I Formed The El Cat Investigation Team In Pirates Chapter 148

Chapter 148 An unknown reindeer fruit

 “Everyone~Welcome to the San Blabo Auction! I am your host, Sweetie Lilia~”

A young lady in cool clothes held a microphone and announced loudly while posing downwards.

"Oh oh oh-!"

“It's Miss Lilia from Happy Street!”

 “Miss Lilia, look at me! We just had afternoon tea together last week!”

　　Many men and a small number of women cheered loudly at the beautiful host on the stage, but more people were indifferent, and some even had impatient expressions on their faces.

 Lilia quickly entered the topic after a short warm-up session.

"So, let's start today's auction! Here's the first item today! No matter how brutal the war is, it is the strongest tree that can still stand! It is also the best shipbuilding material. There are only a few trees in the world. - Baoshu Adam!"

Soon, several strong men came to the stage pushing a huge log. Then they took out sticks and machetes and smashed and chopped the log. Then they changed their guns and shot at it. He even took a flame launcher and sprayed it for a while. As a result, there was no damage to the log except for some traces of smoke that disappeared after being wiped.

"…sharp!"

Even though he knew that this thing was extremely tough, Xie Wen couldn't help but praise it after seeing it with his own eyes.

Although this thing is made of wood, it is actually stronger than steel without losing some of the characteristics of wood. No wonder it is known as the best shipbuilding material.

Obviously, Xie Wen is not the only one who wants this kind of good thing, many pirates are also determined to get it, so Xie Wen didn't even raise the price once, and the auction price was raised to 130 million Bei. profit.

If Xie Wen remembers correctly, four or five years later, Franky should have spent 200 million beli to purchase Baoshu Adam...

 “Twenty million!”

 Xie Wen directly increased the price by 70 million.

Those pirates who were still asking for an increase of one million for you and two million for me all fell silent instantly.

Just when Xie Wen thought that the bidding strategy he learned from novels was about to take effect, a pirate who came to his senses immediately followed the price and said: "Two hundred and five million!"

 Tsk! Sure enough, everything in the novel is a lie!

Xie Wen smacked his lips and was not in a hurry to increase the price. Instead, he was waiting to see the reactions of other pirates.

As expected, 200 million beli is almost the limit of Baoshu Adam. Then fewer and fewer pirates bid for it. When the first pirate who offered Xie Wen the price reached 220 million, By that time, no one was following the price anymore, and judging from the appearance of the pirate who was calling out the price, this price was almost his limit.

 So Xie Wen took action again: "Two hundred and thirty million!"

To be on the safe side, Xie Wen did not dig into Sosou and directly added ten million. The pirate who was pushed down glared at him fiercely, but did not continue to follow the price.

Hence, this precious tree Adam log was successfully photographed by Xie Wen.

After taking the photo of Baoshu Adam, Xie Wen did not take any more shots, but quietly watched each of the lots being taken away by other people.

However, those pirates who also came for the Devil Fruit were not as patient as Xie Wen, so soon a grumpy pirate shouted: "Take out the Devil Fruit quickly! We can't do anything here!" Not for these useless things!”

"This guest, please be patient," Lilia on the stage said without any fear at all, still maintaining a sweet smile: "If you disrupt the order of the venue at will, you will be disqualified from the auction~"                                                                                                                              � What?!" A guy like this who would be the first to jump out has a bad temper and a low IQ. Not only did he not listen to Lilia's wishes, he instead pulled out a long jagged knife from his waist. He continued to shout loudly: "Who do you think I am? I am the captain of the famous Som-Kachian Pirates! 'Saw Blade' Som with a bounty of 67 million beli!"

 Then he was shot dead by a gunman secretly arranged by the auction house. Also killed was the first mate Kaqian who came here with him. The reward seemed to be around 50 million.

 Sigh...more than 100 million Baileys are just gone...

 Seeing that the second part of the bounty he had planned was wasted like this, Xie Wen was heartbroken...

But don't let any idiots want to cause trouble again!

 Fortunately, these pirates are still very aware of current affairs, especially after a fool showed them up, the originally restless pirates quickly calmed down.

After a simple cleanup by the staff, the auction continued, and this time it was the reindeer fruits that Xie Wen sent for auction.

"This devil fruit was suddenly sent to us for auction today," Lilia explained to everyone: "So it is an unexpected surprise. In other words, there will be two devil fruits in today's auction. The fruits are included in the auction!”

Her words immediately made everyone present excited. After all, there was only one Devil Fruit that had been promoted before. Many people actually didn't have much hope in whether they could get their hands on it, but now there is an extra one. With devil fruits, the situation is different...

If those rich people want to take two devil fruits at the same time, then they can raise the price of the first fruit and reduce the rich people's funds as much as possible, so that they can fight for the second devil fruit. If wealthy people take a conservative approach, they will focus on this one fruit.

The pirates with relatively small funds exchanged glances with each other and quickly formed an alliance silently.

At this time, Lilia also began to introduce the pear-shaped Devil Fruit: "Because this fruit was delivered too hastily, we didn't have time to figure out what its abilities are. Animal type? Superman type? Even the most powerful one." A strong natural element? This is possible! Or, if any customer knows the details of this fruit, you can share it here."

Lilia smiled slyly, and when no one challenged her, she announced loudly: "The unknown devil fruit, the reserve price is 100 million beli! The bidding begins!"

Xie Wen, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't help but twitching his lips while listening to Lilia's nonsense on the stage.

When he handed over the Devil Fruit to the auction house, he directly told them that it was a reindeer fruit, because he thought that this was Stussy's base camp after all, and there must be no shortage of Devil Fruit illustrations, so there was no cover up at all. necessary…

The hearts of these businessmen are even darker. They actually deliberately concealed the information about the fruit, and the reasons were very sufficient - they just got it today and there was no time to confirm it.

 But the problem is...Xie Wen had handed over the reindeer fruit to the auction house a few days ago!

However, looking at the scenes of people around him raising prices crazily, Xie Wen certainly would not be stupid enough to expose the auction house's tricks.

Soon, the auction price exceeded 500 million, which is definitely more than the price of reindeer fruit. However, the bidding price is still rising...

Xie Wen was so happy that he grinned to the back of his head. He could only cover his mouth with one hand and pinch his thigh with the other hand to force himself not to laugh out loud.

 In the end, this reindeer fruit was bought by a pirate for a high price of 820 million.

 Very good, now the other devil fruit is basically stable.

Xie Wen grinned. The previous bidding also exposed the capital limit of most people present. As long as nothing happens, no one should be able to compete with him...

 Sure enough, it was effective to hold the little angel Kelimiao for an hour before coming here and ask her to give me good luck!
