Chapter 183 Belonging
As we all know, Devil Fruit is one of the most mysterious powers in this sea.
If an ordinary person obtains a suitable devil fruit, he or she will immediately gain extraordinary power.
The natural type, as one of the three major categories of devil fruits, is extremely powerful.
It can be said to be the type of devil fruit with the highest starting point. To take a recent example, Shanuo, the king of the westernmost sea area in the New World, is truly a user of the natural hurricane fruit ability. He has a gust of wind swordsmanship that is unmatched in Qinghai.
Going back further, the three veteran admirals of the navy in the future, Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru, are all users of powerful natural abilities. Each of them possesses enormous energy that can destroy the world and change the pattern of the ocean.
This is the charm of the natural system!
Similarly, this is one of the reasons why CP attaches so much importance to Enel. As the "strongest natural type" Thunder Fruit, it can be said that he is blessed by nature. As long as he is well cultivated, he will surely achieve extraordinary results in the future.
At this moment, there was an uproar in the audience, people were whispering and talking, all of them were shocked by the huge amount of money in this auction.
This is a natural type, the Yunyun Fruit. Just by hearing the name, it is not like an ordinary natural type fruit. It must be a fruit that can gain extraordinary power with a little development.
A noble from the kingdom hesitated for a while before finally speaking first:
"I'm worth 700 million Baileys!~"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he directly raised the value of the fruit a lot, and most people were shocked by this astronomical figure.
You know, it is the 1490th year of the Haiyuan calendar. There is no inflation and the currency has not depreciated. million Baileys can be said to be an astronomical figure, no less than the more than billion Baileys in later generations. It is like a green algae head.
Morganus smiled:
"Okay, this gentleman offers 7 million Baileys. Also, each increase in price must not be less than million Baileys."
"Hmph!~ 700 million? I'll give you 900 million Baileys~"
Another big shot in the audience spoke up, and people looked at the person bidding and were startled.
It turned out to be the prince of the West Sea Flower Kingdom, His Highness Li Yun!
West Sea, the Kingdom of Flowers, is undoubtedly the most powerful country in the West Sea!
This time, Prince Li Yun of the Flower Kingdom also came to the Expo with Qing Jiao, the leader of the Eight Treasures Navy. However, there were too many big shots this time, so people of Li Yun's level did not have a high presence. But to be fair, he was definitely a big shot.
Morgause's bird-face smiled brightly:
"Oh my god! Prince Li Yun offers 900 million Baileys!"
As soon as Morgans finished speaking, a powerful voice rang out:
"One billion!~"
!!! ~——
Everyone couldn't believe their ears. One fruit could actually fetch 1 billion Baileys?! ~
Is the sea too crazy or am I too poor?
In fact, this is just the first lot of this super auction! ~
Li Yun's face looked unhappy. He didn't expect that someone would dare to compete with him. He looked in the direction of the voice.
Oh, it turns out to be Colonel Camus of Pentles. It seems that he is indeed qualified.
Li Yun is actually not stupid. As the prince of the most powerful country in the West Sea, he was entrusted to come to the Pentles World Expo. Naturally, he is good at political tactics.
After a little thought, I figured out what Colonel Camus meant.
There are only two possibilities. First, Camus is a "shill" for this auction. As the first item to be auctioned, he naturally wants to raise the level of the auction, so he has to raise the price.
Second, Camus really wanted to get the Yunyun fruit.
If it is the first case, Li Yun is naturally willing to give Camus a favor and take the Yunyun Fruit at a premium price. If it is the second case, it is no big deal and he can just withdraw. After all, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
Besides, the Flower Kingdom is not a strong dragon in front of Pentles.
Li Yun thought for less than two seconds before continuing:
"I will offer 1.5 billion Baileys. If you have more financial resources, I will have nothing to say."
After Li Yun finished speaking, his eyes kept looking at Camus in the front row, always paying attention to whether he would speak.
Camus remained silent for a long while. Li Yun felt relieved. He had guessed right. Camus was just a stooge.
Morgause was excited, his eyes were burning:
"Oh, oh! Prince Li Yun bid 1.5 billion Baileys! He's really spending a fortune, so generous! "
Everyone was also shocked. The net worth of these big shots was totally beyond their imagination. The polarization of this ocean was so different that the difference between heaven and earth was huge.
Seeing that no one raised the price, Li Yun couldn't help but feel even more proud. As long as he could get the Yunyun Fruit at an affordable price, it would naturally be a great achievement when he returned to the Kingdom of Flowers.
After all, this was shown to the whole world and greatly increased the prestige of the West Sea Flower Kingdom.
but--
The next moment, a young and deep voice sounded:
"I'll pay 1.1 billion Baileys."
!!! ~
Are there any experts?! ~
Li Yun's face was full of disbelief. He had already offered 1.5 billion Baileys, which was already beyond the value of the Yunyun Fruit itself. How could there still be someone taking advantage of him?
That bastard is so stubborn?
Li Yun and everyone else looked over and saw a black-haired young man in a long robe sitting upright with a serious face and a righteous look.
It's really the Crown Prince of Grand Line Alabasta——Nefertari Cobra! ~
Li Yun had naturally heard of this young and promising crown prince. He thought that Alabasta was mostly desert, with little rainfall and drought throughout the country. If he could get a Yunyun Fruit and work with a group of meteorological experts, he might be able to change the world.
Thinking about it this way, the Yun-Yun Fruit is indeed of great strategic value to Alabasta. It is not as simple as Li Yun just spending 1 billion Beli to buy face.
[Should we give Cobra this favor? ]
Li Yun pondered in his heart. Nefertari was one of the original twenty countries, but the ancestors gave up the opportunity to rule Mary Geoise, so they did not become world nobles. However, even so -
Alabasta is also a superpower with a military force of over 400,000.
Li Yun weighed the matter several times and finally spoke:
"...Mr. Cobra is thinking about the country. I believe that the Yunyun Fruit is also to help your country change the climate and benefit the people. In this case, I will no longer participate."
Li Yun's words were tactful and generous. He not only praised Cobra's behavior, but also came up with a fairly decent reason for his withdrawal, which won the hearts of the people.
Cobra quickly responded:
"Mr. Li Yun is very understanding. Cobra would like to thank you."
Li Yun nodded generously, looking indifferent.
Lex sat at the top of the center of the first row, smiling.
The next moment, Morgans saw through the situation, picked up the small wooden hammer, and made the final decision:
"The Cloud-Cloud Fruit was bought by Prince Cobra at a high price of 1.1 billion Baileys!! ~ Please ask Prince Cobra to go to the backstage to deliver the goods after the meeting. The Expo will provide absolute safety guarantees."
Lex took the opportunity to speak. He did not stand up, but just sat in his seat, his voice spreading throughout the venue:
"I don't want to see the items in this auction appear in the hands of people other than the auctioneer. I hope you can give me this face."
The whole audience was silent and no one dared to answer.
Cobra suddenly spoke up with courage that came out of nowhere:
"Lord Lex is a man of high moral character, and a blessing to the world!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cobraton felt cold sweat all over his body, his heart was beating wildly, and he felt palpitations.
Lex smiled:
"Prince Cobra, you are too polite. All right, Morgause, continue."
Morgans on the stage just reacted and started the auction of the second item.
