Pirates: Building a Pirate Family.

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone that caused a thousand waves!

Several younger brothers and sisters could no longer contain their excitement and shouted with excitement.

Then, they acted quickly, fixed their eyes on the items they had long coveted, and began to bid without hesitation.

The most active among them was Hannah. She took the lead without showing any weakness and started a fierce bidding competition with an arrogant noble.

Each price increase was no less than 100,000 berries.

Although such a number is already quite astonishing for ordinary people, it is just a drop in the bucket for Hannah and others who are wealthy at the time.

They were immersed in this exciting bidding game, enjoying it very much and completely ignoring the surprised looks of others.

This action happened to be seen by the arrogant and self-important celestial dragons in the back.

Their eyes, which were already filled with arrogance and prejudice, instantly revealed a strong sense of disdain.

One of the Tianlong people did not even try to hide his contempt, and sneered, "Humph, look at these country bumpkins who have never seen the world!"

The Tianlong people didn't even bother to look at these so-called treasures, because in their hearts, the real priceless treasures were still to come.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the auction hall was extremely warm, everyone was competing to bid, and the scene was extremely hot.

However, no one noticed that a few furtive young men had quietly sneaked into the back of the auction.

Upon closer inspection, they are indeed this year's supernova Straw Hat Pirates.

"Wow, this is the auction house!"

Luffy stared with his big round eyes, looking around curiously, and spoke in a low voice.

The others followed Luffy's gaze, carefully hiding in dark corners and observing everything around them.

"That's right. This is the largest auction house in the Chabaoti Archipelago. It can even be called the world's leading auction house!"

Xiao Ba on the side whispered an introduction to everyone.

Hearing this, Luffy seemed a little impatient. He asked hurriedly: "What about Camie? When will she show up?"

After that, he began to search around frantically for Kemi. Unfortunately, after searching for a while, he still found nothing.

Seeing Luffy so anxious, Hachi hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, Captain. According to common sense, given the rarity of mermaids, Camie is likely to be the finale of this auction! So we have to be patient and wait."

After saying this, Xiao Ba's originally slightly relaxed expression suddenly became more and more solemn, as if covered by a thick layer of dark clouds.

Following his gaze, you can see a group of arrogant and domineering Celestial Dragons sitting not far away.

As soon as he saw these celestial dragons, Xiao Ba's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and uneasy emotions surged into his heart like a tide.

However, despite his inner turmoil, he resisted the urge to show his fear.

At this moment, Luffy and his crew carefully and quietly entered the auction venue.

Their actions were extremely covert, and they thought they were undetected by anyone.

But who could have imagined that the unfathomable tyrant Bartholomew Bear who was guarding the Celestial Dragons and the noble and cold Golden Queen Rachel who was sitting in the front row noticed their arrival almost at the same time.

But what was strange was that neither Bear nor Rachel showed any obvious reaction to this sudden intruder.

For a moment, the whole scene fell into an eerie silence, with only time quietly passing by.

As rare items were auctioned off one after another, the atmosphere at the auction gradually heated up to its peak.

And when it was the mermaid Kimi's turn to appear on stage, the warm atmosphere was like a volcanic eruption, instantly igniting the passion of everyone present.

"It's Kemi!"

The sharp-eyed Nami recognized the pitiful mermaid girl on the stage at a glance and spoke quickly.

Hearing Nami's call, Luffy nodded seriously and said firmly: "Well, no matter what, we must take a picture of her!"

Daisy, who was standing aside, turned to look at her sister Rachel beside her anxiously, and asked anxiously: "Sister, that mermaid is so pitiful, should we try to save her?"

"Fishman Island has always been a close ally of our Rockefeller Kingdom. When an ally is in trouble, how can we just stand by and watch? We must lend a helping hand!"

Rachel nodded firmly, indicating that her attitude towards the matter was very clear.

However, Daisy looked worriedly at the group of extremely excited Celestial Dragons on the other side, frowned and said: "But in my opinion, these Celestial Dragons seem to be determined to capture these fish slaves. They are not easy to deal with..."

Hearing this, Rachel's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sly smile. She gently glanced at Daisy beside her, then deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Humph, don't worry, I don't intend to pay a penny to this lousy auction house. Let's just bid, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Rachel's words were like a thunderbolt, which stunned Daisy for a moment.

She opened her eyes wide and stared at Rachel with suspicion, as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard.

Under Daisy's direct and questioning gaze, Rachel's originally fair cheeks unconsciously turned slightly red.

But soon, Rachel regained her composure and explained righteously, "Think about it, this damn auction house actually dared to openly sell fishmen. It clearly doesn't take our great Rockefeller Kingdom seriously at all! In this case, it is our enemy. Do we need to talk about morality with our enemies? Not at all!"

It turned out that Rachel had made up her mind from the beginning that she would never pay any money to this auction house that ignored the dignity of their country.

At this moment, the auctioneer on the stage shouted in a sharp and piercing voice: "The starting price is 300 million berries. Who will get it? Now, please make your bid!"

The auctioneer shouted and the auction officially began.

Nami's heartbeat accelerated instantly. She couldn't wait to raise the sign in her hand high, her mouth slightly open, preparing to shout out the number "500 million".
