Soon after, Luffy and Zoro were feasting at a small restaurant.

Luffy stuffed pieces of meat into his mouth while slurring something to Zoro.

I don't know why, but Sauron could understand what he was going to say to himself.

"You're asking what I'm going to do, right?" Zoro saw Luffy nodding before he said, "It's nothing, if I run into the navy later, I will tell them this bit of information, in exchange for some money, then the bounty order is '??? It's going to be 'David Jones.'" ”

Luffy finally swallowed the piece of meat, "Zoro, do you still want to chop off that octopus monster's head?" ”

Sauron didn't answer.

He remembered the joy of Sheldstown's death of Monka and the joy of Orange Town's rout of the Bucky Pirates.

and Luffy wearing a straw hat in front of him.

There are also good and evil characters in the pirates, maybe their original purpose was not to punish the evil and eliminate the evil, but they indirectly caused this result.

Zoro's mentality changed slightly, and he didn't know how to answer Luffy, so he could only silently roll up the pasta with a fork and put it in his mouth.

-----------------

A merchant ship standing like a sword, sailing above the waves, followed by three smaller frigates.

This merchant ship is the famous "black market on the sea" - "Goddess of Commerce".

At this moment, an auction is being held in the Great Hall in the cabin.

It sells not only goods, but also species, including some good-looking humans, and if you're lucky, you may also encounter mermaids, a rare treasure in the East China Sea.

The audience was filled with people wearing masks and wigs, boarding the ship from different places, abiding by their principles, not asking each other for information, just for the auction.

Only Pele is here to show his strength.

The host, who was as slender as a bamboo pole, wearing a tuxedo and holding a microphone in his hand, walked to the display shelf on the stage and grabbed the black cloth covering it.

"Now!" He raised his voice, "It's the highlight of today's auction, and I'm sure many people are here for it." ”

With the rapid drumbeat, the host whetted the appetite of the audience, and everyone stretched their necks to find out.

The host jerked the black cloth open.

"It's our 'protagonist' today, the superhuman devil fruit 'Slippery Fruit'!"

After the black cloth was uncovered, the fruit on the exhibition shelf was exposed to everyone's field of vision, and it turned out to be a pink peach.

However, this pink peach has strange lines on it, which seems to confirm its good qualities.

"This is the Devil Fruit?"

"Yes, I read it in a special column in the World Economic News Agency."

"That bird's newspaper, can you believe it?"

Before everyone could react, the host immediately shouted loudly.

"The one with the highest price wins! The starting price, 100 million Bailey! ”

100 million Bailey is undoubtedly a huge amount of money, and it also confirms the rarity of the Devil Fruit.

However, the masked buyers came prepared and were not intimidated by the price, and after a brief period of deliberation, someone quickly increased the price.

"130 million Bailey!"

"150 million Bailey!"

"180 million Bailey!"

Buyers fell into the crowd of people to raise prices, and they all shouted out their anger when they slowly shouted prices.

They were all determined to win, glaring at each other.

Soon, the slippery fruit had been lifted to 240 million Baileys, and it was still being added.

However, there are still not as many big tycoons in the East China Sea as there are on the Great Voyage, and after 300 million Baileys, the number of competitors has obviously decreased significantly.

"360 million Baileys!"

A balding man with jeweled rings on his fingers and a handful of price increases, he could be the winner tonight.

He watched as there were fewer and fewer competitors, bit his cigar, and laughed.

Boom Boom –

At that moment, a strange dull sound came from far and near.

Thunder? It's raining?

Buyers didn't take it to heart.

The host didn't care, he was actively using words to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene, hoping to raise the price of this Devil Fruit higher.

"Is there a higher price? 360 million Bailey for the first time! Is there really no price increase? Devil Fruits aren't so easy to come by! ”

Bang –

Until a series of explosions came and interrupted the host's voice.

Bang bang bang –

The sound of shelling? This is not normal.

However, the people at the scene were still in a stable mood, because there were three escort ships around the Goddess of Commerce.

These three frigates are comparable to the combat power of the navy's warships, and it is believed that they are enough to protect their safety.

The rich man wearing the jewel ring wanted to raise the price again, but the sound was drowned out by the sound of artillery fire, and he couldn't help frowning a little angrily.

The tycoons at the scene also showed dissatisfaction.

The battle outside has interfered with their auction activities.

The host looked embarrassed and said, "Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, the auction is temporarily suspended, please wait a moment." ”

He glanced at the black-clad guards not far away, telling them to hurry up and check on the situation.

At this time, the audience also talked about it like a fryer.

"What's the situation, isn't it over yet?"

"It's noisy, those frigates are really a waste, and they haven't solved the enemy yet?"

"Alas, I'm not interested in the next auction."

Suddenly, the sound of artillery fire subsided.

Before the black-clad guards could run out, it seemed that the battle was over.

Ha ha.

The host put on a smiling face again, raised the microphone, and was about to speak.

Squeak –

Suddenly, the entire Goddess of Commerce and Trade shook, and the sudden movement caught the buyers in the audience off guard and fell a large area.

"Bastard, will you sail the boat?"

"My cane is broken! I bought it a while ago! ”

"If my wife twists her waist, I'll hire a gang to settle accounts with you!"

A curse was heard.

The host didn't have time to control the order of the scene when he heard a scream from the corner.

People are looking at it.

I saw that the hull of the ship had cracked at some point, and the torrential rain outside floated in.

The bottom of the Goddess of Commerce and Trade also appeared to be leaking, and the sea water poured in and was spitting into the Great Hall.

However, what really shocked everyone was a gloomy-looking black ship, and its bow was directly inserted into the Great Hall!

In other words, the black ship is like a knife that cuts through the tofu of the Goddess of Commerce!

"How could this happen?" The host was dumbfounded, and the microphone in his hand fell to the floor unconsciously, making a piercing buzzing sound.

Then, with lightning and thunder, a burst of arrogant laughter came out.

"Uncle Ben is on board!"

The buyers saw only a red, round nose emerging from the shadow, and then they saw a clown head floating in the air, painted with thick red lips, smiling at them!

Suddenly, they were all so frightened that they were going backwards.

Anyone in this atmosphere suddenly sees a person's head flying over, and they can't help but get goosebumps!

However, there was not only a clown head floating in the air, but also gloved hands, which flew like bats on the ceiling for a while, and then headed straight for the slippery fruit on the display shelf!

Its goal is to slippery fruit!

The host subconsciously stretched out his hands, wanting to protect the Devil Fruit.

Bang –

The next moment, gunshots rang out.

The presenter's head exploded, fell backwards, and slammed into the floor, causing another burst of screams.

The clown's hands snatched the slippery fruit with ease, and returned to the black ship with its head.

And in the bow of the black ship, there stood three figures.

On the far right is the clown who snatched the slippery fruit.

On the far left is a woman as fat as a black bear, carrying an iron rod that looks like it's not light.

Standing in the middle of them was a strange man in a tricorne hat, with a crab claw in his left hand and a pistol wrapped around his right tentacle, staring at them coldly, condescendingly.

The nearby guards finally reacted and raised their guns to shoot.

Bang bang bang –

The bullet landed on the sturdy black hull without a single trace.

A black-clothed guard hurriedly sacrificed a weapon similar to a bazooka and fired an armor-piercing bullet at the hull of the black ship!
