Chapter 54 The arrival of Redfield Navy
The auction sequence represented by this sickle is in the middle and last position, and is not considered the finale.
The finale is the precious mantis fruit.
It is unimaginable that such an auction is completely different from what Hades expected. There are no various rare treasures, but most of them are arms.
Either from the Vulcan Company, the Fengshen Company, or the king of arms in the underground world.
Some are like arms wholesale fairs.
During the auction, another famous sword appeared. It was not the one that Hades valued. It was one of the "Fifty Good and Quick Knives".
Compared with the scythe auctioned by Hades, the auction of this good sword was obviously more popular, and it was finally sold at a high price of 16 million.
In terms of quality, Hades's scythe is definitely better, but it is not as popular as the quick knife.
Finally, "Next is the grand finale of this auction, the top animal devil fruit, the Mantis Fruit!"
The auction that lasted for a long time made many people a little tired. The auctioneer cheered loudly and tried to make the scene more lively.
A green Devil Fruit with sickle-like leaves standing up on both sides.
That was the main goal in the minds of many here.
"The starting price is 20 million!"
This made Hades very interesting. In the future, Devil Fruits would start with a high price of 100 million Baileys, but now they only cost 20 million Baileys.
And this is the top mantis fruit among the animal devil fruits. The mantis fruit is very famous in the sea, and most of its ability users are not weak.
Vice Admiral, great pirate, a strong man, he can be said to be very active.
History has proven how powerful this Devil Fruit is, and it would be enough for the people with its abilities to write a book.
If the seller hadn't been a powerful lone ranger, this Devil Fruit would have been stolen by the forces behind the auction.
As for that person, Hades couldn't help but turn his head and look at the back of the auction house, a noble-like figure with blood-stained clothes and blood-haired hair, and a purple umbrella sword hanging from his waist.
As if aware of Hades' gaze, the man looked at Hades at the same time.
Same-sex attraction, Hades felt his aloofness, and the man also felt Hades's dominance.
The two of them are still the only two nobles in this auction, and they are also on the list of people they cannot mess with.
They were both a little curious and equally unable to see through each other.
He withdrew his gaze tacitly.
"Baroric Redfield."
Hades muttered the name silently.
In the future, the legendary pirates who will be able to stand alongside Roger, Skye, and Edward Newgate based on their strength alone, the lone ranger of the sea, "The Lonely Red", and the "Red Earl" have now begun to show their prominence on the sea.
A powerful monster, the moment he saw him, Hades felt as if he had been seen through.
Of course not. Also possessing the natural domineering power of seeing and hearing, Hades has the ability to resist Redfield's prying eyes.
That kind of mind-reading ability is really overbearing.
Similarly, Redfield also felt that his natural strength had rarely failed.
It's like meeting someone of the same kind.
Because his whereabouts were too secretive, Redfield did not join the Rocks Pirates.
"It's really interesting." A smile appeared on Redfield's face. This was the first time he felt like this.
But this is just a small episode, the auction is still going on.
The price of mantis fruits continued to rise, and soon reached 42 million beli.
A relatively powerful Devil Fruit has almost reached its limit at this point.
At this time, Hades realized what a huge sum of money the three billion Baileys he had on him was.
To what extent will prices rise in the future chaos of the sea?
However, this will not affect the Kingdom of Kronos. The main currency of the Kingdom of Kronos is the Walker, which is directly linked to silver and will not be affected by the devaluation of Bailey.
In contrast, Bailey's devaluation will only make Walker more valuable.
The more powerful a kingdom is, the more independent its currency will be, reducing its dependence on Pele.
The stronger one is the Hilton Kingdom, where the circulating gold is directly linked to gold.
Of course, it wouldn't be possible without Pele.
I also plan to spend all the Bailey Hades I have on me as soon as possible, because in the next few decades, Bailey will become less and less valuable.
The amount of money auctioned for mantis fruits is rising more and more slowly, and it seems that reaching 42 million is the limit.
"Fifty million!"
Hades made a bid, which was a direct increase of eight million from the original price.
The entire venue fell into silence, which was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. No one could compete with Hades anymore.
The mantis fruit is easy to get.
Walk out of the auction venue.
Before they had taken a few steps, the alarm sounded, and pirates and criminals ran towards them one after another, trying to escape to the other side of the island.
"No! The navy is coming!"
"The whole island is surrounded!"
"We can't get out!"
……
The sudden news shocked everyone. Standing on a high place, you could see from a distance that there were navy warships patrolling around Kent Island, and the muzzles of each gun were facing the shore of the island.
At the port, it was surrounded by naval warships. All pirate ships and merchant ships were within the range of the artillery.
The navy came suddenly and at the right time.
Just as the auction was coming to an end, the core figures and high-end forces of the entire island gathered at the auction venue.
By the time they got the news and reacted, it was too late.
The navy quietly completed its layout and surrounded the island.
"Fire me! Cut off these guys' hope of escape!"
Vic looked at the approaching port with a cruel smile on his face.
After losing the pirate ship, dealing with the island's evil will be as easy as catching a turtle in an urn.
"boom!"
"boom!"
……
The artillery fired a volley, and the shells shot towards the port like meteors falling from the sky.
In such a scene, the pirates in the entire port fled in a hurry, not even paying attention to the pirate ship.
There was no way they could survive such a bombardment.
Destructive power.
"boom!"
A nearly sky-high explosion and just three rounds of artillery fire destroyed 90% of the ships in the entire port.
Smoke filled the air, and the warship slowly approached, smashing into some remaining wreckage.
One by one, sailors lined up from the warships and quickly occupied the port of Kent Island.
Three naval vice-admirals, headed by Vic, were at the forefront.
