Chapter Eighty-Five: Shot
Two days passed quickly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Under the protection of Zhao Yun, Kent and his granddaughter did not encounter any accidents.
At this time, Zhao Yun was like an arrogant and unreasonable pirate style, and he directly scolded Capone's subordinates to lose their temper.
And because Capone wants to protect the finale of this auction, it is rare that he did not provoke Zhao Yun.
"As soon as this auction is over, I will personally take you to meet the wandering pirate named 'Zhao Yun'." Taking a deep puff on his cigar, Capone said to his trembling men. "'Zhao Yun'...... What a quirky name. ”
Zhao Yun didn't use any fake names, because Zhao Yun had just obtained his physical body not long ago, so it was impossible for anyone to know him at this time.
……
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the once-a-month 'Gold Digger' auction organized by the 'Ironstone Chamber of Commerce'!"
The auction was held as scheduled, and the host gave an enthusiastic explanation to the audience at the venue: "First of all, the No. 20 product, this is a famous knife of the '50 good and fast knife' level made by the master of 'Tra' himself - water marks!" ”
With only 20 items sold at a time, and the order of display is from back to front, Lot 1 is undoubtedly the most valuable item, or the most attractive item to bidders.
"Are you ......?"
Looking at Luo, who walked into the main gate and showed his VIP gold card, and his companions behind him, Teskai showed a trace of undetectable suspicion.
If he remembered correctly, the numbered VIP Gold card should have been given to Lance, who he met on the street that day, but the person holding the card at this time was someone else.
"Trafalgar Rowe."
Luo's answer was concise and to the point.
"It turned out to be the captain of the famous Hearts Pirates, and he was disrespectful, please here."
Soon reverted to his original form, and Tezkai showed his usual demeanor.
"It seems like those crew members were the same companions who stayed with the man named Lance that day." Glancing at Luo's companion, Kester was secretly a little more vigilant in his heart.
"Next is the 17th product, a pure and lovely beautiful girl - Corina!"
"What? You still sell people? ”
A random waiter was called, and a hint of displeasure flashed across Klatson's face.
"Uh...... That ......"
And the waiter's hesitant attitude made Clarson's already bad mood worse.
"Hey, friend, don't you know yet?"
The waiter didn't answer, but a guest on the side laughed and talked to Klasson.
Through exchanges, it was learned that the "Gold Digger" auction house not only sold all kinds of rare treasures or practical items, but also bought some people on the black market from time to time for auction.
It's just that because there is no coercion from the Celestial Dragons, the "Gold Digger" auction is not as rampant as the population auction of the Chambord Islands.
However, because the naval power here is not particularly strong, and the "Ironstone Chamber of Commerce" has its own intelligence network and secrecy methods, even if the world government explicitly prohibits human trafficking, this Ironstone Chamber of Commerce still makes a lot of money, and there are basically no accidents.
In fact, this is not an uncommon thing, in this One Piece world where there is no official global unity, similar things often happen one after another around the world.
Although he was very angry in his heart, the current Klasson was also an extremely rational person, so he also suppressed this anger and did not do anything out of the ordinary.
"That guy should be about to start, right?"
Muttering to himself, Klatson tried to distract himself.
……
"How's it going, did you find anything?"
The "Gold Digger" auction attracted most of the forces on the island and most of the forces of Capone and the Ironstone Guild, so Lance and the others took this opportunity to directly rely on various strange and unpredictable abilities to search for possible problems.
"I didn't find anything here......" Brooke sat on the ground, looking exhausted.
"Miss Ben didn't find any special prisoners." Carefully touching the fire spirit's head, Perona said.
Zhao Yun was not here, so the heavy responsibility of reconnaissance fell on the heads of Brooke and Perona, who could control the spirit body.
However, the results of the survey are not encouraging.
"It's not scientific......"
I really couldn't figure out what was wrong, and Lance frowned.
"Ironstone Chamber of Commerce, Capenbergi, Underworld, Fortified City Fruit Ability, Hostage, Competitive ...... with High Confidentiality Requirements"
With information about the matter filtered through his mind, Lance tried to sort it out through a brainstorming session.
"That's the only possibility......" A flash of light suddenly flashed in his brain, and the corners of Lance's mouth raised slightly.
……
"Now the auction is the No. 2 commodity, the 'artificial devil fruit' that is widely circulated on the black market, although it is not as good as the real devil fruit, but after eating, it will still bring incomparably powerful power to the eater, starting at 30 million Bailey!"
After all, it is not a pure Devil Fruit, and this artificial Devil Fruit is only an animal-based ability, so the starting price of the auctioneer is not particularly high.
"The next thing I'm going to introduce to you is the super hot items that everyone will be obsessed with in an instant!"
With the host's explanation, the stage of the auction was suddenly lit up and the band sang in unison!
"I believe that many people are eager for her, please look at this graceful figure!"
As the host's voice fell, the thick curtain was opened in an instant, directly revealing the final product behind the curtain.
It turned out to be a female mermaid locked in a transparent container!
The scene was in a state of boiling for a while.
Shouting, whistling, yelling, all kinds of voices are mixed together!
Even Luo, who has always been cold and calm, had a sudden shock in his heart at this time.
Luo has not heard the legend of mermaids, but he has never seen real mermaids, let alone selling mermaids.
In fact, if you want to get the most profit, the Ironstone Chamber of Commerce can completely take the mermaid to the Chambord Islands and sell it to the Celestial Dragons.
But Sharp, the president of the Ironstone Chamber of Commerce, didn't want to deal with the Draconians and didn't want to take all kinds of risks, so he chose to auction it at his own auction.
After investigation, it was learned that there were no sea thieves on the island who had enough strength to rob the mermaid and were interested in the mermaid, plus Capone's guards, so Fell was very confident in this auction.
However, just when everyone was bidding frantically, an explosion suddenly diverted everyone's attention!
