"I didn't expect that you would be able to recognize Konpira and my identity. This kind of insight doesn't seem like it belongs to an unknown person." Momousagi took Konpira over.
For a swordsman, the sword was something that absolutely couldn't be separated from their body.
At the same time, it was also something that absolutely couldn't be lent out casually.
However, after seeing Kai openly challenge Jackal, who was related to the Four Emperors and the Beast Pirates, and even openly ask to borrow a sword, a strange thought popped up in Momousagi's mind.
She eagerly wanted to see what abilities this young man had.
For outsiders, they might not be able to see Kai's actions clearly.
But Momousagi, as a vice admiral candidate, also controlled Kenbunshoku Haki. Apart from not being able to react in the initial moment, she had captured the last trace at the moment when Kai sheathed his sword.
A lightning-fast drawing slash! A lightning-type Devil Fruit ability!
At the same time, he also had extraordinary spirit and strength!
All of this completely matched all the information about the competitor who had been troubling Momousagi during this period of time.
"Are you Laxus?" Momousagi couldn't help but ask.
Kai raised his eyebrows and revealed a trace of surprise.
However, as a transmigrator, he immediately thought of a ridiculous conclusion in his mind about Momousagi's straightforward tone, her current status, and the recent drama related to him in the Marine from Ain's mouth.
It seemed that he was attracting a lot of attention!
"I am!" Kai had guessed Momousagi's thoughts, but he didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.
Watching this scene, Momousagi subconsciously clenched the scabbard in her hand.
However, before she could react, the old man on the high platform shouted again.
"Alright, there are only three auction items left. Apart from the two trump card Zoan-type Devil Fruits, there's also a strange bear-man."
"This bear-man can not only speak human language but also knows some martial arts. The most important thing is that it's a bit cute and silly. If everyone auctions it off and brings it back, perhaps there will be unexpected surprises..."
As the old man's voice fell, several strong men quickly carried a cage onto the stage.
The thick silver-white fat body inside and the silly expression made the pirates in the field confused.
They were all vicious pirates, and everyone had a lot of blood on their hands.
If they wanted to find a crew member or a mount, they should find something fierce.
Something that could increase their face, right?
Right now, finding a silly bear-man to board the ship would make them feel like they were joining a circus.
"Cough cough, there's not much time left, so let's continue to start. The starting price for this silly bear-man is 100,000 Berries, and each bid must be 50,000!"
Feeling the awkward atmosphere in the field, the old man couldn't help but cough and quickly started the auction.
In fact, this was a common routine used by auction houses. They would first take out a cheap item to slightly boost the popularity before the trump card items appeared.
When the trump card items were on stage later, it would be able to usher in a small peak of rebound.
However, as the old voice dissipated, there wasn't the slightest sound of bidding in the huge field.
It made the field fall into a strange silence.
Was it going to be a failure? A trace of embarrassment appeared on the old man's face.
During ordinary auctions, there were nobles, royalty, and Celestial Dragons to support the scene.
This kind of strange species could at least be auctioned off for a good price.
Now, after the Skeletal Demon's commotion, the No. 1 auction house had been wiped out in one fell swoop.
Even the Celestial Dragons had been beheaded in public, so who would dare to come and join in the fun at this juncture.
It could be said that if it weren't for the two Devil Fruits, there probably wouldn't even be any pirates.
Seeing that no one was bidding, the old man hesitated for a moment and was about to take the item down when a sudden voice popped out.
"My ship just happens to be lacking a mascot. I'll take this bear-man for 150,000 Berries!" Kai raised his hand to show his position.
As these words fell, the gazes of many people in the field fell on Kai in unison.
Faced with the strong scene of killing Jackal just now, not to mention this bear-man, no one wanted it.
Even if someone was bidding, they would probably have to obediently withdraw in the face of Kai.
"Captain, my good captain, someone has finally bought me. I'm about to starve to death!" The white bear bit his collar at once and cried pitifully.
The old man at the auction couldn't help but be stunned. Watching the scene, which was still silent, he couldn't care too much and sighed and directly announced, "Congratulations to this sir for obtaining the special bear-man..."
"This is the controller for its explosive collar. Sir, you must not be deceived by its cute appearance. It will knock you unconscious and run away when you're not paying attention."
The old man signaled the guard to hand the controller to Kai.
To make the slaves completely convinced, the most basic way was to use an explosive collar to control them.
However, watching the white bear, whose expression had suddenly fallen into silence,
Kai said faintly, "Release it."
Release it here?
The guard couldn't help but be stunned.
"Damn it, are you questioning this sir's strength and deterrence? Do as you're told!" The old man shouted urgently.
He didn't know why Kai wanted to do this.
But he clearly knew that as a powerhouse, the thing they hated the most was explaining and others not doing as they were told.
"U...Understood!" The guard hurried forward and opened the cage.
Watching the white bear, who had walked out of the cage and had a height of nearly 2.5 meters and a figure like an iron tower,
Kai raised his eyebrows and said, "Lower your head!"
The inexplicable order stunned the white bear first, and then it said in a deep voice, "You promised me that you needed a mascot, so don't play with me casually, otherwise...hmph!"
"I know martial arts!"
Watching the white bear perform a golden rooster standing on one leg, Kai rolled his eyes helplessly.
Outsiders might not know the origin of this guy, but Kai clearly knew it.
This was Bepo, a member of the Heart Pirates, led by Trafalgar Law, who was known as the Surgeon of Death and was one of the Supernovas in the original work.
However, due to Kai's intrusion and the timeline being two years earlier, Kai had taken the lead and encountered it.
As a rare race in One Piece and also possessing the Sulong form, the strength and value of the Mink Tribe were still very good.
It would have been fine if he hadn't encountered it, but since he had the opportunity to encounter it right now, Kai would naturally not let go of this mascot.
"You...Why are you looking at my neck? Be careful of my fist..." Bepo was stunned for a moment and hurriedly shouted.
However, before he could finish speaking, his vision blurred.
The figure that he had been locking onto had long disappeared.
When he came back to his senses, that familiar taste had already appeared behind him!
Too fast! Bepo was stunned!
He had been in the backstage all along, so he didn't know what had happened in the front.
Right now, faced with Kai's speed, which was as fast as a ghost, the images of the two big shots floated in his mind!
This time, he had run into a brick wall!
