From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, fierce bidding sounds came from below.

"I'll pay 1.2 million!"

"Poor bastard! I'll give you 1.6 million!"

"I'll pay two million!"

"..."

After a fierce competition, the famous sword "White Frost" was sold for 3.2 million.

Those who were bidding now were all sitting in the ordinary seats, while the representatives of various major forces in the VIP room were all looking at this scene with a dull look.

After the first lot of auction ends.

A beautiful woman quickly brought the second item.

Then the third, then the fourth...

The types of items for auction are very diverse, ranging from famous swords and guns, to bulk goods such as rare minerals, to luxury items such as antiques and gems.

During this period, at Xia Jieren's signal, Gate took action and took a picture of the treasure map.

This treasure map is said to record the treasure location of Hart, the pirate overlord of the West Sea a hundred years ago.

He didn't know whether it was true or not. Seeing the mocking looks in everyone's eyes, Xia Jieren was unsure.

"But fortunately it's not expensive. I can buy it for two million Baileys and just treat it as opening a blind box." Xia Jieren thought.

The auction continues.

Gate and others began to cheer up gradually.

Because after the next lot is auctioned, it will be the finale lot - Fruits of the Fortified City.

"Huh~, I didn't expect the Treasure Tree Adam to appear here." Xia Jieren said in surprise: "I just don't know if it came from the Kingdom of Elgia."

In the end, the Adam's tree log, which was ten meters long and one meter in diameter, was sold for 2 million Baileys.

Finally, it’s time for the finale product to appear.

"Ahem! I believe most people are here for the Parahuman-type Castle Fruit."

"I won't waste any time here, I'll just start the bidding at a low price of 2 million."

The auctioneer looked around with a smile and started the auction directly.

The people in the VIP room and in the audience all sat up straight, they also wanted to see who would get the devil fruit.

"4 million Baileys!" Gate raised the sign and spoke first.

The auction hall fell silent in an instant. No one expected that someone would double the price right away.

The auctioneer was stunned for a moment, then a smile immediately broke out on his face. He picked up the auction hammer and knocked it lightly: "4 million Baileys once!"

Soon, someone reacted and shouted, "4 million!"

The other people in the VIP room also came to their senses, glanced meaningfully at the box where Gate was, and immediately started bidding.

"4 million!"

"4 million!"

"5 million!"

"6 million!"

"6 million!"

The price of the fruit of the fortress is rising rapidly.

"8 million!"

When the price reached 800 million, Capone Becky slammed the table angrily: "Damn it!"

He took a deep puff of his cigar and said grimly, "Implement Plan B!"

"Yes!" Witt replied seriously.

Then he and Gotti went downstairs to make preparations.

Capone Becky looked at the people who were bidding and sneered twice, as if he was watching a clown show.

"10 million!"

"One billion at a time! Is there anyone else who wants to continue bidding?" the auctioneer shouted excitedly.

"One billion and fifty million!" Gate followed.

"12 billion!" Beads of sweat appeared on Elliot Lindsay's forehead.

"13 billion!" Gate continued to raise the price.

"13 billion!" Elliot Lindsay's momentum was much weaker this time.

"14 billion!" Count David Carter of the Golden Lion Empire intervened.

"One billion four hundred and fifty million!" Elliot Lindsay heard the familiar voice and guessed who was bidding against him, and he said without showing any weakness.

"15 billion!" Earl David Carter quoted slowly.

"15 million!"

"16 million!"

"..."

Everyone watched the tug of war between the two sides in silence, their expressions extremely excited.

The five major mafia families and various kingdoms had already put down their bidding cards when the price exceeded 10 billion.

There is no way. Not every force can easily come up with 1 billion Baileys.

"18 billion!" Elliot Lindsay wiped the sweat from his forehead and said through gritted teeth.

This time Lord David Carter did not follow.

"18 billion...at one time!" the auctioneer shouted slowly.

His behavior made Elliot Lindsay and others hate him to death.

"18 billion..." Before he could shout it out twice, Gate raised his sign and said, "20 billion!"

There was an uproar in the auction hall, and everyone looked towards the VIP room where Gate was in disbelief.

They all speculated who the person was who offered such a high price.

The auctioneer was delighted and said, "Two billion! Anyone else wants to bid? This is the Parahuman-type Castle Fruit?"

"Two billion... once."

Looking at the surprised expressions of the people in the audience, Xia Jieren felt extremely happy.

"It turns out that the feeling of spending a lot of money is so refreshing!" Xia Jieren closed his eyes and savored the memory.

"Damn it! Who is it?" Elliot Lindsay angrily smashed all the furniture in the VIP room.

Upon seeing this, the subordinates lowered their heads and remained silent.

No matter how angry he was, he could not change the fact that the Fruit of the Fortified City was about to fall into the hands of others.

"Two billion...twice."

The auctioneer knocked on the table and looked around to see if anyone wanted to raise the price.

But he was overthinking it. 20 billion Beli was far more than the value of the Fortified City Fruit, and only Xia Jieren was not short of money.

Because to him, the value of the Fortified City Fruit is much greater than that of waste paper like Bailey.

"Two billion three times."

Seeing that no one bid any more, the auctioneer struck the final hammer.

"Congratulations to this bidder for winning the Fruit of the Fortified City! Please go backstage to pay the fee." The auctioneer congratulated with a smile.

Hearing this, everyone looked at the VIP room where Gate was with an expression of watching a good show.

Everyone knows that although this auction seems to be over, it is not over yet.

They wanted to see if Gate and the others could leave safely after taking pictures of the Fortified City Fruit.

The news quickly spread to the outside world and everyone in the VIP room.

Everyone knows that it was people from the Kingdom of the Netherlands who bought the Fruit of the Fortified City.

They envied and said, "Damn the dog tycoon!"

Some people even had greedy looks in their eyes, as if they wanted to bite off a piece of meat from the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Don't expect an auction house controlled by the five major Mafia families to maintain confidentiality.

"My Lord! A fight may break out soon. Do you want to leave first?" Gate suggested.

"Okay! Then I won't cause you any more trouble." Xia Jieren directly broke away from the insect man's body.

He continued to watch every move of Gate and others in his mind net.

Led by the waiter, Gate and others came to the backstage.

At the same time, people from other forces each had their own plans and began to make active preparations.

As for what to prepare, it goes without saying. Of course, it is to seize the fruits of the fortified city.

A navy soldier asked cautiously: "Vice Admiral Cowan, what should we do? Do we need to help the Kingdom of the Netherlands?"

"Help? Why should I help?" Kewan asked back.
