In the VIP seats, Mu Chen stared at the five fruits on the cart. The corners of his mouth curled up, and the joy in his eyes was self-evident.
The purpose of him coming to the auction house was nothing more than to relieve his boredom. At the same time, he wanted to find some good things. If there were Demon Fruits, that would be even better.
"What a pleasant surprise." Mu Chen smiled and sighed.
On the auction stage, the silver-haired old man saw that the atmosphere had become lively and nodded his head in satisfaction. The reason why the auction house placed the five Demon Fruits as the second auction item was to liven up the atmosphere. Now, it seemed that the plan was successful.
The silver-haired old man grinned and continued.
"Everyone knows that the Demon Fruit is a rare commodity that has a price but no market. Sometimes, the Demon Fruit will not appear in the auction house for half a year, so please cherish this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
After saying that, the silver-haired old man knocked on the auction hammer." Now, the first auction begins!”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone couldn't help but bid anxiously.
"110 million, no, 120 million.”A pirate captain stared at the fruits in the cart with a longing expression and said anxiously.
However, he still underestimated the allure of the Demon Fruit. In less than half a second, a higher bid appeared.
"150 million!"
"180 million!"
"200 million!"
……
In the auction house, the voices of bidding rose and fell. Soon, the price of the first fruit was raised to an extremely high price.
"320 million, are there any higher bids?”The silver-haired old man looked excited as he swept his gaze across everyone present and asked.
Mu Chen, who was sitting in the front row, saw that it was about time to bid for the fruit.
However, before Mu Chen could speak.
A deep voice came from a corner of the auction hall.
"400 million, I want this fruit."
Many people looked towards the source of the voice, and their expressions changed slightly.
"It's actually Jack the drought. He's a pirate with a bounty of 1 billion!”
"Rumor has it that the Hundred Beast Pirates and the Bigummam Pirates are about to go to war. Why did he leave the new world?”
"I'm not sure about that, but since Jack has spoken, there's no chance for this fruit. It's a pity.”
There were many discussions.
The auctioneer looked at the figure of the drought Jack. Even though he was experienced, he was also stunned. After a long while, he came back to his senses and said,
"This customer bids 400 million. Is there any higher price?”
The silver-haired old man asked out of habit. In fact, he himself did not believe that someone would dare to disrespect Jack and snatch the fruit.
Just as everyone thought that the fruit would belong to Jack, Mu Chen spoke again.
With a faint smile on his face, he casually raised his hand and said,"I bid 500 million."”
" What?!"
As soon as he said that, there was an uproar. Many people widened their eyes and stared at Mu Chen in disbelief.
"Isn't this brat afraid of death? He actually dared to snatch something from Jack. That was a pirate with a bounty of one billion.”
"I think he's courting death. In less than half an hour, he first kidnapped the Heavenly Dragon person and now offended the drought Jack.”
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. This brat is really arrogant.”
……
Jack narrowed his eyes and stared at Mu Chen. He did not continue to bid.
When the people around saw Jack's reaction, they looked at Mu Chen as if he was a dead man.
"Jack seems to be angry. He's dead.”
Mu Chen did not care about the reactions of the people around him. He only wanted to obtain the Devil's Fruit and unlock new skills.
Therefore, Mu Chen would not give Kaido any face even if he came personally, let alone Jack.
On the auction stage, the silver-haired old man looked at Mu Chen with displeasure. In his opinion, Mu Chen was the last madness before he died.
"This customer bids 500 million. Is there a higher price?”The silver-haired old man asked expressionlessly.
No one present dared to bid. Taking this fruit would mean offending Jack. They did not want to take this hot potato.
The silver-haired old man shook his head helplessly. He put down the auction hammer and said," Since there's no higher price, this fruit belongs to this young man."”
Then, the old man waved his hand, and an exquisite-looking woman immediately took out a demon fruit from the cart and put it into a small golden treasure chest.
Then, she walked down the stage and came to Mu Chen's side. She handed the treasure chest to Mu Chen and said respectfully," This is the fruit you bid for. Please accept it."”
Mu Chen smiled faintly and took the treasure chest. He nodded slightly to signal her to leave.
After the waitress left, Mu Chen opened the treasure chest and played with the purple Devil's Fruit in his hand.
[Ding-dong. Mysterious energy found. Absorb?]”the system said in a cold mechanical voice.
"Absorb." Mu Chen agreed without hesitation.
Immediately, a cloud of purple smoke gushed out of the Devil Fruit in Mu Chen's hand. The smoke seemed to have a life of its own as it surged into Mu Chen's heart.
As the smoke disappeared, the strange cloud pattern on the Devil Fruit in Mu Chen's hand gradually dissipated and finally turned into an unknown fruit.
"Ding-dong. Energy level reached. Unlock Kaleidoscope Skill Book?”After absorbing the Demon Fruit, the system immediately notified him.
Mu Chen nodded and was about to agree.
However, at this moment, a navy general suddenly appeared from a few passageways of the auction house.
After the navy appeared, they raised their guns and surrounded Mu Chen.
"Little brat, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon.”Huang Yuan put his hands in his pockets and walked to Mu Chen's side casually.
"I also feel that we are quite fated. I wonder what brings you here, General Huang Yuan.”Mu Chen shrugged and smiled playfully.
