One Piece: The Eternal Flame

Auctions all have a common rule, that is, there will be some intervals in the order of appearance of celebrity auctions, and precious items and ordinary items will be interspersed, so that during the live auction, the rhythm will be relaxed and the peaks will come one after another, so that the big guys will not be finished at the beginning and there will be nothing to see later.

And the Adam wood that Gray and the others wanted was a product that was bid in the middle of today's auction.

The first treasure map was auctioned by a pirate group for 3000 million Baileys, and the second auction soon followed.

When the auction was in full swing, outside the skeleton building, many ordinary pirates who did not go to the auction gathered together to drink and eat meat, making jokes.

Farther away, there is the sea level with the setting sun slanting westward and the port dyed orange red.

Perry was lying on the recliner with a cigarette in his mouth and reading a book. Demon was reinforcing the planks of the hull, and Colin was handing him the tools. Only the sound of knocking and tapping sounded rhythmically in the air.

After the island faded away from the hustle and bustle of the day, it showed a trace of quiet warmth in the evening, and everything seemed so harmonious.

The auction starts in the evening, rests during the day, and continues at night. It will last for three days, which has always been a tradition.

A black spot suddenly appeared on the horizon in the distance. Perry took a look through the telescope and lost interest.

Colin asked, "A late pirate ship?"

"Ah, it's Warwick and the others." Perry turned the pages of the book and said calmly, "I guess it's the end of the matter."

The Warwick Pirates flying the black flag were moored at the port, and all the pirates disembarked, and Warwick, the captain, walked last.

Standing on the gangway, Warwick glanced at the pirate ship moored in the port, and a malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

And farther away, if you look at the whole situation from the sky, you will find that on the sea, there are nearly a hundred ships approaching the hive island from all directions.

Among them, the largest is the navy's fully armed warships, and the rest are the famous pirate hunters in the New World and special ships for newspapers who came here after hearing the news.

The pirates who didn't know it were still immersed in the atmosphere of the auction, but they didn't know that they had become praying mantises in the eyes of others.

"I believe that the upcoming auction will arouse the interest of many people. Everyone knows that there is such an island in the legend. Wars have been happening on the island all the time. The city and people on the entire island were basically destroyed under the baptism of the war.

"But there is a huge "tree" that still stands. No matter what happens, the tree stands there. After the war, people built new cities and countries around this tree. There are only a few in the world. People call it the strongest tree..."

"The boats made of it can withstand enormous pressure and have extremely strong toughness. Now, someone has provided a branch of Adam wood. After the appraisal of the craftsmen of the water city famous in the shipbuilding industry, the branch is enough to make a whole large three-masted sailing ship."

"The starting price is 1000 million Baileys, and the price increase is [-] million Baileys!"

When the host said these words, the pirates had already started to commotion, and as soon as the voice fell, some pirate raised the number plate in his hand, and soon his bidding was suppressed by other pirates.

While the host shouted out the quotations one by one, he glanced at the quiet box on the second floor without any trace. The pirates on the first floor were still playing around. What really needed attention were the pirate groups with the highest status in the new world on the second floor.

Black Flame Gray, Ghostblade Tracy, Black Prince Sam, Cotton Jack and Red Maniac Annie.

These five pirate captains are the ones they really need to pay attention to in the auction.

"Are we still bidding?" Oden lay on the window of the box, listening to the higher and higher bids below, completely unable to sit still.

"The current quotation will be exceeded soon." Andrew signaled him not to worry.

"Oden, do you know who is in the boxes next to us?" Abel waved at Oden, diverting the boy's attention.

Oden was indeed attracted, "One side is Teresi, right?"

"Yes, besides their pirate group, there are three other pirate groups, which are also the most powerful forces in the new world."

"Hey~ Does that mean there are five in total?" Oda sat next to Abel, and Ace also moved over.

The two of them, one from a closed country and the other from the future, have no understanding of this world.

There are famous big pirates in the New World, and they have only come into contact with a few of them.

Gray has been occupying the long sofa after eating, with his eyes closed, not sure if he is thinking about something or dozing off.

Usually at this time, everyone agrees not to disturb him.

Abel briefly popularized the distribution of power in the new world to the two of them. During this time, people finally began to participate in the bidding in the box on the second floor.

"Two hundred million Baileys." A woman's voice came out under the effect of the speakerphone bug.

"The Red and Black Pirates on the second floor offered [-] million Baileys!" The host raised his voice, and with the addition of the big pirates on the second floor, the amount also rose rapidly.

"It's Annie, the red madman." Alder said with a smile, "She really is the first one who can't sit still."

——Just like her title, she has a bad temper and can't hold her breath.

Gray opened his eyes, yawned, and then complained slowly: "What's the matter, is it already [-] million?"

"After all, you can build a large three-masted sailing ship."

"Ha, we can't use such a big boat." Gray scratched his hair, "Now the bidding starts on the second floor."

After Red Crazy Annie participated in the auction, the pirates on the first floor were almost silent, only a few pirate groups were still following the auction.

On the one hand, it is not worthwhile to unite with the red and black pirates for a piece of Adam wood. On the other hand, many pirates have other things they want to shoot, so it is not safe to spend all their funds on Adam wood.

"The Red and Black Pirates bid 5000 million Baileys, [-] million Baileys once. The Sword Pirates bid [-] million Baileys!"

"The Black Prince Pirates offer [-] million Baileys!"

"The Avengers Pirates bid 5000 million Baileys!"

With the host's higher and higher quotations, the price of Adam wood was raised higher and higher, which obviously exceeded its own value.

"You don't want to rob me, do you?" The voice of the captain of the Red and Black Pirates can already hear the anger. She is recognized by the New World as having a violent temper, and usually no one would provoke her.

After the pirates on the first floor were sure that they were hopeless, they stopped bidding and turned quiet, and all went to listen to the sound on the second floor with the mentality of watching the excitement.

"Annie, I remember that your ship has just been replaced, why bother to fight us for a piece of Adam wood." Black Prince Sam said helplessly.

Cotton Jack also said: "Give us the Adam wood, and we won't want anything else. You are a woman, and you are so powerful, it is of no use to you."

Tracy quietly listened to the quarrels of the other three captains, did not speak, and wanted to wait for Gray's reaction.

Afterwards, perhaps because she was tired of hearing it, or because Cotton Jack had touched her bottom line, Annie the Crazy Red became even more impatient.

"I'm listening to your blind comparisons? [-] million Baileys!" The red lunatic Annie raised the price again.

"[-] million Baileys! The red and black pirates bid [-] million Baileys, is there any bid!"

"Isn't this nonsense." Bud was annoyed, "One plus is 5000 million, really rich and powerful."

"Hahaha, we are also rich and powerful." Gray picked up the amplified phone bug and coughed twice.

"Black Fireworks bid a billion Baileys."
