Number One Peninsula, human auction house;
Many nobles from various countries had gathered here. Everyone who came was wealthy: noblewomen, young ladies, and high-ranking officials. They had only one purpose—to choose slaves they liked. Slaves were useful things; once bought, they could be beaten or killed at will, and no wages needed to be paid;
"Thank you all for waiting! The monthly grand human auction on Number One Peninsula is about to begin! Your host for this auction is none other than the man known as the 'Walking Night Market,' MR. Disco!!"
"Today, I have also prepared slaves of exceptional quality for everyone. You are all very fortunate, because we have a super, super, super-hot item! It is practically legendary—something I'm sure none of you could possibly imagine. I sincerely hope everyone will be able to buy a slave to their liking." MR. Disco said;
"Now, let the bidding begin! Slave Number One is a pirate from the South Blue..."
The auction began with pirates, and quite a few people started placing bids. The bidding continued until, just as the deal was about to be completed, one person could no longer endure it and bit off his tongue to commit suicide, ruining the atmosphere Disco had just worked so hard to heat up;
"Bring out today's main attraction first!" MR. Disco hurriedly shouted. Before long, Chen Fan and the Devil Fruit were brought out together. Chen Fan's body was tied to a pillar to keep him from falling over;
"Everyone, today's main attraction is not just a slave. This time, they are being sold as a package: a legendary Devil Fruit, along with a man with flawless proportions and a perfect face." MR. Disco pulled away the cloth covering Chen Fan and the Devil Fruit.
"Ah! Saint Roswald, Charlos, welcome!
