Short Summary
The auction continues, but Saint Charlos arrives and ruins the Straw Hats' plan to buy Keimi back by placing an exorbiant bid on her. The proceedings are then interrupted when Luffy and his Flying Fish crash into the auction house, but he is restrained from rushing the stage by Hatchan, who accidentally reveals his Fishman nature in the process. While the nobility recoils in disgust, Charlos shoots him, gloating about obtaining a Fishman slave. Luffy snaps and punches Charlos in the face.
