Norton smirked: "Perfect, let's go together! I'll escort you to Mignon for free."
Mediterranean's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly, saying, "That's wonderful! We'll make sure you have three meals a day!"
He's a businessman; free things are always good!
Norton nodded and said nothing more, instead focusing intently on recording the North Sea nautical chart.
The box he was sitting in contained one million Berries, which was his fee for the sale.
……
Two days later, at the port of Mignon Island.
"Remember to get rid of the ship as soon as possible. No matter how much you get, I'll give you a 10% cut."
Norton uttered these words before disembarking.
Mediterranean nodded quickly.
Along the way, they encountered another pirate crew, so at this point, two more ships were following behind their merchant ship.
This made the Mediterranean extremely happy!
Not only do they provide free escorts, but they also get a 10% cut of the profits – they're making a killing!
He hadn't planned to sell him and run away, because he had a feeling that even if he did, the young man would find him...
Arriving in the town of Minion Island, Norton looked at the bustling streets and thought to himself, "Minion Island... what a place! I remember it's famous for producing Doflamingo's Devil Fruits, but I wonder if that's accurate!"
With this in mind, Norton went to the tavern.
No matter the world, taverns have always been the best place to gather information.
When will the underground auction start?
"It's tonight! Why are you only arriving now?!"
"I'm out raising money, aren't I? I heard there are Devil Fruits for sale this time!"
"Yeah! We just can't afford it..."
Before long, Norton heard the answer he wanted and also noticed a few people.
Chapter 40 True Love, System!
Two of them were wearing black cloaks, their faces obscured by their hoods, but they were sitting at different tables, suggesting they were not from the same group.
There was another child following beside one of them; he appeared to be younger, shorter, and quite thin.
Most importantly... Norton recognized him!
He was Trafalgar Law as a child; his appearance and hat were quite distinctive!
When Rosinante was thirteen, he was pulled back from the abyss of hatred by Rosinante and later followed him to Mignon.
Rosinante has obtained information about the Op-Op Fruit and intends to steal it!
Meanwhile, there's someone else eyeing this auction!
The plan was exposed, and the attempt to seize Rosinante might fail. It was precisely because of him that the operation fruit was successfully obtained and given to Rosinante.
Tesoro also let Doflamingo escape because Doflamingo wanted to deal with Rosinante's matter personally.
"It seems the guy next to him is Rosinante! So, the other guy is undoubtedly Gilles Tezzolo!"
Norton stroked his chin and guessed who the two people were.
Once the auction begins, Tesoro will lead his men into the auction house and steal the Gold-Gold Fruit.
This also gave Rosinandi an opportunity to make a move!
However!
"Now that I'm here, I'll gladly accept the Gold-Gold Fruit! As for the Op-Op Fruit... to be honest, I'm a fan of Law, so I'll give it to him!"
Having made up his mind, Norton ignored them.
The auction started in the evening, but before evening, Norton went to the port to collect a sum of money.
Mediterranean acted quickly, selling the two ships for 300,000 Berries. He kept his share and happily saw Norton off.
The reason the two ships sold so quickly was actually because of Tezzo.
He brought a lot of people with him, so he had a good escape route planned.
He found someone selling boats and happily bought them all.
In this way, once they succeed, they can quickly split up and escape from here.
……
Night gradually fell.
Norton had already found out the location of the auction and followed the crowd there.
As for where he got the auction invitation?
A guy who had been stripped naked and thrown into a dark corner was shedding tears and silently protesting the cruelty of reality.
"You said you... wanted an invitation, so just say so... I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you... Why did you come up here and start hitting me and tearing my clothes off? Are people these days all so unscrupulous..."
……
Inside the auction house.
Norton then spotted a few more acquaintances.
Rosinante and Law were hiding in the corner on the right, while Doflamingo's men were on the left, looking around, probably searching for Rosinante and his group.
Because at this point, Rosinante's identity had been exposed, and Doflamingo was eager to kill his own brother.
Someone like Doflamingo, who would kill even his own father for his own selfish gain, would be even more ruthless when it comes to killing his own brothers!
[Ding! An advertisement has been updated. Please check it within ten minutes.]
"Check! A new map has been installed, and sure enough, the ads have been refreshed!"
Suddenly hearing a system notification that the auction had not yet started, Norton immediately chose to check.
[Ding! This is a world where the continent has shattered. Over time, various races have emerged, primarily living on islands...]
The one-minute ad was over quickly, and Norton scratched his head, mentally complaining.
"System, isn't this just like the world of Uncharted Waters?"
[Ding! This is different! There's no Luffy in that world! And all kinds of races flourish, it's very lively! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a random reward chest. Would you like to open it?]
"open!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a small beach amusement park template, which can be used in conjunction with the management ring.]
"Holy crap? This system is amazing! You've given me exactly what I needed! I love you to death!"
Upon seeing this reward, Norton was so excited he almost jumped for joy.
With this wonderful thing, Norton began to put the Kingdom of Oycott on the right track.
Norton eagerly took out the template and placed it on his management ring. The management interface opened automatically, prompting: "Read the small beach casino template?"
Norton decisively chose yes over no.
"Shh-"
With a flash of light, the card-shaped template in Norton's hand disappeared.
Note: "Small beach amusement park template successfully loaded. Administrators can choose a location to use the template. As long as there are enough materials, it can be built within ten minutes."
Norton didn't rush to use it; instead, he first opened the preview image to take a look.
This mini casino template, though called mini, doesn't look small at all.
The basic data of the amusement park in the upper left corner shows that the amusement park covers an area of 500 meters long and 200 meters wide, totaling 100000 square meters.
"100,000 square meters, that's quite a lot!" Norton exclaimed, then looked at the facilities again.
Ferris wheel x1, drop tower x1, roller coaster x1, carousel x1, golden beach x1, mini pier x1, electric speedboat x4, bar x1, shops and hotel x1.
"Awesome! That's fucking awesome! It makes me want to go play it! But..."
After excitedly reading all of this, Norton instantly calmed down.
Below the infrastructure, there is a label that says "Electricity required" and lists the materials needed.
Norton, who had lived in the Kingdom of Oicot for several months, had something to complain about regarding the electricity situation there.
The Kingdom of Oicot can be said to have no basic electricity supply at all.
At night, most households used oil lamps and candles.
This situation isn't limited to the Kingdom of Oicot; in the entire world of One Piece, electricity doesn't seem to be very common.
Of course, aside from some bug-like exceptions, there's simply no way to explain the existence of electricity in the world of One Piece.
It's as if the world is conquering itself, desperately suppressing technological progress.
Looking at the required materials.
The Kingdom of Oycot has both stone and timber. Iron and copper, however, are in short supply.
"This is really awkward... They gave me such an awesome thing, but there's no power supply... And we don't have enough materials either. Looks like we'll have to buy some metal and rubber." Norton rolled his eyes in frustration and closed the management interface.
Let's not think about this for now, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight.
After another five minutes, the auction finally began.
The person in charge of the auction was a woman with a voluptuous figure.
If you look closely, this woman is the one who was shamelessly intimate with Dion Barretz in his office.
The items auctioned earlier were mostly treasures, swords, and the like; there weren't any truly interesting things.
Those participating in the auction raised their paddles in twos and threes with expressionless faces, all to give Doflamingo face.
Chapter 41 is useless to me!
