One Piece: Dark Empire

Three days later, the auction officially opened.

The sea is dotted with hundreds of ships, large and small, enclosing the coastline of Roland Island.

But the very center was directly opposite the auction hall, and no one's ship was allowed to park.

It has been empty, quietly waiting for the arrival of the most distinguished guests.

On Roland Island, the road leading to the square was completely cleared, and the organizers used an iron fence to keep the crowd ten meters away, and armed soldiers were guarded at intervals.

The vermilion carpet was spread from the port to the front of the auction, dozens of elegant and calm, generous waiters stood on both sides, and as soon as the guests entered the square, someone took the initiative to greet them.

Everything seems orderly and unhurried.

It seems that the three leading organizations in the underground world attach great importance to this auction.

Lin Ye thought thoughtfully.

As for why there was no participation of the Vince Mock family, it was calculated that in about two or three years, they would have to withdraw from the North Sea and flee to the Great Shipping Route.

At this time, it was excluded by other leading organizations, and it was obviously in decline and was disliked.

Even this auction may be a signal that the other three major organizations have joined forces to encroach on the Vince Mock family's business.

Lin Ye was full of thoughts, he was led behind Seti, and from the outsider's point of view, the two were an ordinary father and son, inconspicuous among the many guests.

Led by the waiter, the two entered the auction hall, and they were greeted by a dazzling array of colorful lights, and the retro and elegant auction seats were neatly arranged and extended downwards, forming a fan-shaped semi-enveloping structure.

In the middle is a circular stage, which is now separated by a heavy curtain, leaving only a corner exposed.

The waiter helped them find a place, handed them a round wooden plaque marked with the number, asked them to wait for the auction to begin, and then bowed and left.

"It's pretty advanced."

Seti touched the leather under her butt, soft and elastic, and sighed

, "When I was fighting black boxing in the underground gym, our boss's office chair was made of this material. They're really willing to pay for it.

Lin Ye didn't answer, he hooked his head and looked around, trying to find Willy among the guests present.

It's a pity that their position is a little backward, and no matter how long their necks stretch, they can only see a bunch of back heads.

Seti was relieved: "As long as he participates in the auction, you will recognize it as soon as he makes a sound." "

I hope so..."

Lin Ye shook his head, feeling that there was little hope, leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes.

Soon, the auction hall became noisy, and the auction table was gradually filled with people from all walks of life. Maharajas and nobles, local gangsters, famous pirates, admirals, bounty hunters...

The guests have different identities and mixed dragons, but at this time they gather here for one purpose.

From time to time, everyone's eyes swept over the stage, waiting for the opening.

In everyone's eager anticipation, the curtain slowly opened.

OooThe lights flashed like crazy, and finally focused on one point.

The restless music suddenly sounded, and a thin figure dressed in a coquettish costume, with a top hat and a pair of star-shaped sunglasses twisted and danced, moving step by step under the light.

"Everyone..."

The salute roared, the music stopped abruptly, and the figure posed in a perfect poss to face the guests in the audience.

“...... Good evening!

He bent down and introduced himself to the guests:

"I am a member of the Don Quixote family of the underground organization, and the gold medal auctioneer Disco."

The man who called himself Disco suddenly stood up, opened his arms, and embraced the entire auction hall in his arms.

"Tonight, I will host the auction of 137 popular items for you.

Slave? Weapons? Treasure map? Or are they those Devil Fruits with mysterious powers?

No matter what you're here for today, I promise this auction will make you come home with a full load! "

Boom!

Salutes were fired in unison, spewing brilliant gold dust, and colorful ribbons fell from the sky and hung on both sides of the stage.

The exaggerated tone expression, coupled with rich and infectious body movements, made him instantly pull the atmosphere, and the venue was extremely enthusiastic

: "But..."

Disco put his right index finger to his mouth, gently "shush", and whispered: "

You must not know the real purpose of this auction by the Cobweb, the Hand of Heaven, the Texas Chamber of Commerce and our Don Quixote family."

"Actually..." deliberately

selling a pass, his voice lowered: "... This real purpose is hidden in the name of this auction, that is..."

"Dragon Auction!"

For!

The disco shouted in a high pitch, and the lights of the venue were all turned on at this time, and the interior was as bright as day.

His face flushed with excitement, raised his right arm, led everyone's eyes to the back, and solemnly introduced:

"Next, let us welcome the nobles of the world and the gods who created the world government with warm applause....

Draco is here! At

the entrance, the four Draco nobles riding on slaves were looked into the eyes of everyone at this time, and more than a dozen attendants knelt beside them, sincerely expressing their respect to the Draco.

The venue was instantly silent, and the expressions on everyone's faces were different, there was panic, fear, curiosity, anger...

But in the end, there was a rare applause.

"Stupid inferior pariah! It's really noisy! The

Phengia saints were expressionless, they were magnificent, and there was no one in sight, and they walked into the only private room under the guidance of the waiter.

"Let's get started, let's see what is really in the so-called biggest auction."

Draco's indifferent voice came from it, and the auctioneer Disco wiped the beads of sweat on his head, showed a smile and officially began to preside over the auction.

"Then let's start without further ado!

"Today's number one commodity is a male slave, a famous North Sea musician, Robert Beethoven!"

"Everyone, please see! With a sad temperament, slender fingers, this man is, without a doubt, one of the finest artists in the North Sea!

Pick up a broom to sweep the floor, pick up a violin and play beautiful music, and rumor has it that his cooking skills are just as proficient!

One person for three uses, simply a slave who couldn't be better! The

light followed the slave's footsteps and came to the auctioneer.

Disco smiled slightly and said, "Actually, today, there is another surprise to tell everyone!"

He pulled out a round collar from his arms and showed it to everyone in the audience.

"Slave collar!

This is a new invention of the young master of our Don Quixote family! Once the slave wants to resist breaking free of the collar, or a hundred meters away from the master, just like this..." Gently

pulling the collar, hearing the sound of "ticking" inside, Disco secretly timed and raised his hand to send it into the air.

Rumble!

The blazing wave turned into a shock wave that spread out from the center to all around.

Large clouds of black-red smoke suddenly appeared, rolling and spreading in the air like liquid magma.

The flags above the venue were blown by the wind and waves, and the hunting sounded.

Syllable!

The wreckage of the collar broke through the smoke and fell next to Disco.

Everyone in the audience was silent again, but soon there was a loud noise, they were not dissatisfied by the explosion, but saw the value of the slave collar with unique eyes:

"Hehe, then there is no need to fear the slave escape!"

"This kind of thing seems to be good if used as a weapon, do you see?" That kind of power!

"It's really good, our attitude towards slaves seems to be too good in the past!"

......

Every word of the guests made the despair in the heart of the artist on the stage thickened.

He wore that slave collar around his neck, but no one spoke for him.

He saw many nobles who had treated him as a guest, discussing anecdotes about their slaves with great interest, and said that it would be much easier to have this collar in the future.

He saw that the reserved noble ladies had begun to exchange ears and ears about his value as a slave.

Seeing that the pirates were disdainful of themselves, seeing the indifference in the eyes of the navy, they were used to it.

Seeing his wife also sitting in the audience, anxiously waiting for the moment when the auction would begin.

For some reason, tears suddenly flowed down his beautiful face, rushing incessantly.

......

"Next, today's No. 1 commodity musician Robert Beethoven, starting at 100,000 Bailey, bid....

Begin! Amid

the wistful sobs, Disco struck the nail on the head, bringing the atmosphere of the auction hall to a climax.
