Chương 1322: Gathering at the Auction House (Part )

"That's even better! I've heard that all the supernovas this year are gathering at the Sabaody Archipelago. Hehe, I can't wait to go and see them with my own eyes and learn how amazing their strength is!"

Coffey was so excited that he was rubbing his hands and eager to try it out, his face full of anticipation and excitement.

Powell, who was burly and strong, also echoed, "That's right! We have been stranded in the Chabaoti Archipelago for nearly a month and a half, and the damn navy has not made any movement at all. I have nothing to do all day long. I feel like my bones are about to rust from lack of activity!"

As he spoke, he clenched his fists, which were as thick and powerful as hammers, as if he was ready to fight a big battle at any time.

At this time, Tina was holding an exquisite lady's cigarette in her mouth, and the smoke was slowly exhaled from her red lips. She rolled her eyes unhappily and said angrily, "Hmph, if you ask me, this is all Sister Rachel's fault! She insisted on clamoring to be a dragon slayer, and Brett and Brian were just joining in the fun, fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire. Otherwise, we would have left long ago!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Foster quickly stepped forward to act as a peacemaker and smooth things over: "Alright, alright, everyone stop arguing! It's more important to inform them of the situation first. And for some reason, I always have a strong premonition - I'm afraid that a shocking war will break out next!"

At the same moment! Rachel and her group, who were enjoying themselves on the island, also received urgent news from Daisy.

Rachel's eyebrows were raised, her eyes were wide open, and she shouted angrily, "What? Someone dared to auction the mermaid openly? These guys simply don't take me seriously at all! Listen to me, boys, set off immediately and follow me to Island No. 1!"

After saying this, Rachel, who had the demeanor of a big sister, took the lead, striding forward with her head held high and her chest puffed out, followed closely by a group of obedient younger brothers and sisters, all of whom looked aggressive and menacing.

"I heard that the Celestial Dragons are particularly fond of mermaids. I wonder if I'll have the chance to meet them at the auction!"

Rachel muttered softly, her eyes flickering with excitement and anticipation, and the desire to kill the Celestial Dragons in her heart continued to burn like a flame, never diminishing in the slightest.

At the same time, as if they had a telepathic connection, everyone took firm steps towards the auction house.

However, in another corner, completely opposite to their route, the famous Straw Hat Pirates had just stepped out of Shaqi's extortion bar.

Several people act separately!

It turned out that they came here to help their new friend, the fishman Xiaoba, to find the mermaid Kami who had been missing for many days.

Coincidentally, in this time and space, it was because Xiao Ba asked Xia Qi for help that he got to know the Straw Hat Pirates and formed a friendship with them.

Xiao Yayi rushed to the front, waving a colorful poster in his hand, and shouted excitedly: "Luffy, Luffy, I found a clue! Camie has been sold to the auction house!"

Hearing this, Sanji, who was standing nearby, responded without hesitation: "In that case, what are we still wasting time on? Let's go and rescue Camie!"

Before he finished speaking, Luffy, who was always fearless, laughed heartily, expressing his agreement with Sanji's proposal.

However, just as everyone was about to rush to the auction house, Xiao Ba, who knew the stakes involved, suddenly reached out to stop everyone and said nervously, "Don't do that, everyone! This auction house is not an ordinary place. Its background is quite complicated and mysterious. We can't just barge in casually!"

Xiao Ba knew very well that the forces behind this auction house were complicated and intricate, especially the close ties with the dreaded Celestial Dragons.

If they just barged in like this, not only would they fail to rescue Kimi, but they would also bring themselves into unimaginable trouble and might even be wiped out.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ba didn't want to see these friends, whom he had just met but had become as close as brothers, fall into danger and suffer serious injuries.

Seeing that Hachi rejected their request without hesitation, Luffy, Sanji, Usopp and the others were all confused and scratched their heads at the same time.

"Oh my, what should I do?"

Nami asked loudly with a worried look on her face as she stamped her feet anxiously.

At this time, Xiao Ba pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said with a firm look: "Since this is an auction house, we have no better way. We can only try to buy Kemi from the auction house!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the magnificent auction house building not far away.

Hearing Xiao Ba's suggestion, Nami nodded in agreement without even thinking: "Okay, let's do it!"

Her answer was crisp and clear, without any hesitation.

However, Robin, who had been standing aside and observing silently, couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Nami, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

After all, for Nami, who always loved money, it was somewhat unusual for her to make such a big decision so easily.

After a while, Robin finally came back to her senses. She walked over to Xiao Ba and asked softly, "So, how much does a mermaid cost?"

As she spoke, her beautiful and deep eyes stared at Xiao Ba, as if she wanted to obtain more useful information from Xiao Ba's expression and reaction.

Xiao Ba hesitated for a moment, a look of embarrassment appearing on his face.

He looked around at the new friends he had just met, and wondered whether he should tell the truth.

Finally, after a lot of inner struggle, Xiao Ba gritted his teeth and said, "The price of mermaids has always been very high, probably between 300 million and 500 million berries...!"

Xiao Ba sighed helplessly.

Moreover, because the Rockefeller Kingdom has strengthened its protection measures on Fishman Island, it has become difficult to see mermaids or fishmen on the market, so the price of mermaids is now very expensive.
