Chapter 698 Dumb loss
"Master! Something happened!"
......
"Well! Listen to me, everything went smoothly at the beginning of today's auction, and the bids were much higher than before. But just at the payment stage, a mysterious man in a black robe attacked me the moment I opened the door to the treasury. He knocked everyone away and then forcibly pulled open the railing made of special metal..."
......
"Yes! It seemed effortless, and then... yes, that person entered the treasury at an incredibly fast speed. We had no time to stop him, and then he closed the door from the inside. I am now asking them to unlock it and capture that person!"
......
"What? Can't open? Why?"
......
"We can't defeat them? Then what should we do? Will you come here in person?"
......
"Lord Rao G. is in charge of today's auction items. Don't you know what they are?"
......
"It's the Lucky Fruit, the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, and the Pierce-Pierce Fruit!"
......
"Not opening? No need to wait for you to come?"
......
"Yes, I understand! Don't open the lock yet!"
As expected, the host was calling Doflamingo. Although I don’t know what Doflamingo said, I can guess roughly from the host’s words.
Doflamingo also has self-knowledge. After learning about the devil fruit in the treasury, he seems to have given up on the robbers. Is he going to suffer in silence? Or does he know that the people in the treasury can use the power of the fruit to leave at any time so he doesn't want to make this trip?
"Dear guests, just now you saw a thief break into the treasure house where your auction items are stored. This person is very powerful. So in order to prevent him from coming out to hurt everyone, our boss behind the scenes decided not to open the treasure house for now. We will open the door after a while when the thief starves to death inside.
If you really like what you bought today, you can still buy the items at today's price after the treasure house is opened. If you can't make it in time, we will re-auction the items. So sorry, you can't take the items away today. Please pay more attention to the information posted by our auction house!"
Starving the mysterious man to death is of course the best outcome, but this outcome will only occur if the mysterious man was already a person with special abilities.
But looking at that person's performance, he didn't seem like a person with special abilities. He didn't use his abilities at all. The move that blew everyone away was also the effect of the external release of his armed color domineering.
Moreover, that person closed the door as soon as he entered the treasury. This was definitely not done to prevent others from entering and causing trouble. If this person was really a capable person, he would definitely not cut off his own retreat!
After grabbing what you want, you can just use your powerful strength to break out. There is no need to lock yourself in. Unless this person is powerful enough to destroy the treasure house, then you don't have to worry about being locked up in.
Apart from this, there is only one possibility. This person is going for the devil fruit, and then he can use the devil fruit to leave the treasury quietly. So Doflamingo knows that the situation is probably impossible, so he simply does not open the door and leaves a hope!
The one who feels the most uncomfortable is of course Katakuri. He is only one step away from the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, but this one step always turns into thousands of mountains and rivers blocking him. Even if the mysterious man is not going for the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, that person will not miss this valuable devil fruit as long as he can leave, so this trip must be in vain!
The person standing behind Katakuri is the host. Today's work was in vain, his bonus was gone, and something went wrong. Even if it was not his responsibility, he still could not avoid being implicated by this matter, and it would definitely have an impact on him.
Tezoro was fine. Although he really wanted to get the lucky fruit, he was a little unhappy that the transaction could not be completed. But who could blame the mysterious man for leaving him a message before he attacked?
The man had good intentions towards him, and he would have another chance to get the lucky fruit whenever the two met, so he was not completely hopeless. The other customers were even less worried, because they hadn't paid yet and had no loss, and they got to watch a good show. It was worth it!
Tesoro was the first to leave. He still had to go to the slave area to pay for Bakara. When he arrived at the slave area, he saw the female celestial dragon with soap bubbles on her head leading the old man with white hair and glasses away!
After the three of them passed each other, Tesoro curled his lips and said "Pah". In his eyes, this female Celestial Dragon only wanted a man and not her brother and father. His brother and father were still fainted there, but this woman only cared about her own happiness. She was still an old man like that. She really didn't care about meat or vegetables!
......
Of course, Vic doesn't need to use the Mirror-Mirror Fruit and the Pierce-Pierce Fruit to leave the treasure house, nor does he need to rely on powerful strength to leave here. The elementalization of the Thunder Fruit can allow him to quietly leave through the walls of this metal treasure house!
Everyone who knows that metals are conductive knows that he did not use the power of his fruit to enter the treasury, and he closed the door of the treasury directly after entering. He did this simply because he did not want to reveal his identity.
There are only two things he needs to do now, lie dormant and become stronger. Lying dormant requires keeping a low profile. Even if he can defeat everyone with his strength, he does not necessarily have to do so. People have brains, and they must use them and not leave them idle.
Moreover, Vic also has a dimension where he can take away everything. When Doflamingo opens the treasury and sees the empty treasury where even thieves would leave something behind in tears, his suspicion will definitely be firmly fixed on those who use the power of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit or the Piercing-Piercing Fruit.
The treasury was intact and nothing inside was left. He wouldn't believe it if someone else did it. Of course, Bruno, the user of the Door-Door Fruit of CP9, could also do it.
But if Bruno really wanted to do this, he wouldn't have to choose this time. He could just choose a quiet night and open the door from the outside to enter the treasury, and take away the things inside without alerting anyone.
Another thing is that Bruno is not that strong. How can someone who doesn't even know how to use Haki show off his Haki? And if Doflamingo really wants to doubt Bruno, it won't be a bad thing for Vic. The more people he suspects, the better.
When Vic took all the things out of the treasury, the host was still calling Doflamingo. Even if Doflamingo was reckless and asked the host to open the treasury immediately, nothing would be seen. Vic was quick enough!
After leaving the auction house, Vic sensed the entire Sabaody Archipelago and found Dorag who was waiting for him.
"Here! This is your Chuan Chuan Fruit. Don't leave in a hurry. Let's go to area 50 and wait for someone."
"Haha! I finally got something out of this auction. It was worth coming here! Who are you waiting for?"
"I'm not waiting for anyone, I'm waiting for you! Don't ask who it is yet, you'll know when you see me."
