Female Shipwright

Human trafficking is as commonplace as drinking water, openly and brazenly presented.

Of course, the largest group of people trafficked are beautiful women of all races.

They were either bought into slavery or used as tools for venting frustrations.

In short, just by looking at the lewd expressions on the faces of those bloated nobles who were bidding, you could tell what would become of these beautiful women.

Perhaps one day, we will see their naked corpses in the garbage dump!

Ye Liangnai originally had no interest in the auction; she was just there to join in the fun and watch the show.

But sometimes fate is just that wonderful and unpredictable.

When the product was presented and introduced, Ye Liangnai's eyes lit up.

"Attention everyone! This is a female shipwright from a medical nation on the Grand Line. Buying her will not only allow you to repair ships, but also satisfy other needs. She's truly a boon for all you male comrades!"

"Come on, make your bids! The starting price is two million Beli!"

The auctioneer was loudly introducing the items, his tone excited and enthusiastic, but—

"Tch, what use would I have for a woman like that? Hurry up and bring out the mermaid! We're here to see the mermaid, not some female boatwoman!"

"Exactly! There have been too many beautiful women before, we're not interested in this one at all. Hurry up, we want to see the mermaid!"

Few people in the room paid the bill; they weren't interested in the female boatwoman.

This made the auctioneer rub his nose in embarrassment, and he had no choice but to say again, "Is there anyone willing to bid? If you don't bid now, you'll miss out!"

But still no one spoke up.

Seeing this, the auctioneer had no choice but to give up.

But at that moment—

Two million and one Beli!

A calm voice rang out, causing the auctioneer to look over with delight.

"Oh, oh, oh, customer number 81 has made a bid: two million and one Beli! Any higher bids?"

The auctioneer looked around and raised his gavel. "Two million and one Beli, once!"

"Twice!"

"Yosh, deal! Congratulations to customer number 81 for purchasing this female shipwright for two million and one Beli!"

The auctioneer's cheerful voice rang out in the auction hall.

This also drew the attention of many people to Ye Liangnai, who were curious as to why he would buy a female boatman.

The ship foreman isn't handsome at all, he's not attractive at all. Could it be that he has some kind of special fetish?

"Alright, I'm sure you're all eager to see this, so let's unveil the last item. Everyone, get ready!"

As the auctioneer's voice rang out, a huge object covered with a cloth appeared before everyone.

"So, let's take a look at this last item..."

With that, he ripped off the cloth and shouted excitedly, "Keimi from Fish-Man Island!"

"Ooh ooh ooh!!"

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became incredibly enthusiastic.

And it was at this moment that Saint Charlos, the Celestial Dragons who was about to be brutally beaten by Luffy in the original work, made his appearance.

"Mermaid, I want you!"

His words immediately chilled the atmosphere, and everyone fell silent, the venue becoming completely quiet.

"Five hundred million! I'll offer five hundred million! Hurry up and give me that mermaid!"

Saint Charlos, seated in the front chair, stated the price directly.

But his words caused Nami, who had been quite confident, to shrink back in shock. The auction paddle in her hand fell limply to the ground.

Even Sanji, who was standing right next to her, couldn't help but grit his teeth, "Damn it!"

They prepared two hundred million to rescue Keimi, but in front of Saint Charlos, it all seemed so ridiculous.

"I thought I could settle this with money, but it seems that in the end I'll have to resort to force?"

Sanji gritted his teeth and said, but his words startled Hachi, who quickly tried to dissuade him. "Calm down, Sanji! The Celestial Dragons are here. We absolutely cannot get into a conflict with them, or we'll attract the attention of the Admirals!"

The auctioneer looked at Saint Charlos with a headache.

He bought it outright for 500 million, but that wasn't his estimated price. The mermaid could probably be sold for even more.

However, Saint Charlos had already spoken, how could he dare to disobey?

Just as he was about to say "deal," Ye Liangnai suddenly looked up at the roof of the auction house.

"Have they arrived?"

The next moment, the roof of the auction house exploded with a loud bang.

Then, the auction house erupted in chaos, with people falling to their sides and screaming in terror.

Then a young man wearing a straw hat complained, "What's wrong with you? Can't you just land properly?!"

Then, a man with short green hair, a bare chest, and three knives at his waist, scratched his head, looking troubled. "So, you called me up here? Even if we were just going back to the Thousand Sunny, there was no need to be in such a hurry..."

Then he seemed to realize something, looking at the auction house, "Where am I?"

Meanwhile, Nami and the others exclaimed, "Zoro, Luffy, you're finally here! Quick, save Keimi!"

That's right, the people making this dazzling appearance are none other than Roronoa Zoro and Monkey D. Luffy!

Luffy turned around and saw Keimi on the auction stage. He immediately shouted excitedly, "Keimi, I've finally found you! I'm coming to save you!!"

However, his actions were stopped by the Hachi.

If we clash with the Celestial Dragons and attract the attention of the Admirals, then we'll be in trouble.

However, this also exposed Hachi's identity as a fish-man, leading to a conflict with Saint Charlos.

Saint Charlos looked at Hachi as if he were a toy, and fired repeatedly at Hachi, knocking him to the ground!

"Hit! Knocked down! Hahaha, look how accurate my marksmanship is!"

Saint Charlos jumped for joy after knocking down Hachi!

"Looks like the real show is about to begin!"

Seeing Straw Hat Luffy towards Saint Charlos with a gloomy expression, Saint Charlos, who was clearly unaware of the approaching danger, was still jumping around and happily showing off. "I hit him! I defeated the fishman!" Ye Liangnai thought to herself.

"Hehe, witnessing this moment with my own eyes is a pretty good thing!"

He wore an expectant expression, waiting for the satisfying punch to land on Saint Charlos's fat face.

Hachi, once again grabbed Straw Hat Luffy's foot, telling him not to get into a conflict with the Celestial Dragons.

"Hateful..."

This made Straw Hat Luffy grit his teeth and struggle desperately.

"You stinky fishman, you've already been hit and you're still spouting so much nonsense, it's infuriating!"

Saint Charlos was annoyed that Hachi was still alive after being knocked down and was even giving Straw Hat Luffy a warning. He then fired several more shots at Hachi.

Hachi was immediately severely injured and released his grip on Straw Hat Luffy's foot, coughing up blood in pain!

The conflict has escalated again!
