"Ladies and gentlemen~~~! At this point in the auction, it is finally the most exciting moment. ”

"Today, you can be here today, with me, and this auction house under the Rat Chamber of Commerce, to witness that great moment together, this will be an unforgettable night for everyone of us present~~~! And now, it's time for us to witness the miracle together~~~! ”

The auctioneer exclaimed excitedly, "The people who can participate in tonight's trade fair, in addition to money, everyone has one thing in common, do you know what it is?" …… That's right, that's preference! Everyone here likes to collect strange things, and preferably unique weird things, but do you know what is really unique weird things? Is it the glamorous Crimson Eyes? No, no, no...... There are at least hundreds of pairs of that in the world. So is it the queen mummy of an ancient desert civilization? Of course not, there are many things that are older and more beautiful than them, so is it the golden rose guillotine that the Bostandia dynasty used to kill female members of the royal family three hundred years ago? Naturally, it's not ...... The history of that thing is too short...... So, here's the problem...... What is it that has a beautiful appearance, an ancient history, and a unique character? The answer is......"

After the auctioneer pretended to sell enough, the whole venue suddenly sounded quite shocking and infectious music, and then the floor of nearly 100 square meters in the center of the venue suddenly sank by itself and parted to all sides. An object covered with a huge veil slowly rises from below......

"Can you guess what this is?" The auctioneer had a weird smile on his face, and the next moment, I saw him suddenly exert force, and the huge rain cloth was torn off by him, revealing the hidden object below...... It was a translucent sheet the size of a car, with an elegant curve and a pearly hue. Of course, "thin" is only relative, because this thing is at least half a meter thick. It lay flat on the ground. It's as if the whole thing is made of colored pearls, smooth and eye-catching.

I don't know why, this huge thing, everyone present felt very familiar, as if they could see it every day, but for a while they couldn't remember what it was.

"Do you think it looks familiar? That's right, because you'll see it every day. You're going to use that thing, because every one of you has that thing growing in you. Because...... This is simply a piece of "human" nails! ”

Human...... Fingernail!!!

The venue suddenly boiled. Everyone was talking to each other, because no one could associate the car-sized thing below with a human fingernail...... If this is the real thing, then how huge are the "humans" who can grow such nails?

"Are you shocked? Yes, anyone would be shocked to see this. However, the size of this thing is nothing compared to the 'real' that I will announce to you later. ”

The auctioneer took a breath. He continued: "The 'humans' who own this nail have been read by DNA analysis. The most famous two-star gene hunter, Mr. Youbusi, (about the same as a genetics expert) has completed the restoration of this "human", please look at the big screen~~~! ”

On the big screen in the center of the venue, the head of an unusually beautiful woman was suddenly displayed, which seemed to be the real owner of this huge nail, but the more amazing thing was still to come, as the camera gradually zoomed out, the whole body of this "woman" was suddenly displayed, when the upper body appeared, everyone did not have an overly radical reaction, but when the camera continued to pull farther away, showing the full body portrait of this "woman", the shouts of surprise suddenly resounded throughout the audience, because, this "woman" From the waist down, it turned out to be a colorful fish body. …,

"Did you see that? The original owner of this nail is not only a super giant with a height of three hundred and seventy meters, no, a body length of three hundred and seventy meters, but also an extremely moving mermaid, not only that, after the analysis of professional hunters, on this piece of nails, high-end cosmetics similar to pure natural nail polish have also been detected, do you know what this means? This means that the species to which this giant mermaid belongs is an intelligent creature with a 'civilization'! They are essentially the same as us! It may even be even higher than us! ”

"It can't be!" Someone in the audience immediately shouted: "If such an incredible creature really exists in this world, it is impossible that there has not been a credible report that has been witnessed by humans until now." ”

The auctioneer fell silent for a moment, as if to set off the atmosphere, and even the lights in the entire venue were extinguished, leaving only a spotlight on the auctioneer's body. Then, a giant screen 20 meters wide flashed, and the image of the mermaid on it had disappeared, replaced by a map of the world that everyone had become accustomed to.

Why the World Map???

Just when everyone felt inexplicable, the auctioneer continued: "This gentleman is right, such a great creature would have caused a huge sensation if it really appeared in this 'small' world, no, if they were really civilized, I'm afraid we humans would not have a foothold." But...... What if they were originally living on the 'outside' of this world? ”

"Outside? What is the outside? You, you mean...... The Dark Continent? ”

"That's right, according to the careful study of the hunter team led by the great Mr. Pariston, the vice president of the Hunters' Association, it can now be 100% proven that the nails of this huge mermaid come from that incomparably mysterious realm, which we humans have not dared to set foot in so far, the outer world of the world map, the Dark Continent, and what we are auctioning now is such a peerless treasure, it does not know what kind of process it has gone through. How many miracles have occurred to cross the endless ocean and "drift" to our human world. ”

"Alright, let's start shooting now! [Giant Mermaid's Nails], starting price, 50 billion rings! Comes with a three-star rating certificate from the Hunter Guild and a 200 million pixel resolution DNA character restoration map. You only get one chance! Let's start ...... Grab it~~~! ”

"Five tens of billion! I want it! ”

"I'll give 70 billion!"

"Double!"

“……”

As the finale of the auction, the nails of this giant mermaid caused a huge sensation. The scene was out of control, and in the end, this nail was taken away by a perverted rich man who likes to collect human body parts at a sky-high price of 115 billion rings, which is almost one-third of the total wealth of this famous world-class billionaire. And he even threatened on the spot to transform this nail into a bed, and he would lie on it every night in the future and spend the night with the mermaid.

For many, tonight's auction was a real takeaway. But it has also greatly increased his knowledge, especially the information about the mysterious Dark Continent. Its shock made everyone tremble all over their bodies. There are a few people who are more intuitively sensitive, and even vaguely feel that the world may already be changing.

But for Rilin, this auction was fruitless, but it is not surprising that this auction was secretly presided over by Pariston. Although it seems to be unknown, but the actual scale. The influence within the industry is also the precious value of the products it sells. All seem to be about to surpass the Napis auction hosted by the gangster godfather "Ten Old Men" in Youkexin City. …,

The most striking evidence is that even the lowest final transaction price is calculated in units of "billion", and each sale is sold at a sky-high price. Even if there is something that Lilin is more interested in here, with a few poor nuns he transferred by extortion and forced sales, it is not enough to take out the funny.

"Now that it's over, I'll go back." Lilin turned around and walked towards the elevator, but Pariston beside him grabbed him and said with a smile: "Please wait, the auction is not over yet." ”

"Isn't it true that the final finale has already been auctioned?" Rillin wondered, but before Pariston could explain, he heard the auctioneer's loud and sensational voice once again ringing in the room.

"Everyone, please wait a while, this auction fair, in fact, is not completely over, in the end, we actually have another exhibit that we want to auction, a very special sale."

Under the light, a beautiful woman dressed in a bunny girl costume walked up with a boxy box, and the auctioneer lifted the veil to reveal the last and most mysterious special sale.

A round fruit about the size of a baby's skull with a red color, and a strange fruit covered with moire.

"Devil Fruit!"

After seeing this thing, even Lilin couldn't help but exclaim. And Pariston beside him has been paying attention to his expression from the beginning, and Lilin has not bothered to hide the slightest bit about this perverted guy who seems to have strong intuition.

"You know this thing."

"That's right, I know, it's called a Devil Fruit, and it can deprive a person of the ability to swim and make him disgusted by the sea, while giving him a powerful superpower."

"Superpowers? Is it something similar to the ability to read? ”

"It's a little similar, but there are a few of them that might be more powerful and magical than the ability to telepathize, eh...... It is also more destructive. ”

"That's right......"

"But it's idle to say anything now, because ...... This fruit has rotted......"

PS: If I give Rilin the ability of a Devil Fruit, can you guess what it will be? Well, it feels like no one can guess. (To be continued)
