073 The auction house opens
Three days later.
Chambord Islands, Area 1, a celestial auction house deep in the forest.
As Russ said, the auction house only announced two days in advance the gimmick of auctioning off a few Devil Fruits, and it became the focus of attention of almost all the forces on the island.
A high-quality Devil Fruit is definitely an opportunity for people to enter the world of the strong in one step, and it is too important for those who pursue strength.
For pirates and bounty hunters, who wear their heads around their belts all year round, there's nothing more important than gaining strength.
In just two days, I don't know how many people raised funds by selling items in order to participate in the auction house.
Now, the day when the Celestial Auction House began bidding has finally come slowly in the anticipation of countless people.
"Devil fruits, it's hard to findβ"
"This Devil Fruit is definitely Lao Tzu! Don't even try to rob me! β
"If you eat it, you will be able to increase your strength, and I will have a greater chance of going to the new world, so I must seize this opportunity!!"
"! No one wants to rob my stuff!! β
The auctioneers, who had already been in Area 1, frantically converged at the door of the Celestial Auction House.
"Get out of here! Devil Fruits are not for you garbage to bid on! β
"What do you say? Don't die, huh?! β
The gunpowder-smelling smoke between bidders has already begun to unfold before it enters the auction room.
Some hot-tempered pirates disobeyed each other, and even fought each other on the grass not far from the entrance of the auction hall.
The guards at the entrance of the auction hall watched coldly, for them, this kind of situation is too much to see in a year.
The Celestial Auction has the protection of the Celestial Dragons, and there are basically no people who dare to make trouble inside, but they can't control so many things outside the auction house.
And this kind of fight can also block a large part of the onlookers.
Countless crowds huddled on the grass, and the verbal abuse began to rise into a sign of a fight, and in just a few minutes it turned into a small war.
"Whoa!"
The huge wind pressure emitted by a pure slash quickly swept through the middle of the battle situation of the crowd, and a tiny incision nearly twenty meters long was cut on the grass from a distance, and the slash pressure was strong enough to tear the air to make people's skin chill.
Quiet!
Deathly silent.
Shocked by the sudden and powerful slash, it was like a thug fighting with a stick, and suddenly a cannonball came and came amazingly, and everyone immediately stiffened all their movements.
"Stomp, stomp."
The boots fell slowly but forcefully on the grass, and a young man with short black hair and a black top hat with white fluff on his head stepped out, wearing a burgundy patterned blouse, a black vest, and white trousers, like a gentleman's calm self-slashing through the middle of the battle.
Even more striking are his eagle-sharp yellow pupils, as well as the inky broadsword with a cross-shaped handle behind him.
"Hey, hey! My eyes are delusional, and I actually see him here! β
"As rumored to have a strong swordsmanship like Eagle Eye, Jorakol Mihawk."
"Oh my God, isn't he going to the New World?"
After recognizing that it was Jorakol Mihawk, the people stepped back with a look of fear and a pale face.
In the disguised hidden crowd, Zoren looked at the young man who was strolling across the grass with a faint sharp breath, his dark eyes shrinking slightly.
He furrowed his eyebrows and thought secretly, "'Hawkeye' Mihawk, he actually came to the auction house?!" β
There is no need to be reminded by the barrage, Mihawk's reputation on the sea is already loud enough, and basically no one on the sea has not heard of his name.
A one-man pirate group, the contemporary master of the supreme fast sword and the twelve crafts known as the "world's strongest black knife", and an absolute swordsmanship powerhouse.
"Hawkeye" Mihawk and "Redhead" Shanks, "Dragon Slayer" Ryoma and others are all candidates for the world's No. 1 swordsman, and a character like him is a legendary powerhouse!
If Zorren had to choose, he would rather offend Doflamingo than offend a moody character like Mihawk. A carefree person is sometimes even more terrifying than a person with a powerful underground organization.
Although Zorren's goal is also a legendary powerhouse, maybe the two will meet in the future, and it is not certain that there will be a battle conflict, but I hope it is not now.
There is still a long way to go from the strength of the man in front of you!
As if sensing Zoren's concerns, Russ next to him whispered, "Don't worry, his purpose shouldn't be a Devil Fruit." β
Zorren nodded, and continued to watch quietly.
Mihawk walked to the entrance of the auction hall, and the guards around him greeted him with a smile, and he didn't ask for a minimum of 100 million proof of funds, so he let him in directly.
After seeing Mihawk enter the market first, the others also put away the guys in their hands boringly, took out the invitation letter if there was an invitation, and took out the certificate if there were enough funds, and entered the Tianren Auction House one after another.
"Get out of the way! The Celestial Dragon Master is here! β
I don't know who said it, and the people who were still queuing up to enter the arena stepped aside, and even the pirates who were extremely vicious and vicious just now, after hearing the "Tianlong Man", their faces changed slightly to give way, without the slightest dissatisfaction.
Under their slightly nervous gaze, two men and a woman, dressed in bizarre costumes and wearing a spherical hood that provided oxygen, were sheltered by several servants into the auction house.
A male Draco man, holding a dog dressed as a strong man with a rope in his hand.
During the whole process, the Draconians almost ignored the people who gave way on both sides, and took care of their own arrogant strides, and the heads of the guards at the door were almost lowered into the grass.
After the Draco people completely walked into the auction hall, the nervous expressions of the people in line eased, and they did not provoke the unhappiness of the Draco people, which was enough to make them feel very lucky. I heard that some Tianlong people have weird fetishes, and if they don't like you, they will shoot and kill them directly, and you don't even dare to squeak.
Here in the Chambord Islands, not far from the Holy Land and the Navy Headquarters, the Draconians are definitely the most unprovoked existence! Not one of them!
As long as something that threatens the Tianlong people happens, it will directly alarm the admiral of the "highest combat power of the navy" to come, which is basically a dead end.
After seeing that the Tianlong people also entered the auction hall as they had guessed, Zoren, who was still queuing up next to him, breathed a sigh of relief.
At least so far, except for the incident of "Hawkeye" Mihawk, the rest is expected by him and Russ.
"Then the real show begins."
Zoren squinted his eyes seriously, and after providing proof of funds exceeding 100 million Baileys with Russ, he walked into the Celestial Auction House with qualifications.
