Chapter 1208 Everyone is happy except the navy

The powerful natural fruit, the Yu Yu Fruit, has greatly increased the popularity of the second grand auction. The outside world can also watch the crazy bidding spectacle through real-time broadcast.

Everyone inside and outside the auction venue showed a positive attitude towards the Yu Yu Fruit, acknowledging that the organizer of the grand auction was very powerful and would not use such a powerful fruit for themselves after obtaining it.

For some people, allowing powerful devil fruits to circulate publicly is a good deed, and it is always more practical to rely on money than on fate.

The only ones who are unhappy should be the navy. The appearance of the Rain Rain Fruit at the auction means the loss of a navy admiral in the future, and the depressed mood is difficult to vent.

"The Rain Rain Fruit has fallen into the hands of an outsider. It should belong to our navy."

"Why don't we send troops to surround Pandora's stadium and take back the natural devil fruit?"

The navy now has six admirals, who sent warships to surround Island No. 1. Several admirals tried to stop the host, and one admiral snatched the items from the guests.

Although such acts of plundering would damage the reputation of the navy, the navy has the strength to do so and can really rob if they want to.

Now on the Sabaody Archipelago, is there any force that can stop six navy admirals at once? The six most powerful ones are the confidence of the navy, and the navy can do whatever it wants.

Marshal Sengoku's eyes flashed with fatigue when he heard the noise from his subordinates. "Be quiet, everyone. Look at your character. We are the navy, not pirates. Are you going to give up your principles just because of a devil fruit?"

The organizer of the grand auction had already made arrangements with the Navy Marshal in advance and took the initiative to propose a profit split, which was very sincere.

The higher the price of the auction items, the greater the share of profit. The navy is very short of money right now and needs money everywhere.

The heads of the logistics department, intelligence department, scientific research department, etc., all block the door of Marshal Zhan Guo every day to ask for money. Without material money, the spiritual justice alone cannot support the navy to this day.

When Marshal Zhan Guo opened his eyes every day, he had only one thought in his mind: make money! Go make money! Go make money!

The organizer of the grand auction and the Golden Emperor are currently the largest financial backers of the Navy. As the Celestial Dragons are increasingly tightening military spending, they are barely able to maintain a balance between income and expenditure by funding Marshal Warring States.

If we always rely on external funding, it will only form path dependence of a single force. The navy needs to be self-reliant and obtain a stable source of funds.

Zhan Guo initially thought of two options. The first and simplest option was to take out a loan from the Du Field Group, the "gangster vampire" who liked to lend money at high interest rates and had a huge amount of liquid funds in his hands.

Most of the forces have savings businesses in the Du Field Group, which would be the only dominant force on the sea if it were not for the existence of the great enemy, the pirates.

The Navy will definitely find a time to round up all those gangsters involved in the shady business and turn their ill-gotten gains into military expenditures.

The second way of collecting taxes is still difficult for the time being. The wealthy member states pay heavenly gold to the Celestial Dragons, which is considered a form of taxation.

Now the maritime member states are all fence-sitters. Compared with the rising navy and the declining Celestial Dragons, they don't want to offend either side, and don't want to lead to the death of their own people and the destruction of their country because of the problem of taking sides in advance.

The member states were exploited by the God Clan, and the navy can only take action against non-member states for the time being. These places are usually vast and sparsely populated, and the taxes obtained are almost all in kind.

Therefore, the second path is not feasible for the time being. What the navy lacks now is a big victory. By stepping on the corpses of Whitebeard and Golden Lion, the influence of the navy will be further expanded.

Those member states that stand on the side of the God Clan are not the filial sons of the world's agents. They will not take the initiative to contact the navy under pressure and offer money to ask the navy to provide shelter.

"Cross out Ajin from the list, he is no longer important to us," Sengoku conveyed his attitude to the intelligence chief Branno, saying that the pirate Ajin has lost his value and there is no need to continue contacting him.

Where did they get the Rain Rain Fruit? Could it be that the organizers of the Grand Auction conducted an open source analysis of the data revealed by the sky curtain and guessed the location of the treasure?

If this is true, the Navy's intelligence department is really a bunch of incompetents. It caused the Navy to lose a general at the source, which is a major intelligence mistake.

The newly appointed Branno is a close confidant of Marshal Sengoku, otherwise he would not have been promoted so quickly. The head of the intelligence department has been replaced three times, and no one in the navy wants to take this position now.

Intelligence work is too brain-intensive. Most of the navy recruited from various classes at sea are reckless men who like to wield knives and act ruthlessly, so they can only be allowed to fight pirates desperately.

In the real-time broadcast of Pandora by the camera bug, the auction of the Rain Rain Fruit came to an end and finally entered the third round of fierce bidding. The starting price soared from 1.5 billion berries to 3.5 billion berries.

In the end, it was bought by a mysterious guest in the private room. It turned out that outsiders did not understand the world of the rich. The bidding price was 3.5 billion berries, which exceeded the auction price of Mikazuki Munechika.

Speaking of Mikazuki Munechika, I heard that the nobleman was very unlucky. The sword that Cavendish spent a huge sum of money to bid for was eventually snatched away by a mysterious white-haired woman.

Cavendish has left the Chabaoti Archipelago to avoid his debts. There are not too many women who ask him to pay back the money. The Kingdom of Brujoie is not responsible for this matter and will not pay the money for the exiled prince or take the initiative to cut off the debt relationship.

"We can't do it inside Pandora's stadium, but we can do it outside. That's 3.5 billion berries!" Admiral Kizaru couldn't help but lick his lips. He had been an admiral for so long, but he had never seen 3.5 billion berries at once. Paper money piled together was a mountain of money.

Money is a tempting thing. Kizaru thought that if he could grab a lot of money and then sell the devil fruit to the Navy Marshal, the huge amount of stolen money would be enough for his retirement and he would not be able to spend it all for the rest of his life.

"As long as the buyer is not a fool, if he dares to take the Rain Rain Fruit out of Pandora Stadium intact, there will be many people who want to kill him. Cavendish is a good example."

Kuzan had a suspicion in his mind that the rapid leakage of Cavendish's information was partly due to the gossip of the woman in the same private room, or perhaps there was another possibility that the organizer was selling the auctioneer's information behind the scenes.

Don't overestimate the moral bottom line of the underworld. As long as it can be exchanged for money, anything can be sold. In the eyes of those desperadoes, only the Berry in their hands will not deceive them.

Kisame, who was sitting near Altria, suddenly felt his left eyelid twitching. His sixth sense was warning him that something bad might happen.

"Am I overthinking this?" Kisame raised his hand and stroked his eyelids, and this small action attracted the attention of the people around him.

Kisame was right. The second item in the second auction was indeed inextricably linked to the sea people.
