Chapter 502 summary
A tall woman speaks on a den den mushi while a massive winged man kneels and presents a tiny masked figure atop shopping bags on a city street. The scene shifts to the Human Auctioning House where Saint Charlos discards a slave and takes his seat among the crowd as another Tenryuubito greets him. An auctioneer sells the pirate Rakyuba for 17,000,000 beri, after which Rakyuba bites his tongue and collapses on stage. Sanji watches the events and remarks that the pirate may have chosen the right end while a blonde woman and a man in a top hat note they still await the mermaid Camie. The auctioneer announces the next item and draws back the curtain to reveal a mermaid's silhouette as the crowd reacts with anticipation.
