An ordinary auction would naturally not attract the attention of the Celestial Dragons, but this was an auction specifically for auctioning slaves, secretly controlled by Doflamingo.

There are other luxury auctions in the Sabaody Archipelago, but the Celestial Dragons don't care at all. They are wearing the most expensive luxury items in the world, so why would they deign to attend those country bumpkin accessories?

Only special slaves could attract their attention.

Because in the Holy Land, there is a way for the Celestial Dragons to play Pokémon, which involves using their slaves to compete. These slaves include craftsmen, doctors, dancers, Devil Fruit users, and people from exotic and rare races such as dwarfs, mink, long-armed, and snake-headed creatures.

The rarest are mermaid girls, with a starting bid of tens of millions of Berries, and the younger they are, the higher the price.

Brando infiltrated the area using the identity of a nobleman, and also set up a sales stunt, having his shadow clone pose as a Devil Fruit user, wearing seastone handcuffs and being sent over in a cage.

The Devil Fruit user is defined as having the Magnet-Magnet Fruit ability, which allows them to manipulate metal.

In front of the auction house, Brando personally demonstrated the process, stating that he held the life and death of the Devil Fruit user's family in his hands, which was why he could make the Devil Fruit user obediently help his family mine.

The reason for the sale was that the family had encountered a change of fortune and needed a lot of money to bribe the Celestial Dragons, so they auctioned off this slave. This statement pleased the auction house, and since the Celestial Dragons were coming, they took it upon themselves to specially add this item to the auction, with a starting price of 100 million Berries.

Such Devil Fruit users who can work and mine are very rare. One hundred million Berries is definitely not expensive, and it was designated as the last item to be auctioned.

Besides the shadow clones that were auctioned off, two more shadow clones infiltrated the auction house, killed the guards, read their memories, and transformed into their likenesses to sneak in.

Another shadow clone infiltrated the group posing as a seller.

The main body dug a hole beneath the soil of the auction house, gathering the metal scraps refined by the shadow clones arranged by the Heavenly Arrangement here, while using Inorganic Reincarnation to influence the surrounding environment in preparation for battle.

Observation Haki is only triggered when danger is sensed. Brando did not launch an attack, so no one noticed it. If this were in the ninja world, such a fluctuation would have been detected by sensory ninjas long ago.

Soon, the guests attending the auction entered the venue.

Those who came in were either richly dressed, seemingly wealthy nobles, or some menacing-looking fellows who were all bad news.

These kinds of auctions are inaccessible even to minor nobles from some countries.

However, these people were all sitting in the back, and the first three rows on the two sides were empty. Everyone who came to the auction knew tacitly that these were the seats reserved for the Celestial Dragons.

Suddenly, a well-trained group of people dressed in black suits jogged in and immediately dispersed throughout the auction, occupying corners of the auction hall. Meanwhile, someone else laid out a new red carpet on the ground and scattered flower petals on it.

After all this was done, two Celestial Dragons with transparent fish tanks on their heads walked in.

"Hmph, do you have enough money? Do you need me to lend you some?"

"Don't be like last time, stubbornly refusing to pay."

Shepard Bezoslin Saint scoffed at Thatcherz Slimt Saint, who was slightly shorter than him, standing next to him.

"Who doesn't have the money to pay?"

"At that time, the money hadn't arrived yet, how could I owe money?"

Slimt immediately retorted loudly.

He came to this auction specifically because this annoying guy in front of him had driven up the price last time, causing him to run out of money and making him look foolish and a laughingstock.

So this time he came for revenge, using the same methods as the other party, and he brought enough money, having saved up for this moment.

"I hope you bring enough money this time!"

Bezoslin sneered.

He was naturally aware of what the other party was doing. After all, their efforts to save money were so obvious that the other Celestial Dragons had noticed. Therefore, he had already borrowed money from other Celestial Dragons before coming here.

The same thing will happen again, and Slimt Saint will once again become a clown, making fun of the Celestial Dragons.

Each of the two Celestial Dragons was accompanied by a CP0 member. They didn't bring two members because the location was close to Marine Headquarters, so each of them was also protected by a Marine Vice Admiral. However, both Vice Admirals were currently outside the auction house, guarding the entrances and exits with Marines.

However, no one pays attention to what's underground.

Soon, the two Celestial Dragons sat down on either side of the first row.

The auctioneer on stage immediately announced the start of the auction.

The first item in the collection is a rare antique with a starting bid of five million Berries.

The two Celestial Dragons had absolutely no interest in it; such trash didn't even deserve to be in their homes.

However, some people dressed in aristocratic attire valued it highly and raised their hands to bid.

Next came some gems, rare animals, and some slaves.

Only when slaves are involved will the two Celestial Dragons make a bid, and as soon as one of them makes a bid, the other will immediately raise the price.

The auctioneer on stage was beaming with joy; the higher the selling price, the bigger his bonus.

However, these slaves were quite cheap, and the price wouldn't go up much. So Saint Slimt didn't hold a grudge, because he knew that Saint Bezoslin had his eye on a mermaid among the auction items, which was the one he wanted to raise the price for.

Even if he spent more money to buy it himself, he still managed to take away what Bezos Lin Sheng wanted, so it wasn't a loss.

Brando, on the other hand, paid no attention to these things. Instead, he carefully checked to make sure that no traps had been set up around him, especially that three naval admirals might come to ambush him.

However, as he continued to use his Observation Haki underground, he discovered that there were indeed no powerful opponents. With the added sensory abilities of the Uzumaki clan, Brando's Observation Haki allowed him to sense the strength of the opponent's aura, which can be considered a new direction for developing Observation Haki.

After all, almost no one in this world can conceal their aura. Under normal circumstances, it is easy to distinguish between strong and weak auras. Just compare them with Rayleigh and Kuzan's auras. Those who are close to them are considered dangerous.

"Since no dangerous guys have appeared, I can start setting up the stage."

Brando, underground, was already itching to take action against the Celestial Dragons, who were at the top of the list of must-eats in One Piece.

Brando could already picture the two Celestial Dragons kneeling before him, weeping and begging for their mercy, their arrogant demeanor already etched on his mind.

Meanwhile, preparations for the live broadcast on the large screen in Chambord have also been completed.

To broadcast the event globally would require access to the World Government's Den Den Mushi, which is very difficult. However, broadcasting it only in Sabaody Archipelago would be much simpler. Brando had already taken control of the person in charge of the large-screen broadcast, using his Sharingan to alter his memories and take away the Den Den Mushi responsible for the broadcast.

We will also help him with his live stream so that no one will interfere.

Now all that's missing is the main character's appearance!

Chapter 53: Two Celestial Dragons Easily Acquired

About an hour later, the mermaids that the two Celestial Dragons had been waiting for finally appeared.

The mermaid was indeed very beautiful, but Brando had no intention of saving her; if he did, he would simply snatch her away and play with her himself.

"The starting bid for this beautiful young mermaid is fifty million Berries!"

As the auctioneer's announcement ended.

"One hundred million peso."

Bezos immediately doubled the price.

"Two hundred million peles."

Saint Slimt remained expressionless, and after bidding, he looked at Saint Bezoslin, wanting to see the other party's unpleasant expression.

Unfortunately, we didn't see that; Bezos Lin Sheng simply kept raising the price.

Brando's shadow clone yawned as he watched from the last row. He never expected that such a boring, third-rate novel plot would actually play out in front of him.

The main body and the shadow clone are responsible for confirming the signal to take action.

The main body needs to confirm the safety of the outside, while he needs to confirm the timing of action inside.

The initial safety plan was to have the shadow clone, who was being treated as a slave, photographed by the Celestial Dragons, get close to them, and directly control them.

However, the security forces surrounding these two Celestial Dragons are currently too weak.

Unlike when he first faced the Celestial Dragons, Brando now has the strength to completely overwhelm these CP0 members, unless it's someone like Rob Lucci, who might be a bit more difficult.

If CP0 is as strong as last time, Brando's feet are itching for a fight.

Suddenly, the metal rings carried by the four shadow clones on the field began to vibrate. This was a signal transmission from the main body, confirming that there were no dangerous targets outside.

"Let's begin!"

Brando's shadow clone, who was sitting at the very back, stood up abruptly.

This action immediately attracted the attention of the intelligence organization members dressed in black suits around him, and those who were close immediately raised their guns and pointed them at Brando.

After all, it concerns the safety of the Celestial Dragons, and it's happening in such a dangerous place; no accident can be allowed to occur.

The two CP0 members also realized that something was wrong around them, but only Brando was causing trouble. However, they felt that there were problems all around them, and for a moment they dared not leave the Celestial Dragons' side.

"Hey, don't point this kind of fire poker at people, it's very impolite."

As Brando finished speaking.

Tiny iron filings appeared on the ground at some unknown time, coalesced into a senbon needle, pierced the head of the member holding the gun, and exploded inside his brain, destroying it.

The same thing happened to the other members of the intelligence organization on the field. The other two shadow clones used Magnet Release to condense iron sand into a thousand sticks for a fatal blow.

Brando hadn't forgotten that headshots deal high damage, and he didn't want to waste too much time on these grunts.

So these intelligence organization members in black suits fell to the ground one after another like dominoes. Because the senbon was so small, the wounds didn't bleed much, and these people seemed to have suddenly fallen asleep.

"what!!"

Inside the auction hall, some of the nobles' female companions screamed.

At the same time, many nobles also showed signs of panic, after all, they had not expected such a thing to happen.

"What are you doing!"

"This auction house is owned by Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Aren't you afraid of retaliation?"

The auctioneer on stage immediately spoke up and shouted.
