Pirates: There is no prohibition of fishing in Marijoa.

"If you and I are not blind, I think it is Lao Lei."

"How come he is among those slaves, and is about to be auctioned off?"

"Haha, you ask me, who should I ask?"

Skarl was completely confused when a legendary pirate appeared among the group of slaves who came on stage.

Jerry could probably remember that Reilly did have such a hobby. It seemed that because of gambling or drinking, he liked to do this when he had no money.

Anyway, if he sells it at the auction house, he won't lose a single piece of meat and can still get a lot of money. It's a profitable business with no capital investment, so why not do it?

Carrot tilted his head to look at them. Karina heard their chattering and asked curiously:

"Why? Do you know the people up there?"

"Oh, that's the master who applied film to our ship before. He's a powerful legendary figure."

"Then now he..."

"I'll explain it to you later. Anyway, don't bother with it. He can't possibly suffer a loss here."

After each of them finished speaking, Jerry and Scar changed their mood and continued to look at the booth.

Garrot was also looking at the slaves on the stage. For her, who was still very young, this was the first time she had seen a slave auction.

"Brother Jerry, are those people...going to be sold?"

Garrot seemed to be in a low mood. She had only heard of slave auctions before but had never seen one. Being a kind-hearted person, she instinctively felt that this was not a good thing.

Although there were slaves on Duoye Island, they were all locked in cages and were in the midst of a battle, so she didn't have many thoughts.

"Yes, this place is so cruel, but someone will take care of it."

Jerry patted her little head gently and said casually, glancing at Rayleigh inconspicuously. If Old Ray didn't take action, he decided to wait and see what happened.

After Carrot nodded in confusion, Jerry looked at the armored man again.

After the slaves walked onto the stage, the armored men and their gang became excited immediately. However, since many people in the venue were also cheering at this time, they did not seem out of place.

"Princess…"

"Keep your voice down, don't make any noise."

The conspicuous armored man was about to get excited, but was stopped by the gentleman man.

"Princess?"

"Yeah, I heard that too."

But their voices still reached the ears of Jerry, who had been paying attention to them.

Garrott seemed to have heard the same thing. Perhaps it was her long ears that were working. When she saw Jerry turn his head, she looked over there.

"Brother Jerry, is there a princess on the stage?"

"I don't know, but they did say it."

It seemed that she was very interested in the word "princess". Carrot's eyes were full of stars and her hands were clasped in front of her chest. It was unknown what she was fantasizing about.

The armored men came from a small country, the Teton Kingdom.

It is a non-member country of the World Government. Although it is not protected by the navy and the government, the kingdom's guard has always been strong, so the people can still live a stable and prosperous life.

However, not long ago, when the captain of the guard Valk was escorting the king and the caravan back from a voyage, he learned that the royal palace had been destroyed by pirates who took advantage of the situation and Princess Maritis was missing.

Valk was extremely angry. The princess had been in love with him for many years, and the king had approved their marriage.

But at this time, when he was away, the pirates attacked.

Looking at the devastated country destroyed by artillery fire, he roared in anger and vowed to get to the bottom of the matter.

Afterwards, he took a small team of elite guards and the kingdom's minister who had been his partner for a long time, and went out to sea to chase the pirate group.

After making inquiries from many sources, they finally realized that it was not a pirate group that simply wanted to destroy and plunder, but a group that worked part-time to provide slaves to human traffickers.

After a long journey, they finally intercepted and defeated the pirates in the Sabaody Archipelago, but learned that the princess had already been sold to an auction house along with other captured civilians.

The armored man, Valk, clenched his fists, not wanting to wait even a second longer.

Their original plan was to sneak into the auction venue and see if there was a chance to rescue the princess directly. If there was a chance, they would consider taking direct action.

If there is no good opportunity, then watch who took the princess away and then intercept and rescue them on the road.

But the scale of this auction was not small. After entering, they saw many people from different forces present.

That was why Valk had a conflict of opinion with the kingdom's minister, the gentleman, because he was afraid that a more difficult force would bid for the princess, or that he would accidentally lose the princess again.

Looking at Princess Maritis, whose face was haggard and wearing a slave collar and iron chains under the light, Valk's eyes were cold and he was furious.

Deciding not to bother with the bullshit plan, he stood up from his seat and walked straight to the booth while the auctioneer was still introducing the advantages of the slaves one by one.

The gentleman grabbed him, but because he didn't have enough strength, he was dragged several meters away.

Slapping Valk's arm hard, the gentleman whispered another plan to him.

The new plan was to wait until the princess was auctioned off and then they would make a direct bid, buy the princess, and then take the opportunity to rescue the person when they went to pay for the transaction.

Valk turned his head to look at him, temporarily restraining his cold and stern aura, but he did not stop walking slowly towards the booth, and finally stopped in front of the booth, behind the VIP table.

Fortunately, at this moment, everyone in the venue was still discussing enthusiastically following the auctioneer's words, and some people, like him, wanted to approach the booth and take a closer look at the slaves.

"Okay, let's continue with the auction."

"The first one is the famous pirate Aoko. His original bounty was 700 million berries. He is very skilled and strong."

"He can fight ten people at once and has extraordinary endurance. He can work like a slave. If people are interested, he can even be a punching bag."

"One person can use it for multiple purposes, and it can meet your various needs. The base price is..."

The auctioneer was giving a passionate speech on the stage while people were whispering to each other below the stage. Many people looked down on pirate slaves, but there were also many who were interested in them.

The auction continued in a warm atmosphere.

"Good news, good news, please pay attention, distinguished friends."

"Next, we have our usual heavy slave in the midfield."

"Look at this beautiful face and hot devil body. She is the most beautiful slave we have finally obtained."

"She is Princess Maritis from a non-member country. She is good at singing and dancing, and is proficient in both literature and martial arts. She can satisfy all your fantasies."

"Don't miss it if you pass by it. Action is worse than thought. If you buy it, you will earn money!"

"If you hesitate, you will lose the opportunity. If you hesitate, you will come in vain."

"Dear guests, please start your performance!"

Signaling the staff to gently pull Maritis out a step, the auctioneer's introduction caused a heated response from the audience, especially the men present, whose eyes widened and whistles rang out everywhere.

Upon hearing her own name, Maritis, who was dressed elegantly and seductively, turned pale.

She bit her lips tightly, raised her head slightly, and with her tearful eyes, she vaguely saw the man she loved deeply.

Unsure whether the figure was real or fake, she murmured:

"Is this an illusion, Valk?"

"That's right, why am I still hesitating?"

Valk saw his beloved woman in tears and heard her calling his name in a trance.

He didn't care about any plans at all. His expression was extremely determined and he suddenly raised his legs and rushed forward quickly.

While all eyes on the stage and the audience were focused on the princess, he rushed to the devil fruit in the direction he was heading at lightning speed.

Before the guard could react, he repelled him with a thunderous blow and then smashed the devil fruit display cabinet with a punch.

He took out the fruit and swallowed it in one gulp, then without wasting a second, he rushed towards the princess like the wind.

After punching again and knocking away the staff around her who wanted to obstruct her, Valk hugged his lover who had been separated for a long time.

"vomit!"

"Maritis, are you okay? Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."

"Come with me, we'll set off soon and go back to our happy home. Ha!"

Valk tried to maintain his affectionate gaze and serious expression, but he kept vomiting because of the devil fruit he ate.
