97: Chapter 97 The Fierce Auction(Several readers have suggested reducing the number of Mythical Zoan abilities.The author will reduce the appearance of these abilities later and increase the number of Ancient Zoan, Paramecia, and Logia types.By the way, the main reason is that the names of Mythical Zoan are easier to recall than other names.Also, the reason the author suddenly added new characters is because the author felt that always following the original plot was boring.If any readers disagree, the author can only beg for forgiveness.Sorry, private message Ma San.As I said before, following the original plot is really no better than watching the anime, right, my handsome readers?\(0^◇^0)/)
As time passed, the auction that everyone had been eagerly anticipating finally began.As the lights in the venue converged, Liz, dressed in a white dress and with light makeup, stepped onto the stage, and the atmosphere below the stage was ignited by her appearance.
"First of all, I welcome everyone to the auction on Wanwu Island.I wish you all success in acquiring the treasures you desire.Secondly, I hope everyone will abide by the rules of Wanwu Island.I don't care what you do outside the island, but murder and robbery are not allowed within the island.If you do not follow the rules, you will bear the consequences!"
As she spoke, Liss unleashed an astonishing aura that enveloped the entire venue.Those who had harbored some ulterior motives immediately abandoned them.Seeing the terrified silence on everyone's faces, Liss nodded in satisfaction."Now, I declare the auction officially open."
As Liz finished speaking, the first item was pushed up for auction, and everyone's attention was drawn to the item covered by a red cloth.
"I think everyone here knows about Seastone, right?It's an extremely difficult stone to work with, but once successfully processed, it can be used to create weapons that can fight against Devil Fruit users.And I'm fortunate enough to have obtained a weapon made with Seastone."
As she spoke, Liz lifted the red cloth covering the item, revealing it to everyone.A katana, its blade a bright silver color and intricately carved with patterns, lay quietly on the cloth.
"This sword is named Snowflake.Although it is not among the famous swords, according to its forger, it has reached the level of a fast sword.Therefore, the starting price is three million Berries, and each bid must be at least one million Berries higher.The auction will now begin."
As Liz finished speaking, everyone joined the bidding.
"I'll bid four million Berries, and this knife is mine!" a burly man shouted, holding up a sign."Five million, and it's mine!"
"Fuck you, I'll offer seven million Berries, it's mine!"
After a fierce bidding war, the knife was sold to a naval lieutenant commander for nine million Berries.Following the sale of the first item, the second item was brought out.Without further ado, Liz lifted the red cloth covering it, revealing a section of bone inside."I believe everyone here knows about the Thousand-Year Dragon," she said."Its bones are said to be used to make an elixir of immortality.The second item is a section of the Thousand-Year Dragon's bone.Without further ado, let the bidding begin.The starting price is ten million Berries, and each bid must be at least ten million Berries."
The atmosphere in the audience was ignited by Liz's words, and everyone threw themselves into the bidding.After a fierce competition, the dragon bone was bought by a wealthy man for 500 million Berries.However, this once again aroused the greed of many people present, who all plotted how to snatch the dragon bone.The wealthy man who got the dragon bone did not notice the greedy eyes of the people around him and was still thinking about his wonderful future of having an endless lifespan.
As each item was sold, the atmosphere at the auction reached its peak.When the last item was sold, Luffy seized the opportunity.After saying goodbye to his crew and letting them leave first, he quietly went to a corner, took out a dancing grenade, drank a million bowls of chicken soup for himself, pulled off the safety ring, and threw it into the crowd.Everyone was terrified and scattered, but the expected explosion did not occur.Instead, a brainwashing voice rang out from the scene.
