Chapter 407

The doors of the auction house were not open to any visitor, but even putting aside the identity of Yeruashi, whether it was Stussi, who belonged to SP-0, or Doflamingo, who was active in the shadow world, it was naturally not difficult for them to get permission to enter.

Robin, of course, was more interested in ancient architecture, but the auction was already beginning and Yeruashi's desire was more important to her.

Although there were no VIP rooms or anything like that in this auction house, but the aristocrats and the rich still stood out a lot because they were sitting in the front rows.

Yeruashi, as always, was very reserved and modest, taking several empty seats in the back rows with Robin and the others.

Although he used an illusion to suppress his sense of presence, but this could not fully restrain his charm and charisma, yet Yeruashi is too attractive and irresistible.

Having taken too noticeable a place, he will inevitably be noticed by others.

"...the next lot will be one of the meito class O Wazamono (21) of the second generation of Muramasa! It is rumored that he is cursed, so it will be very difficult for a weak person to cope with this meito."

After a number of lots of ancient antiques and the like, finally there was a lot that deserved the attention of Yeruashi.

But it was a cursory glance, nothing more.

Although the meito of the O Wazamono class are considered very rare, but this does not correspond to his majestic image, because even the Kusanagi Blade given to his younger brother was an ancient artifact that surpassed the meito of the Saijo O Wazamono class (12), so even if the meito is purchased just for the sake of decoration, it should still belong to the rarest Saijo O Wazamono class, which hardly has qualifications in the eyes of Yeruashi.

Since there are a large number of strong people living in the Kingdom of Prodens, the meito class O Wazamono (21) of the second generation of Muramas was much more in demand than the previous antiques, paintings and the like.

The bid quickly reached 77 million belli.

This can already be considered a very decent price for Meito, because most ordinary sword masters are not very rich.

"Kitetsu and Muramasa series, as well as Murakumogiri...it seems that cursed blades are not so rare among the Meito."

Robin, who was sitting next to Yeruashi, whispered thoughtfully.

She is not interested in the path of the sword, but in the eyes of an archaeologist who has read a huge number of books, many meito themselves can be part of history, so Robin had no small knowledge in this area.

"Often, strong meito are quite difficult to cope with, and the vast majority of high-class meito have ferocious and aggressive properties that can be extremely harmful to an insufficiently strong owner, which is why many meito began to be called cursed."

Yeruashi leaned on the back of the chair in front of him and said calmly.

For example, Enmu, one of the meito of the O Wazamono class, using the will of weapons in huge volumes, which leads to a strong depletion of the user's life force, can also be called a cursed blade, just unlike the meito of the Kitetsu series, widely known throughout the world, Enma did not cause the death of too many owners and did not earn the reputation of the cursed meito.

"It looks like Mr. Yeruashi is interested in the damned Meito."

Doflamingo looked at Yeruashi.

Yeruashi nodded calmly: "Sort of."

In the eyes of Yeruashi, the cursed meito was certainly much more interesting than usual, because he wanted to buy meito for decoration and entertainment, and not for battles.

"Hmm..."

Doflamingo secretly decided that immediately after his return, he would use all his connections in the shadow world and the World Government to the maximum, in order to find the cursed Meito of the Saijo class About Wazamono as soon as possible.

He couldn't afford to miss the opportunity to do a favor for a person like Yeruashi.

Doflamingo realized better than anyone else how important such connections are.

After a while.

After a series of relatively ordinary lots, a small wooden table covered with a red silk cloth was rolled out on the stage.

On a thin expensive silk lay a fruit of a bizarre shape, which immediately attracted the eyes of many people.

In the New World, the second half of the Grand Line, even ordinary people were well aware of the devil fruits.

The numerous people gathered in the auction house needed only a cursory glance at these bizarre patterns to recognize the devil fruit!

"Apparently, this is a devil fruit of the paramecium type."

Stussi stroked her chin thoughtfully.

As a member of SP-0, she has a very deep understanding of the devil fruit.

Although she is not able to recognize at first glance what kind of devil fruit it is, but it was not difficult to determine the type.

"...so, the next lot, as you have already understood, will be the rarest devil fruit! Although after eating it, you will be cursed by the sea, but getting a huge power is definitely worth it!"

The host loudly introduced the next lot.

This devil fruit was the main and last lot of today's auction.

The starting price of this lot was one hundred million belli, which is the base price for the devil fruit.

Initially, it was assumed that this devil fruit would be presented to the Heavenly Dragons as a tribute, but not so long ago, the Holy Land of Marijoa was completely destroyed, and most of the Heavenly Dragons experienced pain and left this world, so the supply of gold and various precious items from around the world as a tribute almost completely stopped.

Numerous impoverished countries participating in the World Government certainly did not dare to make any loud statements, but many civilians secretly revered and preached the name of the Traveler, because stopping the collection of tribute, due to the destruction of the Holy Land of Marijoa, was tantamount to saving their poor and exhausted countries!

In the eyes of the numerous influential forces of this sea, the Traveler was a terrifying figure, but for most poor countries, Yeruashi became a benefactor who was secretly revered and praised by many people!

"According to the well-known information, this devil fruit is called Maro Maro no Mi, after eating it, you will gain divine charm and beauty..."

The auction host spoke in detail about this devil fruit.

A colorful story about quite ordinary devilish fruits like zoan dachshund and the like, not only will not attract buyers, but can even have the opposite effect, so often they will not be described in too much detail.

But Maro Maro no Mi is different, because its effect should be extremely attractive to women, so the host prepared a colorful speech in advance to raise interest in the final lot to the limit.

"Ah?"

The description of this lot surprised Yeruashi very much.

Originally, this ability of the devil fruit was supposed to belong to Hancock, but apparently due to his influence, Maro Maro no Mi was put up for sale at auction, instead of being transferred to the Heavenly Dragons.

"Doffy, I want this devil fruit."

Yeruashi looked at the Doflamingo.

Doflamingo nodded confidently, " Got it."

After completing the colorful presentation of the lot, the host said: "... so, the starting price of this lot is 100 million belli, and the minimum bid increase is 10 million Belli...I am announcing the start of trading!"

"500 million Belli!"

Doflamingo immediately raised his hand.

Many aristocrats and rich people, who were going to participate in the auction a moment earlier, began to hesitate.

For such a devil fruit, this price was already very high, because the rich and aristocrats were going to buy it for their women.

"550 million Belli!"

But a member of the royal family who was present still decided to make a bet, and Doflamingo only grinned angrily in response: "700 million Belly!"

Although he was a little Doffy in front of Yeruashi, but in front of other people, he was still an overbearing Joker!

The predatory expression of the face and the domineering voice of the Doflamingo caused an inexplicable tremor and fear in the heart of a member of the royal family.

He instinctively felt that Doflamingo was an extremely dangerous and influential person.

After a brief hesitation, he gave up on continuing the fight and looked at the woman sitting next to him: "We can't even be completely sure that the effect of this devil fruit matches the description...this may turn out to be a lie for the sake of raising the price. I'll buy you something better next time, dear."
