The night passed peacefully, and the next day, Rocks took Ruth to stroll around the Sabaody Archipelago for half a day, and then took her to the auction house in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Today, Rocks was wearing a black casual top, black shorts, a pair of flip-flops, and a long sword hanging around his waist.
The whole person looks young, handsome and fashionable.
Ruth was so happy when she saw Rocks wearing the clothes she bought.
All the way there, Ruth looked like she was infatuated with him.
The two of them walked slowly to the entrance of the auction venue.
"Hello, sir."
The security guard at the door politely blocked Rocks' way.
"Today's auction requires proof of your property."
Rocks glanced at the security guard in surprise.
"Property certificate?"
As a great pirate, he didn't think he had any proof of property.
Ruth glanced at the security guard unhappily and pulled out a stack of Rocks' bounty warrants from her bosom.
"Let me take a good look at who the man in front of you is!"
Ruth pulled out a bounty warrant for Rocks and slapped it directly on the security guard's face.
The security guard picked up the reward warrant, took a look at it, and immediately fell to the ground in fear.
"Lo, Lo, Lox!"
Ruth glanced at the security guard who fell to the ground in fear, snorted coldly, held Rocks' arm and walked straight in.
The security guard looked at the reward order in his hand with trembling eyes.
"The great pirate Rocks has actually landed in the Sabaody Archipelago! No! We must inform the higher-ups immediately! Today's auction cannot fail!"
As he said that, the security guard stood up with the help of the wall and quickly ran towards the auction house's office.
Rocks took Ruth to a quiet corner of the auction venue and sat down. He took the auction list handed over by the waitress and looked at it.
"Oh? There's actually a big sharp sword for auction."
When Rocks saw the large sharp knife being auctioned on the auction list, he became obviously interested.
In addition to the big sword, Rocks also saw some other things that interested him.
What interested him most was the devil fruit and a strange giant.
The reason why it is said to be strange is that, according to the giant's introduction, this giant is only six meters tall. Compared with those tall giants who are often more than ten or twenty meters tall, he can only be considered short.
The reason why he is called a giant is that he was captured by the slave-hunting team after going through untold hardships in the Giant Kingdom of Elbaf in the New World.
The information gave a detailed description of the other party's appearance, and also explained that this short giant possessed extremely terrifying power.
According to the slave-hunting team, this little giant has the strength to easily carry a fifty-meter-long warship.
Rocks came today because he suddenly saw a report about this little giant in the newspaper last night, so he brought Ruth here.
As time passed slowly, more and more people came into the auction hall.
In a short while, the entire auction venue was filled with people.
"The Holy Lord Antefiru has arrived! Everyone kneel down to welcome him!"
Just as Rocks and Ruth were waiting for the auction to begin, a sharp voice rang out from the door.
After hearing these words, everyone in the auction hall stood up from their seats and then knelt on the ground.
No matter who they are, they are nothing in front of the Celestial Dragons.
The person in charge of the auction venue followed Antefei Lusheng very attentively and introduced him to today's auction items.
Rocks and Ruth, who were sitting in a quiet corner, did not make any other movements. They just watched quietly as the fat and bloated man with a glass cover on his head and a space suit slowly walked to the front row and sat down.
"Alright, Brand, let's start the auction quickly! I can't wait to see that giant!"
Saint Antefei Lu said to Brand, the person in charge of the auction.
Hearing the words of the Celestial Dragon Antefilusheng, Brand folded his hands and nodded in a very servile manner.
He quickly ran to the auction table and announced the official start of the auction.
The people who were kneeling on the ground also stood up and returned to their seats, chatting happily.
"Is that the Celestial Dragon? They look really disgusting."
Ruth looked at the bloated and greasy body of the Celestial Dragon Antfei Lusheng and said with some disgust.
"Well, they are just a bunch of pampered losers after all."
Rocks also has no good feelings towards the Celestial Dragons.
"Well, ladies and gentlemen! It is a great honor to meet you all here today."
Brand began an emotional opening speech.
"Finally, let us warmly welcome Saint Antefeilu to our Shampoo Auction House!"
As he said this, he started to applaud enthusiastically.
Under his leadership, the entire auction venue burst into applause.
Saint Antefirul sat in his seat with great pride.
In his mind, all this was taken for granted.
The applause lasted for half an hour before slowly dying down.
When the applause completely died down, Brand finally announced the start of the auction.
"Okay, now, let's start the auction!"
"First, let's put the first item up for auction!"
"Twin sisters from the Long-Handed Tribe!"
"As a rare species of long-armed people, this pair of sisters are the most beautiful of this generation!"
"Starting price: five million Baileys!"
After Brand finished his introduction, a pair of extremely beautiful girls walked onto the auction stage, trembling with fear and with despair on their faces, as they were pushed and shoved by security personnel.
When they saw the appearance of the two sisters, all the men at the scene's eyes flickered.
"I'll give you 5.5 million Baileys!"
"Humph! I'll give you six million Baileys!"
"Asshole! I want this pair of sisters. I'll pay 8 million Baileys!"
After a short while, the auction price of the two sisters was 13 million Baileys and they were bought by a fat and ugly man.
The fat and ugly man happily paid the money, took the sisters away and kept them by his side.
Looking at the pair of sisters, his eyes were filled with desire.
After the appetizer, many good auction items were put on the market and were all bought by the wealthy people.
Finally, under Rocks' expectant gaze, an incomparably beautiful long sword was brought to the auction floor.
"The next auction item is a famous sword that our auction house brought out after much trouble from that legendary country with countless samurai!"
"The Great Sword ranked 21st in the Great Swords category, Zangetsu!"
"That's right! It's the big, sharp sword that all swordsmen dream of!"
"Alright! Let's start now! The starting price is thirty million Baileys!"
As soon as Brand finished speaking, the entire auction hall fell into noise.
With a big, sharp sword like this, it doesn't matter whether you are a swordsman or not.
After all, being able to collect a big sharp knife is a very face-saving thing.
"I'll give you 35 million Baileys!"
"Forty million Baileys!"
"Fifty million Baileys!"
As more and more people participated in the auction, the price of Zhan Yue also soared.
Rocks looked at the pitch-black sword and liked it more and more.
Ruth obviously felt Rocks' favor, and she raised her bidding badge directly.
"One hundred million Baileys!"
The entire auction venue fell into silence as Ruth finished speaking.
Although collecting a big sharp sword is a very prestigious thing, in their opinion, it is not worth spending 100 million Baileys to get it.
After Brand received Ruth's offer of 100 million Baileys, he almost jumped up with excitement.
"That lady offered 100 million Baileys! Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"
"One hundred million Baileys once! Twice! Three times!"
"Congratulations to the beautiful lady who has obtained this great sword, Zangetsu, which is one of only twenty-one in the world! Let us congratulate her!"
Soon, the service staff brought Zangetsu to Ruth.
Ruth took Zangetsu and handed it to Rocks.
"Here! Rocks, this is my gift to you!"
Rocks took Zangetsu and pulled him out of the scabbard.
The jet-black blade, the swastika guard, and the slender blade looked incredibly beautiful.
"It's a nice gift, I like it very much. Thank you, Ruth."
Putting the long sword back into the sheath, Rocks thanked Ruth.
Ruth paid the money happily and looked at Rocks with a satisfied look on her face.
"Hey, as long as you like it."
After Zhan Yue finished the auction and collected the auction money, he auctioned off several more items one after another.
Finally, it’s time for the last few items.
Brand looked at everyone present who were becoming visibly more excited.
"Alright! Next, it's time for the auction item everyone has been waiting for! The secret treasure of the sea! The rare and precious devil fruit!"
"This is an ancient animal-type devil fruit that is rare even among devil fruits! Stegosaurus form!"
"Eat it, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, you can instantly become a person with special abilities, a strong person who can easily control the lives of others!"
"Alright, everyone! Start your bidding now! Starting price: 100 million Baileys!"
As soon as Brand finished speaking, the entire auction hall went crazy.
Many people dressed as pirates began to threaten others present without any hesitation.
However, no one present cared whether the other party was a pirate or not.
They still offered prices madly regardless of the consequences, wanting to put the devil fruit into their own pockets.
Soon, the starting price of the devil fruit, which was 100 million Beli, was raised to 500 million Beli.
Rocks continued to meet people at the venue with a smile on his face.
"Rose, remember who got the devil fruit in the end."
"Haha! Don't worry! Rocks, my memory is very good!"
In the end, the devil fruit was bought by a man who looked like a noble at a high price of 800 million Beli.
All the people dressed as pirates present turned their eyes to the noble man.
The noble man paid no attention to those looks, and even looked at the pirates provocatively, throwing the devil fruit casually to the guards behind him.
It seems to be telling those pirates that what you want to get is just a fruit that can be thrown away at will in my eyes.
Rocks didn't care about the noble man's provocative behavior. He couldn't wait to see what would happen to this noble man.
The noise caused by the devil fruit slowly subsided after the auction.
"Finally, let's present the final item! The Giant from the Kingdom of Giants, Elbaf!"
"Although they are only six meters tall, they possess more powerful strength than ordinary giants!"
"If you get him, you will have an extremely powerful bodyguard, slave, and servant!"
"Okay, I won't say any more nonsense! I'll bring the items up here, and you can see for yourself."
"The auction begins now. Starting price: 500 million Baileys!"
After Brand finished speaking, a six-meter-tall, extremely sturdy and strong man, with a naked upper body, full of explosive muscles, tied up with chains all over his body, and a hideous and crazy face was pushed onto the stage by more than a dozen security personnel.
"roar!!!"
"You despicable little people!"
The man continued to roar, yelling at everyone present.
However, after being injected with a sedative, he did not have the strength to break free of the chains that bound him.
When Rocks saw the little giant, a smile appeared on his face.
"Nice momentum, I want this guy."
