Chapter 657: Aloof Red: How about Adding Me for One?
"That sounds nice, but there aren't many people who would dare to defy him, are there?" Crocodile snorted.
At that moment, a high and cold voice steeply appeared.
"It does sound good, so how about adding me to it?"
In the two people's suddenly contracted pupils, the middle-aged man carrying an umbrella appeared in their line of sight.
"Aloof Red!"
"Patrick Redfield!"
Both of them exclaimed at the same time; they were surprised by this uninvited guest's appearance.
"That's right, it's me." Redfield nodded slightly and walked in and sat down in front of the two men in a dignified manner, not treating himself as an outsider at all.
"Heh! Is it true that you didn't bring him here?" Crocodile turned a suspicious gaze to Barrett.
After all, these two had a precedent of working together at the Pirate Festival twelve years ago.
"I did have the idea, but I couldn't find the man." Bullet calmed down and said in a deep voice.
"Please don't misunderstand, I did come uninvited." Redfield smiled and narrowed his eyes, giving an evil and seductive feeling, "To be precise, it was I who accidentally overheard your minds from somewhere next door. You should also have heard of it, my Kenbunshoku Haki that listens to the heart and even reads memories!"
The two faces slightly eased as long as they were not exposed, but, at the same time as they were relentless, their hearts rose with infinite scorn.
This kind of ability is too foul!
"Didn't you used to hate your own ability very much? Or even, actively closed your ability because you saw too much of human ugliness?" About this former collaborator of his own, Bullet thought he still had some understanding.
"Re-living once again, regarding life, of course, will also have some new interpretation and perception!" Redfield closed his eyes as if he was lamenting the beauty of life.
Looking at Redfield's demonic face, which is even younger than the two of them, Bullet and Crocodile could not help but fall into silence. Born with a special Kenbunshoku Haki, not to mention that their talent is also incomparably powerful, and now there is a second life, this guy's life let people envy to madness!
After a moment of silence, Bullet said indifferently, "Since there is a strong help like you willing to join, we certainly welcome."
Crocodile naturally had no opinion; of course, his strength is the weakest; he also had no way to comment.
Redfield laughed lightly twice, "So, this so-called alliance is the three of us?"
"It's the Avengers!" Bullet emphasized, then added, "Four for now plus Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach!"
"That guy?" Redfield nodded gently, "Although the person is a little ugly, but the strength is not bad!"
The corners of Bullet's mouth twitched slightly, not to comment, decisively changed the subject, "Originally, it is true that the three of us are not sure about dealing with him, but with the addition of you, this matter is much better!
"Is that so? I'm looking forward to it!" The corner of Redfield's mouth hung with a subtle smile.
...
Four Yonko, two Fleet Admirals, and the Shichibukai, the Revolutionary Army, and government agents, pirate hunters; in short, they can find all kinds of mixed forces here. They maintain a delicate balance so that the people who converge here feel incomparably depressed and dull.
It is like standing on the crater of a raging volcano, not knowing when the eruption of magma will swallow it.
In such a depressing atmosphere, three days quickly passed!
The auction venue is on the top floor of the Emperor of Gold Hotel; as the only eight-star hotel in this world, the decoration here is not enough to describe the gorgeous and extravagant.
Like even the air, the smell of gold was permeating.
The dome is a transparent membrane that can adjust the luminosity so that the VIPs in the venue can enjoy the sky while not being stung by the sun.
And the seat here is also very new, surprisingly, floating in a mid-air cloud bubble. After sitting in, you can manipulate the clouds to fly around.
Of course, to have enough space for VIPs to sit on the clouds to enjoy the auction from all angles, the Emperor of Gold Hotel's top floor was purposely renovated and expanded.
The whole venue almost could fit in a lake.
There is a round stage at the front of the venue, which is used for the host to display the lots and conduct the auction.
At the back of the stage, there is a vast light screen, projected by the projector Den Den Mushi, on which the list and details of this auction written.
And the emcee presiding over the auction this time was the Gold Emperor Tesoro himself!
"What time is it?" Tesoro, who had straightened his instrument, asked towards the side.
"It's already eight fifty, and the auction will start in ten minutes!" Baccarat replied respectfully.
Putting on his ten gold rings and standing in front of the mirror, Tesoro nodded in satisfaction, "Get everyone ready, it's time to start!"
...
The auction was about to start, but Longinus did not appear; with his status, he really could not raise interest in those auctions; he just had to arrive before the final auction started.
At this moment, he is in his room, receiving the sudden arrival of guests.
"You want me to stop a few people for you?" Beneath a green trench coat, Dragon asked with a frown on his forehead.
"It's also easy to be targeted when the wind is too strong!" Longinus sighed helplessly.
"Is there a need for this? With your strength, even if there are more enemies, at most, they will form a suppression against you, right?" Dragon mused, "Moreover, if we can't find a suitable reason, the relationship between us may also be suspected."
"Although there will not be any danger, but there will still be some impact on my next actions." Longinus explained, "As for the reason, this kind of thing should not be difficult for you, right?"
"The next action?" Dragon pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes, I will help you!"
"Of course, I will not let you work for nothing in this matter, senpai." Longinus smiled faintly and spread his right hand, a chip lying in the palm of his hand.
"What is this?" Dragon cupped the fragment and asked in confusion.
"This is the key that can make Bartholomew Kuma reboot, in other words, the key to bring back his consciousness!" Longinus said lightly.
"What do you say?" With Dragon's mind, all nearly a quiver to pinch the chip, after he reacted, he hurriedly used the breeze to lift the chip from the palm of his hand; he was even worried about being stained with sweat and dust.
"As early as five years ago, the beginning of the Full Body Project, I have asked Dr. Vegapunk, if the research is carried out to the final stage, I asked him to preserve the consciousness of Kuma in some form."
Longinus said rather emotionally, "I didn't know at the time that he was one of your people, but I felt that a king who could take the blame for his country and use it to protect his citizens didn't deserve that kind of unfair treatment!"
"Is this the consciousness of Kuma?" Looking to his right hand, Dragon was in a stirring mood, only to feel as if he was holding the Red Line Continent as heavy as in the palm of his hand.
"Thank you for helping us recover our reliable comrade!" Dragon solemnly thanked.
"No need to be polite, but please be patient for a while." Longinus said thoughtfully, "If Kuma's consciousness revives early, it will be very difficult to do on my side."
"I understand!"
PS: Even this chapter barely rushed out; everyone goes to sleep first.
