In the eyes of these pirates, Tesoro seemed to be glowing.
What a wonderful man!
Buy one, and he threw in three more!
What a bargain!
They had to buy it, whatever it took!
At that moment, the pirates felt incredibly fortunate.
They also felt a strong sense of superiority.
Thank goodness they had come.
They had known all along that opportunities had to be fought for.
Those cowards had been so suspicious, saying something was wrong with this auction.
Ha! Wrong, my ass!
Go ahead and regret it!
An opportunity like this would never come again!
"Quick, stop shouting! Let Tesoro get started!"
Someone among the pirates shouted.
Those around him frowned.
Who gave you the right to order us around?
Who the fuck did you think you were, huh?
Still, they all knew Tesoro was the one who mattered right now.
So they silently committed the speaker's face to memory, then shut their mouths.
Tesoro cleared his throat and swept a pitying gaze over the pirates below.
Then he said:
"Yes, you heard that right.
Not one, not two, and certainly not three.
But four whole stones!
Win this auction, and all four Road Poneglyphs will be within your grasp!
Of course, the information about Zou was a gift for attending this auction.
As for the whereabouts of the other two...
Whoever wins this red stone will get that information from me!"
At his words, the pirates went wild again.
They felt utterly frustrated.
Originally, they had planned to seize it by force.
But with this twist, didn't that mean they could only buy it?
Damn that Tesoro!
He was way too fucking good at doing business!
He was even bundling his merchandise!
What a goddamn crooked merchant!
For a moment, the pirates suddenly lost all their strength.
