Chapter 142 The treasure is captured
Chapter 142 The treasure is captured
Large and small pirates, gangsters, gangs, and members of various other forces gathered together with their partners. Their eyes changed, and their hostile eyes continued to scan every corner of the field.
For these small and medium-sized forces, the value of a Devil Fruit may be immeasurable.
Although the value of Devil Fruits is divided into high and low, the fruit's ability and development difficulty are different. Not every Devil Fruit is a big killer like a Shock Fruit or a Rock Berry, but more of them have more ordinary abilities. . But the problem is that these forces are weak enough. Let alone getting a powerful fruit, as long as you are not very unlucky and get the Homo Fruit, Ordinary Species, and Homo Sapiens form, even if you get the Pug Fruit, the strength of these forces will increase. A big chunk.
The most important thing is that there does not seem to be any big influence participating in this auction. There are no Celestial Dragons of Mariejoia, no representatives of the World Government, no minions of the Four Emperors, no hawks of the Navy...
This gave these forces that were not usually very strong, the idea of "I also have a chance to win this Devil Fruit."
At the same time, perhaps feeling threatened, a large number of bodyguards dressed in black and armed with live ammunition appeared around the high platform.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the auction house entered a strange state that was both warm and cold.
Profik was also very moved by this fruit.
Although this is just a fruit with completely uncertain abilities, it seems to be a superhuman type fruit.
Although not every Devil Fruit can have the power of the Shock Fruit and the Rock Berry, Profic will never have too much of such a marketable and priceless treasure.
In fact, the first time he saw this fruit, Profik had already decided to hand it over to Star.
In today's team, Profic, Matifa, Morana, and Gao Shifu are all capable people. Uncle Fuentes is old and has no interest in fighting. There are options available. Only Danjuma and Star were left. Among them, Star has been in the team for a longer time, but his combat effectiveness has never been outstanding.
If Star could be given a Devil Fruit, it would be of great benefit to him and the entire team.
He is also determined to obtain this Devil Fruit.
"Everyone, be prepared. We may take action soon." Profic could clearly sense the emotions of the crowd in the auction house. He knew that if he wanted to get this devil fruit, the funds in his hand would not be enough. Faced with a situation that could turn into an all-out martial arts situation at any time, fists are the greatest guarantee.
"Devil Fruit, the legendary secret treasure in the sea!"
"As long as you eat the Devil Fruit, you will gain extraordinary abilities. Even ordinary people will have the opportunity to become the most famous and powerful person in the world overnight!"
The host was worthy of her professionalism. Even in the face of so many greedy eyes, she still completed the task very calmly.
"Now, the last item, the official auction begins."
"Devil Fruit, starting price is 90 million Berry!"
"One hundred million, I offer 100 million beli!" A sturdy pirate with a huge back and a huge sword on his back suddenly stood up.
"One hundred and fifty million!" The short man sitting in the third row near the corridor immediately made a bid, increasing the price by fifty million. It seemed that he was not short of money.
Profic discovered that this man actually wore the symbol of the Don Quixote family - he was a member of Doflamenco.
The Don Quixote family is also very keen on collecting Devil Fruits. Whether they are given to their cadres to eat, resold, or used as prizes like burning the fruits, it is a good choice.
"One hundred and seventy million berries!" The sturdy pirate glared at the short man fiercely, "How dare you bid with me?"
"Bambi the Gray Wolf, bid according to your abilities!" Before Doflamengo's men could answer, someone else bid, "I'll pay 180 million."
"Twenty million!" Profik said calmly, and suddenly raised the price by another twenty million.
Next, there were several rounds of bidding, and the price increase slowed down, from tens of millions at a time, to millions, and then to hundreds of thousands. If the auction house had not stipulated that each increase in price should not be less than 100,000, then it would probably be Someone is going to raise the price by ten thousand or ten thousand.
There is no way, no matter how high the value of a Devil Fruit is, it is always limited. The price of a Devil Fruit with unknown abilities is generally between 200 million and 300 million.
On the other hand, the amount of money these small and medium-sized forces can spend is also limited. If they can grit their teeth and spend one to two hundred million beli, they are considered relatively wealthy. Currently, the closest person to winning the Devil Fruit is the Don Quixote family, which has bid 230 million berries.
"Two hundred and fifty million!" Profik increased the price again. Unlike these small and medium-sized forces, Profik was not short of money.
At this time, even the Don Quixote family could not offer a higher price to continue competing. It's not that Brother Ming doesn't even have 250 million Beli. In fact, if the Don Quixote family was given enough time, they could gather many more berri than Profic. But the problem is that the main strength of the Don Quixote family is in the North Sea after all. It is impossible for a small cadre on the great route to get more money.
"Two hundred and fifty million beli once, twice, three times!"
According to the auction process, after three times, no one raised the price, and this Devil Fruit was considered to have been bought by Profik. At this time, the atmosphere in the auction house has also entered the most tense stage.
"Well, congratulations..."
"Boys, come on!" With a loud shout, "Silver Wolf" Bambi transformed into a giant wolf. "Wolf" took the lead, followed by the pirates of the Silver Wolf Pirate Group, who swarmed up and rushed towards the high platform. , obviously intending to use force to seize the Devil Fruit.
The guards from the auction house rushed to meet him, and the two sides fought together.
The auction house suddenly became chaotic.
Every auction house in the Chambord Islands is backed by a powerful force. Although it is unclear who the supporters of this auction house are, the fact that it can stand still in the Chambord Islands is enough to illustrate its strength.
Therefore, although fights in auctions are not uncommon, and it is not impossible that some people use the threat of force, generally speaking, no one will risk the disdain of the world and take action in the auction house. Even if you really want to rob, you will choose a place other than the auction house. No matter what happens, it has nothing to do with the auction house, so as to avoid offending the owner of the auction house.
But the situation with Devil Fruit is different. Once bought, it is likely to be eaten on the spot without giving anyone a chance to snatch it.
In addition, its value made Bambi feel that it was acceptable even if it offended the owner of the auction house, so there was a situation of openly snatching it in the auction house.
With the advantage of taking the lead, the Silver Wolf Pirates beat the guards back steadily. Some other forces, seeing this situation, also swarmed forward and tried to take advantage of the fire. Some wanted to grab Devil Fruits, while others wanted to take advantage of the guards' distraction to grab other auction items.
Suddenly, a scene of chaos broke out in the auction house.
Of course, there are also some people who don't want to wade into troubled waters and plan to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
"What to do?" Danjuma asked.
"Nana, protect Mr. Falb," Profik naturally wouldn't watch the Devil Fruit he photographed being taken away, "I'll take action!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the auction house suddenly felt a collective sense of fear and hesitation, and even the fighting movements couldn't help but slow down.
"Psychic shock·fear!"
The pirates and gangsters who were originally fighting to the death for the Devil Fruit finally regained their senses and retreated to both sides tremblingly.
"It's 'The King's Shichibukai' Profic!"
"Such a big shot actually appears here..."
As Profik walked slowly towards the high platform, they were all frothing at the mouth and fell to the ground.
