Pirate Catcher in the Rye

"Everyone seems to be ready to make a move. After all, no one in this world can resist the improvement of strength."

"So…"

"First of all, our first auction item is the animal-type bird fruit and bald eagle form."

"The base price is [-] million beli, let's start bidding!"

Snapped!

The host picked up a wooden hammer and knocked heavily on the table. Suddenly, the atmosphere below became tense.

"2 billion!!"

"2 million!"

"2 million!"

"3 billion!"

...

There were constant bids, and the price of this Devil Fruit was rising steadily with almost no pause. It was obvious that most people present were very wealthy.

Not only that, this also shows that the final transaction price still has a lot of room for improvement!

Hawkins waited quietly, preparing to make his final move.

Time passes slowly, fewer and fewer people bid, and the pace gradually slows down. Obviously, the current price is almost reaching its peak!

"7 million!"

After a pause, someone bid again.

"7 million!"

Suddenly, Hawkins raised the bidding card in his hand and said a number.

By foreseeing the future, he had already seen that someone subsequently called for 7 million, and finally someone won the devil fruit with 2500 beli!

"Huh?" Rohr looked at Hawkins with a puzzled look.

Now it has reached the final moment, which has exceeded many people's psychological expectations. Usually the increase is several million, but it is rare to directly increase 1500 million Baileys like Hawkins.

But he is also happy to see the result, and is looking forward to someone bidding a higher price!

"No need to wait, we can announce the deal!" Jamory said with a smile.

All of them knew Hawkins' character and abilities very well, and he would not waste time unless it was finalized.

Now that Hawkins has made a bid, this is also the final transaction price!

"Please wait a moment, there are two more buyers below who are ready to move!" Rohr said respectfully.

He was very good at observing words and expressions. With just a glance, he found two people below who were interested in making bids.

I saw the two people raising the bidding sign, but finally put it down again!

"So accurate?"

Rohr couldn't help but look at Hawkins.

Obviously, Hawkins' price is a little higher than the limit of those two people, maybe just less than 200 million Baileys.

This made him doubt his life!

A person who traveled with more than two billion beli looked stupid, but he was so calculating that he got the devil fruit at the minimum cost.

a long time,

Snapped!

The host snapped the hammer and announced the end of the transaction, and Hawkins also successfully obtained the Devil Fruit in the form of a bald eagle.

"Congratulations, Captain. With this Devil Fruit, your pirate group will definitely be able to reach a higher level."

"I look forward to your success in reaching the top and becoming the new Yonko!"

Although it was not a big hit, it was sold for a high price of 7 million beli, which was much higher than the previous average price. Rohr was quite satisfied.

In this way, the commission they draw will be much higher.

"Then the next thing..."

"5 billion!"

Before the host finished speaking, someone below could not wait to bid.

The previous bald eagle form could be sold for a high price of more than 7 million, and the price of this blunt-tailed two-headed snake form will only be higher.

It is almost impossible to be as popular as before and finally succeed in picking up the leak!

"6 million Bailey!"

"6 million!"

Immediately afterwards, there was another bid from below, and the increase soared, almost approaching the transaction price of the previous Devil Fruit.

Not only is this Devil Fruit worth more, but it is also the last Devil Fruit in this auction!

I don’t know how long I have to wait to meet you next time!

"Whoo~"

Hawkins let out a heavy breath.

If he hadn't made a fortune in the Kingdom of Atria, he would have wanted to rob it directly. After all, it was close to 20 billion beli.

Bullshit 50 million beri, the World Government has offered a high price of [-] billion beri for the surgical fruit!

There are too many big forces in the new world, and there are too many rich people.

His money was considered a fortune in Beihai, but in the New World, it was nothing!

"8 million!"

Seeing someone bidding again below, Hawkins' face darkened.

I'm afraid it would be difficult for anyone who eats this fruit to get even half the reward of this devil fruit!

"Snapped!"

Hawkins tapped the handrail lightly, and bundles of straw sprang out from the ground on the first floor and came behind several people.

At the same time, a wave of domineering aura accurately attacked the people downstairs.

I saw the bodies of those people swaying, and then they were immediately supported by the straw, and they just sat quietly in their positions!

"Oh, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when I'm not a family member!"

"9 million Bailey!"

Muttering secretly, Hawkins raised the bidding card again.

"Haha!" Seeing Hawkins take action again, Rohr smiled softly and couldn't help but shake his head.

too naive!

Do you think that with the addition of 4000 million Baileys, you can win this Devil Fruit?

As the person in charge of the auction, he can be sure that the transaction price this time will definitely be around one billion Baileys!

Ok?

After a while, Rohr looked doubtfully in the direction of the first floor and saw that the few people he had originally been optimistic about were sitting quietly on their seats.

a long time,

The auction, which had been going back and forth, completely fell silent after Hawkins called out the bid.

"Is it because they are afraid of the strength of the Hawkins Pirates? But the Hawkins Pirates obviously arrived last."

"Furthermore, in order to reduce the psychological pressure of other bidders, I specially arranged the Hawkins Pirates to a private room on the second floor!"

Rolle was puzzled.

He has been working at auctions for more than ten years, and he rarely makes mistakes in judgment, let alone an error of nearly [-] million beli!

But no matter what he thinks, the auction must continue.

finally,

No one else bid again, and Hawkins also won the devil fruit in the shape of a blunt-tailed two-headed snake at a high price of 9 million beli.

And this auction can be considered a successful conclusion!

Later, the staff walked into the private room with two Devil Fruits, and Hawkins paid readily.

Pay with one hand and deliver with one hand!

but…

Everyone in the Hawkins Pirates stared at the two Devil Fruits in front of them.

Except for a very few people, no one can resist the power of Devil Fruit!

Even Deent is no exception. Although he will turn into a landlubber, he can fly in his bald eagle form.

And the form of the blunt-tailed two-headed snake also has a great bonus on him!

Whoa!

Hawkins didn't care, but took out a stack of cards and began to divine.

"The bald eagle form is given to Bartholomew, and as for the ability of the blunt-tailed two-headed snake..."

"Elise!"
