Beautiful.
Gorgeous.
A miracle.
The most exquisitely crafted perfect creatures in nature.
Chaos was stunned, to say nothing of everyone else.
The entire hall of nobles and tycoons erupted.
They were a mother and daughter pair of shortfin mako mermaids. Even on Fish-Man Island, they were exceedingly rare. This auction had managed to capture not just one, but two—and most importantly, they were mother and daughter.
That fact alone would send the price soaring.
Honestly, if he could, Chaos wouldn't have minded exploring the origins of life with the mature, aloof mermaid.
After all, this wasn't some legend from his previous life. These mermaids truly existed, and they had tails.
Their features were so exquisite that, in his previous life, they would have been the most beautiful women on Earth. That was simply undeniable.
"Please, quiet down."
On the raised platform, Yis tapped the gavel in her hand.
The noisy hall fell silent. Many people sat down excitedly, their faces flushed as they stared at the two mermaids with greedy eyes.
"These are a mother and daughter pair of shortfin mako mermaids, a rare species even among mermaids. Most importantly, they're mother and daughter, so the opening bid is three hundred million berries."
Good grief, that was more than an ordinary Devil Fruit.
That was the advantage of being a rare species.
Yis had also placed heavy emphasis on the words "mother and daughter," as if hinting at something!
That only made the nobles and tycoons more excited.
"Five hundred million!"
"Six hundred and fifty million!"
"Six hundred and seventy million!"
"Seven hundred million!"
"Seven hundred and thirty million!"
The hall erupted once more. In just a minute, the price had climbed past seven hundred million.
In the eyes of these nobles and tycoons, mermaids were worth more than Devil
