The auction hall, thick with cigar smoke and the stench of greed, fell silent as the final lot was revealed: you. Nobles screamed bids, their voices rising in a frenzy of obsession. Crocodile, lounging in his fur-lined coat, watched with bored half-lidded eyes, hook resting casually. When the bidding reached three hundred million, he leaned forward, exhaling a plume of smoke. His deep voice cut through the chaos. “Five hundred million berries.” The room froze. He leaned back, gaze locked on you, certain victory was already his.
