One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 14: Hasty Auction

A few days later again.

Apart from daily training, Sakaski was very silent these days. He used the remaining money to buy some gifts and then did not go out again. He read two books carefully by himself.

After reading it once, I read it again, hoping to find the answer.

Ross had no intention of disturbing the other party. After receiving the notification that the auction he had been expecting had begun, he quietly left the hotel with a suitcase full of Baileys in his hand.

In this era before the Battle of Valley of the Gods, the value of Pele was more than three or four times that of the Age of Discovery.

An unknown devil fruit is not worth 100 million just talk. In the future, it may even reach 400 to 500 million in an auction!
Unlike the original anime where devil fruits are everywhere, in the real world of pirates, devil fruits are rare creatures that can be compared to first-class protected animals!

Most of them are animal-type devil fruits. One hundred million? This is just the starting price of a parahuman-type devil fruit.

But fortunately, his goal was not publicized and was only labeled as "an unknown devil fruit."

However, there is always a shortage of people who know the value of things on the sea, and he doesn't know if the 1 billion Baileys he has prepared are enough to buy it.

The Ghost Fruit is a pretty good parahuman devil fruit!

"Huha! This time the devil fruit must be in the hands of our Mole Pirates! Guys, don't you agree?"

"Huff, huff, long live Captain Mole! The devil fruit must be obtained!"

"Hahahahaha, a mole named Kodero with a mere bounty of 20 million dares to speak so arrogantly. This devil fruit has long been coveted by our Rat Pirates. If you're smart, just take your rum and roll into the sea!"

"Hehehe, Captain Mouse is so domineering, show these moles a lesson!"

Every fruit auction would attract a considerable number of pirates, and this time was no exception.

Along the way, Ross saw many pirate ships docked on the shore, and pirates with bounties of tens of millions came one after another.

Almost all of them are this year’s supernovas.

This can be considered a tradition among pirates. Every year, the supernovas of pirates gather in Shampoo and head towards the New World together. Some die and some are recruited.

But unlike later generations, in today’s era, as long as the bounty exceeds 30 million, one can be called a supernova!
"The Celestial Dragons are coming! The Celestial Dragons are coming!"

"What! Those guys also did that! Doesn't that mean we can't get this devil fruit?"

"Damn it, guys, they are just Celestial Dragons, right? My father is a great pirate who retired from the New World. If a Celestial Dragon is killed, he will die too! What's there to be afraid of!"

“Bang! Boom!!”

Before the arrogant second-generation pirate could hear the compliments from his younger brothers, there was a loud bang and a three-meter-tall man in black appeared where he was, with a strange mask on his face.

"How dare you disrespect the Lord? You deserve to die!"

He shouted coldly in a low voice, and in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared and returned to the Celestial Dragon who appeared on his mount.

Because the great pirate Rocks has slaughtered the Celestial Dragons, every Celestial Dragon who goes out is now equipped with more guards, and two CP0s who are proficient in physical skills are standard.

And two CP0s who are proficient in physical skills can only mean two words in the small Sabaody Archipelago - invincible!
Most of the pirates at the scene were rookies who had come from all over the world. They stood there in a daze, looking at the huge pit that suddenly appeared in the distance and sighed:
"That was Gangzhi Pepesis, who had a bounty of 47 million! He just... just... fell in an instant!"

"Is this the Celestial Dragon? Every one of the guys around him has a strong sense of oppression. They are strong! Very strong!" "No, that's not right! Pepsis hasn't fallen yet, he's standing up!"

A pirate was seen looking at the huge pit in the distance with surprise. Under the broken and collapsed land, the figure of Pepesis slowly stood up.

But his condition was not very good. He had endured a full-strength attack from the CP0 agent. Many of his internal organs were shattered, blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his skin was scratched all over, making him look like a bloody man!
"Damn it! Don't underestimate me, bastard! I'm just a Celestial Dragon. My father saw him die back then--Ah!"

"Oh!"

Before Pepsis could finish his words, a bullet hit him in the head accurately. He fell on his back with a ferocious look on his face, and fell asleep peacefully in the pit.

Sniper!
This word appeared in everyone's mind, and then everyone became a little restless.

Even those pirates with bounties of tens of millions did the same. They retreated silently and took their men away from this place.

Either run away, or simply enter the auction house.

As for the remaining minions who had difficulty walking, they were not so lucky. When the bright red dust rolled from the other end of the road, one CP agent moved.

The bodies of the pirates were flying everywhere in the sky, and only the locals who were kneeling on the street survived.

Before long, the entire scene looked much cleaner and tidier.

When it comes to pomp and circumstance, the Tianlong people are considered to be among the most professional in the entire ocean.

Ross watched a good show in the clouds. Suddenly, he smiled in one direction, then drove the clouds slowly into the auction house, avoiding sight and keeping a low profile.

Just now, the sniper who shot Pepsis in the head pointed his gun at him. Judging from the emotions he could sense from his vision, the other party was quite nervous and scared.

In the original work, CP is a symbol of lameness, but that is only compared with high-end combat power. On the sea, the strongest middle-level organizations are the navy and CP! The second is the scattered New World Pirates.

Admission to the auction house is free, provided you have a standing seat, but you have to pay to enter the top box.

Ross was very low-key. He randomly found a seat in a corner and waited quietly for the auction to begin.

Soon, as time passed, the Celestial Dragons took their seats in the box, followed by some nobles, and the auction officially began amid the shouts of the pirates.

Auctions are very particular things. Generally speaking, the first products to appear are insignificant pre-production products.

But this time, the item put up for auction at the beginning caught Ross's attention.

"First, let's welcome our first lot, one of the third generation of the legendary demon sword series - the demon sword third generation Ashura!"

The first generation demon sword Ashura is one of the twelve supreme swords and one of the earliest demon sword series, on par with Kitetsu!

During his travels around the world, Ross had visited the Kingdom of Flowers, where there was a swordsmith second only to that of Wano Country, which naturally enriched his knowledge about swords.

He is a time traveler, so his journey around the world is not just a simple journey, it is more about collecting what important things that appeared in the original work can be collected!

For example, Sky Island! Ross had visited there and got everything he wanted.

"A demon sword... I'll buy it and play with it."
