Pirate's Freedom

In 1503 of the Haiyuan calendar, on August 2, the weather was fine.

Demarcated by mangroves, it is located in the second area of ​​the Shampoo Islands in the "Lawless Zone".

After more than a month of intense construction, a larger and more magnificent [New Human Auction House] rose from the ground than before.

After careful design by world-class architects and unique use of Shampoo's unique bubble construction technology, the shape of the auction venue is like a huge silver plate. On the silver plate, the beautiful and shining [pearls] are scattered in an orderly manner. Stacked.

In today's fine weather and bright sunshine, looking from a distance, the new venue will become a landmark building after it is completed, and the new venue will be dazzling and dazzling.

In a shining [Pearl].

"I just hope that the price can come down. The most common slave now costs more than 100 million beli... This is completely disrupting the market!"

On the velvet seats with soft colors, separated by armrests made of sun trees, the little royal family from afar chatted casually with the local wealthy businessmen.

Scenes like this can be seen everywhere in the entire auction venue.

"Have you heard?"

"You mean mermaid?"

"It's from [Ergu]."

"It's clearly written in the manual."

"It's a pity that it's [two-stranded]..."

"The market price of [the second share] is also over 2000 million berries."

"Her kids aren't bad either."

"Human though."

"Too bad it's human."

"Will you take it apart and sell it?"

"It won't be sold open."

"It should be possible..."

"I heard it was on the Grand Line..."

"Is that island still there?"

"What a stroke of luck."

"Humans and fishmen..."

"This kind of thing happens all the time."

"Go back and search."

In the whispering voices,

Time gradually passed, and the opening moment was getting closer and closer.

"Click, click, click, click..."

The sound of the machine turning suddenly sounded.

"...!"

They all stopped talking, and people's attention was attracted.

"Oh oh oh-!!"

Like fans of idols, many guests shouted and called out the same name in unison.

"Hao Man! Hao Man! Hao Man!"

In the center of the silver plate, on the open circular stage, today's top auctioneer, the holder of human auction records - Pariste Herman, stands upright on the elevator, just in time to rise from the underground. Take the stage.

"Puff-puff-!"

He patted the microphone in his hand gently, and the guests slowly fell silent.

"Everyone has heard about it, right?"

Haoman looked around.

"Everyone thinks——"

He started wagging his fingers.

"Would I put the mermaid last?"

Most people began to hold their breath and concentrate.

"of course not!"

“She’s the first lot today!!”

Uncontrollable exclamations sounded, and Haoman's voice surged in the sky.

"Throw away that auction brochure! This event will never disappoint everyone!!"

He opened his arms, and his arms seemed to encompass the entire venue.

"Everyone tell me, what is my style, my aesthetic?"

Waving handkerchiefs or canes, the guests cheered loudly.

“Mysticism—pursue it to the end—!!!” xN

……

Holy Land Marie Joa, Pangu City, Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Army.

Behind the huge glass, fish of various shapes in the sea swim leisurely, occupying the entire floor of Pangu City. In the aquarium-like office, [Army Commander-in-Chief] Kong is approving documents one after another.

"..."

After a while, he answered the phone and said silently.

"Tell Warring States to let him wait a little longer."

……

On the red earth continent, on the edge of the cliff, Pangu City can be seen in the distance.

"[Commander-in-Chief of the Army]?!"

Amidst the howling wind, Doflamingo's laughter continued.

"It's a shame that Wulaoxing figured it out! Fufufufufu...!! I feel a little sorry for him!"

Spandain stood side by side with him, whistling and hissing facing the sea.

"Do you know? Dover~"

He gathered his stuff slowly, made a pistol gesture, and pointed it cheerfully at his temple.

"Here! Inspiration keeps coming from here! I think I should be a painter!"

"Fufufufufu...! As you like, Spangdyne, what big thing is happening in the new world?"

"Besides [advancing the war], what else is important in the new world?"

Spangdain smoothed his curly hair, pulled out one and looked at it in front of his eyes.

"[Red-haired] Shanks, how about refusing to be the [Ocean's Shichibukai]?"

After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from somewhere, and began to sketch vaguely.

"[Red-haired] Shanks..."

Doflamingo glanced at him, turned around and paced back and forth.

"First he fought against Katakuri, and then he escaped completely in front of BIGMOM. One Piece Roger's crew member——[Red-haired] Shanks, in less than a month, who can ignore this name?"

His voice paused.

"However, in the past month, we have been fighting each other without any breakthrough, and everyone is exhausted."

"This world is really funny."

As he immersed himself in writing and drawing, Spangdine responded with a smile.

"A weight of great importance."

After finishing the painting, Spangdine raised his head and said in surprise.

"And, guess what? He knows what he's going to do!"

"No matter who wants to end this war, under normal circumstances, they will only become the target of public criticism."

Passing by figures who were sitting upright, Doflamingo gently patted their shoulders.

"But this appointment comes just in time. Look! This kid is about to soar into the sky!"

"A critical moment?"

"[Red-haired] Shanks...fufufufufu...!"

As Spangdine complained, "This joke is really bad," Doflamingo's eyes looked unpredictable under his sunglasses.

"Based on the current situation...and future developments, maybe we should call him -"

"[Yonko] Shanks."

……

Honggang, bulletin post.

"Mr. Langdon~! What an honor!"

The official who was assigned here due to his defeat in the political struggle not long ago bowed slightly and opened the door to welcome his arrival.

"If you have anything to do, just tell me. Why bother coming here in person..."

No matter what he was thinking, the moment he saw Langdon, a friendly smile naturally appeared on his face as he faced the famous man above.

After a moment of pleasantries, Langdon expressed his intention.

"...the pods are out of service...clearing the port..."

Faced with this sudden and unimaginable request, the smile on the official's face remained unchanged, showing only a trace of embarrassment.

"But it was just inspected a few days ago..."

……

"They'll leave it to you."

Doflamingo hooked his fingers, and the thin invisible threads dissipated in the air.

"What a pity. I thought you would stay and watch the opening ceremony before leaving."

Spandaine said with sincere regret.

"Furfurfurfurfur..."

Doflamingo responded with a deep laugh.

"Ask you a question——"

After stepping over the cardboard on the ground, he suddenly turned back.

"Do I look like a nanny?"

"Hahahaha...do you know?"

Spandaine was laughing so hard.

"Unexpectedly, you might be good at dealing with children."

……

Auction venue, silver plate connection.

An extremely hidden location hidden in the building structure. In the control room that should not exist in this situation, it was dark at this time.

There was a faint light in the darkness, and at a glance, the walls were densely packed with screens that closely monitored the venue from all directions and angles.

"We have already contacted the Holy Land and the adults will not be absent."

Where the light cannot reach, calm voices in the shadows sounded one after another.

"Everything is ready and all hands are on deck."

"In that case, let's go down and tell the auctioneer——"

Wearing a white mask with a missing mouth and a white suit, [Bushu] gave orders without hesitation.

"Let's get started."

……

"Then let's get started."

……

Kacha-! ! !

The large piece of glass suddenly shattered and turned into a large wave of water. The [Steel Skeleton] crashed through the wall and appeared in mid-air.

With the sound of wind in his ears, he stared into the distance, his eyes frozen——

Centered on a point in the Tianlong residential area, countless threads erupted like a volcano and fell like a meteor shower.

In an instant, a huge arc-shaped [Bird Cage] enveloped Mary Joa.

"birdcage!!!"

……

Bang! !

After the loud bang of the door being opened, there was a continuous sound of footsteps.

Tall figures wearing cloaks filed in, their webbed feet leaving wet traces of water on the wooden floor.

Langdon walked past the motionless official, and the moment he passed him, he put the misplaced microphone away.

"Click!"

The official shuddered, as if he had been suddenly awakened.

"But……"

The smile on his face was stiff, and his expression seemed to be crying or laughing.

"What's the reason?"

"The reason... why not just say——"

Sitting behind his desk, Langdon took off his glasses, wiped them, and spoke softly.

"How about the Celestial Dragon inspection?"

……

The set was pulled up, and a few thin pieces of cardboard created the illusion of grandeur.

Spangdine, who was facing him, took two steps back, twisted his body left and right, looked at it carefully for a moment, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Perfect!"

After speaking, he dipped the red paint on the palette and added two strokes to the corners of his mouth with the brush.

Seven people sat quietly on seven chairs that were different in style but looked very expensive.

Frightened, angry, shocked, calm...

Facing the different expressions on the seven people's faces, Spangdine turned around and showed a big smile.

"Why—So—Serious?"

……

"First of all, we need to invite our guests——"

Haoman opened his mouth in a soaring aria.

"The bloodline of God—the descendant of the Creator—"

"The most noble——"

He shook his arms and pointed his hands in the air.

"Holy Roswade~~! Holy Charmako~~! Holy Kamael~~! Mus..."

Facing the stage, surrounding the venue, wrapped in a bubble suspended above, seven huge black screens light up——

Under the awed gaze of everyone at the scene, with interior decorations of different styles but equally luxurious as the background——

Seven men, women and children of different genders and looks, but with the same extremely proud expression, appeared on the screen at the same time.

……

In a moment, the same person with completely different expressions.

"I believe that everyone has fully understood the rules of this game. The most important thing is-"

In the focus of seven people's gazes, which are all focused on.

Spangdine nodded his nose.

"[Punishment]~"

tremble!

"and also--"

He rolled his tongue.

"[Reward]~"

Trembling violently! !

He looked away.

"Okay, it's time, let's start the game."

Looking at the smoke rising faintly in the distance, Spangdine twisted his neck.

"I wish you all the best to take the shot to the end and clear the game, then——"

He clapped his hands violently in the light that reflected the phone bug.

"Action——!!!"
