Giotto didn't expect Fisher Tiger to die so quickly. He planned to persuade him, but it was too late.
However, it was his life. Even if he freed the slave with a human, he had been enslaved by human before. In addition, this time he was tricked by humans. He couldn't possibly trust all human.
If Giotto was by his side, maybe he could convince Tiger, but Giotto himself was not confident if they just spoke through Den Den Mushi.
However, Fisher Tiger's death meant that the Sun Pirates would fall apart. Despite calling themselves pirate crew, they didn't resemble a real pirate so far. All they had done was freeing slaves. However, after that, Jinbei would definitely return to Ryusu Island to continue his job as External Advisor, while his men would most likely return to Fish-Man Island.
However, Along's faction were different. He harbored hatred towards humans. Tiger could still keep Arlong's hatred at bay, but Jinbei definitely could not.
"Jinbei, sorry...we can't do anything about Tiger's death, but this is the path he chose. I believe that even if he knew what he would face in advance, he would still make the same decision. What you need to tell me now is whether you're facing any danger or not. Do you need the Family's backup?"
Compared to what would happen to Sun Pirates, Giotto was more worried about Jinbei's safety. After all, they were ambushed by the Navy, so it was likely that they were not out of danger.
Although there were no Varia's forces around the island, it was better to mobilize some of them immediately than doing nothing!
"There is no danger for the time being. You don't need to worry about me, Boss." At this moment, Jinbei also tried his best to hold back his tears.
"I see. Return to Fish-Man Island immediately! I will send people to pick you up near Sabaody Archipelago to prevent the Marine from killing you all. The sea is your territory. Try to avoid the Marine as much as possible until you rendezvous with our men. Don't fight head-on, understand?" Giotto immediately gave an order to Jinbei.
The Marine won't let go of the Sun Pirates so easily, but they wouldn't send too many troops to deal with the Sun Pirates. If Jinbei just intended to evacuate, it should not be that hard.
As long as they could return to Fish-Man Island, then they don't have to worry about the Marine. Fish-Man Island was under Vongola Family's protection now. Vongola Family wouldn't just sit back if anyone stirred up trouble there. With Vongola Family's prestige and strength, no one would casually pick a fight with them.
Moreover, Fisher Tiger was already dead. It wouldn't mean much for the Marine if they chased the rest of the Fish-Men!
"I understand, Boss... Thank you!"
After answering, Jinbei hung up the Den-Den Mushi and set his sights on Fish-Man Island.
On the other side, Giotto also handed Den Den Mushi over to Aria and said, "Aria, inform Issho about this matter and ask him to pick up Jinbei. After all, Jinbei is a member of External Advisors, but Issho alone is not enough to deter the Marine. Send G and Ugetsu with him! With two Guardians and the leader of External Advisor, the Marine should not act rashly!"
Kage Island, Donquixote Family Auction House.
"1.33 billion Belly! Anyone can offer a higher price?" The host shouted excitedly on the stage even though he knew that this sky-high price was part of their scheme!
"Two billion, Belly!"
At this time, Tesoro suddenly stated a price that shocked everyone. He had a smile on his face, and his face was full of confidence. Even if this price sounded a bit ridiculous, the host believed that Tesoro indeed had that much money judging from his appearance. However, even though he knew that Gold-Gold Fruit was really valuable, wasn't two billion a bit too high?
The 1.33 billion Belly earlier was the price that Donquixote Family's set. Now, someone actually raised it to two billion!
To be honest, even though his young master said that this Devil Fruit was not for sale, he personally believed that it might be okay to sell it for two billionBelly. However, he was just a host and was in no position make a decision.
He couldn't just stop the auction temporarily and ask for the opinion of his young master, so he just winked as a signal for his men to raise the price.
"2.1 billion!"
"2.3 billion!"
The host's underling did as signalled and raised the price. However, Tesoro had a smile on his face, as if his plan had succeded.
"Bam!"
At this time, Tesoro slammed the chair, and then pretended to be angry. "Do you think everyone here is idiots? Paramecia can't be worth more than two billion Belly. If you don't want to sell it, then don't bother. Are you trying to trick everyone? "
Originally, the people present were only surprised that the Gold-Gold Fruit could fetch such a high price, but after hearing what Tesoro said, they immediately came to a realization. It looked like Donquixote Family was playing them all. However, they would not say anything because they didn't want to offend Doflamingo.
At this time, the host's face became grim. He stared at Tesoro: "Sir, don't spout any gibberish if you don't have money. Donquixote Family's reputation is on the line here!"
He was not afraid of Tesoro at all. After all, Pica and Diamante were right outside the auction house. Even if Tesoro was somewhat strong, he would not be able to do anything.
Suddenly, Tesoro rushed toward the stage in the blink of an eye. The Gold-Gold Fruit was already in his hand. "Since you don't plan to follow the rules, then I don't have to either. This thing is mine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a bite...
