Chapter 440 Auction (Part )
At eight o'clock in the evening, the auction in Dawn City was about to begin, and the leaders of various major forces arrived at the auction venue early.
The auction hall can accommodate two thousand people, but it is far from enough for the major forces that come here.
For this reason, the Adrian Kingdom’s auction was also broadcast live, so even those who did not have the opportunity to enter had the right to watch.
The auction venue is a huge palace with luxurious interior decoration. In addition to the general audience seats, there are also many boxes specially provided to major forces.
Of course, anyone or any force that can enter the auction house must have at least 40 million Baileys as a guarantee. People without money cannot enter at all.
At around 8:30, the auction hall was already full and everyone was waiting for the auction to begin.
Accompanied by the sound of crisp footsteps, Tezoro, wearing a pink suit, sunglasses, long green hair, and countless gold ornaments all over his body, walked out from the backstage.
As the Finance Minister of the Kingdom of Adrian, it is more than qualified for Tezoro to host the auction.
Moreover, as the user of the Gold-Gold Fruit, his personal temperament complements the auction.
"Welcome everyone to this auction. I am the auctioneer, Gild Tezzolo.
Without further ado, let's get down to business and take a look at the first lot."
Tezoro waved his hand, and a booth suddenly rose in the center of the stage.
In the middle of the booth, a silver devil fruit was quietly placed in a glass display case.
"Metahuman-Silver Fruit. The user has the ability to control silver and can sense the silver underground. It is of great significance to the development of a power. Starting price is one berry."
The first auction item was a powerful parahuman devil fruit, and the starting price was just one berry.
But soon someone realized that the people on the field came from different forces and it was impossible for them to give each other face.
One pound is just the beginning; soon the price will rise to its original value, and then exceed its original value.
However, what the sea lacks the least is some simple guys.
Although everyone who can come to the Kingdom of Adrian has an invitation, there are always some lucky guys who get the invitation by accident.
The first time they left the Four Seas, they only wanted to gain some benefits in the Kingdom of Adrian before heading to the Grand Line.
"Three thousand Baileys!"
The first bidder appeared, but was quickly drowned out by the wave of bids.
"A typical devil fruit is worth 100 million, and someone actually thinks they can buy a silver fruit for 30 million berries? I'll give you 110 million berries!"
But soon, higher prices emerged.
"One hundred and thirty million Baileys!"
"One hundred and thirty-five million Baileys!"
"One hundred and forty million Baileys!"
Just as everyone in the auction hall was bidding fiercely, a dull voice came from the box.
"Twenty million Baileys!"
The auction hall fell silent, and only those sitting in the audience looked back and found that the man in the box was wearing a green cloak, making it impossible to see his facial expression.
However, those powerful people have already recognized who the bidder is, and that is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon.
Although the Revolutionary Army did not send anyone to participate in the martial arts tournament, it does not mean that no one from the Revolutionary Army came.
The Silver Fruit, a devil fruit that can bring continuous benefits, is extremely important to the Revolutionary Army.
Despite Zell's financial support, the revolutionary army still couldn't escape poverty.
Moreover, if a force does not have its own source of funds, it will be controlled by others. The most typical example is the navy.
As soon as Dorag made his offer, no one followed suit and raised the price.
First, it's not worth it, and second, I don't want to offend the revolutionary army, a terrorist organization.
That’s right, the revolutionary army’s current identity is like a terrorist organization, liberating revolution everywhere.
The silver fruit fell into Dorag's hands and the auction continued.
The second auction item was not just one, but a group.
When the booth rose again, containers of various styles were displayed before everyone.
Most of them are backpacks, and others include gourds, vases, cups, etc.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the second auction item is the space container set.
Are you still worried about purchasing? Are you still worried about the lack of space in your carry-on bag? Are you still worried about where to put your travel supplies?
With the space container set, you will no longer have to worry about carrying too many things. Each container has a volume of 100 cubic meters, which can solve all your worries.
Starting price: one Bailey!
As soon as Tesoro finished his introduction, the venue immediately became lively.
Compared to devil fruits, this kind of high-tech product is what all major forces need.
If you can crack the secret, then it will be a sustainable way to make money.
"Fifty million Baileys!"
"Seventy million Baileys!"
"One hundred and thirty million Baileys!"
Prices have been climbing higher and there is no sign of them stopping.
Except for the Whitebeard Pirates who are not interested in this kind of thing, the other two major royal groups, the Navy, the Revolutionary Army and a number of underground forces are particularly interested.
After a struggle, the auction price was fixed at 400 million berries, which was won by the Navy.
Although Xi Hai cannot contact the outside world, He still understands the importance of space technology to the navy.
Zhan Guo gave all his property to He to manage, which meant letting her decide for herself.
Soon, the third auction item appeared.
The item auctioned this time was rather ordinary, just an ordinary sharp sword, but it still sold for a high price of 80 million berries.
The first two auction items were intended to liven up the atmosphere of the auction, but the remaining auction items would not reach the prices of the first two.
But this is normal, everyone is just looking forward to the finale of the auction.
Among them, the types of auction items are also diverse, including various common animal-type devil fruits, many perfumes that are unique to the Kingdom of Adrian, and various gems.
Of course, every time a few ordinary auction items are auctioned, a parahuman devil fruit will appear.
However, those devil fruits do not greatly improve combat power, and are mostly used in life, such as the Spicy Fruit, the Bitter Fruit, the Sniff Fruit, etc.
These devil fruits are not very attractive to ordinary people, but they are treasures to certain people.
Almost all the animal-type devil fruits were captured by the Beasts Pirates, while the devil fruits related to food were captured by the Big Mom Pirates.
After a two-hour auction, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates suddenly discovered that they were the poorest of the four emperor-class pirate groups.
After the auction, they only spent 80 million Baileys to buy a good sharp knife.
