People are full of pirates

Chapter 268 Red Hair Shanks, Hades Rayleigh
After about half an hour.

The guests from all parties are basically present, and the entire auction hall is almost full.

The red curtain opened, and a middle-aged man with long blond hair walked up to the high platform amid countless eyes.

He was dressed in a black dress with an elegant and decent demeanor, not like a host, but more like an aristocrat.

"Welcome everyone to Barbu Auction, I'm tonight's host, Barbu Allen!"

The man in black dress with blond hair bowed slightly.

When he raised his head, his face was filled with a bright and enthusiastic smile, "I have made you wait here for a long time, now the time has come, I announce that this auction will officially begin!"

There was a burst of sparse applause at the scene, and the blond man didn't take it seriously. With a wave of his right hand, his staff immediately pushed out the first auction item.

It was a pair of exquisitely shaped western long swords, both the sheath and the blade, the workmanship was quite eye-catching.

"Lot No. [-], Liang Kuai Knife "Chun Shui" and "Qiu Ya", produced in the country of flowers in the West Sea, are a pair of double knives and cannot be auctioned separately. "

"The starting price is [-] million Baileys, and every time the price increases, it must not be less than [-] million Baileys!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a wave of waves in the entire auction house, and whispers were heard endlessly.

"It's a good knife right from the start? The handwriting of the Babu family is really getting bigger and bigger!"

"Hehehe~, I really look forward to what will be the finale..."

……

Good sharp knife?

In the remote seat in the southeast corner, Nuo Xia raised her eyebrows slightly, tapped the armrest of the seat with her index finger a few times, and then put it back in disinterest.

It was the comments from the old photographers around that made him more concerned.

Bubba family...

Being able to take root in the Chambord Islands and hold such a large-scale and high-quality auction, it seems that the owner behind this Babu Auction House has a lot of background.

"Forty million Baileys."

"Forty-three million Baileys!"

"Forty-eight million Baileys!"

At this time, the entire auction house has already begun to compete fiercely for this pair of good sharp knives, and the voices of catching up with the bidding price keep coming and going.

When the bidding price reached [-] million, the people who followed the price gradually showed hesitation, and one by one gritted their teeth and gave up.

And the bald-headed rich businessman who called out this price, seeing that no one followed up in the audience, suddenly smiled, showing a triumphant smile that he was sure of winning.

"Fifty million Baileys, once!"

"Fifty million Baileys, twice!"

The man in the blond dress also raised the small wooden hammer. After a pause, he smiled and dropped it to the desk. "It seems that no one has followed up. Then, fifty million Baileys, three..."

"One hundred million Baileys!"

However, at this moment, a new price was quoted.

The moment the number was heard clearly, the entire auction house was in an uproar.

What happened, doubled directly?

"Mr. No. 234, bid [-] million Baileys!"

The man in the blond dress was also slightly taken aback, and then suddenly became excited, "This is the first time for [-] million Baileys! Has anyone else offered a higher price?"

Of course there is no way.

The guests who came to participate in the auction almost all turned their heads at this moment, looking at the place where the sound was made in surprise.

Even Nuo Xia couldn't help but turn his eyes curiously, and looked to the northeast corner, wanting to see which stupid son of the landlord's family was so arrogant.

result.

After seeing the faces of the group of people clearly, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and his complexion became strange.

——How can there be such a coincidence in the world, to meet this guy here?

……

Northeast corner.

"Wow, it hurts!"

Shanks, who just shouted out the price with great arrogance, was happily enjoying the unbelievable gazes of everyone, received a solid punch on the head, and immediately covered his forehead in pain and yelled.

"Okay, why hit me, Jesus!"

"What do you say!"

Jesus Bu and Lagilu slapped him together again, and roared with fangs: "There is no one to snatch something, and you add so much money, are you an idiot!!!"

"One hundred million Baileys is enough to buy a big sharp knife, bastard!"

"But those two knives are really beautiful..."

Shanks was aggrieved, with a bitter face.

"And isn't it like this in all auctions? The real masters are always silent at the beginning, until the last moment, and then use the price that makes others despair, and win it in one fell swoop..."

"You are so tall, master! You are obviously a rookie participating in the auction for the first time!"

Jesus Bu was so angry, "We only have a total of less than [-] million Baileys in our hands, and we spent more than half of it in one go. It's really stupid... Besides, your sword is obviously better, right? Why buy two more, isn't this a waste!"

"Why is it a waste, in case I can meet a partner of the double-knife style in the future, there will be a meeting gift to give at that time..."

"There's no such markup, you idiot, idiot!"

The two of them are arguing here.

Lei Li, who was in the row behind, crossed his legs and took out the small flagon that he had secretly brought in from his coat pocket.

After taking a sip, he smiled and let these guys mess around.

Young... That's great, the old man smacked his lips. He seemed to have had such a quarrel when he first participated in the auction decades ago when he was just dragged onto the boat by that fellow Roger?

finally.

The small wooden hammer fell, and [-] million Baileys were sold. The blond man smiled happily. For the first time, he felt that the money was so easy to earn, and he immediately began to bid for the next lot.

And Shanks' attention was immediately attracted, completely ignoring the glaring looks of the two friends.

Fortunately.

In the subsequent auction items, although there are many rare treasures.

For example, precious spices from exotic countries, historical relics with commemorative significance, and even the auction of an entire luxury ship...

But after Shanks only followed the price twice symbolically, he lost interest and didn't intend to make any more moves. The few partners who were worried next to him finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After about half an hour.

The process of the auction was gradually coming to an end, but the enthusiastic atmosphere at the scene did not decrease but increased.

Everyone knows that the more precious something is, the more it will be put in the finale, and this auction is obviously no exception.

"Oh, the finale is coming!"

Shanks also raised his straw hat, and sat up straight excitedly, "Will there be devil fruits? I heard that all natural-type devil fruits have appeared in the auction in Chambord!"

"Indeed, it was last year."

Lei Li took another sip of his wine, and said with a leisurely smile, "At a bigger auction next door, the natural burning fruit was auctioned for a sky-high price of [-] million Baileys..."

Burn the fruit?

Can you control the ability of flames? It looks very powerful when you hear it!

Shanks' eyes were full of stars, and when he was looking forward to it more, he saw the last red curtain on the stage was pulled away, and more than ten cages appeared in front of everyone.

He was stunned for a moment.

"Next, it's the highlight of this auction!"

The blond man held the microphone, his voice suddenly raised a pitch, and he laughed and said:
"Presumably some guests who have heard the gossip early on are already impatient. That's right, our Babu Auction will auction off high-quality slaves from more than a dozen races in one go today!"

"Giants, mermaids, humans, long-handed, fur...everything!"

Whoa!
As soon as the words fell, the enthusiasm of the entire auction house was instantly ignited, and a wave of cheers erupted from the crowd.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

"It's not in vain, it's finally here!"

"There are also mermaids! At this time, the Babu Auction House is the only place where you can see so many racial slaves in Chambord!"

The guests cheered happily, and the man in the blond dress who raised his sense of anticipation also pressed his palms down in satisfaction, and after a little silence, he announced with a smile:

"Then, in the slave auction, the first item is a giant boy from the New World. The starting price is [-] million Baileys!"

"Twenty million Baileys!"

"Thirty million Baileys!"

Giants.

The price on the black market is far lower than that of a mermaid, but because of its infinite strength, durability and practicality, dozens of customers immediately joined the ranks of snapping up the auction.

But the northeast corner, which was still full of interest just now, has become silent at the moment.

"what……"

The boy under the straw hat whispered softly, clenched his fists, his eyes buried in deep shadows.

"It's fine if you don't have a Devil Fruit, but what's used for the finale is actually this kind of shady and dirty deal..."

He looked up at the iron cage on the stage.

The imprisoned slaves were all ashen and bruised, curled up in the corner of the cage, eyes full of despair and numbness.

"It's just..." The boy's voice was low, "It's unreasonable."

"Thirty-five million Baileys, giants, deal!"

"The second lot, a girl with rabbit ears from the fur family! Look at these slender legs! The upturned buttocks, white rabbit ears and small tail are also very cute!"

"As long as you bring it home, she can let you enjoy it wherever and in any way!"

"The starting price is [-] million Baileys!"

There was another upsurge of rushing to shoot, and it was mentioned [-] million in a blink of an eye.

Jesus Bu and Lagilu no longer had a playful smile on their faces, they quietly looked at the straw hat boy, as if they had a premonition of something.

Those who are familiar with Shanks can clearly perceive that rationality is gradually disappearing from their own captain, replaced by raging anger that is about to burn.

"Hi. Jesus cloth, Lagilu."

The red-haired straw-hat boy suddenly said, "I can't just sit back and watch these guys being photographed as goods... So, it's okay to spend all the money here?"

"You are the captain." Jesus Bu, who obviously felt sorry for the wallet at the beginning, shrugged his shoulders at the moment, with an expression of indifference, "How to spend the saved money is of course up to you to decide."

"It's just not enough, I'm afraid."

Fatty Lagilu patted his stomach, and said cheerfully, "If we can't pay the price, we will be regarded as troublemakers, we will be hunted down, and we won't be able to get out of the auction house..."

"Then kill all these guys and go out!"

The straw hat boy finally raised his head and grinned, "Anyway, let's bid first..." He suddenly raised his voice, his voice almost overwhelming the entire noisy auction room:
"Sixty million Baileys!"

Rayleigh lay back on the backrest, smiled slightly, and drank the remaining wine in the jug.

"Sixty million Baileys!"

On the high platform, the blond man burst into a surprise smile again, "My God, it's the gentleman on the 234 plate again! The price has been doubled and turned into [-] million Baileys. The price is too generous. Do you want to buy it?" Increased price!"

No one bid again, but it was inevitable that some strange eyes were cast on the northeast corner.

Apparently, many guests took Shanks, who doubled at every turn, as the kind of showy upstart who took advantage of him.

The gavel fell, and the price was traded. The rabbit-eared girl in the cage looked in Shanks' direction timidly.

"The third lot, a group of twelve human girls!"

The iron cage in the middle was pushed out, and the blond man gripped the microphone excitedly:

"Apart from the mermaid, this is actually the biggest highlight of the night, everyone! Get excited, and don't underestimate your own kind!"

"These twelve girls are not ordinary people, they are our carefully selected slaves of the highest quality! Almost all of them are the best girls in their age group!"

"There is a musician who has held a personal piano solo, Miss Alice!" A girl with long blonde hair and gentle temperament was forced to lift her chin with difficulty.

"A young doctor with superb medical skills who has saved thousands of people! Ms. Hepburn!" The unyielding girl with black-rimmed glasses turned her head away, and was immediately whipped severely.

"...Finally, there is the battle-hardened, genuine naval medical soldier, Second Lieutenant Emily!"

Step by step, the atmosphere was mobilized to the climax, and the men's excited and heavy breathing could be heard for a while, and the blond man hit the iron while it was hot, announcing loudly:

"Twelve people packaged and sold together, the starting price is [-] million Baileys!"

This price is obviously expensive enough to discourage many people, but after all, there are still many wealthy and powerful customers, and the price has soared all the way, directly exceeding [-] million.

"Too bad, I really don't have enough money..."

Lagilu said cheerfully, "The price has been raised to such an extent, it seems that this time it really can only be killed from this place..."

"[-] million Baileys!"

The red-haired boy raised his number plate again, and Jesus pouted, "This is the only way, Shanks, there's no need to act with them, anyway, we can't pay the price..."

"Two hundred million Baileys!"

Suddenly, a cold voice resounded throughout the auction house, interrupting the second half of Jesus Bu's words.

Several people were stunned, and turned their heads to look at the sound.

Who is it?

Why is it like Shanks, the bid is just like playing, and the bid is almost doubled?
The rest of the audience also looked at the center of the auction hall in amazement, where a huge figure with a height of five meters slowly got up, revealing a fierce face covered with scars under the light.

"Two hundred million Baileys!"

A ferocious five-meter-tall man, with explosive muscles all over his body, is extremely oppressive. He grinned and showed his neat white teeth, and smiled grimly:
"I'm going to order these little treasures today, who is going to continue to increase the price?"

That is……

The moment they saw the figure clearly, everyone gasped in unison.

——Captain of the Shark Pirates, "Black Shark" Tuke!
One of the Shichibukai under the king, the original bounty was [-] million Baileys!

Since the signing of the covenant at the end of last year, he has been considered by the world to be the undisputed strongest in the Seven Martial Seas today!
this monster...

Didn't you say that you went to the new world some time ago, why did you appear here!

　The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games showed me silly, it’s really worthless to waste time coding for this thing...
