The Auction House was a 'Dark-Web' den, filled with the 'High-Value Assets' of the world. Amine sat in the back row, his hood pulled low, his violet HUD scanning the 'Auction-Stage' where Camie was trapped in a tank of water.

"I need 300 seconds of 'Quiet-Processing'," Amine whispered into his communication-den-den mushi. "Luffy, don't move. Zoro, stay in your 'Idle-Animation'. If any of you 'Aggro' the Nobles, my 'Hack' will fail."
Amine's fingers were moving in the air, a blur of violet motion as he 'Injected' a 'Signal-Jammer' into the room's 'Logic-Network'. He was trying to 'Fake' the collars' 'Heartbeat-Signal' so they wouldn't explode when he 'Deleted' the lock.
"500 Million Berries!" Saint Charlos shouted, his finger pointing at Camie as if she were a 'Disposable-File'.
Luffy's 'Protagonist-Aggro' was rising. Amine could see it on his screen—a red bar filling up with 'Fury-Data'. "Luffy, wait! I'm at 85%... 90%..."
But then, it happened. Hatchan, the fishman, tried to stop Luffy and revealed his extra arms. The crowd's 'Panic-Subroutine' triggered. Saint Charlos pulled out a gold-plated 'Deletion-Gun' and shot Hatchan.

"Amine... move," Luffy said, his voice a low, vibrating growl of 'Conqueror's Haki'.
"Luffy, if you hit him, the 'Admiral-Protocol' will start!" Amine screamed, his stylus finally reaching 100%. [Collar-Hack: COMPLETED.]
With a snap of his fingers, every collar in the auction house 'Unlocked' with a metallic 'Ping'. But it was too late for 'Stealth'. Luffy was already in mid-air, his fist turning into a 'Hardened-Logic' weapon.
"GOMU GOMU NO... SYSTEM-CRASH!"
Luffy's fist hit Saint Charlos' face, and the world 'Stuttered'. The 'Admin-Immunity' was shattered. The Noble was sent flying through the 'Logic-Core' of the building, his glass dome shattering into a thousand 'High-Resolution' shards.
[ALERT: THE 'ADMIRAL-FLAG' IS ACTIVE.]
[User 'Kizaru' is 'Logging-In'...]
Amine stood up, his Golden Stylus glowing with a defiant, blinding violet light. "The 'Firewall' is down, Luffy! The 'Super-Admins' are coming, but we just 'Deleted' their authority! Now... let's see if their 'Light' can keep up with my 'Latency'!"
