The pupils in Law's eyes contracted as he looked over there in disbelief.
This voice...
"Of course, I wouldn't come to you for such a thing a second time. I have my own channels."
Sage said into the microphone, "I came to you because my men saw your mark at the auction house near the number one tree in the Shampodi Islands. Is that your property?"
"I wouldn't remember if you hadn't mentioned it. Eyeing that place, huh? Go ahead, I don't need it anymore. Compared to such trivial matters, shouldn't you focus on something bigger?"
The Radio Snail responded, "This war is a contest between the top powers of the sea, no matter who wins, it will affect the sea's landscape. The world is getting lively, Sage. What's the point of staying there when you could be part of this grand feast!"
"You don't need to ask me about such matters. Right now, I'm only interested in plunder. I won't miss out on such a good opportunity. Don't you want Shampodi? Name a price, I'll package it and sell it to you."
Sage said something that silenced the Radio Snail completely, "Moreover, I've captured your kin and I'm preparing to take them to your place to sell them off, and maybe find some suitable talents along the way."
"My... kin?"
The face on the Radio Snail changed from initial silence to dropping sweat, then gradually revealed a shocked yet delighted grin.
"Sage, that is heaven, truly the heavens! You really live up to the name 'Calamity!' It's so bizarre yet so interesting that you want to sell those people as slaves! Working with you is truly the best choice!"
"Sell them off, sell them off! I'll instruct the people there, but I want to capture the scene, I'll prepare the audiovisual Radio Snail myself, just go to the number one auction house! Use that venue to your advantage, then do as you like afterward, I don't want it anymore!"
"Though, be quick, since you've captured them, the Navy won't just sit around. Also, the talents you want... I don't know, but the auction has already started, if you want to go, then hurry!"
"It's all nonsense, don't talk to me if you can't afford it!"
Sage rolled his eyes and threw the microphone into the Radio Snail, saying, "Take these two things to the number one tree, I'll go see the auction first, in case what I want is bought by others, then it's a loss!"
Even if he had to rob, at that time, he wouldn't know whom to rob.
As for taking these two Heavenly Celestial Dragons, the distance is not far, the Navy's reaction wouldn't be that quick.
Not to mention, there isn't any Navy here now, not even a calling station.
Getting caught in this area means you're caught, the news won't spread quickly, even if it does, they'll still be able to send them to the destination in time.
Zoom!
After speaking, Sage stomped his foot in the air, creating a series of smoke rings in the air, and his figure disappeared.
"I'm going to check it out too."
Lily's figure also turned into a blur, stepping on Moon Step, creating a trail of smoke rings, and followed along.
The speed surprised the pirates who hadn't retreated.
Aside from Calamity, this 'Sword Princess' seems even faster than the 'Slaughter Samurai.'
A truly troublesome character...
...
Number 1 Tree.
The Professional Introduction Agency.
Many people dressed in fine clothes had already gathered in the venue, including the wealthy and noble from nations across the Grand Line and even the Four Seas.
They all knew that to buy slaves, the best place was the Shampodi Islands, and on the Shampodi Islands, the 'Professional Introduction Agency' here at Number 1 holds an auction regularly every month.
This place is also the best slave market in the entire Shampodi Islands. Every month, a batch of rare slaves, including criminals and people from non-World Government affiliated nations, is sold here.
In terms of quality, this is the best, although the prices are not generally affordable.
In an ordinary slave market, human slaves are usually priced around ten thousand Belly.
But humans here start at fifty thousand Belly.
The common races of the sea, like Little People, Long-armed Race, Long-legged Race, Snake-headed Race, Fur Race, start at seventy thousand Belly.
Fishman Race starts at one hundred thousand Belly.
As for the difficult-to-capture races, they are very expensive.
Giant Race is divided by gender, men start at five million Belly, women start at one million Belly.
The most valuable are Mermaids, male Mermaids are cheap, the same price as Fishman, starting at one million Belly, as humans see no difference between Fishman and male Mermaids.
But the pricing for female Mermaids is different, starting at seventy million Belly, even those with legs start at ten million Belly.
As for Ability Users... they are sold too, but the prices fluctuate, depending on the era's value.
In the venue, everyone was waiting for the stage at the front to open, eagerly anticipating what kinds of slaves would appear.
Some wanted to buy Fishman, others Giant, while some only wanted to buy high-quality young women or robust men.
Among them, Kalifa was waiting in line, holding the number 44 as she waited for the slaves to arrive...
"Welcome, everyone, to the monthly human auction!"
The host, dressed in a purple robe, wearing a yellow high hat and star-shaped glasses, stood on stage, saying excitedly:
"There's no need for unnecessary opening remarks, I know our guests are impatient, the most thrilling auction is about to begin, hold onto your number tags, calculate your wallets, and display your sincerest desires and visions, bidding on the most suitable products for you!"
