Pirate: I am Kozuki's nemesis and Nika's enemy!

Under Jello's arrangement, the Don Quixote family tried their best to publicize the auction. Unsurprisingly, the news reached the ears of various forces, and the North Sea suddenly became noisy.

The bigwigs in the North Sea's underground world sent their followers to confirm the truth of the news.

The reason why they attach so much importance to it is not because they are really interested in the Great Sword Kinpila, but to confirm one piece of information - does Doflamingo have a special connection with the mysterious "Dark Dragon"?

"No wonder the Don Quixote family has been so powerful recently. If the Dark Dragon is really willing to help, in the North Sea, as long as they defeat the navy from Marinford, no one will be able to stop their expansion."

A respected gangster godfather put down his cigar and commented with a frown.

Morgans' subordinate Lacio even deduced from the news released by the Don Quixote family that Doflamingo might know the specific whereabouts of the "Dark Dragon".

He told this judgment to Morgans who got the big news through Den Den Mushi...

At the North Sea Naval Branch, female Rear Admiral Gion has learned the whereabouts of her beloved sword and is preparing for the upcoming auction.

At this moment, she was sitting upright in the chair, as if waiting for something.

In the trash can next to the chair there was a love letter given to her by the bootlicker Kake. In it, Kake wrote that Gion was the most beautiful navy girl he had ever met and the most perfect goddess in his mind.

He also mentioned that if he could hold Zhiyuan's hand, he would be willing to live ten years less.

And Gion's response to this statement was to throw it into the trash can and ignore it.

Gion hopes to discourage Kake from pursuing her by using this cold attitude.

"Gion didn't reject my confession, she must like me!"

"When we're together, I'll break my ribs and make soup for her."

The bootlicker Kaji was not rejected by Gion in person, and thought that Gion also had feelings for him, and began to look forward to a sweet married life.

Gion had no idea of ​​Kake's thoughts.

After a while, a professional disguise artist from Beihai came over with various tools, and after asking for advice, he began to paint on Gion's face to disguise his appearance.

Looking at the unfamiliar self in the mirror, Zhiyuan asked uncertainly, "Are your disguise skills good enough? I shouldn't be recognized, right?"

"It must be possible. Many marines in the Marine Headquarters who are carrying out undercover missions ask me to disguise myself!"

“There is not a single negative review so far!”

“Everyone who came back said it was good!”

The disguise lady patted her plump chest and assured.

There was a hint of pride in the way she spoke.

But to Gion's ears, something felt wrong.

What are the “no bad reviews so far” and “those who came back said good things”? Well, those who didn’t come back can’t give bad reviews even if they want to!

The disguised lady hugged Zhiyuan's neck, smiled at the mirror and said, "Relax, we are all good sisters, how can I cheat you?"

"Well, I believe you!"

Gion looked back at her good sister, smiled and nodded.

Two and a half hours later, the disguised Zhiyuan looked at himself in the mirror and his uneasy heart finally settled down.

“What a huge change!”

"And it's even more beautiful!"

Gion pinched her cheeks and said with satisfaction.

As a woman who loves beauty by nature, even a small improvement in appearance can make me feel like a big change.

In fact, her face was just covered with a layer of beautiful makeup.

However, in this pirate world where everyone is face-blind, changing one's makeup is indeed a form of disguise for the natives.

"Hehehe, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"I'm a professional at disguise!"

Feeling good about himself, the disguiser packed up his tools and puffed out his chest with pride.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

"Next time we meet, I'll treat you to a seafood dinner!"

Zhiyuan tilted his head and smiled, his tone light and humorous.

"Okay, bye~"

The disguise lady winked, waved goodbye, got up and left, leaving Zhiyuan alone in the room.

Zhiyuan looked at herself in the mirror, touching her delicate skin, and the little universe in her heart was burning.

"Humph, with this disguise on your face, this time I will not only take back Kinpila, but also beat up that reckless man!"

"The specially made seastone chain finally comes in handy!"

Imagining the tragic scene of Jello being bound tightly by seastone chains, unable to exert his strength, and then being pressed under him and ruthlessly ravaged, Gion could no longer suppress the corners of his smile.

After the fantasy time was over, she suddenly realized a fatal problem.

How could he bring the seastone chain into the auction venue without being noticed?

This is a problem that must be solved!

Gion frowned and looked at his dress, trying to find a hidden pocket.

But unfortunately, women's dresses are designed mainly for beauty and do not have that kind of thing.

Just when she felt her plan was going to fail, she suddenly noticed her broad mind.

"Forget it, never mind!"

After a brief mental struggle, Zhiyuan stuffed the seastone chain in.

...............

Two and a half days passed in a flash, and the auction held by the Don Quixote family was held as scheduled.

There were a huge number of guests attending this auction, and many of them did not come simply for the finale auction item, "Golden Piluo".

The ambitious people attempted to use this auction as a springboard, but their real purpose was to get close to Doflamingo, who was at the peak of his power.

Rivals came to gather intelligence in order to determine the relationship between the "Dark Dragon" and the Don Quixote family.

Some well-dressed North Sea officials wanted to use this auction to launder the dirty money they embezzled and bribe Doflamingo at the same time, which was a covert way of paying protection money.

Of course, not everyone is so complicated. Some people simply heard that the Don Quixote family's specialty food, the yarn eggs, are delicious, so they come here specifically to try them.

Before the auction officially opens, there will be performances to warm up the atmosphere and drinks will be provided. Guests can use this time to drink and chat in order to make friends.

When the disguised Zhiyuan arrived at the auction venue, she attracted the attention of many people with her gorgeous appearance and impressive capital.

The two pirates were getting close to each other, and one of them saw Gion dressed up in fancy clothes, so the conversation immediately became like this:

Q: "Brother, what do you think of this knife in my hand? Describe it in one word!"

A: "White!"

Q: "Hmm? Bai? Shouldn't it be Li? How is that possible? Look carefully!"

A: "It's huge, very huge. If I can have a kiss with her, marry her, or become the richest man in the world, I'm willing to do it all!!"

...............

As more and more eyes were focused on him, Zhiyuan became so nervous that his hands and feet began to sweat.

"You're obviously disguising yourself very well, could it be that someone else has discovered your true identity?"

Zhiyuan obviously didn't know the lethality of the weapon he was carrying.

She thought she had accidentally exposed herself.
