"Eight hundred million!"
This price has far exceeded the actual value of this batch of timber, and in this enthusiastic atmosphere, the conglomerates and chambers of commerce have become completely absorbed in it.
Eight hundred and fifty million!
Nine hundred million Beli!
Once the figure of nine hundred million was set, the fighting in the private room fell silent.
"Nine hundred million Beli, first time! Nine hundred million, second time! Third time! Sold!"
The auctioneer's gavel fell, his voice trembling with excitement, "Congratulations to the guest in Box Number Three for winning the Divine Adam Wood!"
As the host finished speaking, the entire venue fell silent. There was no applause, only countless gazes, a mixture of shock and greed, fixed on Adam Wood in the hall.
Those with real power are all secretly preparing, just waiting for the first person who can't hold back to make the first move.
The atmosphere in the venue is like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.
Some astute individuals, sensing the unfavorable situation, quietly rose and left the meeting.
Outside the venue, the Marine Admiral, Sengoku, and Zephyr were already in position, and the mid-level officers had arranged for soldiers to surround the entire auction hall.
The young Kuzan approached the two Admiral.
" Admiral Sengoku, Master Zephyr, the encirclement is complete, and the surrounding civilians have all been evacuated. Shall we launch an attack?"
"Let's wait a little longer! There are still quite a few nobles in the venue who haven't left. The CP (couple) in the venue will send out information later."
Sengoku glanced at the auction house in the distance, at the entrance to the venue.
Inside the venue, Roy sensed the situation of everyone present. The people in Box Number Three were happily heading to the center of the room to complete the handover.
"Bang!"
An impatient pirate captain, with a powerful leap, charged into the arena.
The atmosphere in the room changed.
As the pirate captain's figure swept past Kaido, Kaido, gripping his spiked club, immediately stood up and swung it, creating gusts of wind.
"What!"
In the captain's astonished gaze, it was as if he himself had run into the spiked club.
"Boom!"
The pirate's body arched like a bowstring about to snap, then he flew backward, crashing through the walls of the venue and kicking up a cloud of dust.
A red light flashed in Roy's eyes, foreseeing what was about to happen. Just as the pirate captain made his move, Roy immediately ordered Tesoro to attack.
"Attack! Tesoro!"
Before Roy could finish speaking, Tesoro transformed into lightning, his figure flashing as he appeared beside Adam Wood the moment Kaido's spiked club touched the pirate captain.
He opened the storage bag in his hand and put the wood directly into it.
Tesoro was too fast. The moment he transformed into lightning, the powerful figures in the arena were stunned for a moment. By the time they reacted, Tesoro had already taken half of Adam Wood.
While the others were still in a daze, Roy and his group didn't stop. Bullet, surrounded by auras, appeared in the center of the venue, followed closely by Hawk Eyes, and Roy's figure flashed above their heads.
The three protected Tesoro in the center, preventing anyone from disturbing him as he collected the Adam Wood.
"Damn it!" Kaido was the first to attack.
"Put down Adam Wood!"
"Hateful!"
The people around realized what was happening and started cursing loudly. They had all been ordered by the captain to seize the Adam Wood, and now they saw someone else take the wood away in some unknown way.
They began to curse loudly and surrounded them.
Facing Kaido charging towards him, Bullet Haki his hands with Haki, and his brass knuckles clashed with his spiked club, unleashing a deafening roar and a shockwave that sent surrounding tables and chairs flying.
The two men wrestled in mid-air.
"Kid, not bad strength!" Kaido's right hand veins bulged.
Same here!
Bullet grinned menacingly, slightly alarmed. He could sense that the minotaur opposite him was slightly stronger. With a flick of his right hand, he pushed away the spiked club and retreated to his original position.
Facing the charging pirates, Roy, suspended in mid-air, spread his arms wide.
" Shinra Tensei!" (Imitation of a move from another world.)
An invisible repulsive force emanated from him, spreading outwards. Some who were weaker seemed to have crashed into a wall, spitting out blood as their bodies were sent flying backwards, smashing through the wall and landing on the grass outside, their fate unknown.
The entire arena was instantly cleared out, leaving only a few powerful individuals standing still.
"It's that bastard!" Doflamingo cursed under his breath as he recognized the faces of the group. Veins bulged on his forehead as the humiliation he had suffered a few days ago surged into his mind.
However, he did not act rashly, as Roy's demonstrated strength far exceeded his own.
Kaido watched Bullet with great interest, slung his spiked club over his shoulder, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and finally looked up at Roy in mid-air.
"Oh? Not a bad opponent!"
"Looks like we can have a good fight today!"
They paid no attention to Adam Wood's rapid disappearance.
"Who are they?" Jozu's body was half-diamond, on guard against Roy's sudden outburst.
"' Heavenly Dao ' Roy, the guy who caused a huge incident four years ago." Marco sighed, realizing his Pops's task was going to be difficult.
Perospero used syrup to form a wall in front of his brothers, blocking Roy's repulsive force.
Katakuri and the others drew their weapons, preparing for battle.
How did they get here?
"Damn it, this is really troublesome!"
The pirates and representatives of various factions who recognized Roy and his group changed their expressions drastically. A person's reputation precedes them; how could someone who had a bounty of 500 million on his head at such a young age be simple?
Especially considering that he dared to snatch food from the tiger's mouth from the Golden Lion four years ago, coupled with the strength he just casually displayed, he is even more daunting.
While everyone was being held back by Roy, Tesoro finally managed to stuff the last few Adam Wood into his storage bag.
"Got it, boss!" Tesoro whispered, a hint of excitement on his face.
"Ready to cause a ruckus, brothers?!"
Roy's gaze swept across the entire area. His Observation Haki had already detected that the Marines outside had completely surrounded the area, and two extremely powerful auras were rapidly approaching—they were Admiral!
"Want to leave? Did you even ask me first?!"
Kaido roared, blue-green scales appeared on his body, and he swelled up, instantly transforming into his beast form!
A terrifying aura swept out, even more frightening than before. He stepped out with his left foot, shattering the ground, and black and red Inazuma crackled around his spiked club—clearly a Conqueror's Coating attack—as it hurtled towards Roy and his companions.
" Thunder Bagua!"
"I'll do it!"
Bullet's eyes burned with fighting spirit. He also entered White Tiger Model, roaring as Armament Haki flowed over his tiger claws, and a demonic Conqueror's Haki was controlled in front of him. Although he couldn't yet condense an attack, the clash of Conqueror's Haki would accelerate his Conqueror's Haki Coating.
Bullet fearlessly faced Kaido's Thunder Bagua!
"Tiger's Roar - Sky-Splitting!"
"Boom--!!!!"
The clash between the two top-tier Mythical Zoan generated shockwaves that were almost tangible, causing cracks to appear in the walls of the venue and the dome of the entire auction house to be blown off!
The wall could no longer hold and collapsed with a crash! Smoke and dust billowed up!
