Chapter 28: The Auction with Undercurrents
Moria and Kane kept walking towards the auction island No. 1. At the same time, many people on Shabaodi Island were walking towards the auction house.
Moria looked at the magnificent auction hall in front of him and had to admit that he was really rich.
To describe it in one word, it is "luxury", which is much more luxurious than the auction house in the original book.
But now, this auction house is not Doflamingo's, after all, Mingge is still in the North Sea! However, later, the auction here became Doflamingo's business, but I don't know how he did it. Looking at the scale of this auction and the guards, the power behind it seems to be not weak.
Who cares, it has nothing to do with me. However, whether I should come to participate in it at that time, after all, this business is a lot of money!
Moria shook his head and kicked these irrelevant thoughts out of his mind.
Now, let's take a good look at the auction! It's still too far to think about these things now. Doflamingo is a Celestial Dragon, but I don't have this background. I have to deal with the Navy and the World Government. There are so many things here! Let's talk about it later.
Moria looked at the magnificent auction house and walked in with Kane.
Moria also got his number plate and found his seat. It was not too good, nor too bad. He waited quietly for the auction to start.
At the same time, people on the Sabaody Archipelago began to enter the auction one after another. Among them, there were nobles, pirates, bounty hunters, and even Moria saw people from the World Government. Of course, some of the important people went directly to the VIP seats from a special channel.
Moria couldn't see those people here, but Moria felt that there seemed to be some extraordinary people in the VIP seats!
In Moria's sense of observation, many people were very strong, and there were a few people who gave Moria the feeling that they were no less than Vice Admiral Tanzo who fought with Moria in Mumu Town.
Even in the VIP seats, when Moria's observation Haki swept over, the threat of Conqueror Haki came. This person's Conqueror Haki was very powerful, and his control was very strong. It only targeted several people who looked at him, and the others were not affected.
At this moment, Moria wanted to escape from here. After all, Moria had only felt this level of Conqueror Haki on Kaido. The irresistible dominance and the power of no resistance really impressed Moria.
However, the person only warned and took back the Conqueror Haki in a blink of an eye, but it also had a very prominent effect. Many of the people present were strong, and they looked at the VIP seat with fear, and they did not dare to use the observation Haki blatantly.
As the auction approached, more and more people came, and more and more people with strong strength. Some people had no seats because they came late, so they could only stand. But there was a pirate with a hateful personality. He was unwilling to stand behind and started fighting directly, causing chaos in the venue.
All the powerful people watched coldly to see how things would develop.
The man who was making trouble was quite powerful. Someone in the crowd soon said that he was a pirate with a bounty of 100 million Baileys.
Moria had the experience of the New World and knew how powerful this world was. So in Moria's opinion, the strength of this pirate was barely enough. If he was lucky, he could survive in the New World. If he was unlucky, he would only be cannon fodder. But in the first half of this great route, this kind of strength was already very good.
After knocking down dozens of ordinary guards, the pirate who made trouble became more arrogant. At the same time, many people in the seats began to get restless.
At this time, more guards emerged from the auction house, but these guards did not take action. Instead, they lined up to welcome someone's appearance.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, an old man finally walked out of the team, with wrinkles all over his face, a hunched body, and a cane, as if he would fall down at any time.
Moriah used his Observation Haki to feel the past, but he couldn't feel anything different about the old man. He was just an ordinary old man, but it turned out that the old man was very unusual, because as soon as the old man appeared, all the powerful people at the scene used their Observation Haki to inquire about the old man, and the scene became very tense.
The pirate saw that it was an old man who came out, and smiled very arrogantly.
"Old man, go to hell!"
When the pirate's attack was about to hit the old man, the woman present screamed and covered her eyes with her hands, fearing that she would see the scene of blood flowing. Even Moriah felt that if no one did it, the old man would die. After all, in Moriah's Observation Haki, this was just an ordinary old man who was about to be buried.
However, at this moment, the old man directly touched the pirate with the head of his cane, and then leaned on the cane again. This process was completed in the moment before the pirate's fist reached the old man's head.
"So fast."
Moria's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, surprised at the old man's reaction speed.
After being touched by the old man's cane, the pirate seemed to be frozen there, motionless, like a sculpture. The old man began to lean on his cane and slowly walked towards the center of the auction stage.
But according to Moria's perception, this pirate has not lost his breath of life and is still alive, but his whole body cannot move. He has lost consciousness and only his heart keeps beating. It can only be said that this pirate seems to have become a grown man. Like a vegetative state.
Devil fruit powers?
Moria thought silently in her heart,
Moreover, this feeling felt a little familiar to Moria. It seemed that he had this ability in the original work, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
If I can't remember it, I won't. Anyway, looking at the various people in the auction who are very interested in this old man, Moriah believes that this mystery will always be revealed.
Seeing more and more people, all kinds of powerful people began to gather in the auction house. Those who were stronger than Moria were no less than ten. The atmosphere became more and more weird, and many people were whispering to each other. , connected with something, all the characters are suspicious.
Some ordinary civilians and nobles felt something was wrong in the atmosphere and left the table one after another. However, it was quickly filled up. Although some people kept going out, the number of people in the auction did not decrease. The remaining ones were not confident in their own strength. Yes, there are wealthy people with special bodyguards, as well as people from all walks of life.
There was a mixed crowd in the auction house, and there was an undercurrent.
Moria looked at the various monsters and monsters in the auction house and smiled unconsciously.
Things are really getting interesting.
