"I never expected the Don Quixote family would actually put it up for auction!"

"Yes, a Devil Fruit costs at least 1 million Berries, and it's priceless."

"And some of them you buy without even knowing what kind of fruit they are. This is the Paramecia-type Gold-Gold Fruit, which allows you to control gold! If I eat it, I'll be the richest person on the sea!"

The people at the auction started talking excitedly when they saw the Golden Fruit being served.

But Doflamingo looked at the crowd below and sneered.

"You don't really think I'd let a bunch of trash like you buy this fruit, do you?"

Doflamingo had already arranged for someone to be there to support him. No matter how much others shouted, that person would shout more than anyone else, and in the end, the Gold-Gold Fruit would still return to his own hands.

Trebol then tapped the table and announced, "Gold-Gold Fruit, starting price 1 million Berries, each bid must be at least 1000 million Berries, let's begin."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the auction hall was tense and exciting, with people below the stage raising their paddles and excitedly participating in the bidding.

With each shout, the price skyrocketed like a rocket, quickly surpassing 10 billion Berries.

However, as prices soared, the number of bidders gradually decreased, and the scene fell into a brief silence.

At this crucial moment, Doflamingo's carefully arranged subordinates finally began to make their bids.

The price skyrocketed, quickly reaching an astonishing 20 billion Berries!

At this moment, the entire room erupted in an uproar, and no one dared to bid again.

Doflamingo sat to the side, his brows furrowed, secretly surprised.

He originally thought that Luo Tian and his group would make a move to compete for the earlier items, but to his surprise, they remained inactive until the final golden fruit appeared.

Seeing that his people had already driven the price up to such an astonishing level, while Luo Tian remained completely unresponsive, he was truly puzzled and uneasy.

Suddenly, Luo Tian's crew members began to get up and leave their seats, their movements swift and orderly.

Doflamingo's heart tightened; he immediately realized the situation was dire. He turned to his subordinates and shouted:

"Quick! Protect that fruit!"

But it was all too late.

Luo Tian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

"I don't even want to make a price offer. Goodbye, Flamingo."

Immediately afterwards, he activated his ability.

"pause"

In an instant, the entire auction house seemed to freeze, with everyone and everything standing still.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Tian calmly walked onto the stage, gently picked up the golden fruit on the table, and put it into his pocket.

Then, he turned and left as if nothing had happened. After he had walked a distance, Luo Tian used his ability again to undo the time stop.

The auction hall was thrown into chaos after things returned to normal, as people were horrified to discover that the Golden Fruit had vanished.

Doflamingo was furious. His eyes widened as he stared intently at the table that had once held the Gold-Gold Fruit, now empty, and roared at his subordinates:

"Damn it! Seal off the entire island immediately! We absolutely cannot let Luo Tian and the others escape!"

Doflamingo's already somewhat ferocious face instantly twisted, and the veins on his forehead bulged as if they were about to burst through his skin.

"Luo Tian!"

The roar was like a thunderclap, causing the entire auction house to tremble slightly.

With his roar, a powerful and suffocating Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted.

This domineering aura was so real that it transformed into a whirlwind that swept across the surroundings. Wherever it passed, people felt difficulty breathing, and some even collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, Luo Tian and his group were hurrying towards the Dragon Soar.

Along the way, they encountered many of Don Quixote family henchmen who came to ambush them.

However, these people were no match for the powerful Yamato and his companions.

With a flash, Yamato moved through the crowd like a ghost, each strike leaving a trail of blood.

The others were not to be outdone, each displaying their best skills, and before long, all the surrounding enemies had fallen.

Just as Luo Tian and his companions were about to board the Dragon Soar, Doflamingo descended upon them like a demon god, stepping through the void.

With a wave of his right hand, countless colorful threads shot out, like an impenetrable net, directly enveloping Luo Tian and the others.

Faced with this sudden attack, Hawkeye Mihawk, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly moved.

He swiftly drew the black sword Night from his back, flicked his wrist, and unleashed a burst of sword energy that collided fiercely with the five-colored threads shot out by Doflamingo.

With a deafening roar, the shockwave from the collision tore apart the surrounding air, creating visible gusts of air that spread in all directions.

Luo Tian also leaped from the Dragon Soaring towards Doflamingo in the air.

"You think you're so arrogant just because you came alone? You think you're so great? There were a lot of people outside the auction house. Now you'd better kneel down and admit your mistake!"

Although Doflamingo noticed Luo Tian's attack, he was already too late to react.

With a loud "bang," Luo Tianfei kicked Doflamingo hard.

This kick was incredibly powerful, knocking Doflamingo off the plane.

Seeing this, Yamato's eyes flashed with a cunning light.

She quickly reached for her spiked club and aimed it at Doflamingo, who was plummeting rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, she swung her spiked club with all her might, striking Doflamingo's body like a baseball.

With another muffled "boom," Doflamingo was blasted back onto the island like a cannonball.

With a cloud of dust and flying gravel, he crashed heavily to the ground, creating a deep crater.

Seeing this, Luo Tian gave Yamato a high five.

"Well done, Yamato."

"hey-hey."

Then Luo Tian shouted to Dan, "Dan, hurry up and set sail, we need to get out of here!"

"Yes, Captain."

Dan returned to the driver's seat, preparing to evacuate the Don Quixote family's territory.

Luo Tian took out the Golden Fruit, found Tesoro who had stayed on the ship, and handed him the Golden Fruit.

Luo Tian didn't invite Tesoro along for this mission, but instead left him on the ship to facilitate Tesoro's future business cooperation with Doflamingo.

"This time, Doflamingo only knows that we did it, and he doesn't know about you. After you eat it, you claim that you stole it from me. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Doflamingo won't do anything to you when you develop your career in the future."
