The other auction participants felt a chill run down their spines at the sight of the old nobleman's tragic death.
Noah showed no wavering or pity, turning and walking toward the temporary storage room to the side of the auction stage.
Galdino, Kuro, and the others immediately understood Noah's meaning.
The merciless slaughter turned the entire auction house into Shura hell.
Push open the door to the storage room.
The men in black suits who were guarding the area were lying in pools of blood.
The five elite family members conducted an initial screening and registration of the slaves imprisoned here before handing them over to the Department of Supervision for review.
Although there were ordinary people and children among these slaves, there were also some vicious villains, and he would not allow villains to infiltrate the family.
For example, the reason why people like Kuro and Galdino were recruited was that they were both in the stage of minor evil.
Kuro only engaged in shady dealings in his hometown for a short period of time.
Galdino killing pirates as a bounty hunter certainly doesn't qualify as committing evil.
If it were Kuro, who became the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, or Galdino, who joined Baroque Works, Noah would definitely not recruit either of them, and might even kill them outright.
These are Noah's principles and bottom line.
No matter the reason for becoming a pirate, and whoever considers themselves a pirate, they will show no mercy.
After all, being wanted by the World Government doesn't necessarily mean you have to become a pirate. You can also become a resistance force or Revolutionary Army. That's not a reason to become a pirate.
In Noah's view, those who become pirates after being persecuted by the World Government are turning the World Government's persecution of them into their own persecution of ordinary people.
True strength lies in daring to challenge the stronger; those pirates who wield their swords against ordinary people are nothing but dregs of the sea.
Noah bypassed the rooms where slaves were held and went to the room where the auction items were stored.
The first room contained a large number of guns and ammunition, approximately two thousand guns and two million rounds of ammunition, which were casually collected using cards.
The second room contained rows of freezers, each filled with tens of thousands of Heaven Mushroom.
" Heaven Mushroom?" Although Noah abhorred drugs, he knew that things had both good and bad aspects. This stuff could actually be used as a raw material for some special drugs. He put it away, intending to take it back to Andy for research.
The third room contained some antiques and jewelry, which I casually put away.
The fourth room was very spacious.
Inside were six boxes, containing a Skillful Grade Sword- quality katana, a box of 50 Seastone Bullets, a Zoan Devil Fruit ( Model: Red Spider ), three bottles of a forbidden drug called " Black Blood," a swordsman's manual called " Flying Willow Swordsmanship," and a treasure map leading to an island in the Lost Sea.
These items are among the best of this auction.
Picking up the reagent bottle, Noah looked at the forbidden Black Blood drug inside. He had heard of this drug before; it originated from the She Tuo Kingdom in the South Blue. It was a forbidden drug that could make a person immune to all poisons for a short period of time, but the side effect was that taking one dose of Black Blood would consume five years of one's lifespan.
The Skillful Grade Sword and the swordsman's notes are of little value.
Seastone Bullets have some value.
This Red Spider-Spider Fruit is alright; after all, it's an insect-type animal, so its potential is probably better.
Noah was somewhat interested in this last treasure map.
The Lost Sea is located in the South Blue near the Antarctic ice sheet. According to South Blue legends, the Lost Sea was once a very prosperous region. Around 630 years ago, an unknown disaster occurred, causing the climate of this sea area to become extremely abnormal.
Although the Lost Sea is not on the originally planned route, it is very close to it. By slightly changing one of the nodes on the route, it can be visited along the way.
After Noah finished organizing the auction items, Ray also silenced the more than fifty Donquixote Family members who had fled to the port and destroyed all the Den Den Mushi.
Meanwhile, the Donquixote Family members on the island were also wiped out one by one by the elite members of the Noah Family, who also destroyed all the Den Den Mushi.
Less than an hour.
The entire island is deserted.
The Donquixote Family members and the guests who participated in the auction all died tragically here, and all their belongings were looted.
North Blue, North Wind Archipelago.
Bang! Veins bulged on Doflamingo's forehead as he smashed the desk with his fist.
Beneath Rosinante's Joker makeup, a hint of melancholy was visible.
Trebol, who was in charge of managing the family business, had an even more gloomy face.
Doflamingo grinned maliciously through gritted teeth. "Heh... Investigate! I want to see who dares to be so audacious."
" Doffy, I will definitely find the murderer." Trebol clenched his fist.
Meanwhile, Rosinante, who was pretending to be mute, was secretly planning how to report this matter to Sengoku.
Compared to the enraged Donquixote Family.
In the South Blue, the massacre on a deserted island in the White Mountain Kingdom also sparked a strong reaction.
The nobles, wealthy merchants, and gang leaders of the White Mountain Kingdom and more than a dozen surrounding kingdoms who participated in the auction were all wiped out at once.
This created a power vacuum in these areas in a short period of time, and the forces that reacted quickly organized their forces to seize these vacated territories or businesses.
at the same time.
Heart Island in the South Blue.
The Navy has established the South Blue Base 201 here, which is also the residence of the Navy's South Blue Admiral.
However, at this moment, Commodore Auster, the admiral of the South China Sea, was respectfully leading a tall, lazy middle-aged naval officer on a tour of the base.
"Lieutenant Vice Admiral Kuzan, I wonder how long you'll be going back to your hometown for this vacation?"
Just as Kuzan was about to answer, the Den Den Mushi in his pocket rang.
Blue Blue...
Kuzan waved his hand, then picked up the Den Den Mushi.
Brigadier General Auster, who was standing nearby, immediately ordered his men, "The rest of you, immediately take up positions around the perimeter." After saying that, he himself quickly retreated to a distance, leaving space for Kuzan.
Kuzan answered the phone.
"Hello... this is Kuzan!"
"Lieutenant Vice Admiral Kuzan, this is the General Staff Office. This is Komei. The South Blue Intelligence Office just sent me an urgent report. I'll get straight to the point..."
Kuzan listened to Komei's explanation, but his expression remained unchanged. "Then what does the Sengoku Admiral mean?"
" Admiral Excellency hopes you can stop by the White Mountain Kingdom to investigate, but the mission to capture the Crescent Moon Hunter Catarina Devon, remains unchanged."
"This is really troublesome... Oh well! I'll check it out on my way."
Kuzan hung up the phone and found a sunny patch of grass to lie down on.
The adjutant who came with Kuzan immediately began arranging for warships and supplies.
In fact, for high-ranking naval forces like Kuzan, the Marine Headquarters usually assigns them some of the more challenging tasks in the Shikai (South Seas) under the pretext of approving their return for leave.
For example, Garp's frequent trips back to the East Blue have led to a sharp decline in the quality of pirates in the East Blue over the past two decades.
Kuzan's recent vacation in the South Blue included the mission of capturing Catarina Devon.
It wasn't that Catarina Devon was particularly strong, but rather that this woman's actions instilled great fear in the nobles of many Affiliated Nation. Coupled with the transformation ability of the Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Nine-Tailed Fox, it made it very difficult for the South Blue Navy to capture her.
However, Kuzan was unaware that Catarina Devon had become Noah's prisoner and was being imprisoned within the cards.
