The auction featured 35 valuable items. In just a few hours, Kazu had already made two purchases, a necklace and a bracelet, both of which he gave to Hancock.
"The next item up for auction is a weapon. Legend has it that hundreds of years ago in the Raranka Kingdom in the South Blue, King Salomon was the greatest warrior in his kingdom."
"To satisfy his ambition to conquer all directions, he not only mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, but also spent a fortune to acquire the hardest metals from around the world to forge a battle sword."
"With the Yamato and Salomon's personal bravery, he conquered eight surrounding countries in just ten years."
Unfortunately, he was mortally wounded in a battle and eventually succumbed to his injuries, thus halting his conquests.
"This battle sword also mysteriously disappeared from the country after Salomon's death. The Raranka Kingdom has been searching for this sword for hundreds of years, seeking their former glory, but unfortunately, the battle sword has never been found."
"It is said that in Raranka, only the one who obtains this battle sword is the rightful heir to the throne, possessing the support of everyone in the kingdom; its symbolic significance is immense."
"The starting bid for this sword is 50 million Beli, and each bid must be at least 1 million Beli higher."
Good heavens, isn't this blatantly adding unwarranted value to this knife?
Anyway, it's about something that happened hundreds of years ago. They just told a random story, and the knife's value increased several times over. Anyone who takes it seriously is an idiot.
If you don't believe me, then take this sword and go Raranka, and see if the current king will abdicate in your favor.
If someone could truly obtain the throne, they wouldn't put this sword in an auction house; wouldn't it be better for them to inherit the throne themselves?
Kazu originally thought the metal of this knife was pretty good; since he couldn't find any better metal, he bought it, melted it down, and reforged it.
But when this price came out, well...
He's not short of money, but that doesn't mean he enjoys being taken advantage of.
Within ten minutes, the price of the knife reached 96 million Beli, and it was eventually acquired by a member of a royal family in the South Blue.
"Next up is auction item number thirty-four, the Paramecia Devil Fruit — the Medicine-Medicine Fruit."
"As the name suggests, this Devil Fruit can turn anything the user touches into the medicine they desire."
"You are all important figures, so rewarding your loyal subordinates is a good option. That way, if you need medicine urgently, you won't have to worry anymore."
"Even without illness or disaster, regularly taking some highly nourishing medicines can prolong life."
" Paramecia Medicine-Medicine Fruit, starting bid 280 million Beli, minimum increment 10 million Beli."
The auctioneer's introduction nearly gave these big shots a brain orgasm. This was a life-saving item, unless they had a terminal illness that was certain to kill them, or they were killed on the spot.
If that's the case, there's nothing you can do but blame your bad luck.
In the eyes of those who crave power and wealth, this Devil Fruit is like a stunningly beautiful woman stripped naked, making them utterly covetous.
"I'll offer 300 million Beli!!"
"Only 300 million Beli? If you don't have the money, get out of here! I'll offer 330 million!!"
"370 million!"
"I'll offer 450 million Beli, and that Devil Fruit is mine!!!"
The VIPs in the auction house could no longer remain calm; this concerned their happiness for the next few decades, and they had no choice but to fight tooth and nail for the prize.
The auctioneer and the auction house manager were not surprised to see this scene; they knew the temperament of these important people all too well.
After acquiring wealth and power, what they fear most is death. Anything that can prolong life or even bring the dead back to life is the most precious thing in their eyes.
In any case, money is just a string of numbers in their eyes; they can always get it back by looting it later.
The atmosphere in the auction house was unprecedentedly enthusiastic. Just then, Kazu was in the front row, silently stood up and slowly walked towards the auctioneer.
I glanced at the Medicine-Medicine Fruit in the box next to me—a green Devil Fruit, lying there quietly.
It looks like a gourd, with some incomprehensible Kazu on it, and two leaves at the top. It looks quite appetizing.
Kazu's unusual behavior caused everyone in the auction to stop bidding, and a bad feeling spread through their hearts.
"Gentlemen, please give me some face."
"I really like this Medicine-Medicine Fruit."
After speaking, Kazu's gaze swept over everyone in front of him, and everyone felt an invisible pressure, as if they were being watched by an ancient ferocious beast and might lose their lives at any moment.
This is a man who can fight Marine Admiral without being at a disadvantage. If he has his eye on you, you have nothing to do but go home and quickly choose an auspicious burial site.
