Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

As the person in charge of the auction house on Island No. 1, the coquettish Disco obviously knows how to control the atmosphere.

With just a few words from him, the atmosphere of the entire conference hall was aroused.

Compared with the front desk, the backstage of the auction venue was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

In addition to the auction staff, there are also the most important auction items.

There is a big iron gate separating the two, but it determines their completely different fates.

"Hey, No. 15, it's your turn."

The staff member opened the iron gate and walked to a tall man and spoke impatiently.

The man called No. 15, dressed like a pirate, should have been the most evil existence in the sea, but he seemed timid in front of the man who was like a weakling compared to him.

The reason for all this is the collar around his neck.

There is an explosive device installed inside the collar, which will cause an explosion if anyone tries to destroy it.

"Hurry up and get up. If you are late, your master will be unhappy!"

Seeing that No. 15 did not move, the staff kicked him hard, then pulled the chains that bound No. 15's hands and dragged him away.

When leaving the iron gate, No. 15's eyes finally reacted, as if he had made some kind of decision.

And inside the iron gate, there were several figures.

The two on the right are both women. Judging from their attire, they must have been transported from other countries on slave ships.

And those who were sent here are all very good-looking and have good figures.

If you really look closely, you can see that one of the girls has a darker complexion and her clothing style is very similar to the exotic style of Alabasta.

On the left are two men.

One of them was obviously a giant, and even the collar around his neck was a thicker version.

But even with such a huge body, there is still no light in the giant's eyes.

Next to him sat a man who looked like an old man.

He has long curly silver hair and a silver beard, wears round-framed glasses, and has a scar on his right eye.

The thin figure is in sharp contrast to the giant, but the mental state is completely different.

After No. 15 was taken away, the giant became visibly nervous, but the old man calmly took out a bottle of wine from his arms and started drinking.

It just looks like there isn't much wine in the bottle!

"You wanted to take action just now." At this moment, after the staff left, the giant turned his head and looked at the old man and said, "Just when those guys were about to take action, your domineering..."

"Who are you?"

Hearing the giant's question, the old man just tightened the bottle in his hand silently and said without raising his head:

"I'm just an old guy who knows how to coat."

"Also, I prefer young girls~"

-

"Keeping everyone waiting!"

At this moment, the coquettish Disco was already standing in front of No. 15, introducing him to everyone with a passionate voice:

"This man's name is Lacoba. He is a pirate known for his shrewdness. His bounty is a full 1700 million berries. His greatest advantage is his strong muscles."

When he was moved, Disco even patted Lacoba on the shoulder.

"A guy like this can be bought back to be a man-horse, to do manual labor, and to be used as a punching bag."

"It's pretty versatile, so..."

"what!!!"

"That guy, what happened?"

Just as Disco was about to continue his introduction, some people in the front row of the audience noticed something was wrong.

Blood actually flowed out of the pirate's mouth, and then his whole body fell forward.

“This bastard, could it be…” Disco, who finally reacted, looked very unhappy: “Quick, pull up the curtain for me.”

Accompanied by the roar of disco, the entire auction table was covered by two large pieces of red cloth.

"Kid, that guy..."

"Well, he bit his tongue and committed suicide." The red-haired Kid sneered, "It's really a wise choice."

"Damn it! You're ruining my show at this time." Behind the curtain, Disco kicked Lacoba hard, looking a little annoyed: "I can't sell it now."

"Hey, you guys, bring those two women over here!"

"Ok!"

-

"Luffy?" In the last row of the audience, Nami looked at Luffy beside her with some concern.

Ever since he told Luffy that he wanted him to be patient, he has kept his head down and remained silent.

Because of the straw hat, Nami couldn't see his expression clearly.

But if Nami lowered her head, she would be able to see that Luffy had his eyes closed, as if he heard something.

At this time, disco has returned to everyone's attention.

"There was a small accident just now. No. 15 Lacoba was too excited and had a nosebleed and passed out, so his auction will be held another day!"

"And the next performer will definitely make everyone forget the unpleasantness just now!"

"That's also the highlight of our day! Two stunning beauties!!!"

Accompanied by the highly provocative sounds of disco, two beauties with collars around their necks and handcuffs on their hands were brought to the center of the auction table.

"Number 18 is the daughter of the king of a non-member country in the West Sea!"

"Her name is Fili, she is 19 years old, and her greatest advantage is the etiquette she learned as a princess."

"All the masters know what it means to have such a slave!"

"but!!!"

Disco suddenly became passionate: "Number 18 is just our appetizer today, and the main course is number 19!"

"A 20-year-old girl from Alabasta, a government-affiliated country!!!"

"It is second only to mermaids, a peerless existence!!!"

In the end, disco was bordering on madness.

At the same time, the princes and nobles in the audience also began to talk.

"An allied country? Alabasta? Is it Cobra's country?"

"It's been a long time since then. The Seven Warlords of the Sea and a group of pirates caused a big incident there. After it was over, Cobra passed the throne to his daughter."

"Is that so? Judging from the girl's appearance, she does seem to be from Alabasta. But, are these guys so bold?"

...

"Her name is Lisa. We met her by chance and tricked her into coming here two months ago after she encountered a storm at sea."

Disco showed a smug expression: "As all guests know, our auction items have always only been accepted from non-government member countries and pirates, but..."

"People who are familiar with the auction house on Island No. 1 should also know that behind me, in addition to the support of the World Government, there is also--"

"A dark emperor of the underworld!!!"

"So! Even if the auction items are from the government's member countries, only our auction house exists!!!"
