"Don't worry, Ishka, when the fair is over, you can play as you please."

Sabo stopped Ishka, and now everyone is heading for the fair, if they do it, it will make some pirates choose to leave, so it is better to wait for the expo to end and then wipe out all the pirates!

Under the gaze of countless people in the port, the warship stopped, Luffy and his party stepped into the port, and the reporters mixed in the crowd began to shoot continuously.

Their expressions were extremely excited, as if they had seen "Bailey".

In fact, it is precisely because of this that the youngest admiral candidate standing in front of them is the youngest admiral candidate, and Luffy and the three are also called the strongest in the world today!

"Let's go shopping separately."

Looking at the "lively" scene around them, Ace and Sabo decided to act separately to avoid crowds gathering together to attract attention.

Soto Square, a large square covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters, was originally the site of the Soto Kingdom's festivals.

Now the top of Soto Square has been completely turned into a peddler's territory, and thousands of pavings are neatly placed on this large square, and the goods are also dazzling.

After getting his naval non-commissioned officers to settle the warship, Luffy took Nami to the square.

The hospitality team sent by the royal family of the Soto Kingdom was also driven away by Luffy, and he didn't want a group of people to go shopping behind his ass.

"What a beautiful necklace."

As she walked, Nami looked at a beautiful necklace on the floor, and her eyes immediately lit up.

She was wearing ordinary clothes, although when she was in the navy, there were special people who would make beautiful clothes for Luffy and Nami, but Nami was not used to wearing those clothes at all.

In addition to military uniforms, they basically wear ordinary clothes that they bought.

So, if it weren't for someone who knew them, they really wouldn't be able to connect them to the naval supernova.

Nami walked over to the stall, and the owner of the stall was a fat man...

It seems that the frequency of fat people in this world is quite high.

Luffy looked at the stalls around him, seven of the ten stalls were fat, and three of them collapsed on the kang······

"Miss is really good-eyed, this is our sea... The treasure that the fleet fished out of the sea is rumored to be the personal ornament of the princess of a certain kingdom! ”

The fat boss rubbed his hands, squeezed out a funny smile, and tried to introduce his products.

Although he almost said that he was a pirate.

The exposition held by the Kingdom of Soto does not mind pirates participating, but there must be no arguments during the fair, and you must not disclose that you are pirates, otherwise you will be arrested by the royal guards.

In fact, no pirate dares to reveal his identity anymore.

In the East China Sea, pirates have given themselves the name of adventurers or treasure hunters, otherwise they will be suppressed by both the navy and the New World government forces, unless they have absolute confidence in their escape skills, no pirates dare to make trouble casually.

"So, how much?"

Namima held the necklace, the cold touch making it difficult for her to let go.

"Hmmm..." The fat boss's little eyes, which had no way to be seen, rolled, "Look at Miss, you like it so much, then I'll bear the pain, two million Baileys are good!" ”

"Two million Baileys? I think you might as well grab it. ”

Nami instantly began to complain, even if this necklace has the gimmick of the so-called princess of the kingdom's personal jewelry, it can only be worth 500,000 Bailey at most.

After all, this thing is not the princess herself, unless it is some guy with a special fetish, otherwise others must buy it back to wear it themselves or wear it for the woman they like, then it must be the material and style.

The price of two million quoted by this fat man is killing people.

Luffy on the side also began to help, but his gang made the fat man uncomfortable.

"This gentleman, if you don't buy it, you can leave. I don't have to sell it to you, do I? ”

Listening to Luffy's words, the fat man squeezed out a smile, with his previous temper, he basically went to see the king of the near sea who dared to talk like this.

But now there is no way, he can only endure it.

At least, he doesn't have the capital to challenge the rules of the Soto King's country!

Just after the fat man's words fell, the stall owners on the side suddenly burst out laughing, and their eyes were full of banter and ridicule when they looked at the fat man.

Where did this stupid ball come from, he didn't even know the current naval supernova and admiral candidates, not to mention flattery, he dared to slaughter these people, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

The fat man seemed to be aware of it, he keenly observed the surroundings, and then he squeezed out a smile again, "If this beautiful young lady really likes it, the price of 500,000 is actually not impossible." ”

Nami looked at Luffy in shock, she naturally knew that the fat man noticed that the identities of the two of them were not ordinary, so she chose to reduce the price.

Luffy squinted at the fat man, then he chuckled and threw half a hundred thousand Bailey to the fat man, and then he picked up the necklace from the fat man's booth and handed it to Nami.

"Since the stall owners have said 500,000 Bailey, then 500,000."

After the transaction was successful, the fat stall owner lowered his head and cleaned up the things on the stall and ran away.

In less than three minutes, the fat man's booth was occupied.

The fat man who ran away was caught by a group of people in a small alley, he looked at the navy standing at the two exits of the alley with a sad face, and then raised his hand unwillingly to surrender.

He is a pirate with a bounty of 3.5 million Bailey, and he can be regarded as a sea thief in the East China Sea, which has now entered peace, once he is caught by the navy, there will definitely be no shortage of labor reform that has started in 20 years.

It's just a momentary greed, but it has caused such a disaster, and the fat man regrets it!

······

······

"Let's go, let's go see what the Soto Kingdom is up to."

After accompanying Nami for a long time, the fair outside has reached its final moments.

The auction organized by the Kingdom of Soto has begun!

Once again, I came to Soto Square, and all the stalls, large and small, had disappeared and been replaced by rows and rows of seats.

In the center of the square is a wooden platform about one meter high and covering an area of dozens of square meters.

Behind the wooden platform was a large curtain, and Luffy knew that it was the place where the auction items were placed.

Underneath the wooden platform is the so-called "elegant seat".

There are ten gold filigree leather sofas in total, and there are fresh fruit bowls and wines that look expensive.

Behind the ten "private seats" are rows of benches, which should be the so-called VIP seats.

In the back, that is, at the outskirts of the square, there is a standing seat, and those who have no power or money can just stand here.

"Let's go, let's go say hello to an old friend."

Luffy took Nami and walked to the man who was sitting on the couch and silently looking at the Bible in his hand.

"Smack."

Bartholomy Bear closed the Bible in his hand and looked at Luffy sitting beside him with a smile on his face.

Some people who have already found their position tremble unconsciously, is this a collision between the strong?

"Luffy, long time no see."

"Haha, Uncle Xiong, it's you here this time."

Bartholomew Bear was originally recognized by the world government as the king's Seven Martial Seas, and he did quite well, originally preparing to "rebel" when the world government was ready to unload the mill and kill the donkey, so that the king's seven martial seas would completely become the power of the world government.

Oh, to be precise, he did not defect, but returned to his own camp, that is, the revolutionary army.

But the sudden disappearance of the World Government frustrates his original plan, so he naturally returns to the New World Government.

"You, what are you doing here?"

Xiong spoke calmly, and there was still a lot of blood left on the side of his seat.

Before, Big Bear had dealt with several pirate groups lightly, and everyone here couldn't afford to go to the "elegant seat" at all.

"Of course I'm here for that thing, it's true, we were all going to go to the New World to go around, but I didn't expect the East China Sea to make such a big show for me."

Luffy picked up the apple in the fruit bowl next to his seat and nibbled on it directly, he didn't say this to Big Bear, they really planned to go to Wanguo for a walk, because the scenery over there is really good.

BIGMOM HAS DONE A PRETTY PRETTY GOOD JOB AT LEAST WITH THAT.

However, as soon as the logbook of the Roger Pirates appeared, it directly attracted the attention of the world, and even now that the pirates were completely suppressed by the navy, the logbook of the Roger Pirates caused an uproar.

Luffy looked around, and many "familiar" faces had already arrived at the venue and chose to take their seats.

The bear didn't reply, just silently looked up at the wooden platform.

As time went on, the auction room was almost full.

But one thing is very strange is that there are only two people on the "elegant seat", and even the legendary [Runaway Admiral] Creek in the East China Sea is sitting very quietly on the bench.

One was Bartholomew Bear, who came on behalf of the New World Government.

The other is Luffy, who is here on behalf of the Navy.

Luffy turned his head and looked around, he didn't see Ace, shouldn't Ace appear at this time?

"Looks a little bad."

The corners of Soto III's mouth twitched as he walked into the venue, he didn't expect that even those pirates and people from the underground forces would have the courage to sit next to those two people.

Although this is the right choice.

Kath shook her husband's hand and sat down on the couch next to Luffy very dignifiedly.

"Oh, isn't this the princess of the Soto Kingdom?"

Nami was standing next to Luffy and nibbling on an apple, a little surprised.

In this auction, the royal family is actually involved?

The New World Government, the member countries of the New World Government, pirates, underground forces, and Luffy, the candidate for admiral, are all about to wipe out all the forces on the sea.

Luffy sat up straight, looking like today's auction was getting a little interesting.

Without letting Luffy wait long, the auctioneer came up, and everyone was in an uproar.

Because the auctioneer is none other than Soto III!!

"Distinguished guests from all over the world, I know that many of you have a grudge against each other. But now, please let go of the past holidays and let us end this fair perfectly. ”

Soto III waved his hand very loudly, and a pile of gold-trimmed signs was handed out.

Luffy looked at the sign in his hand.

Number Three!

Big Bear is number two!

This came in the order of seating, and Luffy didn't choose the number one on the left hand side of Big Bear, which showed signs that someone had sat on it.

"So, who's Number One?"

Nami looked at the number four in Queen Kess next to her with some amusement.

"Let's start the auction, the first one is a mansion in the capital of my Soto Kingdom, with a starting price of 500,000 Baileys, and each increase in price shall not be less than 10,000 Baileys."

Soto III had a small cart pushed up, and there were some documents on it, all of which were very formal title certificates.

The people below began to whisper that this auction item was not a good thing for outsiders, but it was an investment opportunity for people native to the Kingdom of Sotho.

"550,000 Bailey!"

"560,000 Bailey!"

"600,000 Bailey!"

······

According to Luffy's understanding, the land price in the capital of the Kingdom of Soto is still very high, after all, it is a strong country and very peaceful.

A mansion, at least more than one million, it seems that this first auction item is to be taken out to heat up.

Sure enough, the mansion was taken by a local nobleman for 970,000 Baileys.

The next lot in the second lot is a large deep blue gemstone.

Or the local aristocracy bid for it.

The third piece···

The fourth piece···

······

Luffy felt like he wanted to fall asleep, the auction had reached the eighteenth item, and the previous auction items had no way to attract Luffy's interest.

"Below, the eighteenth lot." Soto III took a sip of water and looked at the pirates who were already impatient.

"It is a 50% discount on the weapons of our Soto Kingdom, with a starting price of 10 million baileys, and each price increase shall not be less than 100,000 baileys."

Although the Kingdom of Soto is no longer engaged in the arms trade, if anyone wants to buy some weapons, the Kingdom of Soto is still happy to clear its stockpile.

"One thousand and a half million!"

As soon as Soto III put his hammer down, a bearded man stood up impatiently, and it looked like he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"Eleven million!"

"One hundred and thirty thousand!"

Looking at the pirates who kept bidding and won the red-eyed pirates, Luffy suddenly lost interest.

He didn't quite understand what was the use of these pirates screaming so fiercely, could it be that they thought that they could leave safely with this discount when he, the general candidate, was here?

No, no, there can't really be such a naïve pirate, right?

Or do they think that the New World government is too weak to mess with the territory of the member countries?

If that's the case, Luffy doesn't mind letting these guys change their minds about the New World Government.

They just respect the member countries, and not let them mess around!
