"Shh—"

  "She really has a third eye!"

  "How ugly... an eye growing on her forehead."

  "So, this is the legendary Three-Eye Tribe?"

  Ihe au house, everyone's eyes widened in amazement as they stared curiously at the Three-Eye Tribe girl locked in the cage. Despite her strikiy and perfect figure, many in the crowd gazed at her with disgust and disdain.

  At that moment—

  In an inspicuous er, a young man wearing a straw hat whispered to the tall, blond man beside him, "Rayleigh, those people look strong."

  "Hmm, they don’t seem ordinary," the blond man replied, stroking his as he g Linlin and her group he entrance. His gaze theuro the stage, where the imprisohree-Eye girl stood, helpless and furious. "Still, it’s amazing to see that a race like this still exists."

  "Hey, Rayleigh, let's cause some trouble!" Rrinned, adjusting his straw hat. "There's a Fish-man sve in there I like... Don’t you think he’d make a great crewmate?"

  Rured that having a crew member skilled in water and able to swim freely would be a huge asset for their adve sea, redug the risks they might face.

  "Hey, hey, Roger, you better not mess around..." Rayleigh’s eyelid twitched. The Roger Pirates were already stantly evading the Navy. Provoking the Celestial Dragons could mean having a Navy Admiral after them, and that was no ughing matter.

  "Roger, stop joking!" said a young man in a yellow t-shirt and suanding beside Gol D. Roger. He quickly covered Roger's mouth, scolding him, "That Fish-man was bought by a Celestial Dragon, wasn’t he?"

  Everyone khe kind of trouble they’d face if they provoked the Celestial Dragons. Even though they disliked the so-called "World Nobles," no one wao risk being hunted down by the Navy's full force.

  "Amazing..." At the entrance of the au house, Linlin's eyes were wide with wonder as she stared at the Three-Eye Tribe girl. "I heard the third eye of the Three-Eye Tribe holds mysterious powers. Is that true?"

  "It is..."

  Seated on Moss' shoulder, a tiny green figure scratched his head in fusion. "This is my first time seeing someoh three eyes too!"

  "El mentio before, but even he wasn’t sure..." Moss, Rock, and Jien joihe versation, equally curious about the mysterious powers of the Three-Eye Tribe.

  "Hmm, her aura is quite strong..." Linlin muttered, casting a surprised goward a er of the room. Then she looked back at the girl on stage. "How could someone like her be so easily captured by svers?"

  "They probably used some underhanded means," Moss said, folding his arms. "These scumbags will go to ahs to capture valuable targets for sale."

  "Ladies alemen—"

  The aueer poio the Three-Eye girl in the cage. "It’s said that the Three-Eye Tribe possesses mysterious powers. This young dy may be the st surviving member of her tribe, and being both young aiful, she could be used to repopute the race. What are you waiting for?"

  "Rare goods are valuable. The starting bid for Lot 20 is 200 million bellys. Bids must increase by at least 100,000 bellys each time!"

  "210 million bellys!"

  "230 million bellys!"

  "250 million bellys!"

  "Mamamama, this is gettiing!" Linlin, seeing the fervent bidding, grew ied and jumped in with a bold offer: "400 million bellys!!"

  The room fell silent.

  All eyes turoward the au house entrance, shocked at the enormous bid. Even for a member of the legendary Three-Eye Tribe, 400 million bellys seemed excessive.

  "Huh? Is there a problem?" Linlin blinked and looked around at the others.

  "400 million bellys!?"

  The aueer quickly regained his posure, his voice shaking with excitement as he called out, "The dy has offered 400 million bellys! Does anyone wish to bid higher?"

  "Linlin, don’t go overboard... We didn’t bring that much money!" Rock whispered, exasperated. They hadn’t po win anything at the au through legitimate means, and if no obid Linlin, they’d be stuck having to pay.

  At that moment, a Celestial Dragon in the middle row stood up, raising five fingers arrogantly. "500 million bellys!!"

  "Damn it, I was hoping to get her for three or four hundred million... Now I have to spend more," he grumbled, pig his nose nontly. Then, turning to g Linliiced her t height and strikiy. "Hmm? A giant girl who hasn’t reached adulthood yet?"

  His eyes lit up in delight. "I’ll make her my eighteenth wife!"

  "Heh, Hanic Saint, you acted too quickly... I wahat giant sve too!" pined another Celestial Dragon sitting nearby, who had already purchased a mermaid sve and two Devil Fruits. Lag the funds to outbid Hanic, he turned his attention to Linlin, who stood over seveers tall, youthful and graceful.

  "An underage giant, huh?"

  "Haha, Prank Saint, you were too slow. I’ve already cimed this giant girl... If you want, I’ll give her to you after I’m doh her."

  "No thanks! How about you let me have the Three-Eye girl instead?"

  "That’s not happening!"

  The Celestial Dragons' arrogant and unfiltered versation reached Linlin, Moss, Rock, and the others.

  "Eighteenth wife? Sve?"

  Linlin’s face darkened, veins bulging on her forehead as she ched her massive fists. With a fierce look in her eyes, she gred murderously at the Celestial Dragons and growled, "What did you just say? Say that again... you disgusting pigs!!"

  "Oh no—"
