I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 122 Slave Girl Crane

Sabaody Archipelago, Island Number One.

This is the largest lawless area in the entire Sabaody Archipelago, and also the venue for the largest human auction in the Sabaody Archipelago.

At this moment, inside a cage.

"Even though I know this is to join the White Wolf Pirates with a 'legal' identity, it's really not a happy feeling."

"Calm down."

A man's voice rang out from the cell next to him.

"We can at least guarantee your safety before you board the merchant ship. Although not everyone on that ship is one of ours, the first mate is our hidden intelligence agent. With him there, you will be safe until you reach the Sphinx."

"I hope so."

The girl with the dark blue ponytail took a deep breath. She wanted to calm down, but as a cadet who wasn't even a formal naval soldier, she was suddenly involved in this level of undercover activity.

The pressure is considerable.

Moreover, her experiences along the way were completely different from what she had imagined. Even though the Navy Headquarters was right next to her, there was such a large population auction center on the Sabaody Archipelago.

The fact that the Navy Headquarters was able to arrange for her to be included in this auction and protect her safety suggests that the Navy also had people planted at this auction, and there might even be some kind of business dealings involved.

But the crane is not some hot-blooded fool.

She knew very well that light was often accompanied by shadows. Perhaps the Navy had some unavoidable difficulties in leaving this auction center behind, perhaps it was due to the corruption of the higher-ups, or perhaps this auction center had some function that she was unaware of.

He tried his best to think in an optimistic direction.

"Tsuru, when you agreed to participate in this mission, you became a formal naval soldier. You are destined to encounter many things that are completely contrary to your understanding, but there is only one thing you must not forget."

"You are a Marine; it is your duty to drive out pirates and protect civilians!"

"Never forget your principles!"

The voice of the Chief of Naval Staff seemed to echo in his ears, and Crane's expression gradually calmed down.

"What good stuff has been delivered this time?"

"They were a mother and child giant. They were originally bought by a caravan to work as laborers, but the caravan owner felt that the female giant was much weaker than the male giant, and the smaller one was small but had a big appetite, making it too troublesome to raise."

"Hehe, she's a female giant after all. It would be a different story if she were a mermaid. Female mermaids are worth dozens of times more than male mermaids!"

"Sigh, I don't know what's wrong with those pirates and slave-catching teams lately. They haven't caught a single mermaid, and those big shots up there have been complaining about it for a long time."

"Who says otherwise? I heard it's because the White Wolf Pirates showed up on Fishman Island. That damned pirate crew is always picking on us!"

"real or fake?"

"."

The conversation between the two auction staff members, seemingly oblivious to their surroundings, caused He and the naval intelligence officer beside her to exchange subtle glances.

"The White Wolf Pirates actually showed up on Fishman Island? That means they might have stopped by the Sabaody Archipelago on their way!"

The naval intelligence personnel were visibly excited.

"Tsuru, your chance has come. If the White Wolf Pirates come to the Sabaody Archipelago, given their usual practices, they will likely crack down on the human trafficking industry here. Then you can use a more legitimate way to get to the Sphinx!"

Having been at the auction center for a day, this naval intelligence agent was unaware that the White Wolf Pirates had already appeared in Impel Down.

If the White Wolf Pirates rescued Tsuru while visiting the Sabaody Archipelago, then it would be perfectly logical for Tsuru to want to join the White Wolf Pirates to repay their kindness.

"Why would the White Wolf Pirates fight against human trafficking!?"

Crane understood every word the intelligence agent spoke, but when put together, something felt off to her. What did it mean that the White Wolf Pirates would crack down on the human trafficking industry every time they came to the Sabaody Archipelago?
"."

Tsuru's question silenced the naval intelligence officer beside her. He hadn't thought much of it before, but now that he did, he wondered, "Why is that?"

Shouldn't this be their navy's job?
"By the way, although the White Wolf Pirates are cracking down on human traffickers, it's only because their vice-captain, Roya, was once a slave, which makes the entire White Wolf Pirates hate human traffickers. It doesn't mean they are a harmless gang."

Navy intelligence personnel explained.

"That's why we're sending you to the Sphinx as a slave, because being a slave makes it easier to gain acceptance within the White Wolf Pirates."

".I see."

Crane reluctantly agreed with this statement, but as far as she knew, there were many people who had been slaves but became human traffickers after gaining freedom, and the White Wolf Pirates were considered an anomaly among them.

She might become one of them in the future?
Crane pondered how she could gain the trust of the other members of the White Wolf Pirates if she became a crew member.

the most important.

It was about gaining Monger's trust.

Just as He was pondering, she suddenly heard someone exclaim beside her.

"We just received a notification that a Celestial Dragon will be participating in this auction, and we are told to make sure to list out our best items!"

"Haha, it looks like we're going to make a fortune this time."

"Unfortunately, there are no mermaids."

"."

The auction staff were a mix of surprise and disappointment. They didn't treat the Celestial Dragons with any respect. The only reason these villains had to bow down was because the Celestial Dragons were incredibly wealthy!

Any product that catches their eye will definitely fetch a high price!

Celestial Dragons!?

If the arrival of the Celestial Dragons was a pleasant surprise for the auction house staff, then for Tsuru and the naval intelligence officer next to her, it was pure terror.

"Damn it, why are the Celestial Dragons here? There was no notification from above."

The middle-aged naval intelligence officer's expression had changed.

Under the control of their navy, there are not many entities that they can call variables, but the Celestial Dragons definitely qualify as variables.

They are the true masters of this world, the world's nobles whom even their navy has to bow down to.

"He, the plan is canceled!"

The middle-aged naval intelligence officer did not hesitate at all.

"If it's a regular competitor, even if our navy can't compete, we have enough capability to snatch you back from the opponent."

"But the Celestial Dragons are different."

"Once they set their sights on you, even we won't be able to fight against the Celestial Dragons for you!"

However, just as he was preparing to escape with the crane using the spare key.

Another voice sounded.

"It's...it's White King Munger!"

Terrified cries echoed in the auction center's preparation room.

"He's at the auction house!"
