The annual auction in the Kingdom of Jia Lu was a grand event in the entire New World.
Actually, this was easy to understand.
The Kingdom of Jia Lu was big enough and had a large population. Most importantly, the Kingdom of Jia Lu was rich in mines, which made it rich.
A group of rich people with mines in their homes. They were really generous when they spent money.
Especially for some rich second-generation heirs, even if they lost all their family assets, they would not feel the slightest heartache. Anyway, as long as their family's mines were still there, they could become rich again even if they lost everything.
With such a group of tycoons around, the best treasures from all over the world would gather here.
The annual auction was a gathering place for treasures, attracting rich people and forces from all over the world.
When the auction began, the guests who had already arrived in the Kingdom of Jia Lu walked into the auction hall one after another.
"It's just an auction. Is there a need for Boss Kaido to let us come?”In one of the private rooms of the auction house, the Hundred Beast Pirate Group's signboard, Quinn, complained as he ate the food served by the auction house.
"It is said that there will be some famous swords and three demon fruits appearing in this auction. One of them is in the form of an ancient animal species, Thornback Dragon. Boss Kaido has instructed us to bring it back.”Jack said from the side,
In the future, the Hundred Beasts Pirate Group's three main signboards, Jack, was only in his teens. He had just joined the Hundred Beasts Pirate Group a few years ago, and he was not one of the Hundred Beasts Pirate Group's three main signboards. He was only a true fighter of the Hundred Beasts Pirate Group.
However, with his powerful strength and brutality, he was highly regarded by Kaido.
"It's actually an ancient demon fruit. No wonder Boss Kaido values it so much. Jack, watch out. This time, we must bring back the Thornback Dragon Fruit. Boss has a special liking for animal-type demon fruits.”
"Yes, Big Brother Quinn." Jack said respectfully.
……
"Quite a few people are here, Perolli." In a private room on the other side, Big Mom's eldest son Pero said as he looked around.
"Indeed, there are quite a few. The navy, the emperors of the underworld, and even the people of the Hundred Beasts are here. It's even the big board of plague under the Hundred Beasts Kaido, Quinn.”Big Fortune said.
"The Hundred Beasts 'goal should be that animal-type ancient species Thornback Dragon Fruit, right? Don't worry about him, our goal is different. This time, two of the three Demon Fruits that came out are animal-type Demon Fruits, and we want the third superhuman memory fruit.”Pero said.
"Mom's order is for us to bring the memory fruit back. I hope that no one will be insensible. Otherwise, I don't mind letting them know how terrifying the Big Mom Pirates are.”Big Fortune said.
"Well, if it's not necessary, it's best not to have any conflicts at the auction. This is an auction with the royal family's backing. However, the Kingdom of Jia Lu has to give us some face after the auction.”Pero said.
For a big country like the Kingdom of Garu, even the Big Mom Pirates had to think twice.
One had to know that the Kingdom of Jia Lu was extremely wealthy. In order to protect the mines and property in their hands, they had recruited many good experts. In addition, they had 300,000 well-equipped soldiers. Even Big Mom was not willing to provoke them.
Moreover, the Garu Kingdom had the world government and navy behind it. As the world's largest mining country, their power was not small. If they were in any danger, the navy would definitely be mobilized.
……
"Welcome to the Jia Lu Auction House…"
Soon, the auction began. One item after another was brought up, and every item was extremely precious.
Urey also took out a few of them, and each of them was auctioned at an excellent price, which made Urey very satisfied.
The auction soon came to an end. Finally, some people in the private room began to look serious.
To them, the auction had only just begun.
"Next, let's invite our finale treasure to the stage. I believe everyone knows that this auction will have a Demon Fruit called the Treasure of the Sea. The next auction item is called the Treasure of the Sea. Eating one can give you a powerful Demon Fruit.”The auctioneer said.
"Demon Fruit."
"There really is such a thing."
"I've long heard that the Devil's Fruit would appear today. I didn't expect it to be true.”
The guests of the auction also started discussing in surprise.
" I'm sure everyone knows that the strongest Four Kings in the New World are all users of the Demon Fruit. Legend has it that White Beard has the ability to destroy the world, and that's his Demon Fruit. As for the newly risen Four Kings, Yuri, it's said that he wasn't very strong at first, but he became the Ocean Emperor with a Magnetic Fruit. If you have a Demon Fruit, you might be the next Four Kings.”The auctioneer said.
Hearing the emcee's words, many people began to feel tempted again.
"Hehe, you really dare to say that. There is only one Jadriel Yuri in the entire world. It is an anomaly that he can reach that level.”Quinn said.
"Is that Yuri really that strong?”Jack asked.
"To be able to make Boss suffer such injuries, what do you think? Boss Mankaido said that other than the ability of the Devil's Fruit, that guy was useless. However, he had developed the ability of the Devil's Fruit to the extreme and obtained the strength of a Four Emperor. In terms of development of the Devil's Fruit, no one in the world could compare to him.”Quinn rolled his eyes.
"…" Jack looked surprised.
At this moment, the emcee continued,"... Alright, let's auction this Devil Fruit now. According to our auction house's appraisal, this is an animal-type Devil Fruit in the form of a jumping rabbit. Once eaten, it will have extremely powerful jumping and kicking abilities. The starting price is 130 million Bailey.”
"Animal series? Unfortunately, it was only an ordinary type, and the starting price was actually 130 million!”Quinn said in surprise.
Ordinary Devil Fruits were only sold for about 100 million, but the starting price was 130 million Bailey. That was too expensive.
However, even Quinn was shouting that it was expensive, but the bidding in the auction house was frequent. There were too many rich people here, and the price quickly rose to 200 million.
"Damn it, as expected, they don't know how much money they have until they reach Jia Lu. He really wanted to snatch it from him, but unfortunately, the bones of the Kingdom of Jia Lu were a little hard.”Quinn said.
In fact, Big Mom and Hundred Beasts did not dare to have any ideas about the Jia Lu Kingdom. Other than the fact that the Jia Lu Kingdom was rich and had a powerful army, there were also many people who had their eyes on the Jia Lu Kingdom, so they were afraid of each other.
This was a piece of fat meat that made everyone's eyes turn red, but they were all wary of each other. In the end, they could not make a move.
"300 million Bailey." Finally, Quine spoke. Quine couldn't stand the heroic looks of these people. He felt that he had been show-off.
"Big brother Quinn, our goal is the Thornback Dragon Fruit. It's best not to waste money on ordinary fruits.”Jack advised.
"I just don't like the arrogance of these country bumpkins. We have sufficient funds this time. When we came out, we brought 1 billion Bailey. In addition, we sold some treasures. With 1.5 billion Bailey, we should be able to get the Thornback Dragon Fruit. We can also bring back the Jumping Rabbit Fruit. Compared to Bailey, Boss Kaido prefers the Demon Fruit, especially the Animal Demon Fruit.”Quinn said with a smile.
Quinn's bid made all the customers in the auction hall quiet down. Even they were stunned by the sudden increase of 100 million Bailey.
Quine revealed a smug expression. Look at how arrogant you country bumpkins are.
"Where did this country bumpkin come from? Was it so great to add 100 million? I'll add another 150 million Bailey. 450 million. I'm not losing to anyone in terms of money.”At this moment, a voice sounded.
Hearing this voice, everyone was in an uproar.
Quinn revealed an extremely ugly expression. Who, who on earth, dared to call him a country bumpkin?
Quinn walked out of the room angrily and looked at the person. However, the person was wearing a mask, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
"Hiding thing, who do you think I am? Do you think I'm afraid of you? 650 million Bailey." Quinn said angrily.
"Quinn, big brother, this won't do. If we do this, we won't have enough funds.”Jack said.
"How dare you be arrogant in front of me and call me a country bumpkin? How can I swallow this?”Quinn was completely enraged.
"750 million Bailey, I want this Devil's Fruit for sure.”the masked man said provocatively.
"850 million Bailey, if you say you want it, then you have to.”Quinn said.
"…It's just an ordinary demonic fruit. If you want it, I'll give it to you.”the masked man suddenly said.
"…Bastard, how dare you trick me?" Quinn was furious.
At this moment, Quinn realized that he had been tricked.
"How many Bailey do we have left?”Quinn asked.
"Boss Quinn, we bought some famous swords and guns earlier, and now we only have 500 million Bailey left.”Jack said.
Quinn broke out in a cold sweat.
Although 500 million Bailey was a lot, he knew that he wasn't qualified to compete for the Thornback Dragon Fruit.
Moreover, if Boss Kaido found out about what happened at the auction, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Next up for auction is the second Devil Fruit, animal type. Ancient species, Thornback Dragon Fruit, starting price 300 million Bailey…"
"550 million Bailey." When the host announced the starting bid, a voice was heard. The owner of this voice was the masked man from earlier.
" Bastard!" Quinn looked at the masked man with a murderous gaze.
