Chapter 518: A Matter of Face
Said that Hailan's weapon is called [Soul Death] is better than the brother of [Slashing Knife], Slashing Knife is a category, including a series of slashing knives such as Flowing Blade Like Fire, Mirror Flower Water Moon, etc., you can't just call a weapon a slashing knife.
It's just like Black Knife Autumn Water, Black Knife Night, Demon Knife Ghost Knife, Demon Knife Ghost Cry, Autumn Water, Night, Ghost Tho, Ghost Cry is the name, Black Knife, Demon Knife is a category, how can there be a direct black knife or demon knife, old iron|・ω・')
"May I ask your Excellency, what is the name of this demon sword?"
"His name is Demon Knife!"
“emmmmm……”
(There is no charge for less than 200 words)
……
"It turned out to be his ......"
"I didn't expect to meet the Red Earl here."
"Who is the Red Earl?"
"Shh......h Before the era of the pirates, he was a legendary pirate who could compete with the Whitebeard Pirates and the Golden Lion Pirates on his own......"
Ignoring the whispering characters, he smiled and looked at Gilde Tezzolo, "The famous Golden Emperor doesn't want to have a senseless dispute on his own territory, does he?"
Why don't you just forget it, how about selling me face? ”
The person who dares to let others sell his face is generally a strong man with enough strength.
If an ordinary person is ashamed to let others sell him face, he may not have face, and the slap is absolutely enough.
For this Red Earl, Tezzolo had already investigated a lot of information, and he was not willing to offend a powerhouse of this level at all unless he had to.
After the ability of the "Golden Fruit" was awakened, Tezzolo developed a move called "Golden Splash", that is, those gold dust that can invade the human body, which is a move that even "Goldfinger" Smith has not been able to develop.
The strongest feature of "Golden Splash" is that it is immune to the domineering perception of sight, hearing, and color.
The gold dust scattered in the air of the Golden City, just like oxygen molecules, does not feel any danger to the human body, and unconsciously these gold dust will enter the human body with the breath of the person.
No matter how powerful a person's domineering is, whether it is Katakuri who can "predict the future" or Lone Gao Zhihong, who can "read minds", no one can realize the potential danger simply by relying on the domineering of seeing and hearing.
Hailan relied on "electromagnetic force" to perceive the abnormal situation in the body, and the "blind man" relied on gravity induction to smile, and others did not have these advantages.
As for Peach Rabbit, she deliberately avoided contact with gold dust because she got Hailan's prompt in advance, so she was not eroded by Tezzolo's gold dust, otherwise she would not have been buried by Hailan when she first came to the Golden City.
Of course, if the Red of Lonely Gao touched the Golden Emperor's head to read the mind, or if the Golden Emperor stood opposite Katakuri and was about to use this move, the two of them would also see the danger, but by then it would have been too late.
It was precisely because of the concealment of the "Golden Splash" that Tezzolo dared to build this golden city called "Gilde Tezzolo", because Tezzolo was almost invincible when fighting at the home of the Golden City.
Otherwise, a huge ship worth 500 billion Bailey would have been coveted by all forces, and Tezzolo would not have been enough to die even if he had ten lives.
However, the golden splash also has a weakness: once these gold dust comes into contact with the seawater, Tezzolo can no longer control them, and it is with this weakness that Luffy and his gang in the original book can crack Tezzolo's moves.
Although the Golden City has not been cleaned by the sea now, and although it can be used at any time to bind the Red of Lonely High with special gold that is harder than steel, in the face of a legendary powerhouse of the level of the Red Earl, Tezzolo does not want to use the "Golden Splash" on him from the bottom of his heart.
This kind of thing...... Can it really restrain the legendary powerhouse?
"Of course I want to give the face of the Red Earl."
Tezzolo chuckled softly, "I just don't know if Mr. Flame Plague is willing to die down?" ”
With an order, the [Green Pheasant] lifted the extreme cold and ice on the Yan Calamity's body.
Seeing this, Tezzolo also released the golden shackles.
Flame Calamity stood up, straightened his collar, glared at Lone High Red, turned around and left the auction with the Hundred Beast Pirates.
I've lost all my face, what are you doing here, is it a shame?
As for the Red of the Lonely High...... Even their Hundred Beast Pirates don't want to provoke.
The Red of Lonely High eats enough for the whole family to eat, but the Hundred Beast Pirates have a career, and Kaido of the Hundred Beasts has no ability to kill the Red of Lonely High directly.
provoked the Red of the Lonely High, and the Red of the Lonely High went to the country of Wano to make trouble, and that would be an extremely heavy blow to the Hundred Beast Pirates.
Whether it is the navy or the pirates, it has always been the Red Earl who takes the initiative to provoke others, and it is rare for others to take the initiative to provoke him.
The Blood Demon's "Scarlet Pirates" were wiped out because they provoked Lone High Red.
But now, the Navy is much more confident in the face of the Red of Lonely High than it was back then.
With the strong support of the two speed-type "Day Tiger" and "Yellow Ape", Gu Gao Zhihong wants to cause chaos in the navy, and he has to weigh it himself.
"That Lone Red's abilities are too much, isn't it...... Even the pheasant general was conjured up by him. ”
Lilith looked at the situation on the first floor, completely shocked by the ability of Lone High Red.
"It's fine."
"Are you alright?"
Hailan explained, "He can't replicate the awakening ability of a person with Devil Fruit ability, although it is very strong and tricky, but it also has a certain limit. ”
"But that's already pretty powerful, isn't it? Ouch~"
"If you know how good you are, you can't work hard to become stronger?"
Hailan coldly knocked Lilith on the brain.
Lilith puffed out her cheeks slightly and replied, "I know! ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, there was a small accident just now, but it has now settled down completely.
Let's start bidding again, and don't let this little farce sweep away your Yaxing. ”
Tezzolo is back on the stage.
"Mr. Daytiger, can Mr. Daytiger hear me?"
On the sea, outsiders often call each other by their names, which is a kind of respect for the strong and a tacit rule.
It's like the red of the lonely high, everyone calls him "Red Earl" when they mention him, and only a very few people have the qualifications and courage to call him "Ryder" directly.
Hailan beckoned: "I heard it." ”
"Since the Beast Pirates have given up this Devil Fruit, do you still plan to ask for it?"
"Of course I do."
"Okay, let's ......"
"Then let's re-bid it."
"Huh?"
"What? Do you take me for the wrongdoer? ”
"Haha...... How is it possible, I was just about to say re-bidding! ”
Tezzolo sighed inwardly.
He was about to sell it to Hailan at the last price Hailan called out, "501 million Bailey", but now it seems that this idea should be in vain.
However, the chances of success in this kind of thing are not very high, so Tezzolo is not too disappointed.
"Okay, then let's start bidding again, the starting price is 100 million Baileys!
Each increase is as low as 1,000,000 Baileys! ”
The starting price and minimum markup are still exactly the same as before.
Otherwise, with Hailan's character, when Jack shouted the price of 500 million, he would definitely shout 500 million 1 Bailey.
Tezzolo's face gradually darkened, as he waited for the audience to bid.
With the previous conflict, the scene of the price cry one after another did not appear again, and no one raised the price for a long time.
Just when a nobleman on the first floor hesitated for a long time and was about to ask for a price, a voice sounded one step ahead of him.
Or Hailan: "I'll pay 101 million Bailey." ”
"101,000,000 Baileys at once!"
"101,000,000,000 Bailey twice!"
Tezzolo's heart sank to the bottom.
It's a loss.
Maybe it's because everyone no longer wants to follow in the unlucky footsteps of the Hundred Beast Pirates, but no one has ever bid with Hailan anymore.
"101,000,000 Baileys three times, deal!"
The sound of a hammer falling sounded, and Hailan finally auctioned the Devil Fruit for 101 million Bailey.
"Lilith write it down, and I'll have to get reimbursement from the headquarters when I go back."
"No problem."
“……”
Peach Rabbit smiled and shook her head.
Tezzolo trembled with rage.
That's it, it's time to give the Navy a favor.
After cleaning up his mood, Tezzolo quickly showed off the follow-up merchandise.
"This is the double knife Lorenz, the big fast knife attribute.
Don't get excited, I'll explain again, the double knife Lorenz is just a double knife with the attributes of a big fast knife, and there is no double knife Lorenz in the "Great Karma" illustrated book, so you must be cautious when bidding, so as not to misunderstand that we will auction fakes at the Guran auction.
The starting price is 10 million Baileys, and the minimum price increase is 500,000 Baileys each time. ”
This time, the price of the goods was a little lower than that of the Devil Fruit, but the value was not low at all.
For those noble lords, the double-knife Lorenz is only worth collecting, but for the strong who fight on the sea, a good knife may bring them a second life.
"My Thatch happens to be a two-sword swordsman, and this pair of double-swords is just right for him, I wonder if you are willing to give us a face?"
"We don't need this kind of double knife recently, so I won't rob it from you."
The conversation was between Marco and Ben Beckman.
The redhead often asks others to give him a face, because he also often gives face to others.
A person who never gives face to others, why should others give him face?
"Deal!"
The auction hammer fell, and Marco finally auctioned the pair of "double knife" Lorenz at a high price of "54 million Bailey".
After a few more items, Tezzolo finally came up with his finale for the day.
"This final bid is an extremely rare Devil Fruit, and I can guarantee that his abilities will definitely arouse everyone's interest."
Audiences who would have been talking to each other or drowsy were quickly attracted to Tezzolo's attention.
What kind of fruit deserves the word "extremely rare"?
Is it nature?
Or is it a phantom beast?
Tezzolo lifted the curtain, and a green Devil Fruit appeared in everyone's sight.
"This ...... What is this? ”
"I've never seen a color before......"
Everyone frowned, how did this Devil Fruit look weird?
Tezzolo took the microphone and announced the name of the Devil Fruit.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last treasure of the night, the special Superman Soft Candy Truth!"
"Soft candy real? What the heck? ”
"I haven't heard of it."
"He seems to say it's a special superhuman system?"
"What the hell is the special superhuman system?"
That's right, the Devil Fruit that was mysteriously made by Tezzolo was the soft candy of the naval traitor "Gaspard" that Hailan chased and killed back then.
Nature?
Phantom beast species?
It's impossible to think about how Tezzolo could possibly auction such a treasure publicly.
Not to mention that he is reluctant, if he really takes the Thunder Fruit or the Baqi Snake Fruit to the auction for auction, then the scene will not be controlled by the Four Emperors.
Tezzolo had already expected that the audience would not be very satisfied with this result, so he said the excuse prepared in advance: "Just talking about the special superhuman system, there may be many friends here who don't understand, but if you talk about one person, I think everyone must know it." ”
The lights turned and were aimed at the BIG· The area of the MOM Pirates.
“BIG· The ace of the MOM Pirates, Charlotte Katakuri, the head of the four generals, his glutinous fruit is a special superhuman line.
Soft candy has all the attributes of a glutinous fruit.
So how much potential this Devil Fruit has, I think everyone already knows it, right? ”
Some Devil Fruits and abilities are mutually fulfilling, such as "Whitebeard" and "Shock Fruit", without Shock Fruit, Whitebeard would not have a 360-degree destructive ability without dead ends, and without Whitebeard, the Shock Fruit would not be known as the strongest Devil Fruit on the sea.
Sometimes, it is the Devil Fruit who has achieved abilities, such as "Anilu" and "Thunder Fruit", if it weren't for the strength of the Thunder Fruit, Anilu would have been hammered into a Muggle on Sky Island as early as now, and he would not have had a chance to become the current "Anilu".
Other times, it's the powerful who make the Devil Fruit.
The attributes are almost identical, no one knows about soft candy, but no one knows about the glutinous fruit, and it is precisely because of the strength of Charlotte Katakuli that the glutinous fruit is valued by the world.
It's like a song that has been tepid for years after its birth, and only after a very popular singer has sung it that the song becomes a popular song.
With the contrast, the audience's gaze on the green soft candy on the stage began to heat up in real time.
That's what Tezzolo wants.
As for offending BIG· He didn't really care about the MOM Pirates or something.
BIG· A war had just broken out between the MOM and the Navy, and this was when the Golden City, which was about to join the World Government, chose to take sides.
Well, in fact, Tezzolo didn't particularly dare to offend BIG· MOM Pirates, otherwise what he just said would not be the "Four General Stars", but the "Three General Stars".
"The starting price is 500 million Baileys, and the price will be increased by at least 10 million Baileys each time, and from now on, the auction will begin!"
"A farce."
"Lonely Red" Patrick Ledfield's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he got up to leave.
When he got the news, he thought that the auction would be the "fluttering fruit" of the golden lion, but he didn't expect it to be such a thing.
"Now that you're here, don't be in a hurry to leave, Ryder."
A voice rang out, and the smell of salty blood permeated the auction.
