"This Devil Fruit is ours, the Beast Pirates! 200 million Berries!"
Suddenly, an arrogant and domineering roar rang out. He only saw a tall man stand up in the front few rows.
"Beast Pirates, it's actually the Beast Pirates. They actually entered the Sabaody Archipelago so openly. Aren't they afraid of the Navy's encirclement and suppression?"
Hearing that this person was actually from the Beast Pirates, the auction venue immediately had exclamations and discussions.
However, there were no people increasing the price. The Beast Pirates were famous for being unreasonable. It was better to avoid provoking them as much as possible.
When Jett saw that someone was actually disrupting the situation, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. He shouted loudly, This is a rare Devil Fruit.
Its value is definitely more than this. You can gain power by obtaining it. Everyone, think about it carefully again.
However, due to the power of the Beast Pirates, no one opened their mouths to increase the price again. After all, not everyone wanted to cause trouble.
Jett shouted several times in a row, but no one increased the price. In the end, he could only helplessly announce that the Devil Fruit belonged to the man from the Beast Pirates.
In fact, if it wasn't for the Beast Pirates disrupting the situation, they could have auctioned it for at least tens of millions more.
The two Celestial Dragons in the front row made a disdainful sound, "A group of disgusting pirates with a beast fruit is a perfect match."
"Haha, Saint Rosward, you're right. Listen to the name, Beast, aren't they just a group of beasts?" Another Celestial Dragon also laughed loudly.
The people from the Beast Pirates had a cold light flash in their eyes when they heard the conversation between the two Celestial Dragons.
However, thinking about the other party's identity, they could only grit their teeth and sit down. He couldn't afford to provoke the Celestial Dragons.
"This guy is really arrogant enough to directly reveal his identity."
Akira Stone was also quite surprised as he looked at the pirate from the Beast Pirates. He didn't recognize this person.
However, judging from the tone of his voice just now, he shouldn't be lying. He was definitely a person from the Beast Pirates.
Although there were many pirates and Navy in this auction venue, everyone had come with their own purpose and wasn't too conspicuous.
However, this person revealed his identity so openly. Wasn't this forcing the Navy to cause him trouble?
His days probably wouldn't be so good after the auction ended. If he was a bit smarter, he should leave before the auction ended.
The second auction item was quickly brought up. However, this time, what was brought up was a huge cage.
Jett walked to the huge cage, pulled down the curtain forcefully, and shouted, "The second auction item is a pirate captain."
He only saw a tall man, more than two meters tall, locked in a cage. His hands and feet were cuffed with shackles.
After the curtain was pulled down, he suddenly let out an angry roar. The roar echoed in the auction venue.
Jett, who was closest to him, was even deafened. However, he shouted, Everyone may not be familiar with this person, so let me introduce him.
This pirate captain is a great pirate from the New World with a bounty of 180 million Berries. He's not only tall, but also powerful.
Buying him home as a bodyguard, or for other purposes, there aren't any problems. Our auction house spent a huge price to capture him not long ago.
"Hiss!"
When he saw this person, Akira Stone suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air, and his eyes revealed an unbelievable look, because he actually recognized the man locked in the cage.
It was "Thug" Geoffrey White, who he had fought with on Fish-Man Island not long ago.
"How is it possible? This guy was actually captured and auctioned off?"
Akira Stone had fought with him, so he naturally knew that this "Thug" Geoffrey White's strength was very strong, completely matching his bounty of 180 million Berries.
Even he had to use all his strength to suppress him. He hadn't expected that such a great pirate would actually be captured by this auction house.
What was the background of this auction house?
Geoffrey White was locked in a cage. Because he was wearing shackles, he could only kneel there.
However, he used his head to constantly hit the iron cage, making 'bang bang' sounds, and also accompanied by unwilling roars.
However, his roars and hits didn't cause any sympathy. Instead, the auction venue was filled with laughter.
"Who is it, I wondered. It turns out it's the famous 'Thug' Geoffrey White."
I heard that he led a pirate alliance and was defeated by the Whitebeard Pirates on Fish-Man Island not long ago.
I didn't expect him to be captured and become a slave. Now he's even appearing at the auction. How interesting.
"A great pirate with a bounty of 180 million Berries? With a bounty of 180 million, then what will the starting price be?"
"A slave from a great pirate with a bounty of 180 million is quite rare. It's not bad to tie him to the door as a watchdog."
A dirty pirate. It's really disgusting. Being auctioned is still good. I want to buy him home and torture him well.
Looking at his appearance, he should be able to withstand this young master's torture, right?
"..."
Listening to the discussions around him, Akira Stone suddenly felt great sympathy for "Thug" Geoffrey White in his heart.
No matter what, he was a famous great pirate from the New World. Now, he was actually being auctioned off as a slave. What a humiliation.
From his reaction, one could see how angry he was. Even from far away, one could still see those blood-red eyes.
"Rather than being auctioned off as an auction item and becoming a slave, it's better to die once and for all. It's more straightforward."
Akira Stone hadn't felt the cruelty of slavery before. But now, seeing Geoffrey White, who he could be considered to know, made him deeply realize the pain and cruelty of becoming a slave.
He was very strange. It stood to reason that a great pirate like Geoffrey White wouldn't even have the courage to commit suicide no matter how down on his luck he was.
Compared to being a slave, suicide was obviously much simpler.
No one would care about Geoffrey White's anger. The auction officially began. The starting price was actually 180 million Berries.
Compared to the previous auction of the Devil Fruit, there were fewer people participating this time.
But the enthusiasm was far from what it had been before, because those participating in the auction were all nobles. They had a lot of money.
Buying such a slave was also a very face-saving thing for them. So each of them was recklessly increasing the price.
The price quickly exceeded 300 million Berries. Now, there were only a few people participating. But the price was still increasing bit by bit.
"400 million Berries!"
Suddenly, an arrogant shout rang out. He only saw one of the two Celestial Dragons in the front row stand up. He said loudly, "I want this slave. 400 million Berries."
After the Celestial Dragon spoke, the auction venue immediately fell silent. All the people who had bid before stopped.
No one dared to openly compete with the Celestial Dragon. So Geoffrey White was naturally bought by the Celestial Dragon for 400 million Berries.
After seeing that he had been sold, Geoffrey White let out an angry roar again, and kept struggling.
However, after Jett said a few words in his ear with a ferocious expression, the furious him was like someone had grabbed his lifeline.
His whole person collapsed, and he was carried back to the backstage.
Seeing this scene, Akira Stone shook his head slightly and sighed. He didn't have money. Otherwise, he would have wanted to buy Geoffrey White.
No matter what, the other party was also a powerful pirate.
Immediately afterwards, the third auction item was also brought up. It was actually ten fish-men of different appearances.
"Next, we'll be auctioning ten different types of fish-men. The starting price is 50 million Berries."
One fish-man wasn't too valuable. But ten different types of fish-men put together were different.
Those noble masters also began to bid. These people didn't have any other skills. They had a lot of methods for playing with slaves.
They liked to collect slaves when they had nothing to do. As the best of the best among slaves, fish-men were naturally very popular with them.
The fourth auction item was also fish-men. However, it was another batch, and it was even more valuable than the previous batch.
Although Fish-Man Island was now Whitebeard's territory, Akira Stone wasn't interested in these fish-men.
He also didn't have any intention of saving them. He wasn't that noble, and he didn't have that ability.
The fifth auction item was a bit interesting. It was actually a treasure map. The auctioneer Jett introduced that it was a treasure left behind by a great pirate decades ago.
It was said that there were countless treasures. However, the map wasn't complete. A crucial part was missing.
So it could only be determined that it was in one place on the Grand Line. But no one knew where exactly.
Although it was just an uncertain treasure map, human imagination was infinite. The credibility of this auction house also made many people trust it.
So there were still many people participating in the bidding. In the end, it was bought by one person for 120 million Berries.
In Akira Stone's opinion, this was completely looking for trouble for nothing. It was just a treasure map.
Was it worth spending so much money to buy it? What if the treasure obtained wasn't enough for that much money?
Wouldn't they cry to death? What's more, whether they could find it was still a problem.
However, Akira Stone also understood that some people just had some strange hobbies.
What they wanted to find perhaps wasn't a lot of treasure. Instead, they wanted to find the joy in the process of searching for treasure.
