"Thanks, Miss Shakky. Please give my regards to Rayleigh and the others when you have time."
Roy put the invitation into his storage bag, stood up,
"Also, if possible, please keep an eye on naval movements, especially the deployment of Admiral."
"Don't worry, I'll let you know if there's any news via Den Den Mushi."
Shakky waved her hand and collected the gold coins on the table.
"Good luck, guys. But don't let the navy get here like last time."
Leaving Shakky's bar, the four walked along the streets of Area 13.
"It looks like tomorrow won't be peaceful," Tesoro said worriedly.
"Hmph, perfect. Let them witness the might of the Roy Pirates."
Bullet clenched his fist, Hawk Eyes nodded in agreement. His sharp eyes swept around, and the thugs in the Lawless Zone all lowered their heads under his gaze.
Roy looked up at the largest Yarukiman Mangrove in the distance, which was the direction of the naval base and the entrance to the World Government.
"The plan remains unchanged; prioritize obtaining Adam Wood."
"But if anyone dares to stop them... then let them remember the infamous name of the Roy Pirates."
An invisible aura rose from the four people, causing the surrounding bubbles to burst.
The four of them found a large hotel and waited for the auction to begin the next day.
The following afternoon, in Area 1, at the Human Auctioning House.
When Roy and his three companions arrived at the entrance of the venue, the atmosphere outside the auction hall was noticeably more tense than yesterday, with prying eyes coming from all around.
The number of guards at the entrance had more than doubled, and the gloomy sky brought an oppressive atmosphere, as if a storm was brewing.
Roy and his three companions, holding invitations, entered the venue without incident.
They chose a corner spot as usual and sat down discreetly.
His Observation Haki spread out silently like a spider web, instantly capturing dozens of auras of varying strengths within the arena.
As Roy and his group entered, many eyes turned to them.
"It seems we're quite popular."
Hawk Eyes spoke calmly, for he too had sensed those malicious gazes.
Roy looked up and saw that there were indeed quite a few well-known figures in the room.
"Boss, isn't that the group of Donquixote we defeated a few days ago?" Tesoro looked at Doflamingo not far ahead.
"Not only that,"
Roy quietly pointed to the right, where a terrifying-looking man, 5 meters tall, wearing a leather jacket and with two sharp horns on his head, stood.
"Look, this year's Supernovas, Gecko Moria, is a guy with good potential."
The group looked over at the sound, Moria, sensing their gazes, turned to look at them with disdain.
Hehehehe~
A strange laugh came from his mouth.
"Damn! This is infuriating! Is this guy really that arrogant?" Tesoro said angrily, feeling slighted by the other party's disdain.
"Just an inexperienced kid, don't bother with him," Roy said calmly.
"Look, there are quite a few famous people here."
" Marco, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, is Mythical Zoan -type Phoenix Fruit user. The third division commander is 'Diamond' Jozu, and the fifth division commander is ' Flower Sword ' Vista. He is a powerful Two-Sword Style."
Upon hearing what Roy said about the swordsman Hawk Eyes, he couldn't help but take a closer look.
"Hey! Marco, those guys who just came in are eyeing us!" Vista said to a guy with a pineapple-shaped haircut.
Marco glanced back at the group, a friendly smile on his face. He exchanged a look with Roy, a hint of surprise flashing across his face, clearly recognizing them.
"Hmm! They're a few strong guys."
He said it once and then didn't reply, patiently waiting for the auction to begin.
"Wow, boss, who are those guys over there? They don't look like ordinary people."
Roy looked in the direction Tesoro pointed and saw several strangely shaped figures that stood out.
"Oh, they are members of the Big Mom Pirates. The one with the long tongue is Charlotte Linlin's eldest son, Charlotte Perospero, and the one wearing the scarf is her second son Katakuri. He's probably the strongest among them."
"There's also the fourth son, Charlotte Oven, Paramecia Heat-Heat Devil Fruit User, and the tenth son Locke Cracker, a Biscuit-Biscuit Devil Fruit User."
"Bang--!"
As Roy was introducing himself to the group, a loud bang came from the entrance of the venue, and everyone's eyes turned to the entrance.
"Tap tap tap~~~"
As the smoke cleared, two tall figures were revealed. One was broad-shouldered, carrying a Bluetooth stick, and had two bull horns on his head.
The figure was slightly shorter, dressed entirely in black, with a black hood covering his head and a long sword at his waist. Most striking were the pair of black wings behind him, with raging flames burning behind him.
Upon seeing the two appear, Roy's pupils contracted, then a smirk appeared on his lips.
"How interesting, young Kaido, and King."
" Roy and those two guys are really strong! Especially the one with the spiked club, I can sense that he and I are probably the same type."
Bullet looked at the two people who entered with excitement.
"Buzz--!"
Kaido slung his spiked club over his shoulder, unleashing his Conqueror's Haki, which instantly swept across the entire area.
Many of the weaker individuals rolled their eyes and fainted in their seats.
"Oh~ Luo Luo Luo Luo!"
Kaido glanced around and saw that many people remained unmoved by his Conqueror's Haki. He chuckled, made no further moves, and led King towards the front row.
After he sat down, the quiet meeting room became noisy again, with people gathering in twos and threes to discuss the matter.
"How arrogant! Aren't they afraid of attracting the navy?"
Tesoro looked at the two who had taken their seats.
Roy looked at the young Kaido; judging by the current time, he should have just formed the Beasts Pirates.
"Don't underestimate these two guys," Roy said calmly.
"What, Roy, do you know their origins?" Bullet was clearly very interested in Kaido.
"Hmm, the one with the bull horns is Kaido. I've heard he's from the rare ' Oni Clan,' whose physique is incredibly strong, and he even possesses Mythical Zoan like you."
He even served in the Rocks Pirates, the former world's most powerful Rocks Pirates, and was a crewmate of Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and Charlotte Linlin.
"The other one is also an extraordinary race. It is said that the 'gods' of the Red Line were once from the ' Lunarian ' race. They were later ordered to be exterminated by the World Government. He should be the last one."
Hawk Eyes heard Roy recount the secret and looked at the young man, Jin.
" Roy, what's with the flames behind that guy? Is it Devil Fruit ability?" Hawk Eyes was clearly more interested in the swordsman with the knife.
"No, that's their racial ability. When the flames disappear, his strength and speed increase dramatically, but his defense weakens. Under normal circumstances, his body is incredibly tough, impervious to blades and spears."
Roy stroked his chin, also showing great interest in Ember, delving into the scenes depicted in the murals of the Birka Temple.
The Lunarian Tribe and the Angel Tribe on the Sky Island are clearly from the moon. If you have the chance, you could talk to Kaido to see if they know any secrets about the moon.
The various magical powers of the Lunarian Tribe are very likely obtained through technology. If we master this technology, we can mass-produce these powerful beings.
It wouldn't be impossible for me to overthrow the World Government and become the world's king myself in the future.
