One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 139 Auction

After leaving the shopping street, everyone first went to the government office to apply for Marie Joa's passage permit, and then went to the hotel street on Island 35 to check in.

As the King of the Shichibukai, these procedures are naturally not a problem.

It didn't take too long to complete the check-in procedure. It was still early at this time, so everyone unanimously decided to go somewhere else.

"It's strange, why are there so many people heading west?" Star asked, looking at the flow of people on the street heading in the same direction.

Profik didn't know the reason, but it didn't matter, he could find someone to ask.

Seeing that it was King Shichibukai asking for directions, the selected passerby felt "extremely honored" (actually, he was trembling with fear), and was afraid of missing the big shot (actually, he was afraid of offending Shichibukai), so he gathered all the information in one go. Everything he knew about the situation was told.

Of course, Profik would not make things difficult for him, and he politely allowed the passerby to continue on his way.

It turns out that Island No. 1 is going to hold a large-scale auction in an hour. It is said that there are "amazing items" to be auctioned. They all wanted to see if they could take advantage, so they hurried to Island No. 1.

"Auction?" Naturally, auctions are also new to Danjuma.

"Well, auctions are also an effective promotional tool. To put it simply, after taking out the items, the customers present take turns bidding, and the one with the highest price wins." Black Constellation has also used auctions in the past, so Morana To understand this, "Generally speaking, the items being auctioned are items of great value but not suitable for public sale. Through such auctions, the goods can often be sold at extremely high prices."

"Brother, let's go and have a look too!" Matifa seemed to be very interested in the auction.

Danjuma also echoed Matifa's point of view: "Captain, let's go over and have a look! I haven't seen what the auction looks like!"

Profik nodded: "Then let's head to Island No. 1."

Although the No. 1 island where the auction is located is a lawless zone, generally speaking, to be able to organize an auction of this scale, the power behind it must be extraordinary, and the security force must be quite sufficient. Under normal circumstances, there will be no trouble. In addition, Profic had some confidence in his own strength, so he agreed to his sister's request.

Profic and others entered the auction venue without much effort.

This semi-public auction has no barriers to entry. In the original work, even pirates like Luffy and fish-men like Hachi can easily get in, not to mention Profic and others who have a lot of money and the identity of the Shichibukai.

Profik also discovered some interesting details, such as the flags of the Don Quixote family hanging on several auction houses and shops on Island No. 1.

This shows that although Doflamenco is still developing in the North Sea, the tentacles of his power have already penetrated deep into the Grand Route.

This is not surprising. Doflamenco himself is a Celestial Dragon, and compared to the North Sea, the Grand Route is his most familiar "hometown". Doflamenco himself often thought about developing on the Grand Line. Coupled with his identity as a former Celestial Dragon, it provided him with great convenience in colluding with the World Government. Therefore, it is very reasonable to make some arrangements in the Shampoo Islands in advance.

After entering the auction house, Profik led his companions to find a corner where they could observe the entire venue without being too eye-catching and sit down.

In order not to attract unnecessary attention, Profik and others also changed Brook's clothes in advance and covered his face. After all, even among all the rare race slaves at the slave auction in the Chambord Islands, a body with white bones can be regarded as a unique rarity.

Covering your face is considered a very normal dress at an auction. Auctions in the Shampoo Islands are more or less illegal, so the participants tend to hide their identities. Those who have no scruples are either world nobles like the Celestial Dragons or stupid young men like Luffy.

In other words, someone who is as arrogant as Luffy is a fool.

The auction house was already crowded at this time. Participating in this auction were businessmen, pirates, residents of Shampoo Land, officials of the World Government, and forces from the underground world.

The entire auction house presents a stage-like environment. In the center of the front is a prototype high platform covered with a red carpet. The high platform is surrounded by many seats, forming a fan shape as a whole.

However, unlike the auction venues described in some novels, there is no such thing as a box in this venue.

Profic believes this is because the auction owners want to add as many seats as possible to increase the number of potential customers while avoiding unnecessary disputes over box qualifications. However, in this way, we may also lose some customers who want to better conceal their identity, or who simply don't bother to sit with other people - mainly Tianlong people.

Wait, Profic suddenly felt that his brain was a little insufficient - for the owner of the auction house, is it a good thing or a bad thing if the Tianlong people don't come to visit?

I'm afraid it's hard to say.

The Celestial Dragons are indeed extravagant, and may bring a lot of income to the auction house. Being favored by the Celestial Dragons will even give them a chance to soar into the sky. But the problem is that the Celestial Dragons may also take things by force - no one really dares to ask the Celestial Dragons for money anyway. In addition, if the Celestial Dragons take a fancy to Mary Joa and make her a slave, the trouble will be even greater.

However, in any case, so far, no Tianlong people have visited this auction. This also gave Profik a sigh of relief.

As the hot and scantily clad female host stepped onto the stage, the auction officially began.

"It seems that everyone can't wait, so I won't talk nonsense anymore, and the auction will start immediately."

“First up is the first auction item in this auction!”

As the host waved, several security personnel carried up a wooden box. After the box was opened, a notebook was placed.

"The adventure notes of the famous adventurer 'Larger King' Nolando! As we all know, Montblanc Nolando is an adventurer from the South China Sea, and he is also famous for his famous deception incidents."

"What we found this time is the manuscript of Nolando's adventure notes. It may contain a series of lies, or it may contain important adventure records! Its value must be judged by yourself!"

The host looked excited and announced loudly: "The starting price of this auction item is... five hundred thousand berries!"
