"Give me the best drink you have!"
Akira asked the bartender as soon as he entered the bar.
"Then you should try our famous Blue Lantern Cocktail!"
The bartender called out with a confident smile, and soon after, he served a blue lantern cocktail.
"A special drink with the same name as your bar? huh."
Akira took a sip, found it was a bizarre and tasty drink, and nodded with satisfaction.
For pirates, eating meat and drinking alcohol is a normal lifestyle.
Akira picked up the glass and drank a big mouthful of blue lantern cocktail.
He only has to drink it in an immense amount to feel it.
"Haaa! it really tastes good!"
Akira took a deep breath after he drank and praised.
"Have you heard that there will be a good collection of vintage wines in the auction?"
"Huh?! It's worth ten million, Bellies! something we cannot afford!"
"Ten million?! I think you're just hallucinating! Ten million is only the starting number! These vintage wines at least will be sold for 100 million bellies."
The pirates in the bar kept talking about the auction loudly.
"It's nonsense! One hundred million bellies are enough to buy a devil fruit! who would spend 100 million bellies for a wine?!"
"Hmph! I know you poor bastards don't believe it. These are just sold to the rich pirates and nobles. As for you is a very high price, but for them, it is not worth mentioning at all."
The pirate who spoke first sneered and retorted, and then he suddenly felt someone tap his shoulder behind him.
Just as he was about to attack, he suddenly stopped after seeing the person standing behind him.
"Akatsuki Pirates!...A! AA! Akira-sama!"
"When did the auction which you mentioned will start? and Where?"
Although Akira is not an alcoholic, he occasionally drinks a few sips. Although there may be gimmicks, getting some good wine is definitely not too bad.
So, he wanted to go and check.
"Akira-sama, these vintage wines will be auctioned this afternoon at the gold auction house."
"Gold auction house? Where is it?"
"It's in area 23, not far ahead."
"Thank you for your information. Bartender, give this man a glass of your special cocktail, please."
After speaking, Akira drank the remaining blue lantern cocktail in one gulp and paid for them.
When the pirate saw that Akira had actually invited him to drink, a hint of honor appeared across his face.
He stared proudly at the pirates around him and said:
"Did you see that even Akira-sama invited me to drink, but you still don't believe me?!"
Most of the pirates in the bar looked at him with envy.
This made the pirate even more arrogant.
However, After Akira walked along the street, he found a glorious auction house.
After he walked into the auction, he found that the space inside was vast.
There was still some time before the auction. However, the people already filled most of the seats in the venue.
The reception staff of the auction house immediately noticed Akira, who walked into the venue and asked a beautiful girl to accompany Akira.
The beautiful host smiled and led Akira to the VIP seats.
After sitting down, Akira looked around and found that most of the people around him were nobles and riches of the world.
Not only that, but next to him, there were actually two Celestial Dragons sitting. One male and one female, in their twenties. The male was fat, and the female was good-looking.
However, both were wearing Space suit-like clothes; some golden patterns were embroidered on their white robes.
Akira didn't care about them; he picked up the auction book and prepared for the auction, and looked at it quietly.
Both the decoration and designs of the auction house are the same as the auction in the Gran Tesoro, so Akira guessed that this auction also should belong to Tesoro.
"This guy really deserves to be called the Gold Emperor."
Akira sighed and continued to flip through the auction book in his hand.
A soldier of Germa 66 from the North Sea.
Waver from Skypiea.
Vintage wines from the ruins of the fallen country in the West Sea.
Precious jewels.
Mink slaves from the New World.
"Um?"
Akira kept turning the pages, and then seeing the last page made his heart move slightly.
"Why are the mink tribesmen so easily regarded as slaves?"
Thinking of Pedro, who was drugged at the Whiskey Peak, Akira was a little speechless.
"For Pedro's sake, I'll save you!"
Akira thought of his friend and decided in his heart.
Although it is difficult to get along with Pedro, his personality is extremely good.
So Akira still cherishes his friendship with Pedro.
As Akira was thinking in the matter, time passed slowly.
After waiting for about an hour, a host appeared on the high platform in the auction house.
Seeing this guy, Akira couldn't help smiling.
Back in Gran Tesoro, this guy presided over the auction that he participated in also. And now that he met him again in Sabaody Archipelago on the same occasion. It seems that this is indeed Tesoro's property.
The host is dressed in jewels, and he is a big fat man; his voice was thunderous. Without using a microphone, his voice was clearly transmitted in all directions.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Gold Auction House. I am today's host, Kyle."
"To prepare for this auction, Tesoro-sama spent a lot of effort and money to collect many precious things, just to make today's auction worth your interest."
"Okay, without any further ado, let's get started!"
"The first item is the Nodachi, a type of sword that exceeds that of a katana due to its longer length, weight, and size!"
"The swordsmen here should not miss it. The starting price is five million Bellies!"
As soon as Kyle's voice fell, the voices of the bidding below suddenly rose.
"Five and a half million! I want it!"
"Hmph, you are a fighter. What do you want a famous sword for?! Can you use it?! Six million Bellies!"
"Seven million Bellies! if I get this sword, I could enter the new world!"
"Hey! the trash is trash.! If you think you can enter the new world only with having this sword?! I'll give you eight million Bellies."
Akira looked at the noisy argument in the auction house hall like a vegetable market and shook his head helplessly.
This sword is indeed magnificent, but it is not useful for Akira.
He already has Shusui, one of the 21 Great Grade swords.
Shusui is a famous sword with a high reputation and infinite potential.
