Chapter 162 Keeping an eye on Rayleigh
Life is not only about the immediate needs, but also about the boss's shameless overtime.
It was legal vacation time, but because of the turbulent situation in the sea, Roy was drafted again.
The first half of the Grand Line, the Sabaody Archipelago.
In front of a cafe, Roy was eating breakfast while reading the newspaper he had just bought.
"Shock! The unknown love story of the world beauty pageant"
"A gangster in the West Sea is suspected of attacking the city overnight"
"Whitebeard, the unknown illegitimate child revealed"
"The mermaid princess who has been hidden for more than ten years, is it a speculation about the afro"
Looking at the various outrageous news on the small pages of the newspaper, he took a sip of slightly bitter coffee.
Roy said that he was a local dog, and he liked to read these gossips.
Turning the page, the most popular news in the newspaper recently was the conflict between the World Government and Whitebeard.
A large number of critics who came out of nowhere spoke nonsense in the newspaper.
Although there are a lot of contents, Roy feels very fucked up, but it must be said that it does look very cool.
Put down the gossip newspaper in your hand and pick up the most authoritative World Economic News in the pirate world.
Unlike the shit, urine and fart in the gossip newspaper, the content in the World Economic News is often very authentic.
Therefore, the World Economic News is the only channel for many people in the pirate world to access real information from the outside world.
Although it is sometimes controlled by the world government, most of the time, the information on it is still trustworthy.
Flipping through the biggest news on the page.
"The New World is ready to move, the Four Emperors Kaido, suspected of wanting to participate in the conflict between Whitebeard and the Navy"
Looking at the figure of Kaido going out to sea in person on the newspaper.
"What do you think now, Kaido"
Took a sip of coffee and ate a bite of the meal on the table.
Looking up at the bubbles floating up to the sky.
"Such a big bait, I have already put it down, Kaido, are you scared or not?"
Roy has not received a call from Kaido in the past few days, which makes him feel a little irritated.
Finish the coffee on the table and eat the meal.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it. No matter whether he participates or not, there are already Blackbeard and Whitebeard on the stage of the war. The two of them are enough to make the World Government drink a pot."
After putting money under the coffee cup.
Roy walked towards the Sabaody Archipelago, the human auction venue in the dark zone.
Roy's mission this time can be said to be very simple, but also very dangerous.
The reason why it is simple is that Roy only needs to keep an eye on one person in the Sabaody Archipelago.
And the reason why it is dangerous is that this person is very powerful and should not be underestimated.
After showing the money he can pay.
Led by a maid, Roy walked into the auction that was being held.
In the dim environment, bursts of noise and overwhelming shouting poured into his ears.
And perhaps because of the cover of the dim environment, the people here don't care about their image at all.
Looking at the guys who were waving Bailey wildly and shouting at the auction table.
Roy frowned.
Obviously, he didn't like such a scene.
The fanatical atmosphere was constantly raised by the guys waving money.
And the reason why they were so fanatical was a beautiful woman under the lights in the center of the auction.
"The beautiful 'woman' who stabbed eight nobles, Mania, starting price is 8 million Baileys."
The auctioneer wearing a mask waved the hammer in his hand and introduced the 'beauty' in the center to everyone present with suggestive words.
The atmosphere in the venue was rising steadily.
Originally, Roy was a little confused. Why would an ordinary slave make these rich people so excited?
After he was taken to the VIP seat in front by the maid.
At a close distance, Roy saw the Adam's apple of the so-called beauty under the lights in the center of the auction.
"It's worthy of being the famous human auction in the Sabaody Archipelago!
It can be played like this? Speaking of assassinating nobles, is that a serious assassination?"
He distanced himself from a guest who was bidding happily next to him.
Ignoring the merchandise in the center of the auction hall, Roy lit the cigarette in his mouth, took out a novel he liked to read, and then bowed his head and said nothing.
The lights in the center of the auction hall, one by one, displayed the merchandise on it.
Auctioning people, this is a major feature of the Sabaody Archipelago.
Human auctions were originally not allowed in any country, but they are allowed in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Because there are often Celestial Dragons who love slaves the most in the world, the Sabaody Archipelago has its unique slave auction culture for the Celestial Dragons' preferences.
The buying and selling of people here is as simple as buying vegetables at home.
Although the back is cruel, driven by huge profits, the slave trade is still thriving.
"The next auction item is an old man who is good at stealing!"
Pulling open the curtain, a handsome old man wearing glasses and with white hair appeared under the lights in the center of the auction hall.
"Oh, are you finally here?"
Closing the book, looking up, the person who came into view was none other than Roy's mission target this time.
"How could Rayleigh, the vice-captain of the Pirate King, who is known as the Pluto, have such a bad taste?"
A handsome old man on the stage.
Although most guys are not interested, there are many rich women who love this.
Looking at a woman who weighs at least 300 pounds not far from him, waving her fat hands full of gems to bid.
Roy's eyes twitched upwards.
After glancing at Rayleigh on the stage, Roy lowered his head and opened his book again.
Anyway, his task is just to keep an eye on him.
As for what this big guy wants to do? Roy said it was up to him.
Although Roy wanted to reveal Ace's true identity to him, after thinking about it, Roy decided to forget it.
In the original book, Rayleigh did not appear in the war at the top.
That should indicate that he is not interested in Ace.
You know, the distance between the Navy Headquarters and the Sabaody Archipelago is very close.
If Rayleigh wanted to save Ace, then he could swim over at such a short distance.
And he never showed up. Obviously, in his eyes, Roger is Roger, Ace is Ace, and there is no connection between them.
Sometimes friendship between men is very pure, but often it does not include the next generation.
Rayleigh's auction.
It was obviously not as lively as those slutty ones.
But when Roy saw that Rayleigh was bought by the fat man next to him.
He felt a chill from nowhere and immediately stood up and walked out of the auction venue.
