How can I become the Pirate King if you don’t work hard?.

Chapter 111 Corpse Veins

Gawain frowned slightly.

The speed of the Don Quixote family is so fast that it is simply incredible.

You have to know that it has only been more than half a month since Smoker fell.

It is extremely difficult to transport these items, or slaves, from all over the world in such a short period of time.

but.

After thinking about it, Gao Wen gradually reacted.

Rare races in the underground world have far higher value than ordinary humans, but they are scattered and hidden all over the world.

To support a stable human trafficking business, countless supply chains are needed, which are intertwined with each other to form a huge trading network that covers almost the entire world.

From this perspective, the auction shown in the Sabaody Archipelago in the original book is merely the final link in this underground crime.

Send innocent people like those two girls into the hands of buyers.

"It's really...too dirty."

between words.

A hint of hostility flashed unconsciously in Gao Wen's eyes, but he knew more clearly that there would be a market only if there was demand.

It is precisely because of the twisted and dark desires in the hearts of these so-called nobles that Doflamingo's underground human trafficking network was established.

Look down.

One by one, the "goods" were pushed onto the auction table by the cart.

Apart from a few symbolic antiques appearing on the auction table, there was only one item left.

people.

From beautiful girls to strong male humans, to some rare races that were unheard of in the East China Sea, all of them drove the East China Sea nobles present into madness.

Gawain even saw three strong fishmen with gills on their shoulders and mouths full of ferocious sharp teeth.

When they first appeared on the stage, everyone was surprised at first, and then there was unspeakable madness!
"Actually...actually there is even such a monster!"

"A murloc of the same species as Aaron who was defeated by the knight Gawain before!"

"Possessing a strong physique, they can move freely underwater, and even have the racial talent to push their physical abilities to a higher level. Not only do they possess great strength, they are also the best sailors!"

"Even if it's just for viewing, it has extremely high value!"

"I want!"

"No one can rob me!"

……

"So……"

Disco on the auction table looked at the madness in everyone's eyes and licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue.

At this point in the auction, the transaction amount achieved has even exceeded the highest value that Disco initially predicted.

This also made Disco even more fortunate that he had snatched the right to host the first slave auction in the East China Sea from Doflamingo this time.

After that, as long as you settle down in Rogue Town, wealth and fame will come. As for the feelings of those slaves... who cares?
Are they human?
of course not!

Since they were put in shackles, they have only one identity - commodities!
The corners of Disco's mouth gradually curled up into a ferocious arc.

The only value of a product is to stand on the auction platform and be sold at the highest price!

"The murloc auction begins now!"

"The starting price... three hundred... no, five million Baileys!"

"Each increase in price must not be less than 100,000!"

boom!
As the hammer hit the ground, the atmosphere on the scene was instantly pushed to its climax!

"Five and a half million!"

"Six million!"

"Eight million!"

……

A few breaths.

The price increase on the spot directly exceeded 10 million, but this was completely unable to stop the madness of Donghai Guidu!
After all, the most peaceful sea area also means that it is far richer than the other seas, and the nobles at the pinnacle of power naturally make a lot of money.

Gao Wen stood in the VIP room, watching everyone going crazy, and for the first time he felt regretful.

Fuck!
If I had known earlier, I would have asked Clo and the others to be more ruthless and at least peel off a layer of skin from these people!

However, after this auction is over, it should still be in time, right?

……

In the end, these murlocs were bought by a noble from the Kingdom of Goa at an extremely high price of nearly 30 million berries.

The auction is now reaching its climax.

No matter how hard Disco tried to lower his lips, he couldn't do so, because this price was far above the average transaction price of the Chabaoti Archipelago!
He forced himself to put away his smile, and seeing the expressions on everyone's faces gradually ease, he cleared his throat and said:

"Next, it's time for the main attraction of this auction. I believe there should be quite a few people here who are here for it."

Gao Wen sat up straight in an instant, his eyes fixed on the auction table below.

I saw a waiter in a suit and tie slowly walk up to the auction table, put the exquisite octagonal box in his hand on the table next to Disco, and then quickly retreated.

boom!
The glaring light hit the box.

Disco casually pressed the mechanism above the octagonal box. With a bang, the octagonal box split open like petals, revealing the strangely shaped fruit hidden inside.

Just like countless ribs surrounding a skull in the center, the remaining roots on the fruit stem are curled together like a spine.

There was a hint of evil in his ferocious look.

“This is the protagonist of tonight.”

"Paradox-Bone-Bone Fruit!"

Disco said excitedly:

"After eating it, you can control all the bones in your body, change their composition, gain a hardness beyond that of steel, or change their shape, extending from your body to become a sharp blade or armor."

"If developed properly, even the bones in the opponent's body can be controlled!"

"Of course you all know the side effects, but what you get in return is an extremely comprehensive ability, which is definitely worth it!" "The starting price is 100 million berries! There is no limit to the increase in the price! Bidding begins now!"

boom!
The hammer banged on the table.

In the first instant, someone in the buyer's seat stood up and made an offer:
"One hundred and twenty million!"

"One hundred and thirty million!"

……

Gawain in the VIP room did not speak immediately, but stared at the fruits on the auction table in a daze.

After listening to Disco's description, the first thing that came to its mind was the Corpse Vein!

Similarly, you can control bones and change their strength and shape to form attack blades or armor.

If this fruit is developed to the extreme, it can even control the bones in the opponent's body, which is a higher-level ability of the Corpse Bone Vein.

If it can be supplemented by powerful Armament Haki, it will be enough to push the upper limit of this ability to a higher level.

Thinking inwardly.

Gao Wen immediately made a decision in his mind.

"This fruit may be useful to Jin. Even if not, it is definitely worthy of being a prize for the competition!"

In the few seconds he was thinking, the price of this devil fruit had already been pushed up to nearly 200 million.

Apparently, Gao Wen was not the only one who could see his potential.

Among the East China Sea nobles who are able to come here and control countless wealth, there are naturally fools who rely on the influence of their fathers to enjoy the fruits of their labor, but there are also naturally tough guys who have fought their way forward with their own abilities.

These people know much better than the former that only one's own strength is the hard truth.

As for the problem of being cursed by the sea and unable to swim after eating the devil fruit, it is not a problem at all for the nobles with fixed territories!
The most we can do is to be cautious when going out to sea and prepare a rescue team.

But what they got in return was a powerful force that was enough to suppress territorial rebellions!
No matter how you think about it, it doesn’t hurt!

"One hundred and ninety million!"

"Twenty million!"

Even Daz Bernis, who had been sitting still, stood up.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a deep voice coming from the VIP room above:

"Three hundred and fifty million berries!"

Daz-Bonis's hand holding the sign stopped in mid-air, and he swallowed the offer that had not yet been uttered.

It was because the price was far beyond what he had expected, and even with all the money he had brought, it was still not enough.

"what to do?!"

Sasha gritted his teeth, unwilling to fail.

As the assistant to the chief agent of Baroque Works, she knows much more than anyone else.

"The boss wanted this fruit. It is said that he wants to trade it with someone in the World Government. That person will help cover up our actions in Alabasta."

"And the boss said that this fruit is very special. It is said to be one of the five abilities of blood, flesh, bones, heart and soul. It has hidden value."

Daz-Bonis's gaze slowly moved towards the location where the voice came from, and his eyes gradually turned cold:

"If we can't get it through regular channels, then we can only rob it! Go and confirm the target's movements. After the auction is over, we will take action!"

"As long as the opponent is not the mysterious strong man just now, we have nothing to fear."

"it is good!"

Sasha nodded, and just as she was about to take action, she heard another voice coming from the VIP room above:
"Four hundred million berries!"

As soon as the voice fell, the scene suddenly became quiet, and no one continued to raise the price for a long time.

This is because the price has exceeded the psychological expectations of everyone present, and most people do not carry that much cash on them.

Even the VIP room that was originally priced at 350 million did not raise its price any further. It was obvious that the previous offer was close to the limit of his financial resources.

Seeing this, Daz-Bonis felt even colder:
"quick!"

"Just in case he gets something and leaves!"

"it is good!"

Sasha nodded solemnly, immediately stood up, took out his phone, and began to distribute the mission instructions to the agents who were accompanying them.

……

Auction venue.

After Disco looked up at the VIP room for the quote.

Slightly stunned.

He had some impression of the buyer in the VIP room, a young man with ordinary appearance and clothing, but he didn't expect that the other party was so wealthy.

"As expected, you can't judge a book by its cover, but this price is already far higher than expected!"

talking.

Disco looked around and said:

"Four hundred million berries at a time!"

"twice!"

"three times!"

boom!
The auction hammer fell with a deafening sound.

"make a deal!"

“Congratulations to the buyer!”

……

A few minutes later.

A devil fruit made entirely of a skeletal skin was placed on Gawain's desk.
