Struggle to build a country in the world of pirates

The host of the venue appeared, holding a microphone, and said in a high-pitched voice: "Thank you to all the most expensive guests for participating in this auction. In order to live up to everyone's expectations, we have prepared many rare products this time. Come on, chat. Shaoxu, let us first invite you to take out today’s first auction item.”

A girl was launched on the stage, with shackles on her hands and feet. The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate features and a thin and pitiful figure.

The host continued: "This girl comes from a kingdom in the East China Sea, and she is a princess. I won't introduce much else. The base price is 3000 million beli, and each increase will be no less than 100 million beli. The bidding begins."

Some wretched uncles in the audience began to bid, "3500 million", "I will offer 4000 million", "4500 million" "The customer over there bid 6000 million, is there anything higher?"

Lei Luo motioned to Constable to bid: "8000 million"

"Is there anything higher than 8000 million? 8000 million once, 8000 million the second time, 8000 million the third time, the deal is done." The hammer sound fell.

Lei Luo said to Constable: "Look back and find out what happened?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Lei Luo turned to Garp and said: "Lieutenant General Garp, I remember that the World Government explicitly prohibits the sale of slaves. Now, don't you care?"

Garp gritted his teeth and said: "This is not the scope of our navy's responsibilities."

"Hey! Lieutenant General Garp, this is a bit self-deceiving. I believe you will recognize the two words on the back of your navy's cape. It is a bit sad that you claim to be righteous but do not stop injustice when you see it. ah."

"There are some things that even I can't do anything about. Just like you once told me, any organization will have flaws."

Lei Luo scratched his head and said doubtfully: "Have I said this to you before? Why don't I remember."

Garp ignored Lei Luo, and Lei Luo stopped teasing Garp.

The second product was also for women, but the third and fourth products were all for sale. There were also men's products for sale. Many female customers were also bidding frantically. It was not until a giant appeared behind that they attracted Lei Luo.

"This is a giant. You must know that many people were killed and injured during the arrest. The giants are powerful, but this is still a minor. There will be a lot of room for growth in the future. The base price is 1500 million beli. , each price increase shall not be less than 100 million Baileys”

However, the bidding at the scene was not fierce. Everyone was more interested in beauties than giants. Giants themselves were powerful, difficult to control, and dangerous, so they were not suitable to be bodyguards.

Constable once again offered 3000 million Baileys to take away the giant.

The products that came down, including jewelry, swords, and weapons, did not arouse Lei Luo's interest.

“Next, let’s move on to the grand finale of this event, a Devil Fruit. This Devil Fruit has been identified as a phantom beast of the animal species—the Black Tortoise Fruit. The Black Tortoise is a huge turtle with a turtle body and a snake tail. According to legend, The ability to control sea water, the starting price is 3 million beli, and no less than 1000 million beri each time."

There were many pirates in the venue who were already ready to make a move, but knowing that they did not have enough funds to bid, they could only wait until afterwards to rob them.

Allen bids "500,000,000 Baileys!"

Everyone marveled at the heroic spirit. Not to be outdone, Charma Kesheng, a Celestial Dragon, raised a sign with "600 million Baileys" and then looked at Lei Luo with a slightly contemptuous smile.

Allen bids again "Eighty Million Baileys!"

The Celestial Dragon, Charma Kesheng, was also very surprised. Normally, knowing his identity, he would not compete with him for bidding, yet the other party dared to raise the price to "one billion Baileys".

Lei Luo didn't even say a word. Allen once again raised the sign "Two Billion Baileys" and then asked the host: "May I ask the host how you determined that the attribute of this devil fruit is the animal-type fantasy beast-the black turtle fruit? , you must know that this fruit does not exist in the known devil fruit illustrated books."

Everyone also looked at the host in confusion. At this time, the Celestial Dragon Saint Charmac also calmed down. The host said with a cold sweat on his head: "Actually, the winner of this fruit got it on the island of a giant turtle. , the shape of the giant tortoise is similar to the legendary black tortoise, and the fruit has the same tortoise pattern, so we can make this inference."

Allen asked again: "That means you are just inferring, right?"

The people below all booed, because everyone knows that although Devil Fruits are good, some Devil Fruits are not worth the high price. Some top-notch powerful people may destroy themselves if they eat junk fruits.

The host was also in an awkward situation and didn't know what to do. Allen continued: "In order to ensure the authenticity of the fruit's ability, I asked the seller to provide the specific location where the fruit was obtained and lead the way for inspection."

The host said: "Please wait a moment, let me ask the seller." The host returned to the backstage, and a quarter of an hour later, returned to the stage and said: "The other party can provide a chart and general direction, but the sea turtles are mobile. , it’s hard to be sure, and the seller is unwilling to come forward, so I’m sorry, but due to our bank’s reasons, the winner of this auction will receive a refund of 200 million from the seller.”

Allen continued: "In that case, let's continue bidding. Is the bid I just made valid, host?"

"Yes, yes, effective, 1.2 billion Baileys, is there anything higher?"

The Celestial Dragon, Charma Kesheng, did not bid any more, because he would not be able to eat this thing. It is usually given to loyal subordinates, or collected, but there is no need to spend so much money on such uncertain things. .

In the end, Allen got this thing for one billion

The host breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Okay, next is the last item in this auction, and that is the mermaid." The host invited the staff with both hands, and the staff pushed up two people covered with red cloth. A large transparent fish tank.

The host removed the red cloth. Inside the two large fish tanks, there were a little girl mermaid and a young male mermaid.

Everyone's emotions felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on them once again, and someone even asked loudly: "Who are you trying to fool? Is this a mermaid?"

The host said slightly embarrassed: "Everyone knows the value of mermaids. This mermaid is still underage, but it can be cultivated. The value of female mermaids is over 1000 million. Today, male mermaids and female mermaids are packed together. In the auction, the starting bid is million Baileys, and each increase in price shall not be less than million Baileys.”

The venue was quiet for a while, and then a voice rang out, "I'll offer 100 million beli!"
