The most courageous pirate hunter

The whole place fell silent.

Countless eyes once again focused on the Celestial Dragons.

"As expected of a world-class aristocracy, they are incredibly wealthy and powerful!"

"A mere trash Devil Fruit can easily generate a billion Berries."

"So rich!"

Is this what life is like for the rich?

"so envious."

Many people are envious, jealous, and resentful.

As everyone knows, "wealthy and powerful" doesn't describe how rich someone is, but rather it describes the Celestial Dragons.

Are there any other bidders?

"It seems there aren't any more. Congratulations, Celestial Dragon."

What can a young woman do when her property is being auctioned off? She's desperate!

Devil Fruits that were originally worth at most one or two hundred million suddenly sold for a billion, and there was no way to refuse them.

What a good man!

Hopefully, the next Devil Fruit will still fetch such a high price.

However, these Devil Fruits are probably not very useful to the Celestial Dragons!

"The third one, Zoan-type Donkey Fruit."

"A billion."

"The fourth one, the Horned Sheep Fruit."

"One billion!"

"The fifth one..."

"A billion."

"Celestial Dragon, I haven't finished introducing myself yet!"

The young woman at the auction looked aggrieved. "Can't you please respect my profession? I'm the auctioneer. You bought it before I even introduced it to you. That's very disrespectful!"

"Hurry up, I don't have time to listen to your rambling."

"I'll buy all the remaining Devil Fruits with one billion each. If that's not enough, I'll buy two billion, five billion, or even ten billion!"

Charlia Palace waved her hand impatiently.

His words can be so offensive they could choke someone to death.

That attitude of not caring about money is utterly despicable.

Everyone in the venue was numb.

How the hell can you possibly win this argument?

Two billion, five billion, ten billion per pill...

Grass.

Angry.

It feels like they're showing off their wealth.

The young woman being auctioned off was on the verge of tears. She dared not accept two billion, five billion, or even ten billion. If she went back to her old employer, wouldn't he kill her?

How dare they extort the Celestial Dragons like this? Aren't they tired of living?

Unsurprisingly, the Celestial Dragons spent 1 billion to buy the Dog-Dog Fruit (Teddy Bear Form) and the Mantis Fruit.

This auction is truly historic; normally, one Devil Fruit is considered good, but this time there were six.

They are octopus fruits.

Cow fruit.

Donkey fruit.

Horned sheep fruit.

Teddy fruit.

Mantis fruit.

Although they are all Zoan-type Devil Fruits, they are still Devil Fruits, and six at once is a rare feat in recent years.

Chapter 251 [This is the Warring States Period]

The auction continues.

Devil Fruits are just an appetizer.

It's unclear why Barrett and Barrolick didn't bid. The most likely reason is that they didn't value these Devil Fruits. If it were Logia or Mythical Zoan types, they would collect them even if they didn't eat them themselves.

As for the Supernovas and those wealthy merchants and nobles, they were wary of the Celestial Dragons' identity.

The less trouble, the better.

After the Devil Fruits were auctioned off, the next items were various weapons, jewelry, and slaves.

It's quite bizarre that some people consider slaves more valuable and popular than Devil Fruits.

Soon we'll get to today's main event.

The Celestial Dragons participated in this auction precisely for this major event.

"She really is a mermaid."

"She is still a young female mermaid."

"It's been many years since I've seen a mermaid auctioned."

When the water tank was brought to the auction stage, and the black cloth was removed, revealing a mermaid with short light green hair and a pink fish tail, the whole audience cheered.

It was Kemi.

Unfortunately, the Straw Hat Pirates were wiped out and are now barely surviving somewhere. They have no chance to meet Camie and Hachi. Camie might not escape death this time.

"This needs no further introduction, right? The Kissing Fish-Man Mermaid from Fish-Man Island, starting bid 100 million Berries, highest bidder wins!"

The young woman auctioning off pointed at Camie in the water tank, her gaze lingering on the Celestial Dragon.

She knew that the Celestial Dragons were very interested in slaves of special races. The mermaid that was auctioned last time was said to have cost more than a billion, and it was far less valuable than this young and beautiful one.

"One billion peles".

Unsurprisingly.

Charles Saint started with a billion Berries.

"Woooooo~"

In the water tank.

Kemi struggled, tears streaming down her face as she pounded on the water tank, her eyes filled with fear and pleading.

But this despair was met with indifference from 99.9% of the people in the room.

"Hahaha."

"Mermaid, mermaid."

Charles Saint, sniffling, stood up from his seat and danced wildly, his mentally challenged face filled with joy and ecstasy.

Various methods of torture have already appeared in my mind.

"Once in a billion."

"twice."

"three times."

"make a deal!"

"Congratulations, Saint Rozwald."

The young woman at the auction was all smiles; she had achieved a complete success with the auction.

"Xiao Ba, what should we do!"

"Damn it, if Camie gets taken away by the Celestial Dragons, she'll wish she were dead."

In the eighth row, Xiao Ba and Papa Gu pretended to be anxious.

"I'm going all out."

Seeing Kemi's panicked and frightened appearance, Hachi gritted his teeth, stood up excitedly, and wanted to take it by force, while Papagu was prepared to pay the price with his life.

Even knowing it's futile to try and stop a chariot, they'd still do it for their friends.
