Sabaody Archipelago.
Bubbles danced on the island, colorful under the sunlight.
The entire island was vibrant and beautiful, like a dreamlike amusement park.
As the auction approached, various pirates, big and small, and giants of the underworld had all successively arrived here.
"The New World Pirates, DeCal Brothers, 'Blood Cat' Buttle, 'Grotesque Face' Norckley Barrel... all are vicious pirates with bounties over 200 million! And also the president of World Economy News Paper, 'Big News' Morgans, why did he come too...?"
The Marines on the Sabaody Archipelago were all on high alert, as if facing a great enemy, and some grew nervous.
"But why, Stussy, the Queen of the Pleasure District, she also appeared here..."
A Marine in charge of monitoring the port situation looked at a beautiful figure who had just disembarked at the port. His pupils widened, a bit disbelieving: "Could it be that she's also interested in the auction?"
At the somewhat noisy port, two figures walked side by side.
"Heh heh..." It's truly rare. "Stussy, you old hag from the Pleasure District, are you here to seduce men?"
Morgans, wearing a black cape and a tie, looking very gentlemanly, flapped his feathery wings and said to Stussy: "If that's really the case, I can write a free marriage proposal for you!"
Stussy, the Queen of the Pleasure District, wore a pink dress, revealing two slender, white legs. She wore red high heels and carried an exquisite handbag. Her attire was dazzling, making her somewhat alluring.
This was a woman who, with a single glance, would inexplicably ignite lust, making one want to press her down and completely trample her.
"Then that would truly be an honor. If one day I really wanted to marry someone, I couldn't refuse your help, President Morgans..."
Stussy smiled broadly, not at all angry. Her beautiful, watery eyes seemed to hook souls. She lightly chuckled while stroking her hair: "You know, sometimes, Pleasure District also welcomes certain extraordinary guests... Originally, I was quite interested in that natural-type Devil Fruit, but since so many important figures have come, I guess there's not much hope. I'll just treat it as coming to watch the excitement! Hmph~"
Saying that, she raised her jade hand. She was the Queen of the Pleasure District, but she was not interested in the auction.
A battleship was slowly approaching, flying the flag of the Beasts Pirates.
And in another direction, several Germa battleships also appeared on the horizon.
On the leading gigantic War Ship, a red figure stood.
Wearing a Germa combat suit, sunglasses, and a fluttering cape, his hands clasped, his face somewhat expressionless!
He wasn't the heir to Germa 66, Vinsmoke Judge, was he?
"Officers of the Beasts Pirates, and the heirs of Germa 66 have all arrived..."
Usopp directly whistled. Morgans somewhat excitedly laughed loudly: "I received news that BIG MOM Pirates' General, Charlotte Katakuri, had already appeared on Fish-Man Island a few days ago, and he was there to order delicious desserts from Fish-Man Island for BIG MOM..."
"This auction, who knows what big news it will bring. It seems it won't be a wasted trip!"
...
And at this time.
In the first half of the New World, Omir Island.
"Depart, head to Fish-Man Island!!"
Having finished coating, they were about to depart for Fish-Man Island. From there, they would enter the first half of the Grand Line. Marco and Thatch and the others did not discover in the first instance that someone was missing from their ship.
Because they didn't plan to stay long on Fish-Man Island, they only needed to pass through the giant hole beneath the Red Line to directly head towards the Sabaody Archipelago. They wouldn't need to be coated again then, and they would arrive perfectly on time.
In a corner of the port.
Thatch (Marshall D. Teach), his face gloomy and uncertain, his pair of dangerous small eyes narrowed, stared directly at the person disguised as an ordinary peddler in front of him.
"Heh heh heh~"
After a moment, he burst into loud laughter, suppressing the killing intent and impatience in his heart. He asked somewhat boldly: "I'm genuinely curious, how do you know that I want the Dark-Dark Fruit?"
He hadn't expected that he, who had always been quite low-key on the Whitebeard Pirates ship, would actually have someone discover the ambition he harbored in his heart!
This was simply unbelievable, making him shiver involuntarily, and he felt a vague sense of crisis and unease.
"I... I am merely acting on orders..."
The peddler, with an expressionless face, said faintly: "The higher-ups said that if you want the Dark-Dark Fruit, you must cooperate deeply with us. Otherwise, no matter how much effort you put in, even if you spend a monstrous price like hundreds of billions of Berries to buy it, you won't be able to get that Devil Fruit!"
"Damn it!"
Thatch's face darkened. He lunged forward abruptly, grabbing the other person with a large hand and lifting him up: "What did you say?"
His face instantly filled with gloom, and he gritted his teeth, visibly annoyed!
"Come with me first. Someone from above will be coming to see you soon!" The informant said, sweating slightly, but still forcefully maintaining his composure.
"Hmph..."
Thatch's face was grim, but he had no choice but to let go of the other party.
"Lead the way!" His bulky figure followed behind the other person, walking towards the suburbs.
(Don't know about this) He didn't know that on the sea not far from this island.
A ship flying the World Government flag was slowly approaching Omir Island.
"Your Majesty, we're almost there!"
A tall, sturdy man, fully over three meters tall, stood at the bow of the ship, wearing a tiger-face mask. He looked at the 'black dot' on the sea surface with a somewhat distant gaze and spoke to remind them.
Judge kept his eyes slightly closed, leaning against the railing.
His hair was completely dyed white, and he held a ghost-face mask in his hand. His eyes sparkled with sharp intelligence: "This time, we must ensure absolute success, or else just the exposure of my identity will bring trouble."
A white suit, a black tie, wearing a white cape...
The two were dressed exactly like the strongest intelligence agency under the World Government, CP0!
