A row of hard steel cages appeared behind the curtain!
Inside these cages were all the captured Heavenly Celestial Dragons. They were all bound with chains, dressed in clean and tidy clothing of the Celestial Dragons, and thoughtfully topped with bubble-like headgear. If not for their environment, they still seemed like the high and mighty World Nobles!
These Celestial Dragons instinctively opened their eyes, gazing at the pirates in the auction. Some had undisguised anger and hatred in their eyes, others were filled with confusion, and some faces were full of fear...
Once...
They were the honored guests of the auction...
Once...
They were the masters of this world, treating people from various races and regions as slaves to be raised and used. Never did they imagine one day they would fall to such a predicament!
"Fufufufu... all big shots!"
Donflamingo laughed arrogantly and wildly. His status allowed him to brazenly mock these former fellow prisoners of his kind: "This world is truly interesting... Those from my clan who once high and mightily refused to let me return to Mary Geoise are also here!"
"Donflamingo!"
A group of Celestial Dragons glared furiously at Donflamingo.
"My kin..."
"My most respected uncle!"
"Fufufufu... fufufufu!"
Donflamingo gazed at one of the Celestial Dragons, the smile at the corner of his mouth growing larger, seemingly unable to suppress his inner joy and elation!
"I will definitely buy you. I'll take you back to the Donquixote's homeland, Dressrosa, and let you enjoy the treatment of a royal failure well..."
"Let you taste..."
Donflamingo adjusted his sunglasses, his smile growing more arrogant, his voice getting lower, as if restraining his anger: "What it felt like when I was driven out of Mary Geoise like a dog..."
"!!!"
The corner of that Celestial Dragon's eye twitched.
"It seems there's another remarkable big shot here!"
Having finished mocking his relatives, Donflamingo exaggeratedly looked towards another cage, laughing and speaking: "Fufufufu... isn't this Commander Figarland Garling of Mary Geoise's Divine Knight Order? Saint Garling has the authority to decide the life and death of Celestial Dragons, how could he be here! I thought the Konoha Pirates were joking!"
"!!!"
Figarland Garling's face appeared somewhat aged.
This elderly Celestial Dragon's gaze slowly moved, not falling on the arrogant Donflamingo, merely scanning the other people on the scene...
Here...
There really were quite a few familiar faces...
Even some enemies from the Valley of the Gods days...
Yet now, unexpectedly, these enemies were honored guests, while he, a high and mighty World Noble, was to be humiliated as a captive dragon, making his heart even more furious!
However...
His anger quickly subsided.
When Figarland Garling saw Red-haired Shanks, he slowly lowered his head, suppressing all his fury in his heart, leaving only a feeling of humiliating disgrace!
Those bastards...
Actually put me up for auction as a slave!
And even did it in front of Red-haired Shanks! How insufferably humiliating!
More humiliating still...
Was the auction process about to begin.
"The first item on auction..."
"A World Noble from the Holy Land Mary Geoise."
"From the Topman family among the Celestial Dragons, Saint Topman Brut, fifty-three years old, height of 1.9 meters, weighing ninety-five kilograms..."
With the auctioneer's voice, a cage was slowly opened, and two auction house guards pushed a sturdy Celestial Dragon inside out.
One guard held a chain, the other ushered the Celestial Dragon forward to the side of the auction platform, displaying him to everyone present.
"As everyone knows..."
"The Topman clan is also quite prestigious among the Celestial Dragons..."
The auctioneer introduced this slave while cautiously trying to please the Konoha Pirates: "It's said that the Law Enforcement Martial God Warcury from the Five Elders hails from the Topman clan. Of course, Law Enforcement Martial God Warcury was already slain in the Sky Island battle by Lord Madara and Lord Hashirama..."
"Hmm?!"
This muscular man named Saint Topman Brut glared longingly and stared angrily at the guard displaying him, then furiously glanced at the group of bidders below!
These bastards...
How dare they buy Celestial Dragons as slaves here!
"I am a descendant of the creator!"
Saint Topman Brut roared loudly, raising his arms, chains clattering with his movements, his eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent: "I will eventually kill all of you who dare insult the gods..."
Thud!
The two guards kicked behind his knees!
This Celestial Dragon dropped straight to his knees!
"Saint Brut was once also a major client of our slave auction house."
The auctioneer wiped the cold sweat off his own forehead, continuing the introduction: "Saint Brut is powerful, having killed nearly seven hundred people on Shampodi Islands alone before being captured by the Konoha Pirates, of which there were over two hundred children, women, and elderly, the rest were strong adult males, including several pirates with bounties exceeding thirty million Bellies..."
"One hundred million Bellies!"
A Great Pirate shouted loudly, his murderous intent undisguised: "I want to grind his bones to dust, and avenge my wife and children!"
