Chapter 110: It's really… Too dirty
"Sharp intuition."
Gawain sighed, and then his eyes fell on the buyers present at the auction.
As more and more people entered the venue, Gawain's face gradually showed an interested look.
At the corner of the auction house, several figures stood out; they were all either wearing cheap suits, had messy hair, or had a callus hand.
At the same time, the temperament they inadvertently exude forms a sharp contrast with the people around them, making them seem out of place.
"As expected."
"How can there be no pirates in a place like this? I just don't know if they are planning to rob openly or if they would behave normally."
"But."
"Things here should be handled by the Marines. I'm not interested in playing the role of a messenger of justice."
"That's what the dog did."
After muttering a few words, Gawain put down the wine glass in his hand and began to wait patiently.
In the corner of the auction house, the few people with awkward clothing that Gawain had just noticed kept looking around.
Although they tried their best to conceal themselves, they could not hide the bloodthirsty and fierce look in their eyes.
The bald pirate in the lead looked around and couldn't help but lick his lips with his tongue.
The greed in his eyes could hardly be concealed.
"The captain has been eyeing Loguetown for a while, but he just didn't have the chance before."
"But the monster in Loguetown was said to have been seriously wounded by pirates from the Grand Line a few days ago."
"This is our chance!"
"Hurry up and identify the prey, then pass the information to the captain!"
The pirate sitting next to him spread his hands helplessly: "The captain's Den Den Mushi can't be dialed through."
"Can't get through again?"
The bald pirate's expression suddenly darkened: "He just changed his Den Den Mushi a few days ago, and now it's broken again?"
"When it comes to the critical moment, something always goes wrong. In my opinion, he shouldn't be the captain!"
The people sitting next to him didn't dare to say anything, so they could only take the opportunity to change the subject: "Let's take a picture of the target first so as not to lose it later."
"Understood."
This group of pirates disguised as buyers was just one of the ones Gawain saw.
In other locations, at least four pirate crews from different forces had infiltrated and were looking for prey.
"Has Smoker's injury not healed yet? Or has he been injured by someone else again?"
"Did I go too far?"
Gawain curled his lips.
To be honest, if he hadn't planned to join the seven warlords of the sea in the future, he would have killed him after he came to his door twice in a row.
The only explanation for Smoker's current situation is that there should be a pirate who seriously injured him.
If he were here, it would be impossible for this group of pirates to land at the harbor, let alone get into the auction house.
Then Gawain stopped worrying about this problem and waited patiently.
Time flies, and it is almost eight o'clock in the evening.
It was getting dark outside the window, and a bright moon was rising in the sky.
The cold moonlight shone through the skylight in the center of the auction house, illuminating the host in the middle.
A man wearing a strangely shaped hat and star-shaped glasses on his nose slowly walked to the auction table.
After looking around, he picked up the microphone and was about to go through the motions: "Dear guests, this time, I, Disco, will be performing for you—"
"Stop that! Let's get to the point!"
A rude voice rang out in the auction hall, interrupting Disco's words, and a wine glass flew in Disco's direction.
Snap!
The guard behind Disco grabbed the wine glass, but the wine still spilled right onto Disco's face.
"This guest is really anxious!"
There was no trace of embarrassment on Disco's face. He slowly took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the wine off his face, and waved to the guard beside him.
Several guards understood and joined forces to throw the noble who had just made the move out.
Seeing this, the auction hall was silent.
Disco put on a professional fake smile and said: "Now the auction continues!"
"Since you are all so anxious, I won't delay it anymore!"
"First lot in the auction today!"
Kriee...
After a sound of pulley rolling, a small display trolley covered with a black curtain was pushed onto the auction table by several waiters.
Disco took down the curtain, and the dazzling white light suddenly lit up, shining on the stage.
Gawain finally saw clearly what was on the trolley.
People!
Two women with slim figures but completely naked were hugging each other helplessly.
Their eyes were red, and they looked so pitiful.
"A twin sister from the Suelbe kingdom, what is their quality? Everyone present here has their own opinion."
"But in my opinion, it is an absolute masterpiece!"
"Right."
Disco raised his lips slightly and said meaningfully: "Because they are twins, these two can share senses to a certain extent!"
"The starting price is one million Belly, and each increase must not be less than fifty thousand."
"Bidding begins now!"
As the sound fell to the ground.
There was a sudden sound of rapid breathing at the scene.
The faces of the nobles who stood at the top of the world's power structure all revealed undisguised lust.
"One million and two hundred thousand!"
"One million and three hundred thousand!"
As the first bid was sounded, a continuous stream of bidding was heard at the scene.
When these nobles were in a world where the sun could not shine, their most primitive animal nature was revealed.
Eventually, the twins were bought by a fat businessman for nearly four million Belly, who couldn't wait to leave the auction venue.
Gawain frowned slightly.
The speed of the underworld is so fast that it is simply incredible.
You have to know that it has only been more than half a month since Smoker fell seriously injured.
In such a short time, it is already a huge undertaking to transport these auction items, or slaves, from all over the world.
It's an extremely difficult thing to do.
Rare races in the world have a far higher value than ordinary humans, but they are scattered and hidden in various places around the world.
But, after thinking about it, Gawain gradually reacted.
To support a stable human trafficking business, countless supply chains are needed, intertwined with each other, to form a huge trading network that covers almost the entire world.
From this perspective, the auction shown in the Sabaody Archipelago in the original timeline was merely the final link in this underworld crime to send innocent people like those two girls to the hands of buyers.
"It's really… Too dirty."
Between his words, a hint of hostility flashed unconsciously in Gawain's eyes, but he knew more clearly that there is a market only when there is demand.
It is precisely because of the twisted and dark desires in the hearts of these so-called nobles that the underworld human trafficking network was established.
One by one, the goods were pushed onto the auction table with the help of the cart.
Apart from a few symbolic antiques that appeared on the auction table, there was only one item, people.
From beautiful girls to strong male humans to some rare races that were unheard of in the East Blue. It makes the nobles present driven crazy.
Gawain even saw three strong Fish-Men with gills on their shoulders and mouths full of ferocious, sharp teeth.
When they first appeared, everyone was surprised, and then they went crazy!
"There's… actually such a monster!"
"A Fish-Men of the same species as Arlong, who was defeated by the knight Gawain before!"
"It possesses a strong physique, and it can move freely underwater. They are not only powerful but also the best sailors!"
"Even if it's just for viewing, it has extremely high value!"
"I want it!"
"Don't steal from me!"
