Two weeks later.
The island prospered in the first half of the Grand Line.
In auction on commercial street.
Auctions of various luxury items were taking place at this time.
"The items that will be auctioned next will attract everyone's attention!"
A striking-looking man held the microphone and stirred up the atmosphere enthusiastically.
I saw a servant carrying a wooden tray covered in red cloth and putting it on the auction stage.
Under the curious gazes of everyone in the auditorium where the auction was.
The auction host opened the red cloth.
I saw a strange fruit with a unique pattern lying still in it.
"It's a rare treasure in the sea, Devil Fruit!"
Following the voice of the auction host, the fruit fell.
All the spectators were excited too.
"It turns out it's a Devil Fruit!"
"That's right! I don't really believe the rumors that there will be a Devil Fruit-like treasure at this auction, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
"This is a treasure worth over 100 million Berry! I didn't expect to see her my whole life!"
The host on the auction stage saw that everyone in the auditorium was looking at the Devil Fruit on the stage enthusiastically.
He also smiled proudly.
This auction was run by a great power in the underground world.
And the auction just finished.
To become famous.
The owner had put forth a lot of effort to obtain this Devil Fruit.
"It's not clear what kind of fruit this Devil Fruit is. Maybe Zoan, maybe Paramecia, or maybe even Logia!"
Following the directions of the host, everyone's heart grew even more passionate.
Compared to the Four Seas, the people in the first half of the Grand Line had a clearer understanding of Devil Fruits.
This was the area where the projected strength of the Naval Headquarters was strongest.
Rumor has it that the three monsters of the Navy, the Vice Admiral, all have Logia abilities.
So the people here generally connect Logia with extraordinary powers.
If you can buy the Logia here, your status will soar in an instant.
The host was also very happy to see the eyes of the people under the stage sparkling.
In fact, this Devil Fruit has been identified, and is an ordinary Zoan golden monkey.
Although it could not be said to be bad, it was almost meaningless to excite everyone.
In addition, Devil Fruits also have side effects.
Side effects such as inability to swim and inability to touch the sea.
Those who can afford it may not be so enthusiastic.
So, if it hasn't been identified, then everyone must have hope.
"Don't talk nonsense, the starting price of this Devil Fruit is 100 million Berry, and every time the bid is raised by no less than 1 million Berry, start now!"
When the host's voice came down.
The people present became silent for a moment, then began to compete in the bidding with vigor.
"One hundred and twenty million Berry"
"123 million Berry"
"Two hundred and twenty million Berry"
As the price rises to this point, it gradually stagnates.
After all, for the uninitiated, it was difficult to determine what ability this unknown fruit possessed.
If you actually spent a lot of money to buy it and find out that it is a mediocre ability, I'm afraid you'll feel disappointed.
And there were pirates in the auditorium who showed their rigid faces.
The people here are very rich. There were many nobles and wealthy people from the country on this island who attended this auction.
Even the Marines came because of it.
As pirates, the money they plundered was always spent lavishly.
Even this pirate captain had trouble saving so many Berry.
If not for the strong background of this auction house, the Marines would not even have been invited to the scene.
These lawless robbers are already beginning to unsettle.
"300 million berries"
The sound was heard from the corner of the auditorium.
Everyone looked up when they heard the price.
"he is……"
Currently, cold sweat was flowing from one's forehead.
"Ryomen Sukuna The blood killer of pirate supernovas, bidding for 310 million Berry! He is, he is here!"
A pirate gulped down his saliva, and said in shock.
Those who kill with blood live on both sides.
The newspaper published two weeks ago made it known around the world for the first time.
But that's not all.
In just two weeks, he had directly attacked the royal palace alone.
Even the Rear Admiral of the Naval Headquarters and his fleet who came to the rescue was easily defeated.
The amount of the reward instantly doubled.
From 48 million Berry to 85 million Berry.
It then rapidly increased to 310 million berries.
It was quickly spread by the Daily News Economic at an incredible pace.
In the world view, he was a very cruel and unlawful representative of pirates.
Continuous attacks on the royal palaces of such allied nations are rare.
The World Government was stymied by the demands of joining the king's family, and they themselves would not allow such robbers to simply break the law.
After all, if not dealt with quickly, it would be an example for other pirates.
This was something that the World government would never allow. As long as one dared to do so, there would be an extremely powerful counterattack.
But the man in front of them did just that.
Whether it was because of his pride or his natural evil, others did not know.
They could only look at him in amazement.
