One Piece's Life

;

It was indeed getting late, but even if someone came to urge him, Elijah still sat quietly in the chair: "She came to urge her, okay, I understand. Heidi, you come in first."

Heidi didn't reply. After pushing the door open, she stood there quietly. However, the phone bug she held in her hand spoke: "Elijah, what are you bastard trying to do? Are you talking about it again?" You are allowed three minutes to be there for coffee or reading, otherwise you..."

Putting down the documents and putting on his military cap, Elijah smiled and said: "Oh, I'm not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry? That matter is indeed very important, but now... the auction hasn't started yet?"

"The mission won't start until the auction is about to end. Even if it's late, it shouldn't be a problem. Why is there someone you want to meet in a hurry?"

Kagulina didn't like his attitude very much: "Huh, military discipline is so lax. It seems you don't want to be your major general. If you haven't arrived in ten minutes, then don't come."

Seeing that the call had been hung up, Elijah was very depressed: "Oh, she is not cute at all and no one forces her, why is she always so positive? On the premise of ensuring that the task is completed, it is not impossible to be lazy. Heidi, I That’s right.”

After putting away the phone bug, Heidi said coldly: "Major General, how could you have such an idea? This is not like what you heard... Lieutenant General Kagulina's hearing is very powerful. She must have heard what you just said. As for those words, I advise you to be careful."

Elijah naturally understood, but he didn't care: "Just hear it, what's the big deal, Heidi, I still can't get used to wearing this coat, hold it for me."

As soon as Heidi took over the coat, Heidi felt someone's strange gaze: "Heidi, the skirt you are wearing today... is too short. You are still young, so hurry up and change."

"No, Kagulina only gave us ten minutes, and now one minute has passed. Please stop teasing me, Lieutenant General."

Elijah never forgot his duties. After clearing up his mood, he no longer had other things on his mind: "Are the soldiers in place?"

Seeing that the commander had returned to his usual serious expression, Heidi immediately replied: "Except for the soldiers who have missions and those who need to stay behind, the rest are in place, except for the major general."

Because of the importance of this action, Elijah gets the coat back from Hattie. When he finished getting dressed, his whole aura changed again: "It's really not good to keep your subordinates waiting for too long. Let's go quickly."

Heidi followed silently, but not long after the two of them left the office, another phone bug in Heidi's pocket suddenly rang: "Elijah, are you being passive at work again? Do you want to do it? If you don't want to, Come on, just tell me that you don’t really like peace and quiet. That harbor should be very suitable for you.”

The proposal is very touching, but it cannot realize Elijah's ambition: "Marshal Tang, don't provoke me with these words. I will not go to the Demon Sea before visiting the teacher. Sorry for the second half of the chapter, I am executing it." Mission, what’s the matter..."

"Wait a minute, Elijah, I have a special task that I need you to complete..." "Shouldn't the special task be left to Kagulina?"

"You kid... why do you have so much nonsense? Just listen quietly" "...Okay, Marshal Tang, please speak"

The auction was about to begin, but Xiuzi was not happy to come at all. He felt that these short few minutes were too tedious: "Um... Mickey, why hasn't the auction started yet?"

Mi Qi had just come back from going to the toilet. Seeing Xiuzi's sluggish face, she was confused: "Why are you so anxious? It will start soon. Go and wash your face first."

At this moment, Xiuzi regretted coming to lead everyone here. But now that I'm here, I have to take a good look: "I'm fine, I'm just a little sleepy. Guys, if you like something later, just take a photo of it. We're not short of money anyway."

As soon as she sat down, Mickey kicked Xiuzi: "That's not okay, Xiuzi. You should rarely make money. Do you know where our money comes from?"

"It's all earned by Schnebby. The potions he prepared and the medicinal materials he collected are all important medical supplies. It's because of this that our Bailey has never been in short supply. You probably pay little attention to this kind of stuff." Let's do it"

Xiuzi didn't feel embarrassed at all, but was very happy: "Oh, I didn't expect Schnebby to be really good at it. Gray, who are those two people behind you?"

Shouzi was always a hindsight on certain things. Feeling Shuzi's curious gaze, Grimmjow showed the ring on his ring finger: "Hey, you are Shuzi, right? Sorry, I haven't formally said hello to you yet. It's my fault."

"Hello, my name is Grimmjow. I am Gray's twin brother. Actually... I stayed on your ship for half a day, but I left for some reasons. Now that I think about it, I really miss that time. "

Shuzi was shocked when he saw Grimmjow's true face. He had never heard Gray mention the other party before, and what was even more shocking was that the other party had been on the ship before, which made him confused as the captain.

Looking at the two people repeatedly, Xiuzi couldn't help but scream, which made the middle-aged man on the side very unhappy: "Kid, do you understand the rules?"

Warren was helpless, but fortunately he was already used to it: "Sorry, uncle, he's just like that. I hope you can forgive me."

For some reason, the middle-aged man couldn't get angry every time he looked at Warren. This feeling was strange, and it made him feel ridiculous: "Huh, looking at you, you don't seem to have much money. Could it be that you just don't have much money?" Just watch and buy it.”

Xiuzi knew that he had lost his composure. After calming down, he said nonchalantly: "Uncle, don't underestimate us. We don't have many Baileys, but if we want to take pictures of a few things here, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Uncle, looking at your outfit, you must be very rich. Are you here to buy something? Hehe, does uncle know some of the interesting auction items?"

The middle-aged man is just a nouveau riche, so he comes here to spend money. The number plate in his hand was No. 69. According to his idea, he planned to buy 69 auction items to show his wealth.

It’s just that he didn’t understand Xiuzi’s question: “Interesting auction kid, since you dare to come here, how come you don’t know about this kind of thing?”

"But this auction is really special. I heard that in addition to the common rare items for sale, some ultra-rare treasures will also be auctioned. It is said that there are even secret treasures from the sea. I don't know if it is true."

"Devil fruit?"

The person who asked the question was Mickey. The middle-aged man nodded subconsciously and said, "Yes, it's a devil fruit. I didn't expect that the little girl is very knowledgeable."

"I have never seen what a devil fruit looks like, but I understand its value. However, no matter how valuable it is, I will not buy it. After all, I don't want to become a landlubber. The time is coming. I advise you to be quiet. point"

Hearing the Devil Fruit, Xiuzi became excited: "Hey, Devil Fruit? If it's possible, I won't eat it if I really want to get it. If a swordsman borrows external power other than the sword, he is no longer a swordsman. Then who should give it to eat?”

"Selala still... no, speaking of... I don't seem to have given him a greeting gift, so I'll give it to him."

Xiuzi's casual thoughts left Lily speechless: "Xiuzi, I haven't even gotten the Devil Fruit yet, what's the point of all this?"

The same goes for Mickey, but she also has thoughts about Devil Fruits. She once read a document recording that she wanted the Meteor Whip to become a Devil Fruit item: "Don't worry, we will definitely get it."

Looking blankly at Mickey's side face, Martin was sure that he had recognized the right person: "Grimmjow, I remember this woman who beat me seriously several years ago. You must avenge me."

In the early days, Grimmjow often heard Martin mention this matter, and he knew at that time that the person Martin resented was Mickey.

Now that I think about it, Martin was so cute at that time: "Oh, it's been so long, how do you still remember that no matter what, they are our friends, don't say such things again. By the way...Martin, do you want to eat it?" Popcorn"

"I haven't eaten popcorn for a long time. Of course I want to eat it. But... Grimmjow, do we still have enough Bailey?" "Don't worry, we still have this kind of small money. If it doesn't work, we don't have these friends." Well"

The auction house seemed noisy, but in fact it was not. After all, they were basically all well-known people. Apart from greetings, there was not much exchange of words.

In a seat on the right side of the third row in front, Stanley, dressed in a pure white formal suit, sat quietly. Regardless of others waiting, he had arrived early and was always paying attention to the movements on the stage.

As a qualified businessman, he is naturally familiar with the history and current situation of the Shampoo Islands. Now that he could faintly hear the faint sounds coming from behind the stage, he understood that the slave trade was an essential link.

Thinking about the slaves he had seen in Mary Joa, Stanley felt very conflicted.

No one in this world can stop this. He knows this very well, but now that he has seen it, he has to try it no matter what.

But there was one thing that puzzled him. He had rescued hundreds of slaves and restored their freedom, but no slave was grateful to him.

Was he not good enough to these slaves or should he not have saved them?

Now that I think about it, it's not the case. There is no difference between saving or not. There is nothing he can do to change this situation.

Stanley put away his thoughts and was very worried as he grabbed the number plate. Through some previous inquiries, he understood that there were many competitors in this auction, and the 3000 million beli that Elijah "lent" to him was simply not enough.

But now that you're here, you have to think carefully: apart from the 50 Baileys for daily expenses, don't even think about what good things you can get with the remaining Baileys. Those extremely popular auction items. Alas, I hope no one will argue with me later...

The dim stage lights turned on, and the scene suddenly became quiet. A fancy-dressed male host appeared on the stage with a rhythmic pace: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. If you come to support me, you are supporting this auction house. We will not let you go home disappointed.”

"No more nonsense. In addition to the monthly GR Human Auction on the 1st, there will also be some special commodities auctioned today. I guarantee that you will be satisfied. You are all looking forward to it. Then the auction will officially begin."
