041 The Auction Begins! Twenty-One Skills Of The Sharp Knife, Bad Taste, And Gems! [Thanks Again To
The orange-haired girl spoke calmly, and at the same time glanced warily at the strange man sitting next to them wearing a cloak whose face could not be seen clearly.
But if you listen carefully, you can still hear the slightest tremor in her voice.
As a former slave, how could she not feel any excitement from such a scene?
"Then, let's officially start the auction now!"
As his words fell, two scantily clad young beauties with graceful and hot figures came up from the back of the stage carrying a small table.
"Item No. 1, the Great Knife with Twenty-one Skills - Yun Ce, the T-shaped Kotai Blade! It was once made by a famous swordsmith in the New World and is also known as the famous Great Prajna."
Disco's tone suddenly became high-spirited, and he began to arouse the emotions of everyone in the audience, making them involuntarily turn their attention to this famous knife.
The eyes of the swordsmen who came to the scene and the pirate captains who happened to lack weapons or flaunted their identities shone brightly.
Some collectors who specialize in famous swords are also very excited, and other nobles and wealthy people have also expressed interest in it. 713
The first item to be auctioned was the Twenty-One Great Knife. It seemed that Doflamingo was really determined to put this auction out completely this time.
"Want to bid, Captain?"
Quotations started coming one after another below, and Lafitte couldn't help but ask Ron.
"It's up to you. Regardless of whether we can do it or not, the final result will be the same." Ron replied without raising his head.
"Hohoho, then I can express myself freely!"
The smile on Lafitte's face couldn't help but increase a bit. He loved the job of causing trouble for others!
"Fifty million Baileys!"
Just when the price of this famous knife was raised to 45 million beli, a loud laughing voice suddenly sounded.
Suddenly, someone raised the price to five million, causing a slight silence in the venue.
Some people who were increasing their bids subconsciously wanted to see who the opponent was, but when they discovered that the sound came from the first private room, they immediately changed their expressions, lowered their heads, and stopped participating in the bidding.
*(bcdh) Do you still have any bids? This is a rare and sharp sword. As a swordsman, you must not miss it!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little cold, Disco immediately used all his strength to encourage.
However, whether it was because they did not want to offend the Shichibukai or because they wanted to save enough money to wait for the next items to be auctioned, everyone stopped bidding, leaving Disco helpless.
The price quoted for the twenty-one pieces of the Great Knife in the market is more than 10 million beli. The normal price on the black market is around 30 million. And if it is obtained at auction, it will cost at least 50 to 60 million.
It's not impossible to meet a hot-blooded guy and start a quarrel with him for 70 to 80 million yuan.
For Disco, in such a high-profile anniversary auction, if the price does not exceed 100 million berries, it will not be worthy of his title!
However, what he didn't expect was that there was a variable like Ron Shichibukai on the court, leaving him with nothing to show his abilities.
He didn't even dare to use the trust arranged among the crowd. If he was discovered, he wouldn't be able to withstand the anger from a Shichibukai.
"Since no one bids anymore, congratulations on the famous sword [Yun Ce] being acquired by the guest in Private Room No. 1, congratulations!"
Congratulations with a smile on the face, but full of bitterness in the heart.
The first auction item failed to meet his expectations, which cast a haze in his heart.
However, not only was he dissatisfied, Lafitte in the private room was also unhappy.
"The deal was closed for only 50 million? It seems that I still underestimated the intimidating power of you and the Shichibukai, captain, to scare people away from making an offer, haha~"
He turned the crutch in his hand, and after realizing the truth in his heart, he immediately made a decision again.
"It seems that we should wait for the people below to raise the price to a similar level, and then we can raise the price to the highest level."
What? Why do I do this, you ask?
Of course, it’s because the higher the transaction price, the happier the auction house and the bosses behind it will be. Then in the end, when turmoil breaks out and everything comes to naught...
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. The psychological gap in between will go to many people's minds.
If possible, I really want to see what kind of wonderful expression Doflamingo will make when he learns the news, hahahaha!
It seemed that something had occurred to him. Lafitte, who was imagining a bright future, had a weird smile on his face that seemed to be a little successful.
Yes, he has such a bad taste.
"Okay, everyone, next is the second item..."
After Disco adjusted his mentality, he quickly threw himself into the auction with passion.
The second item is a flawless white ruby that is rare in the world.
After the gems came onto the scene and exuded dazzling brilliance, the eyes of all the female nobles present never closed again.
After Disco tried his best, the price of gems rose at a rapid rate.
To Disco's relief, no one in the Japanese private room made any noise to interrupt the trend of asking for a price.
What made him even more happy was that just when the price of gems gradually stabilized and reached 110 million beli, Lafitte's unique asking voice sounded again.
"One hundred and twenty million."
He directly added a full ten million, which made Disco overjoyed.
"Is there anyone else asking for a price? The price for Private Room No. 1 is 120 million. This is a rare gem that is hard to find in the world. There may be only one in the world. Do you want to think about it again?"
The haze in my heart was gone, and disco couldn't help but become more powerful.
After hearing his words, some middle-aged ladies who did not intend to fight due to the power of the Shichibukai gritted their teeth and finally tentatively added a little more.
As a result, Lafitte did not bid, which made the lady happy. At the same time, the other bidders also sat up slightly.
"I'm not interested in gems, but it's still necessary to prevent customers from asking prices because of the Shichibukai's name."
Lafitte, who had a long-term vision, naturally knew that these customers were more or less afraid of the name of his captain, Shichibukai, and did not dare to compete with him for bidding. .
