In a room similar to the one that Crocodile was working from, there was a screen and a Sea Snail within the room.
One person was seated there that wore a mask over their face that had a wide grin drawn on it.
It was Jester who had entered the underworld and there was a knock at the door, a man and two women had entered the room.
It was number One, Two and Three who had been modified by Alyssia and were sent to integrate with the criminal underworld within the New World.
With the modifications had helped One, Two and Three to grow their own power in the first half of the Grand Line before they moved into the New World so they had been able to settle within their new environment but they still had to be careful.
They patiently gathered their own intelligence and had stayed away from provoking any of the big shots.
Once they were needed, they were there for Alyssia to perform different tasks and they had been assigned to Jester.
Jester looked over towards One then asked. "Is it done?"
One responded quickly. "Yes, I did as you requested."
Jester adjusted himself in his seat and looked more comfortable. "How long before it happens?"
One explained. "You have been waiting for some time for us to complete this great task, I only finished a couple of days ago but it should be scheduled for three days from now. A grand auction will be held and you have been given access to it thanks to your great contribution."
Upon hearing that everything had been arranged, Jester looked more relaxed and waved his hand. "Good job, continue to make the preparations for that day and be careful not to let yourself be tracked during this time."
One, Two and Three had left the room right away to prepare for the auction ahead of time while Jester waited inside the room.
The large auctions of the underworld were held in a way that it could not be easily interrupted or infiltrated.
Once the bids were made on each item through a secure connection to the auction, there would be middlemen that would handle the exchange of goods and the berries that were exchanged.
Each person participating would have to go to a secure room that was connected to the auction site and they would watch a screen to see the items that were being bid on while they would use a Sea Snail to state the bidding prices.
While it was quite secure, there would always be problems with information leaks or people interfering with the auctions in some way due to their own greed.
Anyone that had just made a lot of berries from their sale of an item or had something valuable needed to be very careful about being tracked since it could have led to other forces targeting them and stealing that item.
What Jester had put up for auction was not any small item with little value, there were a couple of high value items that were being sold so they qualified to be sold in the auction that was held less often and handled bigger item sales.
When the day finally came, a large auction had taken place and everyone was excited once the items that Jester had brought were being put up.
They were not any ordinary items that could be sold and everyone that had much bigger goals would be interested in them.
The auction had announced that there were Eternal Poses that would lead to a safe and uninhabited island, each Eternal Pose led to a different island that Alyssia had visited and had solved different types of threats so they were ready for being used.
Each person that purchased the Eternal Pose would be the first to arrive on one of those islands that Alyssia had not claimed for herself or the White Storm.
How they used the island after that was completely up to them whether they used it for growing food supplies or to move their base of operations into the island.
Depending on the resources and funds available to each person that arrived on the island, the more they would be able to make full use of the island and to develop it to fit their own goals.
Some would occupy it first and would develop their own kingdom while others would just use it to store anything of value or to use the land to grow food supplies and to take any other resources that existed on the island.
It was not just any ordinary sale of a piece of land but instead was an island that was unoccupied and was full of opportunities so each of them had sold for a much larger price than most other land related auction items.
Anyone that could pay such a large price had made their bids one after another as they had increased the bidding price beyond one hundred million berries and they just kept on rising until the final bids were made.
Once a large amount of berries were in the hands of Jester after the auction was over, he had given an order and handed over a portion of it to One. "Place this on Alyssia winning against Garp."
An order was given from Alyssia to sell the Eternal Poses in the underworld where it was the best place to make a lot of berries very quickly then a large amount of it would be bet on the future fight.
Since the odds of Alyssia winning was considered by most places that held bets to be lower, if Alyssia would win then the payout would be much larger than what others would get from betting and winning the bet for Garp.
It was a big opportunity to win big and to multiply the funds that were already in the possession of Alyssia and the White Storm.
All around the world there were many others that had done the same using their own funds as they had bet on Alyssia.
