It is infamous for its high prices, and Shakky's practice of beating up customers who refuse to pay.

Inside the Shakky's Bar, behind the bar, were two people, a man, and a woman. They drank wine and had a conversation on an unusual topic.
"Shakky... he sold himself into slavery? Are you serious?" looking at the woman, the man asked.
*Sigh*
"Yes. It's his hobby... He sells himself into slavery from time to time, or pretending to be a weak and feeble old man, so that he would be captured by bounty hunters," Shakky answered with a sigh.
Ray simply looked at Shakky with a blank expression and nodded.
"Everyone has their own shortcomings. If Rayleigh loves to be a slave, then you need to learn some BDSM skills. Then he will have no reason to sell himself into slavery… You can ask some advice from Otohime... *cough* She plays such games with Neptune… *cough*..."
"Ara ara. Otohime-chan? Who would have thought? As they say, "Still waters run deep". Ufufufufu. Interesting. So, Otohime-chan loves to bondage Neptune. Ufufufufu, Queen Dominatrix. Mistress Goldfish and her big shaggy slave. Ufufufufu," covering her mouth with her hand, Shakky giggled.
"Ray-chan... how do you know about this? I'm sure they hide these hobbies. They are still the King and Queen, so no one should know their dirty secrets. Ara ara, are you a hidden pervert? Creepy voyeur?," looking at Ray with a grin, Shakky said.
Hearing Shakky's words, Ray simply raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a look that said, "Are you serious now? Have you forgotten how many wives and potential lovers I have? Why should I just spy on someone if I literally live as the main character of the anime harem? And unlike these impotent people who proudly call themselves protagonists, everything is fine with me and my wives are always sexually satisfied.
"Ara ara. Ray-chan, so not interesting. I never succeed in teasing you. It's so sad. You should have embarrassed and started to make excuses that this is all a lie and that I misunderstood you," Shakky said with fake tears in her eyes.
"It's useless, Shakky. I have full control of all my emotions... Better tell me why you and Rayleigh returned to the Sabaody Archipelago?" sipping wine, Ray asked.
Shakky shrugged and replied, "I don't know. Rayleigh said that he needs to return to the Sabaody Archipelago. Most likely, his Observation Haki warned him of something important."
"That's how it is. You cannot escape your destiny, right?" Ray smiled.
"Do you know something?" seeing Ray's smile, Shakky asked.
"Yes. He must meet the person in whom the Will of Roger was reborn. Or, more correctly, the Will of Joy Boy? Hahaha, even my existence could not disrupt the basic mechanism and change the course of fate. Very interesting. So, I'm still too much weak to influence the fate of the whole World," Ray said with a happy smile on his face.
Shakky wondered when she heard about Will of Roger and Will of Joy Boy. She knows what One Piece is and what is hidden on Laugh Tale, and, of course, she knows about Will of "D".
While Shakky was pondering his words, Ray got up from his seat and headed toward the exit from the Bar.
"I want to visit the Human Auctioning House," before leaving the bar, Ray said.
"Bring the Pervert King from there, it's time for him to return home," looking at Ray's back, Shakky said.
Ray waved his hand in agreement and closed the door behind him.
Shakky continued to stare at the door and ponder Ray's words for a few more minutes.
[The will of Joy Boy… The time has come? This time everything will be different. This time, in addition to Joy Boy, in this World there is another dangerous and powerful person. This time,

Sabaody Archipelago. Human Auctioning House.
The Human Auctioning House is a center of the slave trade and a bidding house for selling living beings as slaves. It is located on Sabaody Archipelago's Grove 1.
The Human Auctioning House, like many other such dubious places, belongs to one of Shichibukai and part-time to the

In front of the large wooden door leading into the Human Auctioning House, there was a white-haired man with red eyes.
"Hehehe. They decided to sell Camie-chan. Tch, tch, tch. Sell one of my citizens at some auction... What a stupid decision," opening the door, the man said.
As soon as the man went inside, he immediately heard the loud voice of the auctioneer.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Now we will present to your attention an incredibly rare specimen. This is what many hunt for, but get only the elect!!! Without further ado, I present to you… All the way from Fishman Island… Camie the Mermaid!!!"
The auctioneer loudly presented the next lot and tore off the fabric covering the large aquarium, in which there was a young mermaid Camie.
There was a special collar on Camie's neck. and she was chained to the lid of the aquarium.
"Incredible!!!"
"Real, real young mermaid!!!"
"What a luck!"
"What a beautiful mermaid!"
All the viewers were shocked and shouted excitedly. They were ready to bet, but...
"I will pay ฿500,000,000!!!" jumping up from his seat, a snotty fat man dressed in an astronaut's spacesuit shouted.
"What ...? We do not even have half that amount," a beautiful young woman with orange hair and brown eyes whispered with a shocked expression on her face.
"The whole audience is speechless! Five hundred million! But does anyone to bid over 500 million!?" the auctioneer asked the audience loudly.
There was dead silence in the Auction Hall, no one answered. This amount was too big, in addition to this, they were afraid to insult Tenryuubito.
"I bet all your lives," a cold male voice pierced the entire Auction Hall.
All viewers moved their eyes to the source of the voice and their faces immediately turned pale and their eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
"Whhhat issss hhheee dddoooinngg hhhheeerrree."
"
"What the heck?" asked the father of the snotty fat man.
The
Ray looked at them and smiled.
"No need to be afraid. I'm not going to kill you or harm you," he said.
Hearing his words, the
Ray smiled wryly and thought, [Another one...?]
*BOOOOOOOOMMM*
At this moment, one of the walls was destroyed by unknown people and flying fish.
Ray did not even pay his attention to them, he began to descend the steps towards the stage on which stood a large aquarium.
Camie looked at Ray with tears in her eyes... she was in an aquarium filled with water… But tears continued to flow from her eyes and these tears were clearly visible...
[I will pretend that makes sense... This is the World of One Piece... people in this World restore lost teeth and broken bones by drinking one glass of milk… At least it's not as serious as Logic in SpongeBob...] Ray thought with a blank expression.
"Ray-sama. Save me! I want to go home. Uwaaaaaaah," Camie burst into tears.
"Ray-sama, please help Camie," shouted an orange starfish in a rasta cap.
*Sigh*
Ray sighed and suddenly jerked his head.
*Shot*
The sound of a shot rang out and a bullet flew past Ray's head.
He stopped in his place and turned in the direction of the snotty fat man, in whose hands was an exquisite pistol.
Smoke still came from the barrel of the gun.
Ray smiled a cold smile and all those present in the Auction Hall felt that this would not end with something good.
He disappeared from his place and appeared next to the snotty fat man.
Ray release a Killing Intent in his direction. The fat man immediately wet his spacesuit and lost consciousness. Foam flowed from his thick mouth, and his eyes rolled back and became completely white.
"Tch. Garbage. Trash. Ciliates. Amoeba," entering the
He waved his hand and Tenryuubito disappeared.
"Aura asked to bring her some "material" for experiments... Well... maybe she won't even make her chimeras and other animals mate with this Tenryuubito. At least she won't throw him into goblin caves… probably," Ray whispered.
All those present looked at him with fear and shock.
*Sigh*
"He... killed Tenryuubito."
"This is bad. This is very bad!"
"Hahaha. As expected from
"Charlos! Give me back my son. You lowly peasant," a mustached fat man dressed in a spacesuit shouted.
"Kyyyyyaaaaa. Charlos Nii-sama! He killed Charlos Nii-sama! But he is so handsome and courageous, aaaaahhhn, I don't know what to do... Dad, let's forgive him? When we get back to Mary Geoise, you can make one more Charlos. You have a big harem, use it for its intended purpose," said a pretty young woman dressed in a spacesuit.
Ray looked at the young woman with a blank expression and said,
"I would never have thought that Princess Tenryuubito could say such words. What's your name?"
"My name is Shalria, nice to meet you," the embarrassed young woman introduced herself with a blush on her cheeks.
Ray nodded and looked at the stage.
"Rayleigh, you don't want to help Camie-chan?" he said.
*Bzzzzzzzzzz*
*Thump*
*Thump*
*Thump*
*Thump*
A wave of energy passed throughout the Auction Hall and all people began to lose consciousness and fall to the ground with a thud. A wave of energy knocked out all but the pirates and... Princess Tenryuubito...
"See, what'd what I tell you giant-kun. The place is total chaos. Well, I had fun and took all their money, now I can return home to my wife," going on stage and going towards the aquarium with a mermaid, said the man with glasses.
"You really are screwed up old man… So it's money you were after" a loud male voice was heard.
Following the man, a bare-chested giant entered the scene.
"Hahaha. Of course! It is truly fun and exciting," the man with glasses laughed.
"Tch. Pervert King, just tell him the truth… You are a masochist who loves to be bondage and whipped by a whip. That's why you regularly sell yourself into slavery."
"What!? This is a lie! I never sold myself into slavery for this reason. Albert, do not believe him, it's all a lie," holding out his hand towards the giant, the man with glasses shouted.
"Eeeeehhhhhhhh, Old Man, I'll probably go... I... I... I forgot to turn off the lights in my house when I left Elbaf! I urgently need to go back. And my name is not Albert! My name is Björn! Björn means a bear!", step by step backing away from Rayleigh, the giant said.
The giant turned and ran back to where he came from.
"Liar! I was in Elbaf and saw that you use candles, bonfires, and hearths as a source of light! Your house has already burned down for a long time," Rayleigh shouted toward the fleeing giant.
Ray just stood by and watched the performance of this comedic duo.
*Cough*
Rayleigh went to the aquarium and removed the collar from Camie's neck.
"Ray-sama! You saved me! You came here only to save me. Kyyyyaaaaa. It's so romantic," jumping into Ray's arms, Camie shouted joyfully with a smile on her face.
She did not even pay attention to Rayleigh and completely ignored him... But it was he who removed the collar from her neck...
Rayleigh's eyebrow began to twitch, but he decided to leave the past in the past...
He turned toward the young guy in the Straw Hat and said,
"I have been wanting to meet you, Monkey D. Luffy."
After that, he explained to the

At this time, Ray was talking with Princess Tenryuubito, he was trying to recruit her to his side... The attempt was successful... it was easy... even too easy.
Now Ray will have his own spy among the World Nobles. Thus, he will be able to find out which of Tenryuubito deserves to live, and who will die with Im and the
"Rayleigh, Camie, Pappag and Octopus, we're leaving," Ray said quietly.
He did not give them time to answer and immediately teleported everyone to Shakky's Bar.
A group of two people, a young mermaid, a rastastarfish and an octopus disappeared in a flash of flame causing another shock to all the pirates present in the Auction Hall.

Thirty minutes later.
Sabaody Archipelago.
"WHAAAAAAAT! You were on board with the
"Yeah. I was the first mate. Silvers Rayleigh, nice to meet you."
"FIRST MATE!?"
"Still, even though Gold Roger was executed 22 years ago, how come you, his first mate, still have your head attached to your neck? Everyone was captured by the Marines, right?" asked a slim, yet muscular, long-legged man with blond hair which he keeps brushed over one side of his face.
"No. We were not captured by the Marines. Roger turned himself in... The
"
"He had an incurable and fatal disease, that's why. He needed to light a flame in the hearts of people, that's why he surrendered to the Marines. He wanted to die so, that the whole World would watch his death. He needed to pass the torch to his successor, to pass his Will. And he did it," the white-haired man with red eyes answered.
"To pass his Will? What does it mean?" looking at a man, a woman with orange hair asked.
"Nami, I won't answer this question. This is what I know, and you have to find out. You will only find out about this when you get to the last island, Laugh Tale. It is there that all the secrets of this World are hidden," looking at her eyes, the man answered.
"Ray is right. Roger wanted his successor, along with his crew, to get to Laugh Tale and finish what we couldn't finish. Do you want to know what One Piece is?" looking at the
"Yes! What is...", a slim teenager with medium-length black woolly hair and a long nose wanted to ask.
"USOPP! WE WILL FIND OUT ABOUT IT OURSELVES!" a young guy in a straw hat shouted
"Ray-san... have you been to Laugh Tale too?" a toddler-sized human/reindeer hybrid asked
Everyone immediately moved their eyes on Ray.
Even Rayleigh was curious, he did not know that Ray was already on Laugh Tale.
"Yes. I was already on Laugh Tale and can return to it at any time... I left a reward on the island for the next
"YES! I want to know! Tell us about it," Nami asked with stars in her eyes.
"The reward is a devil fruit. A person who receives the power of this fruit will be able to unite the Whole World and make it One. That's not all, I left a device on the island with which you can get rid of the curse of devil fruits," Ray replied.
"Devil fruit?" bowing his head, the young guy in the Straw Hat asked
The members of his crew also did not understand anything. Of course, devil fruits are very rare... But why leave one of them as a reward on Laugh Tale?
"Did you find that fruit?" Rayleigh asked with a trembling voice.
Ray just nodded.
*Sigh*
"Incredible..." Rayleigh said with a sigh.
Seeing his reaction, the
"Rayleigh-san, what power can you get by eating this fruit?" the man with a brightly-colored blue hair asked
"The user of this fruit can create land and change the landscape... With the power of this fruit, you can turn the desert into a real blooming paradise. With its power, you can create islands of any size! The user of this devil fruit will literally be a god in the eyes of ordinary people."
Suddenly, Rayleigh's eyes widened and he realized what Ray was planning to do.
"Do you want the next
Ray nodded.
"Yes. Someday we will leave this World, but I do not want it to be destroyed as a result of any major wars. We came to the conclusion that the next
Rayleigh rubbed his head and answered, "Hahaha. My mistake, my mistake."
*Sigh*
"I'm going back to Avalon. I need to prepare for the War. If you want, you can tell them about the situation Ace is currently in. They will find out about it anyway," Ray said with a sigh.
Rayleigh wanted to say something, but Ray has already disappeared from Shakky's Bar...
