Grand Auction
Grand Auction
//September 1st 1507 Starboard Island
"This island sure is lively. Well, I have expected many pirate ships to welcome us, but I think the number is a little too much. It is like a festival is going on or something." Tia commented.
"Well I can interrogate a pirate or ask in the local about what's going on ?" Silver said to Hancock.
Hancock just nodded but didn't say anything. Her intuition is saying that there is something bad going to happen. But as a pirate she always welcome any danger.
When the Silver pearl was about to enter the narrow channel to the hidden dock, they were stopped by a middle aged man. But when he saw, Hancock, his eyes turned into heart and he acted all subdued.
"Please ! Goddess ! Forgive me for stopping you. This hidden dock is only for caravels. And it is already full of pirate ships ! It won't hold a galleon like yours. Let me guide you to the hidden dock II. You can dock your ship there. Again forgive me for my intrusion." Hancock dismissed the man as he talked to her while bowing his head.
Hancock also noticed that their ship barely fitted in the channel.
Hancock glanced at Silver.
"Say, old man , why are there so many pirate ships in this island ? Isn't the G3 Marine base is nearby ?" Silver, understanding Hancock's motive asked the old man.
"The, grand auction is going to start today, in the underground black market . Anyone is free to buy or sell anything they want. From devil fruits to secret information and even antique items. There will be a lot of dirty deals going to take place in this 3 day auction. I don't know what is going on this year.
Every year marines come in disguise to buy devil fruits and important information. But this year I haven't able to find a single one." The middle aged man replied.
"Is there specific location or the auction is going to happen in random places ?" Silver asked again.
"Well there are specific places where usually auction happens in normal days but in these three days, the auction is going to happen all over the island. You can find brokers roaming around declaring their products in open. But if you want to find anything specific then I would suggest you to go to the middle East villa of the entertainment district. You can find specific brokers who will guide you to your wanted location for a price. That way you don't have to search all day long." The man replied.
After reaching the port following the w
Middle aged man with a sail boat, the Boa pirates docked their ship. Silver didn't want Hancock to turn people to stone statues left and right so she paid the docking fees to the guard without even asking for any money. They were pretty loaded after looting the underground black market in the Jaya Island. Silver didn't want any unnecessary attention before the finished their business.
After a bit of help from the locals they finally reached the East villa of the entertainment district.
But here thanks didn't go how Silver had imagined things. She didn't pay a single berry for a guide. The middle aged woman agreed to take them where they wanted after seeing Hancock's beauty.
"Before going to the information broker take us to the best restaurant in the island." Hancock ordered the woman.
The woman agreed with out a second question.
...
While Hancock was passing through the street of entertainment district, she briefly caught a very strong presence behind her. The person was not suppressing his presence, nor intentions at all. Hancock immediately recognised the presence. Even though she couldn't see him, she knew that the person was non other than Douglas Bullet. A monster who was taken down by the mixed effort of Luffy and many other people. Although, Luffy was the one who fought him and over powered him at the end but it wasn't an easy fight.
So Hancock very much doubted that if by chance she encountered him then her chances of winning is pretty low.
No it was almost impossible. Even if without his devil fruit, Bullet had monstrous physical strength and formidable haki.
So Hancock doubted that there is no way that she could beat him now in her weakened state.
Boa pirates were going to be in trouble if they stays in the island.
"Change of plans ! Take us to the broker now !
Sandersonia, Marigold, Tia, Sheel go back to the ship and get ready to set sail as soon as possible. I am Silver will go to the broker.
Now go !"
No one understood the sudden change in behaviour of Hancock. But no one questioned her either. Their guide also just nodded and took them to a man who has information on different devil fruits. Even some prehistoric once.
...
"Hebi hebi no mi model Nure-onna ?
Well it's not the only mythical zoan devil fruit based on snakes.
As far as I know, the mythical zoan hebi hebi no mi yamata no Orochi is the snake based mythical zoan.
Ofcourse, I have read about the devil fruit you are talking about.
But that's all, I have never came across a devil fruit or a devil fruit user like you have mentioned.
Please forgive me.
But this is my den den mushi number. You can always contact me for more information ." Like the woman earlier, the man also became a devotee of Hancock.
Although Hancock's mood was not good after the stress she got from Bullet and dissatisfied answer like this, but she was more confused by the behaviour of the people around her.
Ofcourse those who know her well enough behaved like that in Amazon Lily.
But strangers often harbour lust towards her.
But before Hancock could think what to do, A loud explosion was heard. At that moment Silver's den den mushi started to ring.
"Puru puru puru puru puru
Puru puru -kachak !"
"Sister ! The marines are surrounding the island !-
Captain I fear that this might be a buster call !"
The concerned voice of Sandersonia and Tia was heard.
