Chapter 189 (1/2)
After listening to Lao K's story, Ian also understood.
Although it's not known which senior official of the G5 branch coerced Lao K, there is no doubt that he has become a white glove to help others make money.
It's not the first time that Ian has met the dark side of the Navy. When he was in the East China Sea, the captain mouse was like this, and he also colluded with the pirates to help him get money. This kind of situation, without exception, exists in relatively remote places. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the Navy headquarters can't effectively supervise them. Naturally, these things will happen.
As for why the casinos are set up in such places, Ian speculates that there are two reasons. One is that the senior official of the G5 branch who asked Lao K to make money for him doesn't want to be too ostentatious. After all, they are still the Navy. Once they are found out to be behind the scenes, they will be removed by the Navy. The other is Lao K's own problem. In Ian's impression, they have the illusion of this ability, It's a rare type of magic fruit. Normally, if it's used well, it should be very powerful. It's just that Lao K's development of fruit ability is not good enough, which leads to his low combat effectiveness. If the gambling house is opened in a better place where money is paid every day, it's hard to guarantee that no one will be jealous and try to play with his idea of gambling house. Lao K may not be able to cover it at that time, So we can only choose a more remote island to bring disaster to the local residents on the island.
Knowing the whole story, Yi'an turned to Tenghu to see what he would do.
Teng Hu is afraid that he knows this, so he has never spoken. He just sits there thinking with his eyes closed. He has his own heart of justice. He can't bear that the residents of the island continue to be poisoned by the casino. But now, it seems that it's impossible to take the way of Lao K, the owner of the casino. As long as Lao K's partner is in the hands of the Navy, he can't leave the island, Even if he can destroy the casino, he can't stay on the island for long. As soon as he leaves, Lao K will build the casino.
So the key is still in the G5 Branch
However, no matter how lawless the G5 branch is, as long as their identity is still the Navy, it means that they want to be enemies with the Navy. As for going to reason, communicate and negotiate, not to mention anything. Ian is sure that it is not feasible to expect to go to reason with the G5 branch. Tenghu is very powerful. That's right, But his current identity is just a civilian. If Tenghu rashly goes to the G5 branch and asks them to cancel the casino, he will be arrested instead.
So Ian is very curious, don't know how Tenghu will choose.
He has been silent, waiting for Tenghu's thinking. He wants to see what kind of mentality Tenghu holds for becoming a pirate.
Yes, Ian has his own plan. He didn't think that he would meet Tenghu on this island by accident. So at the beginning, Ian just wanted to make some money in this casino and destroy it. As for the gamblers who lost all their family, Ian didn't have to be responsible for them.
The existence of Lao K's Casino is one of the factors, but it's also very important that these gamblers don't have willpower. Lao K's fruit ability only gives people an illusion, but it doesn't necessarily control people's psychology. Ian doesn't like gambling, so he thinks everyone should be responsible for his own behavior. He doesn't regard himself as a savior, All kinds of people have to think about saving.
