Chapter 141 Devil Fruit Auction
Chapter 141 Devil Fruit Auction
"I want to have a good relationship." Profik said simply.
Pluto Rayleigh is a big boss who lives in seclusion in the Chambord Islands. If you can establish a good relationship with him, it will be of great help in obtaining information and improving your strength.
Reilly's teaching level is evident in the original work. After two years of training by Rayleigh, Luffy was transformed from an ordinary supernova who couldn't be domineering to a strong man who could compete with the great pirates of the new world.
Let alone two years of teaching by Rayleigh, it is not worth one day of teaching by Kaido.
Lovely's teaching is indeed a quick fix, but it comes at the risk of one's life.
What's more, without the good foundation laid by Rayleigh, I'm afraid Luffy wouldn't have been able to grasp advanced techniques such as Armed Color Flow and Overlord Color Coil from Wano Country so quickly.
Even without Rayleigh's help, the loss would only be hundreds of thousands of berries, which is not a problem at all for the current wealthy Dawn.
Low investment, high returns, why not?
In the end, Profik successfully "bought" Reilly for 450,000 berries.
However, the rules of the auction house are to wait until the entire auction is over before handing over the money and delivering the goods. Therefore, Profic had to wait patiently for a while to get this special "slave."
Of course, Profic was also prepared for Reilly to escape in advance.
Next, there are some valuable things, but Profic is not very interested in them.
For example, the "Fengchi", a good and sharp sword forged by a certain Nanhai forging master, was bought by a swordsman for 150 million berries.
A pair of twin sisters were bought by a great nobleman of a certain country for 30 million berries.
While the auction was going on, Morana brought the scholar-like old man back to the auction venue. Obviously, those little gangsters outside were no match for Morana, and she easily dealt with them.
"Thank you very much for your help..." The old man expressed his gratitude to Profik first. "My name is Falbu. I come from the Insect Island in the West Sea. I am a plant and entomologist. I wonder what you want to see me for? "
After Molana rescued the old man, he simply said, "Our captain is looking for you" and brought him to Profik.
"Hello, let me introduce myself. I am the new 'King Shichibukai' Profik," Profik introduced himself calmly, "I hope you can join us and work in the Dawn organization. As a researcher, if you agree, the adventure notes just now can be given to you for free."
Falbu didn't know what the King's Shichibukai was, but he basically understood the current situation - he was invited to join an organization as a researcher.
It seems that this is not a bad thing.
"Three conditions!" This old man is also a cheerful person. "First, you cannot restrict the research direction. Second, you must provide financial and venue support. Third, you must not be responsible for other matters!"
Profik nodded. Such conditions were not excessive for researchers, but he also had some conditions. Profik said: "I agree to your conditions, and I also have several conditions - first, the research cannot harm the world, second, the results of the research will be bought by Daybreak, and third, the research must not be disclosed to other forces. Content."
Falbu narrowed his eyes, as if he was considering the pros and cons. After a while, he said loudly: "I agree!"
Fortunately, this was in a bustling auction house, so even though Falbu spoke loudly, he didn't attract much attention.
At this time, the auction once again attracted Profik's attention.
"Dear guests," the host's seductive voice sounded again, "Now, let's come to the finale of this auction!"
Everyone's eyes focused on the high platform following the host's words.
At the same time, countless spotlights converged on the center of the stage.
Amid everyone's attention, the ground of the high platform suddenly spread to both sides, and a wooden platform slowly rose from the ground. The top of the platform was a transparent glass box.
A scale-shaped fruit covered with patterns and exuding a mysterious and eerie atmosphere (two small fruits at the two ends, connected by a branch in the middle, and a vertical branch in the middle) lay quietly in the center of the box.
Everyone held their breath and their eyes became extremely hot.
Even Profik's hands couldn't help but hold on to the handles of the chair, ready to stand up at any time.
The grand finale of this auction is actually a Devil Fruit!
……
Devil Fruit.
As long as you take a bite of this top secret treasure in the sea, you can gain unimaginable power.
A powerful Devil Fruit is likely to create a top powerhouse, and the emergence of a top powerhouse will inevitably mean a new round of bloodshed in the sea. Whether it is the veteran Yonko "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate or the newly promoted general candidate "Akainu" Sakaski who has just powerfully killed the great pirate "Captain John" in the New World, their illustrious names are all the same. The Devil Fruit you eat is inseparable.
It can be said that every devil fruit represents an unparalleled opportunity and the possibility of becoming the top powerhouse in the sea.
There are countless people who dream of eating a top-notch Devil Fruit, thereby gaining the opportunity to become a serf and sing.
For the sake of Devil Fruit, brothers sometimes turn against each other, and father and son sometimes become enemies. In the original work, there were not many incidents of fighting for Devil Fruits, but they all left a deep impression on Profik - the Surgery Fruit, the Golden Fruit, the Shock Fruit, and the Burning Fruit. The dust settles of each devil fruit are accompanied by a bloody storm.
It can be said that every battle for Devil Fruit is a life-or-death contest.
It is said that the price of a Devil Fruit in private transactions is at least 100 million beli. And those Devil Fruits with special abilities are even more valuable. The World Government once offered a sky-high price of five billion beri for a surgical fruit that had the superpower of giving eternal life to others.
But now, a Devil Fruit is lying there quietly.
Seeing the Devil Fruit under the spotlight, everyone in the auction venue showed greedy eyes, and their breathing became rapid.
"It's a devil fruit!"
"I didn't expect to see Devil Fruits at this auction!"
"I originally heard that the finale of this auction was an amazing item, but I didn't expect it to be..."
"It looks like the next competition will be fierce!"
……
Suddenly, the entire auction venue was boiling.
