Chapter 186: Prologue to the Conspiracy
Below the stage, the giant prince Loki, as a special guest of the Expo, sat in a spacious seat.
He watched the auction from the beginning and even bid on some interesting items.
but--
When the slaves of the Long-Handed Tribe were auctioned off one after another, Loki had a bad feeling. As a member of the same special race, he was particularly resistant to things like the slave trade.
As expected, the slave auction of the Giant Tribe followed closely behind the Long-Hand Tribe!
Loki almost lost control.
The giant elders and giant prophets beside him pressed down hard on his trembling body, suppressing Loki, the giant prince.
If Loki is really allowed to do whatever he wants, the giants will face a devastating disaster!
This is no joke!
Even though it was the most powerful country in the world, Elbaf was unable to resist that man, the blond man who sat idle and at the head of the table - Leon Lex!
If Loki is really blinded by anger and shame, it will not only be he who will pay the price, but also the giants behind him and the entire Elbaf!
The more powerful the force, the more they can understand how terrifying Lex is. He never loses his temper, or even has no temper. He is always friendly to everyone and looks like a warm and welcoming person.
but--
Don't be silly, after all, this is the most powerful, the most powerful, the most influential person in this ocean today!
He had no outstanding personality or temper, which made people even more afraid of him. People just treated him like a god and did not dare to overstep their boundaries in the slightest.
Now, he just sat quietly in that seat, and all those who were unwilling and did not support the trafficking of special race slaves were silent.
I dare not spread any rumors for fear of dying on the spot.
This is an invisible mental pressure, even far greater than the pressure of domineering aura.
At least--
At this moment, not only Prince Loki of the Giants, but also Cobra, Li Yun, and even Prince Neptune of Fishman Island, all just clenched their fists and lowered their heads, not daring to make the slightest move of resistance.
Seeing his own people being treated as commodities, being bought with Baileys by these greedy nobles, being fought over, locked in iron cages, and stripped of their clothes...
Loki is going crazy!
He stared at Morgans on the stage, then widened his huge red eyes and looked at Lex who seemed to be nonchalant, as if he wanted to eat them alive.
next moment--
The Red Earl and Venus beside Lex frowned slightly. Both of them had reached the highest level of observation color, especially the Red Earl, who was already a top figure who had already stepped half a foot into the realm of God!
"… Reid, the Elbaf reptiles seem to be unwilling to give up…"
Venus said to the Red Earl lightly.
The Red Earl did not refute. Although Venus and himself were not essentially in the same camp, Loki seemed to have gone mad. He locked his aura on Lex, as if he was seeking death.
The Red Earl nodded slightly:
"Well."
next moment--
Red Earl and Venus attack at the same time!
Observation Haki: Mental Lock! ! ~
Conqueror's Color·God's Roar!! ~
The domineering aura of the two was invisible and without any gorgeous special effects, but their speed was so fast that they almost instantly surpassed everyone present and pressed towards Loki in an instant!
In an instant——
Loki seemed to have received an unimaginable shock. His brain froze, his eyes turned white, his spirit collapsed instantly, and he fainted!
Several giant elders around were in a panic, with a bit of fear and resentment. They looked at Lex in the front row, and at the Red Earl and Venus on both sides of him, with fear and unwillingness in their hearts.
But he didn't dare to be too obvious, so he could only help Loki up and flee away.
As for the giant fellows who were being auctioned off as commodities on the stage, they had no ability to save them!
Venus, who was sitting on the right side of Lex, saw this scene and felt more comfortable than ever before.
"Lex, you did great!"
Lex remained expressionless and just nodded slightly.
There was no change in expression on his calm face, making it difficult to read.
But Venus didn't care much. Lex could do this and auction off various races at the feast facing the sea. This had already won Venus' deep recognition.
On the stage, Morganus could see the representatives of the giants helping Prince Loki off the stage. He also saw Venus's happy smile and Lex's calm and somewhat indifferent expression below the stage. Morganus felt cold all over.
With his wisdom, he had long seen that this World Expo was just a cover, especially the auction. How could a scheming and ambitious man like Lex just kindly invite everyone to enjoy the event?
He must have a deeper conspiracy that the world cannot see!
At least, when Prince Loki fainted and the giants and representatives of a group of special races left the stage in an ugly manner, Morganus knew that his future days would be difficult.
Although he was not the organizer behind the auction, when he stood in this position, holding the microphone, and auctioning off slaves of various races, he was equivalent to standing on the opposite side of some people.
This is also a conspiracy, no, it is an open conspiracy.
An open conspiracy against Big News Morgans!
Let Morgans act as the host of the World Expo and the auctioneer of the auction. This will give him the opportunity to be the center of attention in front of the whole world, personally participate in major events, and become a celebrity. Even if he dies, Morgans will not refuse this opportunity.
And once Morgans really did these things, he would have no way out!
He has been completely tied to death on the pirate ship of Rex, this huge ship! ~
Below the stage, Rex, who sensed the changes in Morganas's heart with his observation Haki, twitched his eyebrows slightly. He looked at Morganas with a frown. Morganas was startled and immediately got back into the state and continued to host the auction.
"OK!~ Enough talk! I'm sure you are all envious of the giant slave Saint Rozward just bought, but it doesn't matter! We have prepared more goods! Next, the starting price of this giant slave is ————~ 300 million Baileys!!"
Morgans once again lifted a huge red curtain, revealing a giant slave in an iron cage. This was a male giant with a strong build and explosive muscles all over his body. His neck was bound by a heavy iron chain, and his huge eyes were full of numbness.
The fifteen-meter-tall figure aroused great excitement among the people present.
It would be such a blessing to get a slave of this level!
The Tianlong people were eager to buy it directly and didn't want to wait a moment longer.
You know, in this era when pirates have not yet become rampant, such giant slaves are so rare that it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the mythical beasts of the slave world.
As everyone was bidding one after another, in the corner of the auction hall—
Two men passing by were whispering to each other:
"Karp, did you find anything?"
"Of course I've discovered that the donuts on Tuotuo Island don't have enough sugar in them. They're really dishonest merchants."
“…That’s not what I’m asking!”
Roger was helpless. How could Garp be even more of a bastard than him?
After a pause, Roger continued:
"It's the slaves in the cages."
After hearing this, Karp looked coldly at Lex in the front row:
"What's there to mention about that guy's conspiracy and ambition?"
Although Garp was grateful that Lex treated him to free dessert, he was very disgusted by the idea of slaves.
Roger looked at Karp speechlessly, then said:
"...No, it's the deep hearts of these slaves...How can they be completely emotionless?"
Roger possesses the top-level observation ability to listen to the sounds of all things, so he can naturally be sensitive to other people's emotions.
These slaves of a special race who were trafficked had almost no humanity in their hearts. They seemed to have lost all their emotions and were just like machines.
