"This is the renowned official casino ship of Port Verlington. and a beauty spa as well as anything else you can imagine." "Are those people all gamblers? and looking to have a night of dreams and excitement." "where is Dante?" "He doesn't seem to be around..." "This way." "Two pairs." "but I believe this hand is mine." "Three of a kind." "Dammit... no big deal..." "This game's just getting underway." "The fun's just beginning." "Yes." "I'm looking forward to it." "the more interesting it becomes..." "The same as a kiss. the likes of which you've never experienced before." "That's something to look forward to." "I'd better be careful not to lose the clothes off my back here!" "said to have a "Golden Arm." "The woman across the table is also famous." "It's said that she has the luck of a goddess." "She's known as "Lucky Amanda. a poker ace that they say can read people's thoughts." "but their eyes are burning with greed." "are we ready for another game?" "Paul." "He likes to gamble?" "he was a straight-and-narrow man before we got married... and got addicted to gambling." "Gambling is like a sickness." "But there's one big difference." "There is no medicine you can take to cure yourself of it." "You might as well just give up on him." "he could be killed!" "Come on..." "Dante." "Huh?" "You should always be nice to women." "but this job could be up your alley." "please." "Pass." "R-Raise." "I'll raise you 500." "Fold. --I'm dropping out too." "I'll call." "Call." "Three of a kind." "Nothing." "full house." "it looks like I'll go home with a bag full of money again tonight!" "so that's why you're "Santa Claus." It's a clever nickname." "Thank you." "let me treat you to breakfast." "as long as you're not thrown out by then for being flat broke." "don't we... have any of you heard of a gambler known as "King"?" "one hears about him quite a lot of late." "Apparently he's supposed to be a gambler from hell who takes the lives of his opponents." "Hmph!" "Nothing but silly rumors!" "They certainly are." "it is true that a certain number of gamblers have died after losing to him." "Who is this King?" "Some say he is an aged man with a white beard." "charming woman." "But the truth is that no one knows for sure." "wouldn't you love to try a game with them?" "King?" "Yes." "It's said he's a gambler who brings death." "There have been a number of well-known gamblers who've recently gone missing." "The only common thread is... and then they never came back." "Before long there were rumors all over the city with people saying that anyone who plays this "King" will end up dead." "this "King" could be a devil?" "I guess I gotta gamble with the devil." "You'd probably be better off not doing that." "you totally suck at gambling." "Can you recall how much money you owe me right now?" "That's just because I'm nice to the women when I play." "when are you gonna pay out for our game you lost to me earlier?" "I'm nice to the women and children." "But how do I find a guy when I don't even know what he looks like?" "it could take an infinite amount of time." "And infinite money. --Shut up." "A letter?" "It's an invitation to that luxury cruise ship turned casino operating in the next town over." "It was sent by "King." "it would be bad form not to accept." "you can grant that woman's request." "didn't you?" "Damn." "but he seems like a stuck-up snob." "But it's interesting. my reputation will soar even higher." "you'll eventually find out." "000." "Fold." "I'm out." "too." "I don't have enough chips." "I guess you'll just have to sit there and watch quietly." "I'll raise... 000." "Ohhh!" "The game is on!" "you." "You're shaking." "before you make your pretty wife cry?" "Leave me alone!" "Just be quiet!" "let's see 'em." "He's holding three of a kind... his face down card could give him a full house..." "Just to be safe..." "All ready." "I'm in for everything." "it's time for a showdown then." "Full house!" "F-Four of a kind!" "I..." "I did it..." "I won!" "I won!" "I won!" "Th-That's not..." "Sir?" "He's dead..." "Could this possibly mean that you are "King"?" "N-No!" "What are you saying?" "I..." "I'm..." "Just take it easy..." "Let's take a breather." "call the person in charge." "too." "sir." "that place is governed by Death's rules." "Maybe the rumors are true." "I wonder... and go to sleep." "aren't we arrogant..." "Maybe you're King?" "we'll know the truth soon enough." "This is going to be a lot of fun." "but don't you think you're the most likely to go broke next?" "The real pleasure of gambling is turning the tables completely in the final moments of the game." "What are you talking about?" "!" "aren't you?" "You're totally hopeless without me." "I'll take over from here." "Patty!" "Interesting..." "It's best to teach them just how cruel the world can be while they're still young." "You're..." "I didn't expect to see you here." "and I just had to come." "Are you that worried?" "I'm jealous." "It's okay." "Your husband hasn't lost anything." "at least..." "You're not going to go see him?" "No." "It's not like I could get him to stop anyway." "I see." "What?" "This child is really playing for him?" "This isn't a kid's game." "I'm not here for kids' games!" "So you can lose the pompous attitude until you beat me." "Deal the cards!" "What the hell... what's Patty doing here?" "there's nothing we can do about it." "Damn..." "Well?" "Did you figure out who this "King" is?" "Not yet." "He's a clever one." "I guess you just have to keep winning and stay in it until the end." "Guess so..." "It's a risky bet." "now isn't it?" "Be careful." "Sure." "make up your mind." "Are you in or are you out?" "but you've got a long way to go." "Time for a substitution." "Why!" "What the heck?" "!" "I was just getting warmed up!" "This is my job." "Man..." "Nice work." "but these people are good." "Dante's going to get eaten alive..." "That I don't doubt at all." "and that's a game he never loses at." "The only thing we can do now is have a coffee and pray he succeeds." "Fine then." "But I'll take tea." "Coffee's too bitter for me." "okay." "I fold." "eh?" "She's the only one who seems to have a decent hand this time." "she could have three of a kind..." "I'm finished." "she always plays with her hair when she's bluffing..." "She's not holding three of a kind." "It's a bluff!" "000." "I fold. --I fold." "You're smart boys-- 000." "All in." "young lady." "it's on." "I'm all in." "I call." "Grandpa." "Three of a kind." "I win." "So you did get me..." "Looks like senility is setting in for me." "Please excuse me." "The loser will silently take his leave from the stage." "Now we know for sure." "Someone here is "King." "Let's continue the game." "Interesting..." "But I won't lose out to anyone with my luck." "I'll annihilate this "King." "It's just not normal." "Don't any of these people think they can lose?" "Aren't they scared of dying?" "Straight flush..." "I win." "That can't be!" "I'm known as Lucky Amanda!" "How could I lose..." "That's another one." "Now it's..." "Yeah." "This is the end game." "I guess it comes down to you and me then." "I didn't think you'd be left standing this long... that would make me King!" "deal the cards!" "Here we go." "What's with these hands?" "each of them could be holding a royal straight flush?" "!" "That's not..." "All in." "You're still on your fourth card." "It looks like both of us have got a final attack to launch." "we showdown?" "Fine..." "So it's all or nothing." "I accept." "But I'm low on chips." "I'll pay the difference with my life." "Sound good?" "Done." "let's have that last card!" "it's a showdown!" "A king of hearts!" "That's a royal straight flush!" "And Dante?" "!" "Royal straight flush." "spades win." "S-Sara..." "I'm sorry..." "Morrison!" "Morrison?" "There's nothing in this world as interesting as gambling..." "Especially when people are betting their lives." "Dante?" "!" "It's the greatest!" "what are you doing?" "!" "the next game's against you." "The rules are simple." "wins." "Dante..." "Dante!" "Stop!" "Dante!" "isn't he?" "!" "Morrison!" "Let go!" "Dante!" "Congratulations." "I suppose that you are tonight's winner." "You... you're shot and killed by your own friend." "Not bad..." "It makes for quite a beautiful ending." "Stay back!" "So you're the devil... this King?" "!" "You're half right and half wrong." "What do you mean by that?" "It didn't matter who played the role of King." "Whoever held an item into which I bestowed my magical powers would be captivated by gambling in exchange for extraordinary luck." "And that person would act as King." "but maybe I was hoping for too much." "So it was a trap from the beginning?" "Please don't fret!" "you'll be as dead as he is." "and all the passengers on the ship!" "Sorry to spoil your party..." "But I've been waiting for this moment." "The moment when you showed your face to brag about your victory." "Dante!" "How did you..." "You're wondering if your magic failed on me?" "it worked just fine." "really..." "Patty?" "Dante." "or am I?" "Patty?" "!" "Stop it!" "And that's how I figured it out." "of King." "You were using this to turn regular people into King and control them." "So you just pretended to be possessed by its magic?" "I was entirely possessed by it." "stay in the game and ultimately draw you out." "It was a gamble." "didn't I?" "you grazed it a bit." "Practice your shooting." "Damn..." "I've got a lesson for you." "Gambling is something you do without intermediaries!" "you're a tough one." "You're not going to be able to harm me with weapons like that." "Okay then..." "How about this?" "Dante!" "King of hearts." "Ace of spades." "I win." "it was all part of your plan. then having Lady snap you out of it if push came to shove?" "didn't I?" "let's do this." "You sure sound confident." "You got some good cards?" "Hmmm..." "I'll pass this time." "I'll take three." "All right..." "let's see who's got what." "A full house!" "How do you like that?" "Royal straight flush." "I win." "We'll just tack your losses onto your debt." "Damn..." "The hell with this." "and fought for mankind." "he's a legendary hero." "he's the culprit of an inexcusable crime." "But..." "There may have been some devils out there who could understand my father's thinking." "I'd sure like to meet him."
