Garparo didn't mind Roland's harsh words.
If he forced Roland away, he would have a much higher chance of getting the Demon Fruit. Then, would he still be afraid of Roland?
From the beginning to the end, Chris did not bid. From the beginning, he had never wanted to buy it with money.
To be able to buy the "Moon Slash", it must be one of the pirates present. Those nobles might be interested in this thing, but if it was raised to a sky-high price, they would definitely give up.
Therefore, when Chris saw Roland and Garparo fighting, he made up his mind to fight against each other. The one who could take down " Moon Cutting " must be one of these two.
As long as he could get rid of him, he would be able to get the "Moon Slayer" and complete the bounty mission. He would also be able to obtain the wealth of the pirates. This was the principle of killing three birds with one stone.
" Ladies and gentlemen, next up is today's finale, a Devil's Fruit," Grimm shouted into the microphone.
"You must know that the Demon Fruit is known as the secret treasure of the sea. As long as you eat it, you will obtain earth-shattering power!”"Perhaps you were just an unknown nobody before, without strength, money, or power. But as long as you eat the Demon Fruit, you can have everything. Power, wealth, status, beauty, you can get everything. This is the power of the Demon Fruit!”Grimm shouted at the top of his lungs to promote the Devil's Fruit.
"Oh! It's mine. Power, wealth, everything is mine!”
The crowd cheered. Everyone wanted to get the Demon Fruit.
"Don't fight with me, it's mine!" Japaro's eyes revealed a murderous light as he stared at the Demon Fruit.
Japaro had long received news that there would be a Demon Fruit auction on Rosa Island.
And according to the information, the Demon Fruit this time was of the animal type.
He relied on physical techniques to fight. He had never thought of the Devil Fruits of the Nature Element. They were too few.
The Superhuman Element required luck to obtain useful abilities, so the Animal Element was the most suitable for him.
As long as he ate the animal-type Demon Fruit, his physical strength, attack power, and defense would all increase.
He was also ambitious and wanted to roam the great sea route.
However, he was still too weak at the moment, so he stayed in the West Ocean. Although he was a pirate with a bounty of 68 million Bailey, he knew the cruelty of the great sea route and did not dare to break into the pirate's graveyard.
Looking at the banana-shaped devil fruit in the glass box on the stage, Chris was not tempted at all.
He was already a natural demon fruit ability user, so he would not care about a mere animal type.
Moreover, it was naturally not a useful ability that could be auctioned.
There were many unrecorded demonic fruits like this one every year, but the number of people who obtained powerful abilities from them was almost one in a hundred.
In fact, this was because Chris's standards were too high. However, to the people of the Four Seas, the Demon Fruit was simply a legendary existence. It was unlikely to come across it once in a few years.
Although the West Ocean was considered relatively strong among the four seas, the number of demon fruits was extremely rare. Therefore, the pirates of the West Ocean were very eager for the Demon Fruit.
"One animal-type Demon Fruit. The starting price is 0.”Grimm shouted.
"100 million! I want 100 million Bailey!" The first one to speak was indeed Japaro, and he offered 100 million.
The reason he made such a bid was to let everyone present know that he was determined to get this Demon Fruit.
If anyone went against him, they would definitely be targeted, and their names would appear on Japaro's must-kill list.
Hearing Japaro's bid, a large number of people who coveted the Demon Fruit were scared away.
" 110 million Bailey!" It was impossible for everyone present to be frightened by Garparo. The bidder was a boss of a mafia in West Ocean, and the Devil's Fruit was a great help to the mafia.
He had strength and power, so he didn't care much about the threat of Japaro.
"I'll join in the fun too. 120 million!”The captain of the One-eyed Pirates, Cantis, who had been quiet all this while, also made a bid at this moment.
"Cantis, do you want to die too?" Japaro glared fiercely at Cantis. His killing intent was already overflowing, and he wanted nothing more than to kill him immediately.
"Japaro, don't talk nonsense. If you have the ability, come. If you don't, don't say such harsh words.”Cantis was also a great pirate with a bounty of 63 million. His strength was on par with Gaparo's, so he wasn't afraid of Gaparo at all.
"Hmph, 150 million!" For the sake of looting five villages at the auction, Japaro had prepared about 200 million in funds.
If nothing unexpected happened, 200 million Bailey was more or less enough to buy the Devil's Fruit.
However, this was only a situation where no one was causing trouble. Now that there were gangs and Cantis fighting with him, he really did not have full confidence.
"Humph!" The gang boss snorted coldly, looking a little angry, but he did not bid.
150 million was already a very high price. Normally, buying a Devil's Fruit would only cost about 100 million Bailey. Using 150 million to bet on an unknown Devil's Fruit, this Boss was not that generous.
"160 million!" Cantis 'expression changed as well. He also desired this Devil Fruit. If he lost this opportunity, he would have to wait for a few years for the next one.
Cantiss did not receive the news in advance, so he only had 160 million in funds. This was what he had dug out from his pirate crew. If Japaro continued to bid, he would have no choice but to withdraw.
"200 million!" Japaro roared. He had already given up everything!
As long as he could obtain the Demon Fruit, he didn't care what he had to do!
"Humph!" With an ashen expression, Cantis immediately stood up and left the venue.
His group of underlings also followed him and left. No one made a sound. They all knew that their captain was in a bad mood. If they angered him, they would definitely lose their lives.
"200 million Bailey, is there anyone who can bid higher than 200 million?”
"This is a Devil Fruit. If we don't get this chance, we won't get another one. Is there anyone who wants to bid a higher price?”
Although Grimm asked loudly, no one responded to him.
"Alright, congratulations Captain Jabaro for obtaining this Demon Fruit!”Grimm swung his hammer down and announced the ownership of the Demon Fruit.
"Now, I announce that this auction has come to a successful end. If you have won an item, please go backstage to receive your item.”Grimm said with a smile.
All the guests present stood up and left, but Japaro did not.
Japaro was ecstatic. He wished he could swallow the Demon Fruit right now, not even leaving a single peel behind.
He stood up and walked to the stage. He picked up the Demon Fruit and took a bite.
"Ugh!"
Japaro's face was ashen as he fell to the ground and retched, as if he wanted to vomit out his stomach.
Chris knew what was going to happen, so he didn't leave. He sat in the corner and watched the show.
Anyone who had eaten the Devil's Fruit would never forget its taste!
After waiting for about three to four minutes, Japaro, who had eaten the Demon Fruit, grew sharp claws on his hands. A tail grew out of his buttocks. The tail was black but had a white line in the middle.
Japaro's head had also turned into the shape of a mouse. His mouth was filled with sharp teeth, and his face was covered with a beard.
"Isn't that a skunk?" Chris recognized it immediately. It was a skunk.
It seemed like this was an animal-type skunk fruit.
Chris wouldn't eat a fruit like this even if it was in front of him.
What can a skunk do? Fart?
After the show was over, Chris left quietly.
Since he knew about the fruit's ability, he could make a response in advance.
Chris didn't care about a mere Skunk Fruit. At most, his fart would stink like poisonous gas, but it was useless to Chris.
Roland, Garparo, and Cantis were all his next targets. The more information he had on them, the fewer surprises he would encounter.
Chris didn't want to experience such a thing again.
"All three targets are on the island. Who should I choose first?”
Chris returned to the hotel and stuck the three wanted posters on the wall with silver needles. He was choosing his targets.
"You!"
Chris shot out a mercury shuriken and stabbed it into a wanted poster on the wall.
On the wanted poster, a man was holding a long sword in his hand, and there were many corpses crawling under his feet.
"Captain of the Blood Sword Pirates, Blood Sword Roland. Bounty of 59.6 million Bailey.”
