Chris walked into the auction hall, which could accommodate up to a thousand people.
Silently walking to an empty corner and sitting down, Chris used the corner of his eye to observe the other people who came to auction.
Those who could participate in the auction were all rich people. There were nobles from Rosa Island, gangs, and of course, pirates.
Chris had already seen three or four famous pirates, and their bounties were still lying quietly in Chris's arms.
" Captain Roland of the Blood Sword Pirates, Captain Japaro of the Black Bear Pirates, and Captain Cantis of the One-eyed Pirates are all famous pirates of the West Ocean. Their bounties are all above 30 million.”
Looking at these people, Chris felt like he saw a bunch of Bailey waving at him.
Moreover, if he could kill these three people, the first phase of the system's mission would be completed. Then, he would be able to obtain the Six Navy Styles " Shave ".
After learning " Shave ", his strength would also increase by a notch, and he would be more agile in battle. With his swordsmanship and fruit ability, he would be able to suppress or even kill the pirates with a bounty of hundreds of millions. By then, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in the West Ocean.
In this way, he could complete the second mission in a short period of time. After receiving the reward, he would truly be considered a strong person. At that time, he could enter the great sea route.
Chris thought very far ahead. If he only had his current strength, although he was already very strong in the West Ocean, it was far from enough in the Great Sea Route.
He didn't have a protagonist's halo like Luffy, who was able to turn the tables in desperate situations and defeat a few Seven Martial Seas in a row without the navy chasing after him.
That's right, with that old man Karp backing him up, who would go after Luffy?
The admiral of the navy knew how to use the visual and armored colors, so Chris didn't want to enter the great sea route before he learned how to use the colors.
After completing the second mission, Chris would be able to learn the intermediate equipment, Haki. By then, he would be able to compete with the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.
Even if he couldn't win, he could definitely escape.
Chris shifted his gaze away from the pirate captains. These lawless pirate captains didn't realize that Chris had already treated them as prey.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Rosa Island Auction. I am the chief auctioneer of the auction, Green.”"Next, let me briefly introduce the key items of this auction. Not only are there antiques and famous paintings, beautiful female slaves, but the most important ones are a famous sword and a demon fruit!”
When Grimm's words fell, the crowd cheered.
"Demon Fruit! There was actually a Devil Fruit! It's mine, and I'm going to get it and go to the great sea route! The throne of One Piece will definitely be mine!"
"Don't fight with me for it, the Devil's Fruit is mine!”
"Famous knife, I just lack a knife that I can use. Whoever dares to snatch it from me, I'll chop them up!”
"A famous saber? Demon Fruit? There were actually so many good things in this auction. Damn it, if I had known earlier, I would have brought more money!”Someone said regretfully.
"Don't be happy too early. Be careful not to lose your life after getting the treasure."
"You're from the West Ocean after all. You don't have much knowledge. Do you think you can defy the heavens by simply obtaining a Demon Fruit?”Seeing the chaos caused by the Devil's Fruit, Chris was a little disdainful.
Most of these crazy people were pirates, but they had never seen the world, so any random Demon Fruit could make them go crazy.
"Alright, let's take a look at the first item, two stunning female slaves! The starting price is 1 million Bailey."
As Grimm finished speaking, a staff member pushed a large cage onto the stage.
Grimm tore off the red cloth on the cage and saw two super beauties locked in the cage. Their bodies were extremely hot.
However, both of them looked haggard, and their eyes were filled with despair.
" Wow, it's so beautiful. I want 1.2 million Bailey," an old noble shouted.
"Cut the crap. 1.5 million Bailey, they are mine.”This was another noble.
"Two million!"
"2.5 million!"
The price soared and soon reached 4 million Bailey. In the end, it was bought by a noble man in his forties.
Chris did not participate in the bidding. His eyes were cold and expressionless, but he had no intention of saving the two.
The world of One Piece was cruel.
Not only were the pirates terrifying, but the human traffickers were even more detestable.
There were countless people who had been abducted like this. The navy headquarters had also tacitly acknowledged the existence of slaves. After all, the place with the most slaves in the world was Mary Joshua.
Who would dare to attack a Heavenly Dragon person? How could the navy abolish slavery? The biggest customers of those human traffickers were the Heavenly Dragon people!
Seeing this scene, Chris seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.
This world was no longer the original world. There were no laws or human rights in this world. There was only the strong eating the weak.
The strong had everything, while the weak had nothing!
Suddenly, he thought of a famous saying that Doflemenco had said in the war on the top: "Justice will prevail? Of course, because the winner was justice!”
In the world of One Piece, as long as you were powerful enough, everything you did was right. But if you are weak, then even your own existence is a mistake, so you can't even guarantee your own life.
In the following period of time, treasures were bought one by one. None of them were unsold, which was enough to show the strength of the auction.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen. Next up is one of today's finale items, the famous sword, Moon Slaying.”
Grimm picked up a long blade with a black scabbard and pulled it out.
"The Moon Cutting Blade is one of the 21 Great Fast Blade Craftsmanship. The blade is decorated with a T-shape and engraved with the inscription of the waning moon. Legend has it that it was forged by the swordsmen of the Hezhi Country using metal that they fished out from the moon's shadow on the night of the full moon.”
"The starting price of Moon Cutting is 10 million Bailey, and each increment must not be less than 500,000!”
As soon as Grimm finished speaking, countless people made bids.
"11 million!"
"13 million!"
"15 million, I want it. I'm a noble. Who dares to snatch it from me!”
"Who cares if you are a noble or not? I want this saber. 17 million!”
"20 million!" Roland also made a bid.
"It's Blood Sword Roland, the captain of the Blood Sword Pirates!”
The bidder was Captain Roland of the Blood Sword Pirates, and almost everyone present fell silent when they saw his bid. After all, few people dared to go against Roland.
"25 million!"
"If no one bids, I will. 25 million Bailey!”
"Black Bear, do you want to die?" Roland roared.
"Hmph, others are afraid of you, but I'm not. It's a fair deal. Whoever pays more money will get it.”
The one who went against Roland was Captain Japaro of the Black Bear Pirates.
"Damn it, this Japaro is here to cause trouble!”Roland said fiercely.
One had to know that Japaro didn't use a sword at all. He was tall, and he relied on his iron fists in battle.
The reason why they were raising the price now was simply to consume Roland's funds, so that Roland wouldn't have enough financial resources to compete for the Demon Fruit.
"Compared to the Demon Fruit that has an unknown ability, a big fast knife is more helpful to me!”Roland made a decision in a short time.
There were almost no records of demon fruits being auctioned like this. The ability one could get was completely dependent on luck.
However, it was different for the 'Moon Slaying Sword'. This was a genuine and swift saber.
"30 million!" Roland shouted.
" 35 million." Japaro grinned.
" 40 million!" Roland gritted his teeth. He wanted nothing more than to kill Garparo immediately.
"45 million!" Japaro's tone was casual, as if 45 million Bailey was 450 Bailey.
"50 million!" Roland stood up and roared, his eyes bloodshot as if he could kill someone.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're so rich. Since you like it so much, I'll give it to you!”Japaro shook his head and laughed.
"Is there anyone else bidding? Is there a higher price?" Grimm was still asking the people present, hoping that someone would offer a higher price, but apparently there was none.
" Alright, I now announce that the swift saber 'Moon Slayer' has been won by Roland. Congratulations, Captain Roland!”Grimm said.
"Black Bear, this grudge between us has been formed. Let's see if you can walk out of Rosa Island alive.”Seeing that the auction was over, Roland said fiercely to Garparo.
"Let's go!" There was no point in staying any longer, so Roland left the venue with his lackeys.
It was obvious that he did not have the funds to fight for the Demon Fruit. Now, he could go backstage and take the " Moon Slash " and leave. He could even set up a plan to deal with Jabaro in advance.
