I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

For example, aiding sleep, kicking down a widow's door at night, and righteous betrayal...

"I really feel bad."

Umit paused slightly, then nodded with a serious expression:

"I had intended to present this Silence Fruit to Mr. Sig as a gift, but this fruit is not very powerful, so it's really not presentable."

"Therefore, I intend to auction this Silent Fruit along with Mr. Sig's treasure map."

"Although the Silence-Silence Fruit isn't exactly high-class, it's still a Devil Fruit, and it can still be used to create some buzz."

Sig: ......

Seeing that Sieg's expression seemed to darken slightly, Umit also paused for a moment, then continued:

“Mr. Sieg, I have also prepared various other treasures from all over the world…”

After he finished speaking, his subordinates understood and each of them opened a box of a different size.

Various antiques, jewelry, and famous knives lay quietly, radiating brilliance and sparkling as if they were shining.

“These things...”

Sieg was just beginning to feel a sense of anticipation, but at the same time, he had a bad feeling.

“That’s right, these will also be auctioned off, helping Mr. Sieg create a grand auction.”

"Of course, these can't compare to Mr. Sig's treasure map; they can only serve as a backdrop."

Umit nodded emphatically, looking at Sieg with a serious expression.

Sig opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

In the end, it was Stussy who reacted first, chuckling softly:

"Umit, your sense of smell is quite sharp this time."

"Knowing that Mr. Sig was planning to stir up trouble with the treasure map, I rushed over immediately, bringing so much stuff with me..."

The two were quite familiar with each other, and they started chatting away.

After a long while, Umit finally got up to say goodbye.

Only Sig was left sitting on the sofa, still a little dazed.

The fruit of silence came, and then it left.

Not only that, Sieg is not really in a position to refuse Umit's kindness.

After all, he was one of the major forces behind the auction house, and Sieg really couldn't stop things from being sold in the auction house he had a stake in.

"Can't I just earn a hundred million from him peacefully?"

Sieg sighed softly.

Chapter 171 Treasure Map Auction

The three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past few days, there have been more ships coming and going to Wanwu Island than usual.

After all, what's being auctioned this time isn't just Sieg's treasure map, but also various treasures prepared by the shipping magnate Umit.

The Island of All Things is a place that gathers all kinds of strange things from all over the world and is a commercial hub of the Grand Line. The news of the treasures that Umit prepared quickly spread, attracting another wave of people.

Auction House No. 1.

The auction is about to begin, and guests dressed in various styles have already poured in.

Among the crowd, the Celestial Dragon Charmaco Saint, wearing a square bubble head covering, stood out conspicuously.

His face was a bit dark, and he walked with his head held high, clearly in a bad mood. Wherever he went, the crowds retreated, making him seem like an isolated island in a sea of ​​people.

Even on this island where the rules are set by the kings of the underworld, no one dares to disrespect the Celestial Dragons.

"Welcome, Saint Charmaco!"

A portly middle-aged man came running over and knelt down in front of Saint Charles from a distance.

"Could we exempt the other participants from the kneeling ceremony at the auction?"

The middle-aged man looked up, sweat beading on his forehead.

"Humph."

Charmark Saint snorted coldly, but nodded.

"That's how it should be, otherwise the auction couldn't go on."

However, when his figure disappeared into the auction house, it sparked a discussion among the crowd in the distance.

"Saint Charmac, a Celestial Dragon? I heard that's the Celestial Dragon who was attacked by Sigurd in the East Blue back then, right?"

"Is this Celestial Dragon here to bid for Sig's treasure map? This is very interesting."

"Wait a minute, there was a news report a while ago that said Sig also came to this Island of Everything. Could they have run into each other?"

When someone mentioned this conjecture, it immediately caused many people to hesitate.

If the Celestial Dragons, and the criminals who attacked them, were to meet here, it would probably not be a good thing.

This is quite a spectacle, it's not good to just stand around and watch...

................

Meanwhile, in the auction house, the shipping magnate Umit also looked rather grim.

He had just learned that the Celestial Dragon Charmaco Saint had arrived.

He took the initiative to contact Sieg and offered a large number of rare items for auction, not only to test the waters but also to show his goodwill towards Sieg.

But at this moment, he felt a pang of regret.

"I should have known... What Sieg is going to do is not so simple."

Umit's face was grim, and his expression grew increasingly solemn.

He initially thought that Sieg was just stirring up trouble, just like when he shouted "anotherpiece" on the execution platform in Loguetown.

But if even the Celestial Dragon Charl Marco Saint is involved, the nature of the matter changes.

Does anotherpiece exist? This is still somewhat controversial.

After all, the World Government has set a bounty of 400 million for the treasure.

This number is actually quite high.

But let alone the Celestial Dragons' national treasures, the value of the treasures stolen from the Celestial Dragons' family treasuries should have far exceeded this number.

"Does Saint Charles value this treasure map even more than expected?"

"Or is this a trap set for the Celestial Dragons?"

No doubt about it! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that this Celestial Dragon, whom Higuma had beaten, would appear here?

"Was the recent cessation of publication of the Baidu Tieba newsletter also a deliberate act?"

"He's waiting for the right moment, waiting for Saint Charmaco to approach this Island of All Things, before announcing the auction!"

Umit felt a chill run down his spine upon closer examination.

But at this point, it was impossible to stop.

The auction has officially begun.

The Celestial Dragon Charlmaco Saint, along with Umit and others who were observing the scene, were all in a separate compartment in the VIP section.

These cubicles are not completely enclosed; they are simply separated from the regular seating area by partitions.

After a brief opening statement, the auctioneer officially began the auction.

"The first item for auction is now open for bidding..."

Beside the auctioneer, a slender woman walked onto the stage carrying a plate, on which was a rather oddly shaped arm sleeve.

"This is a hidden weapon from the Western Sea, a hidden blade."

The man in charge of the demonstration put the device on his wrist. He then stretched out his hand, and a gleaming short blade immediately emerged from his sleeve and was held in his hand.

After a few gentle swings and the demonstration, the man released his hand, and with two soft clicks, the short blade was retracted.

"As you can see, this is a particularly stealthy weapon; the short blade can be extended and retracted very quickly."

"When not in use, it's just a regular sleeve that can be tucked into your sleeve unnoticed..."

"Starting bid: 500,000 Berries, with each bid increment no less than 10,000 Berries."

Among the VIPs, Sieg was also somewhat surprised.

Here, he actually saw a rudimentary version of a hidden blade.

"Did Umit bring this?"

Sieg vaguely remembered that when he met Umit before, one of the treasures that Umit had shown him seemed to be a sleeve like this.

The practicality of this rudimentary version of the hidden blade is questionable.

The short sword protruding from the palm doesn't look very convenient to hold; if you're not skilled enough, you might even cut yourself.

In practical use, it's probably better to carry a dagger with you.

The other guests at the auction also seemed to have doubts about the hidden blade, and remained silent.

But for Sieg, who doesn't actually need to use a sword to kill people, it's still very appealing.

Back then, when Crocodile suddenly attacked, Sig didn't even have time to react before he could pull out his folding knife, and could only use up one of his Iruma Cards.

But this hidden blade is even faster than a folding knife.

"We'll have to see if the craftsman who forged this hidden blade is one of Umit's people..."

While pondering the situation, Sieg raised his paddle and began bidding.

"510,000 Berries!"

His deep voice echoed through the VIP section, causing the auctioneer on stage to twitch at the corner of his eye.
