Block 1, auction venue.
More than a dozen rows of seats were already occupied by noble guests. Dashigi and Cotto were mixed in with them. Wearing hoods and holding bidding number plates in their hands, they were constantly observing their surroundings.
At this moment, the host in charge of the auction stood on the podium, holding the microphone, and began the opening ceremony of today's auction.
"Ladies and gentlemen! We have prepared a number of high-quality slaves for you this time."
"Everyone is so lucky, there are some super popular products this time. Of course, it will be kept secret for now. I sincerely hope that everyone can buy a slave that satisfies them!"
As soon as the words fell, the scene suddenly erupted into enthusiastic cheers.
"What kind of slaves are you going to buy this time?"
A noble sitting in front of Dashigi suddenly turned around and looked at the others.
"We have to buy someone stronger this time, preferably a male merman. The last human slave we bought was broken after just ten days of beating him, so we had to throw him into the sea to feed the sharks. Now that I think about it, I feel a little sorry for the money I spent." A woman smiled and spread her hands.
Another noble man clenched his fists excitedly, "I want to buy a few young and beautiful girls this time and keep them at home. They are really pleasing to the eyes."
The sounds of laughter and discussion soon filled the entire venue. Dashigi couldn't help but clench his fists upon seeing this, while Cotto, who was sitting next to him, also placed his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"This bunch of scum..."
"Hold on, Cotto, and think about what Vivian would do if she were in this situation."
"Vivian..."
He will definitely pretend to be indifferent and wait until the time is right and everything is under control before he takes action, right
Thinking of this, Couto's angry heart immediately calmed down.
"Before long, the entire Sabaody Archipelago will be plunged into chaos because of the admiral's arrival. The pirates and the navy will go to war. By then, no one will care about the slaves in the auction hall..."
Thinking this in his mind, he sat quietly in his seat and continued to watch the auction show.
Half an hour later.
"This time the product is a pirate captain! A man with a bounty of 17 million berries, Lacuba, famous for his powerful strategy on the sea! At the same time, his strong body is also one of the selling points this time. Not only can he be used as a guard pet, but he can also be used as a sandbag!"
The host was introducing on the stage, and the nobles in the audience laughed.
However, at this moment when everyone was laughing.
"Wow!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the tall young man who was standing on the stands just now fell to the ground without any warning, his eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness.
"What's going on?!"
"Why did you suddenly fall down?"
Seeing the bloodstains all over the stage, several screams were heard in the venue.
When Cotto saw this, he couldn't help but lower his head, his teeth grinding.
Of course he knew that the pirate just now did not want to live a life of being kept by others, so he bit his tongue and committed suicide on the spot.
But it was not because he felt sorry for the pirate, but because after watching this scene, he was deeply touched.
It was so serious that it almost made him question his own worldview.
I'm a navy...
Why on earth had I signed up for the Navy in the first place
Why, when I see something like this happening, I can't do anything to stop it
Is it just because all the people sitting in this auction are nobles, and even some Celestial Dragons
The more I think about it, the more confused I become.
at the same time.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Something unexpected happened just now. Next, we will bring you today's most special and popular product!"
As soon as he finished speaking, four auction employees pushed in a tank full of water from the backstage, and inside it was a female merman.
Similarly, the moment they saw this "commodity", all the nobles present swallowed their saliva involuntarily, and their hearts suddenly became boiling.
"It's Kemi!"
"Kami finally came out!"
"Ms. Kemi, we will definitely rescue you!"
Several voices suddenly came from behind, attracting the attention of Dashigi and Kuto.
"Is it the Straw Hat Pirates?" Cotto asked with his eyes wide open.
The Straw Hat Pirates actually came into the auction venue...
Now that’s great. I originally thought that these guys had heard the news that the general would come to the island and chose to escape, but I didn’t expect to meet them here.
"Then let's take this opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop." Cotto clenched his fists and made up his mind.
Since he couldn't control the Celestial Dragons, he had to at least capture the Straw Hat gang. Otherwise, he would not be able to continue serving in the navy.
"Then...with 20 million Baileys as the reserve price, the auction will officially begin! Is there anyone willing to bid?" the host continued.
As soon as she finished speaking, Nami, who was already prepared to use the 200 million berries on her ship to auction off Kimi, was about to raise the number plate in her hand, but at this moment.
"Three hundred million Baileys!"
Xia Lulia Palace, who was sitting in the middle of the first row, suddenly raised the number plate in her hand and said.
Everyone: ∑(O_O；)
Chopper: ┏(゜口゜;)┛
Nami: (⊙?⊙)
"How...how could it be."
The total money on the ship was only 200 million, but that guy offered 300 million as soon as he left. How could they redeem Kami
Sanji bit the cigarette in his mouth into pieces.
Chopper also clenched his fists tightly, his face full of anxiety.
"You've wasted your money again, Xia Lulia, by spending 300 million berries on a mermaid."
"Father, my brother recently bought a shark. Don't you think it would be interesting to put the mermaid in the pool together with the shark? After all, mermaids are the fastest swimming creatures in the world." Xia Luliagong covered her mouth and chuckled, her smile full of evil.
"Oh, right." Saint Rozward turned his head and looked at the bodyguard standing beside him. "Are the protections in place? Logt Larven, is that guy going to come to the auction venue to assassinate me again?"
"Don't worry, Lord Saint Rozward, I have dispatched two hundred people to guard outside the venue, and the navy from the headquarters will soon arrive. If Logt dares to show up at the venue again, I guarantee that he will never come back." The black-clad bodyguard replied in a low voice.
"Three hundred million Baileys for the first time!"
"Three hundred million Baileys for the second time!"
"300 million Baileys third..."
"I'll give you 500 million Baileys!"
Before he finished speaking, another voice suddenly came out, interrupting the host's action of hitting the wooden hammer.
