Chapter 697 Accident
With Vic backing him up, the host felt a little embarrassed and stopped talking. He just stared at those people in the venue who had bid and bought things before.
Although Katakuri was very anxious, the mysterious man he was on guard against before had already taken the last devil fruit and now left directly, which made him relax a lot, so he took his sister Brulee to line up in the middle of the team.
When the team arrived backstage, they split into two teams. One team went to the cage area where the slaves were held to complete the transaction, and the other team went down the stairs to the underground backstage, where there was a treasury for storing precious items. All items except slaves were stored in this treasury.
The defense here is very sufficient, with dozens of strong men guarding here. The treasure house is also made of some kind of black metal, which is extremely strong and not afraid of strong attacks.
Moreover, it takes several people taking turns to open the treasure house, and finally the host uses the key to open the door and take out the items to complete the transaction.
Tesoro not only took a picture of the beautiful slave Bakara, but also a devil fruit. He needed to run between the two places, but Tesoro chose to come to the treasury first. His heart had begun to be corrupted by money and power!
But Xia Lulia had already left her father and brother behind and couldn't wait to meet Grandpa Rayleigh. She was controlled by desire.
Vic was neither at the front nor at the back of the line. In front of the line there was a counter-like facility blocking the line from the treasure house. Above the counter were metal fences, which were made of the same metal as the treasure house. The spacing between them was very small, and most people could not get through.
There was only a small transaction window left on the counter, and a row of strong men stood inside and outside the counter to ensure the normal progress of the transaction.
Anyway, all the necessary precautions have been taken in the treasury. If someone still manages to snatch or steal something, there will be nothing we can do. Doflamingo cannot be here in person. We are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid of thieves thinking about it. As long as someone is thinking about it, no matter how good the defense is, it will be useless. This is a world with all kinds of magical fruit powers!
Tesoro hesitated for a moment whether to get the devil fruit first or to redeem Bakara first, so after making up his mind he could only line up at the end of the team. He was not very anxious, because Doflamingo was still very powerful, and those who dared to make trouble were only a minority, and he didn't think he would encounter one of them.
At the entrance of the treasure house in front, internal personnel, each of whom mastered a method of unlocking, were stepping forward one by one to unlock the metal door, and the people queuing in front were waiting for this necessary process.
Just as the host stepped forward to perform the last step, the man shrouded in black robe in the middle of the team suddenly turned around. Everyone behind him looked at the mysterious man who suddenly turned around in surprise.
The same was true for Tezoro at the back of the team. Like everyone else, he couldn't see the face under the hood at all, but he could feel that the eyes under the shadow of the hood were looking at him!
The mysterious man turned around just for him? Not knowing what the man in black robe wanted to do, Tezulo also stared at the mysterious man in front of him, and then a familiar voice sounded in his mind.
"I'll be waiting for you at the beach in area 50!"
The voice was exactly the same voice that spoke in his mind when the treasure map was auctioned before. Tezoro had been guessing who the person who spoke was at the front desk, but he didn't expect it to be the mysterious man in front of him!
But before he had time to think about it, an invisible force acted on him. He tried to resist but it was of no use, like a rootless duckweed. Moreover, all the people in the queue in front of him were scattered by this force!
Two of them bumped into him directly. When his face turned pale and he struggled to support his body, the only one standing in front of him was the man in black robe. Even Katakuri, the leader of the Four Emperors Big Mom Pirate Group, flew to the side and knocked down some facilities.
Not to mention the others, the Celestial Dragons Charlos and Rozward had already hit their heads against the wall and fainted. Even the agents who wanted to be their cushions were unable to control their bodies.
Everyone was lying on the ground looking at the mysterious man in black robe in astonishment. Except for the father and son of the Tianlong people who were deliberately targeted, no one else suffered any substantial harm. They were just bounced away by the invisible force, so they could still lie on the ground and watch the excitement.
They saw the mysterious man look around, then jump and stand on the counter blocking the treasure house. Everyone could probably guess what he was going to do, but could this man break through such a solid defense?
Only Tesoro and Katakuri believed that this person could do it. Katakuri thought that he was not weak, but he had no ability to resist the domineering display of this person just now. This person was too strong! In this person's eyes, what was Doflamingo? What about the obstacles in front of him?
If he hadn't been waiting for the host to open the last shackles, this person would have probably launched an attack long ago. Although Katakuri did have this worry before, he was worried about Dragon. Later, after Dragon took the Piercing Fruit, he no longer had any worries!
But now he is no longer worried, but disappointed. He has been thinking about the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, but he knows that he cannot beat the mysterious man in front of him. He has no resistance with just one domineering aura. Is there any need to fight? Is it possible that the devil fruit that he has been thinking about for a long time will not be given to Brulee?
……
The mysterious man in black robe stretched out his hands and grabbed the two metal railings and pulled them to both sides. The metal railings bent to both sides without any hesitation. Then the man quickly passed through the curved gap between the railings and entered the treasure house in a flash. Then the door was closed again from the inside.
He shook everyone off, opened the railing, jumped into the treasury, and closed the door. The mysterious man in black robe moved in one go without any delay. Although it seemed like a lot of movements, they happened so quickly that before anyone could react, his figure had already disappeared in the treasury.
"Damn it! Someone wants to rob me. They really don't know how to live or die! These two people who hide their heads and show their tails really have evil intentions!
Go and call over the extra guards at the auction house, and you guys can reopen the door. This guy is so stupid that he locked himself in the treasure house. Isn't this a trap for us?"
After Vic closed the metal door, the host instinctively ran forward and slapped the tall metal door several times. The recoil force transmitted from his hands made him sober up a little, and he quickly arranged for someone to call the remaining security forces of the auction hall.
After saying this, he quickly took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed a number. He believed that the mysterious man had locked him in the treasure house and he would not be able to escape for a while.
Katakuri and Tesoro don't think so. They both think that the host is too anxious. There are Mirror-Mirror Fruit and Pierce-Pierce Fruit in the treasure house. These two devil fruits have the ability to escape directly. It is enough for this person to eat one of the devil fruits.
The effect of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit in the treasury may be a little less effective, but as long as there is a mirror made of gold or a mirror with a gold exterior in the treasury, it will not be difficult to leave. Even gold that can reflect a person's face is enough to leave. The Piercing-Piercing Fruit is even easier. This metal treasury cannot trap the user of the Piercing-Piercing Fruit at all.
And not to mention that the mysterious man himself is a person with special abilities and cannot eat these two devil fruits. His own strength is enough to defeat the enemy. Even if the host calls Doflamingo, it will be useless. The strong man just needs to wait for the door of the treasury to open.
