Chapter 229: Blackbeard's Ambition!
The underground auction house, although it has the name of the underground world, but the location of the auction house is extremely arrogant on a small island in the middle of the new world.
Located in the middle of the realm of the Whitebeard Pirates and the BIGMOM Pirates, this small island is one of the few buffers against war, and many dark forces hovering here.
Marco took Tiqi to the underground auction house, and he looked left and right, and found that he knew most of the people who participated in the auction this time.
Many people smiled when they saw Marko, they wanted to come up and say hello, but they didn't have the guts.
"Thief hahahaha, Captain Marko, you have a good reputation outside."
Titch smiled very proudly, holding a cherry pie in his hand, and the bold appearance of eating it made others think he was eating big flesh and bones.
After seeing the frightened eyes of the people around him, Titch didn't hesitate to slap his ass at Marco.
Marco rolled his eyes, the group was just trying to get in touch with their Whitebeard Pirates, but he wasn't the kind of person to talk to.
Anyone who dares to provoke the Whitebeard Pirates will be severely punished by Marko.
Following the guidance of the underground auction staff, Marco and Titch came to the first row of the auction hall, where only representatives of the Four Emperor Pirates and the Underground Kings were eligible to sit down.
Marco sat on the soft sofa very naturally, and Tiqi unceremoniously picked up the red wine on the table in front of him and directly bit the cork and drank it in a big gulp.
The auction room was crowded quickly, and not long after Marco and the others were seated, the entire auction room was packed.
Even in the first row, there were quite a few people.
"Hmm, Perospero?"
Marco's eyes were on the man sitting on the sofa on the left, with his trademark long tongue and distinctive laughter, it was none other than Perospero, the candy minister of the BIGMOM Pirates.
"Peropelo ~ Marco, I didn't expect you Whitebeard Pirates to be interested in this auction, but I'm curious, did you bring enough money?"
Perospero had apparently noticed Marco as well, after all, the shape of the pineapple head was not seen in the whole of the New World.
When Marco shifted his gaze, Perospero did not hesitate to start scolding.
Under the command of the Four Emperors, Perospero's status is actually one level lower than Marko's, after all, the number two person in the BIGMOM Pirates is Katakuri, not him Perospero.
However, Perospero knows that the Whitebeard Pirates have always been "poor", and they will hardly participate in this kind of auction, so could it be that there is something in this auction that the Whitebeard Pirates want very much?
"Perospero, I don't mind ripping your tongue out if you don't keep your mouth shut."
Although he is over thirty years old, Marko's temper is still very hot.
For Perospero's ridicule, he directly scolded him mercilessly, and the underground kings and pirates around him were a little dumbfounded, and then they covered their mouths to prevent themselves from making a sound.
The dialogue between the two king pirates is not something they can participate in.
"Peropero ~ If you have this ability, you can come!"
Perospero is completely worthy of Marko, although his strength may not be as good as Marko, but there are many more people from their BIGMOM Pirates than the Whitebeard Pirates!
"By the way, Marco, you're next to the blackbeard who was blown very exaggerated before, why haven't you seen him for a while, and his arms are gone?"
Perospero clasped his hands to his chest and made a disdainful gesture directly.
A cripple who enjoys such a high reputation on the sea, really thinks everyone is red-haired!
Marco was immediately furious, you said he could, but if you dared to say anything about Whitebeard or his brother, Marco would do it.
"Captain Marco! Captain Marco, the underground auction house can't be touched,
Otherwise, we will be blacklisted, and the most important thing for us now is to take down Adam Tree!"
Titch immediately stopped Marco, knowing that he was going to help once he got Marco and Perospero to do it.
In this way, the two of them will definitely be kicked out of the underground auction house, after all, even Whitebeard has to give the entire underground force a little face.
This time, they want to take down the treasure tree Adam, and at the same time see what kind of fruit the so-called Great Axis Natural Devil Fruit is, if they are driven out, they will not be able to get anything.
Perospero is not afraid, because there are a lot of people coming, and even if he is kicked out, there are other people who can complete BIGMOM's mission, in fact, he is so aggressive in order to get Marco and Tiqi away.
With one less Four Emperors, the chances of their BIGMOM Pirates winning more auction items will increase.
"Cut."
After seeing that Marco was actually persuaded, Perospero obviously showed a trace of unhappiness, and his plan actually failed.
But it doesn't matter, competing with their BIGMOM Pirates for financial resources, the Whitebeard Pirates are a little more tender.
It was under this peculiar opposition that the auction began.
The person in charge of the auction was a well-known appraiser in the underground world, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he directly asked several scantily clad female assistants to send the first auction item.
As an appetizer, the underground auction house understands the importance of opening heat, so the first auction item is directly a big one for everyone!
"This first auction item is a famous knife from the West Sea, one of the twenty-one craftsmen of the big fast knife, the famous knife is the order, it is rumored that its successive owners have relied on it to save their lives in the bloody war, so there is also a saying that the life-locking knife, the starting price is five million Baileys, and each bid shall not be less than 500,000 Baileys, please bid for those who are interested."
The auctioneer pulled out a double-edged sword that looked like a crystal, and this famous sword made many swordsmen very covetous.
Although Perospero is a Devil Fruit ability and doesn't like to use swords, there are quite a few swordsmen in the Charlotte family, including Charlotte Kleejia and Charlotte Smuge, who have impacted the realm of the Great Swordsman.
After taking this famous sword, after going back, Kleejia and Smuji must be very happy.
"Ten million Baileys."
The value of a famous knife is uncertain, similar to the Liangkuai knife, and the average price is around 5 million to 10 million Baileys.
And the big fast knife, the starting point is 10 million Bailey.
Perospero knew that after he shouted the price, few people dared to bid with him, so he directly shouted a reserve price for a big fast knife.
Just as Perospero thought, after he spoke out, no one dared to bid with him, even if someone looked unhappy.
Marco had a bit of an idea of getting things done, but was stopped by Titch.
Now they are choking with Perospero, no matter who takes this famous sword, when they compete for the treasure tree Adam and the natural Devil Fruit in the future, Perospero will definitely entangle them.
Not worth it, not worth it.
So, under the somewhat ugly look of Marco and the auctioneer, Perospero got a legendary big fast knife at a price of 10 million cabbage.
"Peropero~ I'm very satisfied with this knife, but you can also bid."
After winning the famous sword master, Perospero laughed very proudly, and he also knew that many people were unhappy with him, but on the premise of not wanting to offend BIGMOM, no one dared to really fight with him.
The few people present who can bid head-on against BIGMOM's pressure are only the Whitebeard Pirates and the Underground King, but it's just a big quick knife, and it's not worth their shot.
The opening heat turned into the opening cold, and the auctioneers and the underground auction house were very unhappy, but they had no choice but to lick their faces and smile and continue the auction.
The second item is not as bright as the first, it is a batch from the country of destruction
The nobles of the degree, there are princesses and princesses who can sing and dance, as well as noble sons and brothers with fine skin and tender meat, and the appearance of this group of slaves has made many pirates with bad temperaments salivate.
They knew that the bigwigs of the Whitebeard Pirates and the BIGMOM Pirates couldn't look down on such slaves, so it was time for them to bid.
Starting from the first princess, a total of twenty-two slaves were auctioned a total of seventeen times and all of them were sold, which also made the person in charge of the auction house breathe a sigh of relief, at least there was nothing wrong with this batch of slaves, and they didn't have to lose money.
The next auction was a little flat, and Perospero and Marco and the underground kings all didn't make a move.
It wasn't until the auction house pulled out another rugged-looking man that Perospero's expression became serious.
"The next auction item is a pastry master from the North Sea, he is proficient in all known desserts on the sea, and he is also a superhuman cream fruit ability, so it can be said that he is the One Piece of the pastry master! The starting price is 10 million Baileys, and each bid must not be less than 1 million Baileys!"
The auctioneer set the starting price of the rugged man very high, in fact, the starting price of this man was only 8 million Bailey, but the auctioneer and the person in charge of the auction house knew that Charlotte Perospero would definitely win this man, so they simply set the price a little higher to avoid that no one dared to grab it.
Perospero naturally understood this, but the purpose of his coming this time was for this man, or rather for his craftsmanship and Devil Fruit ability.
The level of dessert manufacturing that is unique in the sea will definitely satisfy his mother after bringing it back, and his Devil Fruit ability is also very suitable for all countries.
"Fifteen million Bailey."
Because at the beginning, Perospero set up an auction house, so in order to avoid the BIGMOM Pirates being listed as unwelcome objects by the underground auction house in the future, Perospero did not mind spending a little more money on this item.
[In view of the general environment,
Like the famous sword, no one competes with Perospero for this pastry master slave, everyone knows that BIGMOM is fond of desserts, and whoever dares to grab it will wait for the BIGMOM Pirates to fully target it.
After the auctioneer dropped the hammer three times, the pastry master was also taken down by Perospero, and it was then that Perospero turned his attention to Marco, who was eager to know what Marco and they were here for.
Soon, the auction went to Adam, the treasure tree that Marco and Titch were concerned about, and this huge Adam branch was large enough to build the keel and most of the hull of the Moby-Dick, and it sold for as much as 500 million Baileys.
After seeing Marco and Titch suddenly come to his senses, Perospero also wondered if to target the Whitebeard Pirates, but he shook his head after the photo of Adam Treasure Tree was taken out.
Taking down Treasure Tree Adam can only be for the sake of shipbuilding, and if it is aimed at the Whitebeard Pirates at this time, it may be a big deal.
After Marco called out 500 million Bailey directly to the bottom of the box with Perospero, the people in the auction hall turned dark again, they didn't expect that the Whitebeard Pirates, who had never made a move, would actually press everyone on this item.
However, fortunately, they raised the auction price of Baoshu Adam by 100 million in advance, otherwise they would really lose their money.
After taking down Adam Tree, Marco and Titch's expressions were noticeably more relaxed, and with this, they were able to build another Moby-Dick.
Although the auction items after Treasure Tree Adam were rare, they were not enough for the two Emperor Pirates to make a move, and it was not until the final axis, the so-called natural Devil Fruit, appeared, that the popularity of the auction increased to the highest.
As one of the most precious treasures on the sea, the price of natural Devil Fruits has always been high, and they are all priceless, I don't know how many people are looking forward to getting a natural Devil Fruit, so as to rise to the top and become a sea thief.
Perospero, the representative of the Underground King, and Marco and Titch all
They all tensed their nerves, and they stared directly at the small plate brought by the auctioneer, and under the red cloth was a rare natural Devil Fruit.
"Thief hahahaha, why do I feel my heart beating so fast!"
Blackbeard covered his chest, he felt that his heart was beating very fast, as if he saw a peerless beauty dancing in front of him, could it be that the dark fruit he had been waiting for for so many years was finally about to appear in front of him!
The auctioneer smiled mysteriously as he watched the agitation of the crowd below, and then he lifted the red cloth from the tray.
"The final axis of this auction, the natural Devil Fruit, the Dark Fruit! The starting price is 500 million Bailey, so please bid!"
Although many people don't know what the Dark Fruit is capable of, it doesn't prevent them from directly raising the price to a terrifying number.
"Billion!"
Perospero put an end to the outbidding of those ordinary pirates, neither this price nor Perospero could surpass it.
Just as Perospero showed a smug smile, a slightly trembling voice came into his ears.
"Eleven billion! Lao Tzu gave 1.1 billion!"
