"What? Kemi was stolen!?"

As Luffy's voice came from the "paper mobile phone" on his wrist, the straw hat group who was still shopping everywhere was instantly shocked.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo all belongs to mine-"

Everyone's mouth that appeared on the paper of their wrists went from crying and shouting to calm sounds.

"It's me, Roman."

"It may be done by the slave hunting team, and it's not clear yet. But don't panic, I'm conducting a search across the island and it will be a result soon..."

“Super serious ~~”

"Roman is still reliable at the critical moment!"

"How could so many of you guys let Kemi get...?"

"You all say less, what should we do now?"

Zoro's voice suppressed other noises, and of course the person asked was:

"Well, I will send doves to guide you. - Follow them to meet first."

Click,

After hanging up the "mobile phone", Roman looked up at Nami and Robin with a worried look on their faces.

"Don't panic,"

"Since the other party is a slave hunting team, I definitely hope to sell Kemi for a good price. In other words, Kemi's safety is not to worry about in a short period of time."

With a casual move, the flying white paper formed a six-legged "car". As for the previous transportation tool: the famous bubble car in Shambodi, of course it was thrown away directly~~

“Get in the car,”

After Nami and Robin sat in the back seat, Roma immediately drove the weird-looking "car" toward Island No. 1!

The others from the Straw Hat Group also came toward Island No. 1 under the guidance of Roman's "White Dove".

In fact, Roman's pigeons had already flown into the 'population auction' of Island 1, Shambodi Island... Ah, it was no, it was in the 'labor dispatch market'.

It was filled with dignitaries, royal celebrities, and their bodyguards; of course, there were lawless pirates, bounty hunters who licked blood from the blade, and:

The dragon man!

‘Look over there…that guy is Captain Kidd from the South China Sea!’

Amid the whispers of the surrounding celebrities, behind the auction, there was a red hedgehog head leaning against the wall, Kidd, wearing a coat, showed disdain.

"Chenlong people...slaves plus population market,"

"Compared with these lustful guys, our 'bad thing' is simply pediatrics."

"It is precisely because scumbags dominate the world that more scumbags appear-"

Even though he said so, he changed his mind.

"If you see something you like, we can buy a few back~~hahaha!"

"Boss Kidd, look."

In the circular auction venue next to it, Trafalgar Rod, who was surrounded by several cadres of the Heart Pirates, put his hands on the chair and looked like a "big boss sitting posture".

"The 200 million wanted criminals who came to the North Sea. Notorious, and-"

Kidd, who was given a middle finger by Luo, frowned his eyebrows without brows.

“Laboring education!”

As the auction began, one by one, one by one, one by one, was sent to the exhibition stand. In the presenter's pleasing introduction: a down-and-out musician, a group of strong laborers, a pirate captain, and a beautiful dancer made a debut.

The elegant gentlemen and ladies tore off the mask of "civilization" and began to comment on each other as if they were picking goods, so that the pirates who were accustomed to killing with knives could see another kind of fang.

"Oh My God,"

A person from the Heart Pirates looked at the pirate captain who bit his tongue and committed suicide on the stage, but there was dissatisfaction and anger sounded around him, and moved his butt with lingering fear.

"Compared with them, I suddenly feel like a saint..."

—————

“It’s here,”

As Roman stopped the "car", Franky, Usopp, and Sanji, who were nearby, had also arrived one after another. Ignoring the few slaves with collars next to him, Sanji, who was anxious, wanted to rush inside, so of course:

"Stop! Who--"

"Take our mermaid friend Kemi!!"

Facing the crowd who was about to fight after a disagreement, the guard opposite just sneered.

"We don't know what mermaid!"

"Don't be arrogant, pirates! We are the 'labor dispatch market' protected by the navy. If we attack us, a large number of navy will come soon. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"I care--"

"etc!"

Roman stopped Franky, who was about to take action.

"If Kemi really falls into the hands of these people, she will usually be brought in a 'slave collar'."

"Slave Collar?!"

This straw hat group encountered this thing before when shopping. A runaway slave captain had his neck blown away and his flesh was blown away and he fainted. - That was a master with a bounty of 60 million! If an ordinary mermaid like Kemi was blown by that thing, I'm afraid...

The brain can be applied to the floor.

"What should I do?"

Faced with the others in a dilemma, Roman waved his hand and stepped forward. The armed guard sneered:

"You want to-?!"

“Answer me,”

Roman flipped his wrist and a gold bar firmly attracted the guard's gaze.

"Is there a short-haired kissing mermaid in the auction today?"

“Ah…it seems…it’s still…it’s not…”

As the eyes turned as the gold bars in Roman's hand turned, the words that sucked and swayed Roman shook his head in disappointment.

"Since there isn't, let's go to the next house-"

"Yes! Yes!!"

He threw the gold bar to the side, and the guard immediately jumped and bit the gold bar like a dog. After landing, he also smiled charmingly at Roman with a provocative smile.

"Thank you for your reward~~~"

"Let's go,"

Roman, who was very skilled in this "business", waved to the rest of the Straw Hat Group.

"us·····"

"Of course, according to the auction rules, buy Kemi back!"

?????

No, is our straw hat group so much money?

Click,

Pushing open the door to the auction, Roman and his group did not attract much attention, except for the Kidd Pirates who were also standing behind the auction venue.

"Boss, those are the Straw Hat Pirates."

"The leader is not the straw hat... Is that person, is it the 'White Knight'?"

Because everyone offers a reward, the Straw Hat Group is definitely the most recognizable pirate group. Others have faced the wanted order, so there is only one possibility for the leading handsome boys:

"It seems that the armor is his fighting posture. Unfortunately, I didn't see their captain, otherwise I would have to see--"

What kind of man is he who can surpass him in the total bounty?

"····· Then, everyone, the finale is about to be on the court!"

As the host and boss used exaggerated body movements to mobilize the atmosphere, a huge 'fish tank' blocked by the curtain was pushed out, and a swimming curved silhouette inside immediately made the audience cheer. The identity of the product was self-evident.

"The Mermaid to Fishman Island: Kemi!"

"I don't need to say how precious the real young mermaid is? Then, everyone--"

"500 million!"

In the seat, a fat figure stood up, with a snot on his face, and a slap stretched out in a silly expression.

A sudden cold situation!

"The opponent is too strong, no chance..."
