Knowing that she had improved, Ace and the others did not find it strange. After all, she had made a name for herself when there was no one to directly guide her, proving that she had good talent.

Now she has the guidance of the navy's internal swordsmanship master. Although it is not a special one-on-one teaching, the occasional guidance is enough for her to improve a lot.

"We'll see. Even if you join the Whitebeard Pirates, I won't give up hunting you down."

"Ahahaha, come on, just come on."

Ace was happy for Iska to regain her faith. Although she still wanted to catch him, he was not afraid at all and was even provoking her.

"Hey, calm down and stop making trouble here."

"Look, we are almost at the top. The scenery outside is so beautiful!"

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting over a disagreement, Zeus was frightened and hurriedly stopped them, then tried to divert their attention.

At this time, the Ferris wheel cabin where several people were located was indeed about to reach the apex.

Looking out from inside, there is a wonderful view overlooking the entire Chabaobab Archipelago.

Deuce's words did work. Ace and Iska stopped arguing with each other and looked outside together.

From a high-altitude perspective, the beautiful and dreamy islands and the panoramic views are intoxicating. The ocean and sky in the distance complement each other, making people feel relaxed and happy, just like a splendid painting.

"The scenery is really nice. It's worth what I've been talking about for so long."

After getting off the Ferris wheel, Deuce's face was full of emotion.

"Haha, Deus, do you want to ride two more wheels?"

"Go away, you're not a child anymore, aren't you having enough fun?"

"Okay, let's go. I want to buy some more senbei."

"Goodbye, Iska."

The two chatted and laughed as they walked towards the street. When they turned back to say goodbye to Iska, they saw her smile slightly and slowly draw out her sword.

Deuce's eyes widened and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"No way, what to do?"

"Oh? Is it starting again? Run! Deus."

As if knowing what she was going to do, Ace pulled Deuce up and ran into the alley at high speed.

Holding a sword, Iska chased after him.

"do not go!"

"We're not leaving, we're running!"

Ace, who was walking through the streets and alleys, heard the voice coming from behind him. He didn't even turn his head and continued to turn corners in the alley with Deuce.

"Running, huh? Keep running."

Iska was blocking the alley and walked slowly towards them.

"Ahaha, wait a minute."

"Deus, you go first, I'll be right there."

Ace looked at the wall that suddenly appeared in front of him and let Deuce go first.

"Okay, I'll wait for you over there."

After saying that, Deus took a few steps back, gathered his strength, and rushed forward, quickly climbing to the top of the wall and flipping over.

Ace turned around and smiled:

"Hey, it's been a long time since we last met, come on."

"Thorns!"

Ignoring his smiling face, Iska stabbed out with her sword without saying a word.

Although it was still very weak, her sword was indeed covered with a thin layer of Armament Haki that was visibly visible to the naked eye.

Ace's eyes flashed, and he met the attack with his fist of armed color domineering.

"Ding!"

With swords pointing at fists, neither man gave in and started another round of fierce fighting in the alley.

After a long period of practice, Iska has made great progress.

She moved freely, sword shadows flashed, and the wind whistled in the air.

Ace, who mainly dodged and blocked, handled the situation easily as usual in this not-so-wide venue.

Iska's improvement is still not as great as Ace's.

After briefly going through a few moves, Ace felt that it was about time to reunite with Deus.

"Fire Pillar, Flash!"

"Oh!"

Ace threw a punch toward the sky above him, and a circular pillar of fire shot up several meters from the ground, repelling Iska who was approaching him and blocking her sight.

Iska took two steps back, and when the pillar of fire disappeared, Ace was nowhere to be seen.

"Humph, you're just playing tricks."

Although she said this, she did not continue to chase. She stared at the high wall in front of her for a while, put away her sword and turned to leave.

Ace and Deuce ran through several alleys and blended into the crowd on the street again.

"Come on, Deuce, go buy some senbei with me."

"Doesn't it matter?"

Seeing that he was still obsessed with the senbei, Deuce gestured to the back, but was grabbed by Ace and walked directly into the shop next door.

"no problem."

……

"Dear guests! Today's auction officially begins."

The curtain opened at the booth inside the auction, and the auctioneer announced the opening of the auction after a few warm-up lines.

He walked to the left side of the center of the booth, where there was a small display cabinet that had been set up by the staff.

"This is the finale item of this auction, the Animal-type Dog-Dog Fruit."

"As a secret treasure of the sea, the rarity and preciousness of devil fruits need no further explanation from me."

"Come on! Let's all witness this fruit together. Eating it has magical powers!"

After saying that, he grabbed the red cloth that was originally covering the display case with one hand and quickly lifted it up.

"Ouch!"

"Is this what he looks like? He really cut his butt with a knife."

As he unveiled the red cloth, the people in the audience started to discuss the matter lively. Those who had seen a devil fruit and those who had not seen one were all whispering to each other.

Many guests even showed an attitude of determination, as if they were determined to get the fruit.

"Hmm? Is that delicious?"

Seeing the fruits with messy patterns and strange looks on the counter, Gallot asked Jerry a soul-searching question.

"Well...it depends on whether you like carrot-flavored Olegay or carrots with Olegay flavor."

"Eh~ How disgusting! Gallo paid special attention to him. He has so much experience, he must have eaten this before."

Hearing his vivid description, Kalina glanced at him with disdain and came to a conclusion.

"Ah this..."

Jerry was speechless, but couldn't refute because he had really eaten a devil fruit, although it was second-hand and something that even dogs wouldn't eat.

"Devil Fruit……"

The armored men over there were also a little tempted by the magical fruit on the stage, but they didn't discuss it too much. After all, their purpose was not here. It would be better if they could get it, but it didn't matter if they couldn't.

After everyone in the audience discussed for a while, the auctioneer felt that the atmosphere had reached a climax, so he spoke again:

"Well, next, let's welcome the first lot!"

He stood in the center of the booth and gestured with his hand, and the staff backstage cooperated by pushing out a mysterious object that was also covered.

Next, some rare items came on stage, including artworks with collectible value and sharp weapons and swords, etc., which were bought one by one by the rich people present in the audience.

One of them was bought by Scar. It was a metal arm guard with a skull pattern. It was said to be a masterpiece made by a deceased master and was obtained in the waters of the Devil's Triangle.

No one knew the truth, but the appearance touched Scar's heart, so he won the bid without hesitation.

"Okay, next is the auction of a batch of fine slaves. Please come in."

The auctioneer was so excited that there had not been a single item that failed to sell that he continued to shout loudly and passionately.

Afterwards, a group of staff members drove many slaves and walked out slowly in a line.

Jerry's eyes fixed when he saw the group of slaves walking out with shackles on their bodies and their heads lowered.

"No way, this old man, is he short of money again?"

Skarr also blinked and asked uncertainly:

"Jerry, that... is that Lao Lei?"
