As you searched the crowded streets for some kind of gambling establishment, you quickly spotted a few small ones that look like houses that had been converted in a rush. While these might interest you, you soon found yourself on a long jampacked main street running straight through the town, rising up towards the palace in the distance.

And from there you could see it, in massive gold fluorescent lights the word "GREED" in spelt out across five cards arranged like a poker hand. The whole building could be seen to stretch right across the entire sector, though the sector did seem narrower at that end. It was as tall as the wall surrounding it, and could seen clearly from what seemed anywhere in the sector, it was kinda funny you hadn't noticed it before.

Judging from the various decorations littering it, it was clearly the casino you had been looking for, the mere fact it was named after the same person you had been looking for information on could be a good thing, right? Seems like the most logical place to go. Even from this distance, the large flashy entrance with the bouncers protecting could be seen.

Spades eyes widened when he finally noticed the large building, found it, he thought to himself as he started walking towards it. He quietly made his way through the crowded streets, trying to make himself as descrete as possible as to avoid all the annoying people. As he walked he could not help but wonder what type of person this Greed guy was. Well it was evident that he was Greedy if you look at the town and his name, but what type of person was he really. Was he just some random greedy guy or was he actually a smart guy who likes to scheme. Is he weak or is he strong? What does he look like? Thousands of questions were running through Spade´s mind, but at the end he could not help but smile. He was groing anxious, he really wanted to see who this Greed person was.

After snapping back to reality he noticed that he had arrived. He looked up at the large building infront of him, and then at the bouncers outside. Then with a warm smile he started heading towards the entrance, not only in hopes of finding this Greed character, but also making a quick buck gambling.

As you approached the doors, the large bouncers stepped forward in front of you. They looked you up and down quickly, though it was hard to notice this through their dark shades. They looked at each other then back at you. "You don't look like the people of this sector, not very rich looking," one said lowering his shades to look you in the eyes.

They stepped towards you again and cleared their throats. The one didn't talk before said, "We're going to have to see some evidence that you're carrying money, Rules of Greed state you must have money before entering his casino." As they stood talking to you, a poor thin looking fellow tried to sneak in behind them. One of them spotted him and grabbed him by the shoulder. You saw him being dragged away while the bouncer said, "We've told you before, Chris, you ain't getting in here cause you ain't got no money." The two disappeared into the alley across from the casino and cries of pain where soon heard from it.

The other bouncer snapped his fingers in front of you bring your attention back to him. "You got money or not?" he asked still staring into your eyes. It appeared you needed money to get anywhere in this sector.

Spade looked at the bouncers, paying little attention to the man who's screams where now echoing out from of the alleys out-back. He smiled, studying the bouncers, they seemed nervous but he was not about to go do anything now. He took out some of his money, the same bag that the little boy had managed to get ahold of before and showed it to them. "Will this suffice?" he asked with a rather distracted tone as if his mind was somewhere else. He then turned back his attention to the bouncer that had snapped his fingers, looking deep into his eyes, whilst waiting for an answer.

The bouncer snatched the bag out of your hand with one of his large grunny ones. He poked a single finger into it and quickly counted the money inside. "Feh," he grunted, "Not much but whatever." The bouncer threw the bag back towards you with enough force to make you recoil slightly when it hit your chest. Still he simply stood up straight again and ignored you from that point on.

As you walked through the doors of the casino, you where instantly intoxicated in a cloud of smoke from all the rich looking people smoking cigars at the entrance. The whole casino was full of people in expensive and flashy clothes who ran simply laughed and gambled their fortune away. The main floor was filled with Blackjack tables roulette tables while other strange and confusing games lined the walls around the main floor. With so many people around looking similar it would be hard to find Greed, though if he was greedy by nature and this was his casino the best way to draw him out would probably be to win some of his money.

The dealers around stared up at you, as did most of the "rich" folk. You hardly looked like one of them in your clothes. All around you where men dressed in suits and women in the finest dresses and you where wearing... you know. People chuckled as you walked past them and dealers smirked as if they saw you as an easy target.

Spade smiled as he walked past everyone, nodding to a few as a means of a friendly greeting. They all must think he was crazy, but he payed little attention to that. Instead his eyes were pealed for anything that seemed suspicious, although it was not obvious. Instead he made it seem as if though he was a total beginner, trying to learn some of the rules simply by watching. After a while however, he approached the dealer at what seemed to be a blackjack table and asked if he could join. He held his rather small sack of coins out in front of him most likely making him seem even more inexperienced.

The dealer looked down at the small sack of coins and smirked. He looked you up and down and chuckled quietly to himself. "By all means, join sir," he said in an unenthusiastic tone. As you showed the small bag of coins, the dealer raised an eyebrow and a few chuckles where heard around you. "It's 500 starting sir," the dealer said as you counted the money out your sack.

Soon enough the game got underway, and not to make it too obvious how it was going, three men where crying around you and the dealer was sweating buckets. "Blackjack, AGAIN!?" he screamed looking at your cards. The dealer cried a little and pushed another pile of money towards you. Guess it was your lucky day after all.

Though the winning streak starting drawing attention. As people gathered, two large goons pushed the crowd apart allowing a considerably smaller than them suited man through. He looked up at you with a growl on his face and said, "Who the hell is winning all me money!?"

Spade turned to look around as a crowd had suddenly appeared around him, guess they never seen a person win before, he smiled at his own little internal joke. However, his winning streak was not only drawing the attention of the average citizens, but also some of the more "dangerous" people. One of these, a smaller man wearing a rather expensive looking suit appeared, asking with a rather angry voice, who was winning all his money.

I guess Mr. Greed himself has finally shown himself, Spade thought to himself as he looked at the man. He didnt seem like much, but as he had just proven, looks can be deceiving. As the man asked once more about who was winning his money, Spade suddenly spoke up. "Ehhh I guess that will be me," he stated, acting a little dumb so as to appear as he had done nothing wrong.

Greed's eyes peered over you, seeming to read everything about you. He looked back at the dealer afterwards with an angry look on his face. "THAT's whose been winning all me money? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PLAYING AT!" Greed reached into his inner pocket and pulled out his revolver. The crowd of people in the casino gulped and looked away, but no-one screamed and ran. The dealer was sweating heavily and rose his hands up to plead, but it was already too late.

Greed let off a shot straight into the dealers head sending blood all over the blackjack table and a couple of people around. The dealer slumped onto the table and then onto the ground with a large hole in his head. Greed growled and then pointed his gun over at Spade. "YOU, GET OUT OF HERE NOW BEFORE I DO THE SAME TO YOU, AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TOUCHING THAT MONEY!"

The two guards next to Greed took a step forward and growled down at you. It seemed like you defiantly weren't welcome here.

Spade looked over at Greed his expression unchanged. He didnt really care what happened to the dealer, it was none of his businuess. Still he had earned that money fair and square, and as a gambler he wouldnt just let it get snatched from him. Extending out his arm he reached for the revolver, aiming to cover up the the end of it with his hand. Of course he would at the same time activate his Devil Fruit power around his hand. That way if Greed did happen to shoot, the gun would blow up in his face. Also the fact that he activated his Devil Fruit, meant that there was no way Greed would be able to get his gun away - of course this is all depending on whether Spade manages to actually grab ahold of the gun.
