Chapter 53 The Auction Begins

As time went by.

The auction officially began.

When all the lights converged on one point, a middle-aged fat man who was dressed brightly and looked quite wealthy came out.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. I am the host of this auction, Scotta!"

"Next, we will start the most grand auction in Jersey Fran Island..."

This kind of long-winded talk is what the pirates hate to hear the most. As the host, Scotta naturally understood it and passed the opening remarks in two sentences.

"Okay, let's show our auction item No. 1 next!"

As his figure moved, the red cloth behind him slowly opened.

"I think everyone should have heard of the Kingdom of Tahitian? It was a country that was destroyed five years ago, but you may not know that there is still a survivor in the Kingdom of Tahitian. She is Princess Mayhana with royal blood!"

In the cage behind him, a beautiful woman with long light blue hair bowed her head and covered her face, as if she was sobbing.

The dancer's costume she wore showed her figure vividly, and the large area of ​​snow-white skin attracted attention.

Suddenly, the entire auction hall fell silent.

The sounds of swallowing saliva and heavy breathing were particularly obvious at this moment.

Hundreds of fiery eyes made the woman tremble and curl up, weak, pitiful and helpless.

Looking at the reactions of the crowd, Scotta, who was slightly sideways, curled up the corners of his mouth.

He knew that many people who came to the auction were attracted by the devil fruit.

Therefore, it was particularly important to know how to get them to turn their attention to the auction items in front.

And 99% of the people on the field were men, so women were the auction items that could attract them the most. With the buff of the beautiful princess of the fallen country, it would attract their attention even more.

Correspondingly, the subsequent auction items could also receive a certain degree of attention.

Seeing that the atmosphere was set in place, Scotta patted the microphone.

"Ahem, well, I think everyone is very interested in our beautiful Princess Mayhana. Next... the auction will officially begin, with a starting price of 500w Bailey!"

As soon as the voice fell, someone immediately raised a sign.

"Okay, this gentleman offered 6 million Baileys, is there anything higher?"

"7 million Baileys, is there anything higher?"

"Oh, this lady actually offered 10 million Baileys, is there anything higher?"

"This one..."

As the signs were raised and lowered one after another, finally, Mayhana was auctioned at a super high price of 40 million.

And the person who auctioned her was actually Resia.

"Interesting!"

Under the mask, Luo Di's only exposed eyes quietly looked at Resia's back, and a trace of deep thought flashed across his eyes.

"However, it's not a good idea to wait like this. It would be great if I could know where the devil fruit and the Adam's Wood are!"

To be honest, Luo Di couldn't wait any longer.

It takes more than ten minutes to bid on just one auction item, and there are dozens of auction items to come. This will take until the evening?

Moreover, he had an inexplicable feeling that staying here all the time might cause trouble.

Because this place is too chaotic, various forces are intertwined, and there are extremely unstable pirates.

The most important thing is that the navy didn't show up!

The information Lafayette had found on the warship before said that two vice admirals from the Navy Headquarters would arrive, but the Navy still hadn't shown up, which made Luo Di suspicious.

"If we delay, something will happen. It seems we have to speed up!"

Then, the Observation Haki released and completely covered the entire auction venue.

"There are several powerful auras behind!"

In addition to the main venue of the auction, Luo Di sensed several powerful auras from behind the auction table.

"It should be among those people!"

After locking the target, he led Lafayette out.

As soon as Luo Di and his team left, a tall man in a black robe hesitated for a moment, and then followed.

Arrived at the back of the auction venue.

In front of them was a locked door.

When Luo Di just pulled out Huang Quan and was about to break in, he suddenly stopped.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

"Look here, do ordinary doors have these strips embedded on them? Although it looks beautiful, this is just a back door. The front door is not that special. Why is the back door like this?"

As he said this, Luo Di touched his chin and squinted his eyes.

"Besides, this door is a vacuum, and it seems to be filled with some mechanical parts!"

Lafayette was not stupid either, and he understood it immediately.

"Then, go in from the top?"

Luo Di shook his head, and then strands of black energy lines penetrated into the door along the tiny gap in the door frame.

Then there was a "click" sound, and the door opened.

And those energy lines quickly rushed to Luo Di's forehead until they disappeared completely.

Lafayette was not surprised, he knew that it was the ability of Luo Di's devil fruit.

"Let's go!"

...

"Antu, since you don't plan to go back, why don't you follow me? With your strength and my brain, you can easily become an underground overlord in the West Sea."

In the lounge, Sham played with the black box containing the devil fruit and began to seduce Antu again.

During this time, Antu also figured it out. Instead of suffering, it is better to live a wonderful life.

He has been enduring that captain who is like Zhou Paopi for a long time.

It's just that he is more tolerant, so he has not exploded.

Besides, being a hegemon in a small place seems to be good.

After thinking it through, he nodded and agreed to Sham's proposal.

"Haha, Antu, that's right. If the two of us brothers join forces, who can stop us in the West Sea?"

"And these two devil fruits are our starting capital..."

However, he hadn't finished speaking yet.

The door was kicked hard by something, making a loud noise.

"Is there anyone?"

Inside the house, Sham and Antu looked at each other, and both saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.

After all, the auction of the third item has just begun, how could anyone come to them?

Is it to rob the thieves?

"Go and have a look!"

Antu nodded, put out the cigarette that he hadn't finished smoking in his mouth, walked slowly to the door, and just as he was about to open the door, he saw a knife inserted straight in along the crack of the door.

"The knife, it's wrapped with... Armament Haki!?"

Antu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was shocked. Then he quickly stepped back a few steps and came to a safer distance.

"What's wrong?"

Due to the perspective problem, Sham didn't see the knife, but just thought Antu's behavior was a bit strange.

Antu stared at the door. The knife had been put back, but the door lock was broken.

"Sham, put away the devil fruit, the person outside is not friendly, and he also has Armament Haki!"

His voice was full of solemnity, and he obviously felt the pressure.

...
