The auction below was extremely fierce, with most participants being pirates and nobles.
Undoubtedly, they were all lusting after the twin sisters on stage, especially since they were princesses.
They all wanted to buy the princesses back, have their fun, and then thoroughly indulge their fantasies.
Unlike Luna, she simply wanted to nurture them as talent; after all, she had already decided that given her status as a fifth emperor, how could she not establish a massive fleet?
At this moment, as time passed, the competition intensified. This truly was the One Piece World, where slave trading was rampant. Even previous auction items, including relatively low-grade Devil Fruit, were less attractive to these people than the twin sisters.
"One hundred million Berries." Suddenly, as a voice rang out, the price finally broke the hundred million mark.
Everyone looked over upon hearing the bid, and many people's expressions changed, recognizing the bidder.
The bidder was a fierce, muscular man with scars on both sides of his face. Judging by his attire, he was clearly the captain of a Pirate Crew.
Everyone whose expression had changed knew they couldn't underestimate him, as he was a major pirate from the New World with a bounty of at least two hundred million. Moreover, he was an Ancient Zoan Cave Bear ability user, and rumor had it that he and his crew were affiliated with the Beasts Pirates.
Even in the New World, he was an existence capable of navigating freely in his own territory.
His own strength was formidable, justifying his bounty, and he was known for his brutality.
Many people immediately backed down upon seeing him, knowing full well the man's ferocious violence. His favorite thing to do was torment sisters like the pair in the iron cage, especially those with a gentle and elegant demeanor.
At this moment, as the auctioneer on stage announced the first bid, he greedily fixed his gaze on the two sisters in the cage, his eyes radiating the look of a hungry wolf. Disgustingly, like a toad, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
This immediately made the younger sister nearly cry from fear, and even the older sister's expression was no longer calm.
"One hundred million Berries, going twice! Are there any more bids?" The auctioneer on stage immediately shouted while slamming down the second gavel.
But suddenly, there was always some fat pig jumping out; after all, a fat pig was much stronger than a toad.
"I bid three hundred million Berries."
As this voice rang out, everyone was stunned. Who dared to snatch food from the man nicknamed 'Tyrant Bear'?
Tyrant Bear was now furious, practically volcanic with rage. He immediately turned his blood-red, murderous eyes toward the source, but when he saw who it was, he instantly wilted. Even though he was a major pirate who sailed freely in the New World,
facing this kind of person, few among the fifth emperor would dare to provoke them.
Others who saw the bidder couldn't help but gasp, causing the entire room to feel momentarily hotter. They reacted this way because the one bidding was a Celestial Dragon.
Specifically, the fat pig, Saint Victorla.
In the current world, genuinely few people dared to offend the Celestial Dragons. Especially due to the Celestial Dragons' own threats, coercion, and negative influence, many truly believed they were gods who absolutely could not be offended. If they were, even a slight physical affront would summon a Admiral.
But Luna merely scoffed at this. What was a Admiral?
As for the fat pig below, haha, let him live a little longer.
However, three hundred million Berries was no small sum, and coupled with the fact that a Celestial Dragon was bidding, no one dared to raise the price immediately.
This instantly made the fat pig, Saint Victorla, smug, and he even started mocking others.
"Hmph, you are nothing but mere commoners! How dare you try to snatch something from this Saint?"
This was the mindset of these Celestial Dragons: anything they desired could not be given to commoners, and even if they didn't want it, commoners still couldn't have it.
Heh heh, the time is almost right.
Luna sneered. At the same time, she looked at the Celestial Dragon below and wondered whether it would be better to strike him dead with lightning, burn him to death with Magma, or freeze him into an ice block and shatter him into powder? Perhaps blasting him full of holes with light beams would also be fun.
Just as the auctioneer above was about to call the price for the third time,
Luna made her move. After all, the time had come.
Besides, annoying the guy before killing him wouldn't hurt.
Luna immediately raised her bidding paddle and announced,
"I bid five hundred million."
She might as well go big. Besides, she wasn't short on money right now, especially since the Marines had paid her quite a sum after the war a few days ago.
Hearing another person bid, and specifically daring to outbid a Celestial Dragon, everyone present felt as if lightning had struck their hearts. They stood rooted to the spot, completely dumbfounded and incredulous.
Who was it? Who dared to bid against a Celestial Dragon?
Even Tyrant Bear was shocked. Damn, who was this ruthless individual who wasn't afraid of the Celestial Dragons?
At this moment, even Saint Victorla's own expression froze. His greedy and lustful gaze toward the two sisters on the stage truly solidified.
But once he reacted, he naturally started cursing like a porcupine whose quills had been pulled out.
"Who? Who dares to steal this Saint's prey? Do you have a death wish?"
But suddenly, an overwhelmingly powerful pressure descended, as if the room had been hit by a nuclear bomb. The resulting shockwave was utterly unstoppable.
Many people present were knocked unconscious, save for a few strong individuals. This included the Celestial Dragon, who, after all, was mostly just a fat pig with no real strength.
Rumor has it that even the most ordinary commoner could possess the strength of 90% of the other Celestial Dragons.
At the same time, many people in the auction house were taken out, including the auctioneer and some service staff; they were merely weaklings in the end.
"I bid five hundred million for this pair of sisters. Does anyone here have an objection?"
Luna stood up, smiling as she addressed the crowd.
But upon seeing that it was her, everyone froze, then collectively gasped: the fifth emperor, Void Demon God Rocks D. Luna.
Seeing her smile at that moment, they felt as if they were looking at a demon cloaked in an angel's robe.
Everyone immediately shook their heads, indicating they had no objection.
What a joke! Who would dare object to a Sea Emperor? At least, no one here would.
The Celestial Dragon? Heh heh, he was already unconscious and had wet himself.
Would a Sea Emperor fear the Celestial Dragons? What they worried about was retaliation from the World Government. Few among the Yonko liked to actively stir up trouble, but killing a Celestial Dragon? They definitely dared to do that.
