However, Shakky rolled her eyes and said, How about this? You sell me the sword on your body.
I'll pay 500 million Berries to buy it. That way, you'll have money to buy the Yuki Yuki no Mi at the auction.
Akira looked at Shakky with a smile that wasn't a smile, and said, You want to buy my Zanpakutō for 500 million Berries?
Proprietress, you're too good at doing business, right? Not to mention 500 million, even 5 billion, 50 billion, I won't sell it to you.
Shakky muttered, It's just a broken sword. You won't sell it for 500 million Berries. You even want 5 billion, 50 billion.
I think you're crazy for money. If you don't sell it, then so be it. I'll see how you buy the Yuki Yuki no Mi at the auction.
Akira said very calmly, "Who said I have to buy it to get the Yuki Yuki no Mi?"
These words made Shakky widen her delicate eyes and look at Akira in surprise. She asked, "Kid, you're not planning to rob it, are you?"
Akira smiled and said, "I'm going to borrow it. If the other party is easy to talk to, I'll return it after I borrow it."
"Only a fool would believe you." Shakky said disdainfully, but she wasn't too surprised. Pirates, killing people was commonplace. Not to mention stealing and robbing.
Akira asked, "The auction is in three days, right? What's the specific time?"
Shakky told Akira everything truthfully. Although the two of them had only talked for a while just now, and there wasn't any agreement on the cooperation, neither of them cared.
Instead, they both trusted each other.
Akira nodded and asked again, "Well, then help me inquire about the whereabouts of the other Devil Fruits."
Shakky smiled and said, No problem, little guy. You should have come to the Sabaody Archipelago alone, right?
Do you have a place to stay? Why don't you stay here with me? I can give you a discount...
"Alright, I still have this much money."
Akira wasn't pretentious, and directly nodded in agreement. It was much more convenient to live here.
Three days passed quickly. What made Akira a bit regretful during these three days was that Rayleigh hadn't appeared.
However, Shakky was very good to him, and never neglected him. Of course, he had also paid enough money.
Akira, be careful. Island 3 is a lawless zone. Especially this auction seems to be very big.
Not only will there be Devil Fruits auctioned, but there will even be fish-men and mermaids auctioned.
So many great pirates and some World Nobles will definitely gather. Hide as much as you can, and don't be impulsive, understand? Shakky instructed Akira.
Akira replied, "I know. I'll be careful."
Shakky took out an invitation and handed it to Akira, and said, This is the invitation to the auction.
You can't enter without an invitation. I bought this from the underworld. Don't worry.
"Alright, thank you, Aunt Shakky."
After becoming familiar with Shakky, Akira also called her Aunt Shakky directly, which made Shakky very happy.
After saying goodbye to Shakky, Akira went to the auction alone.
In fact, Akira had thought about robbing the auction house three days ago, but he was stopped by Shakky in the end, because this auction house had a strong background, and there were many guards.
Moreover, he didn't know where the Yuki Yuki no Mi was hidden. So he was persuaded by Shakky in the end.
He wasn't planning to participate in the auction this time, because the Berries on his body probably couldn't even buy the cheapest auction item.
His purpose in entering the auction was to see who bought the Yuki Yuki no Mi, and then he would take action to rob it after the auction ended.
This way, the risk would be reduced a lot. The only uncertain factor was who would buy the Yuki Yuki no Mi.
That was why he had obtained the invitation to the auction through Shakky. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
Akira quickly arrived at the auction house. The auction house he was going to enter was very famous on the Sabaody Archipelago.
It was very large. After handing over the invitation, Akira followed the crowd and entered the auction house.
The outside of the auction house looked very large, and the inside was equally magnificent.
However, there weren't as many seats as he had imagined.
There were less than a thousand seats at most. However, the seats weren't close together.
Instead, they were separated by a short distance. In addition to these seats, there were many boxes on the second floor around the empty hall.
"It seems that this place is going for the high-end route."
Seeing the situation inside the auction house, Akira immediately knew that this auction house should be going for the high-end route.
Unlike other auction houses where people were crowded together, it was very empty, and the environment was first-class.
Akira's seat number was 369. Because it was relatively empty, he quickly found his seat, and then sat down. His gaze turned around in the auction house.
The auction stage was an empty platform of more than a hundred square meters. There was nothing.
There was only a very delicate upright table with a small hammer for auctioning on it.
Akira had come relatively early. In the following period of time, people kept entering the auction house.
However, it wasn't noisy. Everyone walked in silently, and then sat in their seats. Judging from their actions, he knew that most people were regulars here.
The people entering the auction house were different. There were Navy soldiers wearing Navy uniforms, nobles with slaves, and groups of pirates.
Even at the last moment, two Celestial Dragons with transparent bubbles on their heads walked in.
These two Celestial Dragons walked into the auction house extremely arrogantly, walking like crabs, almost walking sideways.
Under the respectful guidance of the people from the auction house, they didn't enter the closed boxes.
Instead, they walked to the front row and sat down. The people around them quickly retreated.
"Celestial Dragons, how interesting." Akira looked at those Celestial Dragons with a smile that wasn't a smile, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
After the Celestial Dragons came in, the door of the auction house finally closed.
The lights in the entire auction venue also became dim in an instant, leaving only the auction stage brightly lit.
Apart from the front row, people could only vaguely see figures in other places.
"Welcome everyone to this auction at our auction house!"
A very handsome man, wearing a tuxedo, slowly walked onto the auction stage, with a gentle smile on his face that made it easy for people to have a good impression.
"I'm Jett, the auctioneer for this auction. I hope everyone can buy the items they want here."
Jett came to the auction table, tapped the table lightly, and said with a smile, I believe that people who often come to our auction house should recognize me.
Alright, without further ado, let's start the auction directly. Everyone who has come here this time is very lucky, because this auction has many valuable items.
I believe it definitely won't disappoint everyone.
"The auction begins. There are a total of seven items in this auction. The first item is, please take a look!"
He only saw a staff member bring up a tray wrapped in cloth. With Jett's actions, the items on the tray were revealed.
"This is?"
After the items were displayed, exclamations immediately came from the entire auction venue. Akira's expression also turned horrified at the same time.
"Zoan-type Devil Fruit, Inu Inu no Mi, Model: White Wolf!" Jett shouted excitedly, That's right, the first item we're auctioning this time is it. This is a rare Devil Fruit.
There's no need for me to introduce what a Devil Fruit is. After obtaining it, you can instantly obtain powerful power.
"The starting price is 100 million Berries. Each bid must not be less than 1 million Berries. What are you all hesitating about? Let the bidding begin!"
"110 million Berries!"
As soon as Jett's voice fell, someone shouted immediately, and this was only the beginning.
"115 million!"
"120 million!"
...
This was only the first auction item, but the atmosphere in the entire auction venue had already become completely heated.
Akira looked at the crazy shouts, and was also very emotional in his heart.
He didn't know if this auction house was really rich and generous, that the first auction item was a rare Devil Fruit.
Although Zoan-type Devil Fruits were the most common of the three types of Devil Fruits, they were also the easiest to directly obtain power from. Their value was naturally not low.
