Pirates: Start by rejecting the redhead's invitation

Before waiting for the auction to start, Lin Mo looked around casually and saw Monet the Snow Girl and Buffalo the Spinner sitting in the front row.

Sure enough, they came here for the Devil Fruit...

"Why, who did you see?" The red-haired man followed Lin Mo's line of sight and looked at Monet and Buffalo in the front row. He touched his chin and thought, "Who are those two? Do you know them?"

Lin Mo shook his head: "I don't know."

"You're still looking at someone if I don't know him?" The red-haired man couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha, you must have fallen in love with that green-haired woman, right? Although you can't see her face, you can see her back.

She should also be a beautiful little beauty, okay, Lin Mo, I didn’t expect that you would be good at this at such a young age."

Lin Mo glanced at him speechlessly.

At this time, several more people came in at the entrance of the underground auction.

It was Akainu in casual clothes and several marines.

Lin Mo and Hongfa could tell at a glance.

Akainu and his group sat down in the row of seats near the entrance behind where Lin Mo and Hongfa were sitting. Not long after he sat down, he noticed Hongfa and Lin Mo.

Because the light was dim and the face was profiled, Akainu couldn't fully see the red-haired face, but the outline looked familiar.

"Admiral, have you found a suspicious person?" The navy sitting next to Akainu asked in a low voice.

Akainu stared at the red-haired man seriously and said, "Does the man in the straw hat look like the red-haired Shanks?"

"Red-haired Shanks?" The navy sitting next to Akainu was stunned, and immediately looked in the direction Akainu was looking. When he saw that the straw hat the red-haired man was wearing was different from the one on the previous wanted poster, he

He shook his head and said, "General, that guy shouldn't be the red-haired Shanks. The red-haired guy is wearing a straw hat."

It is the hat that Gol D. Roger wore during his lifetime. It is a very important thing for the red-haired man and will not be thrown away casually. But the straw hat that man is wearing is a hat made by a local in Alabasta on the way here.

, we have seen many people wearing it, and it is a different style from the red-haired straw hat.”

"Really?" Akainu didn't notice the hats worn by the people here, and looked away from the red-haired man.

Akainu looked over just now, and of course the red-haired and Lin Mo could feel it.

Lin Mo was fine, Akainu didn't know him anyway.

On the other hand, the red-haired man breathed a sigh of relief when Akainu looked away: "Fortunately, that guy didn't recognize me... Lin Mo, do you know who the big guy sitting in the row behind us is?"

Lin Mo: "..."

I know…

The red-haired man said softly: "He is the Navy Admiral, Akainu Sakaski. He is a very powerful person. If you get entangled with him, it will be quite troublesome."

Lin Mo glanced at the red-haired man again speechlessly.

You are the future Yonko. Even if you ten years ago fought against Akainu ten years ago, would you be afraid?

However, it is true that I find it troublesome.

"Anyway, let's keep a low profile before that guy discovers us." The red-haired man whispered.

Lin Mo said calmly: "Just shut up."

The red-haired man was stunned for a moment, couldn't help covering his mouth, and laughed.

Lin Mo was quite speechless.

This red-haired guy really loves to laugh...

Many of Luffy's habits were learned from this guy...

Not long after, a tall, thin man wearing a black hat and a goatee came to the auction display stand.

After a few brief greetings to everyone, the auction officially began.

Two girls in bikinis brought the items to be auctioned one by one to the display stand.

The previous auctions were all diamond treasures found in ancient ruins, and the people who auctioned them were all locals from Alabasta.

Until an hour later.

The main event is here.

The man with the goatee began to excitedly introduce the finale treasure: "You must have heard of a treasure called the secret treasure of the sea, a treasure called Devil Fruit? Although eating the Devil Fruit, which is the incarnation of the sea devil, will cause you to be poisoned.

The sea rejected it and became a landlubber, but each devil fruit can give the eater powerful superpowers. Therefore, the market price of devil fruits can even be sold for more than 100 million beli. Today, what we are auctioning is the natural type.

One of the devil fruits, come on, bring up the goods."

As soon as the man with the goatee finished speaking, the two girls in bikinis pushed a trolley with a small square wooden box on it and came to the man with the goatee.

Everyone in the audience stared at the wooden box expectantly.

The man with the goatee curled his lips and lifted the sliding door of the box facing the audience. One of the boxes had a spiral pattern on the top, a cyan fruit handle, a swirl at one end and a flame shape at the other, and the skin was composed of countless small flame-shaped spiral fruits.

The orange-red spherical fruit with gathered lines appeared in front of everyone.

Lin Mo looked at the devil fruit placed in the square box speechlessly.

He was extremely certain that this was the Devil Fruit that Ace would eat, Luffy's adopted brother in the future, Gol D. Roger's son.

He remembered that Ace should have eaten the Sha Shao Fruit on an unknown island...

Why in Alabasta now?

"Oh? It's the Shashao Fruit." The red-haired person touched his chin and stared thoughtfully at the Devil Fruit that had been targeted by many people.

Seeing that everyone in the audience was very interested, the man with the goatee continued: "I won't say any more nonsense. The base price of this devil fruit starts at 100 million beli. Each time you raise your hand, the price will increase by 10 million. The auction has officially begun.

, everyone can bid!"

Immediately afterwards, people in the audience kept raising their hands to increase the price.

It wasn't until Shao Shao Guo was called by an old man that it cost one billion, no one raised their hands anymore.

The goatee man said with a smile: "One billion, now it's one billion, will anyone increase the price? If not, this devil fruit will..."

Before he finished speaking, Buffalo, who was sitting in the front row, raised his hand and said: "Five billion."

"Ten to 1.5 billion?" The goatee man was startled, "Shall we just add 500 million?"

Buffalo said with a smile: "Hey hee hee hee, yes, I will add 500 million directly. Is there anyone with more than me?"

"What's going on with this guy?"

"You have nothing to spend your money on, right? Really, how can you shoot like this..."

People around him complained dissatisfiedly.

The old man who had previously increased the price to one billion looked at Buffalo speechlessly, calculated his wealth in his heart, and silently gave up on continuing to increase the price.

"Okay, one and a half billion, does anyone want to increase the price?" The man with the goatee almost burst into laughter. Those who are in the auction business naturally hope that the auction items can be sold at a better price, so that they can make more money.

many.

"Who are those two people?" Akainu asked, staring at Monet and Buffalo.

The navy man next to him immediately took out a pamphlet and started rummaging through it. Monet didn't find it, but he found information about Buffalo.

"Report, that woman doesn't know, but that fat man is from the Don Quixote family."

"Don Quixote?" Akainu sneered, "Is that the pirate family?"

"Report, yes!"

Akainu sneered and said, "Hmph, just in time. Once we get the Shashao Fruit, we'll arrest those two people."

"Huh? But I'm not sure whether that woman is an accomplice of the Don Quixote family."

"What's so sure about this? Those two people sitting together are a gang. Just arrest them!"

Then, Akainu raised his hand when the goatee man asked for the last time if anyone wanted to increase the price, and said directly: "Two billion!"
