Pirate: My crew are all emperors?

Whether on earth or in this pirate world, this was Rocks' first time participating in such an auction, and everything here was new to him.

Sitting in the private room looking down through the window, the staff presented the auction items one by one under the host's instructions. Whether in the hall or the private room, the bidding was endless.

Locks found that many of the things sold here were collectibles with outrageous prices, but their practical effects were not very good. He couldn't help but sigh:

"It's been a drought and a flood, and food and clothing are a problem in many places. A bottle here can be sold for hundreds of thousands or even millions of beli."

Kate heard what Rocks said and said:

"This is the meaning of luxury goods. For those wealthy people, the more expensive the luxury goods, the more they can demonstrate their status."

"It's not all vanity that's at work, but it's no wonder, everyone has vanity."

If Rocks also becomes a man worth hundreds of millions, then he probably can't guarantee that he won't spend money lavishly like those guys.

While Rocks and Kate were chatting, the goods they brought were also presented in the hall. To Rocks' surprise, Kate's things were actually favored by many people, and the price of several pieces even exceeded one million. !

This made Rocks couldn't help but take another look at Kate.

The latter noticed Rocks' eyes, touched the tip of his nose and explained:

"As a businessman, I am very concerned about the price fluctuations of these things. I knew the news clearly before I came here. The products this time are all the best-selling ones, so don't worry about not being able to sell them. Next Just see how much it sells for.”

Kate brought at least twenty pieces of goods this time. If all were calculated based on the prices sold at the previous auction, and the cost was discarded, the profit would probably reach 2000 million beli, which is much higher than what Kate said at the beginning. .

Sure enough, maritime merchants make money faster than pirates!There is no need to worry about being targeted by the navy, after all, the money is earned legally.

But many times, things tend to develop in the direction you least want to see.

After Kate's sixth item was sold, a very inappropriate voice suddenly sounded in the auction house:

“I don’t know how many products this seller has left, but I want them all.”

As soon as this statement came out, many people began to whisper, but the strange thing was that no one stood up to stop it. After all, the rule in the auction house is that the highest bidder wins. It seems that none of these people dared to compete with him?

"This guy……"

Locks frowned, and Kate sighed:

"That guy is a member of the 'Bacchus'. It seems like those people are really starting to target me."

"So blatant? Didn't you say that there are three forces on this island?" Rocks was puzzled. No matter how powerful the "Bacchus" was, it would not be able to suppress the other two forces. Otherwise, this would not be possible. It's a three-legged situation.

Kate smiled self-deprecatingly and said:

"It's naturally impossible for the 'Bacchus' to do this in a big way, but...these things we have are nothing to this island. Even the Devil Fruit with a transaction price of around 5000 million beli appears here. More than once, so they won’t conflict over this small amount of money.”

It seems that what they need to worry about most now is what action the "Bacchus" will take against them next.

"Do these guys value the red wine that much?" Kate didn't understand the meaning of the bloody red wine.

But Rocks is different. He can clearly realize how much his strength has improved with the bloody red wine. It's no wonder that the "Bacchus" organization values ​​it so much.

If the origin of the bloody red wine can be obtained, who knows how many powerful people will be created by then, maybe this sea area will become their territory.

"Everyone, be prepared. I'm afraid it won't be easy to leave later."

Rocks gave instructions to the people in the private room, and Edward immediately cheered up. Little girl Liz showed some uneasiness and hugged Rocks' arm tightly.

This also made Rocks a little lucky. Fortunately, he brought Liz with him. If she was left on the ship, an accident might happen due to the condition of the island, so it would be safer to take her with him.

This unexpected situation at the auction house did not cause much disturbance, because these goods were just insignificant luxuries, and it did not matter if they were bought by the "Bacchus", so the auction continued quickly, but Kate's things totaled Only more than 600 million Baileys were sold, which was several times lower than planned.

This situation made Rocks grit his teeth secretly. If that person hadn't caused trouble, he would have definitely made a lot of money this time. Seeing those Baileys slip away from his eyes, Rocks felt his fists clenched.

"Rocks, it's time to go."

Kate's voice brought Rocks back to his senses, and he saw that he had gone to the backstage to take out the Bailey from the transaction and put it in a box. It sounded like some coins.

"This is?"

"In order to facilitate storage, the currency here is gold coins with high circulation. The value of these gold coins is the income from our things."

"I see."

Locks nodded and was about to take everyone back to the ship when a few men in black suits and ties suddenly blocked the way. The leading middle-aged man looked at Kate and said:

"Boss Kate, our boss invites you."

Locks frowned and was about to block him, but Kate stretched out her hand to pull him and shook her head slightly.Then he looked at the middle-aged man and said:

"Well, since it's Lord Dulan's invitation, I naturally can't refuse."

"Hey, Boss Kate is still discerning. It would be nice if those people before were as cheerful as you. They don't have to mess around with the brothers because they rejected the boss. Those guys might have entered now. Neptune’s stomach is full!”

Although these words seemed to be unintentional, the pride and contempt in these guys' eyes were not concealed at all. This made everyone present feel uncomfortable, but considering that they were on other people's territory, it was not easy to cause trouble. It’s too big, so you can only see what the other person wants to do first.

"Let's go."

The middle-aged man led the way, while the other men in black stood around the group of people, blocking their possible escape route.

Seeing this, Rocks subconsciously blocked Liz between himself and Edward to prevent these guys from suddenly getting angry and hurting anyone.

……

Under the leadership of the man in black, Rocks and his party came to a very luxurious-looking building on the island. When the man in black took them to an office, a faint smell suddenly floated in the air. Wine aroma.

"This is……"

The tip of Locks' nose twitched, and he quickly noticed the strange aroma of these wines. After smelling it, his body was directly excited, but his consciousness began to drift. If Locks hadn't been unable to fall into coma easily due to the fruit's ability, he might have been tricked by now.

Seeing that everyone else was starting to get confused, Rocks quickly shouted:

"Wake up!"
