Chương 1334: Auction Trouble ()

In this way, these celestial dragons rushed to donate generously and took out all their property without hesitation.

However, among this group of impulsive celestial dragons, there are still some relatively calm and sober people.

When they saw their companions behaving so crazy, they frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then nodded slowly, expressing their understanding and support for this behavior.

After all, for most of the Celestial Dragons, the purpose of gathering here is nothing more than the extremely rare and highly anticipated annual fish-man auction.

But no one had expected that a member of the Rockefeller family would show up and disrupt the situation, and start a fierce competition with them.

What was even more unexpected was that the other party raised the price to a staggering 2 billion in one fell swoop.

This number was completely beyond the expectations of all the Celestial Dragons.

At this moment, whether or not the mermaid could be obtained seemed no longer so important.

The most crucial issue is that as a high-ranking Celestial Dragon, they will never allow themselves to lose face to anyone.

Especially when it comes to competing for wealth, one must never fall behind.

So, before long, the huge amount of funds contributed by these Tianlong people were gathered together.

When the final total was calculated, everyone present couldn't help but gasp - it was a jaw-dropping, shocking astronomical figure!

A huge amount of funds, amounting to tens of billions, appeared before everyone like a mountain.

In an instant, the Tianlong people, who had been a little nervous, suddenly felt confident. They held their heads high and chests puffed out, with their backs straight, as if victory was already in sight.

\"Two and a half billion! \" Following this deafening shout, the entire auction site instantly became silent.

People turned their eyes towards the direction where the sound came from - they saw Charles Saint standing there with an arrogant look on his face, his eyes full of confidence and disdain.

When this offer was made, everyone present gasped.

You know, this number is not a small amount. Even for those nobles who are rich enough to rival a country, it is a huge sum of money.

However, the surprise is yet to come.

Just when everyone hadn't recovered from the shock, a clear, pleasant, yet somewhat contemptuous female voice rang out: "Three billion!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Daisy standing up with a faint smile on her lips. She turned to look at the auctioneer and slowly called out the astonishing price.

Three billion! This number exploded among the crowd like a bombshell.

Everyone in the audience was shocked again. They looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

Who could have thought that this seemingly ordinary auction would be so intense?

At this moment, Luffy was staring at the pitiful figure on the auction table - Camie - with an angry face.

He clenched his fists tightly and his body trembled slightly with anger.

Xiao Ba, who was standing by, noticed Luffy's reaction and quickly lowered his voice and said, "Luffy, they are from the Rockefeller family. They have a close relationship with our Fishman Island. I believe they want to rescue Camie from the Celestial Dragons this time."

As Xiao Ba spoke, he glanced at the Golden Queen Rachel not far away.

He had once met this legendary figure.

At that time, Rachel was stationed on Fishman Island. Although he only saw her from a distance, her noble temperament still left a deep impression on him.

"The Rockefellers?"

Luffy, who was originally angry and on the verge of a fight, froze his expression instantly after hearing the name, and his astonishment was beyond words.

His eyes were so wide open that they seemed to be about to fall out of their sockets. His gaze quickly shifted from the Celestial Dragons to Rachel, as if he wanted to get more information about this mysterious family from her.

Luffy's sudden and exaggerated reaction naturally attracted the attention of others around him.

Everyone looked at him with curiosity and doubt, especially the thoughtful Robin who was the first to ask: "Luffy, do you know this person from the Rockefeller family?"

Everyone knows that Luffy's identity and background are not simple, so they are curious about the possible connection between him and this family.

Luffy took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down a little, and his face became serious.

He said slowly: "I only know that... Grandpa's left arm was broken by someone from the Rockefeller family!"

As these words came out of his mouth, the heartbreaking scene from three years ago came flooding back to his mind.

At that time, the young Luffy saw his usually majestic grandfather appear in front of him with a dejected look on his face, and his left sleeve was empty, and the once strong and powerful left arm was nowhere to be seen.

The deep shock and pain are still deeply engraved in our minds, and all this is because of the Rockefeller family.

"grandfather!"

Hearing this, Nami and the others couldn't help but exclaim.

They couldn't believe their ears. You know, Luffy's grandfather is the famous naval hero - Garp!

This legendary figure once personally captured the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, who made the whole world tremble. His outstanding military achievements and powerful strength are unparalleled in the world.

However, it is really unbelievable that such a powerful man had his left arm broken by someone from the Rockefeller family.

Even Xiao Ba, who was usually knowledgeable, was stunned and speechless for a long time.

For a moment, the whole scene fell into deathly silence, with only the sound of people's heavy breathing coming one after another.

After a long while, everyone came back to their senses as if awakened from a dream.

When they turned their attention back to the field, they found that the bid had soared like a rocket to an astonishing figure - 4 billion berries!

Just as the Tianlong people were about to raise the price again, suddenly, a deafening roar resounded throughout the venue: "Stop!"

This voice was like a thunder, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a slender young man wearing a straw hat standing on the steps in a corner of the auction.

His eyes were wide open, his face was full of anger, and he stared at the direction of the auction table.

"Asshole, Kemi is not a commodity for you to buy and sell at will!"

Luffy yelled at the auctioneer in anger.

Then, he took a big step without hesitation and rushed towards the auction table like an angry lion.
