The woman was smiling. She was accustomed to such scenes and acted with ease.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the annual Siagana Auction. I am Toriolia, the host of this auction..."
Charlotte enjoyed the unique auction very much. At least the organizer understood men.
The atmosphere of the entire auction venue was immediately aroused.
"Next, let's welcome our first exhibit."
A passionate voice and a charming expression, the microphone in the right hand and the left hand raised high, the lights began to flash, and the atmosphere was just right.
The lights soon froze on a bunny girl holding a red cloth tray, causing a surge of adrenaline.
"Shameless!" Lina cursed, her face flushed.
Charlotte smiled and said, "This is a marketing trick to stimulate some customers. Don't worry about it."
"Oh!" Lina curled her lips. She still didn't like the vixen who flirted and seduced men, especially in front of Charlotte.
As the red cloth was lifted, the first exhibit of today's auction was officially unveiled.
"Everyone, this is a super nutrient solution from the New World. After taking it, it can enhance the strength of the body..."
Charlotte's face paled. Why did this thing feel so familiar?
...Could it be?
"Mr. Charlotte, that seems to be a nutrient solution we produce!" Mitis put on a pair of glasses and pushed them up, looking at it carefully.
"Really?" Charlotte looked at Mitis with surprise.
"Yes, it's just a discarded nutrient solution. It's also the kind we sell to the outside world and it's not as exaggerated as it sounds."
Gillian said calmly that she and Yael often discussed drug research and she would not make a mistake. There were some special symbols on it that outsiders could not understand.
This...Charlotte was speechless for a while. He wanted to take some good pictures, and the first one he took was his own property.
"It won't be nothing fun!"
Charlotte thought secretly, but he didn't know that the people outside had already set the auction price at 300 million Baileys.
In the end, it was sold for 1100 million Baileys, which made Charlotte's mouth twitch.
"How much is our selling price?" Charlotte looked at Lina.
"50,000 each, shipped in bulk."
Lina spoke slowly, after all, Lati Island can be mass-produced, and it doesn't seem that precious.
Plus, they are all backward products, but I didn’t expect them to be so popular outside. I still underestimated human’s pursuit of strength!
"Den Den Mushi informed Ivan that the price will be raised by 300,000... no... 500,000 per piece."
Lina nodded. Price increase was a small matter that Ivan could handle with ease.
Charlotte was very satisfied. The development of drug research was truly profitable!
The potential for development is really huge.
Charlotte also had no interest in some of the subsequent auction items. As a powerful pirate, many things seemed ordinary to him.
But he is no longer as short-sighted and embarrassed as he was at the beginning.
"It looks like there's nothing to gain."
Charlotte tilted his head and thought so, just paying money to watch a regular auction in the pirate world.
Suddenly, the host Torriolia spoke loudly into the microphone.
"Today is the last auction item. Everyone, get ready."
With a wave of his hand, the light shone directly onto an independently launched exhibition stand, which looked very solemn.
Following the host Toriolia's movements and expressions, Charlotte became interested. "Could it be that there is really a surprise?"
The moment the red cloth was removed, a fruit with a spiral pattern came into view.
"That's right, everyone. This is the treasure of the ocean, the devil fruit." The female host introduced it excitedly.
"I didn't expect there would be a devil fruit auction?"
Charlotte smiled. She was quite surprised.
"This is a Parahuman-type Mirror-Mirror Fruit!"
Mirror-mirror fruit!
Charlotte was a little surprised. This should be the devil fruit of Charlotte Linlin's daughter Charlotte Brulee.
I didn't expect to see it here. Looks like he's going to steal it again this time.
The ability of this devil fruit is quite practical. It is a rare ability with spatial characteristics.
You can open mirror channels, create mirror spaces, and move freely through the mirror world, with extremely high mobility.
Charlotte's eyes flickered, and he must get this devil fruit.
The auction hall was bustling with people, most of whom were eager to spend money to buy the fruits. Compared to the vast ocean, the number of devil fruits was really pitifully small.
Naturally it attracted much attention.
"Hurry up, don't waste time, start the auction!"
"My wallet is thirsty!"
"Our Bang Bang Ying Pirates are determined to win!"
……
Facing the emotional parties, host Toriolia smiled.
"Parahuman-type Mirror-Mirror Fruit, starting price: 500 Berries, each bid must not be less than 000 million Berries."
In an instant, all the unknown pirate groups that had been clamoring just now stopped their movements. 5 million Baileys is definitely an astronomical figure in this era.
Even in the New World, many weak pirate groups only have a few hundred or tens of millions of Baileys in liquid funds, and some even have only a few hundred thousand Baileys.
You can imagine how huge a fortune this is.
"Five hundred and ten million Baileys!"
A middle-aged man in the upper-level private room spoke loudly through a loudspeaker.
Instantly, the atmosphere of the whole audience was aroused, and the bids came one after another, and soon reached 650 million Baileys.
Charlotte saw this and knew that if he continued to do this little by little, he would never know where the problem would end, so he cut the Gordian knot.
"A billion Baileys!"
After the voice fell, the auction hall fell silent for a moment, and the price was directly raised to 350 million Baileys.
This is truly amazing.
Even the auction host, Toriolia, was frightened and her beautiful eyes were shining.
"One billion and fifty million Baileys!"
The king of usury, Du Field, had a gloomy look on his face in the box.
Charlotte had a blank expression on his face. In terms of financial resources, his Heberfil family was still very powerful.
"Fifteen billion!"
As soon as the words fell, the entire auction hall fell into complete silence. This huge sum of money could be taken out easily.
The identities of Charlotte and others caused much speculation for a while.
Du Field did not continue to raise the price because he felt the other party's calm tone.
It's so hateful. He originally planned to buy this devil fruit and give it to Charlotte Linlin with the intention of opening up a new situation in the new world.
I didn't expect this result.
There was a chill in his eyes. Sometimes having money does not mean having strength.
It was obvious that Charlotte won this precious parahuman devil fruit with absolute advantage and without any dispute.
I hope everyone will support me by subscribing, commenting on chapters, voting, and following my reading. Also, if you have any specialties or devil fruits you are interested in, you can leave a message. Thank you.
Chapter 173 I can’t bear to see it. I can’t bear to see it at all.
The calm sea is not calm at all.
Several insane pirate ships were following behind the Heberfil.
“Greed is the biggest crisis!”
Charlotte's tone was indifferent, as if she was making a statement and also giving a warning.
The Heberfil deliberately increased its speed and waited for the fish to take the bait, but as expected, its brain was already filled with greed.
After a while.
Several pirate groups sank to the bottom of the sea along with their empty dreams. No one would know of their existence anymore, except their families whose presence or absence they didn't know yet.
Then the Heberfield quickly disappeared on the sea, and in the telescope in the distance, Du Field's fat face was covered with cold sweat.
He finally knew who this group of people were, the Heberfell family.
A powerful force emerging in the new world.
Du Field quickly ordered a retreat.
"Boss, let's not chase him anymore!" a younger brother said with a look of surprise.
"Chase after him."
With a scolding, he drove away in the boat without looking back.
The forces that can occupy territory and develop stably in the New World are not something he can afford to offend.
And behind them is the Flying Pirates.
"The ship in the distance didn't catch up. It left!"
Barrett was a little surprised. They had locked onto the ship since it appeared, but he didn't expect them to be so cautious.
