Chapter 69: The Auction Venue
Robin watched with a slight surprise as Kaede Ye brought down the two men from the World Government's ship.
Doflamingo is still very young now, and most of the time he is active in the underground world, and the Seven Martial Seas system has not yet appeared, so his bounty and fame in the surface world are not very large, and Robin has not been able to recognize it.
But Stussy is dressed as a member of CP0.
"Got two guides."
Feng Ye smiled, casually pointed to Doflamingo next to him, and said, "This is Xiao Tang, and that side is Stussy, and they are both relatively familiar with this country." ”
Robin glanced at Doflamingo, then ignored him.
Although Doflamingo wears flamingo glasses and doesn't look like a good person at first glance, there's nothing to care about.
Stussy next to him is different, with a slender figure and delicate face, exuding the charm of a mature woman, with a hint of luster in her sapphire-like pupils.
This woman is dangerous.
Although Kaede Night should prefer to be younger, there is an instinctive attraction between men and women, so it is dangerous for a woman with an elegant posture like Stussy.
After giving Robin a brief introduction to Doflamingo and Stussy, Kaede introduced Robin again and said, "Robin, my crew, you should all know each other. ”
"Hmmm......"
Stussy nodded.
As CP0, she naturally knows Robin, the only survivor of O'Hara, defined by the World Government as a being wanted by the Son of the Devil.
In fact, the conflict between the world government and Kaede Night can be traced back to the original cause because Kaede Night took in Robin, which led to a series of conflicts.
If it were an ordinary person, he could directly draw a judgment now, that is, Robin was a very important person to Kaede Night, but now he can't make this judgment directly.
The reason is simple,
For ordinary people, it is undoubtedly necessary to pay decisive will and ideas for the sake of a person to confront the world government, but for an existence like Kaede Night, the world government may not have paid attention to it at all, just like a gangster who can deal with it casually on the side of the road.
His own crew was bullied by the thugs, so he naturally slapped him back.
Although it seems extremely strange to describe the world government that has ruled the world for 800 years and really controls the world, based on what Stussy knows, this may really be the case!
Although she was not in the Holy Land Mary Joya at the time, as CP0, she was equally aware of the horror of Kaede Night, and it was not wrong to say that she was the most terrible person in the world!
Truly......
Not human......
Stussy murmured in his heart.
The strength is exaggerated to a terrifying level, and the appearance is almost the most handsome of the men she has ever seen, and the temperament and demeanor are also elegant, the combination of these things is simply unreasonable, and there should be no such human beings in the world.
"The most famous place in the Kingdom of Prodes is their gladiatorial arena, which is called the largest in the world, and there are performances every day from morning to night, in addition to human gladiatorial battles, there are also duels between humans and beasts......
Kaede Ye and the four of them walked towards the island, and Doflamingo began to briefly introduce the situation of the Kingdom of Prodeens.
Noticing that neither Kaede nor Robin showed any interest, he continued, "In addition to the gladiatorial arena, this country still retains many remnants from ancient times, and the scenery is also spectacular, which is worth admiring for outsiders. ”
"Remnants of antiquity?"
Robin's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "It's worth a look." ”
She looked up at Kaede.
Feng Ye smiled slightly, looked at Doflamingo, and said, "Let's go eat something first, and then go over and have a look, and then you will lead the way, Xiao Tang." ”
“…… Good. ”
Doflamingo replied a little unnaturally.
Even now, he wasn't quite comfortable with the title, but when he thought about it, it was better than calling Xiao Duo or Xiao Ming, Doflamingo comforted himself.
The group walked towards the interior of the kingdom of Prodeens.
Doflamingo and Stussy are okay, Stussy basically can't tell that he is a member of CP0 after taking off his white cloak, but Kaede Night is still too eye-catching, and after being noticed and recognized, it immediately causes a horrified gaze.
So Kaede Ye used a method that she had been using before, and released a continuous illusion on herself, and the effect of this illusion was to reduce the sense of existence.
After all, he is a person who prefers to be quiet.
……
Each country on the Great Voyage is basically different, and the customs and landforms, including the food, are also different, and the food in some places is very much to the taste of Kaede Night.
The snacks here in Prodeens are very good, and the flavor is unique.
After tasting it, the group soon came to an area located on the northeast side of the Kingdom of Prodeens, and when they entered here, they could clearly feel that the style of the building was much older.
"Actually, it was the poorest place in the country in the first place."
Stussy looked around and whispered, "The poor don't have the money to build new houses, so they have to live in these old and dilapidated buildings. ”
Doflamingo took over the topic, smiled a little wickedly, and said, "But then the old buildings here became less and less, and gradually became rarer, and began to attract people to buy them, and now they have become a place where nobles and rich people live. ”
"It is precisely because of this that these relics have been preserved, because they are a symbol of status for the nobles and the rich."
Robin was carefully observing a very old building, and when he heard Doflamingo's words, he said, "If you say that, you can still owe this precious history to these noble and rich people." ”
Doflamingo glanced around a little mockingly, and said, "That's it, but in fact these are just the playthings of the nobility, and that's where the value of history lies." ”
"Nope."
Robin looked at Doflamingo and said, "The preciousness of history cannot be measured by simple value. ”
Doflamingo chuckled, trying to retort something, but suddenly noticed Kaede's eyes looking at him.
Seeing Kaede's kind gaze, Doflamingo's voice paused, then looked at Robin and said, "...... Well, you're right, history is indeed something of value. ”
"There seems to be a lot of people gathered in front of you?"
Kaede Night withdrew her gaze from Doflamingo, and looked somewhere ahead, where there was a large old building, like an open-air gladiatorial arena, but it was very dilapidated and ancient.
Stussy looked in the direction of Kaede Night and said, "It was originally a gladiatorial arena, but it was abandoned a long time ago, and now it is used as an auction venue, where some good things from the sea will be auctioned, and famous swords and devil fruits will occasionally appear." ”
"Oh, let's go check it out."
After Kaede Ye came to this world, although he came into contact with various Devil Fruit abilities, he had not seen a Devil Fruit yet.
Devil Fruits are common, and they can be said to be very common on the Great Voyage, but if they are rare, they are actually very rare, and if you are unlucky, you can't just encounter them.
The Holy Land Mary Joya should have some devil fruits, but he basically destroyed them all after a Shinra Heavenly Expedition, and he didn't bother to look for fragments in the ruins at that time, after all, the destruction was all destroyed, and it would be undignified to rummage through the ruins again.
