"Don't worry, Iska, you can play whatever you want after the expo is over."

Sabo stopped Iska. Now everyone is going to the expo. If they take action, some pirates will choose to leave. It is better to wait for the expo to end and then catch all the pirates!
Under the gaze of countless people at the port, the warship stopped. Luffy and his party stepped onto the port. At this time, reporters among the crowd began to take pictures.

Their expressions were extremely excited, as if they had seen "Pele".

In fact, this is exactly what happened. The person standing in front of them was the youngest admiral candidate. Luffy and the other three were also called the strongest in the world today!
"Let's go shopping separately."

Looking at the "lively" scene around them, Ace and Sabo decided to act separately to avoid attracting attention when many people gathered together.

Soto Square, which is a large square covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters, was originally the place where the Soto Kingdom held festivals.

The current Soto Square has all been turned into a hawker site. Thousands of floor shops are neatly placed in this large square, and the goods are also dazzling.

After asking his naval officers to settle down on the warship, Luffy took Nami to the square.

The reception team sent by the Soto Kingdom family was also driven away by Luffy. He didn't want a group of people to follow him shopping.

"What a beautiful necklace."

As she walked, Nami looked at an exquisite necklace on the ground, and her eyes immediately shone.

She was wearing ordinary clothes. Although when she was in the navy, there were specialized people who would make exquisite clothes for Luffy and Nami, but Nami and the others were not used to wearing those clothes at all.

Apart from military uniforms, they basically wear ordinary clothes they bought themselves.

Therefore, if you don't know them, you really can't connect them with the Navy Supernova.

Nami walked to the stall. The owner of the stall was a fat man...

It seems that the frequency of fat people in this world is quite high.

Luffy looked at the street stalls around him. Seven of the ten stalls were fat, and three had collapsed beds...

"Miss really has a good eye. This is a treasure that our sea... fleet fished out of the sea. It is rumored that it is a personal accessory for a certain king or princess!"

The fat boss rubbed his hands, squeezed out a funny smile, and tried his best to introduce his products.

Although he almost said that he was a pirate.

The exposition held by the Soto Kingdom does not mind the participation of pirates, but there must be no disputes during the exposition, and you must not disclose that you are a pirate, otherwise you will be arrested by the royal guards.

In fact, no pirate dares to disclose his identity now.

In the East China Sea, pirates have given themselves the name of adventurers or treasure hunters, otherwise they will be suppressed by the navy and the New World Government Army. Unless they have absolute confidence in their escape skills, no pirate dares to do anything casually. Coming out to cause trouble.

"Well, how much is it?"

Nami rubbed the necklace, and the cold touch made it difficult for her to let go.

"Hmm..." The fat boss' little eyes that could no longer be seen rolled, "Seeing as you like it so much, miss, then I'll endure the pain and get 200 million Baileys!"

"Two million Baileys? I think you might as well grab it."

Nami immediately started complaining that even if this necklace had the gimmick of being a personal accessory for a princess, it would only be worth 50 Baileys at most.

After all, this thing is not the princess herself. Unless it is someone with a special fetish, other people will definitely clean it and wear it themselves or wear it for the woman they like. The material and style must be considered.

The price of 200 million quoted by this fat man is just robbing people.

Luffy on the side also started to chime in, but his chime made the fat man uncomfortable.

"Sir, if you don't want to buy it, you can leave. I don't have to sell it to you, right?"

After listening to Luffy's words, the fat man forced a smile. With his previous temper, anyone who dared to speak like this would basically go see the King of the Near Sea.

But now he had no choice but to endure it.

At least, he, the fat man, doesn’t have the capital to challenge the rules set by the Soto Kingdom!
Just after the fat man finished speaking, the stall owners at the stalls nearby burst out laughing. Their eyes when they looked at the fat man were full of teasing and ridicule.

Where did this idiot come from? He didn't even know the current supernovas and general candidates in the navy. Not to mention flattery, he actually dared to kill these people. He really didn't know how to live or die.

The fat man seemed to be aware of it. He observed the surroundings keenly, and then he forced a smile again, "If this beautiful lady really likes it, the price of 50 yuan is not impossible."

Nami looked at Luffy in shock. She naturally knew that the fat man realized that their identities were unusual, so he chose to lower the price.

Luffy narrowed his eyes and glanced at Fatty, then he chuckled and threw 50 Baileys to Fatty. Then he picked up the necklace from Fatty's stall and handed it to Nami.

"Since the stall owner said 50 Baileys, let's take 50."

After the transaction was successful, the fat stall owner lowered his head, packed up the things on the stall, and ran away.

In less than 3 minutes, Fatty's booth was occupied.

The fat man who ran away was caught by a group of people in a small alley. He looked at the navy standing at the two exits of the alley with a sad face, and then raised his hands unwillingly to surrender.

He is a pirate with a bounty of 350 million beli. He is considered a big pirate in the East China Sea, which has now entered peace. Once caught by the navy, he will definitely undergo labor reform starting in 20 years.

Just a moment of greed has led to such disaster, fat man regrets it!
······
······
"Let's go, let's go see what the Soto Kingdom is doing."

After walking around with Nami for a long time, the expo outside had reached its last moments.

The auction held by Soto Kingdom has begun!

Arriving at Soto Square again, all the large and small stalls had disappeared, replaced by rows and rows of seats.

In the center of the square is a wooden platform about one meter high and covering an area of ​​tens of square meters.

Behind the wooden platform was a large curtain. Luffy used his sense of sight to detect the area and knew it was where the auction items were placed.

Below the wooden platform is the so-called "elegant seat".

There are ten golden silk leather sofas in total, and there are fresh fruit plates and expensive-looking red wine beside them.

Behind the ten "elegant seats" are rows of benches, which should be the so-called VIP seats.

In the back, that is to say, at the outer edge of the square, there are standing seats, and those who have no power and power can just stand here.

"Let's go, let's say hello to old friends."

Luffy took Nami and walked towards the man sitting on the sofa, silently flipping through the Bible in his hand.

"Snapped."

Bartholomew Bear closed the Bible in his hand and looked at Luffy sitting next to him with a smile.

Some people who had already found their own positions were trembling unconsciously. Is this a collision between strong men?
"Luffy, long time no see."

"Haha, Uncle Xiong, you are here this time."

Bartholomew Bear was originally the Shichibukai recognized by the World Government, and he did a pretty good job. He was originally planning to turn the Shichibukai into a force of the World Government before the World Government prepared to do so. When the time came, Bartholomew Bear chose to "rebellion".Oh, to be precise, he did not rebel, but returned to his own camp, that is, to the revolutionary army.

But the sudden disappearance of the World Government made his original plan come to nothing, so he naturally returned to the New World Government.

"What are you doing here?"

Xiong spoke calmly. There was still a lot of blood on the side of his seat.

Daxiong had easily defeated several pirate groups before, and everyone present could not bring up the idea of ​​going to the "Sea".

"Of course I'm here for that thing. It's true. We were all planning to go to the New World and all the countries, but I didn't expect that Donghai would cause such a big show for me."

Luffy picked up the apple from the fruit bowl next to his seat and started to chew it. He didn't say this to Big Bear. They really planned to go to Wanguo, because the scenery there was really good.

BIGMOM at least does this very well.

However, the appearance of the Roger Pirates' voyage log directly attracted the attention of the world. Even now that the pirates have been completely suppressed by the navy, the Roger Pirates' voyage log has caused an uproar.

Luffy looked around and saw that many "familiar" faces had arrived at the venue and chose their seats to sit down.

Xiong didn't answer, but looked up at the wooden platform silently.

As time progressed, the seats in the auction house were basically full.

But one very strange thing is that there are only two people in the "private seats", and even the now legendary [Escape Admiral] Creek in the East China Sea is sitting very quietly on the bench.

One is Bartholomew Bear, who comes on behalf of the New World Government.

The other one is Luffy, he is here on behalf of the navy.

Luffy turned his head and looked around, but he didn't see Ace. Shouldn't Ace appear at this time?

"It looks a little bad."

Soto III's mouth twitched as he strolled into the venue. He did not expect that even the pirates and underground forces would not have the guts to sit next to those two people.

Although this is the most correct choice.

Kath shook her husband's hand, and then sat down on the sofa next to Luffy very dignifiedly.

"Oh, isn't this the princess of Soto Kingdom?"

Nami stood next to Luffy and was chewing an apple, a little surprised.

The royal family actually participated in this auction?

The New World Government, the countries that join the New World Government, pirates, underground forces, and Luffy, the candidate for admiral, will almost wipe out all the forces in the sea.

Luffy sat up straight, it seemed that today's auction was a bit interesting.

Luffy didn't have to wait long before the auctioneer came up and everyone was in an uproar.

Because the auctioneer is Soto III! ! !
"Guests from all over the world, I know that many of you have grudges. But now please put aside the past holidays and let us end this expo perfectly."

Soto III waved his hand grandly, and a bunch of gold-edged plaques were handed out.

Luffy looked at the sign in his hand.

number three!
Big Bear is number two!
This is in the order of sitting down. Luffy did not choose the number one on the left side of Big Bear. There were signs that someone had sat on it.

"So, who is number one?"

Nami looked at No. [-] in Queen Kath's hand next to her with some amusement.

"The auction will start next. The first item is my mansion in the capital of the Soto Kingdom. The starting price is 50 Baileys, and each increase should not be less than 1 Baileys."

Soto III asked someone to push up a small cart with some documents on it, all of which were very formal certificates of property rights.

The people below began to whisper, this auction item is not a good item for outsiders, but it is an investment opportunity for the local people of Soto Kingdom.

"One million Baileys!"

"One million Baileys!"

"One million Baileys!"

······
According to Luffy's understanding, the land price in the capital of the Soto Kingdom is still very high. After all, it is a powerful country and very peaceful.

A mansion is at least worth more than a million yuan. It seems that this first auction item is to be taken out to make a fuss.

Sure enough, this mansion was taken by a local nobleman for 97 Baileys.

The next second auction item is a large dark blue gemstone.

It was still the local nobles who bid for it.

third piece...

Fourth item...

······
Luffy felt like he wanted to fall asleep. The auction had already reached item No. 18. The previous auction items had no way of attracting Luffy's interest.

"Next, No. 18 auction items." Soto III took a sip of water, and slowly looked at the impatient pirates.

"It's a 1000% discount on the weapons of our Soto Kingdom. The starting price is 10 million Baileys, and each increase should not be less than [-] Baileys."

Although the Soto Kingdom is no longer engaged in arms trading, if someone wants to buy some weapons, the Soto Kingdom is still happy to clear the inventory.

"50 million!"

Just when Soto III put down his hammer, a bearded man stood up impatiently. It seemed that he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"100 million!"

"130 million!"

Looking at the pirates who kept bidding and their eyes were red, Luffy suddenly lost interest.

He didn't quite understand the point of these pirates shouting so fiercely. Could it be that they thought they could leave safely with this offer when he, a candidate for general, was here?
No way, no way, no pirate is really that naive, right?

Or maybe they think that the New World Government is too weak and will not cause chaos in the territory of the franchised countries?

If that's the case, Luffy wouldn't mind getting these guys to change their minds about the New World Government.

They just respect the participating countries, not let them do whatever they want!
