Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 1364: Chapter 75: All Together (4th Update)

Number 1 Red-tree Area, inside the auction house under the Donquixote Family.

This place is the same as most auction houses, with a stage inside used for pre-show entertainment and displaying ’goods’. Further outside are tiered seating areas, and even further out is the entrance.

The auction house is now packed to capacity. The news of a merfolk about to be auctioned has attracted a lot of guests.

”Thank you all for waiting.”

The auction house is somewhat dimly lit. On the stage, a staff member holds a microphone and gestures with one hand downwards, signaling the bidders below to be quiet.

”The monthly routine Number One GR Human Auction is about to begin. The host, of course, is...”

The staff invites the host of the auction, Disco, dressed in luxurious attire, onto the stage, and the lights shine on him.

”Hello everyone, we have prepared high-quality slaves for you today, you are very lucky this time, the popular item...”

After a few words of nonsense from Disco, the auction begins amidst a heated atmosphere.

Backstage in the cell holding the slaves, an old man with white hair and rimless glasses keeps his eyes closed.

”What... is happening here.”

The white-haired old man’s eyes open with a hint of confusion in them.

Outside the auction house, numerous Contractors hide in the shadows, waiting for the start of a ’carnival’.

On a tall red tree half a kilometer away from the auction house, this red tree is at least a hundred meters high. Su Xiao lies on a branch at the top, draped in a grass-green velvet cloth, with the Duke of Extinction placed in front of him.

”How are things progressing?”

Su Xiao speaks, and moments later, he receives a reply from Bubu Wang on the team channel with only three words, ’entered the venue’.

Bubu Wang means that the mission target Celestial Dragons have already appeared.

The atmosphere inside the auction house becomes more intense. At the front row of the audience seating, three fat men and women in white robes sit in special seats, looking slightly impatient. Among these three, two are Su Xiao’s targets, Saint Rozwald and Saint Charlos, father and son.

Saint Rozwald is an old man wearing sunglasses, and beside him is his son, Saint Charlos. As for the other female Celestial Dragon, Shalria, although she is Saint Rozwald’s daughter, she is not Su Xiao’s target.

Rozwald and Charlos, as long as these two are killed and Su Xiao survives for 12 hours, he completes his promotion/main task.

The auction continues, the relatively elder Rozwald is already drowsy, but when a ’new item’ is pushed onto the stage, he suddenly becomes more alert.

”It’s been a long time since merfolk were sold here.”

Rozwald’s voice is low, audible only to his son and daughter.

”Isn’t it because Whitebeard is protecting those dead fish.”

The female Celestial Dragon Shalria speaks, not interested in the merfolk on the stage, but instead more interested in some young pirates in the audience, unfortunately, those pirates are not up for auction.

”Doflamingo is a coward. After Fishman Island became Whitebeard’s territory, whenever I wanted to buy merfolk slaves, he always refused.”

Charlos sniffs his nose, looking disgruntled.

”Don’t say that, Doflamingo is one of us. The auction has started, and this time the merfolk is yours.”

Rozwald is evidently more mature, aware that Doflamingo is not easy to provoke.

”Everyone, let’s begin, the starting price for the merfolk is...”

On stage, Disco drags out his words, but before he can finish, Celestial Dragon Charlos raises his fat hand.

”Five billion!!”

The voice echoes through the large auction house, overwhelming all other bidders, including Nami from the Straw Hat Pirates, who wanted to redeem the merfolk Kaimi through normal means.

The auction house falls into a deathly silence.

On stage, Disco’s expression turns awkward. This bid far exceeds the market price, and he cannot possibly receive so much money, even if Charlos himself bid; the consequences of swindling a Celestial Dragon are severe.

While Charlos’s idiocy is his own issue, if Disco genuinely dares to accept this five billion, the consequences would be dire. Though the auction house wouldn’t be affected, as it is Doflamingo’s enterprise, Disco personally would face severe repercussions.

As for not accepting the five billion, would Doflamingo let him off? The answer is no, perhaps next time, Disco might appear among the lots instead, transitioning from host to auction item.

In the deathly silent auction house, Disco prepared to struggle a bit.

”Is there... anyone who will offer more than five billion?”

Just as Disco finishes speaking, a sudden explosion erupts from the auction house ceiling, sending building fragments flying; a bullet shoots into the venue.

With a loud bang, Saint Charlos, who was raising his right hand with fingers spread, suddenly has his upper body explode, flesh and blood flying, splattering his father Saint Rozwald and sister Shalria with blood and gore.

Before anyone could react, two more bullets fly in.

Two bursts of blood mist explode, and Saint Rozwald and Shalria, father and daughter, follow in Saint Charlos’s footsteps.

The formerly lavish special seats become stained with blood as three Celestial Dragons perish instantly, the whole family dying neatly.

”What is... happening here...”

On stage, Disco’s legs begin to tremble, his whole body shaking like a sieve.

In the audience, Super Rookies Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law almost simultaneously stand up, understanding what the death of Celestial Dragons means, they decisively flee.

The Straw Hat Pirates group barely react to what happened, or perhaps they simply don’t understand the significance of Celestial Dragons dying here.

”Straw Hat.”

Fishman Hatchan steps back a few paces.

”Take Kaimi and let’s escape.”

Hatchan understands the implications of Celestial Dragons dying.

”Someone!!”

Disco screams, his cry sounding despairing.

Half a kilometer away, Su Xiao packs up the Duke of Extinction, cuffing the lock set to his waist, and leaps towards the base of the tree.

Zzz~

The lock set scrapes, he just lands when Bubu Wang and A Mu arrive nearby.

”Withdraw.”

Su Xiao leads Bubu Wang and A Mu to the port for retreat; currently, the best escape route is by sea, he plans to drift on the ocean for 12 hours, which is now the best choice.

As for ’the most dangerous place is the safest’, don’t joke, the World Government would definitely search the Shapodi Archipelago thoroughly.

In the original story, the three Celestial Dragons were only beaten, and Kizaru came to the island to suppress.

Is Kizaru still coming to suppress now? Of course not. Killing Celestial Dragons is a direct challenge to the World Government.

Su Xiao races towards the coastline. The Shapodi Archipelago is too close to the World Government, almost right under them.

Three minutes after the Celestial Dragons’ death, Su Xiao arrives at the rock reef area near the port, where there are practically no ships close, reducing the chance of an encounter with the Navy.

In the crevice between a few rocks on the shore, a layer of branches covers the top of a rock. Su Xiao lifts the branches, revealing a small fishing boat underneath.

This boat isn’t powered by sails; Su Xiao has installed a motor at the rear of the fishing boat.

One man, a dog, and a bull swiftly board the boat, Su Xiao gripping the handle of the motor, pushing the throttle to the limit, splashing water as the modified fishing boat shoots out with a swish, breaking the waves into the sea.
