Chapter 55 Devil Fruit
Jem took a deep breath: "Girl, you come! Until the other party gives up!"

Marian excitedly took over the bidding job again.

"6000 million!"

"..."

Jem leaned back on the soft chair back weakly.

When the money is used, I hate less!

"Yo, come on girls."

Jem: "..."

As the two women scrambled to bid, the people around turned around and cast "encouraging" glances over. Obviously, they gave "[-]%" support to this kind of good show.

When the bidding price soared to 500 million, the woman in the front row finally stopped shouting.

"Eighty-five million times!"

"Eighty-eight million times!"

The auctioneer's unhurried tone almost made Jem gnash his teeth, and his eyes remained on the woman in the front row.

At this moment, the woman turned her head sideways and was discussing something in a low voice with a man with a big shawl beside her.

"Knock!"

The hateful auctioneer seemed to delay the words on purpose.

"Eight...thousand...five...hundred...ten thousand...three times!"

Jem couldn't wait to rush up and hit the auctioneer's head with the hammer.

Fortunately, the heart-wrenching sound of bidding has never sounded again.

"make a deal!"

Jem let out a long breath, and lay back on the bench, feeling a little wet behind him.

Eighty-five million Baileys... He estimated that he would put at least 500 million Baileys in it!
"Brother Jem, we, we succeeded!" Marianne said ecstatically.

Well, Brother Jim seems to be in a bad mood right now.

Marian put away her ecstatic emotions, and comforted in a low voice: "Brother Jim, you saved a whole country of princesses! You are a hero!"

Jem was powerless to argue: "..."

The people around him cast complicated glances at him—for a female slave, even if she once had the title of princess, she is still a human being after all, 500 million Baileys, give me, I can buy a battalion of female slaves!Then assign you a row, you can play however you want, isn't it good?
Suddenly, neon lights flickered on the stage, smoke billowed up, sonorous music also sounded, and all the lights swayed with the dancing auctioneer.

……

Following the rhythmic street dance of the auctioneer, a slender pillar slowly emerged from under the stage.

After the last blow of the big drum dropped the hammer,

All the music stopped in an instant, and the lights once again focused on the 100-point auctioneer.
"Dear guests, don't ask me why I stopped so abruptly at the beginning of such a climax, everything is just for the next moment!"

Everyone can't help whispering,
"The next lot is the highlight of this auction, and I believe it must be the real climax of tonight's feast. So what kind of lot is this? Let us wait and see."

As the auctioneer pulled the silk cloth on the display stand, a beam of light rushed straight at the unobstructed piece of fruit on the stand.

"Devil Fruit!"

"It's a devil fruit!"

This is a devil fruit shaped like a big lemon, with the lines of arabesque twisting and circling on it.

The auctioneer pointed to the devil fruit on the booth.Smiling authentically.

"That's right, it's a devil fruit, everyone, this is a rare and rare thing, you have to seize the opportunity."

"As we all know, this devil fruit, known as the great secret treasure of the sea, can give the eater magical abilities, although the price is to be rejected by the sea and become a landlubber. But it is definitely worth it."

As soon as the devil fruit came out, the audience was erupting.After all, in this magical world, the allure of this thing is too great.

As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, there was a commotion in the auction house. Countless people looked at the devil fruit on the silver pillar with burning eyes. In the black market, it is almost something that can be encountered but not sought after.

"Hehe. So what kind of fruit is this? Is it superhuman? Is it animal? Or the strongest nature. Let's see who can get its magical ability in the end."

The auctioneer smiled, and then waved his hand: "The reserve price of the auction is [-] million Baileys!"

"1000 million!" Just as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone in the back seat yelled out loudly.

"3000 million!" There are obviously many people who are interested in this devil fruit, so the export price just now has been far surpassed in the past.

……

The sound of shouting bids sounded one after another in the auction house,

Jem sat quietly in the chair, this fruit?Lemony?Is this a fluffy fruit?But why is it, shouldn't it belong to Miss Valentine?Hasn't Miss Valentine taken this fruit yet?
To be honest, this is not a powerful fruit. Compared with the Piao Piao fruit of the Golden Lion, it can only act on itself, and its limitations are too small. Its [-] kilograms is obviously too light.

Moreover, even if Jem wants to get this fruit, he obviously has more than enough heart but not enough money!

In less than a few minutes, the price of a devil fruit rose directly from 4000 million to 4000 million, and at this time the price calls became relatively less. After all, [-] million Bailey, It's really not something anyone can get.

"6000 million." Just when the bidding price stopped at 4000 million, the intellectual voice in the front row sounded again.

This suddenly raised the price to 2000 million again. Jem raised his head slightly, and couldn't help but look at the woman with the wide-brimmed hat in the front row again. Who is she?In the first half of the great voyage, I have never heard of a woman with such amazing financial resources!
The woman's outcry finally made the noisy auction room completely quiet. Some people who were planning to raise their prices looked at each other and sat down unwillingly.

"Two hundred and thirty million!"

However, just when Jem thought that the price would stop at this moment, a heavy voice accompanied by rapid panting sounded from the corner of the front row.

Jem's eyes followed the shouting, and finally settled on an extremely strong man in the left corner of the front row.

"Three hundred million." The woman remained expressionless, and her unhurried voice sounded again, as if to her, what she shouted was just a random number.

All eyes were on these two people, and everyone was not bidding for the auction, but just watched with great interest where the two could raise the price.

"Badji, you're crazy, we don't have [-] million! Do you want to be hanged by Motland on the mast by the coast, and let the seabirds keep pecking away your flesh and blood?"

Seeming that his brother wanted to increase the price, the thin man beside him hurriedly said in a low voice.

After the woman shouted out the price, the burly man finally put on a blank face, angrily shrank back to the chair and never spoke again.

The burly man named Baji glanced at the woman in the middle of the VIP seat, with a gloomy look at the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "Very good, I'm in good shape. When I get out of this door, I'll snatch you and the treasure."

"Hehe, is there anyone else who wants to increase the price? Three hundred million times!" The auctioneer was quite satisfied with the price, and asked with a smile. After seeing that there was no answer, he finally hit the auction hammer in his hand. down.

So far the auction has come to a successful conclusion.
