Tracing the source begins with One Piece

"I didn't expect that such a character would come here. It's really interesting." The spotted man wearing a winter fur hat raised the corners of his mouth and muttered to himself in a low voice, with Doflamingo, Kaido, and Moonlight Mori in his words. Asian words.

"Captain, you're so scary like this." Shiro Xiong, who was sitting next to him, was sweating coldly at the gloomy and sinister look on his captain's face.

……

At this time, people began to flow in, and they unexpectedly saw Absalom, and the tool man beside him seemed to be thrown outside to wait, letting the shadow bat guide him over.

"Why are you here too? Absalom." Moria asked Absalom to sit on his left, and Perona was on the right.

"Hehehehe~~ Lord Moria, in a hidden corner, I heard a big news." Absalom smiled happily, like a rat who had stolen oil, and said mysteriously, " A mermaid will be auctioned here, a beautiful mermaid, I want to buy it."

"Do you have money?" Moria looked at him as if he regarded the mermaid as something in his pocket, and couldn't help but remind him of a cruel reality.

"Me, 5000 million!"

"Are you sure it's enough?" Moria asked Spider Rat to bring a price auction sheet and handed it to Absalom.

"Humanity - 50"

"..."

"Giants - (Male) 5000 million (Female) 1000 million"

"Mermaid tribe - (male) 100 million (female) 7000 million"

Absalom looked at the price auction list and muttered about the price. The more he looked at it, the more he felt sad. His life was gloomy, as if a mermaid was floating past his eyes but he was helpless to catch it.

These prices are only the reserve price, and they will increase exponentially during the auction.

"Lord Moria, is there anything wrong with the auction content?" Perona took the auction list from Absalom's hand and said with a gloomy look of disbelief.

In her opinion, she always thought that the auction house only auctioned some valuable items, such as devil fruits, weapons, decorations and the like.

I never thought that he was a "human" or "sub-human" at the auction. Even though I came to see the mermaid as mentioned before, I thought he was a waiter at the auction house or something like that.

After seeing this auction sheet, I realized my lack of "imagination". Someone was doing such a crazy slave auction in an open and honest manner.

"Slaves exist on this island, no, in the entire world, but they are made public here."

Moriah touched the kitten to calm her down. At this moment, her three pillars of outlook were swaying a little. It was hard for her to imagine that she had lived under the protection of Moriah since she was a child and had never traveled around the world. The darkness of this world.

Slaves are just a little dregs of darkness, hiding deeper ugliness and sin.

"But isn't this illegal?"

"Perona, the rules are made by people. Those who can make the rules will abide by them if necessary. If they are in trouble, they will modify the rules, or even directly ignore the rules. Never overestimate the 'justice' of the higher-ups." Moria meant Said what he was referring to.

"Isn't that a hooliganism? How can such a rule be allowed to exist? Does the Navy think it is reasonable to turn a blind eye and listen to it?"

"The existence may not necessarily be reasonable, but there must be a reason for its existence that makes even the navy turn a blind eye, such as..."

"for example?"

"Dragon Man!"

……

Dangdangdang~~~

As the person in charge of the auction house taps the chopping board with a small wooden hammer, he silences the whole place and makes the customers aware that their long-awaited auction is about to begin.

"Hello, everyone, long time no see. Welcome to Auction No. 1. I am your dear auction manager and host - Disco. The items in this auction will definitely open your eyes."

Star Eyed Disco took the microphone and spoke the opening remarks vividly and excitingly.

"Now, the auction officially begins"

Wow~~~~

Along with the cheers of everyone in the audience, the neon lights on the top of the auction stage suddenly lit up to set off the atmosphere, and the Star Eye Disco also started an auction called an auction, which was actually a slave trade.

"I would like to invite product No. 1 to the stage, the fur family Pixie"

"This is a rare ancient race. They look like animals, but they can talk and communicate."

"This is a male fur tribe. If the ladies present have bold ideas, you can also propose them to it."

"And the most important thing is, I heard that they can also transform into supermen."

"The base price is 70, so hurry up and bid. Everyone, there is only one fur tribe here."

……

Moria looked at the "merchandise" that came out of the backstage, which was tied with iron chains and had bomb collars on its neck and arms. His eyes were indifferent and he had no comment about this "auction".

This "commodity" is broken, numb, dead, without any fluctuation in the eyes, like a worn-out rag doll.

Absalom curled his lips to show that he was not interested, and continued to chant "Mermaid".

Perona's excitement at the beginning turned into a bit sluggish. When she was on the terrifying three-masted sailing ship, she had never seen blood and fire before facing the pirates in the "night attack" activity.

Her bug-like ability made everything smooth sailing for her. Before the enemy could do anything to her, they were already wiped out by her ability.

Regardless of what Moria did to these pirates later, this was just a bad prank.

She is just an innocent, fun-loving little lolita with a princess dream, which is completely different from Nicole Robin, who has lived a life of conspiracy and betrayal since she was a child.

Seeing how evil in human nature can reach such a despicable level caused her to have a mental breakdown. Although she was an orphan from the country's subjugation, her childhood memories of wandering had long been blurred. At this moment, she was suffering from an unprecedented "spirit" in her memory. baptism".

After knowing the truth about the auction, Perona listened to the "noisy" "bidding" going on around her. She kept her head down, covering her ears, and chose not to listen to the auction. Moria couldn't help but hug her. He came over and put her in his arms, patting her back to comfort her.

Looking at her like a frightened kitten huddled in his arms, Moriah stroked her little head without saying a word, just quietly watching the auction, watching the people on the scene who were shouting with red ears and faces. The "person" who raises the price.

At this time, two spider rats appeared in front of Moria.

A spider rat crawled over with an intelligence finger in its mouth. This was one of his orders. He asked the spider rat to collect information about the slave outside. Many spider rats quickly collected it from various taverns or information dealers. This was easy. Local affairs.

One has a key ring with several keys in its mouth!

Moria put away the key, read the information, and after thinking for a while, the shadow beneath him swam on the ground and headed outside the door of the auction house.

Shadow Mage!
