Completely unaware,
At this time, Ronan, who was labeled as "ungrateful" by Old Zeke,
At this moment, he had a serious look on his face, leaning back on his chair with his legs crossed, watching the battle on the field intently, his expression somewhat solemn:
"Hey...you two, are you some card-playing experts?"
Looking at the bad hand of cards that could not be played at all, Rondu felt a little regretful about teaching them how to play Landlord.
After sailing out of the waters around Ohara, Ronan was bored, so he took out a series of entertainment tools prepared by Sammy, including a deck of playing cards.
Immediately, Hawkeye and Little Robin were called out with great interest, and the three of them sat around the table.
Ronan just briefly explained the gameplay of Landlord.
Smart people like Hawkeye and Robin naturally understood it immediately.
Then...
Then Ronan started losing streak.
A drop of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. Ronan looked at Hawkeye, who had finished his attack, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"Come again!"
The new game was much more intense. At the end, Ronan only had two cards left, while Hawkeye and Robin only had one card left each.
As long as... as long as one of my cards can beat two people, I can win directly!
Ronan, who had lost several games in a row, swallowed nervously and decided to cheat.
Just a moment later,
"Hawkeye! You actually..."
Ronan's face was full of disbelief!
Hawkeye, who was sitting upright, glanced at him sideways, his mouth slightly raised in an arc, with a sharp look in his eyes that saw through everything.
"As expected, Ronan, you finally cheated."
"hateful!!!"
Little Robin looked at the two of them strangely, not understanding what this strange conversation meant.
But in fact,
The seemingly simple game of playing cards actually contained a lot of tricks.
Because he was too familiar with Ronan, Hawkeye was on guard against Ronan's move when he got the cards.
When Ronan had been losing several games in a row, Hawkeye was on guard against him using his Observation Haki to cheat.
Sure enough, when he played the last game, seeing that Ronan looked strange, he knew that this guy was definitely going to cheat.
Therefore, he had just made up his mind to delay playing cards for at least one minute after Ronan played his cards.
As expected, the future this guy saw was that Hawkeye would keep holding the cards and not play them, nor would he say that he couldn't afford them.
It's impossible to tell whether the one in his hand is big or small.
It really is...
You can foresee the future, right?
I will predict your foresight.
Ronan is a little red and warm.
"I don't want to play anymore!!!"
"That's not interesting at all!!!"
Ronan threw the cards in his hand, and the table immediately became clear, and all the cards disappeared.
Hawkeye was not surprised to see him acting like a spoiled child. He shook his head and went straight to the side of the boat with his knife, facing the sea to practice swordplay.
Little Robin was smiling.
Lord Ronan is also a very interesting person.
With his hands resting on the back of his head, Ronan, feeling somewhat depressed, caught a "prey" in his field of observation.
Then he opened one eye,
Snapped his fingers,
A newspaper News Coo appeared in his hand.
At this moment, the confused little News Coo was also very confused.
What's going on?!
Wasn't I flying in the sky just now?
Where did this come from for me!?
After a brief moment of daze, the newspaper News Coo looked at the man who held him in his hand. After careful identification, he was suddenly startled!
With the fastest speed possible, Ronan took out a newspaper from his bag.
Then he quickly stretched out his wings and respectfully handed over the newspaper.
"Forehead..."
This is something that Ronan can't handle.
Are all newspaper delivery News Coo so polite nowadays?
And here's the etiquette of a defeated country.
This made him feel a little embarrassed to grab it, and the depression he had just felt was almost gone.
Oh... I might as well just pay it this time. It's not easy for them to fly around all day selling two newspapers.
However, before Ronan could teleport some money out of Berry's house, the News Coo stretched out its wings and made a pause gesture.
Then he took out some money from his wallet.
Then he waved it in front of the stunned Ronan and Robin, making sure they saw it clearly.
Then he put the money back into his wallet with a serious look on his face.
Then he gestured a bit, which roughly meant:
"Boss, consider that you have already paid the money, so let me go."
Ronan: "…"
The corners of his mouth twitched a little. Looking at the News Coo in front of him doing his job and rushing to deliver the next batch of newspapers, he finally let it go.
Did Morgans train every News Coo?
Any one you catch will recognize you.
That's quite reasonable. It seems the last warning was conveyed.
Whenever you see him, just let him live.
shook his head,
Ronan sighed, thinking that as his status rose, the fun in the world became less and less, and he had to rely on himself to find it.
"Little Robin, read the newspaper with some feeling and expression."
"Yes, Lord Ronan."
Ronan lay back in the chair with his eyes closed. In his previous life, he liked listening to books and novels, and he loved real-person readings.
Little Robin, who was standing by, took the newspaper and began to read it carefully to Ronan.
"A few days ago...
...449 million Berry,
No matter life or death!! The crime is extremely heinous!!!"
Ronan: "…"
He slowly turned his head and looked at Robin who was reciting with great emotion.
"Why do you pronounce the word 'heinous crime' so loudly and with such hatred?"
"Why?"
Little Robin was a little confused. Didn't Lord Ronan have to read with emotion and passion?
She saw that the eight big words "The crime is extremely heinous, life or death does not matter" were in red, bold and had an exclamation mark.
"Forget it... just pretend I didn't say anything and continue."
Ronan shook his head and continued listening.
"The great pirate Shiki the Golden Lion escaped from prison and successfully escaped from Impel Down..."
Did that guy finally escape?
Ronan finally remembered that he had a comrade-in-arms back then.
But he was also wondering why it had to wait until 1500 to come out.
If I get a chance, I can go and have a chat with this old guy.
…
With the help of Ronan's power, the ship sailed very fast and soon arrived at the edge of the West Blue.
There is a nice-looking town here, and it looks quite prosperous.
Ronan and Hawkeye walked off the boat, followed by a small person who was about as tall as Ronan's knees.
"Well... let's buy some snacks. It's quite boring to eat regular meals all day." Ronan put his hands in his pockets, looked up at the sky, and thought for a while.
"If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it." Hawkeye was not tolerant and spoke coldly, going to the place where meat and vegetables were sold.
"Hey? Can't you just eat...eat?"
Ronan was somewhat helpless, and quickly caught up with him. Then, as if he had thought of something, he snapped his fingers and a Berry bag appeared.
Then he threw it to Robin.
Little Robin was quite happy, thinking that he was finally useful. His face flushed with excitement: "Is there anything I need to buy, Lord Ronan?"
"No… no need."
Ronan raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his gentle mouth curled up, but the words he said made Robin feel extremely cold.
"This is your severance pay. In this town,
You can get off the boat."
