One Piece: The system is only activated after leaving the Navy.

Luo Tian looked at Enel, who had obediently shut his mouth and remained silent, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

This guy is quite sensible! But it's just a scare tactic. If he really frightens Enel too much, it might cause him some psychological trauma or stress reaction, which would be a loss.

Thinking of this, Luo Tian ignored Enel and turned to walk towards Dan.

"Dan, how long will it take to get to the Don Quixote family's territory?"

Luo Tian walked to Dan's side and asked softly.

Dan naturally understood Luo Tian's intention in asking this question, and quickly replied:

"We'll be there soon. At our current speed, we should be able to reach our destination in two or three days. Don't worry, we'll definitely make it to the auction."

Hearing Dan's confident reply, Luo Tian nodded in satisfaction, indicating his approval.

Before long, Luo Tian and his group finally arrived safely at the Don Quixote family territory in Beihai.

As soon as they set foot on the island, Doflamingo, who was far away on the island, immediately noticed the arrival of Luo Tian and the others.

Doflamingo's String-String Fruit ability had already covered the entire island with threads when he first established it as his territory, making it easier to sense anyone or anything that entered the island.

Doflamingo was sitting in a luxurious sofa chair, holding a recent newspaper, the front page of which prominently featured news and photos of Luo Tian.

Just then, he suddenly sensed the subtle fluctuations caused by Luo Tian and the others stepping into the island's territory.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect this auction to attract you too, Luo Tian."

After saying that, Doflamingo slowly put down the newspaper in his hand that reported on Luo Tian's information, stood up, called over the Donquixote Family executives, and prepared to welcome this uninvited guest.

As soon as Luo Tian and his crew entered the island, they instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

The reason was simple: the pirates who had gathered there for the auction recognized them at a glance.

After all, the deeds of Luo Tian and his companions had already spread throughout the entire sea through various channels. Although they had disappeared for a period of time, the latest newspaper reports had once again brought their fame back into the spotlight.

"Look! Isn't that Luo Tian?"

"It really is him! I heard he's been missing for a long time..."

"Why are they here this time? Are they also here for that auction item?"

The pirates whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with curiosity and awe.

Just then, Luo Tian and his group slowly walked to the entrance of the auction house.

However, before they could even step through the gate, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared in mid-air—it was Doflamingo! He leisurely used the power of the String-String Fruit, his body hovering in the air like a supreme ruler, bending slightly to look down at Luo Tian and the others below.

"Welcome, Luo Tian! I really didn't expect that a mere small auction would attract you here after you just showed up."

Doflamingo wore a contemptuous smile, his tone laced with provocation.

Before Luo Tian could respond to the arrogant Doflamingo, Mihawk, standing to the side, suddenly drew his black sword, Yoru, from his back. With a swift movement, a sword aura shot out, slashing straight at Doflamingo.

Seeing this, Doflamingo raised his leg to try and block the incoming sword energy, but Hawkeye's target was the line beneath his feet.

Instantly, the threads that had been supporting Doflamingo in mid-air snapped.

Losing his support, Doflamingo leaped through the air and landed in front of Luo Tian.

"It's too high up, I can't hear you."

Hawkeye sheathed his black sword and fixed his gaze on Doflamingo.

The moment Doflamingo landed, his subordinates immediately assumed fighting stances.

Meanwhile, Luo Tian's crew members were equally determined, watching their opponents intently, ready to face any potential fierce conflict.

In an instant, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely tense, as if a single spark could ignite an earth-shattering battle.

As tensions between the two sides escalated and the situation seemed on the verge of erupting, both Luo Tian and Doflamingo simultaneously gestured to their respective forces to temporarily cease hostilities.

Doflamingo turned and looked at Luo Tian with a smile on his face.

"Hahahaha, I just love standing at the highest point."

With that, he burst into laughter again, then turned and led his group of cadres swaggering toward the auction house.

At the same time, he turned around and shouted loudly at Luo Tian:

"Welcome to my auction, Luo Tian. I hope you can find what you're looking for here."

However, Luo Tian knew perfectly well what Doflamingo meant by his seemingly enthusiastic words—Doflamingo never intended to sell the Gold-Gold Fruit; it was merely a pretext to attract customers.

"Don't worry, Flamingo, I wasn't planning on buying it anyway. I'm a pirate, you know. If I want something, I'll just steal it."

Luo Tian then led his crew into the auction house.

Outside the auction house, a bustling crowd of pirates gathered, their noise rising and falling.

When they saw Doflamingo enter the auction house, as if receiving some kind of signal, they all rushed to the entrance.

Before long, the once spacious auction house was packed with people and every seat was taken.

Meanwhile, Doflamingo sat calmly to one side, his gaze sweeping across the entire arena.

Seeing that the room was full, he nodded slightly, and the auction officially began.

Several officials stood solemnly around the long table where the auction items were displayed. Among them, the obese Torrepol, covered in slime, stepped forward and took on the role of auctioneer for this auction.

Meanwhile, Doflamingo sat leisurely in a chair to the side, seemingly nonchalant, but actually paying close attention to every move in the arena.

As each item was displayed, the atmosphere gradually heated up.

However, for Luo Tian, ​​the ordinary items in front of him clearly did not arouse his interest at all.

In contrast, Yamato and the others, who were new to auctions, were full of curiosity about everything happening before them, staring intently at the stage and observing every step with great interest.

Soon it was time for the grand finale. The moment the Golden Fruit was brought out, the entire venue erupted in cheers.

Although Trebol hasn't been introduced yet, most of the pirates who came to this auction were drawn by it.
