One Piece: King of the World from White Town

Chapter 419: If you have money, you can do whatever you want

Recently, Baby-5 was very unhappy that Abel didn't take her out.

I've punched him in the chest 500 times with my little fists.

So if I don’t bring her along this time, I don’t know how angry she will be.

Doflamingo didn't say much about this, probably because he was used to it.

Just as they were heading to their destination on the Flamingo, the Don Quixote family's auction house also began its extensive publicity.

Not only did they distribute flyers everywhere, they also spent a lot of money to buy space in newspapers.

The purpose is to let more people know that there is such a powerful auction house in the first half of the Grand Line.

You can even take out a devil fruit as the final item.

It would be fine if it was just an ordinary animal type, but the brochure specifically stated "non-animal type".

Then it means the superhuman type and the natural type!

The latter is unlikely, but the superhuman devil fruit is not weak either. It depends on what its specific abilities are.

More importantly, the master behind this auction is Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

That daring fellow had enough strength and reputation to overwhelm the crowd.

Otherwise, countless pirate groups would have visited the auction before it even started.

Everyone knows that auction houses make money, but in the end, only the big shots are qualified and capable of opening one.

If you don't connect the black and white worlds, it's just giving away money in vain.

As a result, many people were attracted and prepared to attend the auction.

Among them, a man with gray-green hair and ordinary clothes also saw the news.

He had a feeling that this devil fruit might be able to completely change his miserable life.

However, he still needed to think of a way to get this devil fruit. After all, he was so poor that he didn't even have the money for his next meal.

Not to mention competing with the wealthy for items, I can’t even afford the boat fare.

……

"Hi, long time no see, my friend."

Looking at the familiar and enthusiastic little fat man in front of him, Abel reluctantly rejected the other's hug, and just gently shook hands with the little fat hand covered with various gem rings.

"Abel, if you keep doing this, you will lose me as a friend." Du Fred said pretending to be unhappy.

"I'm just not used to hugging and cuddling with men. If it's a pretty girl, I might consider it."

Abel didn't expect that Doflamingo would arrange a new identity for him in this way.

Du Fred obviously came on behalf of his father, the usury king Du Field, and his purpose was probably to support his partners.

Obviously, almost no one would suspect that the people around Du Fred were stooges.

That's the benefit of having a reputation.

Of course, just in case, Du Field did not come in person, but just let his son go through the motions and act out a play with Doflamingo.

Even if something goes wrong in the end, this loan shark king will have enough excuses to clear himself of all charges.

After all, they never acknowledged Abel as one of theirs, did they?

As a father, he couldn't possibly stop his son from making friends across the oceans.

At most, it's just a matter of making the wrong friends.

"I recently rented a furry woman in Happy Street. It's quite fun to play with her. I'd like to take you with me next time?"

"Forget it. I'm busy and don't have time."

"That's a shame, but if you really want to go, you don't need me. I almost forgot, you've already dealt with that Stussy, you can still have fun however you want."

"Let me reiterate, I have nothing to do with that woman."

"I understand, I understand~"

You understand...you know nothing!

Ignoring the guy's obscene expression, Abel took him for a walk and then returned to the auction floor.

After these days of warm-up, many guests have come here from all over the place.

A devil fruit that is publicly auctioned is enough to attract a lot of popularity no matter what time it is.

In order to make the auction famous, Doflamingo also put out a lot of rare items as auction items.

It's just that the armed guard force is not that tight.

Only Abel and Baby-5 from the family came, the rest were busy with other tasks.

Perhaps Doflamingo felt that no one dared to cause trouble under his nose.

This is indeed the case under normal circumstances.

In the evening, the auction was held as scheduled.

Wearing a cloak and a mask, Abel sat next to Du Fred, waiting for the auction of the Golden Fruit.

Regardless of whether he could get a sky-high price at that time, his mission was to buy the Golden-Gold Fruit and send it back.

Even if he is a shill, he is not the kind of rubbish shill who raises the price just to disgust others.

Doflamingo was sitting on the sofa in the highest private room, holding a glass of red wine and looking at the situation outside through the glass.

The entire auction hall was almost full of people, which made him happier and happier, and he even hummed a folk song from his hometown.

One after another, fine pieces were brought out from the backstage, and then, with the enthusiastic pursuit of a group of people, they were sold at a very high price.

Everything went smoothly, and Abel began to suspect that there might be more than just him, there might be others.

Halfway through, Du Fred also lacked interest, but for someone's sake, he still generously donated money and bought several items in succession.

So many people looked over at him frequently, and then after confirming Du Fred's identity, they turned their heads back, saying it was bad luck!

Obviously, the son of the loan shark king was not someone they could afford to offend.

Moreover, it would be extremely foolish to compete financially with the son of the loan shark king.

As the auction progressed, it was finally time for the last item to appear. Everyone forced themselves to be alert, pricked up their ears, opened their eyes wide, and wanted to get a sneak peek.

The host also lifted the red cloth neatly and swiftly, revealing the golden fruit inside.

beautiful!

This was everyone's first reaction.

"Everyone, please look, this is a parahuman devil fruit. It is recorded in the devil fruit encyclopedia. Its name is the Gold-Gold Fruit."

Golden-Gold Fruit?!

Everyone was surprised at first, and then their hearts became extremely excited.

This is the second reaction.

"The starting price is 1 million berries, and each bid must not be less than 500 million berries. Now let's start bidding!"

"I'll give you 1 million berries!"

"You must be joking. You want to buy this Gold-Gold Fruit for 1 million berries? I'll give you 1 million berries!"

"Damn, two hundred million!"

It’s going to be sold at a sky-high price!

Looking at the hot atmosphere on the field and the continuous high bids, this is the third reaction of many people.

"Gold-Gold Fruit...Gold...Wealth!"

"Having wealth is like having everything!"

A man with gray-green hair in the auction hall gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Chapter 420: Premeditated Attack

"Gold-Gold Fruit? You, the Don Quixote family, are not kind."

Du Fred turned to look at Abel, who had concealed his identity.

If his father had known earlier that it was this devil fruit, perhaps he would have made the trip himself and tried every possible way to get it.

It's nothing more than a few billion berries in expenditure, which is nothing at all.

"You are so rich now, but you are still thinking about a mere devil fruit?" Abel asked deliberately.

"This is no ordinary devil fruit, you don't understand."

"As far as I know, the ability of this Gold-Gold Fruit is not to generate gold out of thin air, but to control gold. Is there any other secret?"

Abel became curious.

"Isn't it enough to just control it?"

Du Fred said something meaningful.

Abel suddenly raised his eyebrows, feeling that this guy had something else to say.

However, the power of wealth cannot be ignored.

"Why don't you start? The price has already exceeded one billion."

Du Fred reminded Abel.

Abel then noticed that in just a few moments, the enthusiasm of the people present had pushed the auction price of the Golden-Gold Fruit to the billion mark, and it was still rising rapidly.

Maybe the final transaction price may even exceed that of the original Snow Fruit.

It seems that he really underestimated the people in this world's obsession with "gold".

"15 billion berries."

Abel raised the number plate in his hand for the first time, and then attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.

After seeing Du Fred next to him, many people looked unhappy.

For a moment, I was unsure about the relationship between them. Did they represent different forces, or were they simply the white gloves of the loan shark king?

In the brief silence, another voice sounded slowly and firmly.

"I'll give you 20 million berries!"

Wow!

Many people looked towards the source of the sound with surprised expressions.

A strange man in ordinary clothes, with nothing noteworthy about him except the gray-green hair on his head.

But such an ordinary man just called out a sky-high price of 20 billion berries? !

Is it pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, or is it deliberately raising the price?

Many people began to glance back and forth between the two sides with flickering eyes, and a feeling of gloating arose in their hearts.

Abel also glanced at the other person, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up slightly.

20 million?

"25."

"30 million!"

Wow! ! !

When these two numbers appeared one after another, the scene immediately became boiling.

If this number is added little by little, perhaps everyone will be able to accept it.

But one minute ago, the price had just been raised to 1 billion, and in the blink of an eye it became 10 billion?
