Onmyoji of the Grand Line

The fourth is the Flower Kingdom in the West Blue. Five hundred years ago, it was a superpower established by two brothers who were super pirates. It had eight naval forces, numbered from one to eight. Among them, the pillar of the Happo Navy, Chinjao, is now a notorious monster on the sea. This shows that.

Just how powerful is the mastermind behind this auction? And why would such a big shot organize such an auction?

Seimei found it very strange, even quite surprising. He shook his folding fan, pondered for a moment, and murmured, "This is a very strange situation. Given their abilities, it shouldn't be like this."

Chapter 97: The Gathering of the Remnants of the Rocks Gang

What is the true purpose of this auction? The Kingdom of Giants, the Kingdom of Flowers, the Kingdom of Alabasta, and the Kingdom of Adam are not short of money or anything else. Moreover, this auction includes a large number of incredibly precious items, including Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits and Supreme Grade Swords. What is the purpose of this? This is a very strange matter.

"very funny."

Seimei's lips curled up, his fox-like eyes narrowed, and he murmured with amusement, "Things are getting more and more interesting. I'm very curious now about what they're trying to do. If it were just an auction, there would be no need for all this. This is getting more and more interesting!"

With a broad smile, Seimei was becoming increasingly interested in this auction. After all, it not only included the four superpowers, but also the three Dark Emperors! To put it bluntly, the Dark Emperors were the ultimate version of the underground emperors of the sea.

Underground emperors only have a large number of transactions to establish themselves in the new world. Although underground emperors are very rich, they are far inferior to the powerful and influential dark emperors who have connections in both the legal and illegal worlds.

Doflamingo and Tesoro were both growing up to become the Dark Emperor, but! They ran into a tiny problem. They provoked Luffy, the Straw Hat King, and ended up getting knocked away and sent to the Great Wall as guests, which was really embarrassing.

and!

The first of the three dark emperors is the five major mafia houses of the West Blue, which is Capone Becky's family. However, Becky is just a member of that family, and frankly, he's just a small fry. The real power hidden behind the scenes is the Elder Council, a coalition of the five major mafia houses, which rules everything.

The second is the Vinsmoke family of the North Sea. Just like Germa 2266, that is only a part of the external world established by Judge. As for the real Vinsmoke family? It is a top family that reigns supreme in the North Sea and can bring the entire North Sea under its control.

As for the third, there is a very mysterious dark emperor. They represent trade. Whether it is the Golden Island, the Sabaody Archipelago, Fishman Island, or Hatchinos, these islands all have their status behind them. They seem to control all the trade. They are very mysterious and very rich. The outside world calls them Gold! Just these two words already represent their enormous status.

Of course!

Seimei had reason to deduce that they were essentially controlled by the World Government, just like Stussy's identity. It could only be said that the results were similar, and they gave almost the same impression, appearing very similar.

"Hmm~"

With his eyes half-closed, he pondered quietly, and the night gradually passed. Seimei fell into a deep sleep. The next day, just as dawn broke, the hotel staff came to his door, bringing not only breakfast but also a letter.

"Hmm~"

Seimei unfolded his folding fan, savoring his breakfast, and asked, "White Wolf, who delivered the letter?"

White Wolf unfolded the letter, read it briefly, and said, "Lord Seimei, this was sent by Kaido. He said there's a gathering of former Rocks Pirates members tonight, right here. You can take a look."

Seimei took the letter, glanced at it, and nodded. Since it was an invitation to a banquet, he naturally had to attend; otherwise, he would look extremely embarrassed, or even terrified.

……

Night is falling!

Seimei, accompanied by Yaodao-hime, Shiro, and the hidden Fengli, went to a huge bar on the edge of Golden Island for a banquet. Although it was on the edge, the owner of the bar was a big shot. Whether he was a superpower or a dark emperor was unknown, his status was absolutely terrifying, and no one had ever dared to cause trouble there.

Over time, holding banquets here has become a prestigious event for various powerful groups, just like today, where the remnants of the Rocks Pirates have gathered again.

Golden Lion Shiki!

Whitebeard: Edward Newgate!

BIG MOM: Charlotte Linlin!

Captain Wang Zhi of Wufeng!

Battle Axe - Silver Axe!

John the Drunkard!

Kaido of the Beasts!

And! Kurozumi Seimei!

These once-famous figures from the Rocks Pirates have gathered here again, chatting casually, each accompanied by a small group of people.

Seimei naturally saw Kozuki Oden and Izo, who had come with Edward, and the atmosphere instantly became strange. Everyone else looked on with amusement, knowing that Wano Country originally belonged to the Kozuki clan, but now it had fallen into Seimei's hands.

So what exactly was the reason? It's beyond doubt; without exaggeration, Seimei definitely seized the entire Wano Country. Given that, everyone is very curious about how things will develop next.

"Whoo~~~"

Kozuki Oden exhaled a deep breath, suppressing his urge to act, and asked in a low voice, "Kurozumi Seimei! Tell me! Are they still alive? They..."

Although Kozuki Oden was almost certain that Kin'emon and the others were doomed, he still had to ask. They were his retainers, and if it was impossible to even be sure whether they were dead or not, that would be the most despairing thing!

Seimei smiled and said, "They are dead. Their heads were hung on the gates of the Flower Capital before, but they have been thrown away. Do you want revenge?"

Although he truly hadn't expected that Kozuki Oden and Izo would actually have a relationship with Edward, so what? He didn't care at all! If it were before, he would have needed to think about it more.

Now?

He had an arrogant attitude, what a joke! He had just obtained 30 Devil Fruits in the trade, and even if a war broke out now, he would not care at all about facing the Whitebeard Pirates. In fact, if Seimei were given more time, he could surpass the Rocks Pirates in three to five years.

Uh~~~

Of course!

That's definitely a joke, it's not that easy! To surpass the Rocks Pirates, the most fundamental thing is to have a strong person who can rival Captain Rocks, and obviously right now! No one here can do that. Although his resources are much richer, without shikigami, there's nothing he can do.

Crackling!

Kozuki Oden clenched his fists almost instinctively, his face extremely grim. In the end, however, he chose to give up. He gave Seimei a deep look, then lowered his fists. The matter was settled; he was giving up.

Izo also breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't do such a thing. With his current strength, revenge was far too difficult. He needed to have even greater power; otherwise, he wouldn't be qualified to seek revenge at all.

"Hehehe~~~"

With a faint chuckle, Seimei ignored Kozuki Oden and turned to say with amusement, "Whitebeard, I never imagined that Kozuki Oden and Izo would become people on your ship."

"Gulala~~~"

Edward laughed heartily, "They're all my family! Seimei, if you make a move here, I won't hold back!"

Seimei shook his head and said, "I have no interest. I have no intention of exterminating them. Killing the last remaining member of the Kozuki clan would not be a good thing. Besides, killing someone is not a difficult thing. What is difficult is making him feel endless despair. Wouldn't it be more interesting when Wano Country rejects him?"

"..."

"Hahahaha~~~"

Shiki laughed excitedly, "Seimei, you've become incredibly terrifying! Becoming the ruler of a country has truly changed you!"

at the same time!

Shiki continued in his nonchalant manner, "Seimei, are you really not planning to become my right-hand man?"

Honestly, this has become Shiki's obsession. He failed to recruit Kaido, he failed to recruit Seimei, and he failed to recruit Roger. It's really embarrassing to keep doing this, always being rejected. This makes Shiki very helpless.

Seimei smiled and shook his head, saying, "Sorry! I've already said that I have absolutely no interest in acknowledging someone else's subordinates. Besides, Golden Lion, you can't offer me a price that satisfies me, or rather, a price that can recruit me."

"cut!"

Shiki curled his lip, his eyes filled with disdainful arrogance, as if he didn't take anything seriously at all. But in his heart, he was slightly pondering whether he should go and cause trouble in Wano Country! Since you, Seimei, are so disrespectful to me, then of course I'll cause trouble. However, Shiki didn't know that this action almost cost him his life.

Of course!

After the nonsense, to put it bluntly, the gathering of pirates was purely about chatting and drinking, with everyone acting like big shots and fools. Everyone was already used to this, and then everyone started discussing something in twos and threes.

Kaido walked over and said, "Seimei, have you figured out who's behind this auction?"

Seimei glanced at Shiki and asked, "You're not interested in these things, are you?"

"cut!"

Kaido curled his lip and said, "I have absolutely no interest in who the boss is, but! I absolutely do not want those bastards to refuse to give me my Devil Fruit after we've already won the bid. That's something I cannot accept!"

Upon hearing this, Seimei exclaimed in admiration, "As expected! As expected of the future Yonko, Kaido is not an idiot, but a genuine person who considers many things very seriously."

In this situation, apart from Seimei who would consider who was behind it all, everyone else was just there to watch the spectacle at the auction and had no interest in the details whatsoever.

Seimei didn't hide anything and casually said, "The four superpowers and the three dark emperors are all involved behind the scenes this time, so you can rest assured."

Chapter 98: The Auction Begins! A Frenzied Scramble for Devil Fruits

The banquet ended just like that. For these remnants of the Rocks, it was mostly about getting together to drink. Although they didn't really miss the past, reminiscing a little didn't seem like a big deal.

Day two!

The auction officially began. Seimei went to the auction house, where a high-class private room had been prepared. After all, for a big shot like Seimei, let alone the fact that he was a member of the Rocks Pirates or some other big shot, Seimei was the real shogun of Wano Country, a status that was very worthy of attention.

For the vast ocean, Wano Country is a very special and strange country. Although it is closed off from the world, it possesses extremely terrifying and powerful strength. Naturally, the auction house's behind-the-scenes boss would not provoke such a country.

"Everyone!"

"The auction is now open!"

As the auction began, initially, the items were mostly precious treasures or rare gems, which were largely worthless and favored by the so-called nobles. True powerhouses, however, preferred more refined items, such as powerful Devil Fruits or renowned swords and blades.

"Hmm~"

Fengli's figure suddenly appeared, and he shook his head, saying, "Lord Qingming, I cannot go deep into the auction house. There are many powerful people there. If I were to force my way in, they would probably discover me instantly."

Seimei nodded and said, "In that case, let's leave it at that. This matter is not important. Let's wait and see. I'm quite curious about what the next auction is all about."
