Chapter 30: Crazy Auction!
But Moriah is not the only one who is interested in this Adam tree. Such an Adam tree has not been seen for many years. Therefore, everyone at the scene was very interested in this Adam tree.
As soon as the old man started bidding, someone immediately placed a bid.
"600 million Baileys"
"I offer 650 million beli."
"800 million"
…
In the blink of an eye, the price of this Adam tree exceeded 1.2 billion beli.
Moria didn't have time to bid. The price of this Adam's Treasure Tree had already exceeded the range that Moria could bear.
On the Moria ship, after so many days of fighting, the number of Baileys on the ship has reached 1.5 billion. However, the expenses on the ship and the expenses for the crew, the remaining amount that Moria can use is only 12 The appearance of billion Bailey.
Moreover, judging from the crazy looks of everyone, the price is still rising. 1.2 billion beli is far from the highest price. For Moria, it is no longer possible to auction the Adam tree.
I just don’t know who will auction this Adam tree in the end.
Finally, after a fierce competition, the Adam tree was sold for 1.56 billion beli.
The person who auctioned it off looked like a chamber of commerce. At this time, there were many pirates in the auction house looking greedily at the place where they were sitting. It seemed that they were waiting to take action after the auction.
The representative of the chamber of commerce seemed to be fine and continued to wait for the next auction item to appear. The guards following him felt the greedy eyes of many and released their momentum. Feeling that they were not easy to mess with, many pirates withdrew their prying eyes. However, Moria knew that all of this was just an appearance, and he didn't know how many people were making small calculations behind their backs.
Moria withdrew his gaze and continued to focus on the auction table, looking forward to the next auction item.
The first auction item was such a treasure when it came up, which greatly aroused everyone's interest, and they were all looking forward to the next item.
It was a small object, covered in a fine red cloth.
"I believe everyone can't wait. After the fierce bidding just now, everyone is looking forward to this item."
"Okay, without further ado, let's take a look together!"
After saying that, the old man lifted up the red cloth, revealing the hidden items.
This is a bunch of bananas, but this is no ordinary banana. This banana is red, and there are many strange lines on it. Yes, this is an animal devil fruit.
In an instant, the auction house became noisy.
"Let me introduce myself. This is an animal type Devil Fruit, and it is very cherished. It is an ancient species in the animal type - Velociraptor form."
"With this devil fruit, you will have powerful power and unparalleled speed. I wish you to become a strong person."
"Okay, the starting bid for this Devil Fruit is 300 million, and each increase in price must not be less than 10 million beli."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, many pirates started bidding.
"400 million Baileys."
"430 million Baileys, our Demon Pirates want it."
"Tch, 500 million beli belongs to the White Fang Pirates."
"Damn it, I'm offering 530 million Baileys."
…
Although there are many people competing this time, most of them are from some pirate groups, and the devil fruits, although very precious, are still not as rare as the huge Adam tree in the first auction, so when the price comes After reaching 600 million, it stopped.
"640 million Baileys, is there anything higher?"
The old man said on the auction stage.
"670 million Baileys"
At this time, another voice came from behind.
"Okay, 670 million, 670 million once."
"670 million times"
Just when the old man was about to shout for the third time, a voice of 700 million came.
"Very good, 700 million Baileys, is there anything higher?"
After hearing this, the old man said.
In the end, after bidding, this ancient Velociraptor species Devil Fruit was sold for 710 million Baileys.
Moria was not interested in this Devil Fruit, after all, he had already eaten one.
Although this devil fruit grown in ancient times is very good, Moria feels that the price is exaggerated, and 500 million beli for this fruit is more reasonable.
Without thinking too much, Moria continued to look at the next auction item. This was an antique, very gorgeous and noble, but not so attractive to pirates. On the contrary, the nobles and businessmen were so enthusiastic that they actually auctioned it for a sky-high price of 1.2 billion beli.
I really don’t know what those people think, spending so much money to buy a useless decoration, maybe this is the world of rich people, Moria sighed.
The items to be auctioned were all treasures without exception, such as seastone weapons, cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, various slaves, etc., and all of them fetched high prices without exception.
Among them, there was something that Molia was interested in. Moria was interested in a big knife. Although it was not among the famous swords, it was indeed very sharp and domineering. It was no worse than some famous swords. Moria had the idea in his heart to shoot it. Down thoughts.
Moria called the price once, but soon someone offered a higher price. The price of the knife soon reached 800 million beli.
At that time, Moria felt that there was only one thought in his mind: I must auction this knife.
So, Moria almost shouted out a high price of 1 billion, but Moria's strong consciousness quickly came back to his senses. In the end, Moria did not shout it out, watching others continue to bid.
In the end, the knife was sold for a sky-high price of 1.3 billion Baileys.
Looking at the final decision of the old man, the big knife was auctioned off by a pirate.
Moria suddenly found that most of the auction items here were auctioned at unreasonable sky-high prices, and even Moria almost shouted out a high price of 1 billion when bidding for this knife just now. If Moria had not been impacted by the consciousness of the shadow during this period of time, his consciousness would have been much stronger, and I am afraid it would be difficult to break free from it.
If this knife was outside, it could be made with 600 million Baileys, some precious meteorite iron, and a master. Perhaps, in order to make money at the auction, a higher price is acceptable, but the sky-high price of 1.3 billion berries is completely out of the original value of this knife. 1.3 billion berries can already buy a large and sharp knife among the 21 works.
In the following auction, Moria no longer paid attention to the items on the auction table, but used his observation Haki to inquire about the situation in the entire auction venue.
Moria found that people seemed to have entered a state of enthusiasm, and the auctioned items were all bought at prices twice, three times, or even higher than the value of the items themselves. If the price occasionally appears to be one or two times higher than the item itself, it may be because the buyer likes the item very much, but if such an unreasonable high price always appears, it is worth thinking about.
Moreover, Moria found that the people sitting in the VIP seats did not bid once, perhaps they already knew that even if they bid, the item would eventually be sold at an unreasonable high price. At the same time, there were some people who did not appear in the venue, that is, the places that Moria felt could threaten his life before. The others in the venue were bidding crazily, with the prices getting higher and higher.
Even Kane, who was sitting next to Moria, seemed to be affected. Kane only had 10,000 Baileys on him, but he was thinking about bidding.
"Wake up, Kane"
Moria knocked on Kane's head and said.
"Master, what's wrong with me?"
Kane, who had woken up and figured it out, broke out in a cold sweat and asked.
"I'm afraid this is a devil fruit ability, and everyone here has been affected a lot."
Moria stared at the plain-looking old man on the stage solemnly and said in a low voice.
