Boom!
In the palace, Ye Chen's Chakra burst forth. The astonishing azure aura flame was as ferocious as a beast's tail, expanding and contracting at times. The powerful oppressive aura caused a gale to sweep in all directions.
In an instant, the entire palace's aura was controlled by Ye Chen. The surrounding naval guards and the royal family nobles present were all trembling. Even the great pirates from the New World were trembling. Some people could not help but exclaim.
"Wow, he actually knocked out Pero Spero with one slap. He's a pirate with a bounty of 700 million.”A certain pirate said with an ashen expression, his body already trembling slightly.
"The strength of the treasure merchant…is actually…terrifying!!”The other pirate stammered in panic, his eyes wide open.
The rest of the pirates were silent out of fear. They did not dare to speak rashly for fear of offending Ye Chen. Otherwise, they would end up like the Candy Minister.
Ye Chen's actions also made the red-haired pirate, Hawkeye pirate, Tyrant Bear pirate, and the other pirates 'expressions turn grave.
……
"This person's strength is not inferior to ours.”The red-haired man said with a solemn expression.
Hawkeye nodded and replied,"Very strong, but unfortunately not a sword hero."”
To Hawkeye, he was only interested in powerhouses who were good at swordsmanship. Other powerhouses would not arouse his competitive spirit at all. However, Ye Chen's domineering actions just now did catch his attention.
He was an expert that could not be underestimated.
"I've only seen this kind of aura from White Beard.”Ben Beckman frowned.
Beckman was a wise man with a high IQ. He could always remain calm in any situation. This was also the reason why Red Hair trusted him the most.
Under Ye Chen's powerful aura, Krogdahl could not help but think of the white-bearded man. His face immediately turned ashen and he said with a disdainful expression,"What a terrifying aura. What a domineering figure. It really makes me unhappy.”
"Mr. Karp, no wonder you didn't let us touch him. I didn't expect him to be so strong.”Qing Zhi said with a heavy expression. He finally understood why Karp had issued a ban in the Eastern Sea to avoid Ye Chen.
Upon hearing this, Karp shook his head lightly and denied the other party's statement. In fact, his initial intention was to let the navy establish a friendly relationship with Ye Chen so that it would be convenient for them to purchase the treasure map in the future. He was not afraid of Ye Chen's strength.
Then, Karp said in a calm tone,""No, his aura wasn't that strong when we fought last time.”
Karp had a very deep impression of Ye Chen. Last time, Ye Chen had only outclassed him in terms of speed. His strength had not reached this level. He did not expect Ye Chen to improve so much in just a few days.
"What is it? Could it be that his strength had increased greatly in a short period of time?”Qing Zhi frowned and said. He really could not accept it in his heart.
This was because in the world of One Piece, it was not so easy to increase one's strength after reaching the level of a Great General. A Great General's strength was already at the top of the world, and the gap between them was not very big. The top was to reach the level of White Beard and Kaido!
White Beard was the strongest man in the world, and Kaido was the strongest creature. They were both unique monsters.
"Perhaps he was hiding his strength last time.”Caputo said hesitantly. He was not sure if Ye Chen had used all his strength in the previous battle.
The only fortunate thing was that Karp didn't continue to pester them in the previous battle. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
……
"Cough cough, who else wants to provoke me now?”Ye Chen said with a cold expression, displaying the demeanor of a king.
Hearing this, no one dared to respond. Some pirates even controlled their breathing.
"Alright then, I announce the start of the auction.”Ye Chen said calmly.
Then, Number 28 stepped forward to explain the rules.
The treasure auction was as follows:
First of all, there were a total of ten Treasure Maps for this auction. One Gold, two Silver, three Bronze, and four Black Iron.
There were no conditions to participate in the auction. Whether it was the navy, pirates, bandits, wealthy merchants, or passersby, the only condition was that they could afford the auction fee.
Among the ten treasure maps auctioned, the last one was free and would be made public after the auction ended.
The remaining nine Legendary Treasure Maps could not be sold to the same person twice!
However, the free one was actually the one in the hands of Ace and Sabot. Ye Chen did not intend to reveal the details of the treasure map.
Otherwise, Ace and Sabot would be in danger. After all, they were only children and did not have the ability to protect the treasure map.
Not only that, if Karp knew about this, he would definitely go berserk on the spot!
Therefore, Ye Chen was still considering the free treasure map.
……
After Number 28 finished explaining the rules, he silently retreated to Ye Chen's right and stood there quietly.
After knowing the number of treasure maps, the pirates were extremely excited. The increase in the number of treasure maps meant that their chances of winning the bid were higher.
When many pirates saw so many powerful competitors at the beginning, they would inevitably have some scruples. However, it was different now. There were a total of nine treasure maps. It did not matter even if they did not get the most valuable Gold treasure. Back then, Baki had only obtained a Silver treasure. Everyone had seen the generous rewards.
"That's great. I don't have high expectations. I'll be satisfied as long as I can get a Silver Treasure Map.”One of the pirates with a fat body said.
"Hmph, it's already good enough that I gave you a Black Iron Rank treasure. You still dare to dream of a Silver Rank treasure.”A tall and thin pirate with a gloomy expression said disdainfully.
The treasure this time was not so easy to get.
"Who else has any questions? The auction will begin before it starts.”
Ye Chen stood on the high platform and said coldly.
"Why can only each person bid for one treasure map and not buy it twice?”Karp asked with a frown.
He was very puzzled. With the strength of the navy, it should not be a problem to buy two or three treasure maps. Why did they have to highlight such a restriction?
"Because I like it." Ye Chen said coldly.
"Alright, you win." Capton paused, speechless.
He had to accept such a powerful reason.
"By the way, everyone I mentioned belongs to a faction. Those who belong to the same faction can only buy one.”Ye Chen said calmly.
After confirming the auction rules again, a mysterious man in a white suit, who was undoubtedly an assassin from the CP0 organization, asked,"Then please name your price, respected treasure merchant.”
Ye Chen smiled and said,"Name a price?" No, no, no. Before the auction, don't you want to know the legend of these treasure maps?”
Although Ye Chen had already spread the legend of the treasure map fabricated by the System, he still wanted to reassure them. Moreover, there was a live broadcast of the auction today. This way, he could obtain more Legendary Points.
