Start Sanctuary: I stole Athena

Chapter 7 In the Auction
Aristocrats with a little strength don’t know that the back seat of the Black Joan Chamber of Commerce is the imperial family of the empire. If the legendary emperor of the empire didn’t store this fruit directly in his treasury, how could he allow this fruit to appear in the auction? superior.

There must be something hidden behind this matter. I really don’t know what the emperor is planning.

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and Adolf showed a smug smile on the face of the stage. This devil fruit was found by his treasure hunting team on an uninhabited island. The orphan who was brought up probably ran away with this phantom beast devil fruit long ago.

Even so, on the day he saw the fruit, Adolf made all the insiders disappear except him.

Adolf knew very well what a phantom beast devil fruit represented. If it wasn't for the blessing of the empire in Dislanka, Adolf would not even dare to auction this fruit.

You must know that the three phantom beast species fruit capable users on the sea are the current navy marshal Sengoku, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates [-]st Division Marco, and the pirate Yonko Hyakju who is suspected to be a phantom beast species. Kaido.

The Admiral of the Navy, the Four Emperors, and the Deputy of the Emperor are all existences that would shake the sea three times when stomping their feet. The value of this phantom beast devil fruit can be imagined. The news spread is enough to make the whole world crazy.

The white gloves controlled by the imperial family like the Black Qiong Chamber of Commerce, under normal circumstances, this fruit should go directly to the imperial treasury silently. Adolf has not yet figured out what the legendary ruler of the empire thinks , Let them auction this precious phantom beast.

"I believe that the value of this fruit does not need to be introduced by the old man. Everyone here is aware of it. As our finale, it will be taken away by that adult today. Please wait and see." Adolf held up the small hammer in Adolf's hand for the textured devil fruit, and it suddenly fell down under the attention of everyone.

Boom, the auction begins!
"The starting price is 5 million Baileys, and each increase is no less than 1000 million Baileys."

The sound of Adolf's hammer fell, but the entire venue fell into silence, and there was no sound for a while.

Those who are eligible to participate in the auction are the old and powerful nobles of the empire or the upstarts of the empire, the presidents of major chambers of commerce, or the overlords of a party with great reputation on the sea.

They are still very clear about what can and cannot be moved.

If you don't have enough strength, if you get something, it may bring death to the whole family, and if you touch something that shouldn't be touched, you will die.

Perhaps a fantasy beast fruit can directly change the fate of the entire family. As long as enough time is given, maybe a strong man like the Four Emperors will appear in the family and become the top force on the sea.

But what is more likely is that, as soon as they got the fruit, they were slaughtered overnight by those big shots who regarded this devil fruit as their own.

"The most precious phantom beast among all known devil fruits, who will get it today?" Facing the silence, Adolf didn't feel worried at all. On the contrary, he looked forward to the next process even more. He had a feeling I have a hunch that the good show is about to begin.

This auction tonight will definitely break the highest price he has ever achieved in his career, and it may even be an unsurpassable peak in the auction history of the Heiqiong Chamber of Commerce.

A lot of this level is rare in the world. If it weren't for the existence of that legend, it would not have been sent to the auction at all. Today, it is destined to be the Heiqiong Chamber of Commerce... No, it should be said to be the most glorious pinnacle of the entire auction world.

"6 billion!"

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a deep voice to break the silence of the entire venue. Everyone followed the voice and looked at the first room on the second floor.

Many people looked horrified after seeing the fierce figure standing behind the open window of the room.

"Is Sid here too?" Looking at the fierce figure in the room, Colin narrowed his eyes and said to himself.

That fierce figure is a notorious great pirate, the great pirate Hammer Warlangmaru with a bounty of 5 million Berries.

As for how he, a pirate, appeared in the center of the empire?
Just like the Black Joan Chamber of Commerce is the white glove of the empire, nourishing the empire through trade on the surface, big pirates like Zhan Langmaru are the black gloves of the empire, and some things that are inconvenient for the empire to do on the surface are Let these pirates solve it secretly.

Zhanlangwan is the strongest of all the black gloves in the empire. The present bounty is not as worthless as the future. Even if the big pirate with a bounty of [-] million Berries is placed in the Whitebeard Pirates, the recognized uncrowned king on the sea, All are eligible for the role of captain level.

But this is the capital of the empire after all, and Zhanlangwan is just a dog raised by the empire in the eyes of these nobles even if it is majestic outside.

How could a dog be qualified to stand in the first room on the second floor? Perhaps his master had also come. If it was His Highness, no one would dare to bid with him.

Sure enough, after Zhanlangwan made the bid, the whole venue fell into silence, and even Adolf on the stage looked ugly.

If this precious Phantom Beast Devil Fruit is only auctioned for [-] million Berry, I am afraid that the entire Heiqiong Chamber of Commerce will become the laughing stock of others, and his reputation will be ruined.

"Six hundred million Berries, the first time!"

"Six hundred million Berries, the second time!"

But no matter how ugly his face was, Adolf had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue, Zhan Langwan was nothing, but Adolf behind him couldn't afford to offend.

"One billion Berry! Huh, a dirty pirate deserves to set foot on the land of Dislanka." At this moment, a disdainful voice came from room No. [-] of Tianzi.

"It's His Royal Highness Fifth."

"Why is His Highness Fifth here?"

"That's His Highness the Second Highness's person."

After the voice came out, the nobles below immediately started discussing in amazement.

There are only 12 rooms in the Tianzihao of the Heiqiong Chamber of Commerce. The first 6 rooms are for the princes of the empire, and the last 6 rooms belong to the prime minister of the empire, the Council of Elders, and the four grand dukes of the empire.

There are a total of 15 princes in the empire. In fact, they rarely appear in auctions. The most fundamental reason is that the princes do not have their own influence.

The royal family has money, but they can't use that money. It's not enough to squander the pocket money every month, let alone participate in the auction.

So the six rooms are often empty, and Zhan Langwan belongs to the second prince. Today, Zhan Langwan can sit in the first room on the second floor, which means that the second prince must be here.

The second prince has always been in the imperial capital, so it is understandable to appear here.

But now that the fifth prince who could not be here under normal circumstances has come, how can the nobles below not be surprised.

You must know that these two princes have always been kings, especially when the second prince appeared at this critical moment in the empire.

The fifth prince has been ordered by His Majesty to guard Stormwind City. How could he return to the Royal Capital without His Majesty's orders? Isn't he afraid that the arbitrary Majesty will be angry?
