I Have Been Sleeping Among Pirates For A Hundred Years

Joel looked calmly at the Ajins and the others who were rushing towards them.

There weren't many surprises about them arriving first.

After a short conversation, he ordered the accompanying Crowe to bring the three of them to the castle for temporary stay.

"It turns out these are pirates under Xue Tong's command. No wonder they are not weak..."

Capone Bege looked at the scene in front of him with some surprise, and found the reason for his misjudgment of this battle.

After thinking for a moment, he threw away the cigar in his mouth, turned around and left slowly.

…

Joel continued walking along the mangrove numbers alone, like a leisurely stroll.

About half an hour later, I arrived at area 13 from No. 17.

A bar called "Shaky's Rip-Off BAR" came into view.

Joel stretched out his right hand from his cloak and slowly pushed open the bar door.

The bar was quiet, without any customers.

A tall, thin woman with short black hair and a spider-patterned top stood behind the bar, holding a rag in her hand and carefully wiping the plate in her hand.

"Welcome to Shakky's bar, I don't know what to order..."

Shakky spoke skillfully, slowly looked up at the visitor, and suddenly stopped speaking as if his vocal cords were knotted.

“A tequila cocktail bar.”

Joel sat on the chair near the bar very naturally.

Shakky took a deep breath. Just now, she got important information from the informant that Xue Tong had landed on Sabaody Island.

But she never thought that Xue Tong would come towards her with such a clear purpose.

But she quickly came to her senses, turned around, took down several different wines from the wine cabinet, and started mixing them.

"I am no longer the emperor of Daughters Island. I am just an ordinary bar owner."

Shakky regained his composure and pushed the prepared cocktail on the bar.

"It has nothing to do with this."

Joel picked up the wine glass and tasted it slowly, "The craftsmanship is good."

"I didn't expect to be praised by Xue Tong."

Shakky smiled slightly and said, "It really makes an old woman like me happy."

"Yeah……"

Joel smiled noncommittally.

Faintly catching the narrow-mindedness in the other person's eyes, Shakky couldn't help but be startled.

She suddenly realized that what she said was a bit ridiculous.

This man has Xue Tong who has lived for more than a hundred years.

Calling yourself "old" in front of him is really a bit ignorant...

The air in the bar fell silent for a few seconds.

Shakky showed a faint smile again and said:

"Mr. Xue Tong, I am a little curious about one thing. Can the Devil Fruit ability really bring eternal life?"

"So what about eternal life..."

Joel lowered his eyes slightly, sadness flashed in his eyes, "Living alone all the time may also be a curse."

"..."

Feeling the sadness in Joel's eyes, Shakky slowly sat on the round chair behind the bar. Without asking any more questions, he changed the subject and said,

"So, Mr. Xue Tong just wants to come over for a drink because my bar is so famous?"

Joel said calmly: "I'm here to see Silver. Rayleigh today."

"Silver. Rayleigh..."

Shakky looked at Joel, the expression on his face gradually disappeared, "There is no such person here, I only know one coater, Lao Lei."

"That's right, I'm looking for the coater Lao Lei."

"He hasn't been to my place for half a year." Shakky felt relieved.

"Is that really the case..."

Joel nodded in anticipation.

Shakky continued: "But if you want to find him, you can try your luck at the auction house. If he has no money to gamble, he will go there to hang out."

"Thank you. How much does this cup cost?"

"If it's Mr. Xue Tong, the bill is naturally free of charge. You are welcome to come to my place for a drink at any time."

"I don't really like owing favors."

Joel put down a gold coin, stood up and walked towards the bar door.

Shakky looked at Joel's leaving back, lit a cigarette and took a puff, then picked up the gold coin in his hand and glanced at the color and lines above.

Almost at a glance, she recognized the value of this gold coin - if it were placed in an antique shop, it could be auctioned for at least one million beli.

"As expected of Xue Tong, his actions are really generous..."

…

Sabaody Island, Area 1, human auction venue.

As the door of the auction venue opened, nobles of different appearances walked out of the venue in twos and threes.

Hawkins, who has flowing blond hair and a slender figure, wearing black pants and a ruffled white top, sat at the guest seat, calmly looking at the front curtain that had not yet been opened, and murmured without any hesitation:

"Trafficking humans?

How far human beings can be vicious is really making me curious..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the figure in front of him on the left, "There are more and more degenerates born under the corrupt system. It seems that there is no fallacy in the divination... The royal power will eventually come to an end."

X. Drake, who had a hooked nose and wore an eyepatch, looked back at the person behind him as if feeling something, and soon turned his head back with a serious expression.

"The magician Basil Hawkins... is indeed a strange man."

As the crowd surged, the guest seats gradually filled up.

The door was about to close, but suddenly it was pushed open again.

A tall figure in a windless cloak walked into the auction venue.

"That man..."

Drake looked back, with a hint of surprise on his serious face, "I didn't expect him to come to a place like this."

Hawkins looked at Joel's back walking down the stairs, and a drop of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

He quickly took out the cards and began to divine as if no one else was watching, and then the look on his face became more and more exaggerated.

"Has the established destiny been changed? It's incredible. I didn't expect such a thing to happen...but divination can't go wrong."

Finally, the curtain of the platform slowly opened.

A man wearing star glasses walked out from the background,

“It’s been such a long wait!

I, MR~~~Disco, have prepared high-quality slaves for you, all of which are interesting products. I sincerely hope that you can get your favorite slaves! "

"Then, let's start the bidding now! First, Slave No. 1..."

As the atmosphere heated up, the shackled slaves in the background were constantly pushed up.

"Slave No. 2 is Mero, the clown from South Blue. In addition to being able to juggle, his biggest advantage is that he has a perfect double-butt chin! The starting price is five hundred thousand, is anyone willing to bid?"

"Someone over there offered 530,000 yuan. Is there anyone with a higher offer?"

"Then, 530,000 yuan is sold! Let us congratulate the gentleman in seat 31 for getting a perfect double-butt chin!"

After several rounds of auctions, Disco tried his best, but the transaction price was always mediocre, and even he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

"Slave No. 25..."

He looked at the speech and couldn't help being stunned, but he still tried to keep up his decadent spirit and introduced the white-haired old man who had stood up.

"Siz is an old man who is only seventy-six years old. If you buy it back, you can clean the yard and trim the weeds in the garden. The biggest advantage is...it's cheap!"

"Then, the starting price is...50,000."

After Disco finished speaking, he couldn't help but secretly lament that the market has been sluggish recently, and an old man approaching eighty years old could actually be sent here.

Moreover, the average selling price of normal human beings is more than 500,000 yuan...

It doesn't make any sense whether an old man with fifty thousand can sell it or not!

Just when he felt that the auction was about to fail, a voice suddenly sounded like music to his ears.

"I'll pay 100 million beli."
