Time Travel: Age of Discovery

After a lengthy story, a portly man finally won the prize for 300 million berries. Everyone ignored his scornful expression and waited for the grand finale.

"Everyone, you have been waiting for a long time. Today's final treasure is here, please take a look!" Two maids each held a golden plate, and under the red cloth was what was suspected to be a devil fruit.

Teya's curiosity surged again, and he tilted his head slightly, concentrating on the double-staffed dishes. The red cloth on the left was lifted, and the audience looked disdainful, as if disappointed with the result.

boom--

"Are you guys kidding me? You dare show off a mere Animal-type Devil Fruit to others?" The tall bald man in the back row roared, and many people echoed him, seeming to agree with what he said.

"Sir, please calm down and listen to what I have to say." The host straightened his collar and said seriously, "This is not an ordinary animal-related fruit, but a fruit that is suspected to be from a rare animal-related fruit."

The emcee's words were sincere, but the crowd didn't buy it. This was because everyone had read through the Devil Fruit atlas and found that rare animal-related species were rarely recorded. The so-called suspicion was actually a lie.

However, Toya stared at the banana-shaped Devil Fruit, his eyes burning with eagerness. He felt desperate, wanting to acquire anything he could find in the Animal category. He was also puzzled by the lack of information on rare Animal category species. Did everyone else rely on luck to obtain the fruit?

The crowd's discontent was palpable, and many stood up to argue with the emcee. Teya stared intently at the fruit.

The banana-shaped Devil Fruit was undoubtedly of the Zoological type, but its green color was rather strange. Toa felt it resembled a bunch of unripe bananas.

"Everyone, please be quiet. According to the information we have collected, most animal-type devil fruits are reddish, but this one is green, so I dare to offer it to you." At this time, the bald man said sarcastically, "Hey, in my opinion, this fruit may not be ripe yet."

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.

The middle-aged man might have originally intended another one, but this one might be a rare animal series and must be obtained. Teya learned in advance that the auction item only needs to be reported as a "collector" to pay. They all have pre-deposited Bailey and can be called investors in the black market.

Otherwise, I'll pay the fee in advance and buy the fruit?

"I say, we are bored with this broken banana. Let's move on to the next thing. If you continue like this, we will leave." The bald man spoke again.

The emcee ignored him and proceeded with the bidding. The starting price was a staggering 200 million berries, all because of its supposed rarity. As Teya had expected, no one showed interest. After a moment, he raised his sign.

"Oh! This gentleman bids 200 million Baileys! Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?" No one bid again until the host tapped the table.

It seems that although everyone is interested in devil fruits, no one is willing to take the risk of such an unclear fruit, or they only care about its value.

Teya didn't care, even if it was just an ordinary animal, it wouldn't matter. At this moment, he was in the middle of a big gamble.

After all, the middle-aged man's identity and the truth behind the black market made him extremely eager to explore. Or rather, this was a gamble with his life. Even though Teya was not completely sure because he still had little understanding, the truth was still hidden in the darkness, like the mystery of the far side of the moon.

"In order not to spoil everyone's interest, let's directly bid for the next devil fruit." These words made everyone's expressions relax a little, and they all stared at the golden plate intently.

When the red cloth was unveiled, everyone in the room was stunned and stood up, including Teya. This fruit had actually appeared here!

Teya was momentarily in disbelief. According to the original plot, such a fruit shouldn't be there. On the golden plate, a tiny red heart-shaped Devil Fruit lay. However, everyone knew it was the legendary Parahuman Operation Fruit, which grants immortality.

Teya quietly observed the others and immediately sensed something was amiss. Almost everyone's eyes were filled with greed, determined to get what they wanted. This matter was no longer determined by the price offered.

The surgery fruit carries with it the power of sarcasm, like a time bomb, ready to go off.
