[One Piece] Inferior Star

The little girl seemed to be asleep.

Kidd carried Youxiang on his back and walked towards 1GR. At first, he thought that if he met Kira and the others on the way, he would throw her to them, or put her in the car anyway.But Youxiang just hugged his neck tightly, and he couldn't even put it down to rest.

"Is this little girl also like this before? I mean little boy? Is it like this to everyone?"

"Well... there is nothing to compare with. She can rely on very few people." Matthew replied, "This is the first time I have met a captain who is like an elder who can take care of her and tolerate her existence. After all Childhood sweethearts are more like friends... plus those boys are a little unreliable men."

Are you complimenting me?Kidd didn't answer right away, he thought for a while, and then said, "Is that what this little girl meant when she said that the world can't accommodate her?"

"You still remember, Mr. Captain."

"Of course I remember." Having said such strange words... Kidd said, "However, it's not too much. It's not like she has nowhere to go now."

"You really exceeded my expectations." Matthew smiled and said, "I thought you were a notorious pirate, just like all those vicious guys in history...but it seems I was wrong After all, this is not the world I know."

"I can't understand you guys." Kidd gave up understanding what Matthew said, "However, no matter how vicious I am, I will never give up a companion. Even if I make you a crew member on a whim, I will I will take it seriously. If you want to become the One Piece, this is the most basic."

"I don't know about One Piece, but it is true that in this sea, human beings rarely survive alone." Matthew said so, and saw a familiar figure ahead, "Ah, Mr. Kira and the others are there."

"Ah... finally." I'm going to die of exhaustion!The main thing is that this chick is on my neck and I can hardly breathe!You have to change someone, let Kira carry her on her back!Or maybe it's time for her to wake up too!

"Kidd, you guys come back—what's the matter?" Kira walked over when she saw this, and saw the blood on Youxiang's body, "Youxiang..."

"She's fine, it's not her blood." Kidd said so first, and then started calling Youxiang, "Hey! Little girl! Wake me up! We're all here! 1GR!"

"Well...the captain is bad..." Youxiang made a coquettish voice, Kidd's coat was very soft and fluffy, and she didn't want to get up when she got stuck in it, just when Kidd was thinking about whether to 'eat' her When it's time--

Matthew's glass eyes suddenly flashed red, and he said, "Miss Youxiang, please excuse me. This is Mr. Lu Fei's contact."

"Hey! Luffy!!" Youxiang woke up suddenly after hearing the name, she let go of Kidd and jumped off, and immediately ran to Matthew, "Did Matthew give him the phone bug? Or..."

"Because the satellite was launched, I made a communication device that is more useful than the phone bug." Matthew explained, and he said, "I gave it to him not long ago, thinking that we might need to contact him in the future , I didn’t expect to let him use it first. Anyway, I connected.”

After Matthew finished speaking, Luffy's voice appeared on his body: "Hey! Matthew! Xiangxiang! You can hear it! It's me! Luffy! It's not good! Not long after we separated, Kai Mi was kidnapped!!"

"Kai, Kemi?!!" Takumi heard this disturbing news when he was still thinking about what kind of magical technology this is, "What's wrong with Kemi! Mr. Luffy! What is this... "

"Ah...you are that Kemi's friend! We will talk about the specifics later, anyway, Kemi may be sold to the 1GR auction venue now! We are rushing there, and Nami said that I should tell you! "

"Luffy! We're near 1GR!" Youxiang immediately said, "Are you sure Kemi has been sent here?"

"Yes! We found the information!" Luffy replied, "Then, Xiangxiang...Cami is my friend, can you help me?"

"Of course!" She is also Takumi's friend!And the mermaid was sold to the auction or something... That Tianlong man just now... Just thinking about Youxiang makes his whole body go numb, "I understand, I will think of a way before you guys arrive!"

"Ah! Please! By the way! Nami and the others may have arrived first, you should meet them first! I will be there soon!"

"understood!"

After saying this, the communication was interrupted. Before Kidd could say anything, Nami's voice came over: "Hi! Xiangxiang! You are here!!"

"Miss Nami!" And the little deer I met before... are Luffy's companions!Youxiang greeted her immediately, "I've already heard what Lu Fei said!"

"He contacted you!" Nami replied, "I see, we have just negotiated with the people in the auction house... The only way to save Kemi without disturbing the Tianlong people is... use this The rules. Take a picture of Kemi!"

"Excuse me!!" At this time, Takumi tried his best to get off the bubble car, he looked at Nami in a panic and said, "Kemi...Kemi she...I...Miss Nami, what is your budget? !"

"Hey, hey? Budget?" Nami was a little surprised, she thought Takumi was going to say something, ignoring Sanji's excited voice because she saw two (suspect) cute girls at the same time, she said, " The treasures on board add up to about [-] million Baileys."

"Two hundred million Baileys..." This is a lot of money, but as a mermaid, Takumi was informed by his elders of the attitude of humans on land towards mermaids since he was a child.For a young female mermaid like Kemi, maybe [-] million... He hugged his backpack tightly, and then quickly handed the backpack to Nami as if he had made some realization, "Then put these away as well." Come down!"

"Huh? This is..." Nami took the backpack in surprise. It was much heavier than it looked. When she opened the backpack, a golden light came out of it. It was full of gold coins and gems! !

"Mermaids... young female mermaids are the most 'hot' commodities in the auction house." Takumi calmed down now, and he said, "2 million Berries may not be enough... so please take these .”

"But, this money is..." Where did you come from?

"...It's my money. Don't worry." It wasn't obtained through any illegal channels.Takumi replied, "I would have liked to redeem one of my artifacts, but...but now it's clear that Kemi is more important. Had she been sold into slavery...I wouldn't forgive myself. Here's probably Around 1 million Berries... please!"

Takumi... When he mentioned that artwork, his eyes were very gentle, and it was also very important to him.But now he chooses to save his own clan. Although Takumi always said that he has no friends, for Kemi, he should be a very good friend.So……

"Captain." Youxiang grabbed Kidd's sleeve, "Can you do something for me?"

"Huh?" Come on little girl!Kidd was still thinking, 'Did that mermaid boy actually carry so much money on him? ', when Youxiang grabbed his sleeve, he panicked, "No matter what you're thinking, don't want it. I said I won't hoard treasures, so I don't have [-] million Baileys to solve troubles!"

"Not this." I know you have no money.Youxiang said her plan was something else, "There should be a backup plan, right Matthew?"

"...Is this the starting price for a mermaid?" After looking at the leaflets he got from Luffy's other companions, Matthew said, "Sorry, I don't want to discourage everyone, but [-] million Baileys may be worth a lot. I can't beat it. Tianlong people are the kind of people who have nothing but money and power. Even if they want to save face, they will try their best to raise the price."

"Hmm..." It's not like I haven't thought about this kind of thing... Nami said, "Even so, are we going to give up?"

"No. I'm just saying that besides the auction, we should have a backup plan in case something unexpected happens." Matthew said, "Isn't it okay to just break in from the outside?"

"Both auction items and slaves will wear explosive collars around their necks!" Chopper said, "We've seen them on the street before... If you run away without taking this collar off, the collar will explode... and ..."

"The Tianlong people are inside." Kidd couldn't stand it any longer, he interjected, "If you force them to alarm them, the admiral will not let us go."

"I see..." Matthew said without a moment's pause, "Then this is our plan, if you still believe me, please listen carefully, although it may not be the safest, but it can ensure that we keep Get back everything you want—by the way, save the poor auction items. After all, Matthew's plan will always be perfect."

It's Eustace and the Straw Hats.

When the newcomer walked into the auction house, Luo glanced back for a while.Originally, I came here because I was bored to see what kind of nasty games the 'powers' of these worlds are playing every day, but didn't I expect these two groups of people to be interested in this kind of thing?And the expressions are so serious.

But that guy Eustace... why did the woman around him change!That little cutie before, isn't it.What about the previous one?Abandoned her so soon?What a scum, hmph, it's my own fault for having expectations of pirates.If we can find her again on the archipelago, can we...

Are you crazy? Are you thinking of something weird?Don't think about it!There are more important things to do.Luo told himself this, and then forced himself to focus on other things, such as what was the thing on the head of the noble sitting in front of him?And this auction is really disgusting. How interesting is this behavior of treating human beings as commodities... The lives of these nobles are too empty.

After a while, probably after three or four 'auction items', Luo already felt sick. He sat on the chair with his head propped up, looking lazy.His eyes moved to a man in a suit and leather shoes not far away.Because the smell of perfume has been wafting from him.

Is it okay for a man to wear this perfume?Originally thought so, but when Luo raised his eyes and saw the man's face, he thought it might be all right.Luo didn't have any special hobbies, but even if he was a man, he felt that this man's face was 'too good-looking'.

He was wearing a black suit, and the fabric of the suit could be seen from such a distance that it was not ordinary fabric.A black cloak of the same material was worn over the suit.His short black hair was combed back, forming a beautiful shape, probably someone specially groomed it for him.He wears white gloves and carries a staff topped with a snake's head and a ruby.

This person also came to the auction halfway, because of the smell on his body, Luo had a little impression of him.He didn't walk in alone, and the bodyguards in black suits who followed him were still guarding in a corner not far away.

I don't know where he is from the nobleman of the palace, but so far, he has not bid for anyone, and even that beautiful but expressionless face has not shown a wave of fluctuation.

"The next auction item! It's a young human girl!" On the auction stage, the host Disco raised his voice excitedly. Luo turned his head and saw the girl he had been thinking about day and night (in fact, he had only seen it once) He even came forward!What a joke!That fellow Eustace sold the crew? ? ?

Luo turned his head to look at Kidd in disbelief, and Kidd stared at the stage with a displeased face and didn't notice his gaze.I thought this person had a bottom line, but after seeing my knowledge of pirates, I was about to refresh myself!

Damn... Luo turned back, and he looked at the people who were bidding wildly because the host didn't show a little bit of her perfect (actually exaggerated) lines. They must not be bought by this group of people.What about the small sign you got when you came in? ?

"Captain?" The crew members watched in amazement as their calm captain picked up the small sign and began to bid: "500 million!" He offered a price that was almost double the current highest bid.

Captain... is not normal.The crew looked at each other, while other guests began to discuss secretly.The host showed a satisfied smile, which had exceeded his expectations.After all, even if this kind of human little girl is pretty, it would be very—

"1000."

Suddenly, a calm voice sounded, and the man with the scent on his body held up a sign. Amid the uproar of the guests, he looked at Luo: "You seem to like her very much. Captain Trafalgar .”

"What... are you...?"

"So, how much is she worth in your heart?"

"1000 million——!!" The host on stage shouted excitedly, but this time he did not attract Luo's attention. Luo stared at the man in front of him, and once he held up a sign: "2000 million! .”

"..." The man actually showed a little smile, and he looked at Luo as if satisfied, "That's it?"

"I don't want to argue with you...but the auction would be disgusting as hell. I just don't want her to be a slave, that's all."

"I see." The man raised his eyebrows slightly, he responded, then turned his head to look at the host, and raised the sign again, "4000 million."

hateful! !Who is this man! !Even if he is as fond of and fragrant as these perverts, there is no point in provoking him!And that tone seemed to have known him for a long time... Luo suddenly became angry, and this account must be settled with that bastard Eustace and this guy in the future!but now……

"8000 million." He made another offer.

"..." The man didn't raise his card this time. He looked at Luo and smiled, and then made an 'I admit defeat' gesture.

Of course, at the end of the 8000 million deal, regardless of Luo's mood, the 'myself' who was watching behind were also dumbfounded.Matthew said in disbelief: "Fortunately, I recorded the video, otherwise I would think I saw hallucinations... Could it be that two fools were bidding for Miss Youxiang just now?"

"No... that..." Although this is part of the plan, even if the price is a bit higher than expected, you still have no confidence in Youxiang, right?Kira said, "This is not something to advocate, no matter how high the price is—"

"And that guy over there is Trafalgar Law??" Kidd said a little excitedly, "What does he want to do? Is he sick?? Why do you want to bid with someone??"

"Ah, that person..." Matthew remembered, there was a little bear crew member, the one that You Xiang ran to divination for him.Matthew suddenly realized, "So it's 'love'."

"Huh???" Kidd made an unbelievable voice, "What the hell???"

"It's a terminal illness of human beings." Matthew said emphatically, "It's probably love at first sight or something. Anyway, once you get this disease, you will do a lot of unreasonable and abnormal things. In short, that person is not saved."

"...Huh?" Kidd was still confused, and Kira looked at his captain quietly. It seems that you are hopeless, captain.

"But who is the person who bid together?" Fortunately, someone found the point here. Nami said, "It's not on the wanted list, and it doesn't look like a pirate."

"Hmm... someone I haven't seen before." Matthew checked his database, and he said, "Maybe it's just a bidder on a whim. Anyway, the plan is going well, and Ms. Youxiang should have completed her own bid." task."

"That..." Octopus Xiaoba said to Matthew with some worry, "Is it really all right? If the child is also auctioned, wouldn't it be..."

"Trust me. The real problem is not the collar you are worried about, but the admiral who may be dispatched at any time because of the existence of the Draco." Matthew explained, "So if we can follow the 'procedure' to fool the Draco, Even if the other guys here are tricked, no one will care at all. So..."

"The plan is, it would be great if we can successfully use the money to take Miss Kaimi. If not, what Miss Youxiang did is our backup plan. It's just a few collars, since they used them Automatically, it means that they have stepped into my field, so they have no chance of winning in this regard."

"Although I don't understand very well... But thank you." Xiaoba said, "We obviously don't know each other very well, but that child and you are so helpful..."

"We'll thank you after we succeed. Although my plan is usually perfect, it's only 'perfect in theory'." Matthew interrupted Xiaoba, and he said, "I don't know what will happen unexpectedly. Events, when the time comes, we also need to play by ear.”

"Ah. With Takumi's treasure, plus what's on our ship, it should be enough." Nami said, "I hope we won't use the backup plan. By the way, is Xiangxiang okay by herself?"

"Well... don't worry about her, she's not 'alone' now." Matthew raised his eyebrows, he said, "Even if someone really wants to do something to her, we have to get out of the 'fire' first There is no need to worry about her safety."
