Chapter 83: A Marriage Proposal from a Female Celestial Dragon
"I bid 5 million Belly!"
"I bid 10 million. How about you all give me some face?"
"The Adam Wood, my Red Wolf Pirates want it!"
A pirate stood up and shouted.
"Tch, trying to buy the Adam Wood with a mere ten million? I bid twenty million!"
"How about you all give me some face?"
A pirate said with contempt, and the hall burst into laughter.
The captain of the Red Wolf Pirates' face turned grim.
"Captain, should I make a move?"
Jewelry Bonney asked.
"No rush. Trying to buy the Adam Wood with a mere ten million is simply ridiculous."
"The main event is always at the end. But since we're here, let's play along."
Satan smiled faintly.
"Can I?" Jewelry Bonney's eyes lit up, full of pleasant surprise.
Auctions were a rich man's game.
Although she was once a pirate captain, all her money had been eaten away.
"Why not?"
"Bid as you please. It's not like I'm going to pay anyway!"
Satan smiled.
"Then I bid thirty million Belly!"
Jewelry Bonney shouted.
In that moment, she discovered that buying things could also be a kind of fun.
No wonder those nobles were so fond of it. It felt almost the same as fighting someone.
Except, at an auction, you crushed your opponent with financial power.
"You damn bastard, don't you know who I am?"
The pirate captain was enraged.
He had made his intentions clear, yet someone was still causing trouble.
"Captain, that's Jewelry Bonney, one of the Supernovas!"
A pirate pulled on the pirate captain's clothes.
Hearing the word "Supernova," the pirate captain immediately cooled down.
In front of a Supernova, he was nothing!
"The Gluttonous Woman is with that guy?"
"Now that's big news!"
In the auction hall, Trafalgar Law's brow furrowed.
He had originally come to the auction to broaden his horizons before entering the New World.
Now, he had witnessed an incredible scene.
"These pirates nowadays are really clueless!"
"Trying to buy the Adam Wood with thirty million? I bid fifty million Belly!"
"Pirates are not worthy of touching such a treasure!"
A Marine Vice Admiral spoke up.
"Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Sarn! It seems he has no intention of letting the Adam Wood go to the pirates!"
"Well done, Vice Admiral Sarn! We absolutely cannot let the Adam Wood fall into the hands of pirates!"
"That's right, this way, the pirates will return empty-handed!"
The nobles did not hesitate to praise the Marine Vice Admiral.
Nor did they hesitate to express their disgust for pirates.
"Damn Marines, they're so annoying!"
Jewelry Bonney frowned.
"Then just keep raising the price. One hundred million, buying the Adam Wood is a steal!"
Satan laughed.
Hearing this, Jewelry Bonney's eyes lit up. "I bid 80 million Belly!"
"Eighty million Belly? Does that woman have that much money?"
"Him?"
Trafalgar Law's gaze shifted to Satan.
The Demon King Satan with a 300 million bounty was particularly conspicuous no matter where he was.
On the other side, the Marine Vice Admiral was furious.
He simply didn't have that much to buy the Adam Wood.
Justice would absolutely not allow pirates to profit.
The Adam Wood must not increase the strength of pirates!
But he had no money!
In that moment, the Marine Vice Admiral was extremely vexed.
"The Adam Wood seems fun!"
"I bid three hundred million Belly!"
A proud laugh sounded, the voice arrogant and unrestrained.
With one bid, she raised the price to three hundred million Belly.
The entire auction house was stunned. The one who had bid was a woman wearing a glass bubble on her head.
A Celestial Dragon!
Saint Shalria!
"My daughter is going to squander our fortune again!"
"The Adam Wood is meaningless to you!"
Beside Saint Shalria, an old man also wearing a bubble on his head spoke up.
This person was also a Celestial Dragon.
Saint Rosward.
"I like to see the despairing and powerless looks on these commoners' faces!"
"Hahahaha!"
Saint Shalria laughed loudly, her voice full of mockery towards the pirates.
Money was just a number to the Celestial Dragons.
The pirates in the auction house were all furious.
But not a single one dared to resist.
Because they were Celestial Dragons.
"Three hundred million Belly!"
"Is there anyone else?"
"Does anyone have a higher price?"
The auctioneer shouted.
Three hundred million Belly, if it were an ordinary piece of Adam Wood, would definitely be a profit.
But the Adam Wood being auctioned today was a large, top-quality piece.
Three hundred million Belly was not a satisfactory price!
For this, the auctioneer felt disappointed.
But a Celestial Dragon had bid. Who would dare to compete?
Even the shills of the auction house didn't dare to raise the price.
The Celestial Dragons were the World Nobles. No one dared to snatch what they had their eyes on.
"Captain, what do we do now?"
Jewelry Bonney frowned.
The Adam Wood was for the pirate ship of the Seven Deadly Sins Pirates.
Were they going to return empty-handed?
"We'll just buy it back!"
Satan smiled faintly, then slowly stood up and said: "How about you all give me some face!"
"Five hundred million Belly. The Adam Wood is mine!"
As his words fell, the auction house was stunned once again.
Everyone's gaze turned to Satan.
"Is this guy crazy? Competing with a Celestial Dragon for something!"
"A mere pirate, what face do you have!"
"Is your face bigger than a Celestial Dragon's?"
"I think he's a fool, going against a Celestial Dragon!"
"He's dead for sure!"
The nobles discussed among themselves.
The authority of the Celestial Dragons was an iron rule.
The pirates also showed looks of horror.
"As expected of someone with a 300 million bounty!"
"He scared off a Celestial Dragon before, and now he's snatching an item that a Celestial Dragon has their eye on!"
"Is this guy the bane of the Celestial Dragons?"
"Ahahaha, it seems we're in for a good show!"
The pirates felt extremely satisfied.
The Celestial Dragons were high and mighty. Now, finally, there was someone to put them in their place.
"Damn it, how dare you compete with me for something!"
Saint Shalria was enraged.
But beside her, Saint Charloss stopped her.
"Sister, don't be angry!"
"That's the Demon King Satan, don't fight with him!"
"We can't beat him!"
Saint Charloss advised.
"My foolish son, when did you become so timid!"
"We are Celestial Dragons!"
Saint Rosward said, dissatisfied.
"No, that guy will really kill us!"
"He won't care about my identity. Impel Down couldn't stop him!"
"My guards can't stop him either!"
"Unless an Admiral comes, but before that, can we escape his clutches?"
It seemed that after being taught a lesson by Satan, Saint Charloss's mind had become sharper.
He had begun to understand how to assess a situation.
Hearing this, Saint Rosward's eyes flickered.
He was old, and although he was a profligate, Saint Charloss's words carried weight.
"The Adam Wood doesn't seem to be of any use to me!"
"If you want it, I can let you have it!"
"But, you have to be my man!"
Saint Shalria spoke up.
As her words fell, the people in the auction house were shocked once again.
Did they hear that right?
A Celestial Dragon was proposing marriage?
Not only did Satan not anger the Celestial Dragon, but he had gained her favor instead?
What was going on?
Everyone was bewildered
