"Forget it, just give it to him."
Seeing Golden Lion's crazy demeanor, Nox didn't want to make things too ugly. After all, the auction was held on his territory, and he didn't want to clash with Shiki, which would cause the auction to be unable to continue.
In the end, Golden Lion won the great sword, "Sea Splitter," for a price of 800 million.
"The second Asian auction item is the Paramecia-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit, with a starting price of 100 million!"
Compared to the previous 40 Devil Fruits, the Devil Fruits that were the main attractions were all relatively powerful.
The Tremor-Tremor Fruit is similar to the Tremor-Tremor Fruit; it should be said to be a lower-level fruit of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
"300 million!"
Seeing this Devil Fruit, Whitebeard immediately made a bid. He wanted to quickly improve the strength of his child, and the Devil Fruit was the best choice. If this Devil Fruit were developed under his guidance, it would definitely not be bad.
"350 million!"
"400 million!"
"."
"650 million!"
The final transaction price was 650 million, which was won by Whitebeard.
"The third auction item is the Logia-type Cloud-Cloud Fruit, with a starting price of 100 million!"
After the second item was auctioned, someone immediately took the item to Whitebeard for him to pay the funds. Then, the auctioneer, Gunter Post, began the auction for the third item.
"1 billion!"
Nox was the first to call out a price this time, instantly increasing the price tenfold.
The Cloud-Cloud Fruit, a Logia type, is a Devil Fruit that Nox is very optimistic about, not for combat, but for the deployment of the Limitless Pirates.
The Cloud-Cloud Fruit can create a sea of clouds like a Sky Island, allowing it to float thousands of meters high. Some important bases are very unsafe on the Sea, so Nox plans to put them on a Sky Island.
"1.5 billion!"
Even though Nox made a bid, there were still many people who were unwilling to give up on this Devil Fruit, as it was a Logia type!
"2 billion!"
Nox didn't care about others; he was determined to have this fruit. In terms of financial resources, he had never feared anyone present.
Seeing Nox's determination, others quickly gave up the idea of continuing to bid. After all, it wasn't a particularly powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit.
Immediately after, there was an ancient species, the Pig-Crocodile Fruit, which was won by Golden Lion.
Then there were a few more powerful Devil Fruits, which were won by other forces.
"Damn it, how can there be so many good things at this auction? If these were used to arm our Marine, why would our Marine worry about not being able to quickly grow stronger and suppress the Sea!"
Kong and other high-ranking Marine Executive Officers, although unable to be present in person, were also watching the live broadcast.
Watching things that could increase strength being bought by Pirate, their hearts ached fiercely.
After these things are taken by Pirate, they will definitely be transformed into powerful combat forces, greatly increasing the pressure on their Marine.
"Next is the last auction item. According to the seller's request, the Millennium Dragon will be auctioned in five parts: the left and right dragon wings will be divided into two parts, the dragon head to the dragon neck will be one part, the dragon body will be one part, and the dragon tail will be one part!"
"Now, the first to be auctioned are the dragon head and dragon neck, with a starting price of 1 billion Berries!"
The auctioneer, Gunter Post, had someone bring up the still-living Millennium Dragon and marked various parts of its body. Once a part was auctioned off, someone would use a knife to cut off that part.
"2 billion!"
"3 billion!"
"4 billion!"
"."
As soon as the auction began, the price soared, increasing by at least 1 billion each time, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.
This level of auction seemed to have surpassed their understanding. Is money so worthless now? The unit is calculated in "billions"!
Every change in price seemed to strike everyone's hearts fiercely.
"39 billion!!"
The final transaction price was fixed at this number, and it was not bid by someone in a private room, but by an underground force below the auction stage.
Everyone else stared eagerly at the Millennium Dragon on the high platform, which was beheaded with a single strike. The severed dragon head and dragon neck were immediately taken to the back and handed over to the person who bid on them.
And many Pirate had quietly left, hiding in the back, waiting for the person who bid on the dragon head and dragon neck to come out.
Everyone present was Pirate. They all knew what was going to happen next. As long as they didn't make a move on Venice Island, he wouldn't interfere.
After all, he already knew that it was bid on by an underground force under the World Government, so he would care even less. Even if he were to care, it wouldn't be to help them, but to rob them.
It's a pity that as the host, Nox and the Limitless Pirates couldn't make a move to rob.
Otherwise, once discovered, his reputation would be ruined, and in the future, when hosting any events, people all over the World would not buy into the Limitless Pirates.
"The second part to be auctioned is the dragon body, with a starting price of 1 billion!"
The auctioneer, Gunter Post, immediately began the auction for the second item, the dragon body, which was also the part with the most dragon bone.
"45 billion!"
As soon as Nox made a bid, it was directly 6 billion higher than the previous transaction price.
"Hiss!!!"
Everyone present couldn't help but take a deep breath when they saw Nox make a bid. These Limitless Pirates really don't treat money as money!
"48 billion!"
Just when everyone thought Nox would succeed, a higher number immediately appeared on the screen above.
At this moment, everyone present was thinking about who dared to compete with Nox on Venice Island.
But Nox knew that the person was still a force under the World Government. This scoundrel was not satisfied with getting a dragon head and neck and wanted more.
"50 billion!"
The next moment, Nox immediately entered the number again.
"Sold!"
Three seconds later, no higher number appeared, and the auctioneer finalized the bid with a hammer.
"Tear!"
The person holding the large knife made three consecutive cuts, cutting off the dragon tail and the two dragon wings. The dragon body was transported down.
"Next is a dragon wing, with a starting price of 1 billion!"
Seeing that everything was handled, the auctioneer, Gunter Post, immediately began the auction again.
"Gahaha, 40 billion!"
Golden Lion made a bid this time. Although he is still young and at his peak, he has to keep a hand. Who knows what he will be like when he is old?
Didn't Rocks get old back then, and his strength improvement almost stagnated, which is why he was gradually caught up by later generations, unable to suppress the Executive Officers below, and ultimately led to being plotted against and killed by the Executive Officers.
He, Golden Lion, does not want to repeat Rocks' mistakes.
And Golden Lion, after several price increases, won this dragon wing for a price of 47 billion.
47 billion Berries could be said to have made Golden Lion's heart ache. Even though the Flying Pirates occupy so much territory, and even though he, Golden Lion, has plundered a lot of treasure, the development of the Pirate Crew requires a large amount of funds.
Now that he has taken out these 47 billion Berries, it is more than half of the wealth in his treasury!
Other Pirate Crew saw that Golden Lion and Nox had both made bids, and they also wanted to buy a dragon wing.
After all, John, Wang Zhi, and Silver Axe are all older than Golden Lion. Now they are all over fifty years old, which is considered old. The millennium dragon bone is their hope to continue to maintain their peak.
So, the few of them teamed up and bid 50 billion for a dragon wing.
The last dragon tail was the part with the least dragon bone, but the transaction price reached 53 billion!
The total transaction price of a Millennium Dragon combined was a staggering 239 billion Berries! This was simply the most exaggerated number they had ever seen!
"Even the Law Net can't find out which force the last buyer belongs to!"
Nox specifically asked Shakky to investigate the information of the last buyer, and found that the information was blank!
"This year's World Expo ends here!"
The auctioneer, Gunter Post, bowed respectfully and immediately stepped down. He didn't want to stay here for another second. The transaction amount at this World Expo was simply too large.
The total amount before and after has already exceeded 500 billion Berries. This huge sum is less than one-fifth of the total amount of things he has auctioned in decades!
"Everyone, thank you for coming to the World Expo hosted by the Limitless Pirates!"
Just as everyone was preparing to leave, Nox stepped forward, and the spotlight shone on Nox, making everyone present look at him.
Others didn't expect Nox, the host, to appear. They subconsciously thought there was still some auction, so they didn't leave.
"Starting tomorrow, those who want to register for the Sword Art Tournament can start registering. The registration location is next to the four main gates of the Battle Pyramid."
"In this year's Sword Art Tournament, I, Golden Lion, Redfield, Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, John, Roger, Rayleigh, and other Grand Swordmaster will all participate. I hope that Swordsman from all over the World can participate in this year's Sword Art Tournament!"
After Nox finished speaking, he left, leaving the crowd in shock.
"My goodness, so many Great Pirate are participating in the Sword Art Tournament, it's simply exhilarating!"
"Hahaha, with so many Grand Swordmaster, the Sword Art Tournament will definitely be very exciting!"
"Nox is known as the World's Greatest Swordsman. If he can't win first place this time, then this title will have to be changed!"
"."
Nox's words made the Swordsman present, and even the Swordsman watching the live broadcast all over the World, extremely excited. With so many Grand Swordmaster participating, it is the most authoritative representation of the sword road!
As Nox's words fell, everyone present also walked out of the auction hall one after another, because they all knew that the most intense competition was about to begin!
Those who bid on things are safe in Venice, but outside Venice, outside the territory of the Limitless Pirates, they are not safe.
Of course, there are also Great Pirate like Golden Lion who are not afraid of being robbed at all, and they are still sitting here drinking openly.
Nox found Golden Lion and the others who had just bid on the millennium dragon bone and gathered them together.
Those who didn't bid on the millennium dragon bone, such as Roger and Whitebeard, were separated by Nox.
