Chapter 48: The Three Sisters of Nine Snake Island!
Whitebeard is now very strong and can be said to be the strongest man on the sea after Roger's death.
The difficulty of catching mermaids is already quite high. Coupled with the intimidating power of the Whitebeard Pirates, it can be said that young female mermaids are simply rare among the rare!
When this mermaid was bought by the Tianlong people, the transaction price reached a sky-high price of 1 billion beli!
With such an outrageous sky-high price, it is understandable that the auction house would not dare to escort the auction in person.
If the mermaid ran away for some reason during the escort, on the one hand they would suffer a huge loss of money, and what they were more worried about was that the Celestial Dragons would settle accounts with them.
When Wood, Gion and the others were sent out of the auction, the auction owner also breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the auction ended, he himself has been worried every day. After all, the Tianlong people have given the money, but the goods have not been taken away.
Directly under the Chambord Islands was the Fish-Man Island. He was also worried that there would be problems with the mermaids, so he even spent a lot of money to hire strong men on the island to guard the Tianlong cargo.
"My lords, I have prepared the boat for you, and the corresponding supplies are also available on the boat. This boat is not a valuable thing, so I will give it to you as a gift this time."
In order to send these slaves out of the Chambord Islands as soon as possible and avoid taking the blame if something went wrong, the owner of the slave auction also spent a lot of money. A medium-sized ketch was given away as soon as he said it would be given away.
"Thank you for the ship problem. These slaves also need to trouble you to help us transport them to the ship. After all, there are only two of us.
As for the slaves, please provide them with enough food and other supplies. You don’t want them to have any problems before they arrive at Mariejoia, right?”
"There are only two people responsible for escorting this time?" After hearing what Wood said, the owner of the auction was obviously stunned.
Originally, he thought that Wood and Gion were the two people in charge, but he didn't expect that they were the only ones responsible for escorting.
"It's true that there are only two of us responsible for escorting. Is there any problem with this?"
"No, no, the Tianlong people actually let the two of them come, so it means that the two of them are absolutely sure.
I was just wondering if you two need some crew, and if so, I'd be happy to help."
Seeing the cruel and unemotional look Gion gave him, the auction owner was obviously frightened. He secretly thought that the Tianlong people were indeed a bunch of moody guys.
"No, it's enough for the two of us. Just prepare enough food for us.
Remember, the food for those slaves must be of the highest quality, we don’t want these people to starve to death on the way before they get to Mariejoia!”
After a busy morning at the auction, the ship loaded with food and slaves was ready.
In order not to waste time, Gion and the others did not plan to stay any longer at the Chambord Islands, and directly chose to set sail for the Holy Land of Mariejoia.
"Bah, what the hell? It's just a lackey of the Celestial Dragons. It's like it's worth two to five or eight thousand!"
Seeing the ship sailing far enough away, the smile on the auction owner's face suddenly dropped, and he spat directly on the ground.
Those who can help the Tianlong people are mostly special intelligence organizations of the World Government. Originally, the owner of the auction also wanted to have a good relationship with Wood and the two.
See if you can get a good bid so that the auction will have more backers in the future.
Who would have known that he greeted him with a warm face, even when he was delivering ships and supplies, but he turned out to be cold-faced throughout the whole process, and even the look in the eyes of the woman between the two was cold enough to kill someone.
"Boss, you said they only have two people escorting the slaves, will there be any accidents?
You must know that there are quite a few murlocs who came to our auction to cause trouble before. They may not have strong fighting ability on the island, but if they go to the sea..."
"That's none of our business. The goods have already left the Chambord Islands, and they have officially taken over them.
Even if there is an accident, it is their own problem, and the Tianlong people cannot blame us."
On the medium-sized ketch, Gion was at the helm to control the course, while Wood was responsible for continuing to watch the surroundings and guarding the slaves on the deck.
Because they knew where they and others would be taken next, the faces of those locked in the iron cage were full of despair at this moment.
Even from their eyes, Wood could see that they had chosen to completely give up on their future.
The bad reputation of the Celestial Dragons is not a secret in the Chambord Islands. If they become slaves of ordinary people, there is still some hope of survival.
However, I have never heard of anyone who became a slave of the Celestial Dragons and survived or escaped successfully.
Rather than being tortured to death, it is better to choose to commit suicide now. However, it is a pity that they cannot even commit suicide now.
Gion was at the helm, and Wood was quite bored because he was alone on the deck, so he quickly tried to communicate with the people in the cages.
But it is a pity that all the people in the ten big iron cages either chose to ignore him completely because they had completely given up on their own lives, or they knew that he was a bastard of the Celestial Dragons and directly glared at him or cursed him.
.
"Sister, I'm hungry..."
"Be good Mary, someone will come to rescue us soon, and then we can eat a lot of delicious food back on the island."
"But sister, we are very hungry now. We have not had food for several days."
In the iron cage, a girl with long black hair, about eleven or twelve years old, who looks quite cute and sweet, is holding and comforting another blonde girl who looks younger than her. Next to them, squatting
He was looking at another green-haired girl of the same age.
Watching her sister comforting the youngest Mary, Sonia sat aside obediently.
She was a year or two older than Mary, and more sensible. She also knew that what her sister said was just to comfort them.
So much time has passed since they were abducted from the Kuja Pirates' ship, but no one from the Amazon Lily Kingdom has come looking for them at all.
In other words, the people of the Nine Snakes Pirates had no idea where they were being taken.
No, because the one who bought them was the world's noble Celestial Dragon. Even if the members of the Nine Snakes Pirates knew that they had been captured, no one would be able to save them now.
Sonia understands all these things, and she also knows that her sister is facing greater pressure now, so the sensible thing she can do now is not to cause trouble to her sister.
"What? It turns out you are hungry. No wonder why you don't say anything. Just wait, I will get you some food."
