Chapter 82: Auction House, Treasure Tree Adam
Sabaody Archipelago.
Grove 1, the Auction House.
When Satan brought Jewelry Bonney here, a guard immediately came forward to welcome them. "Respected guest, welcome, welcome!"
"Is the Adam Wood being auctioned here?" Satan inquired.
"Yes! You've come at just the right time, sir!"
The guard explained obsequiously.
"Looks like my luck is good!"
Satan walked towards the inside of the auction house.
"Sir, please wait a moment. The entrance ticket is one hundred thousand Belly!"
The guard stopped Satan.
"Here you go!"
Satan pointed his finger. Intrusion!
Then he swaggered into the auction house.
"Captain, what did you just do?"
"You didn't pay, did you?"
Jewelry Bonney asked.
"That's my ability. I can modify a person's memories!"
"In his memory, I've already paid!"
Satan said faintly.
"..."
"What a robber-like ability!"
Jewelry Bonney was stunned.
He had such a perverted ability to modify memories.
So, was her captain planning to use this ability to just take the auction items later?
As the two of them walked into the auction house, it was already filled with people.
Nobles, pirates, Marines, all sorts of people were there.
But these people were all sitting together harmoniously, and no conflict had occurred.
Satan even saw a few Supernovas.
Trafalgar Law, Urouge!
And some of the Straw Hat Pirates: Sanji, Nami, and others.
"I'm buying a strong man today. I broke the last one I was playing with!"
"One might not be enough. Perhaps you could consider a Fish-Man!"
"Fish-Men smell fishy, I can't stand it! By the way, what are you buying?"
"Of course, I want a beautiful young girl, preferably one who can dance."
In the auction hall, all sorts of voices could be heard.
The reason the slave auction was held first was precisely because auctioning slaves was highly profitable.
Because this world was never short of slaves!
"What disgusting guys!"
Jewelry Bonney said, dissatisfied.
"The privilege of the nobility!"
"No matter which world it is, things like this cannot be avoided."
"Deep in the human heart, there is always endless darkness hidden."
Satan could feel the Seven Deadly Sins roaming the auction house.
Greed, Lust, Envy...
If you asked him, he would also say it was unfair, but what world is truly fair?
Utopia does not exist. Even in the brightest places, there is hidden darkness.
All one can do is to continuously become stronger, to protect oneself, and to protect the people around them.
To not let any regrets happen.
[Ding, the powers of Greed, Lust, and Envy have been detected. Absorb?]
"Absorb!"
[Ding, absorption successful!]
[Ding, obtained two hundred points of Greed, randomly converted to 20 mental strength!]
[Ding, obtained three hundred points of Lust, randomly converted to 30 stamina.]
[Ding, obtained one hundred points of Envy, randomly converted to 10 mental strength!]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for breaking through the power of Lust, obtaining the secret technique: Creation!]
Creation: By coming into contact with the earth, you can change the earth into the shape you desire.
"To think I could obtain the secret technique Creation at the auction house!"
"A good harvest!"
Satan was in a cheerful mood. Who would have thought he could obtain one of the Seven Deadly Sins here?
And he had obtained the secret technique Creation.
This secret technique was equivalent to eating the Stone-Stone Fruit.
In the future, he could control the earth, and creating puppets for offense and defense would be a piece of cake.
A great harvest.
On the auction stage, a scantily clad woman arrived at the center of the stage.
She raised the microphone in her hand and shouted: "Everyone, are you ready to let this little lady empty your pockets?"
As her voice fell, the audience below couldn't help but get excited:
"Let's start the auction!"
"I can't wait!"
"As long as the things you're selling are good, money is definitely not a problem!"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of the female auctioneer's mouth. "Alright, then next, we will present the first auction item!"
The sound of clanking iron chains was heard, and a man dragged a pale-faced man onto the auction stage.
"Everyone, look, a human pirate!"
"He has been through numerous battles at sea and has a strong body!"
"And, he's a good cook. He can be your guard, and also your chef!"
"He can even warm your bed!"
"Such a good man, the starting bid is one hundred thousand Belly!"
The female auctioneer introduced him to the crowd.
"One hundred and fifty thousand Belly!"
"Two hundred thousand Belly!"
"Three hundred thousand Belly!"
Watching these guys bid frantically, Satan narrowed his eyes.
The auction house always started with appetizers.
The real show was yet to come.
In the heated atmosphere, several items were quickly sold.
But at this moment, a man wearing glasses appeared on the auction stage.
With his appearance, the female auctioneer began to exit the stage.
"Everyone, I will be hosting the auction from now on!"
"Recently, the auction house has obtained many good things!"
"Some of these treasures, I believe, will interest many of you!"
The man said with a mysterious look on his face.
"If you have something, bring it out quickly!"
"That's right, don't waste my time!"
The pirates all shouted. They couldn't stand the auctioneer's dawdling.
"What a bunch of boors!"
The nobles looked at the pirates with displeasure.
On the auction stage, the auctioneer clapped his hands, signaling for everyone to be quiet.
Then, someone immediately brought up an item covered by a cloth.
"I believe everyone here knows their goods!"
"The item to be auctioned next is this!"
The auctioneer removed the black cloth, revealing a transparent box inside.
Inside the box was a small tree branch!
"The Sabaody Archipelago, the island of endings and beginnings!"
"A good pirate ship is a strong partner for continuing your journey at sea!"
"I'm sure everyone has heard of the legend of the Adam Wood!"
"Our auction house recently obtained a piece of the Adam Wood!"
"This is a small branch cut from the Adam Wood!"
"This wood is incomparably hard, and cannot be damaged by swords. If made into a ship, it will be enough to cope with all kinds of sailing conditions in the New World in the future!"
"Even the legendary Pirate King's ship was built with Adam Wood~!"
"You could say that Adam Wood might not make you the Pirate King!"
"But if you want to become a great pirate who dominates the seas, you must have a ship built with Adam Wood!"
"The bidding starts now, with no reserve price. Everyone is free to compete!"
A glint of light flashed in the auctioneer's eyes.
The auction house had quite a few pirates.
This time, they were destined to make a huge profit.
As his voice fell, the pirates' eyes burned with passion!
The Adam Wood!
The Pirate King's ship was also built with this material!
Its sturdiness could withstand any sailing conditions!
Its attraction to pirates was extremely strong!
After all, an excellent ship was enough to overcome any difficulties!
In that moment, Satan finally opened his eyes.
The Adam Wood!
He was determined to have it!
"I bid one million!"
A pirate immediately shouted a price!
"One million? Are you trying to get rid of a beggar?"
"I'll bid five million. The Adam Wood is mine!"
