Pirates: I can control the weather

Chapter 96 Slave Auction

Long Teng and Nami also followed these messy figures into the auction house.

This is a tall, round dome building made of dark red brick walls and black fences. There is a giant iron gate at the entrance with the words "HUMAN SHOPPING MALL" engraved on it.

Once inside, there is a spacious stepped seating area.

It can accommodate 800 people.

Looking forward is the obsidian stage. In the center of the stage is a lifting device that can be used to transfer the slaves below.

There is a different world downstairs, a prison where slaves are held, each with its own fence numbered outside.

After Long Teng and Nami sat down, they looked towards the stage. The first thing that caught their eyes was the words on the red curtain: We are not responsible for any products once sold.

"Today is our daily auction as usual!"

"Today's host is still our Mr. Disco!"

As the opening words were finished, the lights on the stage lit up like a revolving lantern, instantly shining on Dix who was coming on stage.

"We've prepared a lot of high-quality slaves for you today!"

Deeks stood in the audience, whetting everyone's appetite.

"What kind of slave are you going to buy this time?"

"The last time I bought a female slave, she died before she even lasted ten days. This time I plan to buy a tall female giant."

This conversation took place between two fat men.

It is not difficult to see from the conversation between the two that they are both regular visitors to this auction house.

"I heard there's a very rare little human race this time."

The young man and woman beside Long Teng were talking with their heads down, and their voices reached the ears of Long Teng and Nami.

"Captain, are they actually holding a human auction?"

Nami tilted her head and whispered in Long Teng's ear.

What Nami meant was that people dared to engage in human trafficking openly here.

"This place has long been left to its own devices by the World Government. This is the dark side of the world."

Long Teng replied while biting Nami's ear.

Nami may not have noticed that under the neon sign at the main entrance, there was a line of small words: This place is certified and licensed by the World Government.

"First, we're auctioning a chef from the East China Sea. He not only has the skills to cook delicious food, but he's also very healthy and can clean and guard your house."

Disco was wearing an exaggerated gold suit and his star-shaped glasses, and he kept introducing himself with inspiring words.

Following Disco's introduction, a middle-aged man with a collar and a chef's hat on his head was brought up from the bottom.

There was no expression on his face, he looked completely numb.

"Our auction prices are very cost-effective."

"Starting price: 20 Baileys!"

As Disco roared, the scene erupted in loud cheers.

"It's such a bargain! Only 20 Baileys! I want it!"

One of the well-maintained middle-aged women shouted.

"I'll give you 28 million Baileys!"

Another short and stocky man spoke up.

The scene was extremely lively and the price quickly reached 42 Baileys.

Nami looked around, as if all the people sitting in the audience were wild beasts, constantly devouring the chef on the stage.

Long Teng used his observation Haki to constantly sense the situation in the stands.

"Hmm?" In front of Long Teng's left, he saw two familiar faces.

It was Fox and Porky.

At this time, Fox was holding a notebook and writing something on it.

"Fox isn't here to study!"

A guess suddenly popped up in Long Teng's mind. "If that's the case, then I have to go back and give Fox some chicken legs."

What a worry-free employee!

Long Teng almost wanted to express his feelings from the perspective of the black-hearted capitalist.

The auction is still going on...

"This guy bids 45 Baileys!...Are there any other bids?" Disco shouted loudly, and as he pointed his finger, the lights on the stage instantly hit the head of the man who had just bid.

"If not!...Deal!"

With Disco's shout, the first lot was sold.

Then the staff nearby pushed the chef down. The process of the auction is that after the live auction, you go backstage to pay the money and pick up the person.

The man who had just offered 45 Baileys stood up and shouted excitedly, "It's mine!"

“What an exciting start! Next up is our second fresh lot!”

The spotlights above were flashing and the exciting sounds of disco echoed in the auction hall.

Then the three spotlights paused and shone directly on the center of the stage.

As the lifting device rose, a young woman wearing only the simplest clothes appeared in the center of the stage, now collapsed on the ground in fear.

The long red hair was scattered messily on the back...

Because the body is curled up, it forms an arc that makes people's heart beat faster.

"I want this!"

"Don't take this from me! It's mine!"

"Asshole, this one belongs to me!"

……

Even before the disco introductions began, the red-haired woman on the stage had already attracted countless attention. Staring at her impressive figure, excited shouts could be heard from the surroundings.

"That's it! Make it more intense!!"

Disco looked at the crazy actions in the stands and murmured to himself with great satisfaction.

Disco gestured to the staff beside him, and then two staff members walked over, lifted up the red-haired woman on the stage, and turned her beautiful face towards the stands.

“Wow… so beautiful!”

“I have to take a picture of this!”

...with a proud figure and a face as frightened as a deer, and exaggerated howling sounds were heard again all around.

"Captain!!" Nami clenched her fists and shouted at Long Teng in a trembling voice.

It was obvious that Nami was very angry about this auction behavior.

"Nami, leave it to me later, I will rescue all these people!" Long Teng had already made a comprehensive confirmation of the entire stand at this time.

So he spoke to comfort Nami.

"Yeah!" Nami finally felt better. She sat quietly watching the beasts around her hunting in a bloody manner.

"Okay, it looks like everyone's interested, so go ahead and bid! ... Starting price - 50 Baileys!"

Disco stood on the stage and shouted excitedly.

"60 Baileys!!"

"I'll give you 80 Baileys!!"

……

The noises from the stands continued in waves, and soon the price reached 120 million. Only three people were left on the field competing.

One of them was the fat man who had previously said that he wanted to auction a female giant.

There were two people left, one was a very thin young man, and the other was a middle-aged woman dressed very gorgeously.

The three of them went through two more rounds of bidding.

"This lady offered 150 million Baileys. Is there a higher bid?"

Disco shouted from the stage, the lights now shining on the head of the gorgeous middle-aged woman.

There was no answer from the audience for a moment.

"Okay. Deal!! She's yours!"

Disco pointed his finger and shouted.

"Damn it, it's too expensive! Otherwise I wouldn't give it to you!" Upon hearing this, the very thin young man muttered to himself angrily.

……

Chapter 97 Rayleigh, why are you here too?

that's it……

Another musician from Beihai was auctioned off.

The musician had long, slightly curly hair and was wearing a tuxedo. He looked very elegant. Even though he was locked in a collar, he was not panicked and looked at everyone calmly.

But the more this happened, the more it aroused the rich businessman's desire to conquer.

Finally, the musician was photographed by a well-dressed lady.

The lady wore a tight corset that highlighted her figure, and a huge velvet-trimmed hat on her head. The only contrast was that the lady was fat, and even with makeup on her face, she looked very old.

The auction price also reached 68 Baileys!

"Next up is today's third item!" Disco slid down to his knees and rushed to the front of the stands, then raised his head and shouted into the microphone, "He's a coating master from Mangrove Area No. 13. He's been in the industry for decades and has extensive experience."
