Bringing a Little Shock to This World

The Donquixote Family members were killed.

The mysterious person who stole the Devil Fruit has already escaped by boat.

It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the Lawless Area. After all, Dellinger's death occurred near the port, and judging from the routes of investigation, the mysterious man seemed to be planning to flee the area as soon as he got his hands on the Devil Fruit.

But unexpectedly, he met Dellinger before he left.

Logically speaking, escaping is the best decision; the longer one stays on the island, the greater the danger.

Moreover, rumors have spread that Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is already on his way...

After parting ways with Dom, Oboro did not return to the inn. Instead, he changed his clothes and sat on a bustling street, watching the One Piece hurrying by.

This is also the advantage of the Lawless Area; it's extremely chaotic... an area that even the navy can't control. No matter how great the Donquixote Family's reputation is or how many people they have, they can't penetrate every corner in an all-round way.

From conversations among passersby, it was learned that Trebol and Lao G had located Dellinger's body based on the 'signature on the Vivre Card' and had most likely already reported the situation to the Joker.

"Although I can't be sure, most people now believe that I have already escaped... Tomorrow is the day of the slave auction, Doflamingo will definitely arrive before the auction. But... will you prioritize serving the Celestial Dragons, or will you look for me first to avenge your family?" Oboro murmured softly, biting the straw of a glass of juice.

Based on his understanding of Doflamingo, it was undoubtedly the second one.

The latter must be in a state of anger and embarrassment.

While the opportunity to align himself with the Celestial Dragons may not be immediate, Joker still values his 'familiar beliefs' quite a bit.

In particular, this incident dealt a heavy blow to their family's reputation.

In essence, Doflamingo is still a businessman.

After finishing his juice, Oboro placed a few Beli on the table, then got up and left, dressed like a Mafia.

He put on his familiar suit again.

This entire street is lined with various pubs, the main places for One Piece to relax... but only this one sells juice, specifically for ladies and children.

"Next... is your turn."

Oboro stood with his hands in his pockets, muttering to himself.

The face of the Celestial Dragons Saint Charlos appeared in his mind.

This guy will definitely go to the auction house.

But killing him probably won't be that easy... What Oboro is more concerned about is that the world's will might cause trouble.

After all, normally, admirals wouldn't closely follow Celestial Dragons; they would only be present when Celestial Dragons was in trouble, carrying out an important operation, or attending a grand occasion. For example, Celestial Dragons often travel to Four Blues countries under the guise of patrols... but when he transmigrated, Kizaru was right beside him.

This means that, due to the subtle manipulation of the world's will, it is highly likely that a general will also appear at the auction.

In this way, he basically has no chance of making a move.

Even whether they can escape again is a question.

But nothing is absolute. Oboro wanted to wait and see. If the general was really there... he would leave immediately.

Another point is, how to escape after killing the Celestial Dragons.

Although Dom was tasked with locating merchant ships beforehand, the World Government is highly likely to blockade all ports, utilizing not only naval forces. In that case, not even a fly would be able to escape. Even without killing Saint Charlos, there is still a risk of exposure. Some merchants and cargo ships have their own backgrounds... The Donquixote Family's power alone cannot cover all ships, and they will inevitably find one or two that slip through the net.

But if the World Government intervenes, that's a different story.

"We must bring a little shock to the world."

Various thoughts intertwined in the dimly lit path.

Various forces not only operated in Lawless Area, but also searched the entire Sabaody Archipelago, yet they found no trace or clues about the mysterious person.

In the end, everyone believed that the mysterious man had escaped.

The following day, the entrance to the auction house was still bustling with people.

Unlike yesterday, only a small portion of the guests were One Piece; the majority were various celebrities and nobles... their attire and appearance were quite conspicuous. These people came from all corners of the sea; some were royalty from certain countries, while many others were businessmen or bosses involved in human trafficking.

This also shows that auctions cater to different demographics.

If One Piece come, it's just for fun.

Even after what happened yesterday, the auction house's inspection today was still very lax and not strict at all... Firstly, because these guests are of different statuses and it's not easy to offend them; secondly, it also shows Doflamingo's confidence; and naturally, there's also a bit of the hype factor that 'the culprit has escaped'.

Long combed her hair back, took off her mask, and made a tattoo with dye. With these slight changes to her appearance, she went in without being recognized.

He found a seat and sat down.

Looking around, and amplifying his five senses, he sensed some powerful auras hidden in the shadows, but nothing particularly striking.

Doflamingo isn't here! However, the other members of the Donquixote Family are!

Before the auction began, Oboro spotted two familiar figures: Diamante, a high-ranking official, and the diamonds from the flower cards.

There's also Gladius, whose hairstyle is particularly exaggerated.

These two, along with Lao G and Trebol, make a total of four, each holding different positions both in front of and behind the scenes.

Although the theft of the Devil Fruit and the death of Dellinger seem to have little impact on the Donquixote Family, they have still raised some concerns.

"Joker and the other family members are not here... He's probably shuttling between various ports, reviewing yesterday's departure list." Oboro understood.

Even though he and Dom had already left the Sabaody Archipelago yesterday, Doflamingo's speed was enough to find them from among the suspected targets in a short time.

In other words, the Joker is busy searching for him outside.

Just as Long thought.

"However, with his intelligence, he should realize it quickly... it's a smokescreen, hehe."

"It all depends on whether you make it in time."

A slight smile played on her lips.

Soon, today's slave auction began.

The process was the same as yesterday, and the host was still Disco.

The latter, as usual, passionately expounded on the 'value of the product' on stage.

In the audience, wealthy people were bidding against each other.

Unlike yesterday, most of the bidders today were individuals, rather than a particular group of people.

Slavery is not a hobby unique to the Celestial Dragons in the world of One Piece.

At the same time, Oboro also discovered that some One Piece were not just there for the fun; some were there specifically for special slaves. Some rare races or wanted criminals had fallen into Doflamingo's hands because these people had a certain level of strength or certain specific methods, and could be used as combat members to supplement the ship's immediate fighting force, which is why they attracted such capital.

However, the items that fetched higher prices at auctions were mostly beautiful women or young children, and the same was true for men.

What determines the price is often not the product's quality, but rather its condition.

Furthermore, the slave auctions are held in multiple sessions, unlike yesterday's which was much longer, with the next session starting after almost three or four batches of slaves.

The auctions were divided into several rounds based on the different characteristics of the slaves.

This resulted in a huge turnover of attendees at the event. Some merchants would buy their desired slaves and leave immediately, only for another group of customers to enter.

Everyone was very goal-oriented and didn't want to waste time.

Oboro remained seated.

As time passed, Oboro gradually noticed that the once crowded venue was becoming sparsely populated.

He realized that the main event of the day was about to begin.

The most valuable batch of slaves is about to appear, and the price of these slaves is beyond the reach of ordinary people... Furthermore, it also indicates that the Celestial Dragons are about to arrive. Those who dare to stay are either very bold or have confidence... They are not afraid of being troubled or targeted by the Celestial Dragons.

There are also those who aren't afraid of death...

For One Piece and underground forces, they are already wanted or targeted by the World Government, so... even if they come into contact with Celestial Dragons, as long as they don't take action, don't harm them, and don't make a big fuss, they can get away... anyway, their lives were never exactly honorable to begin with.

Those Celestial Dragons even more are actually some royalty or powerful individuals who rely on the World Government.

From the perspective of an outlaw, a little more trouble is fine, as long as it's not fatal.

Therefore, when the Celestial Dragons appear, there's no need to clear the area; those without the 'strength' will simply leave on their own.

The empty hall was filled with only a few dozen people, who looked quite disoriented as they sized each other up.

A moment later, the sound of orderly footsteps and noise could be heard outside the venue.

It's the navy! Not many people.

They're not here to arrest anyone; they're just escorting the Celestial Dragons here.

The main character... has arrived!
