The Champaody Islands are located in front of the Red Continent in the middle of the Grand Line, very close to Marineford, the headquarters of the Navy.
The largest mangrove in the world, the "Yalki Mangrove", has roots that are always exposed above the water, forming the Champaudi Islands.
The entire island is composed of 79 trees (all numbered), and each tree has towns and facilities.
Since it is the only way to the new world, many pirates, businessmen and bounty hunters gather here.
Of course, there are also many human traffickers, and the buying and selling of humans, merfolk and fishmen are tacitly allowed.
In a sense, the island is decayed.
That’s why some people call this place the “Island of Failure” and “The Island of Starting Again”.
Among them, areas 1 to 29 are lawless zones, mainly containing human trafficking shops, human auctions, etc.
What Abel is going to is the largest population auction house located in No. 1 Tree.
After the ship arrived at the designated location, Abel asked his deputy to notify the other party to inspect the goods.
Soon, a man with a mustache in charge came over with a group of his men.
"Products from the Don Quixote family?"
"right."
After meeting the person, Abel didn't waste any time and handed the transaction voucher directly to the other party. The other party took it and verified the authenticity before nodding.
He said to the person behind him: "There is nothing wrong with the transaction voucher, please inspect the goods."
Abel also signaled to his deputy to cooperate with the other party's work.
The slaves were taken off the ship one by one, and after a simple inspection to confirm that they were not sick or seriously injured, they locked their necks with explosive collars, put on black hoods, and took them aside.
There are also people specifically responsible for comparing lists, and everything is very streamlined.
Hundreds of slaves passed through them all very quickly.
"It's checked, there's no problem. This is the payment, please check it out."
After a while, the deputy nodded towards Abel, "There is no problem with the number."
"The money and goods are cleared, and the transaction is completed."
The other party had no nonsense and left immediately with these slaves.
There is no need to be polite at all. It would be more like Doflamingo coming in person. He is just a cadre and has seen too much.
Abel naturally enjoyed his leisure time.
Then he was not in a hurry to leave, but took people to District 40, where there is a tourist area, specialty shops and so on.
It’s a rare trip, so you can’t just go back empty-handed.
Others are also ready to make a move.
Following the old rules, Abel gave these guys some instructions, set a gathering time, and then announced their disbandment.
It is still left to the deputy to purchase supplies and such.
Bubble cars, bubble Ferris wheels, and houses built on bubbles. Bubble culture has penetrated almost every place here.
It’s dizzying and amazing!
Abel had a good time playing with Baby-5.
Of course, he didn't forget to call Doflamingo and report the good news that the mission was completed.
So as not to cause problems later and involve him again.
While Abel and Baby-5 were enjoying the Champaody Islands, Hancock and Yvette, who had disembarked early, were also secretly following the auction house group to look for opportunities to make a move.
"We can't wait any longer. If we go any further, we will reach the auction house, and we will be bumped into at any time."
"Okay, wait until I control them all before you come out."
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Hancock immediately went around to the front and stopped them.
"Who?"
I saw Hancock taking off the black robe used for disguise, revealing his stunning face and graceful figure wrapped in a high-cut cheongsam.
"Are you beautiful?"
Almost at the same time, except for the slaves who were wearing hoods and could not be seen, everyone in the auction house had their hearts beating faster and their eyes turned into love hearts.
It was also at this time that Hancock made a heart gesture towards everyone.
“Sweet and sweet wind!”
The pink love-shaped light instantly covered everyone, petrifying everyone in the auction house.
"Yvette, hurry!"
"I am coming."
Yvette immediately ran out, "This person is in charge. Let's undo his petrification first."
Hancock nodded immediately after hearing this, and then lifted the man's petrification.
Immediately afterwards, Yvette reached out her hand and reached directly into the guy's head, pulling out a series of film-like things.
And as the 'memory' was pulled out of his brain, the guy immediately fainted.
"Let me see, these memories are really disgusting. But forget it, let's get down to business first."
"Delete everything you just saw, and then overwrite the fabricated memories."
If Abel were standing here at this moment, he would definitely look extremely surprised.
In the original work, Brynn's memory fruit was actually obtained by Yvette?!
"Check it one last time, no problem, done!"
"Next."
Following the same pattern, Yvette tampered with the memories of 4 or 5 people in one breath before stopping.
On the one hand, the physical exertion is very high, and on the other hand, there is no need to modify everyone's memory. After all, the dead do not need to speak.
In order not to leave any evidence behind, Hancock lifted the petrifications one by one, while Yvette was responsible for finishing the wounds one by one.
Suddenly the team stopped and smelled blood, which made the slaves start to feel a little scared.
Yvette immediately said: "Don't be afraid, everyone, we are here to rescue you. Now let's excuse ourselves and follow us, and wait until we are in a safe place."
Although the slaves were dubious, at least they had renewed hope in their hearts.
After all, if they were slave traders, there would be no need to fabricate such lies to deceive them.
Then Yvette took away the key from the other party, and Hancock, who put on his black robe again, took all the slaves and quickly left the scene.
After an unknown amount of time, these people lying here were discovered by passers-by, and people from the auction house were called.
The supervisor of the auction house slapped his two big mouths and woke up the mustache who had completed the transaction with Abel before.
"Where's the goods? Where's the goods?"
"goods?"
Mustache was a little confused at first, but then his memory gradually became clear.
"The goods were stolen!"
"Who did it? Was it someone from the Don Quixote family who took advantage of the situation?"
"No, it was not done by anyone from the Don Quixote family. The transaction between us was completed smoothly."
"Who did that?!"
"It's a group of birdmen, yes, birdmen! I remembered that a group of strange people with wings and bird faces suddenly attacked us, and then captured all the slaves."
"Birdman? I really think you look like Birdman!"
The supervisor didn't believe the nonsense the other party said at all, but after asking several other people, they got the same answer.
This forced him to believe that birdmen really attacked them and took away the slaves.
But this answer is too stupid. Even if he is willing to believe it, the people above may not believe him.
"I don't care if it's a bird or a human bird, you must find this batch of goods for me, otherwise you will all die!"
