Entertainment Street is the most bustling street in Metamorphosis Town, encompassing shopping, taverns, and restaurants. Even without the martial arts tournament, it's a popular spot for many people.

After all, pirates have never been forbidden from coming here.

Therefore, this place has always had vitality.

Not to mention that this is a major event.

The entertainment street also features a sizable casino, which is the most lucrative place on the entire street, and even in the whole town of Tuizhi.

Inside the casino, all sorts of people roam about, spending money like water.

Pirates, in particular, those who plunder wealth by force, love places like this.

Among the crowd, one person stood out.

It was at a private gambling table without a dealer, where a group of strangely shaped and fierce-looking gamblers were all smiling and staring at a giant among them.

The giant had short black hair and was about 2.7 meters tall. He wore a light purple kimono with a dark purple bandage around his waist. A purple cloak wrapped around his neck and hung down, covering most of his body.

The giant had his eyes tightly closed, and there was an 'X'-shaped scar on the left side of his forehead that extended all the way to his eye.

He was blind.

A blind man gambling in a casino, especially playing poker, is bound to attract attention.

"Uncle, it's your turn. How much are you betting?"

A pirate licked his lips, glanced at his cards, and said, "My hand is a 10 of clubs, a pair of 3s of diamonds, and a King. Uncle, your hand is two Queens, a 4 of hearts, and an Ace of hearts. What are you betting?"

"Oh, is it my turn? I have a pretty good hand."

The blind giant's eyeballs twitched beneath his eyelids, and he pushed half of the chips on the table over. "This hand is worth betting half of. I don't believe I'll never have any luck."

"Ha, maybe you're just having bad luck today, uncle."

The pirate laughed heartily: "The cards are revealed!"

He flipped over his cards, revealing a ten. "Uncle, I have two pairs, a pair of tenes and a pair of threes. You can reveal your cards now."

The blind man felt around on the table with both hands, found his own card, and turned to the onlookers, saying, "Can anyone tell me what this card is?"

Just as the people around were about to speak, they saw the fierce-looking men on the table glare at them, and some of them even pulled out knives and licked them with their tongues.

The threat was not expressed in words.

"Uncle, let me take a look for you."

A gambler sitting next to him chuckled and leaned over to take a look. "Oh, sir, your hole card is a 7 of hearts. So you only have a pair of queens. You can't beat the opponent's two pairs. You've lost."

"How could this be..."

The blind man's face fell, and he said with a hint of despair, "I had a feeling it was an Ace, but... I've lost again!"

"Hahaha!"

People nearby laughed and patted the uncle on the shoulder, "Just having bad luck. After all, you've won so much before, it's normal to have bad luck sometimes, don't worry about it!"

"Yes, I won!"

The pirates who had pulled out the two pairs smiled, stood up, and were about to grab the chips in front of the blind man.

"Isn't this an Ace? How can it be a 7 of hearts?"

Just as the pirate's hand was about to touch the blind man's chip, a slender arm reached out, took the cards from the blind man's hand, and placed them on the table.

That wasn't the so-called 7 of Hearts, but an Ace.

"In that case, uncle, you also have two pairs, and they're bigger than his, so you should be the one who wins."

The sound was very clear and crisp.

Everyone looked over and saw a woman wearing a red hat, with orange hair peeking out from under the brim.

"Huh? Is it A?!" the blind man exclaimed in surprise.

"It's A, sir. These people are trying to scam you out of your money," the woman said.

"You meddlesome woman!"

A group of people stood up, gripping their weapons and yelling at the woman. One of them, holding a long knife, swung it down at her.

"Oh? You resort to violence just because you failed to cheat? That's really low."

The woman shrugged, her right fist clenched at her waist, ready to strike.

Sizzle!

At that instant, a flash of light appeared.

The blind man vanished from his spot, his cane pulled out—a dagger—and he appeared behind them, gripping it in a reverse grip. In that instant, they all froze.

It looks like it's been chopped off.

The pirate who had been raking in the money subconsciously touched his body. He had just been slashed, but there seemed to be no wounds on his body.

The blind man twirled his sword and slowly sheathed it. "Young lady, could you please step back a little?"

The woman was taken aback and took a few steps back.

The blind man slowly opened his eyes, revealing a tiny bit of white. As the blade gradually went back into its sheath, he said calmly, "It is truly fortunate that I cannot see. After all, there are too many despicable people in this world."

Click.

The blade is sheathed.

The woman felt an immense aura at that moment, and her eyes widened involuntarily.

Bang!!!

At that very moment, the door was suddenly kicked open.

With a series of rapid footsteps, a group of people rushed in, took their positions, and pointed guns at the people in the casino.

"navy?"

The woman's eyes widened, and she gasped in surprise.

The blind man's ears twitched, his imposing manner vanished, he put down his cane, and turned towards the gate.

"Checked, checked!"

As the group of naval personnel entered, a voice rang out from outside the door.

A man wearing a navy cloak, smoking a cigar, and looking arrogant walked in.

“Gambling in groups, that’s illegal! All of you stand still, the Navy is coming to inspect!” the man yelled.

“Mr. Kuro, gambling... is not illegal.”

Beside him, a man wearing glasses and also a navy cloak reminded him.

The man with the cigar glared at the man with glasses. "I say it's illegal, so it's illegal. Whose side are you on? Hurry up and bring them here!"

"Kuro?"

The woman glanced deeply in that direction. With her sharp eyes, she could see a group of people queuing on the street outside the door, and a group of people who looked like thugs maintaining order.

“Lucir Kuro, what is he doing here?” she murmured.

"Huh? Who the hell called me?"

Kuro's ears twitched, and he looked in the direction of the sound. Then, he was startled, his eyes fixed on the blind man in the purple kimono, his mouth involuntarily agape.

"Mr. Kuro?" Kuro asked, seeing Kuro's surprised expression.

"Hey, are you kidding me? What are you doing here?" Kuro clicked his tongue and said.

A woman in a purple kimono, blind, holding a cane that exudes the aura of a weapon—definitely a dagger.

There is only one person who possesses these characteristics and, in my perception, has an incredibly strong life force.

A smile.
