Alabasta: The Auction Item in Someone's Sights / Alabasta: The So-Called Underground Auction

The vendor Shopkeeper smiled evilly and continued, "Now this yellow Golden Apple is on sale. You can buy one for only one thousand Beli. How about buying two to eat with your children?"

"Child?" Red-Hair was stunned.

"Yes." Vendor Shopkeeper pointed at Lin Mo, "He came with you, isn't he your child?"

Red-Hair couldn't help laughing and said, "Pfft... Hahahaha, if only he was really my child, hahaha..."

Lin Mo: "..."

"Huh? Aren't you a father and son?" The vendor Shopkeeper scratched his head, then waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly, "Haha, it doesn't matter even if you are not a father and son. In short, just buy one each of you two. The price is absolutely worth it. I guarantee that you won't suffer any loss or be cheated!"

Chapter 73 Alabasta: The targeted auction item

The so-called yellow Golden Apple is just something that locals use to paint ordinary Apple with gold paint to deceive outsiders.

Only those who are single-minded or simply over-the-top will believe it.

But Red-Hair, a guy who has lived for nearly thirty years, also believed it...

But all Red-Hair's money had been dispersed by the previous Town. Now he is penniless and can't even afford a bottle of water.

"Lin Mo, lend me one thousand Beli." Red-Hair immediately sent a help signal to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo refused directly. "I won't borrow it."

"Huh? This is Huang Golden Apple." Red-Hair was a little disappointed, but still muttered without giving up, "One bite can live for a thousand years..."

Lin Mo continued walking forward speechlessly.

Red-Hair followed him helplessly.

The vendor selling Golden Apple, Shopkeeper, looked at the two people leaving speechlessly. "Um, have their identities been swapped... Why do you look at that child like an adult..."

When I was walking in the desert two days ago, from time to time, big guys hiding in the sand and not afraid of death would come out and attack them, so there was no need to worry about food.

Although there was a lot of food piled in Lin Mo's System Space, Red-Hair kept staring at him, and he couldn't take out the food directly in front of Red-Hair.

Therefore, the two of them ate the natural pure meat feast in the desert for two days in a row.

Now that we are in town, we naturally want to have a good meal.

Lin Mo randomly found a semi-tavern-style restaurant.

Ordered a table of dishes and two bottles of good wine.

Red-Hair sat down opposite him unceremoniously, clasped his hands together, and said with a smile, "Thank you for the hospitality, then I'll get started."

Lin Mo ignored him and started eating alone.

Red-Hair was not idle either, as if he hadn't eaten for several days, he was eating big mouthfuls of rice.

At this time, two timid men sitting at the next table gathered together and communicated quietly.

"Are you sure it's tonight?"

"Yes, I heard that you need a ticket to enter this auction. Hehe, I just happened to get two tickets."

"Hahaha, although I can't afford anything too expensive, it's nice to see what the so-called secret treasure of the sea looks like."

The two people's voices were very quiet, and were completely covered up by the noise made by other diners in the restaurant.

Despite this, Lin Mo and Red-Hair still heard it clearly.

"Lin Mo, the secret treasure of the sea they are talking about, should be referring to what I think?" Red-Hair stuffed food in his mouth, chewing and talking vaguely, without caring about the image at all.

Lin Mo remained silent and did not speak.

When the restaurant delivery person brought the last large portion of fried noodles ordered by their table, Lin Mo looked at the delivery person and asked, "What is this Town called?"

The delivery boy wondered, "This is Yuba. Don't you even know where you are?"

The delivery boy just finished speaking.

Red-Hair The food he just took into his mouth spurted out. "Pfft, hahaha, is this really Yuba?"

"Yes, yes." A drop of cold sweat rolled down the delivery boy's forehead.

Without saying anything more, he continued to work.

Red-Hair almost stopped laughing and turned over, "Ah hahaha, Lin Mo, don't you think this is too coincidental?"

Lin Mo continued eating the food speechlessly.

Yes, it is indeed quite a coincidence, just like it was arranged...

Is it possible that in this Town, there are progress tasks that he needs to complete?

If it does exist, it is most likely related to some underground auction.

Lin Mo is thinking about it.

Red-Hair suddenly said softly, "Since you are already here, why not drop by Underground Auction and have a look."

Lin Mo looked up at Red-Hair who looked expectant.

Without thinking much, he nodded and said, "Okay."

Red-Hair was stunned for a moment, then laughed and continued to eat.

To enter Underground Auction, you must first get a ticket.

Although with the abilities of Lin Mo and Red-Hair, it is not difficult to break in.

But doing this can easily cause unrest.

Then he will be the one in trouble...

Rather than causing unnecessary trouble, it is better to enter Auction according to the normal process and attract as little attention as possible.

So, when the two people at the next table were leaving after dinner.

Lin Mo directly took out a bag of Beli and threw it to Red-Hair, asking Red-Hair to deal with the admission tickets.

"Eh? Can't you come with me?" Red-Hair reflexively caught the money bag thrown by Lin Mo and said boringly, "It's just me, how boring it is."

Lin Mo said calmly, "It's okay if you don't go, then Auction won't go."

"Hey? You can't do this. You promised me just now..."

"How can I get in without a ticket?"

"So how about you work with me to find a way to get the tickets?"

"I'm not going."

"Why?"

"Trouble."

Red-Hair:"..."

Red-Hair put Straw Hat on his head and said helplessly, "Okay, but you can't sneak away without me knowing."

Lin Mo said speechlessly, "I know."

Red-Hair bared his teeth and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll go."

After finishing speaking, Red-Hair immediately stood up from the dining table and followed the direction the two people had just walked.

As for Lin Mo, after paying for the meal, he also left the restaurant and prepared to walk around alone.

Lin Mo stopped in front of a vendor selling snake wine.

He hasn't drunk snake wine yet.

Looking at several cobras soaked in a large transparent wine tank, Lin Mo was considering whether to buy a drink and try it.

A tall woman with long wavy grass-green hair, golden pupils, and a fat man with thick chains wrapped around his body, wearing a thick orange long coat even in a hot place like the desert, with the Pirate regiment logo on his teeth, walked past Lin Mo.

I sensed the aura of someone different from this Town.

Lin Mo turned around and looked.

Just looking at the backs of the two people, he recognized their identities.

They are Snow Woman Monet and Spin Man Buffalo.

They are both Donquixote Family's people and Doflamingo's subordinates.

Doflamingo, nicknamed Heavenly Yaksha, was born as Celestial Dragons. He is a guy who eats both black and white and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

Judging from the current point of time, Doflamingo should have just replaced Dressrosa as the king not long ago.

But his men appeared at Alabasta.

Obviously, they are here just for Devil Fruit, which will be auctioned tonight.

He actually got Doflamingo to target him.

It seems that the Devil Fruit in this auction has a great background.

"Kid, you've been staring here for so long, do you want to buy snake wine?" At this time, the wine vendor Shopkeeper suddenly spoke, breaking Lin Mo's thoughts.

Lin Mo came back to his senses, and his eyes fell on the large wine vat in front of him again. After thinking about it, he asked, "How much is it?"

"Two Beli for one cup and twenty Beli for one bottle. This snake wine is a good thing and a great supplement. Do you want to buy some for your adults to drink?" the wine seller Shopkeeper asked with a smile.

Lin Mo directly took out two Beli: "Have a drink first."

The wine seller Shopkeeper originally thought he was going to buy a bottle, but the smile on his face faded a little, so he took out a small paper cup, scooped half a spoonful of snake wine from the big wine vat, poured it into the paper cup, and handed it to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo drank it directly in front of the wine seller Shopkeeper.

"Huh? This wine is too tonic for a child like you. You can't drink it." Before the wine seller Shopkeeper could stop him, Lin Mo had already finished the drink.

This wine was a bit astringent and had a strong fishy smell. It was the most unpleasant wine he had ever tasted in Pirate world.

"Look, I told you a long time ago that you can't drink." One look at Lin Mo's expression and the wine vendor knew that this kid must not be used to drinking.

When Lin Mo was speechless and ready to leave, not far away, Red-Hair came towards him with two golden paper tickets and laughed.

After a moment of silence, Lin Mo turned to look at the wine seller Shopkeeper, took out twenty Beli, and chuckled, "Give me a bottle."

Chapter 74 Alabasta: The so-called Underground Auction

Of course good things should be shared with others.

Therefore, Lin Mo bought a bottle of snake wine and gave it to Red-Hair.

Red-Hair accepted it unceremoniously, and then gave one of the two Auction admission tickets he had just received to Lin Mo.

"I also found out the location of Auction. It starts in the evening. Before we start, we can walk around in this Town." Red-Hair said with a smile.

Lin Mo stopped thinking and continued to think, "You can do it yourself."

"Huh? Then where are you going?"

"Nap."

Red-Hair;"..."

Red-Hair laughed and said, "Hahaha, I can't believe that your kid actually has the habit of taking a nap."

Lin Mo said speechlessly, "No?"

"Yes, of course, but you can't take a nap for too long, it's not good for your health."

"I know..."

"Okay, then go ahead and I'll find you later."

"Okay." Lin Mo wished Red-Hair would stay away from him. After saying that, he found a direction and retreated.

Red-Hair curled up his lips, came to a brick house, leaned his back against the wall, took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket, and dialed a phone number.

Soon, Den Den Mushi was connected.

Beckman's voice came from it. "Is it the boss?"

Red-Hair raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Beckman, I am at Yuba now. Guess who I just saw."

Beckman was silent for a moment and asked, "Navy or Pirate?"

"Navy."
