One Piece: Inheriting the Shendu Template, I Summon Demons

Luo Xiu smiled. Difficult to handle? Then let's not do it at all!

Anyway, he never intended to actually pay. Going to the casino was just to prove he had the ability to auction off and to successfully enter the auction house to see the Devil Fruit.

And make a quick buck along the way.

The underworld! It's inherently shady!

There are far too many cases of double-crossing!

"Hurry up!"

"Is there anyone else bidding higher?" Luo Xiu urged.

Those present fell silent. Although Devil Fruits were precious, this particular "licking dog" type of Devil Fruit was not a rare find.

Five hundred million peles is already a premium.

Its true value is at most between 300 million and 400 million.

"Five hundred million... One and a half billion, for the first time!"

"Five hundred million... One Piece, for the second time!"

"Five hundred million... One Bailey for the third time!"

Snapped!

Seeing that no one continued bidding, the auctioneer had no choice but to bring down the gavel, sealing the deal.

"The item was won by VIP number 21. Please proceed to the trading area shortly!"

.......

"Who exactly are you?" Doflamingo asked directly after the auction was over, having searched his memory for anyone who resembled the person in front of him.

Roche threw away the number plate and took off the mask he was wearing.

"Luo Xiu!" Doflamingo recognized Luo Xiu the moment he saw his face.

Not long ago, he was reading reports about Rochefoucauld!

This is... an encounter?

Without any warning, and without...

moment.

The story of Luo Xiu came to Doflamingo's mind.

Defeating Kizaru, the Eight Great Demons, the Shadow Legion, sweeping through Impel Down, and facing off against the three Marine Admirals head-on, the Demon Guild...

These words, forcefully inserted into the brain, all conveyed the danger and power of the person in front of them.

My nerves are on edge!

Gulu!

Ming's Adam's apple bobbed, and he couldn't help but swallow. He finally understood why he couldn't see through this person!

He never expected that Luo Xiu would appear here, and that he would even take a fancy to a Devil Fruit that was not very useful.

"I didn't expect that!"

"It's you!" Doflamingo maintained a calm exterior, but a bead of sweat on his forehead betrayed his inner tension.

"how?"

"Have you seen me before?" Luo Xiu said as he slowly rose from his seat.

"Having turned the Navy and the World Government upside down, it's hard not to know them!"

"Then tell me!"

"What do you want?" Luo Xiu asked with a smile.

"I'm just here for the auction!"

Of course, Doflamingo would not admit that he came for 600 million Berries. The moment he saw Law, he knew he would never get those 600 million Berries back.

Even a naval admiral wouldn't be enough to defeat them; they could easily destroy this place.

"I see!" Luo Xiu's lips curled up slightly. You're quite perceptive, but he didn't intend to continue the topic. Instead, he said, "I do have something to discuss with you!"

Doflamingo looked puzzled.

"I heard you're producing artificial Devil Fruits!"

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!

Ming was taken aback, his glasses darting around, before he burst into laughter.

"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"How could such a rare item as a Devil Fruit be man-made?"

Doflamingo masked his inner panic with laughter. Although he didn't know why Luo Xiu knew this, he would never admit it. This was his lifeline and the key to his rise in this world.

Luo Xiu patted him on the shoulder: "Doflamingo, you don't want Kaido to find out about your deal with the Navy and the World Government, do you?"

Doflamingo's earlier laughter froze on his face.

what happened?

How did Luo Xiu find out about his relationship with Kaido?

Do you still know about the deal you made with the World Government?

Damn!

He hid himself so well that even Kaido didn't notice.

How was this exposed?

He might not be afraid of the World Government, but he truly fears the King of Beasts.

If the World Government finds out about our cooperation, and angers them, they will not hesitate to take action against me.

In terms of individual strength, he believed he was no match for Kaido.

The overall fighting strength of the Donquixote Family is not on the same level as that of Onigashima.

More importantly, Kaido is now my backer. It is thanks to Kaido's support that I can get along well in both the underworld and the legitimate world.

If they were to actually clash head-on, defeat would be inevitable.

And it is very likely that he will be arrested by the world government on charges of crimes!

Luo Xiu looked at Doflamingo, whose expression was somewhat unnatural, and knew that the other party was considering the consequences of exposing this matter.

"Dover, you're thinking a bit too far ahead. Do you really think you can leave me alive right now?"

.......

Chapter 128 Artificial Devil Fruits!

Doflamingo's thoughts were instantly pulled back. Sensing the undisguised killing intent in Luo Xiu's eyes, his hair stood on end.

Cold sweat dripped involuntarily down his cheeks.

Da da da!

It landed on the ground, splashing with a sound.

Indeed, compared to things that haven't happened yet, solving the problems at hand is the most important thing!

Luo Xiu is no pushover.

Based on what he's done, Doflamingo can deduce that this guy, like himself, is a ruthless and ambitious schemer.

Moreover, judging from the reports, Luo Xiu's strength as one of the Four Emperors is definitely not lacking.

Although he had awakened the String-String Fruit and his strength was not bad among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, there was an insurmountable gap between him and the Four Emperors.

It's impossible to escape alive from Luo Xiu by force alone.

"I happen to have an artificial fruit in this room!"

At this point, there's no need to hide anything; being honest and open with each other might actually give us a chance to survive.

It's just an artificial Devil Fruit. Compared to my own life, I can still tell which is more important.

"very good!"

"I'll go there myself later!" Luo Xiu nodded with a smile and turned to walk towards the trading area.

Ming watched Luo Xiu's departing figure, let out a long sigh, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

......

In the auction's trading area, the person in charge seemed to have been waiting for Luo Xiu to arrive. Upon seeing the buyer, he quickly stood up.

"A total of five hundred million... and one peley!"

"One piece is out of the question!"

"These are Devil Fruits!" He ordered his men to bring over a box containing the Devil Fruits from the auction.

At the same time, the moment he took out the Devil Fruit.

A dozen or so people dressed in the same clothes, with strong builds and obviously high combat skills, appeared and surrounded Luo Xiu, with a threatening tone.

The meaning is clear: don't try anything funny.

"However... there are rules for auctions!"

"You've disrupted the auction house's rules, so you'll have to pay a price!" The person in charge narrowed his eyes as he sized up Luo Xiu.

"So the price has changed now!"

"We need 600 million Berries!"

He knew that Luo Xiu had at least 600 million on him, and that was the price he was asking for, so he planned to take the opportunity to squeeze a hefty sum out of him.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have an extra hundred million in your own pocket?

He believed that if the seemingly ordinary young man in front of him obediently handed over 600 million, nothing would happen.
