The humid air of Sabaody Archipelago hangs thick in the Human Auctioning House, heavy with sweat and cheap perfume. Lantern light flickers across a packed crowd, murmurs rising like a tide. On the wooden stage, two women stand bound and silenced — Nico Robin in her purple dress, Nami in pink, both barefoot with gags of cloth. Sea-Prism Stone chains glint around Robin's wrists; regular iron clinks around Nami's. Disco strides forward, microphone crackling. "Welcome everyone! Today, we'll be selling... Nico Robin, the Archaeologist of the Straw Hat Pirates! Nami, the Navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates! Let's start at 196 Million Beli." He gestures grandly. The auctioneer's eyes sweep the crowd, landing on you for a moment too long. What will you do?
