Pirate Catcher in the Rye

Tatata!

A rush of footsteps came from the auction house, and a man in a suit and leather shoes trotted out with a group of maids.

The person in charge was also shocked when he heard the news reported by the guards.

He just released the news as usual. Unexpectedly, this time, he actually alerted a 'giant dragon'!

That's right,

In his eyes, the Hawkins Pirates are already equivalent to the superpower of the New World.

More important than his boss, Duke Lip of the Kingdom of Wiknia!

"Your Excellency is...Captain Hawkins II?" The person in charge saw the tall Hawkins standing at the front at first sight.

However, there was also some hesitation at the same time. The person in front of him didn't look like a strong man at all.

But he knew all the people behind Hawkins. There was no doubt that they were indeed the Hawkins Pirates!

"Lead the way!" Hawkins waved his hand and had no intention of chatting with him. The auction was about to start in 5 minutes.

"Yes, yes, I will take you and your crew to the best private room in our business immediately!" the person in charge said hurriedly.

At the same time, he ordered several beautiful maids to lead the way!

quickly,

Led by several maids, everyone arrived at the private room on the second floor. There were three large tables in the entire room, and there were various delicacies, desserts and drinks on the tables.

The private room is facing the auction table on the first floor. The view is very wide and the distance is not too far.

When he was in Beihai, Hawkins also participated in various auctions. The person in charge did not lie, the location was indeed very good!

"Captain, you can just call me Luo Er. If you have any products you are interested in, I can introduce them to you."

"As the person in charge of this auction house, I know more about the products, and I am definitely more detailed than what the auctioneer introduced!"

Luo Er said with respect.

After everyone took their seats, they consciously took a step back and stood behind Hawkins.

"What kind of devil fruit is today?" Hawkins asked.

"There are two Devil Fruits being auctioned today, both with animal-type abilities."

"One is an animal-type bird fruit, in the form of a bald eagle, and the other is an animal-type snake fruit, a blunt-tailed two-headed snake!"

Rolle introduced with enthusiasm.

With the addition of the Hawkins Pirates, this product can definitely be sold at a high price.

After a pause, Rohr continued:

"Although it is just an ordinary animal type, Devil Fruit is a great secret treasure in the sea after all. This kind of ordinary animal type Devil Fruit has been sold for more than [-] million Baileys in the past."

"Apart from…"

"One time when a flea fruit was auctioned, only 2 million beli were sold!"

Flea fruit?

Hawkins slightly understood.

Although the ability is pretty good, especially the strengthening of leg strength, which is an unparalleled blessing, it is indeed a bit disgusting.

"Has that fruit been eaten? It always seems very suitable for Sanji!" Reiju blinked and said.

She remembered that Sanji's title was "Blackfoot", and he was also the type who fought with his legs, which should be very helpful to him.

"What a considerate and good sister!"

Hawkins sighed.

Thinking about Sanji's legs turning into flea legs, it is possible that he also has a strange physique that attracts fleas.

I'm afraid Sanji will never find a girlfriend in the future!

"I don't know. We are only responsible for the auction and will not track the whereabouts of the auction items."

"The new world has new world rules..."

"Tracking the sold goods will inevitably lead to suspicions of cheating, and Liproo will not be able to become the largest auction house!"

Rohr said with a serious face that this rule was personally formulated by his boss, Duke Lip.

After all, this is a new world, and taking advantage of others is a matter of killing the goose that lays the goose to lay the egg. If they are unlucky and offend those superpowers, they will be doomed!

"Hey, it's already started!"

At this moment, a burly man walked out. Obviously, he was the host of the auction.

only…

With this body type and appearance, he looks silly. Is he really suitable for being an auctioneer?

"Liproau Auction House does not have professional auctioneers, and our reputation does not require such small means as stirring up the atmosphere."

"Because only the real big customers can come in, and there are only a few 120 buyers. No one wants to waste time."

"The captain shouldn't mind this kind of process!"

Oh?

Hawkins nodded and expressed satisfaction. He was here to buy something, not to watch a show.

If you have to wait several hours for those final products, it is indeed a waste of time!

"The first item, one of the fifty good swordsmen, Nagaso Yakotetsu!!!" the host said.

Simultaneously,

Two maids came out with a beautiful box and opened it directly, revealing Nagasoya Kotetsu inside.

boom!

The whole hall suddenly became noisy. Even if it was just a good sword, it was a world-famous sword.

There are only 83 knives on the list in the entire world, plus some of them are missing.

It can be said that it is extremely precious!

"What a wonderful opening, but it's a pity that it's a short sword, which doesn't match my swordsmanship at all!" Isiah shook his head with slight regret.

Before coming to the New World, he made a bet with Dent and Brent on the island where human traffickers gathered - Elisalal, and he won that time.

Therefore, when he encounters a weapon that he likes, he has priority.

Isiah turned to look at Deent and Brent. Among the cadres, they were the only ones who were swordsmen!

"Huh~ Forget it, I'm used to using a long knife, there's no need to change my fighting style just for a knife."

"I'm not interested either!"

Unfortunately, all three of them used long knives, but their weapons were slightly different.

Isiah's knife is relatively light, Brent's knife is wide, and Deent is more focused on weight!

Compared to that sharp knife, their current weapons were only lacking in sharpness and hardness, and were tailor-made in other aspects.

"One million Baileys!"

"One million Baileys!"

"One million Baileys!"

...

Soon, people downstairs started bidding, and the price increased faster than Hawkins expected.

You know, Sauron's Word of Peace is only valued at over 1000 million beli!

It seems that just like Devil Fruit, although there is a minimum valuation price, the transaction price is far higher.

However, most of the people present were not swordsmen, so they probably bought it just for collection!

Not long after, the first auction item quickly found its owner, a famous sword, and was acquired by a swordsman for 7000 million beli.

"The following is the second auction item, the golden scepter of the Kingdom of Sirens. The gems above the scepter alone are worth 5000 million beli."

"Then start bidding now!"

As the host finished speaking, people began to bid one after another, mostly nobles and ministers.

Hawkins glanced at the bidders below. Most of them were nobles from the Kingdom of Wikonia. It seemed that these people were very ambitious. Everyone wanted to be the master of this country!

Although a scepter means nothing, the Kingdom of Sirens is a big country famous all over the world.

It wasn't until 200 years ago that a large-scale war broke out with the giant kingdom Elbaf, and it declined. Now it has become history!

Afterwards, the precious auction items were taken out one by one, and Hawkins finally saw the pattern of the new world.

It can be said that every piece is priceless, and none of them are fake!

"Only the last two are left, which are the devil fruits you just asked about."

"In the auction just now, most people didn't bid. They probably came for the two Devil Fruits."

“There are a lot of people coming this time, so the price should be higher than before!”

Rohr explained softly.

He pointed at the crowd below, because they had all read the catalog in advance, and now everyone was cheering up.

"It doesn't matter, it won't double if it goes up again, unless it's a malicious bidding!" Hawkins nodded indifferently.

Of the two Devil Fruits, the ability of the bald eagle form is relatively ordinary, but because it can fly, the price should go up a lot.

As for the blunt-tailed two-headed snake, the specific effect is unknown. Judging from the name alone, it should be a very good ability!
