In a casino somewhere.
Two people sit opposite each other at a table full of chips.
One of them was an incredibly burly man with a large beard and a captain's hat, while the other was much smaller, with silver hair and fair white skin, his eyes vaguely showing an illusory watch emitting a pale golden glow. his lips curved into a slight smile.
"I've already won, mate."
The bearded pirate took a large glass of beer from the table, greedily drained it in one go and said confidently, "Your cards on the table are three sevens and a king, in the second round you got a king and dared to back my bet, then your hidden card must be a king, in total, you have three sevens and two kings..."
After saying that, he turned over his cards.
His hidden card was a triple.
In total, with the cards open on the table, he had four threes and an ace.
"Oooooh, four threes!!!"
Someone standing next to the table exclaimed in surprise.
In a 5-card pack, it is extremely rare to collect four cards, as a rule, for a long time, you can only come across a handful of those lucky ones.
As the pirate said, after receiving such cards, he already won.
Yeruashi can not have four sevens, because in that case, in the second round, with a seven and a king, he would not dare to stand such a big bet.
Now Yeruashi's hidden card is a king or an ace, only by having a king-king or king-queen pair would he dare to support such a bet in the second round.
The bearded pirate smiled and stood up, starting to pick up the chips from the table.
"Take your time."
Yeruashi calmly picked up the glass from the table, took a sip of red wine and stroked the head of the little Robin sitting next to him, then carefully flipped over his hidden card, "You should see the opponent's hidden card... before you start celebrating."
The face-up card was a seven.
7777!
Four sevens!
The bearded pirate froze at Yeruashi's words, then looked at his cards in disbelief.
"Four sevens?!"
"Impossible!!!"
The bearded pirate exclaimed in shock and ran around the table, beginning to rub the hidden card with suspicion and disbelief.
It really was the seven of hearts.
Yeruashi smiled and stood up, "Robin, take the chips, we're leaving."
Taking a deep breath, Robin jumped out of her chair and began shoveling the chips from the table into the prepared box, quickly filling it to the brim, then picked up a large box and followed Yeruashi to the chip exchange area.
Only the bearded pirate was left, staring in disbelief at the cards in his hands.
He gritted his teeth and looked at Yeruashi, "That's impossible! How could you back my bet on that round?! This can't be happening! No one would back such a big bet in such a situation! Why?"
Everyone present looked at Yeruashi.
Including Robin, who is carrying a box of potato chips by her side.
Although Robin doesn't know much about gambling, but with her intelligence, it was enough just to look at a few games to fully understand the basic rules, so she could also realize that this bet of Yeruashi's was too strange and illogical.
But more importantly, Robin was sitting next to Yeruashi the whole time and could see the cards, so she can be sure that there was no cheating or deception.
During the entire game, Yeruashi only raised and looked at the hidden card, and the rest of the time, he did not touch the cards at all, from the beginning to the end of the game!
In her opinion, the dealer should not have cooperated with Yeruashi either.
In that case, how could this happen?
Yeruashi turned his head and smiled mysteriously, noticing the doubt in Robin's eyes, "It's because of my eyes..."
"They can see the future."
...
A box of potato chips was exchanged for two large boxes of bills.
A total of 222.4 million Belli!
Initially, Yeruashi was going to win around a couple of million, but a series of continuous winnings attracted the casino's attention and he was invited to the VIP room, after which this scene unfolded.
"The future..."
After leaving the casino, Robin looked at Yeruashi with a sparkle in her eyes, "Sir, can you really see the future?"
According to the people in the casino, it was just the mysterious words of the big winner before he left, but Robin thought it might be true.
"Seeing the future is too boring."
"Life becomes too boring and uninteresting if you know all the events beforehand, so I usually don't use this ability."
Yeruashi smiled.
As they left the casino and strolled quietly through the streets, gradually the people around them became less and less, until the streets were completely empty.
Robin looked around carefully and saw human figures with guns in their hands appearing in the empty streets from all sides.
Twenty men carrying various weapons surrounded Robin and Yeruashi with cold faces.
The leader of the group was a burly man with a captain's hat on his head and a large brown beard.
His beard is woven into three braids, resting on his chest, and in his hands he holds large pistols.
"The 'Demon Girl' Nico Robin... I'm right, aren't I?"
Brown Beard looked at Yeruashi and Robin with a smile, "But we're not interested in the bounty on the head, because me, the great pirate Brownbeard, with a bounty on the head of 40 million, I won't be able to get it! Just give away your winnings!!!"
Yeruashi didn't seem to be paying attention to Brownbeard as he continued to walk slowly forward, talking quietly to Robin, "The future has infinite choices, it's not predetermined."
"Everyone has the right to choose, but once the choice is made, the future will be decided by becoming the present, because you don't have enough power to change the 'present'."
Beardedbeard frowned slightly, unable to understand the meaning of Yeruashi's words, but seeing that he was still walking forward as if nothing, the pirate snorted coldly, not intending to listen to this nonsense any longer, and pointed the barrel of a large gun at Yeruashi.
"Hmm, if you want to die, then I'll do you a favor!"
"You bastard!!!"
Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!
Accompanied by a shout from Beardybeard, the surrounding pirates aimed their weapons at the Yeruashi and opened fire.
A barrage of black bullets rushed towards Yeruashi, intending to turn his body into a sieve.
But...
All these bullets failed to hit his body.
A large number of black bullets froze in the air a few meters away from Yeruashi's body, as if they had hit an invisible wall and could not advance even a millimeter.
