Chapter 057
The next day, before dawn, Jumbo Town quickly woke up from its slumber.
Today is the big day of the year in Jumbo Town, a year’s savings, a year’s collection, all through thousands of choices. Held only once a year, and only one day a year, these peerless treasures will show their true face!
There is a wide circular square in the center of the town, and above the square is a huge meeting place, which is the most majestic building in the entire treasure town, which is also the venue for auctions.
When the east was slightly white, the gate of this auction venue was already full of people, and the entire circular square was full of people, densely packed, and looked like a group of black ants from afar.
After Luffy and the others got up, they first washed, and then ate breakfast slowly, facing the noisy sound from outside, they were not in a hurry at all, especially Luffy, after breakfast, he also drank a cup of tea calmly, very calmly.
After leaving the hotel, Luffy and the others carried three sacking bags of treasure and walked directly to the crowded place.
When they walked to the circular square, they were all shocked by the picture in front of them.
The huge circular square, which covers hundreds of square meters, is densely packed with people, and the voices of people are loud and resounding in the sky.
“More than 30,000 people? Doesn’t seem to be a joke? Seeing this picture, Luffy couldn’t help but smile.
Solon on the side looked around, his face suddenly became solemn, he was a pirate hunter before, and naturally saw many familiar faces on the bounty list in this crowd.
Nami and Kaiya didn’t care too much, but there were too many people around, and the various strange smells produced by this made these two slightly hygienic beauties uncomfortable.
“Luffy, with so many people, how are we going to get in?” Is it a queue? Usopp asked, looking around.
“Haha.” Luffy laughed, “Fools are lining up, we’re going to be VIP seats!” ”
Luffy’s voice was not loud, but it was still heard by many people around.
Seeing the unkind eyes of the people around him, Yamaji lit a cigarette and deliberately said in a deep voice: “How?” What’s there to see? ”
Solon on the side very cooperatively flicked the knife on his waist.
“Wow, isn’t that the famous pirate hunter in the East China Sea, the ghost man Solon?” Obviously, Solon is quite famous outside.
“How did the pirate hunter get here?”
“Hey, look, isn’t that blond man the man who used to appear in the newspaper?”
“Oh oh, I’ve seen this man, he seems to be a chef, and he came out of that sea restaurant Barati in the East China Sea.”
“Sea restaurant Barati? Isn’t that violent restaurant? ”
Ignoring everyone’s conversation, Luffy and the others walked directly towards the gate of the auction venue.
There was a long table at the gate of the auction hall, where a gray-robed old man with a wrinkled face sat as he registered the people who wanted to participate in the auction one by one.
At this time, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of the gray-robed old man, and the old man looked up, and what came into view was a young and handsome straw hat boy, the corners of the young man’s mouth were slightly hooked, quite charming.
Looking at the dissatisfied people around the young man, the gray-robed old man spoke: “Straw hat boy, are you also here to participate in the auction?” ”
“Yes, Grandpa, can we cut the queue?” Luffy smiled brightly.
Everyone around was stunned by what Luffy said: Cutting the queue is also so righteous?
Solon and the others next to Luffy couldn’t help but laugh out loud when they heard this.
The gray-robed old man coughed and cleared his throat, he looked at Luffy and said, “Straw hat boy, are you serious?” But there are so many people waiting here? ”
“That is, we have all been waiting in line for so long, why do you have to line up ahead of us with a word?”
As soon as the gray-robed old man’s words echoed, a large number of dissatisfied voices suddenly came from behind Luffy.
“Hehe, grandpa, I’m a pirate, these are my partners.” Luffy smiled and asked, “I don’t know grandpa, how can we cut the queue?” ”
“As long as you have the strength!”
“Strength?”
“That’s right, economic power.”
As soon as the gray-robed old man’s words were finished, Luffy smiled again, sure enough, it was an auction, as long as there is money, everything can be done for you, and money can make ghosts push and grind!
“I wonder how much Grandpa wants?” Luffy asked.
The gray-robed old man glanced at Luffy and the others, and said lightly: “If you want to ignore the discipline of queuing and enter the venue directly, one person is one million berry, and there are six of you, so it is six million berry.” ”
Six million berry?!
Hearing this number, most of the people present were shocked, six million berry is already an astronomical amount for the average pirate.
But for Luffy, it’s a small thing.
Luffy, Solon, and Sanji simultaneously threw the sack behind their backs on the table in front of the gray-robed old man, revealing a staggering amount of treasure inside.
The scene was in an uproar!
No one could have imagined that these very ordinary people had so much money on them.
Rao was the gray-robed old man who had seen the strong wind and waves, and he was also stunned for a while.
“Grandpa, you calculate how much these treasures are worth, and deduct six million from them.” Luffy said, pointing to the treasure on the table.
The gray-robed old man did not touch Luffy’s treasure, he stood up and said respectfully: “No need to count, the mayor of the town has an order, everyone who carries more than 100 million funds can directly enter the auction venue, a few, please put away your treasures, please inside!” ”
Luffy and the others looked at each other and smiled, and then took the treasure and entered the venue under the envious and jealous eyes of everyone.
After Luffy and them entered, the gray-robed old man summoned a subordinate and ordered him to entertain the few people who had just entered, they were the true masters of the auction!
Upon entering the venue, you will be greeted by a huge two-meter-high round platform.
The venue is brightly lit, and there are thousands of seats arranged in a staircase around the round platform, which is about a few meters away from the nearest seat, which is probably where people without seats can stand.
The seats on the top floor of the venue were blocked by red cloths, and it seemed that they were supposed to be VIP seats.
At this time, a young man dressed as a servant walked over, he first bowed respectfully to Luffy and the others, and then said politely: “A few adults, inside are important guests of the auction, so according to the orders of my master, please here!” ”
With that, the young man turned and walked ahead, leading the way for Luffy and them.
Following the young man, Luffy and they came to the highest level of the venue.
The young man pointed to one of the intricately carved wooden doors and said, “Sir, this is your seat, please wait here for a while, the auction will start later, and if you want any service, just let me know, my name is Orr.” ”
Luffy saw that the young man was polite and in a good mood, and he said, “Then thank you in advance, Orr.” ”
Orr immediately said: “Adults are polite, this is what I should do.” ”
Opening the wooden door, Luffy and they understood what the so-called VIP seat was about.
Where are the seats? This is clearly a luxurious room!
The crystal chandelier emits a soft glow and fills the room, and there is a long leather sofa in the center of the room, which I don’t want to sit on, it’s too soft and comfortable!
The front of the room was covered by a red cloth, Luffy they couldn’t see outside, and the people outside couldn’t see them.
However, there is a huge display screen in front of the sofa, and the display screen is connected to the film and television phone worm on the side, which means that Luffy and others watch the auction through the phone bug.
Nami sat on the soft sofa and said happily: “Haha, it seems that it is really good to have money, even the auction has such a high-end seat, I thought I was going to stand under the stage at first!” ”
There was a coffee table in front of the sofa, with a lot of fruits and a few bottles of red wine on it, Sanji picked up one of the bottles of red wine and looked at it, his eyes couldn’t help but shake: “Isn’t this a famous wine abundant in the West Sea?” Didn’t expect to meet here? ”
As soon as he heard that there was wine, Solon immediately came to his senses, he took a bottle of red wine from the coffee table, poured it directly into his mouth, drank it all in one breath, and then burped and said: “The taste is really good, but it’s too little!” ”
Saying that, Solon wanted to take another bottle of red wine, but was immediately stopped by Sanji: “You green algae head, what are you doing?” Did you drink like that? ”
“chef, you have to take care of me drinking?” Solon was upset.
“Hmph! Barbarians who can’t taste wine! Yamaji ignored Solon, he poured the red wine into the six long-legged glasses placed on the coffee table, and then looked at Solon with a puzzled face and said: “Stupid, this wine should be drunk slowly, the slower you drink, the more you can feel the deliciousness of the wine!” ”
“Is that so?” Solon picked up the wine glass, looked at the bright red wine inside, and then took a sip in his mouth and slowly tasted it with the tip of his tongue.
In the next second, Solon’s body trembled, and he seemed to feel an electric current flowing through his body through the tip of his tongue, and then a refreshing feeling rushed to his brain, which was as if he was flying in the sky.
“Wow, Sanji, this wine is so delicious!”
Nami, Usopp and Kaiya couldn’t help but praise as well.
Hearing everyone’s praise, Sanji couldn’t help but become proud: “That’s, I’m a very good chef, how to drink to make the taste better is not a piece of cake for me?” ”
“Everyone, look, the auction is about to start!” Luffy held the wine glass and pointed to the display in front of him and said.
As soon as everyone listened, they all looked at the huge display screen playing the situation in the auction hall, and the flow of people gradually poured into the venue, and through the telephone worm, you could hear some noisy sounds.
At this time, the lights in the venue suddenly went out, and then a bright light shone from the round platform in the center of the venue.
The venue suddenly fell silent, and the dense crowd of people only heard the sound of breathing, and everyone knew that the auction was about to begin.
“I hope to buy a devil fruit this time.” Luffy looked at the round table in the display and muttered.
