Chapter 695 The final lot
In order to avoid the mysterious man who coveted the Mirror-Mirror Fruit behind him, Katakuri could only wait until the auction was over and when all the people who had bought things went backstage to check out, he would take advantage of the chaos to give his sister a bite of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit.
Another reason is that he hopes that the third devil fruit will be favored by this person and thus divert his attention.
After that, several items were put on stage in turn, including top-quality jewelry, a large knife with excellent craftsmanship, a groundbreaking technological product, and two slaves of a rare species!
Vic also paid a high price to buy one of the items. He would also get involved in raising the price of other items to the highest before giving up. Anyway, his Thunder Fruit ability was very strong and he also had the Observation Haki that could foresee the future. He knew exactly at what price others would give up, so he was not afraid at all.
And even if he really took the picture of the item, it wouldn’t matter because he had no intention of paying for it, and he had to take the item away.
He just wanted more people to go backstage to pay the bill. It didn't matter even if his real identity was known. He was one of the Shichibukai and had the legal right to plunder. Even if he plundered another Shichibukai, so what? He didn't break the rules, and the Five Elders and the navy had nothing to say.
There is a high probability that Doflamingo will suffer in silence, and at most he will complain to the Five Elders, but will the Five Elders ask Vic to return the things on Doflamingo's behalf?
Even if Mingge's family hadn't given up their Celestial Dragon status, they wouldn't have had such a big face, let alone now that they were no longer Celestial Dragons. How could he know the complicated relationship between the Five Elders and Vic? As long as they could maintain harmony on the surface, the Five Elders wouldn't provoke Vic!
Vic was just afraid that if the fact that he came here with Dragon was exposed, it would be difficult to maintain an overt relationship with the World Government. Even if the Five Elders were wary of him, they would not tolerate him having any dealings with the Revolutionary Army.
As long as you are a pure pirate, I can tolerate you robbing allied countries and the Five Elders of the Navy. But you can't tolerate it if you side with the Revolutionary Army. They are trying to undermine the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. They are the real enemies that will destroy their foundation!
By then, there will inevitably be a fallout, and Victor will no longer be able to be one of the Shichibukai. This is the only thing Victor cares about now. Now is not the time to confront the World Government. He still needs this identity to develop himself and his own power.
“Today’s auction has come to an end. Thank you all for your support. There is only one lot left. I will take up a little more of your time!
Maybe you have guessed what the finale item is. You are not wrong. The final item is indeed the secret treasure of the sea, the devil fruit. Bring the great secret treasure to the stage!"
The auction soon came to an end. Even though many people were not satisfied with some of the previous items, they still waited for the last item.
It was indeed a devil fruit as they guessed. Even if it was not a devil fruit, it would definitely be something more valuable than a devil fruit. The finale could not be ordinary, so the people in the audience were still willing to wait.
"The last lot is also a space-type superhuman devil fruit, called the Piercing Fruit.
This is a devil fruit that has the ability to travel through all non-living things. All obstacles do not exist in front of it. As long as you eat this devil fruit, you can now lead people directly across the red earth continent into the new world!
As long as there is enough food, you can even live in the Red Earth Continent. If you can develop this devil fruit to awakening, you can even have the ability to travel through space. It will be very simple and quick to get from here to the Four Seas or the New World!
The future of this devil fruit is even higher than the Mirror-Mirror Fruit. Of course, this requires you to develop it to the awakened state. Before awakening, each has its own advantages. It depends on how the ability user uses it. The starting price is still 1 million Baileys. Bidding starts now!"
"1 billion Baileys!"
"2 billion Baileys!"
"2 million Baileys!"
"3 billion Baileys!"
......
When the host mentioned this devil fruit, only Vic's eyes changed a little, and he looked deeply at Tesoro in front of him.
The Lucky Fruit, Bakara, and the Pierce Fruit will all belong to Tesoro from now on. Vic didn't expect that these all came from this auction. Fortunately, the masochist who fought with Zoro and the big-headed Tanaka Tensei were not among the previous slaves, otherwise Tesoro's family would be complete.
After the host introduced the last devil fruit, Katakuri breathed a sigh of relief, because this devil fruit actually had the same ability as the Mirror-Mirror Fruit. It seemed that his choice to wait was indeed right.
If the mysterious man behind is interested in the space-travelling ability of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, then this devil fruit might be able to divert his attention, and the Mirror-Mirror Fruit he bought would be much safer. Now it depends on that person's attitude towards the Pierce-Pierce Fruit.
"Vic! Look..."
"As usual!"
The price of the Pierce-Pierce Fruit is similar to that of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, except that there is no satisfied Katakuri. Blackbeard is completely disappointed and sits there dejected.
Dragon joined in again with full of fighting spirit, and this time Saint Rozwald was even more excited. The Mirror-Mirror Fruit can only be used to peek through a mirror, and not every room has a mirror.
But this Piercing Fruit can directly lie on the ceiling and peek down, hide in the wall and peek, and even pass through the wall to kiss someone else's wife. If discovered by someone else's husband, he can quietly leave through the soil and rocks under his feet. This is a necessary ability for stealing at home and traveling! It makes him more addicted than the Mirror-Mirror Fruit.
Saint Rozwald was already imagining which celestial dragon's wife he should steal first after eating this devil fruit. The thought of it was so exciting that he couldn't help but blush.
If anyone pays attention to this Celestial Dragon family of three, they will find that the father and daughter sitting next to each other have flushed faces, and they might even imagine some 18+ exciting plots!
"5 billion Baileys!"
"6 billion Baileys!"
At this price, most of the nobles have given up bidding. Everyone knows that devil fruits are in great demand and the price will not be low, so the bids are not as stingy as they were at the beginning. Now the bids are going up by 1 million Baileys.
"7 billion Baileys!"
"8 billion Baileys!"
When the price reached this point, the underground forces and Quinn also gave up the bidding, and there were not many people left to bid.
"9 billion Baileys!"
"10 billion Baileys!"
"Vic! Here we are..."
"As usual!"
"One billion and five thousand Baileys!"
"11 billion Baileys!"
......
When it came to 10 billion, Beli Dorag was stuck again. He really couldn't stand up straight without money. After the auction, he asked Vic for money several times. Even a man like Dorag felt embarrassed.
Fortunately, Vic was there to support him, but after the price reached 1 billion, no one kept raising the price by 100 million, because many people withdrew from the bidding, and the result was not far from being announced.
"14 billion Baileys!"
"14 million Baileys!"
"15 billion Baileys!"
......
"Vic, it's time again..."
"As usual!"
"16 billion Baileys!"
"16 million Baileys!"
"16 million Baileys!"
......
Only Tesoro, Rosward Saint and Dragon are left in the bidding. Katakuri finally feels relieved when he sees that Dragon is getting excited again!
