Chapter 373 Chaos Begins

As the host introduced, a cart was pushed out from the backstage.

On the cart was a huge oval, covered with cloth, so people couldn't see what was inside, which was very mysterious. Countless guests participating in the auction showed curious looks.

After the cart stopped, the host said: "I believe that many people are eager for this item. Next, let's reveal the most popular item together. Please enjoy it!"

As the voice fell, the cloth covering the cart was lifted, and a huge glass fish tank appeared in everyone's sight.

In the fish tank was a mermaid girl with a human body and a fish tail. It was the mermaid Camie that Luffy and others wanted to save.

Mermaids have always been the most popular slaves in the pirate world. Because of their scarcity and difficulty in catching, mermaids are sought after by a large number of nobles, especially female mermaids, who are even more popular.

When the mermaid in the fish tank appeared, the atmosphere of the entire auction reached its peak in an instant. Countless guests shouted loudly, and the huge noise was deafening.

"Great, it's really a mermaid!"

"What a young mermaid!"

"This is a rare treasure!"

"I must buy him, even if I have to pay all my property!"

Some guests looked crazy when they saw Kemi in the fish tank. Even the Celestial Dragons looked at Kemi on the stage with very fiery eyes.

Compared with these enthusiastic guests, Nami and others looked very unhappy. Seeing Kemi being put into the fish tank and auctioned as a commodity, Nami and others were all very angry.

"Kemi, it's Kemi!" A fishman said loudly, his voice choking.

"Xiaoba, don't worry, we will definitely rescue Kemi!" Sanji said angrily.

He loves beautiful women and hates to see women being wronged, let alone being auctioned as commodities.

Nami also said: "Don't worry, Xiaoba, we have a wealth worth 200 million Baileys, and we will definitely be able to buy Kemi back!"

Hearing the comfort of the two, Xiaoba was immediately moved.

"Oh my, it seems that everyone is in high spirits!" The host on the stage picked up the microphone and said with a smile: "Since everyone is interested in the last item, I won't waste my words. The auction starts now!!!"

Just as the host finished speaking, the Celestial Dragon Charlos Saint suddenly stood up and announced loudly: "Five hundred million!!! I bid five hundred million Baileys!!!"

The entire auction hall was quiet at that time.

500 million Baileys is already a sky-high price in the pirate world!

Even some well-known pirates may not have such a high bounty!

Such a sky-high price directly scared away most of the guests. Even if there were many wealthy people who could afford this price, they stopped bidding after seeing that the person bidding was a Celestial Dragon. They dared not continue to compete.

The other party was a world noble Celestial Dragon. Who dared to compete with him? Did he not want to live?

For a while, the auction hall was silent.

Nami and others in the corner of the back row of the venue were originally preparing to bid enthusiastically, but after hearing the number of 500 million, Nami's little face immediately showed a look of despair. They simply couldn't afford 500 million Baileys.

"Why is this happening?" The bid card in Nami's hand slipped to the ground.

"It's bad!" Sanji gritted his teeth.

Chopper in the image of an elk said anxiously: "Think of a way, think of a way quickly, I don't want to see my friends being bought as slaves?"

But no matter how anxious Nami and others were, they couldn't think of any solution at the moment.

The host on the podium began to announce: "Excuse me, if no one bids more than 500 million Baileys, then I will announce that the auction of this popular item will end as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, Nami and others became even more anxious.

"No, absolutely not, we have to save Camie!"

"Don't be impulsive, there is a bomb collar around Camie's neck. Once it explodes, Camie will be dead!"

Tianyu, who had been paying attention to Nami and others, smiled and was calm after seeing this.

He knew the next plot, and the next part would be the most interesting.

Just as in the original plot, when the host announced that the mermaid Camie belonged to the Sanctuary of Charlos, Luffy and Zoro finally arrived and fell from the sky.

The two guys rode a flying fish and directly broke through the roof of the auction house, fell into the auction house, and injured many guests on the spot.

Then the situation continued to develop according to the original plot. Luffy saw the mermaid Camie being auctioned as a commodity on the stage. He was impulsive and immediately prepared to rescue her.

When the mermaid Hachi tried to stop Luffy, he was shot by the troublesome Charlos Saint, which completely angered Luffy, and Luffy punched Charlos Saint away.

Instantly, everyone in the auction hall changed their faces. No one expected that someone would dare to attack the Celestial Dragons.

Even a fool knows that the consequence of attacking the Celestial Dragons is that the admiral of the navy will take action.

Instantly, countless guests fled, and the auction was completely messed up.

Tianyu has been observing the development of the situation, and he has been standing by and watching the whole process. Watching Luffy and his people fighting with the Celestial Dragons' guards, Tianyu even felt a little bored.

"Hey, uncle!" Luo suddenly stood up, walked to Tianyu and sat down, and asked: "The admiral of the navy is coming soon, aren't you going to run for your life?"

Tianyu laughed and said: "I like to watch the excitement the most. I must not miss such a lively event!"

"Really?" Luo stared at Tianyu's face and asked again: "Uncle, have we met somewhere before?"

The two of them had certainly not met. Luo felt familiar with Tianyu because when the selection system arranged an identity for Tianyu, he was also a famous pirate. In Luo's memory, he had seen Tianyu's wanted order.

"Maybe, I can't remember it clearly!"

As soon as the voice fell, the field changed again. The female Celestial Dragon Xia Lulia Palace, seeing that the guards were no match for Luffy and others, suddenly rushed to the stands and prepared to shoot the fishman Camie.

Luffy and others were too far away and there was no time to stop them.

At this time, an old man appeared in the stands. This old man had silver hair and looked quite old. He wore a pair of reading glasses, slippers, and loose clothes.

His old face was covered with traces of time. From the outside, this old man looked ordinary, but Tianyu, who was familiar with the plot, knew how terrifying this old man was.

This was a hidden master with the strength of a navy admiral, Pluto Rayleigh, the former vice captain of the legendary One Piece.

Tianyu was more familiar with Rayleigh. After all, he had cooperated with Rayleigh in the last global competition, although he was still very weak at that time.

Seeing Rayleigh appear, Tianyu's eyes flashed. After Rayleigh appeared, Xialulia Palace on the stage suddenly fell unconscious.

Tianyu was the only one in the audience who saw that it was Rayleigh who issued the domineering aura and stunned Xialulia Palace. And the mermaid Kami was also rescued.
