Chapter 1157: Starting Bid: 6 Million Berry

The teacher who likes to teach others, Mr. Koro, has a teaching pen in his tentacle. He points at the megalodon he drew and begins to introduce it to the illiterate people.

Megalodon is the largest shark that can be studied so far. It is much larger than the sharks that exist in the ocean today and was once one of the top predators in the ocean.

According to Mr. Koro's archaeological discoveries, megalodon was active between 2800 million and 150 million years ago, and usually fed on sea kings, sea beasts, and ancient whales.

The length of a juvenile is more than 50 meters, and the length of an adult can easily exceed 100 meters. It has a mouth full of huge teeth that can be replaced at any time, a hard skeleton, and skin that is not easily injured.

Taking into account various characteristics of the organism, it is able to hunt sea kings and is one of the natural enemies of sea kings.

The cause of extinction is unknown. It may be that the ancient ocean was different from the current ocean, which caused the megalodon to be unable to adapt to the environment and was eventually eliminated by natural selection, suddenly withdrawing from the stage of history in a short period of time.

"How powerful the Megalodon was in the past. After eating this fruit, you will gain equal abilities after training." Koro-sensei wiped off the painting skills on the whiteboard with his tentacle, stretched out a tentacle and began to paint on it again.

This time, the onlookers, even if they were illiterate, could tell what the yellow tentacle was about to draw. The three basic forms of the animal-type devil fruit appeared on the whiteboard after a moment.

Three images appear on the whiteboard at the same time. In human form, he has shark skin and can breathe through his skin, which greatly enhances his defense, and ordinary swords and guns cannot penetrate his defense.

The user of the Megalodon Fruit also has some resistance to toxins. Even if they ingest ten times the normal dose of poison and anesthetics, they will only feel slight discomfort. As the skin comes into contact with the air, the toxins will be metabolized.

In the human-beast form, the human head is replaced with a shark head, and the open mouth shows neat shark teeth. It has a bite force far exceeding that of a dinosaur, and can easily bite through steel with one bite.

If the user can skillfully use Armament Haki, the attack power of Megalodon's teeth can be further enhanced, and in theory it can bite through all metals.

Megalodon's ability to replace its teeth is inherited, and the user can use his or her teeth as weapons for long-range attacks, which are sharper than ordinary swords.

The defense rate of the human-beast form will be further enhanced, the fish tail behind the buttocks can also be used as an attack weapon, and the streamlined body can reduce wind resistance and greatly enhance the user's speed.

The Megalodon has a specialized sense of the smell of blood, and can sense the smell of blood within ten kilometers. It can easily track its prey by following the smell of blood.

The third image is the beast form. The user can transform into a megalodon in the sea. However, this picture surprised the guests. Wouldn’t a devil fruit user suffocate to death if swimming in the sea?

Mother Ocean hates those with Devil Fruit abilities. Those who are in the deep sea will lose all their strength and sink to the bottom of the sea. Except for the strong ones who appear specially in the sky, they are rarely seen by the outside world.

The user of the Devil Fruit who can breathe in the sea, provided that the other party is a sea creature, can breathe on his own even if he sinks to the bottom of the sea. However, if it is a human, before he sinks to the bottom of the sea, he cannot absorb the oxygen in the sea water, and in a panic, water enters his lungs and he eventually drowns.

"The two forms before the Megalodon Fruit are relatively ordinary. I want to focus on the third form. If the user with this ability maintains the beast form in the sea, he will not be cursed by the sea, will not lose power, and can roam freely in the sea"!

The third point is the most important selling point of the Megalodon Fruit. The devil fruit can swim freely in the sea. It can be said that it can go wherever it wants. Who can stop the user of this ability in such a vast world?

After listening to the host's final introduction, the guests in the seats fell into a state of aphasia for a short time. They were shocked by the news that the ancient species of Fish-Fish Fruit could actually conquer the sea!

“Is this true? The yellow monster on the stage must be lying.”

"I don't believe that the animal-type devil fruit is not afraid of the curse of the sea."

"Could it be because of the Fish-Fish Fruit that it has more advantages than terrestrial animal fruits?"

Regardless of whether what Mr. Koro said at the end was true or false, it has aroused great enthusiasm among the guests. Ancient devil fruits are rare and much stronger than ordinary animal-type devil fruits.

One ancient species can almost beat a group of ordinary species. The human form and human-beast form of the Megalodon Fruit are not as ordinary as Mr. Koro belittles them.

There are several animal-type fruits that can increase one's own defense under normal circumstances. The group of country bumpkins in the outside world have heard of them. As long as they eat the Megalodon Fruit, they can obtain a weaker version of the Iron Balloon ability of the Four Emperors Big Mom in disguise.

Relying on the defense of his body, he is immune to all kinds of hidden guns and arrows. Even if he charges first in the front, he cannot be hurt by artillery shells. If he combines it with the armed color domineering, the defense power of his body will be unimaginable.

The amazing biting ability increases the attack power. It is unimaginable to be bitten by a shark head in a certain part. If the person with this ability does not choose to let go, the prey will not be able to break free from the shark's teeth in a short time.

If you want to escape from this predicament, you can only sacrifice some flesh and blood. There will be a lot of blood smell in the air, and you will be tracked by people with special abilities, so it is not easy to escape.

Even though the beast form cannot swim in the sea, the abilities gained in the first two forms greatly enhance its strength, and it does not have the disadvantage of having to replenish water for a long time on land like the Fish-Fish Fruit.

It can absorb moisture from the air through its skin. Under normal circumstances, the user of the Megalodon Fruit will not die of thirst. The only weakness that can be picked out is that it is not suitable for fighting in extremely dry conditions.

Shark skin cannot retain moisture for long periods of time and dehydrates faster than humans in desert environments, but this weakness is almost negligible.

There are lands with desert terrain in this world. If it weren't for the uninhabited areas, ordinary islands would not form deserts. The former Kingdom of Alabasta was a special case.

It is hard to find a second desert country as large as the Kingdom of Alabasta. Desert countries are poor in material resources and people are concentrated near oases with fresh water. Pirates are not interested in this kind of terrain.

If you still want to rob in the city, why not choose a more affluent port city? Inexperienced pirates who rashly enter the desert will most likely get lost and die of thirst, eventually turning into bones for small animals to nest in.

The first product announced at the grand ranking meeting was so topical and practical that the guests couldn’t imagine that the subsequent devil fruits would be no worse than this one.

Most of the powerful people feel that they did not bring enough money and regret not mortgaged more assets. The devil fruits to be auctioned later will only be more stunning. In ancient times, the megalodon fruit was just an appetizer.

"This ancient marine devil fruit is rarer than the ancient terrestrial devil fruit. In a world full of oceans, the Megalodon fruit has a greater survival advantage. The starting price is set at 600 million berries." The host said this number, directly discouraging a small number of people in the venue.

A poor guy who can't even come up with 600 million in liquid funds is only fit to be a spectator in the Pandora venue. Without money, he is not qualified to own precious things.

However, an ancient devil fruit was priced at 600 million berries, which is the highest starting price for an ancient devil fruit so far.
