"What's so sure about this? Those two people sitting together are a gang. Just arrest them!"
Then, Akainu raised his hand when Goatee Man asked for the last time if anyone wanted to increase the price, and said directly, "Two billion!"
Chapter 76 Alabasta: Oh, Akainu, long time no see
Akainu's two billion made the whole audience gasp.
"Um? Is this Devil Fruit so popular? I thought there was only one bastard who would directly increase the price by 500 million, but I didn't expect there was another one..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I thought I was rich enough, but I didn't expect, I didn't expect, there are people outside the world, so I'm convinced."
"Ah, if I had the funds, I would ask the same price, but unfortunately, I don't know how to do it."
"I really envy these guys who have money and can spend it freely..."
Buffalo ignored these voices and looked back dissatisfied at the guy who was bidding two billion.
Due to the lighting problem, Buffalo only thought Akainu's face looked familiar and did not immediately recognize who it was.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Do you have to fight with me Flame-Flame Fruit?" Buffalo asked in an unhappy tone.
Akainu sneered, "Why, you can only bid, but I can't?"
Buffalo gritted his teeth and almost couldn't help but want to get up and beat this guy.
Monet quickly grabbed him and said softly, "Forget it, the young master told us to keep a low profile and buy Flame-Flame Fruit, and don't make too much noise."
Buffalo said angrily, "Obviously, that guy just wants to go against us. He actually imitated us and added 500 million at a time. Humph! I want to see who else here is richer than us Donquixote Family!"
As he said that, Buffalo immediately raised his hand and said politely, "Twenty-five billion!"
Akainu frowned and raised his hand again. "Three billion."
"Three, three billion?" Goatee Man felt as if his heart was beating out of his chest and asked excitedly, "Guests sitting in the back row, did you pay three billion?"
"Humph, do you doubt me?" Akainu asked funnyly.
"No, no, no, as long as you pay." Goatee Man immediately rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
"This is bad..." Monet frowned, "If we hadn't brought Flame-Flame Fruit back, we would have been scolded."
"Damn it!" Buffalo stood up from his seat angrily, turned to face Akainu, tried his best to restrain his emotions, and gritted his teeth, "I advise you, it's best not to go against me, otherwise, I can't guarantee what the consequences will be."
Akainu sneered, "Okay, then let me see what you are capable of."
"You..." Buffalo pointed at Akainu and looked at Monet, "Monet, you see, it's not that I don't want to keep a low profile, but someone wants to go against us."
If the Devil Fruit auction venue was in another Small Island, Doflamingo's men and Akainu could have just robbed it if they disagreed, but the auction venue happened to be Yuba, the largest trading center in Alabasta.
Alabasta is a superpower that is watched by all parties. Doflamingo has just become the king of Dressrosa, and Akainu is the navy. If Alabasta fighting over Devil Fruit is a bit ugly. Although Akainu doesn't care about losing face, once it becomes news and is reported, it will easily have a bad impact on the navy.
After all, Akainu is still a person who extremely upholds the dignity of the navy. No matter how decisive and cruel he is, he will not be ambiguous on certain important matters.
The other guests in Auction choked when they saw these two people, and they all looked like a crowd. Some even expected that these two people would really fight.
Lin Mo and Red-Hair are also like watching a play.
Red-Hair raised the corner of his mouth and whispered, "It seems that the situation is getting more and more interesting. Lin Mo, should we also fight for Flame-Flame Fruit?"
Lin Mo said speechlessly, "No..."
You, a guy like Pirate, who doesn't have a single ability user on board Pirate, would be interested in Devil Fruit?
Of course, the previous Gum-Gum Fruit is an exception.
But after Gum-Gum Fruit was mistakenly eaten by Luffy, it is estimated that Red-Hair is no longer interested in Devil Fruit.
"Hahaha." Red-Hair laughed, "Yes, even if we have that desire to compete, it will be in vain without money. However, it is really surprising that this guy Akainu can actually sit here calmly."
"Buffalo, please calm down first, we can't do anything here." Monet forced Buffalo to sit back and said softly, "Young Master just now In power Dressrosa, we can't cause trouble in Alabasta, Flame-Flame Fruit just give it to that guy first, and when they get out, we will find a way to snatch it back."
"Huh! This is the only way." Buffalo looked directly at Goatee Man and said, "I am giving up the photo!"
His words made the people around him sigh with dissatisfaction. They thought that even if there was no fight, there would be an earth-shattering quarrel, but in the end there was nothing...
Goatee Man said with a smile, "Since this gentleman will not increase the price, will other customers have to increase the price? If not, this Devil Fruit will be taken away by the gentleman wearing a hat sitting in the last row."
Seeing that no one raised the bid, Goatee Man announced, "Okay, this auction is officially over. Everyone, you can leave in an orderly manner. Please ask the gentleman who took the photo of Devil Fruit. After paying the auction price, you can leave with Devil Fruit."
For each auction item, the person who wins the auction pays on the spot and takes the auction item directly. The previous auction items have already been taken away by their buyers.
Akainu glanced at Navy Subordinate sitting next to him.
Navy Subordinate nodded, immediately got up and ran towards the display stand.
"We are going around from the front, are we being too deliberate?" Red-Hair glanced at Akainu who was sitting on Entrance, and asked with a headache.
It would be most convenient for him and Lin Mo to walk directly from this row to the entrance, but in this case, they would have to pass in front of Akainu, and then Red-Hair would definitely be recognized by Akainu.
But if you go around from the front, it will look very deliberate and arouse Akainu's suspicion.
Just when Red-Hair was still thinking about how to get out.
Lin Mo suddenly stood up and walked directly to the door in front of him.
Red-Hair just watched him leave step by step.
Lin Mo walked past Akainu calmly.
Akainu glanced at him sullenly, and for some reason, he felt an indescribable strange feeling.
As soon as he turned his eyes, he discovered the two knives hanging on Lin Mo's waist, one of which was actually Kitetsu!
"Kid." When Lin Mo was about to pass by him, Akainu suddenly called him, "Where did you get your knife?"
Lin Mo ignored him and left Auction directly.
"Tch." Akainu said disdainfully, "How arrogant!"
Red-Hair looked dumbfounded as he watched Lin Mo go out. "This guy really just left without caring about me..."
But that's okay, if Akainu really discovers it, it won't involve the troublesome guy.
Thinking of this, Red-Hair was relieved and didn't bother to take the long way around. He stood up directly, with a smile on his lips, and walked calmly towards the door where Akainu was.
When he passed by Akainu, and Akainu's eyes gradually changed when he looked at him, Red-Hair raised his hand and took the initiative to say hello, "Hey, Akainu, long time no see."
Chapter 77 Alabasta: Akainu vs Red-Hair
Akainu was sitting there, waiting for his men to bring Flame-Flame Fruit over.
Unexpectedly, Red-Hair, whom he thought he had seen wrongly, walked past him in such a swaggering manner and even said hello to him?
How arrogant!
Akainu stood up immediately and steam started to come out of his body.
Red-Hair At first glance, this guy obviously wants to fight him.
He had no intention of fighting and immediately ran away without saying anything more.
"Shanks, let me see where you are running!" Akainu's face darkened and he was about to chase after her.
The Navy Subordinate people around him quickly stopped him. "Admiral, this is the most prosperous trading center in Alabasta. We can't do anything here, otherwise we will be gossiped about."
"We are the navy, and that guy is Pirate. It is natural for the navy to arrest Pirate. Let's see who dares to gossip!" Akainu pushed away Navy Subordinate who was blocking him, and chased him out in elemental form.
Akainu is magma Devil Fruit User, which can elementalize the body and turn it into hot lava. Normal attacks are ineffective against it. Its high temperature can even easily melt the ground.
At this time, he had turned most of his body into lava and quickly chased in the direction Red-Hair was running. However, wherever he touched, it would inevitably be destroyed and leave a big hole.
Buffalo and Monet originally wanted to wait for the person who snatched the Flame-Flame Fruit they wanted to take to go out, and then find an opportunity to snatch it away.
But when they saw that the person who was snatching the fruit from them was actually Devil Fruit User, and had also turned into magma, the next person's name appeared in their minds.
"Is it Marine Admiral Akainu?" Buffalo said in surprise.
Monet's expression was not very good. "I didn't expect that for a Devil Fruit, Marine Admiral was actually dispatched...Buffalo, Flame-Flame Fruit we can't get it, Marine Admiral is beyond our ability to deal with, let's report the situation here to the young master first."
Buffalo nodded helplessly. "This is the only way..."
"Hey, Akainu, I'm not here to fight with you." Red-Hair ran ahead, dumbfounded.
Akainu followed behind with a stern face. "I am a navy, and there is no need for a reason to arrest Pirate! Since you dare to appear in front of me, be prepared to be arrested."
Because it was night and not a holiday, there were very few pedestrians on the Yuba street, which made the chase between the two easier.
Akainu was very measured and did not launch a direct attack on the street of Yuba.
Red-Hair discovered this, so he started running around in the streets and alleys of Yuba.
Akainu was really tired of chasing him. When Red-Hair ran to a slightly larger street, he immediately stretched out his lava-turned arms and attacked his body at a speed that Red-Hair couldn't dodge.
"You are serious." Red-Hair immediately stopped, drew out his saber Griffon, faced Akainu's Magma Fist head-on, and suddenly blocked the blow with the blade.
A powerful heat wave suddenly spread out from the center where Magma Fist and Griffon collided, shattering all the unoccupied stalls lying around.
If it were an ordinary knife, it would have been melted by the lava of Akainu.
But Griffon of Red-Hair is Famous Sword. In addition, Red-Hair itself is very strong. It is not difficult to withstand the blow of Akainu.
"Akainu, I don't want to fight you." Red-Hair frowned slightly and pushed Akainu's Magma Fist back.
"It's not up to you to fight or not!" Akainu immediately turned his arm into lava again, then changed the lava-turned arm into the shape of a dog's head and extended his lava-turned limbs to attack Red-Hair again.
This move is Dog Biting Crimson Lotus, which is very powerful, and Akainu can control the dog head made of lava to bite the enemy when attacking.
"You guys are really..." Red-Hair watched with a headache as Dog Biting Crimson Lotus came towards him menacingly. He sighed helplessly and turned Griffon's blade slightly, just as he was preparing to attack.
A sharp shout drew Red-Hair's attention.
"No!" A woman wrapped in a headscarf quickly rushed towards the little girl who was crying loudly and was about to be hit by a broken stall limb.
But her speed couldn't catch up with the speed of the wooden thorn flying towards the girl.
Seeing that the girl was about to be hit by the wooden thorn, Red-Hair immediately changed direction without saying a word, ducked, appeared next to the girl, and easily chopped the wooden thorn away.
At the same time, Akainu's Dog Biting Crimson Lotus actually followed the movement trajectory of Red-Hair, turned a corner, and still quickly attacked the target Red-Hair.
Red-Hair immediately picked up the little girl and threw it to her mother. "Quickly go!"
The girl's mother hugged the girl and bowed to Red-Hair, then quickly ran away with small steps as if running for her life.
And Akainu's attack has already arrived in front of Red-Hair.
Red-Hair was preparing to fight back when Dog Biting Crimson Lotus's dog head bit him on his left shoulder.
Seeing that his arm was about to be bitten off, Red-Hair didn't even frown, picked up Griffon, and cut off Magma Dog Head like tofu.
Akainu's hand quickly returned to its original shape. Although the elemental hand was cut off by the enemy's attack, his hand was not really broken, and most of the attacks would not cause substantial damage to him. However, Red-Hair's seemingly simple blow cut his hand.
Looking at the blood stain on the back of his right hand, Akainu couldn't help but frown.
And Magma Dog Head biting Red-Hair's shoulder gradually dissipated when it was cut off by Red-Hair.
Red-Hair glanced at his already bloody shoulder and couldn't help but joked, "Oh, it didn't stop like this. It seems that my luck is pretty good."
Akainu snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! Shanks, if I give you another chance, just surrender and I won't kill you."
Shanks scratched his head, bared his teeth and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I didn't intend to be caught by you so easily."
"Okay, since you don't cooperate, then you can die here."
As he spoke, Akainu turned his arm into lava again.
Red-Hair When he was preparing to attack again, not far away, a small figure walking and drinking appeared in front of him.
Lin Mo?
Red-Hair was stunned for a moment, then curled up his lips and without saying a word, he immediately ran in the direction of Lin Mo.
Akainu also noticed Lin Mo.
Isn't that the arrogant kid in Auction?
By the way, this kid seems to have been sitting with Shanks before. It seems that they are in the same group!
Akainu narrowed his eyes slightly, and without hesitation launched Dog Biting Crimson Lotus again, attacking in the direction of Shanks and Lin Mo.
Lin Mo Originally planned to find a hotel to stay.
Who would have thought that Yuba is so big that if I just walk around, I can actually encounter Red-Hair and Akainu fighting...
When he saw Red-Hair running towards him happily, followed by Magma Dog Head.
