The Warrior of Love

The bid from a wealthy man woke Jiang Liu from his trance.

"Eleven million!"

"Eleven and a half million!"

"Twenty million!"

The bidding continued. Although most people had no idea what this thing was, it had to be said that some people just liked strange and eccentric things, especially those who were into collecting.

Not to mention that such a huge statue is rare, its shape and aesthetic design are also unique. Even if it is really just an indigenous statue, it has collection value, not to mention that this thing looks very old.

Under the astonished gazes of Luffy and Rayleigh, Jiang Liu frowned and called out the price twice, but when the price exceeded 50 million Baileys, he stopped bidding.

He doesn't have that much money.

It looks like he's going to get some ill-gotten gains.

"Sixty million Baileys!"

Another price was refreshed, but this time it was Lulu who shouted it out.

Jiang Liu lowered his head in surprise, only to see the little girl raise her head and smile at him.

"If Brother Jiang Liu likes it, Lulu will buy it for you."

"Um...thank you." Jiang Liu didn't act pretentiously, but just touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed, "I didn't expect that I would become a "gigolo" one day."

The cash that Lulu carried with her was no less than 10 million Baileys, and the gold and jewelry she possessed, plus the funds that Jiang Liu left in the bar, totaled about 130 million Baileys, which should be enough to buy this thing.

The result was as Jiang Liu expected. After breaking through 75 million, the price growth slowed down abruptly and finally stopped at the 80 million mark - this is already the price of many heirloom-level artworks, enough to make most wealthy people think twice.

If it's just for collection, it's not worth paying so much.

"Eighty-one million!" After Jiang Liu shouted out the price, he scanned the venue coldly and even used his Observation Haki to confirm that no one made any unnecessary moves. He finally felt relieved.

The host was overjoyed because this price exceeded the organizer's expectations and he could get a lot of commission from the excess.

"Eighty-one million for the third time, success—"

"Twenty million!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the conference hall, and there was an instant of dead silence, and even the host almost didn't react.

"Two, two hundred million?"

The host slowly moved his eyes and found that it was a big shot sitting in the highest-level VIP seat.

"Ro-Rozward Saint!!"

"It's a Celestial Dragon!"

"Since he is a Celestial Dragon, there is nothing we can do."

"The opponent is too strong..."

“There’s no way to compete.”

Even Jiang Liu felt a tightness in his heart and couldn't help but look at the person who made the bid.

Sitting in the most conspicuous middle position, three people and a dog occupied the most comfortable seats, keeping a distance from everyone nearby...it was others who took the initiative to stay away.

From these people’s unique attire: space suit-like clothing and bubble helmets, you can tell their identity - Celestial Dragons!

The world's nobles, descendants of God, will summon the navy or even the admirals to attack once attacked. They are an existence that cannot be made an enemy...

"call……"

Jiang Liu let out a long sigh, put his hand on the little girl's head, and stopped Lulu who seemed to want to say something, and showed a helpless smile.

After all, we can't fight the world's nobles just for a robot that we don't know whether it is useful or not. Even if it can be operated, it may not be stronger than the general. Moreover, if Jiang Liu gets into trouble, Xia Qi's bar and Rayleigh's existence will be exposed.

Even though Rayleigh might not be afraid, Jiang Liu didn't want to implicate them - he already owed them a lot of favors.

But there seemed to be one person who was unwilling to give up: "Jiang Liu, do you really want that thing? Although I don't know what it is, I can lend you the money."

"Luffy……"

Jiang Liu pursed his lips, then smiled seemingly indifferently: "It's okay, it's not something important."

But he had secretly made up his mind: it was time to leave Xia Qi's Bar!

After all, this opportunity is rare, and he does not intend to give up this robot. Robbing the Celestial Dragons is certainly difficult, but if he acts alone, there will not be too much burden. With his stealth skills, it is not impossible to enter the holy land.

The auction was still going on, and after getting excited, the host quickly began to introduce the second item.

"This is the ancestral property that a royal family of a certain kingdom sold after going bankrupt..."

Meanwhile, in the VIP seats, one of the Celestial Dragons was very dissatisfied.

"It's not fair, it's not fair! Father always says I spend money recklessly, but don't you also buy some weird things? You spend your money on useless stones like this. Why can't you buy me a giant slave? Father obviously has very powerful slaves to use--"

"Shut up!"

The stern voice frightened the snotty idiot into silence, and he dared not speak again.

Unlike his son who looks like an idiot and has an idiot IQ, his father Rozward is an old man who looks somewhat dignified, but he also exudes the unique smell of egocentrism of the Celestial Dragons.

"What do you know? You actually compare slaves with this ancient heritage!"

"Ancient heritage? What is that?"

"You don't need to understand."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, the younger sister beside them tried to persuade them.

"Brother, since father bought this thing, he must have his own intentions. Don't say anything more. At most, I can buy you a few beauties this time."

"Huh? Really?"

Upon hearing this, Charles immediately became happy.

"Xia Lulia is sensible. This time I want beauties from the desert. I heard that the women there have very good skin. I also want to replace all the ones I'm tired of playing with."

"Brother, really..."

Although Xia Lulia acted as if she couldn't stand it, she didn't object at all, and Rozward also looked like he was used to it.

Sure enough, even if they don’t look as idiotic as Charlos, they are still Celestial Dragons.

"Guess what the next product is - it's actually!"

The host lifted the red cloth covering the table, revealing a strange fruit placed on a tray.

"Devil Fruit!"

“Ohhhh!”

"really!"

"I heard there was one this time, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

The host nodded in satisfaction: "As you all know, even the most common devil fruit can be sold for 100 million berries, and this fruit has been identified by experts as the superhuman 'Insight Fruit'.

This is a fruit that has appeared in history. A great pirate once ate this fruit and received a high bounty of 140 million!

Ability prediction is an enhancement of vision and nerve reflex speed, and can even capture the trajectory of lightning. The starting price is 70 million Baileys, and each increase in price must not be less than 2 million!"

"Devil Fruit?" Luffy took a look and said, "They sell this kind of thing?"

"Well, as long as the price is right." Jiang Liu touched his chin, "The fruit of insight..."

Enhanced vision? He was a little tempted, but that alone was not enough to completely impress him.

If it is an all-round perception enhancement, it will allow him to make up his mind.

In the end, Jiang Liu did not make any bid, but was bought by the king of a small country for 130 million Baileys.

"Well, the auction is almost coming to an end, so let's take a look at the last item: the slave sale!"

Following the host's signal, the sounds of iron chains were heard one after another, and ragged people walked out from behind the scenes one by one.

Before the audience started to curse, another group of people walked out, this time it was ten girls with graceful figures.

Then, there were another twenty strong men, and finally a giant who was thirteen meters tall.

In total, there are no less than a hundred people!

Especially the giant, he is particularly eye-catching!

"A gift package for a hundred slaves! Not only are there hardworking people, but there are also gentle and beautiful maids, strong and loyal warriors, and even people who are like gods..." The host, who wanted to say gods in heaven, remembered that there were celestial dragons present, and immediately changed his words.

"There are also giants as tall as mountains, and the starting price for these one hundred slaves is only 100 million Baileys!"

"One hundred million?"

“It’s a bit much, but it really adds up to be worth it.”

"No, I don't know if those laborers are sick. If I buy them back, they might all die in two days."

"But there are indeed many beauties in there, and there are also giants."

"This is the first time I've seen a giant slave..."

"One hundred million! I want it!"

"One hundred and twenty million!"

"One hundred and twenty-five million!"

……

The sounds coming from the conference hall were mixed together, as chaotic as if separated by several layers of gauze, and the man was drowsy and unable to hear clearly.

While they were fighting for ownership of themselves and these slaves, the men themselves had no right to resist.

It's over. It's all over.

He was a failed man. He had never done anything remarkable since he was born. When he was a child, he boasted to his childhood sweetheart that he would find the most precious treasure in the world and give it to her, but he was unable to do so until that person died of illness.

Later, he even gave up his dream and just wanted to raise his daughter well, but even this failed.

There's no need to be angry even if he was sold as a slave. A waste like him is probably only worth this much.

But... I still feel unwilling to give in!

Still want to see...her face again.

Suddenly, the flashing lights irritated his eyes. The man instinctively turned his head and slowly opened his eyes, but he saw a figure that seemed like an illusion in the hazy white light.

It must be an illusion, it must be the light or the revolving lantern before death, he actually saw that person again.

"what……"

The man could hardly speak with a hoarse voice, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly.

"Ah..."

He took a step forward, even though his muscles were almost out of control, but he still shakily moved his legs forward.

“Ahhhh—Lulu!”

"What's the ghost's name?"

Suddenly, the man felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, his eyes went dark, and his body fell uncontrollably onto the stage.

"dad--"

Chapter 81: Mutation

"Dad! Daddy!"

"Lulu!"

Jiang Liu was about to reach out to grab her, but when he saw the girl's expression, his hand movements suddenly stopped, and Lulu ran out in just a moment.

"No way." Jiang Liu glanced at the situation at the venue and saw that the audience and the host were attracted by the changes on the stage. He didn't notice Lulu for a while and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, Lulu, who had just run halfway, suddenly felt that she had stepped on empty air. She screamed and was about to fall, but before she fell, she fell into a familiar embrace. It turned out that Jiang Liu had caught up with her at some point.

"Wow, this... when did you learn it?" Rayleigh was slightly surprised.

This was clearly the "Shave" from the Navy's Six Styles, and it was an extremely advanced state that even eliminated the sound when it was activated, becoming a silent assassination technique.

But even Rayleigh didn't know when Jiang Liu learned this trick?

In fact, although Lei Li is half of Jiang Liu's teacher, he is not as close to teaching Jiang Liu as Feng. He is not very clear about Jiang Liu's growth because he works for three days and rests for two days.
