Chapter 70: The Demon Knife and the Sweet Fruit
Admission to the auction venue is not completely open to the public, but even putting aside Kaede's identity, whether it is Stussy or Doflamingo of CP0, they are big names in both black and white, and the admission qualification can naturally be obtained casually.
Robin is still more interested in the ancient ruins that have not yet been explored, but the auction is about to begin, so naturally Kaede's idea is more important.
Since it is an open-air auction venue, there are no VIP boxes or anything like that, but the aristocracy and royal families are basically concentrated in the front row.
Kaede Night, who has a relatively low-key style, casually chose a few vacant seats in the back with Robin and others, even if he used illusion to reduce his sense of existence, it only reduced his deterrence and charm to some extent The impact of his charm on the outside world, after all, his appearance and charm are too high, if he is in too conspicuous places, he will inevitably still be noticed.
“…… The next auction is the second-generation Muramasa, who belongs to one of the twenty-one workers of the Great Quick Knife, which is said to be one of the rumored demon knives, and it is difficult for non-powerful people to control this knife. ”
After passing through antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., something finally appeared that gave Kaede a little glance, but it was only a glance.
Although the twenty-one works of the Great Fast Knife are also rare famous knives, they do not match his style, after all, he even gave the artifact Kusanagi Sword to his younger brother, which is an artifact that surpasses the twelve works of the Supreme Great Fast Knife, so even if it is just used for decoration, it must be one of the twelve works of the Supreme Great Fast Knife to be barely qualified.
Because the Kingdom of Prodes itself is a country with strong folk customs, the auction of the second generation of Muramasa was more popular than the previous antique calligraphy and paintings, and finally sold for 77 million Baileys.
This price is already high for a sword, as the vast majority of swordsmen are not very rich.
"Cong Yunche, a generation of Muramasa, a generation of ghosts, and a night ...... There seem to be a lot of demon knives in the Supreme Quick Knife. Robin sat next to Kaede and spoke thoughtfully.
She wasn't very interested in swords, but as an archaeologist, she had read enough books, and some of the famous swords themselves represented history, so she had some knowledge of them.
"Because the Supreme Knife is too difficult to control, most of the Supreme Knife has some ferocious characteristics, and if you can't control it, you will be injured by the knife, so it is called a demon knife."
Kaede Ye folded her arms in front of her and spoke.
Like one of the Great Quick Blades, the Enma will overuse domineering power and drain the energy of the sword wielder himself, which can also be counted as a kind of demon knife, but compared to the Muramasa and Onitoru who are spread outside, it has not killed many people, so it has not been named a demon sword.
"It seems that Mr. Kaede Ye is more interested in demon knives."
Doflamingo looked over.
Feng Ye said calmly: "Sort of." ”
Compared with ordinary knives, the demon knife is naturally more interesting, after all, it is not used for fighting, but only for decoration and play.
"Hmm......"
Doflamingo's eyes flickered a few times, and after he was about to go back, he immediately mobilized the channel news of the dark world and the power of the bright world of the world government, and searched for the part of the demon knife in the Supreme Quick Knife Twelve Jobs from black and white.
For an existence like Feng Ye, it is natural that there is an opportunity to show favor and win over, and he knows enough things to know this too well.
Another moment passed.
After the auction of many items, the host of the auction hall brought a still wooden plate, on which was covered with a delicate red silk, and on the silk was placed a piece of fruit with a strange shape, which made many people's eyes look over.
This is already the second half of the new world of the Great Voyage, even ordinary people are very familiar with the Devil Fruit, and when they see the strange pattern, they are basically quickly recognized - this is a Devil Fruit!
"It looks like a superhuman devil fruit."
Stussy said with a small hand on his chin.
As CP0, she has a deep understanding of Devil Fruits, and although she can't tell what they are at a glance, she can easily distinguish the types.
“…… Then, the next thing to be auctioned, as you can see, is a devil fruit, which is an extremely rare thing, and although it will be cursed by the sea after eating, it will also gain great power! ”
The host's voice echoed through the venue.
This Devil Fruit is also the finale item of today's auction, and the starting price alone is set at 100 million Bailey, which is basically the reserve price of the Devil Fruit.
Originally, this Devil Fruit was intended as a tribute to the Draconians, but due to the destruction of the Holy Land of Mary Joya not long ago, most of the Draconians felt the pain and died, so the heavenly gold and all kinds of precious items offered around the world stopped.
Some poor world government member countries, although they don't dare to do anything on the surface, many civilians are secretly chanting the name of Kaede Night, Maple Night destroyed the Holy Land and prevented the collection of heavenly gold, which is almost equivalent to saving their country!
On this sea,
For the major forces, Kaede Night has a terrible notoriety, but for many countries that are not wealthy, Kaede Night has become a benefactor who is silently grateful and praised in their hearts!
"According to the description in the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, this Devil Fruit is called Sweet Fruit, and it has the ability to make people have a charm that makes people feel enchanted after eating......"
The host gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the Devil Fruit.
Ordinary devil fruits, such as dachshunds and the like, are not only not attractive but will dispel other people's ideas, so they are basically not introduced.
But this Devil Fruit is different, according to its ability, it should be very attractive to women, and if it is introduced, it should be more conducive to bidding, so I made a more detailed introduction.
"Huh?"
The host's introduction surprised Kaede Ye slightly.
This is the ability that originally belonged to Hancock, and the Sweet Fruit would appear here, instead of falling into the hands of the Draconians, and there was no doubt that it was his influence.
"Don Jr., I want this Devil Fruit."
Kaede Night glanced at Doflamingo.
Doflamingo immediately replied with a look of no problem, "Understood." ”
After the presenter's introduction, he announced, "...... Then, the starting price is 100 million Baileys, and each auction is not less than 10 million Baileys, and now the auction begins! ”
"Five hundred million Baileys!"
Doflamingo raised his card directly.
One sentence made many royal nobles who were preparing to bid all of them stop at once.
For a devil fruit, such a price is already very high, after all, the nobles' idea of this fruit is just to buy it back and let their women eat it.
"550 million Bailey ......"
Some members of the royal family wearing crowns tentatively increased the price.
Doflamingo sneered, licked his lips, and said:
"Seven hundred million!"
Although he was Xiao Tang in front of Feng Ye, he was still Doflamingo in front of others, and this sentence and the momentum revealed in his expression suddenly made the royal family's heart tremble inexplicably, and he felt that Doflamingo was a very difficult guy to mess with.
After hesitating for a moment, he gave up the bid, and said comfortingly to the woman next to him: "Forget this, I don't know if it's really the same as what he said, maybe it's a lie, I'll buy you something else next time." ”
