Meanwhile, seeing that Luna and her companions were having a good time and seemed very satisfied with the hastily improvised service, the president of the auction housewho was one of Doflamingo's menall breathed a sigh of relief. This was great; their positions were secure.
"President, time is up."
"Alright, let's begin. Also, tell the auctioneer to pay special attention to Fifth Emperor Lu Yue. I'm telling you, even if we offend a Celestial Dragon today, we absolutely cannot offend her. Understand?"
"Yes, your subordinate will go and handle it now."
The president was certainly not wrong. Although Doflamingo had been driven out, he was still a Celestial Dragon in the end.
He wanted to protect his foundation. Even if Luna killed a Celestial Dragon, the incident couldn't involve him. The Five Elders could agree to such a minor request, especially since they would focus all their attention on Luna afterward, given that Luna killed a Celestial Dragon.
As their conversation ended, the auction began.
But at the same time, besides watching the stage, Luna was also constantly watching the Celestial Dragon below.
He hadn't appeared in the original work. Luna was certain that although Celestial Dragons were all a bunch of disgusting swine, she still had some recollection of those who had appeared in the original story.
Regardless, in Luna's eyes, he was already a dead man.
"Saint Victorla, let's quickly leave this place. There is a Sea Emperor here, and she genuinely might attack us."
"That's right, and the Five Elders have already given instructions for all of you to leave immediately."
Standing next to the Celestial Dragon were his two bodyguards, who were essentially two loyal dogs, speaking with genuine worry.
But don't forget the Celestial Dragonsa group of beings who think highly of themselves. They are arrogant, overbearing, and look down on everyone. In their hearts, they are the masters of the world, and everyone else is merely an ant.
Every action they take reveals arrogance and disdain, as if the entire world should revolve around them. They ignore ordinary people, even casually trampling upon the dignity and lives of others.
This arrogant psychology stems from their innate sense of superiority. They believe that possessing noble blood and endless wealth allows them to do whatever they please. They do not understand respect for others, nor do they care about the feelings of others.
In the world of the Celestial Dragons, only power and desire are paramount. They stop at nothing to satisfy their personal desires. This mindset makes them cold, ruthless, and completely devoid of compassion.
However, their arrogance will not last forever. There will come a day when they pay the price for their actions, just like this fellow.
At this moment, he spoke with an indifferent and disdainful attitude.
"Hmph, what is there to fear? She's just a mere Sea Emperor, a little girl who hasn't even fully matured yet? I am a great Celestial Dragon, a descendant of the gods! However, her flower spirit companion is very interesting. As soon as this is over, you will immediately go and capture her."
The bodyguards beside him were instantly speechless. Fortunately, they immediately secretly contacted the Five Elders and received a promise: disregard whatever Saint Victorla said; they were to forcibly bring him back when the time came and absolutely not provoke Luna.
But the problem was, how powerful was Luna now? Especially with Observation Hakiwhether it was Sword Soul Kill or Sword Soul Color, she had already mastered future sight. How could she possibly not hear what they were saying?
Luna smiled slightly in her heart. Provoke? She intended to provoke. There was no need to get angry at a dead man; ruining her health was not worth it.
At the same time, the auction finally began.
The auctioneer walked onto the stage, and simultaneously, some waiters immediately brought up the auction item.
The first item was definitely the highlight, meant to pique everyone's interest.
Therefore, this first item was a Devil Fruit, although it was just an ordinary Paramecia Type. But forget about Paramecia; even if it were a Mythical Zoan or a Logia Type, Luna would not be interested at all. After all, she had the system, so what good and powerful Devil Fruit couldn't she obtain?
In the end, this Devil Fruit was successfully auctioned off to a pirate.
Following that, item after item consisted of jewelry, decorations, medicine, and so on.
Luna was not interested in any of these things. She could easily obtain them without spending money; she wasn't going to be a fool who overpaid.
It was like these auction items were merely a set of threes, and she saw no need to immediately play a four-two bomb (a card game analogy for vastly overpaying). Simply put, they were not worth it.
Soon, however, the next item caught her interest somewhat, although it wasn't the target of her current visitat least the gem on her person-seeking staff hadn't emitted a more dazzling light yet.
With the help of the staff, an iron cage was pushed onto the stage. Inside were a pair of twins.
According to the introduction, they were twins from a non-affiliated country whose nation had been destroyed by an enemy. They were then captured by Human Traffickers and were now merchandise here.
They looked pitiful, appearing very thin and exhausted, having clearly suffered much hardship. They hadn't eaten for at least a few days and likely hadn't had water either.
Although the clothes they wore were noble attire, they clearly hadn't been changed in a long time and were tattered.
Furthermore, judging by the holes in their clothes and the visible bloodstains, they had obviously been whipped. Yet, none of this could hide their noble and elegant temperament.
The sisters were embracing each other. The younger sister cast fearful glances downward, while the older sister directed looks of resentment.
Both girls had pale blonde hair, and their eyes were red and blue, respectively, sparkling like gems.
This attracted the attention of many people. Coupled with their current pitiful appearance and tattered clothes, it immediately stirred up greedy and possessive looks from many in the audience, including that Celestial Dragon, Saint Victorla.
As for why Luna was interested in them? Naturally, it was because Luna used her system and discovered that if a person's talent was rated 100 as a total value, these two individuals were at least above 70.
If properly nurtured, Luna estimated they would possess at least the strength of a Rear Admiral. Moreover, being beautiful and young, these two girls clearly caught Luna's eye.
Following the auctioneer's self-introduction and self-promotion, his words immediately aroused the bidding desire of many people.
"The starting price for this pair of twin princess sisters is 50 million Berries. All distinguished guests present may now begin bidding. Also, each subsequent bid must not be less than 1 million Berries."
"I bid 51 million."
"Hmph, I bid 55 million."
"Don't compete with this great master! I bid 57 million."
"Hmph, whoever has the most money gets to enjoy them. I bid 60 million."
"They belong to me! 63 million."
