Chapter 10 Auction, The Man Who Captured The Palace
On a prosperous island in the first half of the Grand Line.
There is an auction of various luxury items progressing on a commercial street.
"The next item that is going to be auctioned will shock everyone!"
A man with the appearance of a profiteer held a microphone and raised the atmosphere loudly.
A maid brought up a wooden tray covered with a red cloth and put it on the auction stage.
Under the curious eyes of everyone in the auditorium of the auction venue.
The auction host pulled the red cloth away.
A strange fruit with a strange pattern appeared in everyone's view.
"This is the rare treasure in the sea, Devil Fruit!"
As soon the auction host's voice fell.
Everyone in the audience started becoming excited.
"It turned out to be Devil Fruit!"
"That's right! I didn't quite believe the rumors that there will be treasures like Devil Fruit in this auction, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
"This is a treasure worth more than 100 million Berries! I didn't expect to see it in my lifetime!"
The host on the auction stage saw that everyone in the auditorium was looking at the Devil Fruit on the stage eagerly.
He also smiled very proudly.
This auction is run by a big force in the underground world.
In order to be famous.
The owner spent a lot of effort to get this Devil Fruit.
"It's unclear what type of fruit this Devil Fruit is. It may be Zoan, it may be Paramecia, or even... it may be Logia!"
After hearing the host's words, everyone in the audience's heartbeat increased.
Compared with Four Seas, people in the first half of the Grand Line have a clearer understanding of Devil Fruit.
This is the area where Marine Headquarters' power is strongest.
Rumor has it that the three Marine monsters, Vice Admiral, are all Logia users. ( Currently Akainu, Aokiji and kizaru are not admirals.)
So people here generally equate Logia with superpowers.
If you can buy Logia here, your status will rise to the sky in one step.
The host is also very happy to see the eyes of the people under the stage flicker.
In fact, this Devil Fruit has already been identified, and it is an ordinary Zoan golden monkey fruit.
Although it can't be said to be bad, it is almost meaningless to want to arouse the enthusiasm of everyone.
After all, Devil Fruit also has side effects.
Side effects such as inability to swim and inability to touch the sea, if the fruit ability is not so outstanding.
Those who can afford it may not be so enthusiastic.
So if it is said that it has not been identified, then everyone will have hope.
"Let's not talk nonsense, the starting price of this Devil Fruit is 100 million Baileys, and each time the bid should be increased by more than 1 million Baileys, start now!"
The people in the audience were silent for a moment, and then began to bid enthusiastically.
"110 Million Baileys"
"120 million Baileys"
"123 million Baileys"
"220 million Baileys"
As the price climbed to this point, it gradually stagnated.
After all, for those who don't know, it's hard to say what ability this unknown fruit has.
If you really spend a lot of money to buy it back and find out that it is a useless ability, I'm afraid you will vomit blood.
And there are pirates in the auditorium showing their majestic faces.
The people here are really rich. Many nobles and rich people in the country on this island came here to attend this auction.
Even the Marines came over because of this.
As pirates, the money they plunder has always been spent lavishly.
Even the captains of these pirates have difficulty storing so many Baileys.
If it weren't for the strong background of this auction house.
These lawless pirates have already started to rob.
"300 million Baileys"
A voice came from the corner of the auditorium.
Everyone looked over when they heard the price.
At this moment, cold sweat flowed from someone's forehead.
"Pirate supernova blood killer Ryomen Sukuna, who is offered a bounty of 310 Million Baileys! He, he is here!"
A pirate purred the saliva in his throat, and whispered in shock.
The newspapers published two weeks ago made him known to the world for the first time.
In just two weeks, he directly captured the palaces of the two kingdoms by himself.
Even the Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral and its fleet that went to rescue were easily defeated.
The amount of the reward directly increased twice.
From 48 million Baileys to 85 million Baileys.
Then it quickly increased to 310 million Baileys.
It was quickly spread by World Economy News Paper in an expedited manner.
In the world's impression, he is an extremely vicious and lawless representative of pirates.
This kind of continuous capture of the royal palaces of allied countries is rare.
The world government is hindered by the demands of joining the king's family, and they themselves will not allow the pirates to be so lawless.
After all, if it is not contained in time, it will undoubtedly set an example for other pirates.
This is something that the world government will never allow. As long as someone dares to do this, there will be an extremely powerful counterattack.
But the man in front of him did just that.
Whether it is due to arrogance or viciousness of character is unknown to others.
They could only look up at him in awe.
