“Sister, what should we do?”
The backbone of the Boa sisters is Hancock, even though her physique may not be as impressive as her two sisters. However, when it comes to strength, she surpasses her two sisters by far, solidifying her position as the eldest in the Kuja tribe’s environment.
In other places, one could try to buy a ticket to return home, but Kujas are clearly an exception.
“Let’s wait a bit longer. We can talk to them, and Amazon Lily will definitely be willing to offer a reward for this.”
Although she found Olga handsome at that time and felt a little flutter in her heart, since she hadn’t gone through the torture of the Celestial Dragons, she was not so infatuated that she lost her mind.
It’s just that she didn’t see any problem in staying a few more days. From Olga’s words, she learned that ‘he’ had something to do on Sabaody Archipelago, and she planned to discuss it with him after ‘he’ finished his business there.
Even if they cannot land, as long as they can arrive in the nearby sea area at a specific time, they can encounter Kuja’s ships.
As for why she was confident in what she said, it was because of the current state of Amazon Lily. The situation on Maiden Island is unique, and their people depend entirely on warriors who go to sea.
Moreover, all children born on Maiden Island are 100% girls, which seems to be a peculiar characteristic of the island.
Such a country naturally values its people, which is why she has the confidence.
While the three sisters whispered to each other, Victarion knelt directly in front of Olga.
“I want to join you.”
“Sure, you can just follow us to our ship when we’re ready to go.”
“Umm… I also have a bounty of 50 million as a pirate. If they hadn’t used dirty tricks, I wouldn’t have been caught so easily. With enough manpower, I’m not afraid even if it’s the Marine fleet.”
Looking at the other’s indifferent expression, Victarion felt that he was being looked down on. He believed he was different from those ordinary people. Staying behind was partly because it was dangerous without his own ship and crew, and also because of his relatively weak physical condition.
On the other hand, he wanted to repay the favor to the other party for saving him, which is why he chose to stay.
Compared to fighting strength, his ability to command naval battles was stronger. However, after entering the Grand Line, due to the lack of high-end military power, his command ability was greatly weakened.
But the other seemed to treat him as an ordinary person as when he mentioned his bounty, Olga’s expression didn’t change at all, and the people on the ship didn’t react either.
This amount was nothing in the New World; Gifters who have undergone training can all reach this level, and individuals of this caliber can even form a unit within the Beasts Pirates.
And this indifference made him feel that his decision was the right one. Those who look down on a 50 million bounty must be quite strong, so he seemed to have chosen the right person to follow.
His original plan was to rely on another powerful pirate crew after entering the New World, and now it seems that he made the right choice.
Some of the people stayed to guard the ship, and the rest went directly to the auction.
Hancock and others were also asked to stay on the ship for now.
At the auction house, the disguised Olga and Elizabeth sat in a corner, while in the backstage of the auction house, the owner of this auction house was furious because the promised slaves had gone missing once again.
Such incidents had occurred from time to time over the years, with unknown forces and mysterious newcomers stealing the slaves.
“I’m telling you! If the Celestial Dragon is not satisfied this time, you won’t have an easy time either!”
Angrily hanging up the Den Den Mushi, the owner of this place looked at the auctioneer of the auction house.
“I’ll leave it to you to handle it. Try to make the Celestial Dragon spend their budget before that, or there could be trouble.”
While the Celestial Dragons have ridiculous wealth, they did have a budget. If they could make them spend their budget early on, it might prevent certain events from happening later.
Certainly, with the status of the Celestial Dragon, they could just blatantly rob what they wanted. However, doing so would bring them disgrace within the Celestial Dragon community. Hence, most Celestial Dragons opt for the regular auction process, as money is just a number to them.
Artware, gems, and jewelry; these items marked the beginning of the auction, and in addition to them, there were also some slaves. Although some had been lost, this place is after all an auction house, and they naturally had other slaves.
The owner even went to the neighboring slave market and bought a few. Compared to them who sell everything, the slave market has more slaves, after all, they only sell slaves.
At first, everything was going smoothly, but when a Devil Fruit was introduced, an unexpected situation occurred.
The reserve target of 1.2 billion Berries is for two Devil Fruits, which was originally a substantial amount of funds. Even if it is an Ancient Zoan, it is still just a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, and this amount is more than enough.
However, today Olga encountered something very unpleasant.
“300 million Berries.”
“400 million!”
“600 million!”
“Damn it.”
Watching the bids shouted by the other side, Olga silently cursed because that Celestial Dragon was inexplicably fixated on these two Devil Fruits.
For the first three, she had only called out prices probingly and gave up when someone else contested.
But this Celestial Dragon showed no signs of giving up. This time, it seemed like he hadn’t found any slaves to his liking, so he set his sights on these Devil Fruits.
The two Devil Fruits were being sold separately, and now the Celestial Dragon had raised the price to a level that Olga couldn’t afford.
“Who is the one daring to bid against me?”
While Olga cursed silently, the Celestial Dragon displayed his displeasure as well. He was already unhappy because he hadn’t found the slaves he wanted, and now someone dared to bid against him, causing him to spend more money.
“Saint Hobb, they are likely just some ignorant person.”
“Hmph, send someone to follow him. Anyone who dares to bid against me will pay the price. It just happens that I haven’t found the slaves I desire.”
“This…”
“Yes?”
“Understood.” The person next to him seemed to want to advise the Celestial Dragon, but upon hearing his displeased tone, he immediately changed his stance. It’s better for someone else to have bad luck than himself.
At the same time, Olga also gave up on the bidding.
“Olga, aren’t we getting the fruits? It’s the captain’s order.”
“No, of course we are, but we need to find another way.”
“What?”
“We’ll steal them. We’re pirates, after all. Is there anything wrong with taking someone else’s things?”
Although Olga rarely led raids, hunting slave traders couldn’t be equated with robbery. Her identity had always been a high-ranking officer of the pirates, and not doing something didn’t mean she couldn’t do it.
As for the consequences of robbing a Celestial Dragon, it would be her disguised illusion, and doesn’t have anything to do with her.
After some consideration, she decided to put on the disguise of Ryleth once again.
