"Yes... Yes, Saint Charmaco..."
The host didn't dare to disobey the Celestial Dragon's wishes and immediately knelt on the ground, trembling.
Fate is truly strange! The Celestial Dragon Amber encountered was the same one punched away by Luffy in the original story. Unfortunately, he was only punched away and continued to jump around and disgust people. But this time, he met Amber!
"Alright... Now the auction officially begins, and the first item is xxx's painting!"
Then all kinds of strange items were auctioned one by one, such as clothes worn by the princess, Chelsea worn by the prince, and slaves of various races...
"Next up for auction is a very precious Logia Devil Fruit—the Yunyun Fruit!"
Logia!!!
Amber's eyes instantly turned red. You know, every Logia Devil Fruit can instantly turn an ordinary person into a superhuman existence.
Needless to say, a Logia Devil Fruit is precious. Even the World Government can't casually obtain one.
Like CP9, who worked hard and served as servants and dogs, the reward given by the World Government was just an ordinary Zoan Devil Fruit.
The host's words instantly caused a sensation in the audience, and they looked at the fruit greedily.
"Mine, I want that fruit! It's mine!"
"No, I won't let you have it. I can get revenge with that fruit!"
"Are you looking for death? Dare to compete with me? Do you know who my father is?"
The crowd started to quarrel even before the auction began.
The host was very satisfied with the atmosphere. "Alright, remember our slogan: The highest bidder wins. Let's start bidding now."
"The reserve price for this fruit is 700 million Berries!"
"700 million!? My entire fortune is only 300 million Berries!"
"This is terrible. If I buy this fruit, I'll have to use my entire fortune..."
"Look carefully, 700 million is just the reserve price. Don't even think about it with your little fortune!"
The reserve price of 700 million instantly scared away many people, but the organizers didn't care. They were all poor people. The real rich people were in the small group.
"I'll bid 710 million."
Finally, someone made a bid.
"750 million!"
"Damn it, I'll bid 800 million. I'm from the xxx Pirate Group. Who dares to compete with me?"
A burly pirate stood up and shouted angrily.
"You little pirate with a bounty of 100 million, what are you doing here! I'll offer 900 million, I hope everyone can give me xxx some face."
"It's xxx with a bounty of 300 million!!!"
...
Finally, this Logia was sold for 1.2 billion Berries. At that moment, a very unpleasant voice sounded.
"1.5 billion Berries!"
Celestial Dragon Charmaco Saint finally made an offer. What were the things in front of him? He almost couldn't control himself and wanted to order his CP0 to massacre the scene.
Finally, something interesting appeared. This Devil Fruit could cultivate a good slave. As for eating it himself? How could a noble Celestial Dragon eat such a dirty thing! He was not that cheap guy, Doflamingo.
To him, 1.5 billion Berries was just a drop in the ocean. He had 150 billion Berries. It wasn't enough to ask the participating countries to pay tribute, and it wasn't enough to directly ask the World Government to print more.
The scene immediately became silent, and no one dared to oppose the supreme Celestial Dragon.
"Lord Charmaco offered 1.5 billion Berries!"
"1.5 billion Berries going once."
"1.5 billion Berries going twice."
"1.5 billion Berries going three times."
"Congratulations to Lord Charmaco!" The host was extremely flattering.
The audience also clapped their hands enthusiastically, which greatly satisfied the vanity of the Celestial Dragon.
Amber stared closely at the Devil Fruit that was being put away by the Celestial Dragon's guards, preparing to grab it when the Celestial Dragon was killed.
"The last item in this auction is also the most precious one!" the host introduced solemnly. Even the staff began to beat the drums. The spotlight on the stage began to change colors. At this time, a person covered with white cloth was pushed up.
"She has beautiful hair, a beautiful face, and a graceful figure. She is the darling of the sea, the treasure of the sea. All the beautiful things in the world can be used to describe her..."
The host used exaggerated words to praise her, and everyone in the audience looked eager.
"I believe many people are eager to see her, so I will show her to everyone now!"
The host suddenly pulled off the white cloth, and everyone finally saw the item inside. It was a mermaid.
The upper body was a beautiful human female wearing sparse clothing, and the lower body was a fish tail.
The female mermaid folded her arms tightly, looking very scared.
This was a lost mermaid. Because she was very interested in the outside world, she sneaked out of Fish-Man Island with a few companions and ran to the sea to play.
She saw the fiery red sun, the white moon, and so many beautiful sceneries. She was addicted to it.
But those humans suddenly appeared and caught her with a net. She didn't know what mistake she had made to be caught, and she didn't know what these humans were going to do. She was very scared.
"Mermaid!!!"
"Is this the legendary mermaid? I didn't expect to see such a creature in my lifetime!"
"She is so beautiful! I want her. She is mine, mine!!!"
The buyers in the audience shouted loudly as if they were possessed.
After these people bought the mermaids, some planned to collect them, some intended to watch them, and some perverts would do shameful things with them.
Ever since Whitebeard claimed Fish-Man Island as his territory, it has become increasingly difficult to catch mermaids. Only the occasional mermaids who sneak out will be caught.
Female mermaids haven't been auctioned for a long time, which is why they seemed so crazy.
"Alright, let's start bidding now. Her base price is..."
The host was about to announce the start, and the buyers in the audience were ready to bid when the voice of the Celestial Dragon came over.
"I want this slave!"
"But... but, Lord Charmaco, this... this does not comply with the rules of the auction house..." the host said tremblingly.
The Celestial Dragon pulled out a gun and pointed it at the host, "I said I want it, you filthy slave."
"Sir... sir, please, don't..."
"Bang..."
...
