One Piece: Inheriting the Shendu Template, I Summon Demons

"Doflamingo?" Luo Xiu looked at the man sitting with his legs crossed next to him and murmured to himself.

He didn't think it was such a coincidence.

They're probably here specifically to find me!

It's important to know that Doflamingo is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the King of Dressrosa, and a middleman in the underworld.

The list of identities is almost overflowing!

No one would choose to sit in such a position at an auction house.

It must have been my behavior in the casino that caught his attention.

Six hundred million Berries is no small sum!

However, Luo Xiu didn't care at all. Even if Jesus came today, it wouldn't matter. He was determined to eat the Devil Fruit at the auction.

A mere Shichibukai? How laughable!

"By the way, Doflamingo seems to have been producing artificial Devil Fruits. I wonder if these artificial Devil Fruits can serve as nourishment to awaken a demon?" Luo Xiu suddenly thought of this.

If it were really feasible, then we should find a Goku-eight Fruit!

Why not just cooperate with Doflamingo like Kaido did?

Hmm, I can give it a try!

Doflamingo faced the auction stage and did not speak, but since sitting down, his pupils behind his glasses had been intentionally or unintentionally scrutinizing Luo Xiu.

If it were anyone else, given his brutal and cold-blooded nature, he would have killed them long ago.

However, Luo Xiu was somewhat unfathomable to him; even with his Observation Haki, he couldn't perceive what the face under the mask looked like.

In other words, this person's Observation Haki is stronger than mine.

Furthermore, the aura emanating from him, though seemingly faint, was unlike that of an ordinary person.

A person who can thrive in both the legitimate and criminal worlds is not simply a reckless fool.

Therefore, Doflamingo is not in a hurry to take action; it's not too late to observe the situation first.

"Distinguished guests, the monthly auction is now in session!"

"Now, please welcome the first item for auction!"

The auctioneer on stage, seeing that it was almost time, announced the official start of the auction.

There was a click.

The lights on the round platform dimmed.

After a while.

The light has been restored.

The enormous lights above are now focused on the center of the circular platform.

They all converged on the first item up for auction.

It is a creature with fluffy hair, resembling an animal but with a human-like form.

"First item up for auction: Orc, lion form, starting bid 70 Berries!"

After giving a detailed introduction to the items for auction, the auctioneer announced the start of the bidding.

Below the stage, only a few people bid, until finally the hammer in the woman's hand fell.

The auction price was 100 million Berries.

After that, some more items were brought up for auction, including precious jade, trinkets, and weapons... but most of them were still slaves.

Luo Xiu saw at this auction a variety of races, including the Long-Armed Race, the Long-Legged Race, the Snake-Headed Race, the Giant Race, and even the Mermaid Race.

It must be said that the merfolk are indeed quite good-looking, but the one being auctioned off was a male.

Even so, a portly, fat-headed nobleman, who must have a taste for such things, bought it for a high price of ten million.

Throughout this process, Luo Xiu watched quietly, without making any move to bid.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Until the very last item was auctioned.

As the auction drew to a close, the bunny girl announced the final item in a loud voice.

A Devil Fruit.

It is entirely red, with unique patterns that shimmer with the light of money.

moment.

The originally quiet auction was suddenly thrown into a commotion.

The auctioneer's eyes gleamed as he looked at the Devil Fruits on the circular platform.

"I heard there were Devil Fruits up for auction this time, and I was right!"

"We're determined to get this fruit, but we don't know if it's a rare variety!"

"This is the kind of auction we've only seen once every six months. We made the right choice coming to this one!"

"......"

The bunny girl gestured for everyone to be quiet and continued, "After professional identification, this Devil Fruit is confirmed to be a Zoan-type Devil Fruit—the Dog-Dog Fruit!"

"......"

"Starting bid: 100 million Berries!"

However, the audience heard that it was an animal, and a relatively common dog at that.

The restless crowd immediately calmed down considerably.

"One hundred and fifty million!" At this moment, Luo Xiu raised the sign in his hand and shouted out the price.

It doesn't matter what kind of fruit it is, the system will take care of it anyway!

Even at its worst, it's enough to make up the remaining 20%.

However, Luo Xiu's actions made Ming Ge, who was standing next to him, sneer inwardly.

The mysterious man's ultimate goal was actually just an ordinary Devil Fruit.

What kind of strength could a guy have who would even be interested in such a rotten fruit?

Thinking this, a wicked smile appeared on his lips, and he wrapped a thin white thread around his fingers.

Luo Xiu's eyes remained fixed on the auction stage. He casually flicked his arm, cutting off the lines that were spreading towards him, and at the same time, he raised his hand to hold down Doflamingo, teasingly saying...

Has anyone ever told you that your look is like that of a "spirited young man"?

Chapter 127 Difficult to handle? Then let's not handle it!

Wearing loafers and capri pants, I'm the coolest person on the whole street.

Ming didn't know what Luo Xiu meant by "spirited young man," but it certainly wasn't a compliment.

He wanted to continue, but under the arm of the person in front of him, it was as if he were restrained by a giant steel clamp, as if a thin wire with a hardness comparable to steel had been instantly cut off.

Doflamingo's eyes twitched as he felt the oppressive gaze emanating from the other man.

The last time I felt this racing heart was when I was facing Kaido.

Who is this person?

"VIP number 21 has bid 150 million Berries. Anyone else want to place the bid?"

At this moment, the auctioneer on the round platform shouted to continue the auction process.

"2 million pegories!" someone in the hall raised a sign to bid.

"200 million...0.1 Berries!" Seeing people following him, Rosh held up a sign with one hand and put the other hand on Doflamingo's shoulder, shouting.

Compared to the latter's suspicions and doubts, he appeared relaxed and at ease, continuing to complete the unfinished auction.

This bid was made.

The room erupted in an uproar.

I've seen price gouging before, but I've never seen it gouged like this!

Isn't this just deliberately causing trouble?

The bunny girl on the platform was also taken aback, having never encountered such a situation before, and her eyes unconsciously turned to the person in charge of the auction on the second floor.

The person in charge nodded to the bunny girl, signaling to continue.

He had someone investigate the masked man when he entered the auction house.

It was discovered that he had just won 600 million peso at the casino.

Although the auction method was somewhat... irregular.

But as long as there are bidders, it's fine.

As long as he has money, he's not afraid that the other party won't give it back.

"3 million!" After a moment of silence, another person in the crowd shouted out a bid.

“300 million...01 peleys!” Roche raised his racket and continued.

"Damn! Is that how you ask for a price?!"

"Are you here to cause trouble on purpose?"

"The minimum bid increase is ten million Berries. What does 'add one more' mean?"

"Do you even know where you are?! Even the navy has to bow down to you!"

"......"

"Five hundred million!" At this moment, a bulky man in a custom-made suit shouted out a price, trying to steal the spotlight from Luo Xiu.

"Five hundred million... and one hundred berries!" Rosh didn't change his bidding method and completely ignored these people.

"VIP No. 21, you're putting us in a difficult position!" The auctioneer gave Luo Xiu a look, looking somewhat troubled.
