"Silver hair?"
Gladius turned his head sharply, repeating the word, then stared at the waiter and asked loudly, "Silver hair, which silver hair?"
"It couldn't be that Silver Hair-Kouta, the one with a bounty of 2.5 billion, who's been making waves in the Paradise recently!"
Pica didn't say anything either, but upon hearing "silver hair," he instinctively straightened his body. His languid eyes instantly widened, and an invisible aura emanated from him, filling the entire private room.
The waiter's body trembled slightly, then he nodded and quickly replied, "It's that silver hair, no doubt about it. I saw their new bounty poster just a few days ago, and the group below matches the poster exactly. Those sky-blue eyes, I wouldn't mistake them."
"And there's Blue Hair-Guina, Wallace-Walder..."
"The Silver Hair Pirates, all of them are below."
Pica retracted his aura and looked up, meeting Gladius's gaze. They both saw gravity in each other's eyes.
"This is troublesome."
"I hope nothing goes wrong!"
He withdrew his gaze and focused on the waiter again, saying, "Alright, we know. You can leave now!"
Although Pica's voice was high-pitched, it was rather comical for such a sharp voice to emanate from his massive frame. However, the waiter dared not show any hint of amusement.
This was because the person before him disliked being mocked for his voice, as it would anger him.
As for the consequences of this person's anger, he had the misfortune of witnessing them once, a sight that haunted his nightmares for days, and he still felt lingering fear.
"Yes, Lord Pica."
The waiter nodded, shuffled his feet, took a few steps back, then stood up and quickly exited the private room, closing the door behind him.
"Gladius," Pica looked at Gladius, his tone grave, "What do we do now?"
There was a Celestial Dragon present below!
And regarding Silver Hair's group, they, as subordinates of the Seven Warlords who were already beyond the reach of ordinary pirates, knew more.
Even Silver Hair's 2.5 billion bounty alone told them that this was not an existence they could provoke.
They were not rookie pirates who believed themselves to be the best in the world!
Gladius rubbed his chin and thought, but couldn't come up with a good solution.
Go down now and ask Saint Chordwood to leave?
Clearly impossible, he was a Celestial Dragon, how could he possibly listen to them.
As for asking Silver Hair's group to leave and avoid conflict with the Celestial Dragon, they were even less able to do that.
Although they were confident in their strength, they were not confident enough to contend with Silver Hair, who could fight against an Admiral.
"There's no other way," Gladius shook his head and looked up at Pica.
"Lord Pica, let's contact the Young Master and see how he plans to proceed!"
"If nothing happens, it's fine, but if Silver Hair's group really clashes with Saint Chordwood and does anything to harm Saint Chordwood, a huge battle will immediately break out here. Neither the Navy Admirals nor Silver Hair's group are people we can handle."
"Fine!"
Pica nodded, pulled out a Den Den Mushi, and called Doflamingo.
Soon, the call was connected, and the Den Den Mushi in Pica's hand transformed into one wearing pink glasses and a pink cape.
The Den Den Mushi opened its mouth and let out a hearty laugh, "Fufufufufufu!!"
"It's Pica, isn't it!"
"Did your trip to Sabaody Archipelago go smoothly?"
Pica looked at the Den Den Mushi and said with a grave tone, "Young Master, it's me."
"What is it?"
As if sensing the gravity in Pica's tone, Doflamingo's laughter abruptly stopped, and he asked, "Did something happen?"
"Young Master, I am currently at the auction house, and Saint Chordwood is in the main hall below."
Doflamingo remained silent, knowing that the main point was coming.
As expected, he didn't have to wait long; Pica stated it directly.
"Silver Hair, Silver Hair-Kouta's group is also below."
"Silver Hair?"
The Den Den Mushi's eyes instantly sharpened.
No further introduction was needed. Currently, no one among the world's top powers was unaware of the strength of Silver Hair's group.
And he knew something that only top Navy officials and the World Government knew: Silver Hair had killed more than just Crocodile among the Seven Warlords; that guy had also killed Moria just a few days ago.
Honestly, he had no solution for such a lawless individual who completely disregarded the World Government.
Who knew he would arrive at Sabaody Archipelago so quickly, and coincidentally show up at his auction house.
None of this mattered. The main issue was that there was a Celestial Dragon at the auction house today!
Given that guy's immense strength, who knew if he would take a disliking to the Celestial Dragon and harm him.
Or even kill the Celestial Dragon.
"Kill a Celestial Dragon."
As if struck by an idea, madness began to appear in Doflamingo's eyes.
Ever since he left Mary Geoise, although he was now doing business with some families among the Celestial Dragons, and although he could not return to Mary Geoise and be a Celestial Dragon again, and due to his own Celestial Dragon status, even though he had renounced his Celestial Dragon identity, he still possessed some Celestial Dragon privileges.
But... he utterly despised Celestial Dragons, despised that place Mary Geoise, and his heart was constantly in a frenzy, wishing to see someone topple that place and plunge the world into chaos.
If a Celestial Dragon were killed, Sabaody Archipelago would undoubtedly fall into utter pandemonium.
This kind of chaos was precisely what he wished to see.
The current peaceful and calm seas held no meaning for him; he loved chaos, he loved madness.
The more chaotic the world became, the better the era it was for those like them who sought to profit from chaos.
As for the auction house...
This kind of human trafficking business was already outdated for him. If it weren't to cater to the Celestial Dragons' preferences, he wouldn't have bothered with it long ago.
Therefore, after a brief moment of contemplation, he issued an order to Pica: if Silver Hair's group clashed with a Celestial Dragon, they could immediately abandon the auction.
After hanging up the call, Pica and Gladius exchanged glances. Although there was confusion in their eyes, since the Young Master had made his decision, they would simply follow it.
Since they could abandon the auction, the next course of action was to watch the show.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for the conflict between Silver Hair and the Celestial Dragon.
After all, watching a spectacle was human nature.
...
Time returned to when Kouta and the others had just taken their seats.
Upon seeing the young girl on stage and hearing the auctioneer, "Disco," introduce her background, Indigo's expression clearly changed.
"Indigo, what's wrong?"
Kouta tilted his head and asked Indigo, "Do you know this girl?"
"Kekelekelekele!!"
Returning to his senses, Indigo shook his head. "How would this old man know such a young girl!"
"I just thought of my homeland when I heard about her country."
"Homeland?"
"Yes!"
Indigo nodded, looking at the stage with a gaze filled with memories. "My homeland was called 'Kakulus,' a very beautiful island of spring."
"And the country of the girl on stage is next to my homeland island."
"That's why I unconsciously spaced out when I heard the girl's country."
"Kekelekele!!"
