Pirate Catcher in the Rye

war house,

"Captain, the recording pointer has been recovered. Fortunately, we placed the recording pointer outside the island, and the magnetic force is fully charged!"

Jamory looked at the record pointer in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

After experiencing the previous explosion, he didn't know whether it would affect the magnetism. Fortunately, they had stored the record pointer last night!

"In that case, let's go!" Hawkins nodded.

Although more than 2000 people were lost, with the addition of Randall and nearly [-] beast leaders, the overall strength of the Hawkins Pirates rose instead of falling.

not only that,

Compared to those prisoners with ulterior motives, Randall's beast army is obviously more loyal and reliable!

……

Five days later,

Kingdom of Waconia.

Five days have passed since the horrific explosion, and everyone has come out of their 'sadness'.

Of course, this kind of sadness is not sad for those who died, but a kind of sadness for the death of rabbits and foxes!

Fortunately, they were pirates and were somewhat used to this situation of people constantly dying around them.

In the past five days, the Hawkins Pirates passed two uninhabited islands and a small island with a village.

However, the war house did not stay long, and after charging up the magnetism, it set off again!

Now, they have arrived at the Kingdom of Waconia, and the next stop is the destination of the Hawkins Pirates——

Kingdom of Wallis!

The Kingdom of Waconia and the Kingdom of Wallis are adjacent to each other, and the two islands are only about a day and a half away.

So this time, they no longer need to waste time storing magnetic power, but directly purchase the record pointer to the Kingdom of Wallis.

Because the distance is not too far, the two countries also have trade exchanges, and they are sold everywhere, and the price is very cheap!

Speaking of the Kingdom of Waconia, although it is also a large country with a population of nearly 500 million, its permanent population is very small, and its territory and military power are divided among ministers.

Because the king was ignored by his ministers and nobles, and he only maintained the form of a country on the surface, he had already existed in name only!

However, this country has not fallen into war. Most of the people are tourists and pirates passing by, as well as countless merchants. It is a kingdom with extremely prosperous commerce!

"Have you heard? Today, Lipolo Auction House has two top-notch items, which are said to be devil fruits."

"Devil Fruits! Two of them appeared at once, which is rare even in the Kingdom of Wiknia."

"It's not too unusual. The Kingdom of Waconia is one of the best golden kingdoms in the New World. Countless pirates and businessmen pass by every day, and there are even many people from the Navy and the World Government!"

The man said with pride, and the man beside him didn't refute, but looked like it was natural.

The two of them should be local aborigines, and the news about the Devil Fruit should have been spread by the auction house specifically in order to attract more customers.

No, it should be a rich fat sheep!

"Captain!" Bartholomew and the others were breathing heavily, and at the same time they were in disbelief.

They had never encountered anyone auctioning devil fruits in Beihai. Unexpectedly, they had only been in the New World for a week before they encountered one.

"Most Devil Fruit users are not weak in strength, and the New World is the target of all pirates. Over time, countless people with abilities have gathered in the New World."

"It is rumored that after the person with the ability dies, the Devil Fruit will be randomly reborn somewhere in this ocean."

"If we follow the principle of proximity, except for a very few, most of the devil fruits will stay in the new world!"

Hawkins opened his mouth to explain.

But one thing he didn't say was that there was no super power in the world, and even if he found a devil fruit, he would eat it himself.

Using Devil Fruit as a product, I am afraid that only the superpowers of the New World can do this!

This small sea area brings together nearly fifty kingdoms, four sea emperors, six emperors of the dark world, as well as superpowers such as the Don Quixote family and Gulan Tezzolo.

In this most powerful sea area, except for a very few Devil Fruits, most have become commodities for trading!

"Please take us to Lipolo Auction House."

"Who are you! I'm just..."

Before the man finished speaking, behind Hawkins, a centurion took out a stack of Baileys and threw it in front of him.

"You have time, Liproau Auction House, right? You must be travelers from afar, our Kingdom of Wiknia is famous for its hospitality!"

The man's expression suddenly changed, and he said with a flattering expression, while he carefully picked up Bailey and counted it.

One hundred thousand Baileys!

Super big fat sheep!

He was just leading the way, but he was actually given a reward of [-] beli. What a windfall!

"Let's go. If you're late, we won't let you go." Hawkins said calmly.

Their target is Devil Fruit, no matter what their abilities are, the Hawkins Pirates have a large number of people, there will always be someone suitable for them!

"Yes, yes, the auction starts in half an hour, and it's only less than 10 minutes away from here."

"But... that is the largest auction house in the Kingdom of Wikonia, and one must have at least [-] million beli to be eligible to enter..."

The man reminded me kindly.

Although he was only responsible for leading the way, if these people got angry and took the money back because they couldn't enter the auction house, wouldn't his trip be in vain?

"How much did you bring?"

"I didn't know there was a devil fruit auction before, so I only brought [-] million beli!"

"Go to the ship and get another 20 billion. We are bound to get the Devil Fruit this time. Of course, if someone can bid higher..."

Hawkins did not continue.

If it exceeds 20 billion beli, it will be worth it for them to fight any force other than the Yonko!

"You guys should go together, okay! Iji and you guys should go too."

Hawkins looked at the three Iji brothers and several centurions.

Money is not revealed!

What's more, in this sea area of ​​​​the New World, there are simply countless people who want money or their lives.

With Iji and the others here, normal situations can be dealt with, unless the core cadres of the Yonko Pirates take action!

20 billion? ! !

Hearing what Hawkins and others said, the man felt that his brain was a little insufficient, and he actually spent so much money just for two devil fruits.

With this money, he can buy a large manor, hire some extraordinary guards, and become a small noble.

What a waste!

Subsequently,

Under his leadership, the Hawkins Pirates quickly arrived at the Lipolo Auction House.

The entire auction house is a huge castle. It is different from the busy traffic as imagined. Only occasionally do some gorgeously dressed people enter the auction house at the door.

It seems that most people are familiar with the rules here. Only those with real financial resources can come here!

"Please verify your identity and show your credentials!"

As everyone was about to enter, a guard stopped Hawkins and the others at the door.

The so-called voucher means that the auction house values ​​the people who enter in order to arrange a suitable location.

Whoosh whoosh!

At this moment, several figures flew down from the sky, and behind them there were boxes containing Bailey.

It was Iji and others, and they saw that the boxes were strung together with a rope.

"It's just in time, open it all!"

Clap clap clap!

The suitcases were opened one by one, revealing the Baileys inside. Each suitcase contained 24 million Baileys, a total of [-] suitcases.

Gollum!

Several guards couldn't help but swallow.

As guards of the auction house, even though they were used to this kind of situation, this was the first time they saw someone carrying so many Baileys.

More than any previous guest!

"You are…"

"Hawkins Pirates, I am the captain of the Hawkins Pirates, Hawkins II."

Hawkins said shaking his head.

The fat on his face trembled with his movements, making him look like a super prodigal second generation ancestor!

"The Hawkins Pirates? The pirate group that showed off its might in the war at the top?"

"Big customer, super-super VIP!"

A guard opened his mouth wide and ran towards the auction house quickly.

It seems that they should go in and inform the person in charge of the auction house. After all, the Hawkins Pirates are now the largest pirate group after the Yonko.

Coupled with Whitebeard's death, it is even possible to become the new Yonko.

Marco, Blackbeard, and Hawkins II have become the hottest topics in the new world this week.

Who can reach the top and become the new emperor?
