A certain scientific pirate

Mo Fei and Avril entered areas 1 to 20 of the Shampoo Islands.

If there is anything that is a "distinctive feature" of this archipelago, the bubble culture is one, the Celestial Dragons are one, and the slave trade is also one... In other words, the Celestial Dragons "contributed" a large part to the prevalence of the slave trade.

There is no killing without buying and selling, and "need" is the root cause of this distorted transaction. If someone needs slaves, someone will naturally find a way to satisfy this need because they can make money.

There is a human auction venue in Area 1 of the Shampoo Islands. The business at that venue used to be extremely hot, but due to some special reasons, it has gradually become colder... The auction venue still exists, but it is only open for business. Well, it's not working anymore.

According to the laws of this world, "human trafficking" is naturally prohibited, but the "auction items" at auctions are often pirates and people from non-World Government countries... The former are not protected by the law, and the latter are not protected by law. They are not "human beings" in the legal sense of the world government.

Just as merfolk and murlocs were considered fish long ago, the laws of the World Government...

Just have fun.

Until now, many people still think that mermaids are all fish. However, in fact, there is no reproductive isolation between humans, mermaids, and fishmen.

According to the Navy, it is not a "place for slave trading" but a "job referral center". I really don't know if this is hypocrisy or self-deception.

Now Mo Fei decided to visit the venue.

The navy uniform he was wearing was quite useful. Although many people looked at them sideways along the way, no one wanted to attack the navy lieutenant commander. Most people would choose to walk around.

So Mo Fei and Avril played the role of "quiet street tigers".

By the time they came to this area and walked to the front of the auction venue, Avril had already frowned tightly... It was obvious that she disliked this place very much.

After all, Avril can use the Haki of seeing and hearing, so what she sees and feels is definitely different from someone like Mo Fei who can't use the Haki yet.

There were several bodyguards standing at the door of the auction venue, and in addition there was a "salesman".

After the salesman saw Mo Fei and Mo Fei's navy attire, his first judgment was that these two people were here to cause trouble. When he was thinking about what excuse to use to drive these two people away, he heard Mo Fei ask, " Is there an auction going on now?”

"Uh... Yes, a customer?" The salesman was stunned for a moment.

"Can I still enter the ongoing auction? I heard before that you need to make an appointment in advance to participate in the auction, right?"

Mo Fei asked again.

Hearing what he said, the salesman's attitude instantly became enthusiastic, "Of course you can enter. Guest, you are lucky. There are not many guests today, so there are still some seats left in the venue."

He didn't care whether Mo Fei was a navy or a pirate. As long as he was here to sell "things", he would naturally be a customer to the operator.

Mo Fei stretched out her hand to take the number plate handed over by the other party, without exposing the lie told by the salesman... It was not because she was lucky that the place was not full of people today, but since certain incidents, the place was no longer full. Come on.

You only need to make an appointment when business is booming. When business is quiet, why don’t you just come in whenever you want?

Mo Fei and Avril walked into the venue and found a seat at the back to sit down.

Looking around, he found that the occupancy rate in the venue was less than 50%, and the guests were all sitting scattered.

The "special seats" for the Celestial Dragons in front still existed, but there were no Celestial Dragons sitting there.

Further ahead, the owner of the auction venue and the host of the auction was shouting at the top of his lungs, selling his "product" to the guests in the audience - a beauty from the snake-headed tribe.

If Mo Fei remembers correctly, this person's name is "Disco" and he was once Doflamingo's younger brother.

However, Disco shouted for a long time and no one bid... The "goods" could only be rejected.

When Mo Fei came here, the auction seemed to be in its later stages. After a few more "goods" were auctioned, the last "auction item" in the "finale" was finally put on the stage.

“The last item today, everyone, there is no doubt that this is a very rare treasure.

Now please allow me to introduce product No. 43 to you:

The mother is from the fur tribe, a cat-like fur tribe.

My father is a human from the Wilvarin Kingdom!

Age 14 years and 8 months!

A hybrid between a human and a fur race!

Her body is filled with dirty taboo blood, but it is precisely because of this 'taboo' that God gave her such an outstanding appearance! "

As Disco spoke, the petite figure standing on the stage wearing handcuffs and a collar lowered his head lower and lower. To the people in the audience, this was just an ordinary human girl with light brown hair wearing simple "sack"-like clothes.

Then, Disco pressed the top of her head and pulled her hair sharply, making her face look up.

As a pair of pointed ears popped out from her head, the guests in the audience finally exclaimed.

"Pointed ears, fair and delicate skin, a beautiful face, vertical pupils, and... a slender tail like a house cat."

Disco held her head down with one hand and opened the corners of her mouth with the other. "It originally had sharp fangs, but they were too dangerous and damaged the quality of the product, so they were filed down first."

Then he raised one of the opponent's hands, "At first glance, it looks like an ordinary human hand, but slender and sharp claws can be found between her fingers... Although it is also dangerous, it is very dangerous. It is an ornamental feature. It is up to the customer who takes the product to decide whether to remove the pair of claws.

Dear guests, such an elegant and special creature cannot be seen under normal circumstances. The production cycle is at least ten years. If you miss it, you will never see it again! "

"Mo Fei..."

In the midst of Disgao's wild praises, Avril called Mo Fei's name... She rarely called him by his name directly.

This can reflect her emotions at this time.

The nature of auctioning adults and auctioning children are different, and the sensory stimulation they give people is also different. The latter... will probably make normal people extremely disgusted.

Human beings like yourself are put on a stand and used as commodities for auction. This approach will naturally arouse people's instinctive disgust.

It's a pity that there are only a few normal people in this venue.

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Mo Fei just patted the back of April's hand to show that she understood.

Disco knew how to arouse the emotions of the "guests". After heating up the atmosphere, he said, "Now I announce that the auction for item No. 43 will begin, with a starting price of 7 million beli."

7 million beli, this price is 10 times that of normal fur people, so when Disco called out such a base price, many people immediately became hesitant.

However, at this moment, a young man sitting in the last row began to hold up a sign:

"200 million Baileys."

Well, of course Mo Fei doesn't have 200 million Baileys.

But it didn't matter, because he had no intention of paying.

If he pays and takes the person away, it's called a "slave sale."

If he doesn't pay and takes the person away, it's called "slave emancipation."
