One Piece: Starting with the enslavement of Wano Country!

Page 9

Of course, if they keep bidding, Stussy covering his mouth won't help.

The beautiful host glanced around the silent auction hall, knowing that even if she exaggerated the fruit's power, no one would bid.

Then the auctioneer's gavel slammed down, and the beautiful auctioneer announced in a loud voice:

"Congratulations to this distinguished guest for acquiring the Encouragement Fruit for 600 million Berries."

"This concludes the auction. Thank you again for your presence, and we wish you all a wonderful time in Water City!"

After speaking, the beautiful host bowed deeply, once again giving the gentlemen present a feast for the eyes.

At this auction, Kaido spent 600 million Berries to buy two Zoan-type Devil Fruits, Raylo spent 600 million to buy the Encouragement Fruit, and Stussy spent 80 million to buy a necklace, for a total of 1.28 billion Berries.

The boss personally escorted the three of them to the door, almost fawningly.

There was originally a group of pirates lying in wait at the entrance.

However, he abandoned the idea after recognizing Kaido and Leero.

Looking at the sky and the ground, laughing heartily.

"This sky is truly magnificent!"

"This land is just... this land is just too much!"

"Who says it isn't? This tree is truly a huge tree!"

What a load of rubbish! Each of them has a bounty of hundreds of millions, allowing them to rule over Water Seven and even the first half of the Grand Line like emperors.

Stussy, wearing the 80 million dollar "Heart of the Ocean" necklace, was stunningly beautiful. Upon seeing this, she covered her mouth and giggled softly.

The thought of Kaido and Rayleigh spending a whopping 1.2 billion Berries tonight immediately dampened her spirits.

Those two damn spendthrift brats!

Stussy no longer wanted to link arms with Leilo and walked ahead alone, pouting.

Kaido slung the "Eight Precepts" over his shoulder and grinned as he looked at the two Zoan-type Devil Fruits he was carrying.

Two more "beasts" have appeared. Sooner or later, he will have a hundred "beasts" to match the name "Hundred Beasts" that Raylo gave to this pirate crew.

Lei Luo smiled as he admired the graceful Stusi swaying in front of him.

Wow, that tiny waist!

This girl is so greedy; these past two days she's watched them spend money like water while she gets nothing in return.

I'm afraid I won't be able to resist; I expect I'll find a way to climb into your bed in the next few days.

Back on the pirate ship, Stussy went straight to his room without looking back, and locked the door.

At this moment, the beautiful young woman sat at the table, her delicate hands supporting her face, her brows furrowed, lost in thought.

The money wasn't actually hers, but she had long considered it hers. Every time she saw them spend it, her heart bled.

How can I gain control of the pirate crew's finances?

If this continues, they'll squander even a mountain of gold.

However, I am of low rank and have little influence, and my strength is even more inadequate. I can manage to fight some henchmen, but to ask me to fight Kaido and that 500 million bounty admiral is not just a dream, it's wishful thinking.

But I'm really unwilling to accept this. Mountains of gold and silver are right in front of me, but I don't get a share.

Do I really have to submit to that brat?

The boy's gaze towards her never concealed his naked desire.

Yes, that kid does look like he's not even twenty years old yet. Although I take good care of myself, I'm actually much older than him.

Even if she were to submit to him, it wouldn't be considered a loss; in fact, it could be considered a gain.

After so many years of venturing out to sea, it's hard to convince myself that I was defeated by a mere kid. I can't get over that mental hurdle.

As he pondered this, Stussy couldn't help but begin to resent Whitebeard.

That damned man! I was so close to him, yet he didn't even take me with him during the God Valley battle.

The Whitebeard Pirates are doing very well in the New World now, and they haven't invited me to join them.

They don't care about any past relationships at all! All they do is greed for money.

The night grew deeper and deeper, and all was quiet.

Stussy stopped worrying about it.

One cannot give up money for the sake of dignity.

Chapter 14 A Wise Choice, Let's Continue.

Leilo knew that Stussy couldn't hold back, but he didn't expect her to be unable to hold back even for one night.

They just delivered it to our door so eagerly.

It's not that slow after all!

Stussy didn't change her clothes after returning from the auction, and she clearly saw a burning desire in Lei Luo's eyes when he saw her dressed like that.

She wore the same moon-white off-the-shoulder evening gown, which perfectly accentuated the graceful curves of Stussy's shoulders and neck.

On her bare shoulders and neck, the "Heart of the Ocean" blue gemstone necklace, worth 80 million peggs, adorned the hollow of her collarbone, complementing her fair skin.

Moonlight streamed in through the half-open window, and Stussy stood in the moonlight, a breathtakingly beautiful sight, like a poem or a painting.

Wow, this woman...

He's getting old, and he's also greedy and heartless.

But it's really beautiful!

Leilo's Adam's apple bobbed, and his aggressive gaze swept over Stusi.

Stussy walked gracefully toward him, a seductive smile playing on her lips: "What, are you captivated by me?"

Lei Luo stared intently at Stussy's figure, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Yes, at my age, it's hard to resist the temptation of an aunt like you."

"Not polite!"

Stussy walked up to Reilly, spat lightly, and gently stroked his chest with his fingers.

Lei Luo grabbed her hand and pulled her closer. "I wonder what brings Ms. Stussy here so late at night?"

Stussy looked up at him, his eyes filled with provocation. "Aren't you just asking the obvious? You know exactly what I want."

Lei Luo, feigning ignorance, said with a half-smile, "I don't know!"

Stussy's face instantly turned cold. He broke free from Lei Luo's grip and asked bluntly, "Enough with the nonsense, how much money do you actually have?"

Lei Luo spread his hands and shrugged: "Didn't I tell you this when you and Quinn first arrived?"

"Since you've asked again, I can answer you again: a lot, so much that no matter how you spend it, you could never spend it all."

Stussy frowned; she was different at the beginning than she is now.

When she first arrived, she thought Kaido and Leylo were saying that to appease Queen.

However, judging from the way they've spent money these past few days, the Beasts Pirates really don't value money. In other words, just as they say, they have an inexhaustible supply of money!

But where did all that money come from?!

Stussy voiced her question: "Where did you get so much money?"

Lei Luo walked back to bed, put his hands behind his head, and lay down. "I have nothing to say about that."

Stussy winked at Lei Luo and giggled charmingly, "We're partners, aren't we? We're in the same boat, why couldn't you tell me?"

Lei Luo's lips curled up, and he said jokingly, "Don't make me laugh, Ms. Stussy. I've heard a bit about your character in the Navy. Some secrets are better left unsaid. If you really want to know, then show some sincerity."

Stussy's eyes flickered, and she had already made up her mind. She slowly walked to the bedside, her delicate body swaying slightly as she sat down next to Lei Luo, gently stroking his cheek with her hand.

"What kind of sincerity do you want? As long as you can tell me this secret, I'll give you anything."

Lei Luo grabbed her hand, pulled her down onto him, and whispered in her ear, "You're so smart, you should know what I want."

Stussy blushed, stood up, and timidly reached her hand under her skirt.

With lightning speed, she pulled a syringe from under her skirt and plunged it into Lei Luo's abdomen.

The feedback I received was...

A smile involuntarily spread across Stussy's face; this was a specially made potion from "MADS".

Lei Luo, Lei Luo, you still fell into my hands.

With a victorious smile, Stussy slowly turned his head to look at his masterpiece.

Instantly, his smile froze.

Lei Luo was unharmed; the needle wasn't inserted into Lei Luo's body, but rather his body pushed it directly into the syringe.

Stussy stiffened her neck and turned her gaze back. Rello was looking at her with a mocking smile, saying, "You really are dishonest, Ms. Stussy."

The Teng Snake's defense is no less than the Azure Dragon's!

"You...you...how could this happen?" Stussy's eyes were filled with terror as his plan failed, and he spoke haltingly.

That's impossible! That bastard clearly didn't use Armament Haki just now, so how did he manage to defend against it?

Lei Luo smiled and snatched the syringe from Stussy's hand, then, to her horrified gaze, drank the liquid in the syringe in one gulp.

Stussy's eyes widened in disbelief. What was this person doing?!

Lei Luo smacked his lips and threw the syringe away in disgust. "It doesn't taste good!"

Stussy quickly made a guess upon hearing this and asked incredulously, "Are you immune to poison?"

Lei Luo smiled and nodded. "A drug to temporarily control nerves. Ms. Stussy wants to use this needle to make me obey for a short time and find out the source of the money, right?"

"What a pity, it failed."

Stussy was completely flustered; he was blinded by money. How could someone with a 500 million bounty be so easy to deal with?

What should we do now?!

Lei Luo found it amusing to watch the fascinating changes in Stussy's expression.

She put her hands back under her head, a smile playing on her lips: "Let's continue what we were doing, Ms. Stussy."

What happened just now? Stussy's pretty face flushed red, and her ears turned burning red.

"Are you sure? Do you even know what my relationship with Whitebeard is? You..."

"I know." Before he could finish speaking, Lei Luo interrupted him.

"Then you still want...aren't you afraid of Whitebeard..." Stussy was greatly puzzled. This man's mind must be full of lust.

“That’s why I want it.” As he spoke, Lei Luo’s lips curled into a smug smile, and he reached out and gently pinched Stussy’s chin, forcing her to raise her head.

"You pervert!"

Stussy cursed at Leilo, shook off Leilo's hand, and turned to leave.

“Miss Stussy, if you dare to step out that door, I guarantee this will be your last night in the world.”

Lei Luo's voice drifted over, deep and dangerous.

Stussy stopped in his tracks, feigning shock: "You dare to kill me on this ship? Aren't you afraid of Kaido's wrath?"

Lei Luo sneered, "What crime are you asking? This is my room. You're the one who tried to take advantage of me."

"Now, I'm giving you two choices. First, you can try and see if I dare to kill you?"

"And the second one?" Stussy asked without thinking. Did she seem like someone who would rather die than submit?

Lei Luo's eyes swept over Stusi with a blatant gaze.

"Second, obediently continue what you were doing. From now on, whenever I have a need, you must come to my room unconditionally to satisfy me."

"Choose carefully, Ms. Stussy. I really don't want to see such a beautiful woman die young."

Stussy bit her lip, weighing the pros and cons in her mind. In the end, she chose to compromise.

"I choose second place."

"That's right, a smart choice, let's continue."
