Chapter 273: Bidding
Slave auction stage.
Lindsey and Klockdahl leave briefly.
At the same time, Tezzolo was given a leaflet that recorded the price of the slave auction.
The gray-green haired man muttered as he looked at the price on the leaflet.
"Humanity - 500,000 Berry;"
"Lilliputians - 700,000 Berry;"
"Mink - 700,000 Berry;"
"The Long-Hand - 700,000 Berry;"
ββ¦β¦β
"Fish-Man - 1,000,000 Berry;"
"Giants (male) - 50 million Berry;"
ββ¦β¦β
"Haha......"
Seeing the end, Tezzolo was speechless and couldn't help but laugh helplessly.
Seeing this, a wealthy businessman on the side immediately came over.
The wealthy merchant was in a good mood, so he familiarly asked, "Little brother, what are you laughing at?" β
"No, nothing ......"
Tezzolo hated the rich, but he didn't do anything bad because of his impulses.
He said casually: "I was just thinking, the price of 'people' is really 'cheap'......"
"Hey, hey, of course!"
The rich merchant did not hear Tezzolo's voice, but exchanged ideas with him.
"After all, the price is very good!"
The rich merchant pinched his mustache and explained with a grin:
"Such a cheap slave can only be seen in the Chambord Islands!"
"It's a pity that there is no current price of Devil Fruit ability."
"But little brother, don't consume too much now, there will be real treasures in a while!"
"For example, those four Devil Fruits......"
ββ¦β¦β
The rich businessman began to speak, and he talked endlessly.
From the slave trade in the Chambord Islands, the value of the existence of "slaves" is discussed.
"You know what? At first, I also thought that the existence of 'slaves' was excessive. β
The rich man poked Tezzolo with his elbow.
"Little brother, you want to."
"How terrible it is that one day suddenly you become a slave!"
"But when I really got in touch with those slave traders, I realized that the slave trade is also one of the rules on this sea."
The wealthy merchant explained:
"The so-called 'slaves' are a group of criminals, as well as nationals of countries that are not members of the world government."
"The existence of this group of people is in itself a huge destabilizing factor, and it is good for us to be slaves!"
"From that point of view, I don't hate the slave trade that much anymore."
ββ¦β¦β
The rich merchant said here.
He didn't notice that Tezzolo's face was getting more and more gloomy, and he was about to do it!
And at this moment, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
The rich merchant turned his head to look, but only saw a hand, which was "snapped" at his face.
Syllable!
The rich businessman was slapped in the face.
When he covered his face and screamed in pain, another fist appeared on the back in front of him, and it was a punch aimed at his abdomen.
Bang!
Suddenly, the rich merchant clutched his stomach and fell to the ground.
After barely relieving himself, he immediately shouted "Hell" and ran away without a trace.
ββ¦β¦β
"Thank you, Miss Robin."
Tezzolo turned his head and thanked Nicole Robin, who had just made the move.
Robin nodded slightly, signaling Tezzolo not to care.
Tezzolo also let out a long breath, put aside the slave bid list, and quietly watched as the auction continued.
Not long after, the auction also entered the next stage.
ββ¦β¦β
"Guys, long-waiting!"
With a shout from the host, four Devil Fruits were brought up by the guards.
Among the people at the scene, there are many people with Devil Fruit abilities, or people who are already strong.
So just for a moment, they directly determined one thing-
Those four Devil Fruits are genuine!
You can't go wrong!
The power contained in it even made some people come up with the idea of "snatching", but it was quickly suppressed.
The reason is simple.
Now the powerhouses in the entire auction hall are paying attention to these four devil fruits.
Not to mention snatching it directly, even if you buy it on the spot, it is unknown whether you can successfully bring out Dressrosa!
β¦β¦
Robin, Uta, and Tezzolo sat in the same place, but their reactions were different.
Uta and Robin are already Devil Fruit powers, and it is impossible for them to eat the second Devil Fruit.
Therefore, from those four Devil Fruits, all they felt was "hostility".
"Is it because of the Golden Lion and Anilu?"
Robin's brow furrowed, and he couldn't even breathe.
"The abilities of the former enemy have once again appeared in front of us......"
"It's better to say it's 'resentment.'"
Uta spoke, grinning and adding, "The Devil Fruit itself also has a 'melody'!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Compared to the two little girls, Tezzolo's performance was completely different.
He stared blankly at the four devil fruits, saliva unconsciously flowing from the corners of his mouth.
"I ......"
Taken together, the presence of the four Devil Fruits is so strong that it transcends "Destiny" itself!
In that possible future, Tezzolo is the one who eats the "golden fruit"!
And now, the destined fruit is at hand.
Tezzolo was just one kick away from having the power he had always craved!
"That's it...... Devil Fruits? β
"Indeed."
Two figures returned to their seats.
Lindsay even patted Tezzolo on the shoulder, signaling him not to get too excited.
Maybe it's psychological, or maybe Lindsay and Klockdahl are too strong to fight the four Devil Fruits.
All in all, the effects of the Devil Fruit subsided for the time being, and everyone was able to regroup their minds.
β¦β¦
"Ladies and gentlemen, most of you must have come here for this."
"Then let's not talk too much, the auction has officially begun!"
The host held the microphone and shouted loudly: "The starting price of a Devil Fruit is 100 million Bailey, and the total price is 400 million Bailey!" β
"You can use the button next to your seat to place your own bets, please do what you can!"
ββ¦β¦β
With the host's order, the main event kicked off.
Many powerful people have bidd, and the "400 million berry" at the floor price has been constantly refreshed!
One thing to say, "100 million berry" is nothing more than the price of an ordinary Devil Fruit.
Whether it is "natural" or the rumored "fruit of surgery", its value far exceeds this price.
The organizers set the price so low, perhaps because they had other intentions, or simply for the super hot atmosphere.
All in all, the price quickly came to three billion berry!
At this point, the pace of bidding is much slower.
What is the concept of three billion berry?
For an ordinary small country, it is enough to support the heavenly gold payment for several years!
The person who can come up with three billion Berry in one go has far more financial resources than the ordinary small franchise royal family!
Soon, the list price came to five billion berry.
At this point, everyone's bidding has finally slowed down.
It's not just that the value of the four Devil Fruits is limited to that, but that's all the money that can be mobilized immediately!
So, at Lindsay's suggestion, Uta joined the bidding.
5.5 billion berry;
Fifty-six;
Fifty-nine;
Sixty!
Six billion berry!
At this point, Uta gave all the previous income, and the price was stagnant at that number.
The host was already dumbfounded.
He has presided over countless auctions, and today's one will probably be remembered by him for a lifetime.
"Six Billion Berry at a Time!"
"Six Billion Berry Twice!"
"Six billion Berryβ"
Just when everyone thought that everything was about to settle, a group of people suddenly appeared in the center of the arena.
Surrounded by the guards, the leader raised his hands and excitedly shouted a number.
"Ten Billion Berry!"
"Hey, hey, hey! I'll give 10 billion berry! β
β¦β¦
Who is the bidder?
It's a Draconian.
