One Piece: Start as a mythical beast, practice to become stronger

After a fierce competition, a man in a black robe finally won the devil fruit at a high price.

Jin An watched the fruit being taken away, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.

While he was deep in thought, Yisheng turned to him and said:

"You can actually buy devil fruits."

"With the money I have here, I can easily buy eight or ten of them."

Jin An smiled, waved his hand and said:

"Haha, that's not necessary. We're already very grateful to you for bringing us in."

"Of course I can pay for the purchase myself."

Yisheng frowned and looked at Jinan and Tianyue, wondering:

"But......"

"Really, no need."

Jin An patted Yisheng's shoulder with a confident smile on his face.

"Don't look at me like this, I still have some assets."

Jin'an was not exaggerating; his businesses now spread across the South China Sea and were expanding to all parts of the world.

The only place where he needs to spend a lot of money is to secretly invest in those forces, but even so, he can control huge wealth.

Despite this, he was still a little confused. Could it be that his previous premonition was wrong?

Isn't this stuff working for him?

But he also felt that the devil fruit had an inexplicable attraction to him, just like the attraction that the light had to him when he was unconscious.

He murmured to himself:

"Maybe I can actually buy a fruit and try it..."

Just as he was thinking, a long and narrow object covered with black cloth was placed on the auction table.

Disco's eyes lit up with enthusiasm, and he announced loudly:

"You can tell what this auction item is from its shape."

He paused to whet everyone's appetite, then continued:

"It is a powerful killing weapon that can easily cut hair and even steel."

"I can assure you that it will definitely raise your strength to a higher level."

Everyone present was attracted by Disco's words, and a strong curiosity appeared in their eyes.

Seeing this, Diske smiled with satisfaction.

"Well... let me reveal the answer..."

He kept the question mysterious and then suddenly pulled back the black cloth covering the object.

A flash of cold light appeared, causing everyone present to look away.

Even if it lies there quietly, you can feel the sharpness it exudes.

"This is the item for this auction, the twenty-first work of the great sharp sword - Baochang Zhenji!"

Disco announced excitedly.

The audience was instantly in an uproar and started talking about it.

Yisheng stared at the knife intently, with a surge of excitement in his heart.

Tian Yueshi was also surprised. She had never seen such a sharp weapon.

Jin An frowned slightly and thought to himself, "This knife is indeed quite good. If we can get it, it may be of great help to others."

In their small group, only Jinan and Shiryu can be called swordsmen. Although Shanks is still growing, he has the foundation of a swordsman.

And they still don't have a suitable weapon.

He had already made up his mind and was ready to participate in the auction.

Having used a knife throughout his life, he could feel the power contained in it. However, to him, the knife was only a medium to activate his abilities, and he did not have such high requirements for the knife.

And he already has the 'Black Fire Line', so he has no interest in other knives.

"..."

The atmosphere in the auction hall became tense again, and everyone's eyes were focused on the knife.

Disco had a victorious smile on his face, he knew that the climax of this auction was about to come.

"Then, let's start the bidding now! The starting price is 6 million Baileys, and each bid increase must not be less than million Baileys!"

Disco announced loudly, his voice echoing throughout the auction hall.

This price can be said to be the highest starting price of this auction, and Baochang Zhenji is worthy of this price.

"6 billion Baileys!"

"I'll pay 6.2 million Baileys!"

"7 billion Baileys!"

As the bidding progressed, prices soared rapidly and the atmosphere in the auction hall reached a fever pitch.

Everyone stared at the knife nervously.

This may be the first time in their lives that they will be so close to the famous sword.

Although there were constant bidding sounds in the auction hall, in reality, not many people were really interested in this famous sword.

After all, although famous swords are very valuable, most people who come to the auction are not swordsmen, and they need to spend their money on more important things.

Therefore, most people are not that interested in this knife.

However, for those true swordsmen, a good sword is like a treasure, and they would be willing to spend all their money to buy it.

Shimotsuki Ushimaru was one of these swordsmen. He stared at the knife with burning eyes, his fingers trembling slightly, and his heart was full of desire.

However, although he was the daimyo of Wano Country, he could not come up with so much money and could only watch the famous sword being taken away by others in the auction.

Shimotsuki Ushimaru sighed helplessly, with a hint of regret in his eyes.

There was a deep sense of powerlessness in his eyes, which lingered in his heart for a long time and could not be dispelled.

The person who took the photo of the knife was naturally Jin An.

When he got the knife, he felt its sharpness. The blade flashed coldly under the light, as if it could cut through everything.

He swung the knife lightly, feeling its weight and balance, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"Good knife!"

However, he also felt somewhat disapproving.

Although this knife is extremely sharp, it is just a big knife, and the one hanging on Jin An's waist is an unrivaled big knife.

In comparison, this knife seemed much inferior in his eyes.

Tian Yueshi stood aside, watching Jinan's actions, his eyes full of curiosity.

She knew that Jin An was a man with great vision, and anything that caught his eye must be extraordinary.

“Is this knife really that powerful?”

Tian Yueshi couldn't help but ask, she only had a superficial understanding of swords.

Jin An smiled slightly and handed the knife to Tian Yueshi, asking her to feel it. Tian Yueshi took it carefully and shuddered when she felt the coldness of the knife.

"This knife is indeed sharp, but it's not sharp enough for me."

Jin An said calmly.

Tian Yueshi nodded and handed the knife to Jinan.

She knew that Jinan's vision was different from others and he pursued higher goals.

With the sale of the famous sword, the atmosphere in the auction hall eased slightly.

When Disco saw this scene, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

This auction is far from over, and more exciting items are yet to come.

“Next, we will display more important items, please stay tuned!”

Disco announced loudly, his voice full of passion.

The attention of everyone present was once again focused on the auctioneer, and their eyes were once again focused on the auction table.

Disco waved his hand, signaling the staff to bring up the next item.

For a moment, the entire auction hall returned to its tense atmosphere, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the next item to be revealed.
