Human Auction Shop, Groove 1....
Currently, Disco the auctioneer is auctioning something hidden behind a white curtain.
"This time is our special item!"
Then a certain silhouette is seen from behind the curtain after the light is shining.
"Look at this silhouette! Many men surely wanted this item!"
""""Oohh!""""
Seeing that silhouette, many nobles were quite amazed and speculated.
Disco smiled at their reaction.
"Okay! No need to linger anymore, please see for yourself!"
Disco then opened the white curtain that covered it!
"Straight from Fishman Island! It's Camie the mermaid!"
And when the curtains opened, what was there was a big round aquarium with a mermaid looking confined in it!
Seeing this, the nobles present in this auction hall grew even noisier.
"Ooohhh!!!"
"It's a mermaid!"
"That's a real mermaid!"
"Young mermaid!"
Meanwhile, Nami and her group are also shocked!
"Camie! It's Camie!
Hacchi shouted!
"All right! We'll bring her back! We've got 200 million for that!"
Nami said ready to compete in bidding.
Camie who was in the aquarium on the stage saw Nami and the others in the distance.
"It's Hacchin and the others! They came to save me!"
Camie felt a little relieved.
But suddenly....
"500 MILLION!!! .... I'll paid 500 million!!!!"
A Tenryuubito, Saint Charloss, immediately bid 500 million for Camie!
Hearing Saint Charloss' statement, the people were dumbfounded.
"A...."
Disco the auctioneer was stunned speechless.
"Hah~.... We don't have a chance...."
Several nobles who wanted to bid for Camie gave up after hearing 500 million being called.
""""Eh....?""""
Nami's group was dumbfounded.
".... W-What was that...!? We don't have that much money!"
Nami said still shocked.
"Is there nothing we can do!? Is there no other way!? We're not going to stand still, are we!? Are we going to let that guy take our friend because he has more money!? Sanji!?"
Chopper was also confused and somewhat panicked asking Sanji.
".... This is bad. We didn't expect it to turn out like this. We rely on money to solve problems. But the situation got out of hand before we could act."
Sanji grimly said.
"Nyuu.... If I don't have a choice, I will take Camie and quickly carry her away into the sea!"
Hacchi is also gloomy and he decides to be desperate if the situation gets worse.
"Don't be stupid! What about the collar!? Camie could explode later!"
Pappag rebukes Hacchi who intends to be reckless.
"Then... we have to find the key!"
Hacchi still didn't give up.
But Lepus then chuckled and said calmly.
"Hehaha.... Don't worry, Nami-chan.... You'll be able to get Camie back...."
"Huh? What do you mean, Lepus-san!? We don't have 500 million!"
Nami is still tense and confused.
"I'm not saying this will end with money.... There will be more interesting things later.... Trust me."
Lepus smirked.

Not long after, Disco finally knocked the hammer and Camie was decided to be sold for 500 million by the Tenryuubito Saint Charloss.
But suddenly....
*braakkkk
The door of the auction hall was smashed!
And there was a flying fish lying there.
"What the hell is that!? Can't it land any better!?"
A young man in a straw hat, Luffy, protested the landing was too rough.
"How can that be!? It's a flying fish! Not for in land! And you yourself who said to break right in!"
The member of the Flying Fish Riders who escorted Luffy protested back.
Nami's group was quite surprised by Luffy's flashy arrival.
The other people in the hall, including the other pirates were the same.
"That's the Straw Hat...."
Kidd said curtly.
"...."
Law just glanced and smiled a little.
"Oh.... It's about time."
Lepus smirked.
"Ah! Camie! I'll save you!"
Meanwhile, Luffy who saw Camie on stage, didn't care about anything else and was about to run towards the stage!
Hacchi rushed to stop him.
"W-Wait, Straw Hat! What are you doing!?"
"What do you mean!? Camie is there!"
"I know that too! But Camie's still wearing explosive collars! We can't just take her away! And there's a Tenryuubito involved here!"
"What do I care!"
Luffy still doesn't care and struggles to get away from Hacchi.
And then, the nobles realized that Hacchi was a Fish-Man and they screamed and said discriminatory.
Hacchi, who panicked because of this, accidentally let Luffy go and so Luffy ran towards the stage.
But suddenly....
*dorr
There was a gunshot!
Saint Charloss shot Hacchi!
People, especially Luffy and Nami's group as well as Camie were very shocked and surprised!
But Saint Charloss didn't care about anything else and instead jumped around because he thought that he got a new slave for free because he was 'hunting' him himself.
Seeing this, Luffy looked gloomy and angry!
Luffy then walked towards Saint Charloss and clearly intended to do something.
But, then Hacchi stop him and persuade him.
"Strawhat! Don't!"
Even so, in the end Luffy still didn't care.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Luffy hits Saint Charloss! Luffy punched furiously and was strong enough to knock Saint Charloss away!
Seeing that, people were also very wide-eyed and dumbfounded!
Only the 3 Pirate Captains, Kidd, Law, and Lepus, seemed to be grinning.
Seeing his son being beaten by a 'lower creature', Saint Roswald was furious and ordered that the Admiral be brought in!
A big incident happened and trouble is coming!
