Sabaody Archipelago, GR No. 1,
Deep inside the auction house!
The prison was filled with blood and stench, iron cages stacked like a forest, the sobbing of slaves intertwined with the cracking of guards' whips, explosion collars pressing down on despair—a dark cage where evil festered.
Inside a cage, a white-haired old man took out a flask from his bosom.
"Gulp, gulp!"
The old man let out a hearty laugh as the good wine went down his throat.
At the same same time, the tall man next to him opened his eyes.
"Hey, old man, you're not an ordinary person, are you! How did you get caught and brought here!"
"Just an old man who does coating business!"
...Marineford, Garp's office.
"Crunch! Crunch!"
Garp held a bag of senbei, putting them into his mouth one by one.
Next to him, a Marine officer was reporting on his work.
"Vice Admiral Garp, we've found traces of what appears to be Silvers Rayleigh, the "Dark King" at the Sabaody Archipelago auction house; it seems he's about to be auctioned off!"
Garp was stunned, tears suddenly welled up, and he burst into laughter.
"Silvers Rayleigh, the Dark King? Is it because he gambled and drank all his money away, so he sold himself? Hahaha."
"Do I need to report to Mr. Sengoku? After all, with 14 Supernovas gathered in the Sabaody Archipelago, plus Silvers Rayleigh, the "Dark King", I'm afraid something might go wrong!"
The Marine general was worried about this. Being in the Sabaody Archipelago, he understood how weak the island's forces were at the moment.
It could be said that if Sabaody wasn't adjacent to Marineford, it would have been wiped out by pirates long ago!
"It's fine. Silvers Rayleigh, the "Dark King" isn't someone who causes chaos! If we rashly engage him, it will deal a heavy blow to our side!"
Garp picked up the tea on the table, a smile on his lips, "Especially not now. Do you want the Marine to fight two legendary figures at the same time?"
...At the same time, the auction officially began!
The spotlight swept across the stands, people below whispered, and the originally elegant nobles revealed sick smiles!
"What do you want to buy this time?"
"The human slave I bought last time didn't last ten days!" The noblewoman said with regret, then became excited again, "So today I want to buy a young and strong Fishman man!"
"I want to buy two or three young women to feast my eyes on!" The man next to her also showed an expectant gaze.
The host on stage looked at the restless royalty and nobles, displaying a professional fake smile.
"Well then, the auction officially begins!"
"First up, a proud pirate from a musical family, proficient in all instruments!"
"He's a walking music box, and he can also pick up a rag to help with chores!"
"His name is Byron, special auction price 480,000 Berries. Let's start the bidding, everyone!"
The host's words ignited the entire venue.
"480,000!"
"500,000!"
"500,000! Any more bids? He can be a musician, or a part-time doorman!"
"530,000!"
"550,000!"
The two rushed to bid.
"600,000!!"
A fat noble gritted his teeth, nervously quoting the price. The two previous bidders exchanged glances, revealing sinister smiles.
"Buyer No. 7 bids 600,000 Berries! Any higher?"
The host's voice was very excited.
Then he brought down the hammer, "600,000 Berries, sold!"
"Phew—!"
The fat man breathed a sigh of relief, very happy... completely unaware that he had been set up!
The frantic auction was in full swing... Meanwhile, Luffy and his crew also arrived at the entrance of the auction house.
Luffy wore a red vest and black trousers, his straw hat tilted on his head, and sharp eyes hidden beneath his messy black hair.
"This... this is the human trafficking auction house, right!"
Sanji, with a cigarette in his mouth, had a gloomy expression, his eyes burning with anger.
He hadn't expected that human trafficking, which was explicitly prohibited worldwide, would appear right under the nose of Marineford.
"Let's go, let's go inside and see!"
Luffy pushed open the auction house door, took a bidding paddle numbered 88..."...Straw Hat!"
A voice of surprise, anger, and doubt came.
Luffy looked up and saw an arrogant and domineering face.
Eustass Kid!
Kid's shout immediately attracted a large group of people behind him. They turned around.
A young man wearing a Straw Hat came into view, and the pirates were sweating profusely.
'What the hell? How could a great pirate with a bounty of 1 billion appear here?'
It was no wonder they were so shocked; after all, people who could be sold generally weren't worth much.
It was hard to imagine a great pirate picking people out of a trash heap!
Law, after a moment of surprise, began to observe Luffy. Unlike the others who faced life-or-death crises,
Law had been following Luffy since the Alabasta incident and knew that he was not like a certain someone, not a bloodthirsty person!
'Perhaps I can connect with him! If his goal is to bring down the Shichibukai...!'
Excitement was hidden in Law's eyes!
The host on stage also noticed the commotion in the back, but he didn't care.
In the Sabaody Archipelago, Celestial Dragons were truly gods!
Now, with Celestial Dragons here, no one dared to act rashly; this was the source of his confidence.
"Now, let's welcome our next item, a Captain of a pirate crew! ..."
The venue erupted again!!
...Soon, Nami, Sanji, and others came to Luffy's side.
They leaned against the wall, watching the frantic auction.
Suddenly, Sanji felt a malicious gaze, turned slightly, and met Kid's eyes.
Kid was stunned for a moment, then showed a provocative smile.
But unexpectedly,
Sanji's eyes were as still as water; he merely glanced briefly and then looked away.
Kid: "...?!!"
A surge of anger welled up in Kid's chest, "Truly... looking down on me!!"
The 1-billion-Berries guy ignored him, and now a mere 300-million-Berries guy ignored him too??
"Boss, the Celestial Dragons are here! Don't cause a conflict!!"
Killer, next to him, timely stopped Kid, who was about to burst out!
...A certain area of the Sabaody Archipelago.
"Strange, haven't I been to this place just now??" Zoro spun around on the grass.
"Damn it, where exactly is GR No. 1? Those damn pirates didn't lead me down the wrong path, did they!"
Zoro couldn't help but scratch his head with both hands, finally choosing a path based on his intuition!
...At the same time, straight ahead!
A large number of residents knelt on both sides of the street.
Even the Supernovas, who feared neither heaven nor earth, could only frown tightly and bend their knees!
In the very center, a Celestial Dragon wearing a bubble helmet sat on a frail man who was crawling on all fours in the shadows.
Several bodyguards followed behind him.
"Saint Shalria and father both left me, and the auction is about to end!"
Celestial Dragon Charlos Saint, with snot streaming down his nose, angrily kicked the slave beneath him.
"Brat, it's all your fault for being as slow as a turtle and wobbling so much. Riding you is truly awful!"
"You fellow, you really make me angry!"
The slave gritted his teeth, not daring to move, silently enduring the Celestial Dragon's punishment.
The people around were also used to it, only able to suppress their inner fear and pray that the Celestial Dragon would leave quickly!
Suddenly, a figure walked straight towards him, with three swords at his waist and a deep frown.
'Damn it! Where the hell is it!'
At the same time, everyone on the street was stunned, especially the Supernovas present.
"Hey, hey, what does he want to do?"
"No way!!"
Everyone's pupils dilated in shock.
The Celestial Dragon also stared straight at Zoro, snot hanging in the air.
"What, do you want directions?" Zoro was a bit impatient.
A surge of anger welled up in Charlos Saint's heart.
"Bang!"
Without warning, he fired in anger.
"Hmm?"
Killing intent flashed in Zoro's eyes, kikoku was drawn, sword aura and demon aura intertwined.
He held the sword in his right hand and swung it casually!
"Swish!"
The bullet was cut in half, and Charlos Saint was also disemboweled.
The angry expression still remained on his face!
Celestial Dragon Charlos Saint, dead on the ground!
And at this, chaos erupted!
...The Celestial Dragon, the Celestial Dragon is dead... An Admiral is coming, this island is going to be destroyed!!"
"Oh my god, why would someone dare to kill... a Celestial Dragon!!"
Some were angry, some were fearful, some were happy, but without exception, they were all accelerating their escape, wishing they had more legs.
And the Supernovas stood frozen, staring blankly at the ignorant Zoro!
At this moment, Zoro had no idea what he had done.
Holding the cursed sword kikoku, with demon aura wrapped around the blade, he calmly looked at the Supernovas.
"Do you... also need directions?"
