Even though it wasn't directed at anyone, the sudden aura still made everyone present shiver, each lowering their heads like quails.
Kid, leaning against the wall, was sweating from his forehead, Law's pupils were constricted, and the eyes of the other Super Rookies were filled with shock.
"Oh..."
On stage, Rayleigh exclaimed in surprise, casting a deep look at Sage, who had a face of wantonness, "As expected, a man full of Haki."
"What you can discuss with me is only what I give you. I don't allow it. With such a price, where do you have the right to talk to me? Let your Admirals come!"
Sage sneered, "The auction is over, so it's time to return to my old profession. Gin, start the robbery. By the way, the one who bought the Treasure Map, give him the map!"
"Yes, Master Sage!"
Gin quickly got up and immediately commanded his subordinates to start robbing the people here.
The people who could attend this auction were either rich or noble, each at least having millions of Belly on them. Otherwise, they couldn't afford this auction's slave bidding format.
They had already been greatly shaken by Sage's Supreme King, and now faced with these fierce robbers, they had no thought of resisting, obediently handing over their purses.
Some carried gold coins in bags, others had suitcases full of Belly, all of which were looted by the pirates, spreading wealth in front of this stage.
The Navy just stood there watching, not daring to move.
After the robbery was complete and it was confirmed they had no more money left on them, Sage waved his hand and said:
"Alright, thank you all for witnessing this moment of my temporary part-time job as a human trafficker reaching the pinnacle of the industry. Remember when you go back, I, Norton Sage, am not only a pirate at the peak but also the strongest human trafficker!"
"In future auctions, remember to compare with me. Without selling Celestial Dragons, it's not considered top-tier. Now, get out."
Upon receiving the order, the guests rushed in a panic towards the main entrance.
"Don't rush, don't trample, move forward orderly. The Navy will ensure your safety!" The major shouted loudly, but no one listened to him. Rushing out in a frenzy, they even knocked over several Navy officers.
"Oh? I thought you would extort a little more, just let them go like this?" Rayleigh asked with a chuckle.
"Don't think of me like you. I'm a pirate, not a ransom-demanding kidnapper."
Sage clenched his fist tightly and grinned, "Since I've taken up this profession, I'll follow its plan strictly. If I want something, I just need to rob it."
"Is that so? But pirates are free, aren't they?" Rayleigh looked at him keenly.
"My freedom isn't that lowly!" Sage returned the gaze unceremoniously.
He even sold Celestial Dragons, not for ransom; perhaps the result isn't different, but this is the rule, this is procedural justice!
If it wasn't the Navy buying, but someone else, he would have handed the Celestial Dragons over to them too.
Whether you do it or not, that's the difference between an upper-class pirate and a lower-tier pirate.
"The world of young people, getting harder to understand, seems like I've been eliminated."
Rayleigh picked up the iron flask, took another sip of wine, a red dot appearing in his eyes, suddenly reached up to crush the collar on his neck, threw it in the air, and let it explode.
"It's no longer a place to stay. I'll be going. If you have five hundred thousand Belly, come to Bar 13, and I'll leave you an autograph, hahaha!"
Rayleigh laughed a few times, jumped off the stage, walked down the stairs to the door, glanced at Luffy, and said, "That straw hat suits a tough guy, Monkey D. Luffy, I've wanted to meet you for a long time. Come with me. Hatchan, long time no see, let's go together."
Luffy hesitated for a moment. Seeing he seemed to be a friend of Hatchan's, thought for a moment, and really went out with him.
"Let's go, nothing more to see."
Kid also lost interest, turned around, and left with his people.
That guy clearly has other intentions and the people he's waiting for aren't normal. Causing trouble with the Celestial Dragons, an Admiral's arrival is inevitable.
Now's not the time to face an Admiral.
"Quite a show we've seen." Law smiled slightly and also left with his people.
Today's scene was big enough. Not only did they see Celestial Dragons being sold, but also the Navy's helplessness. Although they were inherently helpless, such blatant robbery in front of the Navy was the first time I'd seen it.
It was enough.
"Hey, don't forget about my money."
Seeing these Super Rookies also leaving, Sage laughed loudly, "One more day means more interest. Don't wait for me to come find you personally, or it won't be just about money, hahahaha!"
These words caused the leaving Super Rookies to pause.
Bonney turned back angrily, flipped a middle finger, and shouted, "I won't give you a single penny, absolutely not!"
However, Bege, walking out alone, looked slightly gloomy and instructed the people stationed inside him, "Take out two hundred million Belly later, and send them to that disaster."
"Godfather, isn't this..." The Mafia inside the fortress hesitated upon hearing the order.
"Do as I say!"
Bege bit down on a cigar, his voice deep, "It's not yet time to go against crazy people like him. Who knows what he'll do next? Right now, the most important thing is to enter the New World. I don't want to be targeted just as I enter."
