Faced with their impotent rage, Chaos couldn't care less.
About ten minutes after the auction house's staff brought in some fruit, the auction officially began.
Through Observation Haki, he sensed quite a few big shots in the venue.
"Welcome, everyone, to this auction! I'm your auctioneer, Yis!"
The lights in the hall dimmed. A stunningly alluring mature woman walked out from backstage. Her most impressive assets were at least a 36E, making her the undisputed queen of cleavage.

And its opening bid was just one berry.
Some nobles sneered. To them, this Devil Fruit wasn't worth as much as a pretty female slave or a strong
