"Inferior creatures~"
In addition to the people who were obviously pirates, there were also a large number of wealthy nobles who came to the auction.
It's just that none of them have much interest in Devil Fruits, especially an animal-type Devil Fruit that has been sold at this price, otherwise they might have bought it for their guards to eat.
People in the upper class don't bother to eat devil fruits.
Now, all you have to do is watch these scum fight over each other.
"400 million! Someone has reached 400 million now!"
"Is there anyone who offers a higher price?"
"Although this is just an animal-type Devil Fruit, the fact that it is not recorded in the illustrated book proves its rare origin!"
"You can have a great future by spending hundreds of millions of Beli on one bet. What are you waiting for!"
The host originally thought that this devil fruit could be sold for one billion, but he did not expect to overestimate the purchasing power of these pirates. After all, there are only a handful of people who can easily spend hundreds of millions of beans.
But the main force, the rich, were watching the excitement, and it was really troublesome to see them not showing any interest in this animal devil fruit!
Just then, a voice from the front row said, "500 million berries!"
"Asshole! Who dares to ruin my good deeds!"
The captain of the Snow Wolf Pirates suddenly stood up. The high price of 500 million berries had exceeded the savings of his entire pirate group. In other words, he was out!
"Are you talking to me?"
Luo Qing turned his head coldly.
Just as the captain of the Snow Wolf Pirates was about to say something cruel, the frightened vice-captain strangled his neck and covered his mouth.
"You want to die! That's the 'Faceless' Luo Qing of the Qibuhai!"
Hearing the frightened whispers of the vice-captain, he stopped struggling and immediately left the venue in a panic.
It is said that people are reflected in the shadow of famous trees, and this kind of big shot is not something he can provoke.
As the Snow Wolf Pirates fled, the auction site also fell into a brief silence. Although the man just lowered his voice deliberately, he was still heard by the people next to him. No matter the pirates or the rich and nobles, they didn't want to be heard by him. Keep an eye on.
At this time, the host also noticed the identity of the bidder, and cold sweat broke out on his head.
“With no one calling out the price for so long, is it time for the hammer to drop?”
"Yes, yes! The first time in 500 million berries..."
"Deal! This Devil Fruit is yours!"
Spending 500 million beli in exchange for a useless animal-type Devil Fruit is not a loss for Luo Qing. After all, he needs Krypton Fruit to become stronger. Being able to exchange money for Devil Fruit is a sure profit.
The appearance of Luo Qing also caused a certain degree of silence. It was helpless that several slaves auctioned later did not reach the price the host wanted.
But as everyone discovered that Luo Qing fell silent after taking the first Devil Fruit, and that the 'items' in the subsequent auctions became increasingly rare, the enthusiasm of the rich and nobles was once again aroused.
Murlocs, giants, fur tribes, long-armed tribes...
One after another, wearing handcuffs and shackles, looking numb and desperate, they were brought to the booth for people to choose from.
"captain!"
"I know, but it's not time to take action yet. Even if we rescue all these slaves today, it won't solve the problem."
Not only was Yi Xiao so angry that he could hardly help but take action, even Nami and the others were shocked by the scene in front of them and could only hold their hands tightly.
But just like Luo Qing said, even if they took the risk to rescue people, it would be of no avail. There would still be a large number of slave trades every day. Could they save everyone
If they don't solve the problem fundamentally, everything they do will be in vain!
"Should we really let those self-proclaimed righteous marines see that such disgusting and cruel things happened under their noses and no one cared about it?" Nami, who felt the same way, looked very angry!
"Without the permission of the World Government, do you think these merchants would dare to carry out slave trade so blatantly? As long as the Celestial Dragons control the world, the things we saw today will continue to happen!"
"Can we just watch helplessly?"
well! Luo Qing sighed. He admitted that he was not a good person, but if he did nothing at this time, it would be difficult to lead the team in the future.
So he started to raise his hands frequently to increase the price. Since it's not easy to do it, just buy them all!
Anyone who increases the price after he raises his hand will immediately use his 'death stare' until the other person chooses to give up while wiping away cold sweat.
With such a great master like him causing trouble here, this auction has almost become a one-man show for him. No one dares to continue to challenge his prestige under the threat of his eyes, and can only watch helplessly as he pays the lowest price. Auction after auction success.
Every time the hammer falls, the host's heart bleeds!
This auction can be regarded as a huge shame in his career!
But if the reserve price is temporarily changed or the 'goods' are replaced, the reputation of their auction will be ruined. It is really a dilemma!
It wasn't until an extremely rare and rare three-eyed clan member was bought by Luo Qing without saying a word that the forces behind the auction finally couldn't sit still.
"Lord Luo Qing, my master invites you to meet me backstage."
An aristocratic butler in his 60s came to Luo Qing's side and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
Luo Qing didn't even look at him, "I don't have time. If he has anything to say, let him come to see me by himself."
"this... "
Seeing that Luo Qing showed no respect at all, the housekeeper had no choice but to step back and report.
After a while, a pot-bellied guy came over with a smile on his face.
"I am the owner of this auction house. I don't know where I have offended you, but I hope you will make it clear." The visitor went directly to the topic. If he delays for a while, he will really hit the wall!
"I conducted the auction according to the rules, so why should I offend you?"
"Don't worry, the money I should give you will be worth every penny." Luo Qing replied calmly, and took a photo of another slave.
The visitor's expression changed and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know the power behind this auction? Even if you are a Shichibukai, you can't ignore the influence of the Tianlong people, right?"
"Haha, it just so happens that I don't know what it's like to fight with Tianlong. How about you help me contact him?" Luo Qing squinted his eyes and replied disdainfully.
The man gave Luo Qing a dumbfounded look, angry and helpless. If something happened because he notified the Tianlong people behind him, he would die in an ugly way. He didn't dare to gamble, and he couldn't gamble!
"As long as you stop causing trouble, I can decide to give you the unauctioned Devil Fruit for free."
"No need, I will get it myself!"
