afford to lose? If you can't afford to lose, then don't open a casino. Do you want to rob customers when they win money? If this reputation gets out, how many people will dare to come here to play?
You don't think you can do everything without fail, do you? With your limited vision, you still want to open a casino? I think you should just go back to being a pirate and rob people directly. It will come faster that way. You are still far from being a hero."
Just as Crocodile was waiting for Robin to kill the two people on the opposite side, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came into his ears.
He did not hear any fear or panic in the voice, only endless indifference and calmness, which made him look at the man who made the voice.
Just this one glance made his heart freeze. He couldn't even see the face of the man sitting on the other side of the gambling table!
It’s not that the man has no face. He could only see countless different faces flashing quickly across his face, and he couldn’t be sure which face belonged to that man. Crocodile knew that he had met a master today, and he didn’t know if he could end it peacefully this time!
"Who are you? With such strength, why do you need to come to my casino to beg for money?"
Crocodile knew that he had met a strong man, but he was not too scared because he was a user of nature abilities.
The person opposite must also be a person with special abilities, but he has never heard of this person's abilities, so this person is most likely a newcomer who has just come to the Grand Line from the four seas. He will not be that strong, and there are also differences in strength among people with special abilities.
"I asked you for some money, and you still have complaints? I spared your life last time! It was a life-saving favor to you! I didn't expect you to be such an ungrateful person. You really disappoint me. It seems that I shouldn't have spared your life last time, don't you think? Crocodile!"
"You! You...you are...it's Vic! How could it be you!?"
When the man opposite him just started talking, Crocodile thought that the other party was shameless and spared his life. Did he think that he was sparing his life because they had met before?
Saying these things in front of him was simply courting death, and sparing his life was considered a life-saving grace? It was simply meaningless, and he was already thinking about how to kill this person later.
But after the man finished speaking, the expression on his face stopped changing, and finally froze on a face that made him shocked and terrified. It was a face that he would never forget!
The owner of that face did spare his life, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and he wouldn't even be alive!
Just seeing that face made him break out in a cold sweat. He couldn't be sure if the person in front of him was really Vic, because Vic didn't have the ability to change his face.
But if it wasn't Vic, how did this person know that Vic spared his life? He regretted coming here. Wasn't it just to win some money? How much could he win? Wouldn't it be enough to give it to him? At this moment, he really wanted to slap himself twice!
Crocodile's attitude and facial expression changes were seen by the mother and daughter. Olivia did not react too much. Vic was a strong man who defeated the Four Emperors Big Mom head-on. He was not someone that Crocodile, a Shichibukai, could challenge.
Although Wick is also one of the Shichibukai, the difference between the Shichibukai is huge. With Wick's ability, he can create an imperial group in a short period of time to fight for territory in the New World. It is really easy to become the emperor of the sea, but he just doesn't want to stand out.
Robin was very surprised by Crocodile's change. This Shichibukai had never lost his composure in front of her before and he had always been in a state of high control.
But now her face changed so much and she looked as if she was facing a great enemy. In Robin's eyes, the Seven Warlords of the Sea were already pirates of high status and big shots. As for the Emperor of the Sea of the New World, he was a legendary figure and was simply not something she, who had just entered the Grand Line, could imagine.
But even this big shot in her eyes, when facing another Shichibukai of the same level, was like seeing a natural enemy. This made her more and more curious and interested in Vic, the young Shichibukai!
How powerful is the person my mother secretly loves? Why did Crocodile act like a mouse seeing a cat? What happened between them? Did Vic really spare Crocodile's life? Did it happen when Vic was a navy officer?
"Just because I left the Navy, did you forget the agreement I made with you? Now I tell you, that agreement is still valid. If you dare to break it, I will come after you. It depends on whether you can withstand my anger."
Vic gave Crocodile a look and said calmly that he had made the agreement with Crocodile as a navy officer. Now that he was no longer a navy officer, Crocodile might have other ideas. So when he came to visit Robin this time, he took the opportunity to give Crocodile a warning. This was also the origin of today's bet. Vic definitely did not want to make more money.
"I dare not! I dare not! I will abide by the agreement!"
Crocodile was frightened by Vic's eyes, his soul was trembling, and he took two steps back unconsciously. He was completely convinced that this man was Vic, and that only he and Vic knew about the agreement.
Of course, it is possible that the agreement was leaked by Vic, but there is also a possibility that this person's power is too strong. He can't even bear a glance from him. This is not something a strong man of the same level can bring to him!
The combination of these two can only be Vic himself. He already knows why Vic came here. Gambling to win money is secondary. The real reason is for the agreement. Gambling is just to lure him here.
"Nicole Robin! You are underutilizing your talents to work under this guy. If you are willing, you can come to my pirate group. I have several friends who can easily defeat this guy. What do you think? Do you want to come? Crocodile will not have any objection."
Vic no longer paid attention to the sand crocodile and looked at Robin opposite him with admiration.
"Mr. Vic! Thank you for your consideration, but I am not the kind of person who often betrays his partners as rumored. They betrayed me first because of my bounty. I just want to survive. As long as Mr. Crocodile does not betray me, I will not leave him."
