Finally, the finals began.

The "World Tour Gladiator Tournament" is the top and most lively gladiatorial competition in the world of sailing. It has been held for many years. Every final, no matter where it is held, can attract countless enthusiastic gladiatorial fans and gamblers to watch the battle.

The United Chamber of Commerce had already set up a gambling betting platform half a month ago. Different from the regional preliminaries that can be overridden, the finals are much less tricky. All contestants have been pre-printed in the "Betting Manual"

》On the draw, the odds are also carefully calculated based on their past results.

In order to host the finals, the city of Eleusines opened the largest "Central Arena", which is a huge arena that can accommodate more than 300,000 spectators at the same time.

Tickets for the finals of the Gladiator Tour are in short supply, and even the tickets for the seats in the worst seats have already cost 50,000 quarks.

Of course, tightness is only a relative term. Scalpers will always have tickets in their hands. If viewers can't buy tickets, there is only one possibility, and that is because the price is not increased enough.

Raymond had a lot of money and bought tickets for everyone in the "Ghost Group" in a good location. Of course, it was the kind of place that was very close to the exit and not easily affected by the battle.

...

The draw results for the first round of matches came out a few days ago, and the organizers displayed the results and single-game odds on the big screen outside the arena.

There was a huge crowd outside the Central Arena,

All members of the "Ghost Group" have arrived.

Colin, Lulu and Sha Mao entered the arena first, while Raymond, a money-mad girl like Anna, went to visit the betting station.

Everyone knows that the Raymond man who is parading in the streets should be in prison at the moment. Therefore, the disguise he is currently wearing is that of a mysterious middle-aged man who has never been shown by the ghost group according to the Chamber of Commerce information.

Of course, they already knew that someone from the arena organizer was following them.

Anna held Raymond's arm all the way, looking around and enjoying the lively betting scene. They were just like ordinary gamblers, looking at the odds and then placing their bets. There was nothing suspicious about it.

The place.

"Sir, the red-haired woman just bought a match between 'Red Beard' and 'Barn' and bet 10,000 gold coins..."

"Sir, those two people bought another game between 'Unicorn' and 'Golden Hook Pirates', betting 20,000 gold coins..."

"Sir, they made a total of thirteen bets and spent a total of 800,000 gold coins..."

"Continue to watch and follow! Let everyone cheer up. Once you find that they have made a large bet on the 'Devil', report it immediately!"

"yes!"

"..."

There are too many big shots and rich people coming to the finals, and large bets are common. In order to ensure the privacy of gamblers, the United Chamber of Commerce has self-service betting terminals produced by Hex City at the betting site of the finals. Gamblers can make their own bets without going through a bettor.

Note.

While the people from the Chamber of Commerce were following Raymond, the gambler who had transformed into a divine tree puppet had already plunged into a certain self-service betting station.

The "Devil's" record of "ten consecutive wins" is not outstanding, not to mention his performance in the preliminaries is also unremarkable. Almost all ten games were narrow wins, so the odds are very high.

The odds of betting on him finishing in the top three are over 1 to 1,000.

However, Raymond knew that this arena would eventually be the center of the storm for Capone, the Revolutionary Army, the Navy, CP9... and that there would probably be a big mess before the top three were decided.

.

Therefore, you can only buy the outcome of a single game.

Stud, there is only one chance.

...

The first draw of "Devil" was the gladiator "One-Eyed Wolf" with eighteen consecutive victories.

This level of competition will be arranged in a very early position. As a warm-up venue for the finals, there will be relatively more people buying.

The odds of "Devil" in the first single game were 1:2.3. Although the odds of more than twice are already very impressive, that is not what Raymond wanted.

He chose to buy a compound bet with accurate round results, buying the "Devil" to defeat his opponent in twenty rounds, paying thirty for each round.

Raymond had a wise saying in his previous life: For 100% profit, capital dares to trample all human laws; for more than 300% profit, capital dares to commit any crime, and even risk hanging...

This wave of "picking up wool" is definitely risky, and the rewards are also very impressive.

The total funds he can allocate for betting now total about 15 billion gold coins.

To be on the safe side, Shenmu Puppet also made hundreds of split-match bets by triggering certain "early warnings" for extremely large bets that he didn't even know about.

The bet went smoothly, and no one noticed the wooden puppet disguised as a noble.

If you win this stud, the assets of the "Ghost Group" will increase thirty times, reaching an astonishing 450 billion gold coins, and you will truly become rich overnight.

This amount of money is enough to build a powerful voyage fleet!

Such a huge bet, even for the United Chamber of Commerce with deep pockets, must be a painful payment.

If it weren't for a top-level boss who was so powerful that he could draw almost any opponent and accurately determine the outcome of the round... If it weren't for this boss being so funny, he would put down his body and accompany him to make trouble... If it weren't for this

"Brother" Puius's territory, they won money and their lives were guaranteed...

With the right time, right place and right people, Raymond was destined to become rich for the second time.

...

This is the first time for the "Ghost Group" to have such a group activity, and everyone is very excited.

Even Lulu and Colin, who are nerds in scientific research, showed great interest.

Raymond and Anna pretended to bet a few times and then entered the stands to watch the game.

Lulu: "Captain, are you here?"

Raymond nodded and sat on the empty seat.

Colin asked mysteriously again: "Captain, is it done?"

Raymond nodded, his eyebrows lit up with joy. With this huge sum of money, the two gold-eating beasts couldn't be poor all day long, right?

Seeing his captain beaming with joy, it was obvious that he would make a lot of money this time. A glimmer of expectation appeared in Colin's eyes, and he said: "If it happens again this time, wouldn't it mean... that I will soon have more funds for research?"

"um, yes."

Hearing this tone, Raymond felt vaguely that something was wrong.

Sure enough, I heard Colin saying with excitement: "Captain, I have a big project, you must support me?"

Raymond's eyes twitched, and he felt a little guilty, and asked: "What project?"

Colin said: "Because of the teacher's accident, we suspended two super projects, the 'Ultimate Magic Energy Annihilation Device' and the 'Deep Sea Combat Mecha.' If there are enough funds, these two research projects can be put back on the schedule.

Well...if it really succeeds, our regiment will have the most powerful firepower deterrent in the world in the future!"

The names of these two projects are scary when you hear them.

Raymond's eyelids twitched when he heard that, and he asked weakly: "What is the approximate budget for your research...?"

Colin: "The teacher and I have almost completed the first phase of theoretical data testing. The actual production of the second phase will be about 100 billion gold coins. It is not easy to budget for the third phase in the future, so we can only make it first for the time being.

Besides..."

"..."

After hearing these words, Raymond suddenly felt hopeless.

Scientific research is indeed a road of no return, and the money that has not yet been obtained seems to be lost again.

...

"The 39th World Tour Arena Finals begins now!"

The host roared at the top of his lungs, and his voice echoed throughout the arena, "First of all, let me solemnly introduce our most distinguished adult to this competition..."

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to the direction of the host's finger.

At the highest point of the stand, in a special private room that was as magnificent as a royal palace, the fleshy guy of the "Golden Pig" Mammon was like a king, lazily waving to everyone in the audience.

In an instant, the entire arena erupted in cheers.

After the host introduced Valpo, he went directly to the topic.

"We invite you to enter the gladiatorial match..."

"Now, please allow me to briefly introduce the rules and prizes of this final. The first place contestant in the final will receive a prize of 10 billion gold coins, as well as the legendary super natural devil fruit [Fruit of the Sea]

!This is the top fruit that allowed Delos, the 'Pirate King', to gain super combat power. The second place received a prize of 5 billion, and won..."

"This time, the top three contestants will all receive mysterious prizes personally given by our extremely distinguished Mr. Valpo Mamen. It will be a super surprise that will shock everyone..."

As soon as the host finished speaking, the red silk cloth was unveiled on the podium beside the arena, and the covered prizes were revealed to the audience for the first time.

A mountain of gold coins and three strange fruits covered by magic.

The most eye-catching thing is naturally the blue fruit with wavy waves. This is the natural type [Fruit of the Sea]! And next to it is a fiery red mythical type [Hell's Three-Headed Dog Fruit], with a golden glow.

The superhuman type [Big Buddha Fruit]...

This scene made everyone in the arena excited again.

The prize in front of you is a rare treasure that would move even the world's top extraordinary people.

in the stands,

Raymond looked at the three super-powerful fruits that ranked high in the "Devil Fruit Illustrated Book" from a distance, with a touch of emotion in his eyes, and muttered in his heart: "Is this the super-powerful foundation of the Twelve Sages, so powerful?
