"The person you're looking for is a slave?" Bastille couldn't help but be surprised.
In his eyes, the person that Kai was going to so much trouble to find should be some kind of special existence.
Now, risking the possibility of being hunted down by the Marines to come here and find a slave was too unexpected.
"Hehe, is that not allowed? The people who can be auctioned off as slaves are not simple goods." Kai chuckled and continued to browse the list in his hand.
However, unlike the original story, there were no so-called rare mermaid auction items here because of his intrusion.
As for the so-called Sky Islanders and Longarm Tribe, Kai wasn't interested.
"Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining 500 points of world turmoil value. The current balance is 503 points. 3500 points are still needed to lift the next random restriction."
The ethereal sound of the system suddenly rang out.
Kai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looking a little surprised.
However, he quickly remembered the matter of entrusting Shakky, and it seemed that her efficiency was faster than he had imagined.
Moreover, the Newcomer King, Fire Fist Ace, had brought him more world turmoil than expected.
This could be considered an unexpected gain.
"Alright, esteemed guests, it's almost time. Those who didn't arrive in time and missed this auction will have a great regret."
A shout suddenly rang out on the stage, quickly attracting everyone's attention.
Kai put down the product display board in his hand and looked towards the auction stage.
If he remembered correctly, the man wearing a suit should be Disco, who helped Shichibukai Doflamingo manage the human trafficking business.
Feeling the gazes that were cast from all around, a trace of excitement appeared on Disco's face.
The number of nobles who had come to this auction exceeded his expectations, which meant that the price returns that would be obtained at the next auction would be even greater.
Most importantly, these nobles were much easier to fool than those shrewd merchants and pirates.
Thinking of this, Disco felt that he was getting closer and closer to the position of a core member of the Donquixote Family.
That was an existence that was called the Black Market Emperor, and the word clown was second only to the Four Emperors.
Having this kind of big backer allowed this human auction house to be opened unscrupulously in the Sabaody Archipelago, and the business was getting bigger and bigger.
"Alright, everyone, the auction is about to begin now, but the method of our auction this time will change a little. At the same time, it's also to increase everyone's enjoyment."
Disco regained his senses and tried his best to make his voice more infectious.
As these words fell, they immediately caused a commotion among the nobles in the room.
In the eyes of these idle people, the segment of pleasing them was the time when their bodies and minds felt the most pleasant.
Feeling the eager gazes that were cast from all around, Disco immediately understood that his words had played a key role.
"Alright, since everyone is so enthusiastic, then let's not talk nonsense and just bring up the goods." Disco shouted urgently.
"Send up goods number one to eight."
As the words fell, the guards, who had already been waiting backstage, sent the slaves up one after another.
Eight in one style, two as a pair.
Among them, the first pair was a fish-giant and a black peony beauty with dark human skin. The second pair was a Longarm Tribe and a Longleg Tribe.
The third pair was a Sky Island girl with small wings and a fish-man with a ferocious face.
The fourth pair was a pink-haired girl wearing super-short hot pants and an old man with silver hair wearing a bleached cloak.
Watching these goods that were being sent up, the nobles in the room suddenly became lively.
"Look, that fish-giant's chest muscles are so strong. It's not bad to buy him back for viewing."
"Tch, you old woman, I don't believe you don't have any dirty thoughts."
"I say, that angelic and innocent Sky Island girl, that pitiful look, really makes me want to whip her hard and cut two knives on her face. That feeling is very refreshing."
The discussions that were coming out one after another pushed the atmosphere in the room to the extreme all of a sudden.
Disco's excitement in his eyes became even more intense as he witnessed this scene. After knocking the wooden hammer twice, he shouted urgently.
"Alright, everyone has seen that these are all high-quality goods. In order to allow everyone to participate in the fun of bidding, we'll start from a low price."
"The rare combination of a fish-man and a giant, producing a powerful fish-giant, and a girl with special skin color, the starting price is 500,000 Berries."
"500,000 Berries?" Bastille couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Can people be sold for such a high price?"
After all, the salaries of their Marines weren't high, and in the original story, Zoro had bought blades in Loguetown.
The Sandai Kitetsu was regarded as a cursed blade, but ordinary blades were also 10,000 to 20,000 Berries.
Right now, two slaves were being bid for 500,000 Berries as soon as they opened their mouths, which was enough to subvert Bastille's understanding.
"High?" Kai shook his head with a playful smile and said, "This is just the beginning."
The inexplicable words made Bastille stunned for a moment. The next moment, the bidding sounds that came one after another made his expression change drastically.
"600,000 Berries!"
"700,000 Berries!"
"800,000 Berries!"
"1,000,000 Berries!"
The rapid bidding sounds instantly made the price break through to one million.
Watching the usually fierce fish-giant on the stage actually reveal a look of panic, not to mention the dark-skinned girl beside him, who was already crying with tears streaming down her face.
On the contrary, the pink-haired girl who was standing with Rayleigh seemed unusually calm.
"One million for the first time, one million for the second time. Is there anyone who will bid more than one million!" Disco repeated twice, clearly planning to continue to raise the price.
"I, I bid 1,100,000 Berries!"
A man with tattered clothes rushed in at the entrance.
He was holding a large bag of crumpled Berries in his hands, looking at the dark-skinned girl, and shouted urgently, saying, "Disco, you promised that as long as I collected 1,000,000 Berries, you would redeem my fiancée for me. Why are you going back on your word!"
The sudden man broke the silence in the room, and the nobles all revealed contemptuous and disgusted expressions.
"Disco, who is this person? He smells so bad. Can any Tom, Dick, or Harry enter? This is lowering our noble status. Who will come in the future?"
"Hmph, I was originally planning to watch the show, but this lowly person doesn't deserve to have love. The most suitable thing for him is to be turned back on." A portly noble smiled playfully.
Then, under everyone's gaze, he raised his hand and said, "I bid 1,500,000 Berries."
"I bid 2,000,000!"
"2,500,000 Berries!"
The rapidly rising price made Bastille dumbfounded.
No! It should be said that it also made the man who had rushed over and the dark-skinned girl on the stage have blank faces at the same time.
They never expected that the only trace of hope that they had would be so easily crushed by the so-called nobles.
