But it was too late to say anything now. Sigo had already opened all the wine and invited them to the banquet.
"Hey, little girl, do you want to drink together?"
Looking at Vivi who was just about to turn around and leave, Sigo said nonchalantly.
"Miss Wednesday, you can drink with them. I'll tell Mr. 8 about the situation here."
Vivi originally didn't want to pay attention to Sigo. She didn't have a good impression of this kind of wretched uncle who casually asked a stranger to drink.
However, after hearing Mr. 9's words, he sat down as well.
"Come on, since it's a banquet, let's drink to our hearts' content!" Sigo directly stuffed a large bottle of wine into Vivi's hands and said, "Don't be so restrained like when you're a princess. Don't worry, it's my treat!"
Vivi was speechless. This strange uncle was really strange. Mr. 9 just said that all the expenses would be charged to them, but this person said that it was his treat.
What kind of treat is this …?
Vivi's heart suddenly thumped when she thought of this.
"Princess!" Vivi raised her head and closed her eyes to hide the shock in her eyes. "He just said 'don't be so restrained like when you're a princess'. Did he accidentally say something wrong?"
When Vivi opened her eyes and looked at Sigo, Sigo had already raised a bottle of wine and toasted with Dzepp.
Vivi laughed at herself and shook her head. "He must have said something wrong. He came from the East China Sea, so it's impossible for him to know me."
If she was exposed, her life would be in danger at any time.
In particular, she now knew the identity of the behind-the-scenes boss of Baroque Works.
Vivi knew very well that if it was someone else, they might be afraid of her identity as the princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta and wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
But as one of the Shichibukai, Klokdal would never spare her life because of her identity.
In particular, the other party was trying to provoke internal strife and subvert Alabastan. Once she was exposed, the other party would never let her off.
Of course, Sigo's words were meant for Vivi to hear, but now was not a good time to reveal the other party's identity.
Because …
He was busy drinking, and it was free alcohol.
On the other side, Mr. 8, who was also the captain of the Kingdom of Alabasta's security team, Icalem, was extremely busy.
As an intermediate agent of the Baroque Work Club, as well as the mayor of this town, his task was to maintain the public order here before the auction began.
This is not a simple job, especially now that the town is full of cruel pirates.
Dealing with so many pirates has already overwhelmed him, not to mention that he still has a more important task to complete.
The real purpose of this auction was to amass wealth.
The various operations of Baroque Works in the Kingdom of Alabasta cost too much money and resources.
Now, they were somewhat unable to make ends meet, so they had to set up this trap.
When the pirates came to the auction with a large number of treasures, they could catch all the pirates in one fell swoop and plunder a huge amount of wealth to support the "Utopia Battle Plan."
"Mr. 8, there are two pirate groups in Area A1 confronting each other!"
"Isn't Miss Monday there? Ask her to calm them down. If she can't persuade them, she can stop them," Icalem said.
"Mr. 8, the pirates in Area A3 are urging the auction to start."
"Tell them that the auction will start soon. If they don't want to wait, they can leave now!"
It was impossible to let them leave.
If they really wanted to leave, they would be followed by the people of Baroque Works.
Those with bounties would be given to the Navy, and those without bounties would be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
All the treasures on the ship would be plundered, and nothing would be left.
"Mr. 8, there is not enough food in Area B1. They need to replenish."
When Icalem heard the words Area B1, food, and replenish, his head began to ache.
"Why is there no more food? Didn't they just replenish it? Okay, no need to say more. Give them more food and tell them that if they finish it again, there will be no more food! "
After his men left, Icalem rubbed his temples under his wavy hair. "What a headache. There was enough food prepared, but that guy almost finished it all by himself."
"Fortunately, it's almost time. Everyone who should be here is here. It's time to close the net."
Just when Icalem thought that the work he needed to deal with was over and he could take a break, Mr. 9 rushed in.
"Mr. 8, we need to send more troops. A group of troublesome guys from East Blue is coming …"
Icalem's heart instantly jumped.
"Mr. 9, you did a good job. I will report this matter to the higher-ups and send someone with a higher title …" Before Icalem could finish his words, the bounty hunter in charge of Area B3, where Sigo and the others were in, rushed in.
"Mr. 8, the wine … the wine was finished by them … no, by him …"
Icalem waved his hand. "It's just some wine. There is not enough food, but there is more wine. Don't report such a small matter. Give them as much as they want. Let them drink! "
"Yes … Yes, Mr. 8."
Icalem said and dialed the Den Den Mushi to contact the higher-ups to send more people over.
Sigo really drank to his heart's content this time. Since someone was paying, it would be a waste not to drink.
He hadn't drunk so much in a long time. Dzepp and the others were completely drunk when Sigo was warming up.
They were lying on the table, and even Sigo couldn't force them to drink.
Vivi was not forced to drink by Sigo. Although she didn't drink much, she was almost drunk watching Sigo drink.
"Is … is he still human?"
"They're all dead drunk in this unfamiliar place. Aren't they afraid that something might happen?"
"No, they dare to drink like this because the strange uncle is not drunk. They believe that he can handle anything."
Just as Vivi was guessing, Sigo tried to force Dzepp and Tom to drink again, but he failed.
"Hey, guys outside, no matter who you are, come in and have a drink." Sigo held a bottle of wine and looked at the people who were still outside and didn't dare to come in.
They were already shocked by Sigo's single-handed crushing of Mr. 9's metal bat, and now they were completely shocked by his terrifying alcohol tolerance.
Hearing Sigo's words, everyone tacitly scattered in an instant.
Seeing that everyone had left, Sigo smiled and looked at Vivi. "Blue-haired girl, do you want to drink with me?"
Vivi was startled. She stood up and retreated to the door. "Ah, I'm almost done. I can't drink anymore."
Sigo didn't force her. He shrugged his shoulders. "That's right. A person like you should have received an aristocratic education since you were young. You wouldn't eat and drink like us, right?"
"Ah!"
Vivi was stunned. She was shocked, but she didn't show any flaws on her face. "Uncle … Uncle, what did you say …"
