Moria the Pirate

But Moria was not the only one who was interested in this Adam tree. Such an Adam tree had not been seen for many years. Therefore, everyone at the scene was very interested in this Adam tree.

As soon as the old man started bidding, someone immediately made a bid.

"600 million Baileys"

"I'll bid 650 million Baileys."

"800 million"

...

In the blink of an eye, the price of this Adam tree exceeded 1.2 billion Baileys.

Moria had no time to bid. The price of this Adam tree had exceeded the range that Moria could afford.

On Moria's ship, after so many days of fighting, the Bailey on the ship had reached 1.5 billion. However, the expenses on the ship and the expenses for the crew, Moria could only use about 1.2 billion Baileys.

Moreover, looking at the crazy look of the crowd, the price was still rising. 1.2 billion Baileys was far from the highest price. For Moria, it was impossible to auction off the Adam tree.

I just don't know who will auction off this Adam tree in the end.

Finally, after a fierce competition, the Adam tree was sold for 1.56 billion Baileys.

The people who won the auction looked like a chamber of commerce. At this time, there were many pirates in the auction room looking greedily at the place where they were sitting, and it seemed that they were waiting for the auction to start.

The representative of the chamber of commerce seemed to be fine and continued to wait for the next auction item to appear. The guards following him felt the greedy eyes of many people and released their momentum. Feeling that they were not easy to mess with, many pirates withdrew their prying eyes, but Moria knew that all this was just appearance, and I don’t know how many people were making small calculations behind the scenes.

Moria retracted his gaze and continued to concentrate on the auction table, looking forward to the next auction item.

The first auction item was such a treasure, which greatly aroused everyone’s interest, and they all concentrated on looking forward to the next item.

This is a small item covered with exquisite red cloth.

"I believe everyone can't wait. After the fierce bidding just now, everyone is looking forward to this item."

"Okay, let's take a look without saying too much!"

After that, the old man lifted the red cloth and revealed the hidden item.

This is a bunch of bananas, but this is not an ordinary banana. This banana is red, and there are many strange patterns on the banana. Yes, this is an animal-type devil fruit.

Instantly, the auction hall was noisy.

"Let me introduce it to you. This is an animal-type devil fruit, and it is very precious. It is an ancient species in the animal system-the velociraptor form."

"With this devil fruit, you will have powerful strength and unparalleled speed. I wish you to join the ranks of the strong."

"Okay, this devil fruit starts at 300 million, and each bid must not be less than 10 million Baileys."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, many pirates began to bid.

"400 million Baileys."

"430 million Baileys, our Demon Pirates want it."

"Tsk, 500 million Baileys, it belongs to the White Fang Pirates."

"Damn it, this ship has grown 530 million Baileys."

...

Although there are many people competing this time, most of the bids are from some pirate groups, and the devil fruit, although very precious, is still not as rare as the giant Adam tree in the first auction, so when the price reached 600 million, it stopped.

"640 million Baileys, is there a higher price?"

The old man said on the auction table.

"670 million Baileys"

Another voice came from behind at this time.

"Okay, 670 million, 670 million once."

"670 million twice"

Just when the old man was about to shout for the third time, a voice of 700 million came.

"Very good, 700 million Baileys, is there a higher price?"

The old man said after hearing this.

Finally, after bidding, this ancient species animal devil fruit of the velociraptor was sold for 710 million berries.

Moria was not interested in this devil fruit, after all, he had already eaten one.

Although this ancient devil fruit was very good, Moria felt that the price was already too high, and it was more reasonable to sell this fruit at 500 million berries.

Without thinking too much, Moria continued to look at the next auction item. This was an antique, very gorgeous and noble, but it was not so attractive to pirates. On the contrary, those nobles and businessmen were very enthusiastic and actually auctioned it at a sky-high price of 1.2 billion berries.

I really don’t know what those people think, using so much money to buy a useless decoration, maybe this is the world of the local tyrants, Moria sighed.

The next auction items were all treasures without exception, such as seastone weapons, cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, and various slaves, etc., all of which were sold at high prices without exception.

There was something that attracted Moria. He had his eyes on a big knife. Although it was not a famous knife, it was very sharp and powerful. It was no worse than some famous knives. Moria had the idea of ​​buying it. Moria called a price, but soon someone offered a higher price. The price of the knife soon reached 800 million Baileys.

At that time, Moria felt that there was only one thought in his mind: this knife must be auctioned.

Therefore, Moria almost shouted out a high price of 1 billion at that time, but Moria's strong consciousness quickly came back to his senses. In the end, Moria did not yell out and watched other people keep bidding.

In the end, the knife was sold for a sky-high price of 1.3 billion beli.

Looking at the old man's final decision, the sword was swatted away by a pirate.

Moria suddenly discovered that most of the auction items here were sold at unreasonable and sky-high prices. Even when Moria was bidding on this knife just now, he almost shouted a high price of 1 billion. If it weren't for the fact that Moria has been impacted by the shadow's consciousness during these days, and his own consciousness has become much stronger, I'm afraid it would be difficult to break free from it.

If you were outside, you could spend 600 million beli to buy some precious meteorite and hire a master to make this knife. Perhaps a higher price is acceptable because you want to make money at an auction, but the astronomical price of 1.3 billion beli has completely deviated from the original value of this knife. 1.3 billion beli is enough to buy a 21st-grade sharp knife.

In the next auction, Moria no longer paid attention to the items on the auction table, but used his knowledge and domineering attitude to inquire about the situation in the entire auction venue.

Moria found that people seemed to have entered a state of frenzy, and the auction items were all bought at prices that were twice, three times, or even higher than the value of the items themselves. If the price occasionally appears to be one or two times higher than the item itself, this may be the reason why the buyer likes the item very much. But if such unreasonably high prices always appear, it is worth pondering.

Moreover, Moria discovered that the people sitting in the VIP seats did not make a move once. Perhaps they already knew that even if they made a bid, the item would end up being sold at an unreasonably high price. At the same time, there were still some people in the field who were not present, which were the places where Moriah felt that his life could be threatened. Others in the field were bidding frantically, and the prices were higher than the others.

Even Kane, who was sitting next to Moria, seemed to be affected. Kane only had 10,000 Baileys, and he actually wanted to make a bid.

"Wake up, Kane"

Moria knocked Kane on the head with his hand and said.

"Master, what's wrong with me?"

Kane, who had woken up, asked with a cold sweat breaking out from his back after he figured it out.

"I'm afraid, this is a devil fruit ability, and people here have been affected a lot."

Moria stared solemnly at the plain-looking old man on the stage and whispered.
