Pirates: Knowledge is power

During the extensive search across the territory of Wano, Drum collected nearly ten Devil Fruit users and several Devil Fruits.

Among them, the female ninja Shinobu ate the super-human Ripe Fruit and followed Mitsuki Oden.

Because he sensed something was wrong with the country of Wano, Shinobu tried to go out to sea to find Kozuki Oden, but was caught by Drum and locked in a cage.

Xiao Nin is not very strong, and he is a ninja who is not good at frontal combat.

But the ripe fruit she ate has a somewhat special ability, which is very good for catalyzing experiments, so Dram is not going to let her go.

After catching it, he immediately took action and changed Xiao Ren into a ghost king soldier in a very short time.

After nearly an hour of Drum performing the surgery himself, Drum threw away the blood-stained scalpel and wiped his sweat with his white coat.

On the operating table in front of him, the brand-new Ghost King Soldier Xiao Ren was lying on it.

His eyes were unconscious, and his body was made of half metal and half flesh.

Dram's transformation techniques are various, and this type of transformation that preserves most of the flesh and body structure is one of them.

The main reason is that depriving the other party of consciousness is a little troublesome.

After the transformation, Drum was about to sit down and rest for a while, when Victoria broke into his laboratory.

Drum sat down on the chair, picked up the already cold tea cup and took a sip.

Asked: "What happened again?"

Victoria usually wouldn't disturb him when he was working, but once he was disturbed, it would only be because something was urgent.

"Read it yourself." He threw the newspaper in his hand to Drum, pulled up a chair and sat down.

"What happened?" Drum opened the newspaper nonchalantly, and after just glancing at it twice, Drum read all the information in the newspaper.

Folding the newspaper and throwing it aside, Durham thought about its contents.

There are two important things in the newspaper. One is that Kozuki Oden led everyone to join the Roger Pirates.

This is not surprising, because it was his arrangement for Kozuki Oden to join Roger's ship.

In the name of delivering wine, Kozuki Oden was thrown to Roger.

This will prevent Kozuki Oden from going out to harm other people.

Kozuki Oden arrived on Roger's ship at this time, four years earlier than in the original work.

But this is not a bad thing, but a good thing.

Because Roger found the final island early, the situation will be even more confusing...

Another thing is that an extremely grand auction is about to take place on the sea, just a week from now, on a relatively remote island that is specially used to hold auctions.

This kind of thing should have been very hidden, but this guy Morgans published it in the newspaper.

And judging from what the newspaper said, this auction will not only auction many precious treasures.

There are still six Devil Fruits that will appear at the auction, and one of them is an extremely rare Phantom Beast Devil Fruit.

In this way, before Dram has passed, it will be clear that this auction will be chaotic.

This auction has such a rich collection of items and is definitely the largest in the past century. I am afraid that most of the forces on the sea will participate.

"Are we going to get involved in the auction?" Victoria poured herself a cup of tea and was drinking it gracefully.

Durham drummed his fingers on the table, a smile spreading across his face.

"How can I not get involved in such an interesting thing? I will order one of the Oni King Guards to go over and leave the rest to you. Those who escaped from Wano Country can only trouble you to deal with it first."

Although Dram captured Wano in a very short period of time, he even changed the names of several places to Oni King Soldiers.

But he acted too suddenly and was not fully prepared, causing a small number of people to realize something was wrong and escape early.

Those who escaped were no threat to him, but he had to eliminate them.

Time advanced to a week later, Black Rock Island, Black Rock Auction.

The host in a suit was very excitedly introducing the items to be auctioned to everyone present.

The auction house was packed with thousands of seats packed to capacity.

Anyone who can sit in this auction has more or less status.

So they were all wearing valuable clothes, but there was no sign of noise or chaos.

Even some pirates did not make any noise in this auction.

There are ten rooms above the auction house, each of which is covered with curtains, making it difficult for people to see what's going on inside.

But you can tell from the aura emanating from inside that the people sitting in these rooms are not simple.

"Dear guests, this batch of jewelry has been auctioned, let us appreciate the next item."

The host waved to the audience, and two staff members wearing suits, hats, and sunglasses ran up immediately.

The two of them, one behind the other, were pushing a cage covered with red cloth onto the stage.

After the two staff members went down, the host walked to the cage, ripped off the red cloth, and excitedly introduced to everyone present:

"Dear guests, let me introduce this item solemnly. The leader of the Black Pirates, the pirate with a bounty of 12 million Baileys, Black Abe, is in good health and has no diseases. If there is demand, this auction The market can provide sterilization surgery for free, so everyone can buy it with confidence, and the starting price is 100,000 beli."

In the cage, a naked, 1.6-meter-tall, dark-haired guy with a sausage mouth and a bald head was locked in a cage, with shackles tied around his hands, feet and neck.

But everyone was less interested in the host's excited introduction.

Such slaves are not considered rare goods on the sea. With the status of these people sitting in the auction house, there are not many channels to buy them.

Seeing that no one had any intention of bidding, the auction house was about to get cold, so the host took the microphone and continued talking.

After all, what will be auctioned next are rare slaves. This item is incidental at best and not very important.

But if it hadn't been for the auction, he would have had his salary deducted.

"Dear guests, although this item is not very rare, please don't forget that his head is worth twelve million beli.

If you take a picture of him for 100,000 beli, you can make 11.9 million beli by changing hands as long as he is sent to the navy. This is an opportunity to make a small fortune. "

Although the auctioneer's words are nice, the person who can sit in this auction is not short of the 10 million Baileys.

After a while of silence, someone finally bid, "One hundred and ten thousand beli."

"One hundred and fifteen thousand beli."

……

After a minute of competition, the black-skinned Abe was bought by a businessman for 250,000 beli.

But the first slave launched from the auction house also caused dissatisfaction among many people.

The number of discussions in the auction house gradually increased.

After all, they are all people with money and status, but they actually promote such a product on stage.

Are you looking down on them?

The host smiled, how could a group of mediocre people understand their boss's good intentions.

Let the guests down first, and then introduce an extremely precious treasure.

Such an arrangement can quickly reverse the customer's mood and often result in a higher offer.

As the auction continued, many precious races appeared on the auction floor.

There are the fish-men with unique and strong looks, the slender mermaid lady, the fur-bearers who look like leopard girls, the long-hands with very long hands... and finally even the giants with powerful monsters.

As rare races were put on the auction block one by one, many people's eyes widened.

Almost most of the rare races in the world appeared in this auction.

With such a large amount of money, almost all rare races in the world have been collected.

This kind of thing, which is usually only possible in BUG MOM's Wan Guo, actually happened at an auction.

If Big Mom knew about it, she would definitely be very happy.

After all, there are people who like to collect various races in the world as much as she does, and they are almost like close friends.

In the special room of the auction house, Drum sat on a luxurious chair, holding his face and looking at the auction below with a slight smile.

Behind him stood a group of people in black cloaks, all tall and strong.

They just stood there motionless, like statues.

Durham did not bid during this period, mainly because the items in the early stages of the auction were very average.

All kinds of jewelry are of no use except to look good. Although they are shiny, gold coins are also shiny.

Why would he spend gold coins to buy something he could get by robbing it.

As for the slaves, except for the giants, he didn't even look at them.

He also covets the giant's blood factor.

But what appeared in the auction was just a very ordinary female giant. Her face was not ugly, and her two small peaks were also very exaggerated.

But the size of this giant, with a height of 16 to 17 meters, seems a bit weak compared to the adult giants.

The combat power may not even reach the passing line of the giant race.

Even so, it was robbed by most people on the field.

Because the chance of Giants appearing at the auction is lower than that of Devil Fruits.

After all, giants rarely appear on the sea.

Especially the giantess, looking at the bidders, the tears in her mouth couldn't stop flowing...

They obviously have very special hobbies, they like soft beds and caves...

The bidding on the field lasted for a long time, and finally the giantess was bought by a country's king for 600 million beli.

This price is not a small amount of money. From the fact that the person can take it out without any distress, it can be seen that he is very wealthy and a guy who can extort money many times.

As the giantess was taken away, the auction reached its final climax.

A staff member pushed up a shiny golden treasure box.

Drum's eyes lit up, but he immediately calmed down.

The host also solemnly introduced: "Dear guests, this auction has reached the final stage. I would like to ask everyone, what is the most precious treasure on the sea?"

Although the host was very enthusiastic, no one paid attention to him.

The silence made him very embarrassed.

But as someone who has hosted dozens of auctions, he is not that fragile.

Even if no one comes to support the auction, the auction will continue.

"Yes, the most precious treasure in the sea is the Devil Fruit!"

Opening the shiny golden box, lying inside was a gray-blue Devil Fruit with a strange pattern.

"Animal type·Niu Niu fruit·Rhinoceros form, starting price, 100 million beli!"

After the host finished quoting the price, he looked up at the rooms above.

An animal devil fruit seems precious in the eyes of many people, but in reality it is just that.

The strong look down upon it, and the weak cannot afford it.

But the animal system still has good breeding value.

One of the houses was auctioned for 250 million beli.

The following Devil Fruits are: Animal type: Bird Fruit, Pigeon form, Animal type: Cat fruit, Black Panther form, Superman type: Disease fruit, Animal type: Elephant fruit, Ancient species, Mammoth form.

Drum used 300 million beli to take the diseased fruit, and the remaining devil fruits were divided among the rooms above.

Although there were people below who wanted to bid, but someone released a domineering color, which not only knocked out everyone below, but even the host was knocked down.

The current host has just been replaced. Even now, his legs are trembling, he can't stand as steady as noodles, and he stumbles when talking.

In a certain room, the young Big Mom slammed the chair.

"Damn it, the mammoth fruit was snatched away like this! If you tell me who is robbing me, I will chop him to death!"

Perospero held the candy cane and comforted him: "Mom, don't be so angry. It was robbed. How about we get it back later?"

"You're right, we are pirates! We should grab what we want!" Big Mom's eyes lit up, but soon darkened again.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy. The people in the other rooms are not weak."

If she could snatch it away, she wouldn't let it go.

Now that all nations are being established, money is needed everywhere.

This is her lifelong dream!

If she can get it for free, why should she spend money?

It’s just that the people in the other rooms are not weak.

Big Mom noticed that there was an aura in this auction that was not weaker than hers, and the amount was close to two hands.

In this situation, it’s not easy to grab...

In the room on the other side, Kaido paid and took the animal type, elephant fruit, ancient species, and mammoth form in his hand to admire.

A devil fruit grown in ancient times, this is a rare item.

The Beast Pirates he just established currently only has two ancient species, one Jhin and one Quinn...

Most of the rest are ordinary animals. With this Devil Fruit, he is one step closer to his goal of creating the Beasts Pirates.

"Boss Kaido, we took a picture of this mammoth fruit. We may not have enough money. The remaining phantom beast seed..."

"Jhin, you really underestimate this auction. There are many old guys here, all of whom are acquaintances of ours! They will not allow the Devil Fruit to fall into the hands of others." Kaido packed the Mammoth Fruit Return to the box.

He bared his teeth and looked at the other rooms.

He had a hunch that this auction would not end so easily...
