"Can you do a little cheaper? 350,000 and I'll take it."
Before Gusion could answer, another voice chimed in, "Haha, Dark Sky Demon, you haggling for Rumble-Rumble? 350,000? Go buy some milk instead."
A mage in white made his way up, looking far more presentable than Dark Sky Demon—handsome, sunny, the polar opposite.
Dark Sky Demon's face darkened. "Who let the dog bark?"
"It's him—no wonder he dares stand up to Dark Sky Demon. This'll be good."
The crowd murmured, recognizing the newcomer.
He walked up to Gusion, "Bro, 400,000, right? I'll take it."
Dark Sky Demon's face grew darker. "I came first—400,000, I'll buy it."
"Does first come matter? Isn't it whoever offers the right price first?"
He smiled at Gusion, "Right, bro?"
Gusion deadpanned: "Which of you is paying first?"
The white mage grinned. "Me, of course. Look at him, broke and haggling, you know he's got no cash."
He initiated the trade.
"Hold it, why are you barking—damn it, I'll kill you both next world!"
Dark Sky Demon was furious. "I'll pay 410,000."
He'd only habitually tried to haggle. If Gusion said no, he'd still buy—the Rumble-Rumble was perfect for mages like him, both for offense and survival.
Plus, he couldn't let this guy have it.
Another person, looking like a tank, squeezed in, immediately taunting, "Hey, Skin Demon, getting cocky? Your whole team chased us for ages and got nowhere. All talk, huh? Man, you stink up close."
"Next world, you better hope I don't find you."
Dark Sky Demon was visibly angry, but couldn't outtalk the guy.
"Skin Demon, that's it? So little to say? Lost for words? You couldn't catch us in the mission world, and you can't outtalk us here either?"
The burly man's words made everyone back off.
Gusion almost lost it at the nickname—Dark Sky Demon was thin as bone, but "Skin Demon" just sounded off.
Hurtful, but funny.
Now, the white mage initiated a trade for 420,000, and Gusion saw his nickname—"WhyAreYouBarking".
It was the first time he'd seen such a long nickname. Earlier, when Dark Sky Demon said "why are you barking," he thought it was an insult, but it was actually the guy's name.
"Wait! I'll pay 430,000!"
Dark Sky Demon, seeing "WhyAreYouBarking" making the trade, rushed over, "I'll pay 440,000!"
"Wow, 440,000? I think you should die first. Skin Demon, can you even afford it? Didn't you fail last world? Oh wait, my brother sniped your loot."
The tank chimed in, veins popping on Dark Sky Demon's head.
"We'll pay 450,000!"
He also initiated a trade. Gusion saw his nickname—"MoveOverImBarkingNow".
Clearly, as a main tank, he'd maxed out his taunt skills.
"I'll pay—"
Dark Sky Demon tried to speak, but MoveOver cut him off.
"Pay what? Skin Demon, you got more? 460,000? Can you even pay? Don't waste the seller's time."
MoveOver smiled, then sent his brother a transfer.
Dark Sky Demon was furious, but couldn't go higher—their team just didn't have the cash. "Bro, I came first—"
"You came first? We offered the higher price. Why were you haggling, anyway?"
MoveOver kept up the verbal assault.
Gusion frowned and looked at Dark Sky Demon. "Not enough money?"
"It's like this. Bro, you know me, let's be friends—"
Dark Sky Demon tried to negotiate.
But Gusion looked away. "If you can't pay, don't bother."
He promptly sold to the Barking Brothers for 450,000.
With the Rumble-Rumble in hand, MoveOver made faces at Dark Sky Demon, nearly making him spit blood. Their group was strong, but moving resources was tough. He could only watch the Devil Fruit get sold.
He was resentful, even toward Gusion, but was smart enough not to make threats—no point angering someone who could get so many top Devil Fruits.
With the deal done, Gusion started certifying more Devil Fruits from storage as the Barking Brothers checked out their new Devil Fruits.
As Gusion restocked his stall with five Devil Fruits, the crowd gasped.
"Bro, you've got more? Running wholesale in One Piece?"
"Paramecia, Logia… Didn't only Tier 2 and 3 explorers get into One Piece this time? How'd you get so many Fruits?"
"Unbelievable, I gotta call my team—the Paramecia one, I want it."
"Boss, get over here! Rumble-Rumble's gone—hurry, or the others will be too."
"Another Logia? This guy's insane!"
Gusion had no intention of selling them all—he'd keep two as fertilizer for the Chaos Spirit Seed.
He still felt idle, so decided to test his new bloodline's power.
Under everyone's stunned gaze, he pulled out another Devil Fruit, sliced off a piece, and prepared to eat it.
"Bro, you've got another one? And you're eating this one after skipping Rumble-Rumble?"
MoveOver was curious, but couldn't see the details since Gusion didn't display it.
Others were equally stunned. Counting this one, Gusion had shown ten Devil Fruits.
A few who'd been in the One Piece world recognized Gusion (he hadn't masked up in End Space), and even knowing he'd been with the Beasts Pirates, this many Devil Fruits was shocking—since certification was limited to five, he must have gotten at least four more through other means, likely from Deadman's Chests.
Gusion ignored the crowd and the Barking Brothers' curiosity, eating the Raijin Fruit.
Just a small bite, but it was as bad as rumored.
For the record, he'd never eaten literal shit, but couldn't imagine anything tasting worse.
The magic of Devil Fruits was instant activation—he immediately felt a surge of power.
Savoring his new strength, Gusion almost forgot about selling.
He waited for more real buyers and checked the Raijin Fruit's detailed bloodline abilities.

At first glance, the panel didn't seem especially powerful—slightly higher stat boosts than Rumble-Rumble, more balanced.
But its true strength would show in battle—lightning was always formidable. Everything Enel could do, so could he—coating himself in lightning for offense and defense.
The Raijin Fruit was both offensive and defensive, with control effects too—absolutely top-tier.
After checking the details, Titan returned with the money, bringing a new buyer as well.
