"What is the starting price of the Golden Fruit?" Bai Luo asked.
The Demon Fruit was usually sold for more than 100 million, but the Golden Fruit was obviously not an ordinary fruit. Although its value could not compare to the surgical fruit, it was still far superior to ordinary Demon Fruits.
The 400 million Bailey in Bai Luo's hands was more than enough to buy ordinary animal-type Devil Fruits, but it would be difficult to buy Golden Fruits.
"The starting bid is 300 million Bailey."
Monet was surprised to hear that Mister White was interested in the Golden Fruit. It seemed like he really wanted it.
This thing was not something that ordinary wealthy merchants could afford. Even if they could afford it, they might not be able to keep it.
"Only 300 million Bailey?"
Wasn't this number a little too low?
Bai Luo frowned. She felt that it was not as simple as she thought, so she turned to Tyrant Bear and asked,""Da Xiong, how much do you know about the Golden-Gold Fruit? What kind of person was the last Golden-Gold Fruit ability user recorded?”
Tyrant Bear liked reading. After Bai Luo became the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, she raised funds to build a library. Since there was no candidate for the time being, Bai Luo was the librarian of the library.
In Bai Luo's impression, the Tyrant Bear was the most popular reader in the entire Revolutionary Army. Moreover, most of the books he read were stories and historical books, so it was most likely that the Tyrant Bear knew about these things.
"Twenty years ago, a Golden Fruit aptitude user appeared. He was a pirate and was later attacked by a navy colonel.”
As expected, the Tyrant Bear did not disappoint Bai Luo and quickly gave her the information.
"Killed by a navy colonel?"
Bai Luo was a little surprised. This was too much of a noob. However, he quickly remembered Colonel Smock in the original novel. Naturally, he was almost invincible in front of an opponent who did not have a domineering aura."The colonel who attacked him is a natural ability user?”
" No, just an ordinary navy."
The Tyrant Bear shook its head and said,"The reward for the Golden Fruit aptitude user is only five million Bailey."”
"Although I know that the development of the fruit depends on the aptitude user, a Golden Fruit aptitude user shouldn't be in such a miserable state!”
Compared to the Golden Emperor in the movie version who was evenly matched with Luffy in the fourth gear, the Golden Fruit aptitude user with five million Bailey was too pitiful.
Bai Luo thought for a moment and felt that the Golden Fruit's poor performance was not only because the previous aptitude user was too useless. There should also be a reason for the fruit. Otherwise, the price of the Golden Fruit would not be so low. It should be at least one billion.
"The Golden-Gold Fruit isn't of the Nature Element, but of the Superhuman Element. It can't transform itself into Gold to attack, so without Gold around, its combat power is extremely low.”The Tyrant Bear's words confirmed Bai Luo's guess.
"No wonder. Other than the extremely high difficulty of awakening the Demon Fruit, I'm afraid this is the reason why the actual value of the Golden Fruit is low.”
Bai Luo understood.
The ability to manipulate gold seemed very powerful, but to the poor, it was completely useless.
Without gold for you to control, your Devil Fruit ability would be useless. No wonder the previous aptitude user was defeated by a mere colonel.
This was a demonic fruit that only rich people could display.
To the poor, the Devil's Fruit was useless. Without billions of gold, it would not be enough to support an aptitude user's combat power.
As for the ordinary rich, although they could display their full combat strength, the problem was…
Their hearts ached!
Every time they fought, they had to use a pile of gold to fight. It was fine if they won, but once they lost, they had to pay billions of gold.
Who would want to fight such a losing battle!
Only those organizations with strong financial resources but lacked sufficient high-level combat strength would want to obtain the Golden Fruit to fill the gap in their combat strength.
For example, the Don Quijote family, which lacked high-end combat power.
Actually, the various dark organizations did not care much about the ability of the Golden Fruit to produce a large amount of gold after it awakened.
The world of pirates was a world where strength was the most important thing. Although gold was a hard currency, it was not as valuable as fists. No matter what kind of Golden Fruit you were, as long as your wealth did not match your strength, there would immediately be people who secretly coveted your wealth and destroyed you, robbing you of your property.
Even Golden Emperor, who was more powerful than half of the pirates, could not protect his 20% Bailey in the original novel. He could only survive by becoming a dog for the Heavenly Dragon people.
Wealth was greater than strength, and he would inevitably face fatal danger.
All sorts of factors interweaved, causing the originally powerful Golden Fruit's price to not be as high as imagined.
However-
"For us, the Golden Fruit is still a must.”Bai Luo said to Tyrant Bear.
In contrast to the Don Quijote family, which had a lot of money and lacked high-end combat forces, the Revolutionary Army was now poor and had no money, but there were a few high-end combat forces there.
In the world of One Piece, it was a matter of course for one to have money if they had strength.
However, the Revolutionary Army was obviously not a pirate group or consortium without faith. They disdained to make money by tarnishing their beliefs, and they disdained to become slave owners and explorers.
At this time, the awakening ability of the Golden Fruit was very important.
He didn't steal or rob. He relied on the gold that he had worked so hard to produce. How could there be money that was cleaner than this?
"Then we might not have enough funds.”
Tyrant Bear did not ask Bai Luo why. He believed that Bai Luo's judgment must have some basis, so he only reminded Bai Luo.
The starting price was 300 million, and the final price could reach a billion.
The 400 million Bailey they had now was not enough.
"The auction will only start tomorrow. We still have time.”
"How much money we can earn in this period of time will depend on our own ability."”
“？”
Tyrant Bear was a little puzzled. Where could they go to earn money now? How much could he earn in a day?
Hearing Bai Luo's last sentence, he finally understood.
"Then, Miss Monet…please take us to the casino!”
Casino!
They were people who knew how to look domineering!
