Chapter 181 The Ace of Spades Lives Up to Its Name
On the other side, Law was unrecognizable, and Ace seemed unable to understand the cards, with no discernible basis for his expression.
Stella and Baccarat's deck is almost guaranteed to be incredibly strong. Baccarat's blessed golden hand is practically indestructible.
As luck would have it, Stella went first in this round. She started with a straight, the highest possible straight!
That's absolutely unfair!
Amidst cries of "No!" one after another, Bakara was determined to fight to the bitter end. Stella covered her mouth and laughed, saying to Bakara, "Should we go easy on her?"
“Then let’s do as Miss Stella says.” Baccarat withdrew the card she was about to play and handed the decision over to Stella.
Stella looked at the opposite side, then at Yu, and finally decided to play the smallest pair—a checkmark.
"..." Silence is Cambridge tonight.
Yu, as Stella's next player, was in a tough spot. She had a lot of weak cards, but she had no choice but to play them.
When it was Stella's turn again, she wanted to let the opponent win, but with the remaining thirteen cards, it seemed impossible to let the opponent win no matter how she played them.
“Little Wang is right.” Stella said lightly, passing Luo’s card down.
Yu wanted to play a card, but she only had one King in her hand. She had a bomb, but that was all she had.
Suddenly, he looked up and asked Law across from him, "Do you have a king? If so, trade your abilities for one."
Luo gave her a deep look and told her no, which completely put Yu's mind at ease. Ace looked at Yu, then at Luo, still confused.
"Should we suppress it or not?" Yu turned his head to ask Katakuri, unsure of what to do and seeking his help.
Katakuri whispered, "She only has bombs left." This meant that Stella should play all her cards first, leaving her and Law against Tesoro.
Yu nodded, but was shocked by how outrageous the cards Bakala had drawn were. Twelve straights, two pairs, and eleven cards left, with only bombs remaining. That meant either a five-bomb, a six-bomb, or a four-bomb or a seven-bomb.
No one could play a card, and Stella and Baccarat's team were the first to run out of cards. With no one able to catch the final bomb, it was Tezzolo's turn to play.
Tezzo didn't have a magic touch like Baccarat; he could only rely on his own sharp mind to win.
But Yu wasn't flustered at all. After all, Katakuri, the prophet, wasn't exactly a lucky charm.
Three people, four rounds, and Tezzolo, heartbroken, only played one card.
It was Yu's turn to play again, and Tesoro stared intently at the card she played. Finally, Tesoro let out a desperate scream, "You played the card I was supposed to play!"
Yu couldn't hold back any longer. Looking at his frustrated expression, Yu felt that she might have gone a bit too far, but it was really fun.
This was largely thanks to Katakuri. Every time it was their turn to play a card, he would use his Observation Haki to see into the future and then play a card that was bigger than Tesoro's, or the card he was going to play. It was also fortunate that Yu's own cards weren't too bad.
Tezzolo felt frustrated and sad.
Not only did he not play a single card, but he also had to watch Yu and Katakuri whispering to each other and smiling sweetly.
And him? His wife was across from him, while Mr. Tanaka beside him just kept chuckling. That's so unfair!
Yu blocked Tesoro's card once again, and Law also successfully played all his cards. Next up was Yu, who also had his last card; the outcome was obvious.
One warm-up match completely ignited Tesoro's competitive spirit. Of course, he wasn't the only one; Ace, watching from the sidelines, also seemed to be having a lot of fun, even though he didn't quite understand it.
In the second round, Law took the cards first. But this time, Ace wanted to get involved and tried to help him take the cards.
Ace held the cards for a while, then suddenly realized something was wrong. Why were there so many cards? He clearly remembered that his cards didn't have many of the same number; they were all different.
I was confused, but I still needed to keep drawing cards, so I stopped thinking about it.
Yu and Luo played very smoothly in this round, and even Bakura, who had excellent luck, was suppressed and unable to play her cards properly.
Yu ate fruit, gleefully watching the cards in Katakuri's hand. Hehe, with the combination of Observation Haki and the Op-Op Fruit's power, even Bakura's cheat ability is useless.
Having learned his lesson from the first game, Law secretly used his ability in the second game to switch the cards that Baccarat was supposed to take into his own hand or Yu's.
The cards they got this round were really good.
For several rounds in a row, Luo did the same thing. Gradually, Bakala also realized what was happening. After a round ended, everyone leaned back in their chairs, some eating fruit, others stretching.
Baccarat casually walked past Luo from behind and then reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
By the time he realized the problem, it was too late. Law suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, then gave his seat to Ace and ran out.
“Bakala, you’re so mean,” Yu said.
Ace was slightly excited; it was his turn to take the stage!
A new round began, and Luo only returned after all the cards had been drawn. Seeing Ace's skillful and adept handling of the cards, he sat down in the seat next to him.
The cards on the table were almost all played, but Ace's hand was completely black, and judging by the number, it seemed like he hadn't played many cards.
"Ace, quick, quick, is there a bomb? We need to take him down!" Yu rushed over, his voice trembling with excitement.
Kakashi told her that Tesoro had no high cards left, only a pair. Yu had the same in her hand, but now Tesoro had a bomb, so Yu couldn't play the card she originally planned.
Tesoro was not happy. "If he had a bomb, he would have blown it up long ago." Tesoro kept his eyes on Yu and Ace. He was determined to make up for all the trouble he had suffered from not being able to play his cards earlier!
He's going to make a comeback!
"How many bombs do you want?" Ace asked, counting his cards, a question that surprised everyone present.
"Hahahaha, look, he even has to count whether he's explosive enough!" Tesoro laughed so hard he fell backward, clutching his stomach repeatedly.
Yu was still indignant, thinking, "Any four of those from the top nine could blow this up." Although she had already given up hope.
"Four will do." Ace drew four cards and placed them on Tesoro's deck of bombs.
"Four A's".
The desktop suddenly fell silent, and Tesoro's smile vanished. He straightened himself, looked at his four Aces, and exclaimed in disbelief, "No way, you've got a bombshell!"
"Wow, my brother is amazing. It's not that he didn't have any bombs, it's just a matter of how many he used to bomb you." The smile shifted to Yu's face. "Ace truly deserves to be called the ACE."
"Hmph, it's just a bomb. He still has so many cards. The three of us combined don't even have as many as him," Tesoro said, unconvinced.
That's true. Ace really does have a lot of cards left. None of the three of them have more than five cards in their hands, so they always manage to play all their cards before he does.
"Ace, ignore him, you play your card." Yu thought it best to let Ace play his own card; as long as he's happy.
Ace held the cards in both hands, waiting for them to appear, thinking it over and over, and finally still pondering.
Luo, unable to bear it any longer, said, "If you really like it, take it with you and add it to your collection after you're done."
Ace's cards weren't bad, that's why he didn't play them; they were just too much to his liking.
All spades, and eight aces.
What incredible luck!
"Playing any card will disrupt the formation." I'm torn, extremely torn.
Luo glanced at Ace, then at Yu across from him, and slowly said, "Nai-san, his not playing a card is because..."
"I'm playing, I'm playing!" Ace no longer dared to admire his pure suit of spades, and started throwing cards out in a flurry.
Apart from Ace and Law, everyone else only saw Ace throw out a long straight of eleven black cards, and then two planes took off.
"No, you didn't play that card just now?" Tesoro was dumbfounded. This kid had such a good hand, and he was just letting him win? He'd been having a good time for nothing.
Yu watched Ace play his cards, and he and Katakuri remained calm and composed, looking completely confident of victory.
"Oh dear, Lord Ace is not to be underestimated." Baccarat rested her chin on her hand, not in a hurry at all, and Stella was just as leisurely.
The world where only Tesoro is unhappy has been achieved.
