"Five hundred million and fifty Belly."
This number is oddly specific.
The group of people looked at Donflamingo in shock.
Donflamingo grinned coldly at his kinsman, seemingly wanting to humiliate this relative to the fullest: "Fufufufu... Although I think this waste is only worth fifty Belly, the auction at Konoha deserves five hundred million..."
"..."
The insides of a group of people were filled with curses.
This bastard...
Even now, he doesn't forget to flatter Konoha!
Yet no one present competed with Donflamingo.
Because they didn't care about the power struggles within the Heavenly Celestial Dragons, nor were they willing to meddle; anyway, the fate of this Donquixote Celestial Dragon's slave wouldn't end well...
Soon.
The auction of this item concluded.
One after another, more Celestial Dragons were brought up swiftly. Among them, Red-haired Shanks and agents of the World Government bid multiple times, managing to acquire some Celestial Dragons, since some Pirates weren't interested in them...
This auction proceeded orderly.
Yet no one noticed the turbulent undercurrents beneath the auction, and several world agents were silently calculating time, awaiting the most important auction item.
The Commander of the Divine Knight Order...
Saint Figarland Garling.
Because the World Government was well aware that with these agents' strength, it was unlikely to stir up trouble under the Konoha Pirates' control. Thus, they pinned their hopes on Saint Figarland Garling.
As long as Garling acted on this island...
The Navy stationed in the waters outside Shampodi would immediately charge in to launch an attack together!
"Now, let's welcome the headlining auction item..."
The Slave Auction's organizer finally, trembling, introduced the auction's identity: "Saint Garling of the Figarland Celestial Dragon family..."
"One billion Belly!"
A World Government female agent immediately declared a price!
"Hmph, one and a half billion Belly!"
Sand Crocodile Crocodile snorted coldly, feeling that this elderly Celestial Dragon was certainly not simple and immediately bid directly!
"Two billion Belly."
Red-haired Shanks calmly voiced his bid.
In this auction house, no one could match the financial resources of the World Government. Red-haired Shanks and the World Government's agents here were capable of winning Saint Figarland Garling.
"Three billion Belly!"
"Five billion Belly!"
This number was enough to frighten away the Pirates.
The Super Rookies listened to these gigantic numbers, each somewhat unbelievable, as their heads couldn't compare to a tenth of this number!
"Nami is here..."
Luffy sat at the auction, thinking of their ship's greedy Navigator: "She'd surely go crazy..."
Five billion Belly...
This number would surely drive Nami crazy!
Yet that World Government agent, without even lifting her head, bid this price!
"Five billion Belly, sold!"
The Slave Auction's organizer finally concluded the auction, loudly congratulating the bidder: "Congratulations to the Queen of Joy Street in the Underworld, Ms. Stussy, on acquiring the most valuable slave, Saint Figarland Garling..."
"Please give us the key."
Stussy furrowed her brows, reaching out to request the key to unlock the chains.
What did the auction organizer mean by this, wasn't he making her also offend the noble Celestial Dragon Saint Figarland Garling!
"I must warn you..."
The organizer quickly presented the key, cautiously advising, "If you recklessly unlock the slave's chains, they might act to harm their owner..."
However...
Stussy was not at all concerned.
This woman, known as the Queen of Joy Street in the Underworld and secretly serving the World Government, took the key and unlocked the chains on Saint Figarland Garling!
"Garling..."
After unlocking the chains, Stussy immediately lowered her voice, intending to communicate the Five Elders' orders to the Divine Knight Order's Commander.
The next moment!
Stussy's body was sent flying back!
As soon as Saint Figarland Garling was freed, he slapped Stussy across the face, sending this alluring woman flying!
"Garling!"
"Garling!"
The other rescued Celestial Dragons immediately looked at Saint Figarland Garling with eyes full of hope, wishing for this Celestial Dragon Guardian to rescue them!
All Pirates present became instantly alert!
"That guy..."
Bartholomew Bear hurriedly shielded his daughter Bonney, intending carefully to take her away: "Bonney, let's go!"
"Still as hot-tempered..."
Dark King Rayleigh observed the abrasive Saint Figarland Garling, smilingly looking at Red-haired Shanks beside him: "You both are not alike at all..."
"Ha, this..."
Red-haired Shanks awkwardly scratched his head.
In a strict sense...
Red-haired Shanks and Saint Figarland Garling looked almost similar, even if aged, one could still see their similar outlines...
"Garling!"
The other World Government agents were startled!
The agents, fearing Saint Figarland Garling's temper, might murder them all, hastily shouted the World Government's order to him!
