Chapter 70
I still don't have any drafts saved up, so I'm planning to stay up all night and try to write a few more chapters! I hope you'll all support me when I do!
The subscriptions from our valued readers will determine how far this book can go.
Therefore, I earnestly request everyone's support and subscription once again. Thank you so much!
Of course, automatic subscription would be even better!
Finally, let's talk about the conditions for extra chapters, this time it's for real!
The previous bonus chapter rule was [3000 Qidian Coins] and [100 Monthly Tickets], which is the culprit behind the author owing so many chapters!
After careful consideration, it has been decided that the original conditions for additional chapters will remain unchanged...
[Constant]!
Although many readers have advised me to change the conditions for extra chapters, after careful consideration, I have decided not to change them, as this is one of the promises I made in the first place.
In addition, there will be extra chapters based on subscription performance.
The book currently has around 25,000 favorites. I asked the editor, Nai Peng, about the follow-up reading data on Monday, and it was 2,500 at that time.
The author still harbors a tiny bit of ambition...
Therefore, based on 2000 initial subscriptions, one more chapter will be added for every 100 additional initial subscriptions!
Furthermore, for every 100 daily subscriptions after the book is published, one extra chapter will be added! This offer is valid indefinitely!
In other words...
If the initial subscription score is 2500, then it's the excess of [500] + the accumulated [2500], and there's a total shortfall of 30 chapters.
Of course, this is just a small ambition...
After it's published, I will continue to update at a rate of at least three chapters per day.

Sabaody Archipelago, also known as the Soap-Bubble Archipelago.
This is the final stop of the Paradise Phase of the first half of the Grand Line. The seven routes that start from Reverse Mountain will eventually converge on this tree island.
After leaving Water 7 and continuing his voyage at sea for some time, the Sabaody Archipelago came into view of Adrian.
Gazing at the beautiful, dreamlike bubble island not far ahead, which seemed to be in a fairy tale world, Adrian...

Sabaody Archipelago is the outpost of Paradise to the New World. Pirates from all routes converge here, the Marines dispatched by headquarters are stationed here, and Merchant from all over the world who are chasing money and profit all gather on this world-famous Bubble Island.
At the same time, this is also a rare area where the Celestial Dragons and foolish nobles [Celestial Dragons] go out to play!
Without a doubt, the Sabaody Archipelago is one of the most prosperous regions on this ocean!

[Chapter 134. Celestial Dragons (Please Subscribe)]
The Celestial Dragons are descendants of the 20 kings who established a new World Government 800 years ago. They habitually consider themselves "descendants of the Creator" and their daily activities take place in Holy Land Mary Geoise atop the Red Line.
The Celestial Dragons enjoy all privileges, whether permitted or prohibited by law. To them, the law is nothing more than a piece of paper to be torn at will, or even less than that!
Because the Sabaody Archipelago is adjacent to Mary Geoise and Marineford, many Celestial Dragons often visit the Sabaody Archipelago under the guise of "going to the lower realms."
Adrian never expected that he would encounter Celestial Dragons, whom ordinary Pirates would avoid like the plague, as soon as he landed on the Sabaody Archipelago!
However, this wasn't the first time he had encountered Celestial Dragons.
Back on Sreid Island in the North Sea, Adrian even beat up that Don Quixote who had fallen to earth, a perfect example of reasoning with him, the reasoning of physics!
The Sabaody Archipelago is not Stride Island.
Celestial Dragons here will be dealt with on the spot at best, and at worst, they will be jointly attacked by the Marine Headquarters Admiral and the CP0 department, leading a large number of soldiers!
Therefore, even the most audacious Pirates rarely do anything to offend the Celestial Dragons.
Just then, the Celestial Dragons wearing sunglasses spoke up impatiently again, "Hey, you fatso, if you can't speak properly, then find someone else to host this!"
After speaking, without waiting for the auctioneer's reaction, the Celestial Dragons directly pulled out a pistol made of gold from a small table next to him and fired it decisively without hesitation.
Bang!
The Brass Bullet struck the auctioneer directly in the abdomen. The powerful impact caused him to involuntarily take a slight step back. Blood gushed from the area hit, staining the surrounding clothes red.
Thump!
The auctioneer who was shot was quite clever; he pretended to have been shot dead and fell backward to the ground.
His massive body slammed heavily onto the auction stage with a deafening thud.
The auctioneer initially thought he could escape unscathed, but the Celestial Dragons' thought processes are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
"Untouchables! Untouchables!"
The Celestial Dragons sunglasses pointed at the auctioneer on stage and angrily began to curse.
"You were killed so easily?"
"And you actually dared to fall to the ground so loudly, it really startled me!"
"You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"
Bang bang bang!!!
The sunglasses-wearing Celestial Dragons fired several more shots at the auctioneer on stage, who was pretending to be lying down, killing him instantly.
A thick pool of blood flowed from beneath the fat auctioneer's body, leaving a rather glaring crimson stain on the stage.
After emptying all the bullets from the golden pistol, the sunglasses- Celestial Dragons still seemed unsatisfied and continued to curse.
The Sofia Auction House fell into a deathly silence. Apart from the Celestial Dragons' insults, everyone else was so quiet that they could hear their own heartbeats.
A short while later, staff from the Sofia Auction House came out and removed the body of the fat auctioneer, who had not yet presided over the auction, replacing him with a small, pale-faced man whose legs were trembling.
"Saint Rosward," the short man forced an extremely ugly smile, and asked the Celestial Dragons below the stands with utmost humility, "Do you wish to see the final, most anticipated item directly, or would you like the auction to continue?"
Perhaps because he had just killed someone he didn't like, Saint Rosward's mood had improved considerably, and he waved his hand very generously.
"Let's just do it the usual way!"
However, the disrupted atmosphere inside the auction house was not so easy to reverse.
The first few items went unsold and failed to sell.
It wasn't until half an hour later that people slowly started raising their paddles to bid, but even then, the number was pitifully small.
"The next item is a human slave."
The short, stocky presenter read the auction item information in his hands in a dry, monotone voice. It was obvious that he was just an unlucky guy who had been randomly pushed onto the stage and had absolutely no idea how to engage the customers.
After briefly explaining the auction items, the short presenter gestured directly to the backstage area.
A moment later, several guards wearing steel helmets escorted a tall, burly middle-aged man with his hands and feet bound and a slave collar around his neck forward.
There was a slight commotion in the audience.
Adrian frowned slightly; this slave wasn't on the original auction list at all, clearly added by the auction house at the last minute.
It's obvious that these "auction items" are entirely designed to cater to Saint Rosward's personal preferences!
Adrian focused his attention on the burly slave man on the stage.
Although the middle-aged man seemed to still retain some strength, his eyes were completely dull and devoid of any light.
Moreover, whenever a guard tries to approach, his body will subconsciously tremble slightly and he will take a step back. This is a conditioned reflex that develops after long-term Execution and abuse.
Upon seeing this, Adrian couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
He had spent several years sailing the seas and had encountered slaves on numerous occasions.
At first, Adrian kindly freed some innocent Commoner slaves, but later he discovered that some of them did not have the value of being saved.
Just like the burly slave man on the stage right now.
The long period of slavery had completely destroyed the man's spirit and will; at this point, he didn't even have the courage to end his own life.
Even if we forcibly rescued him, it would be pointless.
Because of the previous auction items, the atmosphere in the room had eased considerably. After this slave, who was of decent quality, appeared, the atmosphere in the room finally warmed up again.
"Eight million Beli"
Nine million six hundred thousand Beli!
As wealthy individuals raised their paddles to bid...
A lazy voice came from the front row, "One hundred million Beli."
The room fell silent once again.
What truly deterred many people, besides the exorbitant price, was the identity of the person who submitted the bid!
That's right, it was Saint Rosward who made the offer.
"No, thank you so much Saint Rosward, for your generosity!" the short speaker stammered. "Now, let's move on to the final, climactic part."
"This is a Mink Tribe Boa Sandersonia from the New World's Mokomo Dukedom, a very rare Arctic Fox Mink Tribe. Starting bid: 80 million Beli."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Saint Rosward made a direct offer, "Three hundred million!"
"Excuse me, just kidding. Three hundred and eighty-one million Beli."
Adrian raised his sign.
[135. Chapter 127 [The God's Slumber] & [The Empty Throne]]
Upon hearing that someone dared to bid against him in the auction, Saint Rosward was momentarily stunned, as if he could hardly believe what he was hearing.
The next moment, Saint Rosward stood up and looked in the direction from which the voice came. His stupid yet domineering eyes immediately locked onto Adrian.
"Who are you? How dare you make a bid?"
Under Saint Rosward's disgruntled questioning, almost all the guests instinctively held their breath, and the atmosphere in the Sofia Auction House suddenly became tense.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Adrian rose and calmly replied, "This is an auction house. Is there any auction house that prohibits customers from bidding?"
He actually answered!
He actually responded directly to the Celestial Dragons' dissatisfaction!
Offending Celestial Dragons is an unforgivable crime punishable by death, and he actually dared to—
Faint groans of disbelief and gasps of shock echoed from every corner of the Sofia Auction House.
The short speaker on stage was terrified, his face turning pale, but he managed to stay upright and didn't dare make a sound, for fear of following in his predecessor's footsteps.
Upon hearing Adrian's words, Saint Rosward was stunned.
At first glance, he actually felt that what the other person said seemed to make a lot of sense.
But in the next second, Saint Rosward realized the problem.
How dare anyone say such a thing!
How dare someone say such things in front of the Celestial Dragons!
An overwhelming surge of anger instantly distorted Saint Rosward's ugly face. He angrily reached for the golden pistol on the small table and pointed it directly at Adrian.
The violently shaking muzzle of the gun caused many people to duck and take cover.
"You bastard! You scoundrel!!"
Saint Rosward was so angry that he trembled all over and his speech became somewhat incoherent.
"How dare you speak to me like that?! I'll kill you!!"
Tap tap!
Saint Rosward fired directly, but only a few empty shots rang out. The bullets in the golden pistol had already been emptied when he killed the unknown fat auctioneer earlier.
