"One Piece" Events:
—————————
"THE PIRATE RAKYUBA WAS TAKEN TO EMERGENCY CARE FOR A NOSEBLEED."
"THOUGH HE COLLAPSED, WE HOPE TO BRING HIM BACK TO YOU IN A FEW DAYS!"
Disco lied about the condition of the pirate who just committed suicide so as not to lose more face.
"BUT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!! THE ITEM I AM ABOUT TO PRESENT TO YOU WILL BLOW AWAY ALL YOUR TROUBLES IN AN INSTANT!"
"OUR SUPER SPECIAL ITEM!!!"
Suddenly, the lights illuminated, revealing the distinctive silhouette of a mermaid under the cover.
"PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS SILHOUETTE!!"
"COUNTLESS MEN HAVE SOUGHT AFTER THIS ITEM!!"
"I WON'T SAY ANYMORE, SEE WITH YOUR OWN EYES!!"
"OOH, COULD IT BE!?" The audience was amazed after seeing the familiar silhouette of the mermaid.
Finally, the veil was lifted, and Caimie was revealed.
"ALL THE WAY FROM FISH-MAN ISLAND!!!"
"CAIMIE THE MERMAID!!!"
"UWOOOOОНН!!"
"IT'S REAL!! A REAL YOUNG MERMAID!!"
"CAIMIE!!! IT'S CAIMIE!!" Exclaimed Hatchan.
"GABIEEE!!" Pappag was crying, so he didn't pronounce Caimie's name correctly.
"ALL RIGHT! WE'LL TAKE HER BACK!! WE'VE GOT 200,000,000 TO SPEND!!" Nami raised her hand, ready to bid against anyone.
"… AH!! IT'S HACCHIN AND THE OTHERS!! THEY CAME TO SAVE ME!!" Seeing her friends, Caimie became instantly happy.
"… OH MY GOD…!! IT'S A MERMAID!! THEY'RE SELLING A MERMAID!!" The celestial dragon named Charlos widened his eyes when he saw a real mermaid.
He quickly pointed with his hand. "500 MILLION BERRY!!!" "I'LL PAY 500 MILLION!!!"
"WHA?" Disco was shocked after hearing that.
"…!!! EH…?" Nami and the others' faces darkened after hearing that.

"He took his own life... what a determined pirate."
"He chose death over remaining a slave."
"May your soul rest in peace, free human pirate!"
"These humans don't even show mercy to their own kind, how can we expect them to have mercy on other races..."
In Ohara, Clover, and Vegapunk were speechless, especially after witnessing such tragic situations in the manga.
"As long as there are people like these sellers and buyers in the world, we will never find peace."
"Rob said that anyone whose face appears in the manga and has been involved in suspicious activities will be arrested and prosecuted, most of them being nobles."
"Damn nobles! This title disgusts me... why does the Navy turn a blind eye to such repulsive practices?" exclaimed Saul.
"What the hell! 500 million?!"
"It seems you were anticipating this, Homing... Isn't that right?" Clover asked his friend Homing, who showed no surprise at the turn of events.
"Well, this kid Carlos is a typical spoiled celestial dragon, as you can tell from the moment he appeared seeking a mermaid. So, it's expected for him to pay even more to obtain her."
"I've lived among them long enough to know that."
...
"It appears that Luffy has arrived. Finally, we can expect some entertaining scenes, fufufu~"
Doffy's smile grew wider as he witnessed the chaos caused by Luffy right after his arrival.
He was the type of person who enjoyed seeing the world in chaos...
Luffy, on the other hand, was like a blazing sun, leaving destruction in their wake wherever they went. However, for the weak and vulnerable, Luffy was like a guiding light illuminating their dark world.
"Hahaha! Luffy is finally here! I thought things couldn't get any better." Rosinante happily applauded upon seeing Luffy and Zoro crashing into the auction on the flying fish and destroying the gates.
"Things are only going to get worse, you fool, hahaha!" Enel laughed upon hearing Rosinante's words.
"..." Mihawk chose to remain silent and observe, eagerly anticipating what Luffy would do in this dire situation.
"Ohohoho~ It seems the spiritual pillar of the Strawhat crew has arrived... Based on my knowledge, Luffy will undoubtedly rely on his fists." Issho laughed and felt no pity for what was about to happen to the human auction. Provoking the protagonist of the story would surely lead to dire consequences.
Issho was an ardent opponent of slavery, and had he come across this human auction in the past, he would have summoned meteorites to crush it on earth without any hesitation.
...
On Fishman Island, the anger of the Fish-Men and Mermaids reached its boiling point as they desired to tear apart the so-called Celestial Dragons.
The despicable actions of these scoundrels in the manga shattered their hopes of seeing Caimie free once again.
"This... damn it!"
"How in the world did he pay 500 million all at once?!"
"Are you kidding me?! Nami only has 200 million!"
"That slimy Celestial Dragon! Suddenly, I have an overwhelming urge to remove his head from his shoulders!"
"Somebody, please! Strike down this demonic Celestial Dragon!"
"The expressions on Nami and Caimie's faces break my heart..."
The Fish-Men and Mermaids erupted in outrage as they witnessed the events of the next chapter. The tension in their hearts skyrocketed, accompanied by an endless hatred towards the Celestial Dragons.
After all, these celestial scoundrels excelled at arousing hatred and anger directed toward them...
If they treat their slaves like this in public, what goes on in secret? In Marigoa, where nobody sees them... one can only imagine and shudder.
"It seems death is preferable to becoming a slave in the hands of a Celestial Dragon in this world with Don," Tom observed the reactions of those around him and spoke in a low voice.
"Awaaaah~ That's right! How can they save Caimie now!" Little Franky sobbed with a heavy heart due to Caimie's situation. His tears intensified when the truth was revealed that Hatchan is a Fish-Man.
...
"This has gone too far... these damned humans!"
Arlong's eyes showed red veins as he witnessed the harsh words directed at Hatchan by human men and women.
"Arlong, don't curse all humans. Those who participate in this auction are nothing but scum among humans." Jinbe responded with irritation to Arlong's words.
Jinbe was also furious at the way these humans looked down upon Hatchan, treating him as a disgusting creature. It was the pinnacle of racism in the Pirate World. However, he had the foresight to understand that these humans who spewed such venomous words would eventually end up as mere cannon fodder.
Fisher Tiger: "..."
The entire time, Fisher Tiger silently absorbed the events of the manga.
His expression turned somewhat numb as he witnessed the racist attacks aimed at Hatchan. But soon, he suppressed the rising anger deep in his heart and continued reading.
Until the moment when Hatchan was shot by the mucous Celestial Dragon, that's when everything changed.
"Damn you! Fuck all of you Celestial Trash, you fucking bastard!!!!!" Fisher Tiger's outburst was like a dormant volcano erupting after thousands of years, terrifying the hundreds of people around him.

Teaser from Pat:
"I didn't go," said Rayleigh with a smile that showed his helplessness at that moment, as if he could hear his departed comrade's voice at this moment. Rayleigh recalled the last words Roger said to him.
"These were the last words he said to me..."
(("I'm not gonna die... partner..."))
"The world government and the Marines must have been shocked. They intended the execution to be a warning to the other pirates."
"But with one word before his death, Roger set off the Great Pirate Age...!!"
