#248 - Chapter 248 The Last Lot

The auction continued.

One after another, the auction items were showcased on the stage.

Compared to the previous Devil Fruit and renowned sword, the following items were slightly inferior, but still attracted attention.

Life-saving medicines, masterfully crafted armor and weapons, deadly tools, slaves of various races, and more were presented in turn, demonstrating the high caliber and diverse selection of the auction.

During the auction, Issho and Toki also participated in the bidding, acquiring quite a few items.

As time passed, their total expenditure had exceeded 1.5 billion Berries.

This figure surpassed the wealth of many people present.

Meanwhile.

On the other side of the venue, Buggy watched Jin with surprise and envy in his eyes.

"This guy is really loaded... so much money."

"How many merchant ships do I have to rob to gather enough..."

He muttered in a low voice, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

On the other side, the gazes of many pirate groups also focused on Jin and his companions.

"Spending over a billion Berries like water, what a fat sheep."

A pirate licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with greed.

"It's a waste to leave so much money with an idiot, just wait until the auction ends..."

"The fat sheep's money is my money, and my money is still my money!"

"......"

Although there was strict order and protection during the auction, the pirates chose to restrain themselves.

But their minds never stopped calculating, and as soon as the auction ended, undercurrents would surge outside the venue.

As the auction neared its end, the atmosphere inside the auction house became increasingly tense.

Those who were interested in the auction items continued to stare at the auction stage.

And the pirates' eyes were fixed on the "fat sheep" in their eyes—Jin and those who spent money lavishly.

Toki, holding the treasure she had just bid on, excitedly approached Jin.

"Look at this! It's a treasure map, I think we will definitely find a treasure that can rival a country's wealth through it in the future!"

Jin smiled and nodded.

"You might get unexpected gains through the treasure map, you can go look for it in the future."

His eyes swept around the auction venue, noticing many malicious gazes.

He frowned slightly, but then relaxed, as if nothing had happened.

Issho sat quietly on the side, holding the valuable information he had just bid on, with a faint smile on his face.

"With this information, we can avoid a lot of trouble during our voyage."

As the last item of the auction was brought onto the stage, the atmosphere inside the auction house reached its peak.

Everyone held their breath, nervously watching the item on the stage, anticipating the final bid.

"First of all, congratulations to the buyer of the previous item for obtaining their desired item, next up is the last item of our auction!"

Disco announced loudly, his voice echoing throughout the auction house.

His eyes gleamed with excitement, and the lights on the auction stage focused on the last item, revealing its mysterious veil.

The atmosphere in the entire auction house reached its climax, everyone nervously and expectantly watching the item on the stage, wondering what would happen next.

And behind them, the pirates' eyes became even more fiery, waiting for the moment after the auction ended.

"......"

"The last item is actually three items!"

Disco's voice echoed in the auction house, with a hint of mystery and excitement.

He suddenly lifted the black cloth covering the tray, and three items were displayed in front of everyone.

On the exquisite tray, there were actually three auction items, and two of the Devil Fruits immediately caused an uproar in the venue.

"Devil Fruit!"

Someone exclaimed, their voice filled with uncontrollable excitement.

The sound of breathing in the crowd became heavy, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the two fruits that shone with mysterious light.

"There are actually two more Devil Fruits!"

A merchant wearing a monocle murmured in disbelief.

"Including the Dog-Dog Fruit that was auctioned off earlier, there have been three Devil Fruits at this auction."

Another pirate captain clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with greed.

If this news were to spread outside, it would be enough to shake the entire world.

The rarity and power of Devil Fruits are well known, and the appearance of any Devil Fruit can cause a bloody storm.

Treasure and status are certainly important, but to protect these things, you need absolute strength.

And the Devil Fruit is a symbol of strength, an opportunity to change your destiny.

The atmosphere inside the auction house became increasingly tense and狂热, and people's eyes lingered greedily on the Devil Fruits.

Everyone was calculating in their hearts how to get these fruits into their pockets, and how to take this opportunity to become a prominent figure on the sea.

Disco had a satisfied smile on his face, he felt the crowd's madness and desire.

This was exactly the effect he was expecting.

Raising his hand, he motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then announced loudly:

"These two Devil Fruits are the Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit and... the Logia-type Swamp-Swamp Fruit!!!"

"The third item is an ancient document related to the One Piece, but the text on it needs to be interpreted by a professional."

Hearing the names of these two fruits, the venue was in an uproar.

Although people didn't know what the effect of the Door-Door Fruit was, the Swamp-Swamp Fruit was full of mystery and unpredictable potential.

The appearance of the ancient document made people feel a little inexplicable. Ordinary people shouldn't be interested in this kind of thing, after all, it's quite troublesome to find someone who specializes in studying this kind of writing.

Moreover, the deciphered text is likely to be just a diary.

"The starting price is 0 Berries, and there is no limit to each increase in price!"

"So, let the bidding begin!"

Disco announced loudly, his voice filled with excitement and excitement.

The venue suddenly erupted in a burst of enthusiastic bidding, with various forces bidding against each other for these three precious auction items.

"500 million Berries!"

A well-dressed businessman bid first, his voice with a hint of urgency.

"600 million Berries!"

Another pirate captain followed closely, with a determined expression on his face.

"700 million Berries!"

A mysterious person in a cloak bid, his voice sounding low and mysterious.

The atmosphere inside the auction house reached its peak, everyone nervously and excitedly watching the items on the stage, waiting for the result of the bidding.

And behind them, the pirates' eyes became even more fiery, planning their actions after the auction ended.

Jin sat in the crowd, quietly watching all of this.

Although the Devil Fruit had a certain attraction to him, he did not participate in the bidding from the beginning.

In this kind of final auction, the people who bid in front are all cannon fodder, and the real show is in the back.

"These two fruits are indeed good things, if I hadn't already eaten one, I would really want to compete for them."

Issho said with a chuckle, his eyes lingered on the literature for a while instead.

"Logia-type, the temptation is really great..."

Jin replied with a smile, he could clearly feel that the eyes of everyone in the entire auction house were red.

"Indeed..."

Issho hesitated, seeming to want to say something else.

"It is estimated that it will not be peaceful after the auction."

Jin shook his head, signaling them to be prepared.

Although he has not yet participated in the auction, he already has his own plans in his heart.

The auction continued, with bids rising and falling one after another, and the atmosphere in the entire auction house became increasingly tense and狂热.

Everyone is fighting for this last auction item, waiting for the final judgment of fate.
