Pirates: The wages are in place and the Yonko will be kicked out.

The golden lion waved "Deadwood" and "Sakura Ju", and struck dozens of times in rapid succession. Dozens of slashes that were more than twice as big as his previous golden slashes followed, and he screamed and collided head-on. The space crack created by Whitebeard!

"boom--!!!"

Violent explosions were accompanied by several giant water columns that were thousands of meters high and appeared in the sea between Moby Dick and Ranch Island. A large amount of sea water was blasted high into the sky by the aftermath of the two attacks and then fell down again. It made this sea area feel like an unprecedented rainstorm.

"Dad's attack... was actually... blocked..."

Marco's eyes widened and he couldn't help but swallow.

Although Golden Lion Shiji is also a famous pirate, and he formed the Golden Lion Fleet, in terms of current momentum and fame, he is much greater than Whitebeard in the eyes of the world. But Marco, as the No. 2 member of the Whitebeard Pirates, never felt that anyone could stop his father's shocking attack, not even the Golden Lion...

but now……

"Gu la la la la la! Marco, tell us to go down and move forward at full speed!"

The fight with his old friend made Whitebeard feel very happy. He laughed and said, "I'm afraid that bastard Shiji will be impatient to wait!"

When Moby Dick approached Ranch Island, the Golden Lion decisively activated the ability of the Fluttering Fruit. He flew over the Moby-Dick, and then slowly landed on the deck under the watchful eyes of the members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Whitebeard was sitting right in front of him, with a smile on his face:

"Gula la la la! It's been such a long time, Shiki! What you did recently has shocked the whole world!"

"Jie hahahaha! It's been a long time indeed, Newgate... But to be praised by a man like you, it seems that my large fleet has really shocked the whole world!"

The golden lion also laughed.

Immediately, he opened his hands boldly, as if he wanted to hug Whitebeard from afar:

"But although my grand fleet has been formed, what I said before is still valid-come and be my right hand! Newgate!! If my power is combined with yours, the whole world will be ours." of!!!"

"Of course, I will also treat your crew members as my partners..."

"Gula la la la! You are still dreaming about dominating the world as before, Shiji! But unfortunately, I still refuse!"

Whitebeard grinned and said, "Have you ever seen a father who brings his family to join other people's teams? What's more, being your partner is not a good thing at all!"

"Jie hahahaha! It's not like you, Newgate, would have said such harsh words..."

"So, why did you come to see me? Shiji..."

Whitebeard asked, "Waiting for me specifically on the island where I was supplying supplies, you must not just come to me to reminisce and say hello, right?"

"Ah, I do have something to talk to you about,"

The golden lion nodded, took a deep breath from the cigar, and spoke slowly, "I want to sign an agreement with you, Newgate."

"Agreement? Do you want our Whitebeard Pirates to form an alliance with your Golden Lion Fleet? If so, then you can leave,"

Whitebeard smiled and said, "My family and I have no interest in your ambition to dominate the world, nor do we want to have anything to do with your pirate fleet... If you want to find powerful helpers, crazy woman Lingling , brat Kaido, and even that loner monster Redfield, they might all be interested."

"Jie hahaha! It's not that kind of agreement, Newgate. What I brought is an agreement that is more in line with our mutual interests..."

The golden lion smiled and said, "That crazy woman Lingling and that brat Kaido have already signed. I believe you will also be very interested..."

…

Porusalino knew nothing about what happened in the New World. In fact, he had finally gotten over it and could end his days as a guard (butler) at Leander Palace.

However, before that, he had to accompany Leander Palace's family of three to the population auction venue located in 1GR of the Shampoo Islands to auction some goods and slaves.

Not to mention how troublesome this mission is (there are probably idiots like Wang Luffy who attacked the Celestial Dragons), just the mission itself makes Porusalino very disgusted - although he is now in the navy, and the entire navy They are all considered "subordinates" of the Celestial Dragons, but this does not mean that he can accept slavery in his heart. It would be better if it didn't happen in front of him. In that case, Porusalino could act like nothing happened and deceive himself and others like the Sengoku generals.

And if it happens in front of you, very close...

Porusalino was really resistant.

But resistance turned to resistance, just like a graduate student who has to be forced by his boss to do something he doesn't want to do in order to graduate. Porusalino could only obediently accompany these three world nobles to the population of 1GR. Auction venue.

…

"After the auction of the next item is completed, we will immediately enter the slave auction that our distinguished guests are most interested in! However, this does not mean that our next item is ordinary. In fact, our appraisal The experts unanimously agreed that this is one of the most valuable items in this auction!”

"Please don't blink!"

As the host finished speaking, two men in black suits vigorously lifted the red cloth covering the glass booth, and a long knife that looked anything but ordinary came into view of everyone at the auction.

(Damn it! This thing is not...)

Porusalino was stunned.

Porusalino's stunned expression was keenly noticed by Leander Palace, who was sitting next to him, and the latter quickly made up his mind.

The host excitedly introduced this unusual-looking long knife:

"As you can see, our auction item is a long knife. You can tell by its appearance that this is no ordinary weapon - after our appraiser's appraisal, it is at least a large and sharp knife. A top-notch long sword of eleventh grade or higher!"

"The ultimate long sword that is rarer than a Devil Fruit. The starting price is 150 million beli. Each increase in price must not be less than 10 million beli. The bidding starts now!"

The host excitedly smashed the small hammer, but there was someone at the scene who was more excited than him - as soon as the sound of the hammer fell, Leander Palace stood up and said proudly:

"Two hundred million beli! I will give you two hundred million beri!"

The aura of Leandre Palace was much stronger than the aura of the good-for-nothing Tianlong who was beaten to the ground by Wang Lufei in the Shampoo Islands thirty years later. Therefore, although her voice was not loud, it still made the entire auction crowd They all heard it clearly and couldn't help but take a breath of air.

"The world's nobles have taken action!"

"It's Leander Palace! Even among all the Celestial Dragons, she has the most noble status..."

"A direct increase of 50 million Baileys is really a generous move!"

"Tsk, if nothing else happens, this knife must belong to this gentleman..."

…

Many people in the auction venue began to discuss quietly.

Although Leander Palace couldn't hear what they were saying specifically, the awe on their faces impressed her, and the smile on her face couldn't help but grow wider.

Her father, Rodriguez Saint, who was sitting in the front row of Leander Palace, turned his head in surprise and asked:

"Leander, do you want to buy this knife?"

"Yes, Father."

Leander Palace smiled and nodded, then looked at the host who was in a daze: "I said 200 million beli."

"Yes Yes!"

The host reacted hastily, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with one hand, and banging the auction gavel with the other hand, "The world's noble Leander Palace bids 200 million beli, is there any higher?"

After hearing the host's words, many people sitting under the auction stage began to complain in a low voice.

"This host wants to die and doesn't want to involve us!"

"That is to say, how could anyone dare to bid against the Tianlong people!"

"I used to think that this knife would fetch more than 300 million beli, but it looks like it's impossible..."

Although from the perspective of the auction organizer, the host hopes that the knife will be sold as expensive as possible (after all, he can get a commission); but from the perspective of his own life, he still hopes that the knife will be sold quickly When it comes to auction, it doesn’t matter what the price is…

"The world's noble Leander Palace offered 200 million beli. Is there any higher price?"

The host sounded the auction gavel for the second time in a formal manner.

"The world's noble Leander Palace offered 200 million beli. Is there anything higher?"

The host couldn't wait to hit the auction gavel for the third time.

"The three biddings are over. Let us congratulate the distinguished world noble Leander Palace for buying this exquisite long knife for 200 million beli!!"

Although not necessarily all in a congratulatory mood (some people might even be scolding her secretly), everyone at the auction venue applauded in cooperation. Even Leandre Palace’s parents, Rodrigues Saint and Luqi Cama Palace, laughed and applauded her.

"Congratulations, Leander."

"Thank you father, thank you mother."

Leander Palace smiled and nodded, and sat down gracefully.

Although Porusalino didn't know Leander Palace's intention of taking the knife, after all, he was a Celestial Dragon, and he was so rich that he could spend it however he wanted, and he had no control over it. However, the offer from Leander Palace made Porusalino marvel at the wealth of the world's nobles, and he couldn't help but secretly nod at her emotional intelligence.

(If the Tianlong people auction something, no one would dare to refuse even if it only offers 1 beli... Under such circumstances, they also bid 200 million beli. The price is reasonable, and on the one hand, it makes the auction house and the owner better I did it, and on the other hand, it left others speechless and maintained the high profile of the world's nobility...)

(As expected of the heir to one of the Five Old Stars, this tact and politician’s qualities are not something ordinary people can learn...)

What? Will the future Celestial Dragon auction a mermaid in a similar situation?

Please, what does Leander Palace look like? What does he look like? Just a pure idiot.

(However, if this Kimpira is taken away by Leander Palace, what will happen to Gion’s sword in the future...)

That's right, the famous sword that appeared at this auction is the weapon of Captain Gion, the future admiral candidate and currently serving under Porusalino. The old thief Oda introduced this weapon very vaguely during the interview, but just like what the host said, this knife is at least a treasure of 21 or more high-speed swords, and may even be the supreme high-speed sword. One of the Twelve Labors...

After all, the name of this knife is very domineering. Jinpilao means crocodile (or dragon) in Sanskrit. Another meaning is that he is one of the twelve divine generals of Medicine Master, the leader of Yaksha.

Therefore, Porusalino is more inclined to think that this knife is one of the twelve skills of the supreme sharp knife!

Leander Palace was very happy to have photographed this kind of treasure, but not because of the item itself, but because she could use this knife to do something that she felt was very valuable...

(When the time comes, hum hum…)

…

The slave auction that followed was pretty much what Porusalino had imagined. The captured pirates, the noble family members who had major changes in their families, certain military attachés who were demoted as slaves because they violated the laws of certain kingdoms...etc. They are all objects of auction.

The rich and powerful people sitting under the auction table were bidding on these people as if they were buying goods...

Female slaves who are beautiful and have some strength are the most popular. Leandre Palace’s father, Rodrigues Saint, took two such slaves; strong male slaves are the second most popular because they are both You can let them fight in duels to make money, or you can let them serve as bodyguards. Porusalino saw many wealthy businessmen and small nobles bidding for such slaves.

Female slaves who are not good-looking but have strength are in the third level, and their prices are generally around a few million beli. And those slaves who are not good-looking and have no strength are in the fourth level, and one million beli is enough. Buy them; as for the older slaves and child slaves, they are the worst "commodities" and are usually given free of charge to the first and second grade slaves as additions or gifts.

Porusalino calculated that if he wanted to buy these slaves in this scene and then restore their freedom, he would have to spend at least close to 500 million beli.

This is 500 million Baileys in the year 1492 of the Hainian calendar. If converted into Baileys thirty years later based on purchasing power, it would be an astronomical figure.

And such a population auction will be held once a week in this auction house alone. There are 52 weeks in a year, which means at least 52 times. Even if calculated based on this price, the total amount will reach 26 billion beli.

This is definitely not an expense that any one person or force can bear - you know, many years later, Doflamingo almost let the wealthy Dressrosa ask for 10 billion Baileys. Entire countries perish. Therefore, in those otherworld travel novels, the situation where the protagonist buys slaves and sets them free is absolutely impossible to happen here in Porusalino.

Not to mention that many of these slaves are criminals and pirates who should be demoted to slaves. The crimes they committed can only be redeemed by being slaves, and even death is not enough...

(So ​​Fisher Tiger is a truly great man. He made the rich and powerful people in the world stand opposite him...)

(I am not that great, and I don’t want to be that great, just like the Warring States generals. Let’s just deceive myself and others...)

(But if there is a chance... I will never let down my conscience!)

ps: If the character of Porusalino was based on his original character, then he would definitely not get involved in any troublesome things. But since Porusalino in this book is a traveler from the Celestial Dynasty, then I I think that without affecting his own interests, he will naturally make some "superfluous" actions (the specific ones will be revealed soon, hehe~)

ps: 4.2k second update! This April, I think I may have to update this book from 250,000 words to 300,000 words.

Well, I had a lot of fun writing it, making various foreshadowings, and discussing the plot with you. From what I can tell you readers here, I honestly think it sounds nice and interesting. I don’t know about your reading experience. How? (I hope I can say something nice woo woo woo qwq)
