Chapter 1334: Little Mantou

The situation was already very clear. The Tier 4 Contractors' quests were also related to Sabaody Archipelago. It was unlikely they were tasked with killing Celestial Dragons; such "anti-human" quest difficulty could only be triggered by Su Xiao's combined promotion/main quest.

When Su Xiao killed Contractors in Dressrosa, he gained a reputation reward of half of the opponent's existing reputation. If this mechanism hadn't disappeared, then the situation in the district made perfect sense.

Su Xiao got up and left the restaurant. Although he was very interested in the district, he had to go to a more important location now.

Area 1, this was the human auction house, which was the scheduled location for Su Xiao to assassinate the Celestial Dragons.

A large number of pirate ships were docked in front of the port in Area 1. These people were both pirates and slave-hunting teams. They would not only kill, injure, and rob but also capture humans, fish-men, Mink tribe, etc., to sell to the auction house for profit.

Su Xiao climbed up the mangrove tree in Area 1, standing on the hundred-meter-high tree, and observed the area below through binoculars.

There were at least dozens of human auction houses in Area 1. The largest one was, of course, the one under the Donquixote Family. No auction house could compete with the Donquixote Family.

Sabaody Archipelago was located in the first half of the Grand Line. Here, pirates with a bounty of 100 million Berries were already big shots, unlike in the New World, where pirates with a bounty of 100 million were just small leaders under the Yonko.

If the New World was Purgatory-level, then the first half of the Grand Line was only Difficulty-level. Sailing here for half a year, one might not even encounter pirates with a bounty of over 100 million. The New World was much livelier; encountering pirates with a bounty of 200 or 300 million was just a common occurrence.

Don't say Doflamingo came in person; even if his subordinate Pica came, apart from the Warlords and the Navy, basically no one dared to provoke Pica, and they would walk around him.

Precisely because of this, the Donquixote Family's human auction house was almost lying in front of many other auction houses. Those auction houses only dared to eat the leftovers of the Donquixote Family. There was no peer competition at all. Even the prices at the Donquixote Family's auction house were the market prices for human sales here. No one dared to sell slaves below this price.

After Su Xiao observed the structure of the Donquixote Family's auction house through binoculars, he found that there were basically no external defense measures, and the guards at the door were basically just for show, clearly having been comfortable for too long.

"Very good."

Su Xiao leaped from the mangrove tree, jumped several times between the soap bubbles in mid-air, and arrived on the ground.

There was no need to rush to assassinate the Celestial Dragons yet. He wanted to know the specific situation in the district more, and he also needed pirate reputation, so he decided to go to the district to join in the fun.

Shallow Dream's pirate reputation had surpassed Su Xiao's. Now, on the leaderboard, Shallow Dream was in first place, Kutu was second, and Su Xiao was third. Because killing enemies couldn't gain pirate reputation, the gap between the three wasn't too large.

Sitting on a bubble car rented by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, one man and one dog rushed toward the district.

Sabaody Archipelago, district, inside a bar.

A heavy smell of blood permeated the bar. A man lay on the ground, his throat slit, but he wasn't dead yet, his body twitching unconsciously.

Several men and women were standing or sitting in the bar, some wiping weapons, others picking out drinks on the liquor shelf.

"Whose turn is it this time?"

A short-haired woman spoke. From her attire, it could be seen that she was a Some Qiyuezhe.

"Me."

A hoarse voice came, and a short, skinny man who was skin and bones raised his arm.

"Scorpion, don't be too greedy. The woman captured alive last time was solved by you."

The short-haired woman glanced at the short, skinny man named Scorpion. His act of wanting to have a go while it was still hot made her very disgusted.

"It... it was me."

A weak voice came, and one could tell that the person speaking lacked confidence.

"Is it Little Mantou's turn?"

The short-haired woman scanned the people around her. The man picking out drinks on the liquor shelf nodded.

"Then hurry up, be clean, and dispose of the body."

The short-haired woman crossed her legs, the gold earring on her left ear swaying.

"Okay, okay."

The female Some Qiyuezhe named Little Mantou stood up. She came to the dying man, gripping a milky white staff tightly with both hands.

Just as Little Mantou was about to strike down with the staff, the short-haired woman suddenly interrupted her.

"Are you planning to smash his brains out? Use a sharp weapon."

"Oh, oh,"

Little Mantou didn't know how she had promoted to Tier 4. When she killed, she was actually a bit nervous.

"Nanny is really happy, protected by teammates all the way to Tier 4. Girl, your nickname 'Little Mantou' makes me very concerned. Your face isn't round; could it be that other body parts resemble little mantou? If that's the case, I'm very interested in you."

The skinny man let out a strange laugh. When Little Mantou heard this, her thin lips pursed.

"Survive, I can do it, I am a Tier 4 Some Qiyuezhe."

Little Mantou muttered a few words, took a deep breath, and her gaze became firm. She put away her healing staff and took out a dagger of not-low quality. However, Little Mantou didn't notice the greedy gazes around her; these were hungry wolves who had broken into Tier 4 alone.

"Woof."

After a dog bark, the entire bar became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

"Little Mantou, what's going on! A dog entered here, and you didn't give a warning? Is your perception ability just for show?"

The short-haired woman roared. Her eyelids drooped. It wasn't just ordinary people who saw this look from her; even a murderer standing in front of her would turn and flee.

"I, I..."

Little Mantou stared blankly at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. She had once been a nanny + perception in a medium-sized adventure group. Even if her personality was a bit soft, she wouldn't make such a low-level mistake. She, simply, hadn't perceived Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang at all.

"Scorpion, deal with this dog, dog meat soup tonight."

"That works too."

Scorpion walked slowly toward Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. The feeling Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang gave it was just a slightly larger dog, looking like a Husky. There were countless strange creatures in the Pirate World, so this wasn't anything special.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang crouched on the ground, looking up at the skinny man walking toward it, meaning: "You'd better not come near me, my master's temper isn't very good."

"Hmm? This dog's eyes..."

Scorpion's footsteps stopped.

"You 'wise' guy, what's there to be tangled about with a dog's eyes? If it were another Some Qiyuezhe's summon, it wouldn't appear in this way. Also, Little Mantou, hurry up and solve that guy; he's about to die from blood loss, and don't say we didn't follow the mandatory contract."

The short-haired woman was clearly a bit impatient. Scorpion shrugged, pulled out the short blade at his waist, and walked toward Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

"Remember to run when you see humans in your next life."

Scorpion made a gesture to throw the short blade in his hand. Just then, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang raised its front paw, and the fleshy dog paw made a pistol shape.

Seeing Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog paw, Scorpion was stunned.

"*Biu. *"

A peculiar sound came from Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's mouth. Heaven knows how it made that tone.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang made a shooting gesture at Scorpion, and the wooden wall in front of the bar shattered.

*Snap*, Scorpion's upper body shattered, blood and minced meat exploded, splashing Little Mantou's face.

*Bang! *

Scorpion's lower body was embedded into the bar counter, wooden fragments flying, full of violent aesthetics. ===== CHAPTER 1335 =====
