Chapter 619: Characters from all walks of life
The Golden City is both a city-state and an island.
Of course, it ended up being a boat......
The Grand Tezzolo!
This name is not creative at all, and it is as inferior to the name of a certain admiral in the Navy.
The whole large ship is ten kilometers long and about six kilometers wide at its widest point, and the boat is pulled by two huge pilot turtles.
Well, the location of the Golden City is not set in stone.
Occasionally, it will move around, after all, the climate of the sea, especially in the New World, is complex and changeable, and it needs to deal with this situation.
However, they are generally fixed in a certain area of the sea, and will not appear rashly on other people's territory.
It is easy to cause misunderstanding, and in serious cases, it may even lead to war.
Golden City is home to some of the most luxurious hotels in the world......
- King of Gold Hotel!
Located in the city's upscale VIP area, it is the only eight-star hotel in the world, and the entire hotel is made entirely of gold.
The gold used to build this hotel alone could buy many countries.
The guests who can stay in this hotel are either rich or expensive, or world-famous sea pirates, and ordinary people simply cannot afford to stay.
A night's room in an ordinary room here could be enough for a civilian family to live for several months.
The Golden King Hotel is the most central area of the city.
This auction was different from the previous ones, and it was not held in a normal area outside, but here.
In other words, the average person is not qualified to enter here at all.
In this way, some people who want to fish in troubled waters but are not strong enough are excluded, even pirates need enough strength to do it.
In addition, there are the major dark forces in the world, the nobles of various countries, and the big merchants.
The auction is a renovated theater in the hotel and can accommodate up to 800 people.
800 people may not seem like a lot, but if you think about the place where the theater is located, it is actually quite a lot more than you think.
In fact, there are many poor people living in this world, and there are far more rich people than imagined.
Those who have no money are really not rich, and those who have money are really rich!
This is not surprising, compared to Mawson's previous life, it is more exaggerated, about 5% of the people in this world own at least 95% of the world's wealth.
One Tezzolo alone owns almost 20% of the world's circulating Bailey, which shows how exaggerated this figure is.
Therefore, the reason why the vast majority of ordinary people become pirates is not because of the ethereal ONEPIECE and the so-called dream freedom of more illusory men, but simply because they can't live and can only go to sea to play.
If you lose, you lose your life, and it won't be worse than the original anyway, and if you win the bet, you can at least survive.
Since the day before yesterday, Baccarat, who was Tezzolo's deputy, was basically at the port to greet the big names from all over the world, mainly from the New World.
The Golden City has a special record book, which is used to record the powerful characters, nobles, and forces in this world, which are all VIPs belonging to the Golden City.
But in fact, not every VIP customer is eligible to be received by Baccarat, like the Straw Hats in the original plot as a sea thief with a bounty of more than one billion yuan.
And there is also Tezzolo's calculations in this.
……
The auction began to enter.
By this time, all the time has come.
Naturally, Baccarat led everyone to enter in an orderly manner, and each person who entered the city naturally had a different number to them according to their respective ranks.
On such an occasion, no one will make trouble, even if there is a situation where the number plate does not match the identity, you can only endure it, and no one who can enter here is a fool.
With such a large number of people present, it was natural that Bacarat alone was not enough, and in addition to her, there were 30 beautiful young maids dressed in neat dresses.
Mr. Tanaka, a police officer of the Golden City, also led dozens of security forces to maintain order.
The theater is divided into two floors.
There are only nine compartments in the upper floor, and those who can be invited here are all the top forces in this world.
In the past, there would have been a lot of empty space, but today it is a bit insufficient.
There are so many people coming!
There are too many people who have a background, and there are actually other people who have a lot of complaints about how to arrange it.
There is still a quarter of an hour left until the official start of three o'clock.
The 800-seat auction hall was already full, and the front stage was remodeled, with a golden auction table in the center.
Well, pure gold!
In fact, most of the parts including this auction house are all made of pure gold, revealing a vicious kryptonite aura everywhere.
I don't know how many people are complaining frantically in their hearts, their eyes are red, and they secretly hate why the person who owns this place is not themselves.
Of course, there are also many pirates with fierce glint in their eyes, obviously with some bad intentions.
The auction hasn't officially started yet, and many people below are whispering to each other.
On the most central stage, reporters from the world's major news newspapers kept flashing their cameras, recording the pictures in front of them.
As one of the world's top newspapers, they all have branches in the Golden City.
This is normal.
As the world's largest entertainment city, Golden City has a variety of news happening here every day, and many large newspaper groups have branches here.
"This time it's another big news, and it seems that the attraction of the dark fruit of nature to these big people is really not to be underestimated. Look over there, here are the famous Gambis Pirates in the New World, and that is their captain 'Bloody Hand' Vlad. Gambis, with a bounty of 250 million. ”
"Hey, this time the 'Bloody Hand' Gambis is not a big shot, you can see by looking at their position."
"Yes, this time there are big names here. If you look at the compartment on the left side of the second floor, there is the most famous usury king in the underworld. Field, in the compartment next to him is the largest organ dealer in the underworld, Gigura, who is the king of the underworld. ”
"I didn't expect these underground kings to also go out because of this fruit, you must know that they generally don't get out of the nest easily."
None of them deliberately lowered their voices, but they didn't have to worry about being heard by others in this messy auction hall.
Another reporter from another newspaper joined the group chat.
"Some time ago, the world's famous supernova also arrived, and the one over there was 'Haiming' Apu, and the one over there was 'Magician' Hawkins, and these are not good stubble."
"It's not just them, you look at the compartment on the right over there, the one with the spotted velvet hat is His Majesty Qiwuhai, 'Death Surgeon' Trafalgar. Gauze.
During this time, there were many pirates who were exterminated by His Highness the Seven Martial Seas, and among them, there were not many guys with a reward of more than 100 million. ”
"Near the one in the middle, the pineapple with the eyes on his head is the current deputy captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, 'Immortal Bird' Marco, and he actually came over too."
"Hehe, I also heard the news that His Excellency Admiral Mosen, the most powerful admiral of the Navy, has also arrived in the Golden City, I don't know if this news is accurate."
"Oh? You've heard about it, I've been informed before, but it hasn't been confirmed, and it would be even more lively if Admiral Mawson was here, because your Excellency is not a man who likes to play by the rules. ”
"I have a hunch that there will be big news!"
"Phew!"
"Is this still a hunch? If General Mawson appears, there will inevitably be real big news, and this is Your Excellency who has his own big news physique. ”
"I'm a little expecting General Mawson to show up."
“+1。”
Wow~~
As the words fell, many reporters became more excited.
To be honest, even if this place is the only neutral country in the world at the moment, no one knows if Mawson will do something if he appears here.
They work in the news media, and they know Mosen very well.
What can be compared with the appearance of that Excellency is the strength of the other party and the extraordinary willfulness.
The so-called willfulness means that it will not be constrained by the rules.
A corner of the seat.
'Haiming' Apu was placed next to Hawkins, they had dealt with each other in the Chambord Islands, and of course they were more often used to each other.
Although Apu has been music since elementary school, he does not have the temperament of an ordinary musician, but feels that his keys have the illusion of being incarnated as a keyboard.
This is actually a keyboard warrior.
Hawkins ignored the provocative and taunting Apu around him, and he took out his divination card to prepare for his own divination.
Although he divined every day these days, the results were different many times.
The divination cards are constantly changing positions in the air, exuding an aura of mystery.
Soon after.
He picked up the two cards in the middle, opened them and looked at them himself.
Muttered: "Did the chance of death go from 50% to 70%?" It seems that there have been some changes that I don't know about, but the chance of getting the Dark Fruit is still zero, and that hasn't changed. ”
"Well, wait a minute, and think about how to escape."
After speaking, ignoring the chattering Apu on the side, he reopened the divination card.
This is how to escape to find the 30% way to survive!
……
……
"Your Excellency Mawson, please rest assured that the room where the lots are placed is fully enclosed, and most of the lots this time are also placed here, only Mr. Tanaka can enter and exit, and he will take them out during the auction, and it will be absolutely foolproof to put them here."
Before the auction, according to the situation agreed at the beginning, this fruit was temporarily handed over to the Golden City side for safekeeping, and then Mr. Tanaka took it out at the time of the auction, and Mo Sen bid for it.
When the time comes, the fruit will naturally return to Mawson's hands.
Mawson nodded.
Strictly speaking, this Devil Fruit doesn't belong to him yet, but no one cares about it!
The merchant who was lucky enough to get this fruit was actually qualified to meet and trade directly with Mawson, and Mawson's bid would definitely satisfy him.
Unfortunately, he didn't know he had screwed it up.
Mawson already knew all the lots in this auction, and he was interested in one or two of them, and was ready to auction them in the normal process when the time came.
The Dark Fruit is naturally the finale of this auction.
Mr. Tanaka took the box containing the Dark Fruit and disappeared into the floor, and Mawson withdrew his gaze.
Tezzolo got up to say goodbye to Mawson, the auction was presided over by him, and he was getting closer and closer to the official start time, and he still needed to prepare for some time.
Only Mawson and ...... were left in the room Holding the ramen, he couldn't stop laughing.
This is his extra meal, in case he runs out of energy when he really wants to make a move.
Mawson thinks he is simply gluttonous!
"I heard that there are a lot of big people here this time, let's go, let's meet them......"
"After all, I don't know how many people have become a thing of the past after this time."
