Pirate: My saber is a shining single scabbard
Chapter 21 The prelude kicks off
The show host stretched out his arms and shouted loudly into the microphone.
“Welcome to Moro Auction!”
"Without further ado, let's get started. Please take a look at the first auction item!"
"..."
One item after another was carried up to the high platform, and then brought down again after the bidding was over.
The atmosphere in the venue gradually became heated, and many people became red-faced.
Although the scene was fiery, none of the big pirates took any action. Instead, they watched with interest the crazy gestures of the weakling in their eyes.
Hughes didn't join in the fun either. While he was waiting for the final items to come on stage, he was also observing the venue.
He saw Ed, saw Lafitte, and also saw Capone Becky, who had a grudge against him.
Those famous big pirates were also secretly marked by him.
After the auction ends, as long as he can hunt two or three of them, he will make a big profit!
Time ticks by...
As the bidding for ordinary items ended, the heated atmosphere in the venue also subsided.
The showman host took a moment to take a sip of water and sweat.
Soon, he regained his energy.
“Without further ado, here’s the first final item!”
"Everyone, please take a look at the famous sword "Xia Chan", which has fifty skills and is a good sword. It was once the sword of a powerful swordsman. "
"For swordsmen, this sword is definitely a dream sword!"
"The starting price is 100 Baileys!"
"150 million!"
"200 million!"
"400!"
Hughes made his first bid, and after a while a voice doubled the bidding price.
He followed the sound and found an arrogant figure holding a cigar looking at him proudly.
Capone Becky?
Hughes tentatively quoted a lower price: "500 million!"
"1000 million!" The unpleasant voice immediately sounded.
Are you fighting with me?
Hughes gave up the bidding and compared his financial resources with an established gangster. He would be beaten to the last drop.
He planned to settle the old and new grudges together after the auction and take "Summer Cicada" from Kapenbeki's shriveled body.
When he was still in the Como family, Capone Becky suppressed the rise of the Como family many times.
As a sharp knife in the Como family, he naturally had many interactions with the other party.
Many captains and cadres of the Capone family were sucked into mummies by him.
He has also been injured by the opponent's intensive firepower, and was even almost shot into a hornet's nest.
The grievances between the two sides arose...
moment...
“The second final item please!”
As soon as the host finished speaking, the sound of dragging heavy objects was heard from the background, mixed with yelling.
wow wow~
After a moment, four strong men appeared in sight first.
They were dragging four thick chains, and behind the chains was a strong man nearly five meters tall.
The host's loud voice sounded at the right time.
"This is a human with giant blood, he..."
Before the host finished speaking, a sudden change occurred on the high platform!
After the little giant was dragged to the high platform, he took advantage of the weakening of the four strong men and immediately launched an attack!
He wrapped his two arms around the four chains, and with a strong tug, he instantly pulled the four strong men towards him!
boom!boom!
The little giant quickly knocked the four people down and then pounced on the showman host.
He knew that this man had tools that could control him.
However, he was still a step slow...
The little giant looked at the switch button that appeared in the host's hand, with a look of despair on his face.
The next moment, the host pressed the button on his hand with a cold expression.
zizizi~
The collar around the little giant's neck instantly emitted high-voltage current.
"Ahhh~"
The little giant was immediately tortured and rolled all over the floor. After a while, he foamed at the mouth and stopped struggling.
Upon seeing this, the showman host quickly put on a pleasant mask.
"Don't worry, everyone, the auction item just fainted."
"I believe everyone has seen the heroic performance of the auction items, so the starting price is 500 million beli!"
"..."
Hughes has been watching with a cold eye. Although he hates the slave trade, he will not do anything useless.
Then he glanced in Ed's direction and found that his eyes were also calm.
If it were the Ed he had just met, he would have rushed up in anger when he saw the situation on the high platform.
At this time, a big pirate who had never taken action before raised his tag.
"My ship is missing a helmsman. I want this man for 500 million beli!"
"laugh!"
Another big pirate who couldn't deal with him mocked: "Look at how poor you are, 1000 million!"
"2500 million!"
"..."
Soon the bidding price soared to 3000 million, which was also the final transaction price.
Hughes couldn't help but click his tongue.
The starting bid for the giants was only 5000 million. The human below, who at least had some giant blood, actually fetched 3000 million.
Soon, the third final item was brought up, which was an exquisite small box.
The host opened the box and moved it in front of the projector phone.
Through the large screen in the center, you can see that the box contains water and a small turtle is floating on the water.
"This little turtle is called the North Point Turtle. No matter how it moves, its head will point to true north."
“If that’s all it is, it’s not the final item.”
"The key point is that even in the Grand Line where the magnetic field is chaotic, the northern turtle still works."
"The starting price is 1000 Baileys!"
The host didn't say much. Those big pirates who are interested in the Grand Route naturally know its value.
What he didn't understand wasn't worth his time.
Hughes looked at the little turtle on the screen and knew that it was the same thing as the guide bird that helped Luffy get to the Sky Island.
This organism has a natural magnet in its body and is not affected by chaotic magnetic fields.
"1500 million!"
Soon the first bidding sound sounded.
Ok?
Hughes followed the sound and looked over, where a man dressed as a dramatic character was looking at the screen with piercing eyes.
Lafitte?
That's right, he is an excellent navigator, so it's not surprising that he is interested in the northern turtle.
Hughes looked at Ed again and found that he was staring at Lafitte, with veins popping up on his forehead, but he quickly calmed down.
Hughes breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He was really afraid that Ed would be unable to hold back and rush forward.
At this time, the bidding for the Northern Turtle has ended.
But the person who completed the transaction was not Lafitte. He called the price once and then stopped.
But Lafitte did not give up, he was determined to win the northern turtle.
It's just that he plans to get it from the corpse of the buyer after the auction is over.
At this time...
The host screamed like crazy.
"The final highlight is here!!"
"The treasure of the sea that can make ordinary people become strong men..."
"Devil Fruit!!"
After the clear image of the Devil Fruit appeared on the big screen, the scene suddenly erupted into a huge roar!
After setting the atmosphere in place, the host shouted:
"Then...the starting price is [-] million beli!!"
"One hundred million!"
"One hundred and sixty million!"
"Two hundred million!"
"..."
In a short period of time, the bidding price was pushed to a super high price of [-] million beli by the big pirates who came here for this purpose!
Hughes looked at the madness of the big pirates with cold eyes, and at the same time he also noticed that Ed was also involved.
It's a pity that his last offer was crushed to pieces in a matter of seconds.
In the end, this Devil Fruit also fell into the hands of Capone Becky.
Hughes was not surprised. The Capone family controlled multiple smuggling channels.
Money can be accumulated much faster than robbery!
As far as he knew, Capone Becky had already eaten the castle fruit.
Then this Devil Fruit may not be eaten immediately after the deal is made.
"Tsk tsk... I'll watch some good shows later."
Hughes secretly thought that even if he didn't take action, it would not be easy for Capone Becky to escape safely.
The bidding for the last auction item ended, and the door of the venue opened with a bang.
Then one by one, the bidders took their number plates and baileys and went backstage to exchange for bidding items.
The villains who did not get the items they wanted walked out of the venue to prepare for the next round.
For Hughes, the real show has just begun!
“Welcome to Moro Auction!”
"Without further ado, let's get started. Please take a look at the first auction item!"

For Hughes, the real show has just begun!
