Auction House III

"..."

Lami had a blank expression as she stared at Alexia who transformed into a ferocious Quetzalcoatl before her very eyes. It seems the fruit that Alexia has eaten was the Mythical Zoan type the Ryu Ryu no Mi model: Quetzalcoatl.

' Has this girl been affected by Amelia?' thought Lami as she watched the transformation. " This was meant to be a stealth mission, Alexia", said Lami as she looked up at Alexia.

" Woeps, I had no idea I was going to transform right away," responded Alexia in an apologetic tone while Lami sighed and looked turned toward the CP agents and the Vice-Admiral who were standing by the exit.

" I'm guessing you guys are also here for this," spoke Lami as she waved around the Cold Cold fruit in her hand.

The agents were taken aback by Lami's sudden appearance and her possession of the Cold Cold fruit.

*Pereperepere* the tension in the room was broken by the sudden ringing of the den-den mushi of one of the agents.

The agents quickly answered the call and Lami observed their expressions change from confusion to urgency.

*click* " Is the fruit in your possession?" the voice on the call asked. Lami raised her eyebrows in curiosity upon hearing the question.

The agents has a sweat drop on their forehead as they replied on the call "No sir, it seems that someone else has gotten hold of it before we did."

There was a moment of silence as the voice on the call processed the information. " Do you need reinforcements?" asked the voice on the call.

Lami couldn't help but give off a smirk as she heard the word " reinforcements". She knew that they were probably talking to someone high up in the Marines, possibly an Admiral.

" It seems so as one of the culprits may be a Mythical Zoan user," responded the agents on the call.

" I see, no need to worry you should try and hold off the culprits until the warships arrive they're already on the way," ordered the voice on the call.

The agents nodded and dropped the call and turned toward Lami and Alexia, who were watching the situation unfold with interest.

Lami took a fighting stance as she saw the agents prepare for battle. "Looks like we'll have to take them down," stated Lami confidently, cracking her knuckles.

" Lami step back I want to try something," spoke Alexia in her dragon transformation. Lami quickly moved a safe distance away, watching Alexia in anticipation as she prepared to unleash her powers.

Alexia opened her mouth and shot out a powerful wind that caused shockwaves to ripple through the air.

The agents were blasted off by the shockwaves leaving only the Vice-Admiral standing. ' How in hell are we supposed to take them down if they have a dragon on their side?' he thought to himself in panic.

Lami smirked in satisfaction as she saw the Vice-Admiral in panic.

The wind blast that Alexia unleashed caused shockwaves that made their way into the auction house, shattering all the windows and leaving everyone in a panic.

" I think someone just attacked the auction house!" shouted one of the guards as he ran toward the alarm and rang it.

The auction house was in chaos as everyone tried to flee for their lives. The roof collapsed and everyone in the auction house was shocked when the figure of a green dragon with golden eyes appeared.

Lami and Alexia looked at each other, knowing that they had caused quite a scene. " We should probably get our crewmates and leave," commented Lami as she looked around at the chaos they have caused to which Alexia nodded.

' Kaido-sama,' thought the members of the Tobi Toppo as they watched the chaos in fear. They knew whoever was responsible for the chaos was not to be taken lightly, they were right.

The notorious pirates who were present in the auction house all became alert of the giant figure of the green dragon with golden eyes and knew that they were witnessing the power of a legendary mythical creature.

They realized that it meant that the Mythical Zoan has been stolen and eaten by someone.

Some of the pirates exchanged looks of awe while some especially the Yonko representatives wanted to capture the Dragon and hand it over to their respective captains.

Little did they know that Lami and her crew are not to be messed with.

Ulti saw the chaos as an opening to steal the fruit she was bidding for so she launched herself toward the front of the auction house to obtain the fruit.

" Hiken!" shouted Ace as he appeared out of nowhere and sent a fist made of flames into Ulti, sending her flying back. However, Ulti took to take an attack like it was nothing as she got on her feet and transformed into a big Dinosaur ready to fight Ace.

" That hurts you arinsu," spoke Ulti in a menacing tone as she charged at Ace, ready for a fight. Ace was taken back for a moment, but then he also transformed into his Fire Form and got into a battle stance ready to face Ulti.

Page One also transformed into a Dinosaur and he decided to charge toward the dragon with golden eyes, ready to take down the powerful creature. However, he was met with a pair of katanas blocking his path.

It was Azula, one of the crewmembers of Ace who was famous for her swift and lethal swordsmanship. She stood there, her katanas crossed in front of her as she stared down Page One.

Page One was left confused by the actions of the female sword fighter. " Why are you getting in my way?" asked Page One in a growling voice.

" Sorry but I'm the one who is going to slay the Dragon," replied Azula with a confident grin on her face.

Alexia was shocked by the sudden statement of this young lady as she has never met her before. " It seems someone has an interest in you, my dear Dragon," said Lami with a faint smile on her lips.

Alexia turned toward Azula and Page One before she spoke, " You don't need to fight amongst yourselves, I'll take you two both at the same time," she said it a bold and confident tone as she moved her huge form toward them ready to defend herself.

The ground trembled beneath her feet as she charged toward Azula and Page One, ready to prove that no one can defeat the Dragon.

Lami turned to the Vice-Admiral who was the only one standing, " Since you came for this fruit, how about I give you a chance to obtain it?" Lami offered the Vice-Admiral with a sly smile on her face.

The Vice-Admiral looked at Lami with suspicion, knowing that everything comes at a price in the world of pirates. "What's your offer?" asked the Vice-Admiral in a serious tone.

" Defeat me and you obtain it," replied Lami, her tone confident and daring.

" How will I know you won't eat it the moment you fail to defeat me?" asked the Vice-Admiral in suspicion.

Lami's smile turned into a frown, " Don't underestimate me," she replied as she realized a blast of her Haoshoku Haki that made the Vice-Admiral gasp for air.

' Nanda? Haoshoku? This woman is dangerous,' thought the Vice-Admiral as he realized Lami's true strength.

" My name is Vice-Admiral Fujimura and I'll be your opponent," he said as he unsheathed his sword and moved forward to attack.

Lami grinned in response and blocked his attack with ease the clash of their weapons echoed through the air as they continued to trade blows.

The auction house turned into a battlefield as three battles were undergoing simultaneously each one filled with adrenaline.

The spectators were running for their lives trying to find safety amidst the chaos. The woman that was wearing a cowboy hat was caught in a shockwave that sent her crashing into the ground.

Her identity was accidentally revealed as her hat fell off and long black hair flowed out of it. ' Nico Robin!' thought some of the notorious pirates who were able to recognize her.

Nico Robin stoop up and dusted her clothes and tried to run toward the exit, but she was blocked by a tall figure that was wearing a red suit and he had horns.

" Nico Robin, I presume, the young master will be truly pleased if I brought you along," spoke one of the Tobi Roppo Who's Who as he stood in front of her with a sinister smile.

Robin was in a panic as she realized that her cover has been blown and she has no way to escape.

Lami who saw this interaction from across the room quickly turned toward Amelia and Olivia and ordered, " Protect that woman at all cost!"

Amelia and Olivia nodded in agreement and quickly moved toward Nico Robin to give her cover.
