I, a Celestial Dragon!

However, compared with the past, the number of slaves sold each month has been reduced several times.

There were only a few slaves on the stage, and the number was not impressive, but the quality was improved.

After Khalifa took over the slave market, she did not, as Gawain had originally planned, introduce various new regulations to reduce the number of slave trade items at the source.

After personally entering the slave industry, Khalifa gradually realized that it would be difficult to achieve the result that Lord Gawain wanted to achieve, which was to reduce the number of slaves, through strict regulations.

It’s just like banning smoking and drinking. The stricter the ban, the more people will engage in it.

The more some things are forbidden, the more people pursue them.

So, Khalifa finally chose to take Iceberg's route. After all, she used to be Iceberg's secretary, and she knew Iceberg's way of thinking very well.

Further promote the high-quality development of the slave industry, over-hype the prices of high-end slaves, and use the market funds occupied by high-end slaves to squeeze the market share of low-end slaves.

In other words, the current hard-working market prefers to pick up and sell high-quality goods that have lost their vitality and belong to oneself or one's family.

If there is no special race, talent, physique, or appearance.

Slave buyers would rather drive low-quality slaves to local docks as laborers than send them to auction.

After all, after Dover's industries were merged into Gawain's plate, the slave market and economic and trade ports around the world were almost connected together.

For the slave industry of today, their own brother industries are still short of workers.

Anyway...

Looking at the auction items, each of which was either beautiful or handsome, Gao Wen frowned in silence.

This is not a good idea. The slave market is becoming more and more refined, which is too harsh on those who are particularly good-looking and come from poor families.

But there is no other way. When it is temporarily impossible to ban all slave trade, making this industry a high-quality product is undoubtedly giving up saving some people and saving people who are far beyond this group...

When many things are elevated to a certain level, the choices faced are no longer just good or bad.

At the moment, Gao Wen can only choose to be a little bad, or worse!

That's it!

At the side, seeing Gao Wen's expression becoming more and more profound, the legs of the auctioneer began to tremble.

After these three months, who among those who are still working at the auction house doesn't know that Gao Wen is their real boss?

Didn’t you see that even the famous Joker can only sit in the second row?

After observing Gao Wen's expression, the auctioneer carefully approached Gao Wen.

"Dear Celestial Dragons, is it that our products do not satisfy you?

We are sorry that there are not many fine items on the market recently. It is all our auction house's fault.

Please wait a moment, everyone. Although the overall quality of the goods is not very high, the finale of tonight's product is excellent.

She is the most beautiful dancer in Xihai, with a top-notch figure and spirited white hair, as well as a graceful dance and an extremely flexible figure. She is a top-notch product!!!

Please wait for a moment, the item will be on the market soon!"

After he finished speaking, the auctioneer wiped the sweat off his face with a wry smile, then carefully retreated.

After he left, Charlos blew his nose unhappily.

“Humph, auctions are getting worse and worse nowadays, there aren’t even any pirates worth more than 500 million.

If you want to buy a mount, you should go to Marijoa. The mounts from Impel Down are so good. The auction house is getting less and less interesting!"

After he finished speaking, Charlos wanted to leave out of boredom. Compared to watching the boring auction, he wanted to play football more.

It's a pity that Franky went to Water 7...

On the side, looking at Charlos leaving, Xia Lulia curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and then wanted to stand up.

At this moment, Gawain grabbed Xia Lulia's hand and shook his head.

"It's okay. Since he's bored, let him go."

“But Brother Gawain, this guy Charlos is too disrespectful to us. We invited him to come and play together, but he dared to leave first!

This is really too much, I will definitely punish him when I get back!"

Xia Lulia was still not very happy. Charlos' early departure made her feel that Charlos was slapping the face of the Gawain family.

Well, after hanging out with Gawain and his crew for three whole months, Xia Lulia, who had been reluctantly accepted and respected by Gawain's subordinates by relying on her protection and help for Gawain's family members, had completely considered herself the mistress of the Gawain family...

On the side, Gawain, listening to Xia Lulia's elbow completely turning towards him, gently patted Xia Lulia's arm.

"Okay, Xia Lulia, we don't need to force Charlos to do something he doesn't like."

Moreover, although Gawain did not say it, he was hoping that Charlos would express his disdain for the slave auction.

As the leaders set the trend, when a series of celestial dragons care less and less about slaves, this industry will naturally decline.

As for Gawain.

He continued to linger in the auction hall with Xia Lulia, spending more than 20 billion to purchase dozens of subsequent items.

These include eight unremarkable devil fruits, two relatively meaningful devil fruits, three opera troupes, the best dancer in the West Sea, eight famous swords, and so on.

Stussy's work lacks professional performers, and it is more convenient to buy them than to train them.

Therefore, Gawain sent someone to arrange new orders for the auction house, which was to continue to collect all the entertainers in the sea who were disliked and sold by the nobles.

On the one hand, they are used to fill various programs, and on the other hand, those who are not qualified to join the program can also become anchors.

In this way, Gawain’s plan to conquer people’s hearts can officially begin as soon as the Vinsmoke family’s Den Den Mushi is delivered.

Chapter 423 The most terrible woman

After buying most of the items, Gawain left Shabaodi Island with Xia Lulia in the awe-inspiring eyes of everyone.

After passing the bubble pod and returning to Marijoa, when Gawain walked along the long street of self-propelled humanoids, Uta's voice happened to come from the forest.

“Is this how flowers and plants have to sing so that everyone can hear a forest?

Mr. Brook, I always feel that our musical concepts are not quite compatible.

Well, Uncle Bones, your rock music is really great, but I can’t seem to sing it with the passion you want.

So, it seems our band still needs to recruit some talents! ”

"yes……"

After Uta finished speaking, Brooke's voice also came from the woods.

"I am already quite old, and I am just a bag of bones.

Yohohoho, my old bones have really become just a bag of bones.

I don’t know much about current popular music, although I also like the vitality in your music, Uta.

But… yo ho ho, at my age, I really can’t sing with the energy and joy of a little girl! "

Hearing this, Gawain stopped and smiled.

Beside Gawain, Xia Lulia squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Hey, was the person who just spoke my goddaughter Uta?

As for the bone uncle in our goddaughter’s mouth…”

Xia Lulia thought for a moment and asked doubtfully?

"That bone man, it's strange, hasn't he been dragged away to feed the dogs yet?"

"Cough cough!"

Gawain patted Xia Lulia's butt in amusement.

"What are you talking about? Brooke is a pretty good guy, why would he be dragged to feed the dogs?

As for now, they may have heard our voices. Let's wait a moment and see what they are doing, and then we can go back together."

After he finished speaking, Gawain looked towards the forest in the direction of the sound.

After about ten seconds, more than a dozen figures emerged from the forest.

In addition to Uta and Brook, Princess Vivi was also there, as well as some other team members who were protecting them.

Now, taking advantage of the time when the Xuanniao is being repaired and upgraded, Gao Wen has straightened out the personnel of each squad.

In addition to the captains of each major team, members of other teams also have their own duties.

Those who can follow and protect Uta and others are naturally the members of the First Squad led by Rayleigh. They are relatively more detached, but Rayleigh is now only waiting to hand over the position of captain of the First Squad.

On the one hand, Rayleigh took a fancy to Yixiao, but Yixiao was not interested in the position of captain of the first squadron.

Compared to coordinating and giving orders, Yixiao prefers to be an executor.

Therefore, it is really difficult to hand over Mr. Rayleigh's position.

Rayleigh simply planned to use the position of the First Squadron as a means to attract talents. If other strong men like the admirals of the navy were willing to join in the future, it would be just right to let them be the captain of the First Squadron to replace the elderly Rayleigh.

As for a smile...

With the joining of Doflamingo and Moriah, as well as a series of younger generations such as Ace and Law, they are gradually becoming stronger.

The position of squad leader originally planned for everyone turned out to be a little insufficient...

Although there are not more than a dozen monsters on the ship, there are almost more than a dozen with the strength of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

In order to accommodate more monsters, provide them with more transcendent rights and status.

Gao Wen simply pulled out the Zero Squad as well.

In this world where strength is paramount, the Grim Reaper's tactics are still very suitable.

The thirteen normal squads can accommodate almost everyone, and the squad captains, vice-captains, and even individual officers can be monsters.

But if you are really not suited to the squad structure, or if you don't like the hard work of being a squad captain, you can go and join the transcendent Zero Squad beside Gawain.

The qualification to join the Zero Squad will be partly tied to merit, which can also provide a stable promotion path for the captains of each squad to avoid the problem of no more promotion.

This rule is enough for now, as for the future...

Gawain was waiting for the so-called Gate of the Heavens in his dream. If he and his subordinates could step into the sea of ​​stars, then expansion would never end.

In addition, if the so-called portal cannot communicate with the heavens...

By then, Gawain had other rules to appease his men who were destined to be more prosperous in the future.

In short, the members of the first team followed Uta and saluted Gawain respectfully.

At the same time, Uta also rushed towards Gawain with a big laugh, flew over to Gawain's shoulders, and started to play with Gawain's hair.

Seeing this scene, Xia Lulia couldn't help but smile. With her eyes narrowed, she pretended to be angry and patted Uta's calf in pink and white stockings.

"Uta, my goddaughter, hehe, I actually have a goddaughter!!!

Uh... cough cough!!!

In short, don’t be rash when doing things, be polite, and be in line with your future identity as a Tianlong!

Hehehe...hmm.

Although this is very cordial, if those hateful rubbish from other families see it, even if they dare not say anything to my face, they will definitely talk about the rules of my Gawain family behind my back!"

After she finished speaking, Xia Lulia couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She is just a child under 18 years old, but she has to think like a mother.

Moreover, this mother’s husband is Gao Wen, who possesses the most handsome appearance among contemporary Celestial Dragons!!!

Thinking of this, Xia Lulia's laughter became more and more unbridled, and she couldn't help but turn sideways and laugh out loud.

Seeing Xia Lilia behaving like this, Uta was upset and reached out to grab Xia Lilia's chest rudely.

"Hey, you woman don't have any manners yourself, but you tell others to follow the rules.

Humph, I'm glad I didn't learn bad things from you!"

After saying that, Uta ignored Xia Lulia who was extremely shy, covering her chest with her hands, blushing and looking at her coldly.

She held Gawain's ears with both hands and rubbed them gently while speaking to him.

"Godfather, why aren't there any normal mothers among the ones you found for me?
