One Piece: Starting with God Valley, intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

"Do you really think that after selling slaves for so many years, I can't even set a price?"

It has to be said that Disco is definitely a natural-born host; he's truly mastered the art of building suspense. After hearing his words, the onlookers exchanged bewildered glances, and someone couldn't help but ask,

"What's so special about these two kids?"

Disco had been waiting for this very question. He grinned and said,

"Let me introduce my product first. This pair of sisters, the younger one is called Sugar. Well, she's just an ordinary little girl, but if you add her older sister, things are different..."

As he spoke, Disco glanced at his sister in the cage and said,

"Her older sister is named Monet, and she is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user with the Snow-Snow Fruit ability!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an uproar erupted around him.

Keep in mind that this is the Red Line Continent. In the parlance of Blue Star, these people are living right under the emperor's nose. Naturally, they are not like people in some remote sea areas who have never even seen a Devil Fruit user.

They've seen plenty of ability users and slaves here, but this is the first time they've seen a Logia-type ability user!

After all, there are only a few types of natural elements, so the corresponding Devil Fruits are naturally quite rare.

In addition, with figures like Gigantomachia and Akainu serving as "representatives" of this series of Devil Fruits in recent years, Logia-type Devil Fruits have established an impression of being supreme and unparalleled in the minds of most people, and are widely recognized as the most powerful type.

So when they learned that Monet was actually a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, they were indeed tempted, but also hesitant. After all, Logia-type Devil Fruit users are not easy to control. What if they grow up and kill their master? They can't keep him restrained with Seastone forever, can they?

Disco had anticipated these buyers' concerns. He chuckled, pointed at Sugar, and said...

"Everyone, let me emphasize again, Sugar is just a regular kid~ Buy one get one free~"

Chapter 210 The Celestial Dragons are here!

Disco's meaning couldn't be clearer: he could use sugar to control Monet.

In fact, the pirates who captured the Monet sisters didn't even know Haki; they just threatened Monet into surrendering by capturing Sugar.

The funny thing is, after selling the Monet sisters to Disco, the pirates got carried away with the money and were quickly defeated by another group of pirates, who then slaughtered them all.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers immediately relaxed. Those who had just looked disgusted were now scrambling to bid. There were quite a few wealthy people living here, and many could afford two hundred million Berries.

The Monet sisters had already become hot commodities, and Disco naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to make a fortune, so he held an auction on the spot.

Each bid increased by five million Berries, and soon the price of the Monet sisters was raised to two hundred and thirty million Berries.

Dix used his hand as an auctioneer's gavel, striking the cage beside him with each strike producing a crisp, resounding sound.

Inside the cage, Monet clutched Sugar tightly in his arms, his body trembling uncontrollably, his eyes filled with helplessness as he watched everything unfold.

Dix stood motionless, his right hand transforming into an incredibly hard auction hammer, relentlessly striking the cold, solid cage beside him. Each strike produced a crisp, resounding sound, as if it could shatter the entire world.

Inside the cage, Monet clutched Sugar tightly in his arms, his body trembling slightly. His beautiful, captivating eyes were now filled with endless fear and despair as he helplessly gazed at everything unfolding before him.

The bidding stopped only when the price reached 280 million Berries.

Using 280 million Berries to buy slaves was too extravagant; even the person who quoted that price was now somewhat regretting it.

Disco felt it was about time; the price had exceeded his expectations. After waiting a short while, he raised his hand to close the deal.

Suddenly, a deep voice rang out from the crowd.

"Three hundred million Berries, I'll take these two."

The sound wasn't loud, but it sounded like a thunderclap to everyone. Everyone's eyes widened, and those around Jig consciously dispersed, making room for him.

Disco looked at Giger, swallowed hard, and said,

"Sir, was it you who offered 300 million Berries?"

"What? You think I can't afford this price?"

Giger raised an eyebrow, a cold glint flashing across his brown-tinted glasses. Disco felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He leaned against the cage behind him in terror, his body covered in cold sweat.

Disco immediately realized that the young man in front of him, whose face he couldn't see, was someone he couldn't afford to mess with.

However, this is, after all, the Red Earth Continent, and no one dares to cause trouble here. Thinking of this, Disco wiped the cold sweat from his brow, forced a smile, and rubbed his hands together, saying...

"You misunderstand. I just wanted to confirm. As you know, there were so many bidders just now that I couldn't tell who was bidding, could I?"

Giger responded calmly.

"Yes."

"Okay, when are you planning to make the payment?"

Three hundred million Berries is no small amount. In the world of One Piece, the highest denomination of paper money is ten thousand Berries, so three hundred million Berries means you would need thirty thousand bills.

Giger appeared to be empty-handed, clearly unable to pay immediately.

Giger said nothing, and with a casual wave of his hand, a flash of black light appeared, and to everyone's astonishment, bundles of pele appeared out of thin air and crashed down in front of Disco.

Disco was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. Looking at the pile of Pele in front of him, he first showed a greedy look, but then hesitated.

In his opinion, Giger was definitely a Devil Fruit user, and he was afraid that these Berries were created by Giger.

After all, there are all sorts of Devil Fruits, and there might be one that can turn you into a Beli.

However, Gigg was already getting impatient and was about to make a move when someone suddenly shouted from the street.

"The Celestial Dragons! The Celestial Dragons are here!!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and they all turned to look at the street.

A group of people were slowly walking towards them, with a guy wearing a bubble headgear in the middle.

He sat upright on the back of a burly, imposing man, his arrogant demeanor palpable even from a distance.

As he arrived, people on both sides of the street immediately knelt down.

The people around Jig also knelt down in unison, making Jig, who was still standing in place, stand out.

Disco didn't want anything to happen to his important client, so he knelt down and reminded him.

"Kneel down now! You'll die if you don't!"

Giger stood ramrod straight, looking down at Disco, and said calmly,

"The money is here, I'm taking the person with me."

After saying that, Giger walked to the cage and tore it open with his bare hands.

Inside, Monet stared blankly at Giger; in her eyes, the man before her was simply audacious.

Sugar lifted her head from Monet's embrace and timidly looked at Giger.

Almost everyone in the One Piece world knows about the Celestial Dragons, and during her time being captured, Monet learned more about them from other slaves.

She knew what would happen to an ordinary person if they didn't kneel before a Celestial Dragon.

Even though Giger was dressed rather conservatively, his tall, slender figure and unique charisma still caught Monet's attention from the very beginning.

While the group was gossiping about her sisters, only Gigue remained silent, which left a very good impression on Monet.

Looking at Giger in front of him, Monet couldn't help but whisper a reminder.

"Kneel down now! The Celestial Dragons are coming soon!"

Giger gazed down at Monet in silence, then slowly bent down.

Seeing Giger's actions, Monet breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking that Giger was about to kneel down.

However, Giger simply placed his hand on the sea stone shackles on Monet's wrist.

Seeing this, Disco was completely stunned. Before he could figure out why Giger was able to touch the Seastone safely, Giger's hand trembled slightly.

The next second, with a crisp click, the shackles made of sea stone fell to the ground.

Monet stared blankly at his freed hands, unable to believe that the shackles, which seemed to possess a magical power, had been removed.

Disco's pupils contracted, and he instinctively sprang to his feet, lunging towards Monet and shouting.

"Quick, cuff her! Don't let her escape!"

"boom!"

After a gunshot, Disco fell to the ground.

Chapter 211 Even the Heavenly Dragon has its shortcomings

"Ahhhh!!!"

Disco clutched his arm, rolling on the ground in pain.

Giger didn't even glance at the disco on the ground. He calmly looked down at Monet and said indifferently,

"If you try to run away, you'll have to bear the consequences."

White snowflakes began to fall around Monet, but as soon as Giger finished speaking, the snowflakes instantly melted into the air. Her body trembled violently, and she nodded stiffly.

Giger slowly stood up and turned to look.

The Celestial Dragons are very close now, holding a smoking golden flintlock pistol; that was the one who fired the shot just now.

Gigg could not remember the names of many of the Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land, but he recognized the ones who came this time.

This Celestial Dragon's name is Saint Roswald, the father of Saint Charlos, who was later punched in the face by Luffy on Sabaody Archipelago.
