A Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

Because he slightly relaxed his own limitations, Jon's perception was very sharp.

Almost instinctively, he sensed that someone was spying on him.

Looking along the obscure line of sight, Jon saw an old man with a hunched back.

In other words, an old fish.

Yes.

What caught his eye was a gray-skinned fishman.

Judging from its appearance, it must be plaice?

Old Flounder was obviously unprepared.

He was a little flustered at first, and his eyes became evasive.

But then, as if he had made up his mind, he came directly to Jon and said with a smile: "Friend, you are very vigilant."

Jon said calmly: "It's okay."

After pondering for a moment, his face turned cold, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, the threat was quite obvious.

Old Man Flounder was not afraid and grinned: "Hey, don't be so nervous. People who know me call me Daddy Hook. I saw that you were a stranger, so I looked at you twice. I didn't mean anything else. .”

"Oh?" Jon looked at the old plaice man who called himself 'Daddy Hook' and wrote lightly: "You are just deceiving those young children who have never suffered a big loss. I really think I can't feel anything. Is it hostility?”

Oh, what a prickly idea.

Father Hook's expression was slightly stagnant, but he quickly returned to normal and said to Jon: "Okay, okay, I know you are not a chick, just pretend that what happened before didn't happen."

As he said that, he handed Jon something like a bone: "This is a token of our Flying Pirates. If you have anything to do in the future, you can come to me on this island. It can be regarded as a small compensation."

The Flying Pirates?

Jon searched the name in his mind.

Then a wretched fish-man like a meerkat jumped out in front of him.

The Captain of the Flying Pirates, Vanderdaken IX, is a perverted fishman who has a crush on the mermaid princess Shirahoshi.

Not only is he extremely controlling, but he is also a manipulator.

Jon took the bone and said casually: "The Flying Pirates... Hey, you fishmen are still at ease. You can go wherever you want. You don't have to wait in line to draw numbers here."

A smug smile appeared on Father Hook's face: "That's - we fishmen are definitely the best in this regard."

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up.

He asked Jon: "What do you call your little brother?"

Jon said without thinking: "Green."

"Brothers Grimm, right? We haven't known each other since we started fighting. Judging from your appearance, it must be your first time attending the auction of the Don Quixote family, right?"

"Let me remind you, you can buy things here, but you must not get involved, and don't think about killing people and grabbing treasures. Otherwise, the patrol guards and the thugs of the Don Quixote family will not let you go. .”

"Of course, what happens outside the island is another matter."

Father Hook looked like he had come before: "Even a rat in the sewer must follow the rules of the sewer, what do you think?"

Jon didn't answer and asked, "You mean, this is the property of the Don Quixote family?"

Hearing this, Father Hook scanned the surroundings and lowered his voice: "No one will admit it, but there is no airtight wall in the world. It is said that someone saw the cadres of the Don Quixote family, and then they inferred..."

Jon said 'oh'.

think carefully.

It's not that hard to understand.

After all, strictly speaking, the rise of the Chambord Islands was part of Doflamingo's deal.

Who is ‘Tian Yaksha’?

He is an intermediary between black and white.

Before Jon took over the Chambord Islands, he, the big boss code-named ‘joker’, was taking care of all the big and small affairs, both black and white.

Then Jon became a god in the battle at the top, and then took over the territory and became emperor. Doflamingo's hard days came.

To put it simply, it is a functional conflict between the two parties.

Doflamingo had no food.

to this end.

He also repeatedly beat up the Straw Hat Pirates to prove to Jon that he was not someone to be trifled with.

And the result...

Um.

It can only be said that Doflamingo is indeed a pirate runner.

Running really just means one word - fast!

Just now.

Although the fight on the surface ended in failure, in the secret contest, the flamingo was not very willing to admit defeat.

No.

Where Jon has no time to care.

The Doflamingo family's auction has started.

And according to what this old fish man said, the auction has been established for a while, and I don’t know how many taps have been made...

"You still want to evade taxes in my territory?" Jon muttered quietly.

At this moment, the surrounding lights suddenly dimmed.

Jon knew that the auction was about to begin.

But what he didn't know was that just a door away, Bigfoot Green was rummaging through his pockets, looking like he was about to cry.

"My token... I spent a lot of money to buy it..."

He was so anxious that he was sweating all over.

If he couldn't buy a coating spot from the auction, he couldn't even imagine how long he would have to stay in this place where money was flowing like water.

Back to business.

While the real Bigfoot was stamping his feet anxiously, the imposter 'Bigfoot Green' was squinting at the products on display in the center of the venue.

"Devil Fruit! Yes, this is a Devil Fruit that has been identified by experts and is 100% capable of acquiring magical powers!"

What appeared in the field of vision was a peach-like fruit. It's just that the surface of this fruit is covered with spiral patterns, which makes people look weird and dizzy.

"Either superhuman or animal." Jon touched his smooth chin.

Starting the auction with a Devil Fruit is obviously a good choice. The base price of 100 million Baileys, whether high or low, is just right to heat up the atmosphere.

Thinking of this, Jon raised his hands and shouted like a real participant: "One hundred and ten million."

This sound was like a signal, and the bidders started bidding.

In the end, this devil fruit was successfully accepted by Jon for a price of 230 million.

When he succeeded in bidding, a burly thug in a suit came over and said angrily: "Please submit a deposit first, and when the auction ends, make up the balance, and the thing will be yours."

Jon threw him a card casually - it was the membership savings card of the official bank of the Chambord Islands.

The thug was obviously very knowledgeable and knew that the young man in front of him was a great person. He held the card and left respectfully.

After a while, a tall and thin man with two bright red marks on his face came over and said to Jon: "Hello, I am the person in charge here, you can call me Mr. D."

Jon blinked.

What Mr. D.

Isn't it Diamante?

One of the top cadres of Don Quixote's family, he represents the 'square' in the family.

It seems that Doflamingo is quite generous, and he is even willing to send the top cadre here...

You must know that if you work under the eyes of the enemy, you will be shattered if you are not careful.

"This place is not suitable for a distinguished guest of your status. Please come with me." Diamanti spoke in a deep voice and invited Jon to the member's private room.

Of course Jon wouldn't take no for an answer.

And Father Hook quietly watched the retreating figures of Jon and Diamanti, a glint flashed in his triangular eyes...

After all, the environment in the member's private room is much better than outside.

Not only is there no choking second-hand smoke, there are even fruit refreshments and the like.

Diamanti specifically instructed that if you have any special needs, you can always tell the waitress outside the door.

Jon shrugged noncommittally.

After Diamanti left, he easily found the surveillance phone bug hidden in the private room. However, he did not show any surprise. Instead, he felt that the Don Quixote family's approach was not grand enough.

The auction continues...

Except for the original Devil Fruit.

For ordinary goods, Jon didn't even bother to ask for a price.

Among them, the most popular item is the coating quota, and even one of them has been sold for a high price of 300 million, which is more popular than Devil Fruit.

Understandable.

After all, the Chambord Islands are the midpoint of the Grand Route. One or two pirates who can come here have ambitions that can be expressed or suppressed in their hearts. No one will give up easily and enter the new world.

Jon touched his smooth chin and looked thoughtful.

At this moment, the appearance of a product made his face look a little ugly.

That's a mermaid.

In other words, mermaid slaves.

Generally speaking, Jon used to call female fishmen 'mermaids'. What appeared in front of him was a beautiful-looking mermaid with a miserable expression. She lowered her head, not daring to look at the big and powerful pirates under the stage. She seemed to have understood her next fate.

"Okay, okay, even the Celestial Dragons don't dare to do the slave business here. You, Doflamingo, are really brave." Jon smiled, his eyes extremely cold.

He had the intention to kill Doflamingo with a single thought, but he felt that such a result was a bit too merciful for an ambitious man who aspired to become the master of the dark world...

"You don't need me to tell you how popular fish-men slaves are right now. As for the reason, hey, you all know."

The host smiled and pointed to the bottom of his feet.

He didn't say everything, but everyone knew the attitude of the owner of this place towards slave merchants.

Navy, pirates, gangsters and even Celestial Dragons are allowed here.

However, slave traders cannot.

Things are rare and valuable.

This is an eternal truth.

As long as the reward is big enough, there is nothing in this world that you can't do.

Obviously, not only the rich and powerful pirates participated in this secret auction, but also the real rich men hiding in the box. They were generous and raised the price of mermaid slaves to an absurd level.

Jon watched silently, then raised his hand to bid.

He gave an even more outrageous price.

It was so outrageous that the host was afraid that he would regret it, so he rang out the countdown a few minutes faster than usual.

Father Hook in the audience heard Jon's voice, and the greed in his eyes almost turned into reality. But he has been able to hang out in this lawless land for so long, so he naturally knows what to touch and what not to touch.

Being able to sense his prying eyes in the first place meant that the boy was not a weakling. If you want to start, it's best to call your brothers and friends...

Thinking of this, this slippery old fish man simply stopped watching the excitement and simply slipped out of the auction house to find his boss, Vanderdeken IX.

In the main control room, Diamanti was also a little surprised.

He held Jon's VIP savings card, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

A big customer.

When did such a ruthless person appear in the Chambord Islands, who spends money like water without feeling any distress?

After thinking for a moment, he said to the person next to him: "Baby5, after that guy leaves, follow him quietly and find out his details."

"Yes." The baby held the cigarette in his mouth and silently took note of the target's appearance.

I thought that the mermaid slave was already the highlight of the auction.

Unexpectedly, the real heavyweight was actually a piece of news.

"This is true and reliable news. You must believe in the credibility of our auction... There is an extremely powerful Devil Fruit hidden somewhere, which can give people an almost endless lifespan!"

If you said this in a pub, others would just think it was bragging.

But if it becomes a ‘commodity’, then the meaning becomes somewhat intriguing.

No one is stupid.

Faced with such news, they didn't even bother to raise their hands and make an offer.

Endless lifespan?

If that's the case, then why didn't the owner behind the auction go get it and instead let the news out?

Isn't this a trap?

In the private room, Jon was thoughtful.

In his mind, there are a total of five fruits related to life span: Childlike Fruit, Retrogression Fruit, Age Fruit, Surgery Fruit, and finally the Bat Fruit, Phantom Beast Species, and Vampire Form.

Considering that the first four Devil Fruits all have owners, the only possibility is the Bat Fruit.

I just don’t know how the Don Quixote family knew the whereabouts of this precious fruit and even put it up for public auction.

"Fate is really interesting." Jon muttered under his breath, and raised his hand, "I'll give you one billion."

In one fell swoop, it became a surefire success.

Others knew from the previous bidding process that Jon did not regard money as money at all, and they decisively did not bid with this big dog.

And the host is also happy for someone to pay for this news, which is not known to be true or false, to make it final.

"Okay, first time in a billion."

"For the second time in a billion."

"Third time in a billion!"

"make a deal!"

…

…

Amyra nestled in a special water tank in despair, waiting for her tragic fate.

Suddenly, a beam of light shines in.

The man whose face could not be seen clearly approached slowly.

Amyra didn’t dare to look up.

Because she knew that once she raised her head, she would call the human in front of her 'master'...

However, she does not have the ability to stop time.

In a dead atmosphere.

The sound of falling water broke the silence in the house.

Amyra looked at the strange peach-like fruit floating in front of her, and looked out of the water tank in confusion.

The man's expression was extremely calm, and he said in a deep voice: "Eat."

Amyra shuddered.

The other party's words seemed to have magical power, making her unable to resist at all.

Trembling, Amyra held the spiral peach and took a bite.

The moment the juice entered her mouth, she was immediately nauseated by the taste.

Swear to God.

She has never eaten anything tastier than this, and even those inferior nutritious meals are ten thousand times better than this!

But the man smiled slightly, "Very good, you have become a capable person now. Now, come out of this ridiculous box, and I will take you to kill people."
