Slave Auction (II)
Last time, Aokiji let them go because he had a connection with Aokiji 'Luffy grandfather. This time, the Admiral comes might not be Aokiji. And even if it is Aokiji, he might not let them go this time.
Because this time they've offended Celestial Dragons! Even Aokiji wouldn't dare to openly let them off the hook in front of Celestial Dragons.
So she was conflicted and didn't know what to do!
"Hehe, it seems you haven't made a decision yet. Alright, I'll wait. Call your captain here as soon as possible! I believe he will make a good decision." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said no more.
This is a matter for the Straw Hat Pirates, and he doesn't want to interfere too much. Of course, what he mainly hopes for is that the Straw Hat Pirates will muster their courage and confront the Celestial Dragons. If they have that courage, then they will have nothing to fear.
After saying that, Fanxin stopped talking nonsense. He pulled Ren Fang along and headed towards the auction hall. He was ready to watch a good show there. He thought it would be very entertaining.
He pulled Ren Fang along for a few minutes, when suddenly he noticed something. Looking to his right, he spotted a rising star of the pirate world.
He had seen this year's rising pirates, and this man was quite high up among them. His bounty was a whopping 200 million, more than 100 million higher than his. Although he didn't particularly care about bounties, the fact that this guy had such a high bounty meant that he was quite strong.
This man's name is Trafalgar Law, a pirate from the North Blue. He founded the Heart Pirates and became their captain.
He wore a fluffy winter hat with leopard spots, had distinctive dark circles under his eyes, and two small gold earrings on each ear.
He had a beard and wore a casual long-sleeved shirt with a hood.
His trousers were light blue with a polka dot pattern. The black sleeves and hat were paired with a pinkish-orange shirt with a large, distinctive smiley face tattooed on the chest. He also had similar black tattoos on the backs of his hands and elbows, as well as large heart-shaped tattoos on his chest and shoulders.
Fanxin took special care of the other party not because of the high bounty, but because of the other party's abilities.
Law is Devil Fruit User, though he has never met him. However, he has heard about it from the Blood King. The reason the Blood King has lived so long is because of the Op-Op Fruit.
He manipulated the Devil Fruit User, using ultimate power on him to grant him immortality. Otherwise, the Blood King would have died long ago.
Because the Blood King was alive, he suffered a great loss at his hands. He still vividly remembers that painful experience. Therefore, when he heard that Devil Fruit User had appeared, he made a point of keeping an eye on him.
"Come on, let's sit here," Fanxin said with a chuckle to Ren Fang.
"Luo, Devil Fruit User?" Ren Fang chuckled and said, "You're not planning something, are you!"
"Ah, this ability is great. If I could obtain it, I would possess extraordinary surgical skills." Fanxin Xin chuckled and said, "If my companions are injured, as long as they're not dead, I can pull them back from the brink of death."
"However, he's Supernovas too. Getting him to submit won't be easy," Ren Fang said.
Being called Supernovas speaks volumes about their extraordinary strength. While Fanxin has become more powerful, these guys are no pushovers either!
"Of course, I will seduce you step by step," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.
He planned to devour a portion of the other person's soul to gain surgical abilities, thus acquiring surgical powers. Although these abilities wouldn't compare to Law's, having gained them would provide protection for his companions.
Without further hesitation, Fanxin pulled Ren Fang to Luo's side. Then, without asking her any questions, he sat down directly.
Law occupied a whole row of seats, and since everyone knew he was a pirate, no one dared to sit there.
Others dared not sit there, but Fanxin was not afraid. He sat next to Luo without any hesitation.
Luo was surrounded by his crew, and seeing Fanxin's unbridled behavior, they were immediately dissatisfied and began to criticize Fanxin.
However, Fanxin ignored him and looked at Luo, saying, "I heard you're very skilled in surgery, is that right?"
"Yes, you're Fanxin, the captain of the Heavenly Soul Pirates, right?" Luo looked at Fanxin and said.
"You know me? My bounty isn't as high as yours!"
Fanxin was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. He thought Luo would only remember those with high bounties, since having such high bounties meant they were capable.
With such a low bounty, it's unlikely to catch his eye.
However, the fact that the other party remembered it so clearly puzzled him.
"Hmph, I keep an eye on every pirate. Some of them might be potential threats. Even if their bounties aren't high, it doesn't necessarily mean they're weak!" Law chuckled and said, "Take you for example, I can't see through you."
"Oh, so you mean I'm very strong, right?" Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.
"I don't know, but it definitely won't be weaker," Luo said.
"How can you be so sure?" Fanxin asked.
"I heard a rumor that a year ago, you supposedly destroyed Garp's ship! No one could have done that without skill. So, I bet you're incredibly strong," Law said. "However, I don't know exactly how strong you are."
"Hmph, you've got quite the analytical and judgment skills," Fanxin said. "That was just luck. A sudden storm hit that day, making Garp's ship unstable, and I took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Under normal circumstances, I would never have succeeded."
What he said was true. If it were a sunny day, he would never dare to go after Garp. Because Garp was too strong, and at that time, he was too weak.
His attempt to ambush Garp in broad daylight was tantamount to suicide.
However, he is no longer afraid, because his strength has increased, and he can now escape from Garp's pursuit. Therefore, if he were to see Garp's ship now, he would not hesitate to rush up and destroy it.
"That takes skill too! Back then, who else would have dared to do that!" Luo laughed.
"Perhaps!" Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.
"You came all this way just to talk to me, didn't you?" Luo asked.
"No. I'm here to discuss something with you," Fanxin said.
"What's wrong?" Luo asked curiously.
"I want to make a deal with you. You give me some things, and I'll give you some things in return, how about it?" Fanxin said. He wanted the other person's soul. Fighting him wasn't a good idea, because he wasn't sure of the other person's strength. And even if he won, if the other person insisted on refusing and threatened to kill himself, he wouldn't get what he wanted.
Therefore, he decided to make a deal with the other party, which was the most reliable option.
"Oh, what do you want?" Luo asked, his brows furrowing slightly.
"A part of your soul," Fanxin said without reservation.
"Soul?" Upon hearing this, Luo frowned even more deeply, seemingly not quite understanding the meaning of "Fanxin."
"That's right, you may not know what a soul is. However, for us Soul Clan, it is a very real thing." Fanxin nodded and said, "Don't worry, give me a part of your soul, and I will replenish it for you. You will be fine."
"No, I don't know you yet. I don't want to make a deal with you for now," Luo shook his head and said. Although he had heard of souls, he wasn't particularly clear about them. He was a cautious person, and he wouldn't make a decision lightly before understanding the ins and outs of the matter.
"Oh, okay then, I have time to wait," Fanxin nodded and said.
He won't be going to sea for the time being, so he's not in a hurry to get the Op-Op Fruit. Of course, even if he doesn't get the Op-Op Fruit, he's not worried about anything, because he still has Senior Li Kecheng with him.
His medical skills are superb; with him in charge, the crew shouldn't suffer heavy losses.
Luo smiled but didn't say anything more.
Fanxin didn't say anything more. He had come here to discuss a deal with Luo. Now that he had spoken, Luo didn't seem interested. So, he had no choice but to give up for the time being.
However, he believed that he would get what he wanted in the future. He wasn't worried about it.
The auction is in full swing, and many people are being auctioned off, including singers, pirates, and boxers.
The reason they didn't dare to resist was because of the collars around their necks! Those things threatened their lives, so they dared not act recklessly. If they didn't have those collars around their necks, they would have already tried to escape.
The scene was incredibly lively, with wealthy people vying to bid, as if the person wasn't a living being, but rather a real commodity.
Fanxin looked at these people with utter disgust. Their hearts were ugly, even though they were very rich. They had long lost their humanity.
"Damn it, these are all bastards!" Fanxin shouted in annoyance.
"Should we teach them a lesson later?" Ren Fang asked.
She was also very annoyed with those bastards; their minds were full of filth, a manifestation of the ugliness of human nature. If she had the chance, she would not hesitate to stomp on their faces a few times.
"No need, I don't want to lay a hand on ordinary people." Fanxin shook his head. Although he hated these bastards, they were still just ordinary people after all! So, he decided it was better not to make a move.
"Oh, is that so? That's too easy on them," Ren Fang said unhappily.
