As one of the 50 Skillful Grade Blades, Kashu was quite attractive to swordsmen, and the nobles' standing would be higher among their circle with such a famous sword in their possession.
Therefore, the price kept rising, and in just a moment, it had reached 4.3 Million Belly!
Even Koshiro seemed interested. Since he had given his Wado Ichimonji to his daughter, he really needed a good sword to be able to exert more strength now. Kashu was indeed a good choice. Although it was not as good as Wado Ichimonji, it was definitely good enough.
However, even if he wanted to buy it, he would not immediately make a move. He had to wait for others to compete and watch how things went.
The bidding continued for a moment, and eventually there were less competitors. Then, an old man said faintly, "Six million Belly!"
The moment the old man stated his price, the crowd quieted down. Six million was quite pricey for a sword. Although the host said that there were only 50 Blades that were as famous in the world, sometimes number alone couldn't determine the value of one thing.
When this good sword fell into the hands of those nobles, it would only become a collection until it became dusty. Only a real swordsman could put it to good use!
"6.5 Million Belly!" At this time, Koshiro suddenly spoke.
To be honest, Koshiro was quite rich since he opened a dojo. In addition, since he became External Advisors, he would obtain salary frequently, so he was quite rich.
Koshiro definitely didn't mind spending a few million.
"Hehe, there's nothing that I can't buy. Eight million Belly!" The old man earlier raised the price by 1.5 million. He didn't really want Kashu, but losing to someone else in bidding would hurt his pride...
However, if he were to face a Celestial Dragon, a noble like him would instantly lose his pride!
"Ten million Belly." Koshiro said indifferently. To be honest, he probably had more money than that old noble.
Koshiro didn't know if the old noble really wanted the Kashu or this was just Donquixote Family's ploy to raise the price, but he didn't care, because he didn't necessarily have to pay.
Keep in mind that Tesoro would make a move eventually.
Hearing the price of the sword reaching ten million, many people looked at Koshiro. Even Tesoro was no exception, but now Koshiro was wearing a bamboo hat, so no one could see his face.
Tesoro just felt that this person was a bit familiar, but he did not recognize that it was Koshiro!
"The gentleman over there bids for ten million Belly, does anyone else want to bid higher?" Looking at the quiet crowd, the host smiled slightly.
Although he was asking this question, he was really giddy deep down. Selling a Skillful Grade Blade for ten million exceeded their expectations. Even if it was bought at its initial price, it would still be a big profit. After all, Donquixote Family didn't even have to pay any money to get this Skillful Grade Blade. They simply used their legal right to plunder.
"Since no one is willing to raise the price, then Kashu is sold at ten million Belly to the gentleman over there!" Seeing that no one responded, the knocked the table with his hammer, concluding the bidding for Kashu. He had already earned a lot anyway, so there was no need to continue raising the price. After all, no one might buy it if he kept raising the price.
After a slight pause, the host's expression also became excited. He revealed a strange smile and then shouted, 'Everyone! Everyone! Everyone! Next is the final item of this auction. I believe that everyone already knows what it is without me saying anything. After all, many people are here for this thing. However, as a host, I will say a few words before I bring out this item...
"Devil Fruit is called a secret treasure of the sea. It easily sells for more than one hundred million Belly in the market. It is the incarnation of the sea demon. After eating it, you will get an ability depending on what Devil Fruit you ate. However, those who eat it will be abandoned by the sea and lost their ability to swim. However, this kind of side effect is not worth mentioning compared to the powerful ability given by the fruit!"
"There are many experts on the sea now. Many of them are Devil Fruit users. For example, the two Emperors of the New World, Whitebeard and Big Mom. They ate Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Soul-Soul Fruit respectively, both of which were Paramecia. There three monsters on Marine were also Logia users. It can be seen that a good Devil Fruit can make a ground breaking change. And the Gold-Gold Fruit is an excellent Devil Fruit. Let me ask, who doesn't want to freely manipulate gold?"
Compared to the previous famous sword, the Devil Fruit clearly drew more attention.
Although a famous sword was precious, it mainly depended on the strength of the wielder. For example, if Hawkeye's Yoru fell into the hands of an ordinary person, would that person be able to become a great swordsman?
Devil Fruit, on the other hand, could directly increase the strength of one person. If a Devil Fruit user constantly trained, they could become even stronger. Paramecia generally was not worth much because many of them gave stupid abilities, so they would have to gamble if they picked Paramecia.
However, one person could only eat one Devil Fruit in their entire life, so that was a hard gamble!
However, they now knew that this was the Devil Fruit that allowed its user to manipulate gold. It was a very good ability for a Paramecia. With such a fruit, they would definitely be able to become strong. At the very least, these people all had this kind of thought in their hearts!
"Gold-Gold Fruit? That is the fruit that Boss mentions!"
At this moment, Tesoro's eyes also became serious. He was determined to get this Devil Fruit!
