Pirate Alliance

"I heard that the auction at the end of the year will be the largest in recent years. I really want to see it with my own eyes... There must be many strange treasures coming out at that time, right?" A young man sitting by the table said Said in a somewhat envious tone.

"Stop daydreaming. Little people like us don't even have the qualifications to get started." The slightly older man sitting opposite him interrupted the young man's fantasy.

"Eligibility? Does the auction in the underground world still need an invitation letter?"

"Invitation?" The elder said disdainfully. He was blaming the young man for his naivety. "You don't need such useless pieces of paper to enter the venue. What you need is a 'guarantee deposit', the real Bailey!"

"If you want to qualify to enter the auction, you have to pay a huge sum of money from the beginning."

Only Bailey can knock on the door of the auction. Of course, those who have no money will be turned away. As for whose credit to trust and then send out invitations... Ha ha.

The underground auction is of course more naked about money.

Such a response made the young man quiet for a while, but he thought he took a step back and asked, "Even if you can take a look at the catalog of the auction items..."

This is a curious little brother who needs to increase his knowledge.

"That's impossible. All the auction items can only be known on the spot, but... It's not that no news has spread out. What can be confirmed now is that one of the finale auction items is a devil fruit."

"Devil Fruit?"

"Well, although I don't know the specific situation, there are rumors that the Vladimir family is bound to win it. It must be something very unusual, right?"

"Vladimir..." The title of this great nobleman made the young man feel afraid, and he cringed a little.

Such a change in the eyes made the elders frown, and no one would be satisfied with the young man who was full of curiosity but had such a timid personality.

At this time, the three people at the table next to them got up from their seats and walked towards the door. However, when these three people passed by them, one of them suddenly said, "My friend, it's better not to be too curious about that kind of thing. Even if you have the opportunity to enter the auction house... it is recommended to stay at home honestly, pirate No one among them wants to pay for what they fancy, let alone pay a high price."

This kind of auction will turn into a robbery at any time, which will lead to large-scale fighting, bloodshed and death, so if you don't work hard to restrain your curiosity, you will really die.

The elder looked up at the three people. The one in front was a young man with red hair and a very friendly smile. The two behind him were covered in cloaks. One was slender and the other was short and strong. , and the short and stout one is carrying something like a coffin board on his back... People dressed in this way move in groups, even if the young people in front smile kindly, the elders will not think they are good people.

The elder quickly lowered his head, as if seeing the other person's face would bring some bad luck, then he turned his head and shouted at the bar: "Manager, add a glass of beer!"

Then he lowered his head and looked at the three of them out of the corner of his eyes, and he was relieved when he found that the other party had already left.

This is an ordinary tavern in a city called Perth, and in a place like this one had better not make chatter, let alone meddle, if you don't want to be involved in anything.

the other side.

"The work of intelligence gathering... that's basically it. Next, we're going to get the 'tickets' for the auction."

The three of them just now are naturally Qiu Bai's trio.

They have already arrived in this city, and spent four or five days in a row in taverns of various sizes to collect information... Without a more efficient way,

They can only collect what they want little by little from this place where news circulates quickly.

After running around for several days, Qiu Bai summed up two pieces of information. First, money is needed to enter the auction, and second, the island's great aristocrat "Vladimir" is bound to win the fruit of childlike fun.

And after Qiubai learned about this nobleman's situation, he felt that this statement was reliable. The other party wanted money, strength, strength, and the desire to win, so he thought there was at least an 80% possibility The fruit of childlike fun will fall into the hands of Vladimir.

Of course, this kind of thinking is more emotional, but it is undeniable that sometimes local snakes are the scariest.

But no matter what, they still need to go to the auction venue. As for the issue of funding... Qiu Bai is going to start his old business again.

"Understood, but...will it be too conspicuous if you take out such a thing?" Ain said with some concerns.

It's more than conspicuous, it's simply dazzling.

"It doesn't matter, things need to be more conspicuous to disturb the scene." Qiu Bai covered his head with his cloak as he spoke.

Peibo couldn't get in the way of this kind of thing, he could only obediently follow behind them as a porter.

The place where the auction entry funds are paid is secret but not mysterious. In fact, it is not difficult to find out. Qiu Bai marked this kind of place on the first day, so they found it very quickly.

This is a very inconspicuous store hidden on the corner of the street, and to enter it, there is only a small door on the back of the street, and no one is controlling the door, so the three of them just plunged in.

…………

"The entry fee is 20 million Baileys."

After confirmation and waiting for a certain period of time, it was finally Qiu Bai's turn.

At this time, the person in charge of the entry fund payment asked neither the origin nor the identity, and directly demanded a huge amount of 20 million Pele.

Qiubai's face was hidden under the cloak, and then he let out a hoarse and weird laugh, "Cash...we don't have any, but I heard that we can offset it with auction items..."

It doesn't matter if you hide your head and show your tail, because everyone who comes here is like this, but Qiu Bai's words made the person in charge frowned, and began to look him over and over again.

There is indeed such a rule, but these days the person in charge has encountered too many so-called "auction items" that are fake, and those rags have no response value that can be used as admission.

"We need to verify."

But the person in charge didn't show an overly bored expression. After all, his job is to be responsible for this aspect. He doesn't want to be disqualified in his position. He can't bear the consequences... This is not being responsible for the guests. Instead, he is responsible for his own master.

"Here?" Qiu Bai asked in that voice again.

"certainly."

After getting an affirmative answer, Qiu Bai gestured towards Peibo.

The latter understood, and directly removed the "coffin board" on his back. After placing it on the ground, he stretched out his furry paws to unlock the lock on it, and then opened it directly, revealing the contents inside.

Then, the person in charge's attention was directly shifted from the pair of weird claws to the things in the wooden box.

"This, this is..."

This is a heavy weapon with extraordinary specifications, and it is probably the most famous cold weapon in the world. The pitch-black blade has an attractive attraction that people can't help but pay attention to, no matter whether the spectator is a swordsman or not.

"The strongest black sword in the world, one of the 12 supreme swords, the 'Black Sword Night' with a chaotic blade and heavy T-shaped letters, the world's number one swordsman, Joracle Mihawk's..."

"Bring your things and follow me right away!" The person in charge didn't wait for Qiu Bai to finish speaking, and rushed to Pei Bo's eyes like burning his butt, and closed the box.

There are many swordsmen among the idlers present, even if they are not swordsmen, anyone who hangs around in the sea should at least have heard of the name "Mihawk". The person in charge glanced around at the people present with a sharp gaze, and then urged, "Hurry up."

Peibo picked up the black knife again, and then the three of them followed behind each other and walked further into the building.

"Let me say something first, if the thing is fake..." the person in charge said as he walked.

"Of course it's genuine." Before the other party finished speaking, Qiu Bai said very firmly.

"Could it be that the three of you took Mihawk..." The person in charge didn't bother about the authenticity, it was something that could be verified quickly, and he subconsciously thought it was genuine at first glance.

But he needs to figure out the origin of this thing. So he made such a guess that he didn't even believe it.

"How is it possible." Qiubai immediately denied it, and it was a bit of a stretch to lie, saying that Mihawk fell into his hands...Who would believe it?

"We stole things from him... Stealing is the stunt of the three of us. I believe you will often hear the name of our 'Three Maoyan Brothers' in the near future."
