NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 34: Konpira
"It's finally here! I have been waiting for a Devil Fruit!"
"Hahaha, it's a Devil Fruit! I heard that if you eat it, you will get a powerful a powerful ability!"
"I don't know what type it is, but it would be great if it's a Logia."
"I hope it's a Zoan-type Devil Fruit."
"Are you dreaming? Who's going to put a Logia Devil Fruit up for auction? A Paramecia that's not weak would be nice!"
"Yeah, it's fine as long as it's not Zoan-type Devil Fruit. I don't want to be an ugly animal."
"..."
…
Contrary to the other's expectations, Kaishu hopes that it will be a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, whom everyone looks down on.
Richard excitedly lifted the cover on the tray, and then a black and white Devil Fruit covered with spiral patterns attracted everyone's attention.
"This Devil Fruit is..."
"Bird-Bird Fruit, Sparrow Model!"
The auctioneer enthusiastically began to introduce the devil fruit.
"Don't look down on this ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit. It's a precious Devil Fruit that will let you fly!"
"Everyone thinks about it, how lucky it would be to be able to fly on the sea..."
"Whether you encounter a strong pirate or bad weather, you can fly into the air to escape."
"You must know that big pirate like Shiki the Golden Lion makes the Marines feel helpless because he can fly!"
Richard may be dressed in a funny way, but he speaks eloquently. In an instant, many people who were not interested initially had their thoughts changed on this Devil Fruit...
"The auction starts now, with a starting price of 150 million Belly, and each increment cannot be less than 10 million Belly!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, countless people at the scene had already started to shout their bids.
Although it is just a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, it is also an opportunity that can be encountered but not sought after by most people.
What's more, it is a very valuable flying-type Devil Fruit.
"One hundred and seventy million Belly!"
"One hundred and eighty million Belly!"
"Two hundred million Belly!"
"Two hundred and ten million Belly!"
"..."
In just a few minutes, the price has exceeded 200 million Belly, making some people stop bidding.
Only a few nobles and two pirates are still bidding.
Although King told him the well-known information about the preciousness and value of Devil Fruit. But Bullet was still surprised to see the fierce competition in the auction.
"Three hundred million Belly!"
Kaishu held up the bid paddles in his hand.
"Huh?" Several people who were still bidding looked over. Unexpectedly, another competitor suddenly appeared and added 50 million Belly at once.
After thinking about it, several nobles gave up as the price increased. It wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but that it was not worthwhile to buy an ordinary Zoan Devil Fruit for more than 300 million Belly.
Among the remaining bidders, an older pirate gritted his teeth and raised his bid paddles while shouting: "Three hundred and ten million Belly!"
It can be seen that he wants to rely on this Devil Fruit to let his stagnant strength go one step further.
Another pirate wearing a captain's hat with over five meters in height stared at the pirate who raised the price and at Kaishu before he stopped bidding.
"Three hundred and fifty million Belly." Kaishu's faint voice sounded, which also completely angered the older pirate.
"Boy, I'm Scully, the captain of the Mountain Cannon Pirates. Do you dare to increase the price?"
The older pirate named Scully stood up, and then he looked at Kaishu viciously while threatening him.
"What are you waiting for?" Kaishu calmly asked Richard without even looking at Scully.
"Ah, sorry sir, going once for three hundred and fifty million Belly."
"Going twice for three hundred and fifty million Belly."
"Boy, you are looking for death." Seeing that both Kaishu and Richard ignored him, Scully walked towards Kaishu angrily.
"Sir, do you want to make trouble here? This is Captain John's territory." Richard looked at Scully's behavior and said threateningly.
"...Huh! Brat, why don't you go out if you have the ability." Scully said a cruel word through his gritted teeth.
"You're smart," Richard muttered disdainfully before continuing to shout enthusiastically:
"Going thrice..."
"Hey!" Before the Auctioneer's yell ended, Kaido yelled at Scully.
"Huh? Do you want to beg for mercy for that brat? Alright, as long as you obediently hand over that Devil Fruit to me, I will..."
"Noisy!"
Scully talked arrogantly to Kaido, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt dizzy, and then he saw his own body.
Before he could finish his words, he was hit by Kaido's "wind blade," and his head was separated from his neck.
"Puff...Puff..." After a few seconds, blood gushed out from his neck like a fountain.
"Ah!!"
"Murderer, run, run..."
The screams of the ladies and the fleeing nobles caused the auction to become chaotic.
However, there were also those who sat there and watched the scene with cold eyes, with some of them looking at Kaishu and Kaido with great interest while thinking about whether to recruit them.
However, some smart people quickly recognized the identities of the two of them and quietly left with a big change in their expression.
"You..."
Ricard pointed at Kaido with an ugly expression on his face.
This is Captain John's territory. Killing people here means not giving Captain John a face.
But they just bought Devil Fruit for 350 million Belly.
Moreover, Captain John cared about the treasure the most, which made Richard feel a little bit of a dilemma.
"Don't worry about that rubbish. Let's continue the auction."
Kaishu urged Kaido as if he hadn't noticed Kaido's rampant murder, "By the way, bring me that Devil Fruit."
"Yes, Yes!"
Richard winked and asked his subordinates to report the matter to Captain John.
Then, another person took the Devil Fruit to complete the transaction with Kaishu before the auction continued.
Everyone present acted as if nothing had happened. Even the corpse and blood were cleaned up.
"The following item is even more precious than Devil Fruit to all swordsmen here."
Richard raised everyone's curiosity before shouting loudly with passionate words:
"It's... named after the patron saint of the sea...!"
"A famous sword, konpira!!"
