When the large handful of gold coins, exuding a rich pearlescent aura, rolled down the steps.
The rich people who were still waiting quietly for the auction to start could not resist the temptation of money.
One by one, they rushed forward to grab the scattered gold coins, completely disregarding their original reserved and noble image.
"Don't steal it, this is mine."
"Nonsense, I obviously saw it first, first come first served."
"Whoever can grab it is the one who has the ability."
With the appearance of these gold coins, there was quite a chaos at the scene.
But when these rich people, proudly carrying the gold coins they had snatched, looked back, they found that their seats were already occupied by Li Xiao and others. They couldn't help but be stunned, and then they could only compare.
Standing aside, some were on the verge of tears, waiting for the auction to officially begin.
A moderate chaos subsided with the collection of gold coins. At this time, Li Xiao and others had already settled down.
The scale of this auction house is indeed not small. At a glance, it is almost filled with more than two thousand people. In front of the auditorium, there is a huge circular stage, where people are working one after another.
The people were moving up and down, as if they were preparing for the official start of the auction.
The guards here are also very tight. Inside and outside the venue, there are soldiers wearing armor, holding spears, and fully equipped to guard here. There is a soldier ten steps away, scattered throughout the venue.
Of course, many people think this is unnecessary. After all, this is the property of Doflamingo, one of the current Shichibukai, and there are also shares owned by the Tianlong people. If anyone dares to cause trouble here, then according to Haijun's
The Dharma is to be prepared to die.
"Tap, step, step."
Not long after, two footsteps sounded slowly from outside the auction house, and those who walked in were the two Draco father and daughter they had just met on Pingmin Street. They were Roswad and
Shalulia and two people.
When the two people walked in, the atmosphere in the venue seemed to become solemn all of a sudden. The originally noisy voices suddenly became silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
Many people lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at him.
All of them were sitting upright and silent, not even daring to speak out, as if they were afraid that they would be targeted by the Celestial Dragons.
You must know that the Celestial Dragons are as supreme as existences on the Chambord Islands. If the Celestial Dragons are slightly dissatisfied, the consequences will be very serious. Therefore, when they see the Celestial Dragons, everyone will show their dissatisfaction.
A bit of fear.
The person in charge of the auction house led the way respectfully, fearing that something might go wrong. He was extremely cautious.
Roswad and Shalulia walked proudly on the steps, not caring about the people around them at all, until the two Celestial Dragons took their seats at the VIP seats near the stage.
When they came down, everyone let out a long sigh of relief.
"These Tianlong people are too arrogant."
Zoro's expression darkened, and a sinister look flashed across his sharp eyes.
"Having said that, these Tianlong people are so arrogant and domineering, it's not just a day or two."
Nami shook her head and sighed slightly.
After finishing speaking, Nami turned her head and looked at Li Xiao. At this time, she saw that Li Xiao was holding his hands on his chest and sitting there silently with an expressionless look on his face. No one knew.
, what exactly was he thinking in his heart.
…
"We won't wait for Charles, the auction will start now."
Rozwald urged the staff.
"Yes, Saint Roswader, following your instructions, it will begin soon."
The staff said respectfully that when ordinary people address a Celestial Dragon, a male Celestial Dragon should be followed by a saint, while a female Celestial Being should be addressed by a palace, in order to show their nobility and high status. The difference.
to ordinary people.
With the arrival of these two Tianlong people, the auction has officially begun. The surrounding lights suddenly went out and became dim, creating a mysterious atmosphere, and the bright magnesium light
The lights are projected in the center of the stage.
"I believe that everyone has been waiting for a long time. Please don't worry. I believe that today's products are definitely worth your wait."
A formally dressed host, holding a microphone in his hand, slowly walked out from the backstage.
His name is Disco, he is the host of the human pai store and one of Doflamingo's subordinates. His main responsibility is to be responsible for the auction work in the human pai store.
After a scripted opening speech, Disco began to introduce the products to be auctioned next.
"Today, our first auction is Drash, a pirate who was originally from the Mad Fighting Pirates. This guy is tall and powerful. Not only can he be used as a cow or a horse, but he can also be used when he is depressed.
It can also be used as a punching bag to relieve physical and mental stress."
The host's self-proclaimed humorous remarks made everyone present burst into laughter, but they completely ignored the extremely shameful and angry look on Drax's face on the stage.
Drash was tall and strong, and his body was sitting there like an iron tower. However, at this time, there was a collar around his neck, and he lowered his head in frustration, like a puppet, being worked on.
The personnel were put on the stage with expressions of despair on their faces.
It turned out that on the Great Line, they were also brave men who cut through the waves and rode freely. However, after being captured and coming to this human pai store, the little dignity they had as human beings had all disappeared.
In other words, the slaves who are sold as commodities here have long lost any dignity.
And those who participated in the auction did not feel any pity for this at all, as if the auctioneers were given a normal power by God.
Such a scene moved Luffy and Sanji who were in the audience, and they could not help but imagine that if they were captured and sent here, they would be treated as slaves.
Going through the same auction, I'm afraid the feeling of despair is definitely no less than that of the person on the stage.
Thinking of this, everyone felt somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts.
However, after the host's vigorous introduction and shouting, someone actually started to hold up the sign and started bidding. The price went up little by little. In the end, it was sold to a person for more than 16 million yuan.
A rich woman in gold and silver bought it.
This wealthy woman came to the backstage, and after completing the auction procedures, she looked at the new slave in front of her, with a look of satisfaction on her fat face with thick make-up, and then she took it.
The slave was led by one end of the chain and left in a swaggering manner under the watch of the staff.
The live auction is still continuing.
As a dark and decadent place on the Chambord Islands, the auction house here is not only limited to selling people, old men, strong men, beautiful women, and even people who have swallowed Devil Fruits,
Being a powerful pirate captain, being able to use the captain as a slave is not only a kind of enjoyment, but also a symbol of identity and status.
In addition, there are fishmen, mermaids, etc., including many strange species.
Among them, the mermaid is the most precious.
Because in the past massacres, the number of mermaids has suddenly shrunk, and they generally have fish tails and can swim freely in the sea like fish, and the speed is very fast, so it also leads to
They are difficult to catch, and their prices have naturally increased.
In a previous auction, a young man, a mermaid, was auctioned for a sky-high price of more than 200 million.
It is precisely for this reason that many people are rushing to establish one capturing team after another, including the notorious Hound Pet Group and Flying Fish Knights.
Therefore, the mermaid is very rare, and its price is often as high as two to three hundred million. If there is a mermaid in every auction, it will definitely appear at the finale.
Next, a series of slave products were put on the stage, and as time passed, people's interest became high, igniting the enthusiasm of countless people.
In the bidding of some popular slaves, the bidding prices continued to rise, and even a pirate captain was sold for more than 100 million.
Just when the eleventh slave was being auctioned, a disgusting man with a snot on his face and a bubble hood appeared.
This man is also a Celestial Dragon, his name is Charles, he is the son of Roswald and the brother of Shalulia.
He rode a slave into the venue, and as soon as he got off the exhausted slave, he kicked the slave viciously, while cursing on his lips.
"You're such a loser. You have to work so hard to climb such a small distance and make me late. I'll sell you later!"
After venting his unhappiness, Charles slowly turned around. Under the respectful guidance of the staff, he came to the VIP seat with a domineering expression and sat down. Then he spoke with great interest.
, stared at the stage.
…
…
In the audience, Li Xiao sat silently and said nothing.
In fact, his idea was very clear. His main purpose when he came here was to find Rayleigh. If Rayleigh was really escorted to the stage later for selling, then Li Xiao would come out.
Money, take a picture of him.
I believe that with Rayleigh's image of a bad old man, few people can associate him with the famous Roger's deputy captain "Pluto" Rayleigh. In this case, if you want to take a picture of him, you should not be able to take a picture of him.
What a difficult thing it would be.
Of course, if Raleigh is not part of Disco's pai sale plan today, then after the auction is over, he will go to the backstage in person to negotiate with the other party. I believe that as long as the price is in place, he will be able to sell it.
As for Rayleigh, it shouldn't be a problem.
Therefore, compared to the slightly anxious expressions of Luffy, Sanji and others, Li Xiao looked much calmer and quietly watched the progress of the auction.
So far, those Tianlong people have no intention of bidding. It seems that their requirements for the so-called goods are also very high. Under normal circumstances, they will not take action easily.
"Next, the auction is for Lot No. 16. This person is a devil fruit user. His ability is to blend a variety of different metals, causing them to undergo chemical reactions down to the particle level, and then smelting them into a
Brand new metal. He used this ability to build himself a set of indestructible armor, and tried to sneak into the treasury to snatch treasures and money. However, in the end, he was defeated by several naval commanders.
"
"Although his idea is very stupid, if you want to use metal to create weird things as toys, then this lot will be a good choice for you."
Disco talked excitedly on the stage, recounting No. 16's past deeds and its abilities.
At the same time, many people in the audience began to discuss among themselves, and many people seemed to have some interest in this person.
"The starting price is 20 million."
"I'll pay 23 million."
"28 million."
…
After that, the bidding for lot 16 went up all the way, and people competed for it.
As time passed, it was even raised to 80 million, which made Disco's face show a look of surprise. Obviously, this price was far beyond his imagination.
And just as he was secretly rejoicing, a huge shout rang out.
"I'll give you 100 million!"
Charles raised his hand and shouted loudly.
"Hehe, I want to use him to build a steel castle and lock all the slaves I photographed inside. I want to see which slave dares to escape in the future!"
Charros grabbed the snot from his nose with his hand and flicked it aside casually, full of bad taste.
"Hey, Dad, look, my brother is spending money randomly again."
Shalulia glanced at the other party, curled her lips involuntarily, and complained to her father, Roswad.
"Forget it, more than 200 million is not worth mentioning to our family anyway, so let him alone."
Roswad waved his hand and said dotingly, "More than 200 million Baileys is nothing to their family. Moreover, he only has one son, Charros, so in many cases, it is very important."
Doting on each other.
In the auction venue, when Charles stated that he wanted to bid, the rest of the bidding voices at the scene suddenly stopped. They were all silent and did not even dare to bid anymore. Although among them,
There are many rich people who can pay more than 100 million, but they do not dare to argue and compete with the Tianlong family for such a lot. If they offend the Tianlong family, the consequences will be disastrous.
But at this moment of silence where the needle could be heard and the atmosphere was solemn, a loud voice spread and resounded throughout the entire auction venue.
"I'll pay 200 million!"
