Little Giant

The night passed peacefully. On the second day, Locke took Luce with him to stroll around the Sabaody Archipelago for half a day before bringing him to the auction house where the Sabaody Archipelago was located.

Today, Locke was wearing a casual black shirt, black underpants, and a double-man word mop with a long sword hanging from his waist. He looked young and handsome and had a sense of fashion. Luce looked at Locke, who was wearing her bought clothes and felt extremely happy.

Along the way, Lu Si looked like a love-struck fool. The two of them walked slowly to the entrance of the auction house. "Sir, hello." The security guard at the door politely blocked Locke's way. "For today's auction, you must show your property certificate." Locke looked at the security guard in surprise.

"Property certificate?" As a big pirate, he didn't think he would have any property certificate. Rose looked at the security guard unhappily and took out a stack of Locke's bounty. "Show me who the man in front of you is!" Rose took out a bounty of Locke's and directly slapped it on the security guard's face.

The security guard picked up the bounty and glanced at it. He immediately fell to the ground in fear. "Luo, Luo, Locke!" Rose glanced at the security guard, who fell to the ground in fear and snorted. She held Locke's arm and walked in directly. The security guard trembled as he looked at the bounty in his hand.

"Big, big pirate Locke, he logged into the Sabaody Archipelago! No! We have to inform the upper echelons! We can't lose today's auction!" As he spoke, the security guard supported himself with the wall and quickly ran towards the auction house's office.

Locke brought Luce to a quiet corner of the auction house and sat down. He received the auction list from the female service staff and looked at it. "Oh? There's a big fast knife auction?" When he saw that there was a large knife auction on the auction list, Locke was interested.

Besides the large knife, Locke also saw something else that interested him. And what interested him the most was the devil fruit and a strange giant. It was strange because, under the introduction of the giant, this giant was only six meters tall. He was only short compared to giants that were more than twenty meters tall.

He was called a giant because the slave-catching team had gone through many hardships to catch him in the new world's Giant Kingdom. The information detailed the appearance of the other party, and at the same time, it also stated that this short giant had terrifying power.

According to the slave-catching team, this small giant had the power to carry a fifty-meter-long warship easily. Locke came today because he suddenly saw a report about this small giant in the newspaper last night and brought Luce over.

Time slowly passed, and more and more people gathered in the auction house. Soon, the entire auction house was filled with people. "Saint Andrew has arrived! Everyone, kneel and greet him!" As Locke and Luce waited for the auction to begin, a sharp voice sounded from the door.

After hearing this, everyone in the auction hall stood up and knelt on the ground. No matter their identities, they were not worth mentioning in front of the Celestial Dragons. The person in charge of the auction hall was extremely attentive as he followed An Te, Flying Saint, and introduced the items for today's auction to him.

Locke and Rose, sitting in the quiet corner, did not make any other movements. They only quietly watched the fat man wearing a glass cover and a spacesuit slowly walk to the front and sit down.

"Alright, Brandd, hurry up and start the auction! I can't wait to see that giant!" Ante Feilu said to Brandd, the person in charge of the auction. Upon hearing the words of the Celestial Dragon, Ante Feilu, Brandde cupped his hands and nodded in agreement.

He quickly ran to the auction platform and announced the start of the auction. The people kneeling on the ground also got up and returned to their seats, chatting happily. "Is that the Celestial Dragons? They look disgusting."

Rose looked at the fat and fat body of the Celestial Dragons, An Te and Feilu, and said somewhat disgustedly. "Well, Bi is a group of pampered trash." Locke did not have a good impression of the Celestial Dragons either.

"Alright, gentlemen, ladies! I am very honored to be able to meet you here today." Brandde began a passionate opening speech. "Finally, let us warmly welcome you. An Te, Feilu Saint, can come to our Fragrant Wave Auction House!"

As he spoke, he took the lead and started clapping fiercely. Under his lead, the entire auction venue burst into applause. An Te, Flying Saint, sat in his seat proudly. In his heart, all of this was a matter of course. 

The applause lasted for half an hour before it slowly calmed down. When the applause completely subsided, Reed finally announced the start of the auction.

"Alright, now, let us begin the auction!"

"First, let's get the first item of the auction!"

"The twin sisters from the Long Clan!"

"As the Long Clan of the rare species, this pair of sisters are the most beautiful in this generation!"

"The starting price is five million, Bailey!" After Brandde finished introducing them, a pair of incomparably beautiful girls trembled in fear and walked onto the auction stage with a face full of despair under the pushing of the security personnel. When they saw the appearance of the pair of sisters, the eyes of all the men present immediately flickered.

"I bid 5.5 million, Bailey!"

"Hmph! I bid 6 million, Bailey!"

"Bastard! This pair of sisters is mine! I bid 8 million, Bailey!" Not long later, the price of this pair of sisters was auctioned off at the cost of 13 million Bailey, and a fat and ugly man bought it. The fat and ugly man happily paid the money, took the sisters away, and brought them to his side. Looking at the sisters, his eyes were full of desire. 

After the appetizer ended, many good auction items were auctioned individually, and all of them were won by the rich. Finally, under the expectant gaze of Locke, an incomparably beautiful long saber was moved into the auction house.

"The next item for auction is a famous saber brought out by our auction house after many hardships. It is said that there are countless warriors in the country!"

"The great saber ranked twenty-first in the great saber, Moon Slashing!"

"That's right! It is the great saber that all the Sword Masters dream of!"

"Alright! Let's start now! The starting price is thirty million, Bailey!" As soon as Brandd finished speaking, the entire auction hall fell into an uproar. It didn't matter whether he was a Sword Master or not. After all, it was not a common thing to have a great saber as a collection.

"I bid 35 million!"

"40 million!"

"50 million!" As more and more people participated in the bidding, Zhan Yue's price soared. Locke looked at the pitch-black saber, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Rose felt Locke's fondness, and she directly raised the bidding row.

"One hundred million, Bailey!" The entire auction venue fell silent as Rose finished her words. Although collecting a large knife was a matter of pride, in their eyes, it was not worth spending a hundred million to get him.

Reed jumped up in excitement after receiving a hundred million from Louise. "That lady bids a hundred million! Is there anyone who bids higher?"

"A hundred million going at once! Two times! Three times!"

"Congratulations to the beautiful lady for obtaining one of the twenty-one great fast blades in this world, Moon Slayer! Let us congratulate her!" Soon, the service staff brought Moon Slayer to Rose. Rose took Moon Slayer and handed it to Locke.

"Here! Locke, this is my gift to you!" Locke took Moon and pulled him out of the scabbard. The pitch-black blade, the swastika gauntlets, and the slender blade looked extremely beautiful.

"A perfect gift. I like it very much. Thank you, Luce." After putting the long blade back into the scabbard, Locke thanked Luce. Luce happily paid the bill and looked at Locke with a satisfied expression.

"Hehe, as long as you like it." After Moon Slasher had finished the auction and received the auction fee, another few items were auctioned off. Finally, it was time for the last few items to be auctioned. Brando looked at everyone, who had become even more excited.

"Alright! Next is the auction item everyone has been looking forward to for a long time! The secret treasure of the sea! The rare and precious devil fruit!"

"This is a devil's fruit. Even among the devil fruits, it is a rare animal type ancient devil fruit! Sword dragon form!"

"Eat it. Whether you are a man or a woman, you can instantly become an ability user and an expert who can easily control the lives of others!"

"Well, everyone! Let's start your bidding now! The starting price is one hundred million, Bailey!" As soon as Brandde finished speaking, the entire auction house went wild. Many people dressed as pirates began to threaten the others.

However, no one present cared if the other party was a pirate. They still paid a crazy price regardless of the cost, wanting to put the devil's fruit into their pockets. Soon, the starting price of the devil fruit of one hundred million Bailey had been raised to five hundred million Bailey. Locke smiled at the people in the venue. 

"Luce, remember who got the devil's fruit in the end."

"Haha! Don't worry! Locke, my memory is perfect!" In the end, the devil fruit was taken by a man who looked like a noble at the high price of 800 million Bailey. All the pirates present looked at the nobleman.

The nobleman didn't care about those eyes. He even looked at the pirates and casually threw the devil fruit to the guards behind him. It told the pirates that they wanted a fruit that could be discarded at will in this older man's eyes.

Locke did not care about the provocation of the nobleman. He could not wait to see the end of this nobleman. The noise brought by the devil fruit slowly subsided after the auction ended.

"Finally, let's get the last item! Giant from the Giant Kingdom, the giant of AluBafu!"

"Although the Giant Tribe is only six meters tall, it has more power than ordinary giants!"

"If you get him, you will have an incomparably powerful bodyguard, slave, and servant!"

"Alright, I won't say much more about reading and talking nonsense! I will show you the items. You can see for yourselves."

"The auction begins now. The starting price is 500 million, Bailey!" As soon as Brandde finished speaking, a tall and sturdy man with a bare upper body, full of explosive muscles, whose entire body was bound by iron chains, with a ferocious and crazy look, was pushed onto the stage by more than ten security guards.

"Roar"

"You bunch of despicable people!" The man kept roaring and roaring at everyone present. However, he had been injected with a sedative and had no power to break free from the chains that bound him.

Locke smiled when he saw this little giant. "Not a bad momentum. I want this guy."
