Chapter 48

Who's Who alone cannot handle this.

He added, "Should we ask Boss Kaido to send more men over?"

Luo Xing shook his head and said:

"If our numbers are too large, it will alert Doflamingo. That is why I only let you follow me at the time."

Who's Who bowed to listen.

The little maid Carrot gazed at her master's back, full of admiration.

Luo Xing stood with his hands behind his back and laughed boldly:

"Besides, so many powerhouses are coming to send us money; we should be happy."

Who's Who murmured his agreement.

Luo Xing gently stroked the Enma at his waist.

This hellish blade, obtained from the hands of Komurasaki, had long since been subdued by Luo Xing's Conqueror's Haki.

When Luo Xing's hand touched it, Enma seemed to emit an excited, eager-to-fight sword hum.

Luo Xing's lips curled slightly.

"Don't worry, Enma, it will soon be time for you to be unsheathed!"

54. The Senzu Bean Auction Officially Begins! (Seeking flowers and tickets)

"What? Besides the Pirate Empress, the Whitebeard Pirates, the Red Hair Pirates, and the Big Mom Pirates are all participating?!"

Sengoku, who had just finished the report call with Momonga, took several deep breaths to suppress the shock in his heart before barely calming down and saying:

"Alright, I understand."

He put down the phone.

Sengoku's brows were tightly locked.

The scope of influence of this Senzu Bean auction far exceeded his previous expectations.

That all the Four Emperors' crews were participating was truly an unprecedented event.

"Should we send an Admiral to Dressrosa?"

Great Staff Officer Tsuru said.

Ever since she was seriously injured by the joint efforts of Ulti and Page One last time, Tsuru had remained at Marine Headquarters to recover.

She basically stayed in Sengoku's office, becoming a true Fleet Admiral's advisor.

Sengoku sighed and said:

"I'm afraid not. Dressrosa is the territory of the Warlord Doflamingo. We have an agreement with him; except in special circumstances, the Navy cannot interfere."

"Sending Momonga this time was also done in secret."

Tsuru continued:

"Can't we make an exception once? That Beast Imperial Son-in-Law Luo Xing is also in Dressrosa. If we could capture him, it would be equivalent to removing a major hidden danger for the Navy!"

Sengoku said with a heavy tone:

"It's not that simple. If we take action against that Luo Xing, Beast Kaido will certainly not sit idly by. At that time, a full-scale war with the Four Emperors might break out!"

"The Beast Pirates have two major weapons: Monster Cells and Senzu Beans, while we in the Navy are ill-prepared."

"Once a war breaks out, the situation will be very unfavorable for us."

Sengoku's analysis was very reasonable, and Tsuru had no choice but to fall silent upon hearing this.

In fact, there was one more thing Sengoku did not say.

That was, the other, bigger reason he could not send an Admiral to Dressrosa was that the Five Elders did not agree!

Why did the Five Elders not agree?

Naturally, Doflamingo had used his status as a Celestial Dragon to warn the Five Elders early on, telling them not to ruin his good deeds.

Otherwise, he would expose the national treasure of Mary Geoise!

Dressrosa.

The day of the Senzu Bean auction finally arrived.

Thousands of people poured into the arena, each with an excited and agitated expression on their face.

"A king, kings of the underworld, a Warlord, and a Four Emperors' subordinate—with so many big shots bidding for Senzu Beans, I really don't know what sky-high price they will be bid up to!"

"At least one billion Berries! After all, that was the price of the Monster Cells at the time!"

"One billion Berries... even if I sold myself, I couldn't earn that much money!"

"Tch, do you think you're the Beast Imperial Son-in-Law, whose bounty can reach over a billion Berries?"

Amidst the noise, everyone took their seats in the arena's spectator stands.

In the center of the arena, five pillars rose high.

On each pillar was an exquisite jade box, and inside the box was a small, green medicinal pill.

That was the much-anticipated Senzu Bean!

On the high platform in front of the pillars, an executive of the Donquixote Family acted as the host.

From there, the host could see the bids of everyone in the arena.

The seating in the spectator area was also divided into different classes.

The most prestigious position was, of course, the VIP area.

Luo Xing was currently sitting leisurely in the VIP area with his little maid Carrot and Who's Who.

The VIP area occupied a large space, but only a few people were qualified to sit there.

Everyone's seating was also very scattered; clearly, the pride of the powerhouses made them disdainful of communicating with others.

Luo Xing scanned the area casually.

Doflamingo looked gloomy, sitting with the two underworld kings, Feld and Peiklo.

The Pirate Empress Boa Hancock had a cold and aloof temperament, only to be viewed from afar, with only her two sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold, behind her.

Marco the Phoenix squatted on his chair, his eyes fixed eagerly on the Senzu Beans in the center.

Charlotte Katakuri sat with his arms crossed, his sharp eyes making people afraid to look directly at him.

Lucky Roux, that fatty, was still eating a chicken leg, as if he would never get tired of it.

Luo Xing also saw several familiar figures: the giant Hajrudin, the leader of the Happo Navy Chinjao, King Elizabello II...

These people were supposed to have come to Dressrosa to compete for the Mera Mera no Mi in the original story.

Now, they were attracted by the Senzu Beans.

"Huh?"

Luo Xing suddenly raised an eyebrow. Just now, as he accidentally scanned the ordinary seating area, he felt an inexplicably powerful aura.

Although the person hid it well, Luo Xing still sensed it.

"To have such a powerhouse hiding here... interesting."

Luo Xing looked in the direction of that powerful aura.

It was a very young-looking man with a hat covering his face.

Luo Xing's eyes flickered, feeling a bit surprised and also a bit playful.

Then he turned his gaze away as if nothing had happened.

"What's wrong, Staff Staff Sabo?"

Koala asked in a low voice. Just now, she noticed that the muscles of her companion beside her had tightened.

Staff Staff Sabo said in an extremely grave voice:

"We've been discovered. It's that mysterious Beast Imperial Son-in-Law!"

While Luo Xing was observing everyone, everyone was observing him even more.

Only, seeing the Hannya mask he wore on his face, they were somewhat disappointed.

The Empress whispered in her heart:

"So this is Luo Xing, the inventor of the Senzu Bean. Although he is a man, considering he knows how to invent things, if there is a chance, I will tie him to the Amazon Lily."

Amazon Lily was forbidden to men.

The fate of any man who entered Amazon Lily was only one: death.
