Chapter 369

Clear zones were demarcated according to numbers,

every zone, every island serving a different purpose!

For instance, on Island No. 24 where Li Xiao was, there were many restaurants,

while on the nearby Island No. 22 there was a hospital!

And Li Xiao's destination this time—Island No. 1,

was the location of this auction,

also the island in the Sabaody Archipelago specifically used to hold auctions!

Among the many industries of the Sabaody Archipelago,

the auction's importance could be counted among the top two or three,

almost ranking as one of the pillar industries of the Sabaody Archipelago!

This point,

could be seen from the number of the island it was located on!

And the reason this situation formed,

was simple to explain!

The geographical location of the Sabaody Archipelago was very special,

situated in front of the Red Line in the middle of the Grand Line,

the terminal station of the first half of the Grand Line,

and at the same time the only path to reach the second half of the Grand Line—the New World!

Therefore,

compared to the natives of the Sabaody Archipelago,

what gathered here on ordinary days were more of a chaotic mix of people!

Marines, pirates, merchants, bounty hunters, and so on,

all present!

And among them,

most people did not obey the order!

Such as pirates and bounty hunters,

and even the Celestial Dragons who appeared occasionally!

These people all had one characteristic!

Either they possessed immense power,

or they controlled terrifying authority!

In this world where the strong prey on the weak,

these people naturally often did not care about so-called order and morality!

Even the merchants who looked the most ordinary among them,

in most cases did not take order and morality seriously!

Merchants all pursued profit,

especially the merchants of the Sabaody Archipelago!

As long as there was profit,

they were willing to do anything!

Whether it was killing and arson,

or petty theft and burglary,

they were all willing to do it!

As for whether these things themselves were good or bad,

they simply did not care!

It was precisely because of the above reasons

that the auction industry of the Sabaody Archipelago was spawned,

especially the human auctions that spawned countless black industries,

which were even loved and patronized by countless people in the Sabaody Archipelago!

Here,

almost every auction was packed with people!

Although Li Xiao had a Log Pose for the Sabaody Archipelago in his hand,

the function of the Log Pose was limited to guiding Li Xiao to this island!

As for the specific terrain inside the island,

Li Xiao was still completely unaware!

Therefore,

Li Xiao could only use the old method,

asking for directions while groping his way to Island No. 1!

However,

compared to the last time's all-inclusive funeral service that handled killing and burial,

Li Xiao's experience asking for directions this time was undoubtedly much smoother,

meeting only law-abiding and enthusiastic citizens along the way.

Li Xiao walked and asked along the way,

after winding around the Saba Archipelago for quite a while,

he finally arrived smoothly at this destination—Island No. 1!

After arriving at Island No. 1,

the process of finding the auction house became much smoother!

After all,

the location of the auction house was indeed not hard to find,

situated right in the central district of Island No. 1!

Moreover, the auction house as a whole was circular,

covering a vast area!

From a distance,

one could see that huge circular building at a glance!

It was quite like a landmark building!

Most auctions held in the Saba Archipelago required no invitation letters,

nor did they require identity or asset checks,

one could take a seat immediately upon entering!

Since Li Xiao had wasted quite a bit of time on the journey searching for Island No. 1,

therefore,

the time he arrived was already somewhat late!

When he walked into the auction house,

he saw it was already packed with people,

the rows of seats were already filled to capacity!

Li Xiao looked around,

scanned the area,

and finally found an empty seat in the farthest corner,

immediately walked over and sat down!

Just as Li Xiao had taken his seat,

as the great curtain opened,

the auctioneer slowly walked onto the stage,
