The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 193 Human Room

"Oh, I don't know. What kind of information do you want to ask, young man?"

Xia Qi leaned back on the sofa with her legs crossed, a cigarette between her fingers, and asked casually.

"I want to know if there's any information about Devil Fruits in the Sabaody Archipelago!"

Charlotte's words were concise and to the point; such an intelligence expert shouldn't be wasted!

Relying solely on luck and searching on your own is too risky and a huge waste of time.

If you could buy information about Devil Fruits, that would be a sure-fire way to make money.

After all, the treasures of the ocean are few and far between, and this journey needs to yield even more rewards.

"Ara ara! Let me think." Shakky gently flicked the ash from the cigarette in her hand.

A moment later, he got up and walked towards the bar, seemingly searching for something.

Before long, a piece of intelligence appeared in her hand. Xia Qi smiled and teased, "Not bad! There really is one."

Charlotte was pleasantly surprised; this was quite unexpected. "It's that Devil Fruit?"

In response to Charlotte's question, Shakky, with a cigarette between her fingers, rested her hand on the bar counter, pressed against her cheek, and said, "Thirty million Berries a serving!"

"No problem, money is not a problem."

Charlotte was quite generous and didn't care at all.

Seeing this, Xia Qi smiled and said, "The Logia-type Snow-Snow Fruit is in the underground trading area of ​​Zone 5."

"Is it a lawless zone?"

Charlotte nodded. This area, like the rest of the region, was a lawless zone, which made things much more convenient.

Having obtained the information, Charlotte readily paid the money.

"Any more? I'll buy as many as you have! Money is no object."

Charlotte's voice was strong and clear, which startled Xia Qi, who narrowed her eyes slightly.

In fact, there isn't much detailed information about the Heberfeller family.

Most of it was just ordinary news circulating wildly on the high seas, but the power of this force cannot be denied.

Even though it was just one island, Lati, its scale of development and prosperity was rare in the New World, which is enough to demonstrate its methods.

The wealth and power of the Heberfeller family are evident, especially from their boastful tone just now.

It seems the Heberfeller family is far more powerful than imagined.

"Is that all?"

Charlotte looked at Xia Qi with some disappointment, who hadn't answered yet.

Xia Qi quickly shook her head; that kind of thing isn't like fruit that you can just find anywhere by the roadside.

Of course, this kind of thing is quite normal.

The vast majority of Devil Fruits are eaten immediately upon discovery; saving them for auction or trading is a rare practice.

Moreover, since Devil Fruits appear randomly in various parts of the world, having such information is already quite good.

I've left Xiaqi & Qiaozhugao Bar!

Charlotte and her companion headed straight for Underground Trading Market No. 5.

……

……

Amusement park!

Bubble roller coaster, bubble pendulum ride, bubble drop tower, bubble Ferris wheel...

Beta and the others had a great time, and were especially attracted by the delicious ice cream.

"Brubrubru, brubrubru!"

A series of Den Den Mushi (snail phone) rings, and Barrett answers it with a "click."

"What happened?"

"Brother Barrett, something terrible has happened! Mr. Dan has gone missing!"

The younger brother reporting from the other end of the Den Den Mushi sounded extremely urgent.

Barrett was startled by this. "What on earth happened?"

"Mr. Dan said he was going to visit a friend, and then when we arrived at Zone 5, a strange commotion broke out, and afterwards Mr. Dan disappeared..."

Barrett's expression changed; something terrible had happened, and a bad thought flashed through his mind.

The group hurriedly returned to the Hibernian Dragon.

"Apart from the necessary defenses, everyone else should be dispatched immediately to gather intelligence."

Barrett calmly gave the order to proceed.

"yes!"

The members of the Heberfeller family grabbed their weapons and quickly began their operation.

"Mitis, Gillian, stay on the ship."

"Jin, Beta, you two hurry up and do a full-scale search of the Sabaody Archipelago."

Everyone nodded in agreement. At this critical moment, things couldn't be chaotic inside, and there were no objections to Barrett's arrangements.

As for Charlotte, she didn't bring a Den Den Mushi with her when she went out, so we haven't been able to contact her yet.

Charlotte was completely satisfied at that moment, having just successfully purchased the Paramecia-type Snow-Snow Fruit.

"That's really good! There were absolutely no surprises, which is quite unexpected."

Charlotte said with a smile.

"Charlotte, there aren't that many unexpected things!" Lina said softly, sounding a little mischievous.

"Oh, by the way, Charlotte also mentioned that there's still an auction at the Human House in Area 1 today?"

Lina looked at Charlotte with some curiosity.

What is the Human House? She really didn't know and was a little curious; perhaps it was an auction of rare and precious treasures.

Charlotte shook her head, her voice heavy, "That place has a nice-sounding name, but it's actually a slave auction!"

Slave auction!

Lina looked incredulous. When she was captured and enslaved and was to be sold, she only knew that the life of a slave was a dark and miserable existence, but she had no idea that there was such a thing as auctions.

And it's unbelievable that there are even islands with naval presence here.

At this moment, Lina felt even more disgusted with the so-called "human house".

"Then let's not go!"

Lina was deeply troubled. Her already miserable life as a slave was now being auctioned off like an object—it was truly tragic.

Fortunately, she met Charlotte; otherwise, it's unimaginable what would have happened.

Suddenly, several of the Heberfeller family's underlings ran over and started shouting.

"Boss! Something terrible has happened, boss!"

Charlotte had a bad feeling. "What's wrong? Tell me slowly."

The younger brother, catching his breath, quickly spoke up, "Dan, Mr. Dan has gone missing, and everyone is looking for him!"

Charlotte didn't get angry; solving the problem was the most important thing.

He knew very well that the Sabaody Archipelago was not friendly to fish-men or mermaids at all, and that there was serious discrimination against them.

Therefore, it is rare to see fish-men or mermaids living in the deep sea here, as they are very likely to have been kidnapped by human traffickers.

In an instant, Charlotte's Observation Haki spread rapidly. He remembered Dan's aura and knew that as long as Dan was on the island, no matter how big the island was, he could find him.

In a split second, Charlotte pinpointed the location; it wasn't far from here.

"Walk!"

Charlotte strode towards Area 1.

A moment later!

A massive building came into view, surrounded by stone pillars, topped with a triangular wooden structure that looked somewhat old.

The wooden plaque bears the capital letters "HUMAN".

This is it!

Area 1, slave auction site.

Ascending the steps, I entered the auction hall, where nobles from various countries sat below.

Meanwhile, the auctioneer at the booth, holding a microphone, pointed to a green-haired girl with chains next to her and gave a lively explanation.

"This slave is proficient in everything from washing clothes and cooking to singing and dancing..."

The crowd below was making a lot of noise, seemingly very interested in the girl, and each of them looked eager to try their luck.

Wishing everyone good health, peace, joy, and all the best.

I hope everyone will support me. Thank you all.
