Chapter 423 If you have money, you can do whatever you want
Recently, Baby-5 was very unhappy that Abel didn't take her out with him.
I had already hit his chest with my small fist 500 times.
So if I don't take her with me this time, I might be angry.
Doflamingo didn't say much about this, he was probably used to it already.
Just as they were heading to their destination on the Flamingo, the Don Quixote family's auction house also began to promote it overwhelmingly.
Not only did they distribute flyers everywhere, they also spent a lot of money to buy space in newspapers.
The purpose is to let more people know that there is such a powerful auction house in the first half of the Grand Line.
You can even take out a Devil Fruit as the final auction item.
It would be fine if it was an ordinary animal type, but the brochure clearly stated 'non-animal type'.
Then it’s the superhuman type and the natural type!
The latter is probably unlikely, but Superman-type Devil Fruits are not weak either. It depends on what kind of abilities they have.
What's more important is that the master behind this auction is Doflamingo from the Shichibukai.
That daring guy has enough strength and reputation to live in this place.
Otherwise, countless pirate groups would have visited before the auction even started.
Everyone knows that auction houses make money, but in the end only those big shots are qualified and able to open one.
If you don't open up the black and white channels, whoever opens them will get free money.
As a result, many people were attracted and prepared to attend the auction.
Among them, a man with gray-green hair and ordinary clothes also saw the news.
He had a hunch that this Devil Fruit might be able to completely change his bad life.
But how to get this devil fruit, he still needs to think of a way, after all, he is so poor at the moment that he doesn't even have money for his next meal.
Not to mention bidding for things with those rich people, we can't even raise the shipping fee.
...
"Hi, long time no see, my friend."
Looking at the familiar and enthusiastic little fat man in front of him, Abel reluctantly refused the other person's hug, and only gently shook the little fat hand covered with various gemstone rings.
"Abel, if you always do this, you will lose me as a friend." Du Fred said pretending to be unhappy.
"I'm just not used to cuddling with men. If it's a beautiful girl, I can think about it."
Abel also didn't expect that Doflamingo would arrange a new identity for him, but it would be in this way.
Du Fred obviously came in place of his father, the loan shark king Du Feld, and his purpose should be to cheer up his partners.
And obviously, almost no one would doubt that the person around Du Fred would be a stooge.
That's the benefit of having a good reputation.
Of course, just in case, Du Felder did not come in person, but just asked his son to go through the motions and perform a scene with Doflamingo.
Even if something goes wrong in the end, the loan shark king will have enough excuses to wipe himself out.
After all, they never acknowledged Abel as theirs, right?
As a father, there is no way he could stop his son from making friends across a few oceans.
At best, it's just a matter of making careless friends.
"I recently hired a fur woman in Happy Street. It's very interesting to play with. Will I take you with me next time?"
"Forget it, I'm very busy and don't have time."
"That's really a pity, but if you really want to go, you don't need me. I almost forgot, you have already taken care of that Stussy, so you can do whatever you want."
"To reiterate, I have nothing to do with that woman."
"I understand, I understand~"
You know how well you know a hammer!
Ignoring the guy's lewd expression, Abel took him around casually and then returned to the auction house.
After these days of warm-up, many guests have come here from all over the place.
A publicly auctioned Devil Fruit is enough to attract a lot of popularity no matter what time it is.
And in order to completely establish the reputation of the auction, Doflamingo also took out many treasures as auction items.
It's just that the armed guard force is not that strict.
Among the family members, only Abel and Baby-5 came, the rest were busy with other tasks.
Probably Doflamingo felt that no one would dare to cause trouble under his nose.
This is indeed the case under normal circumstances.
In the evening, the auction was held as scheduled.
Abel put on his cloak and mask and sat next to Du Fred, waiting for the auction status of the Golden Fruit.
Regardless of whether he can fetch a sky-high price when the time comes, his mission is to take the golden fruit and send it back.
Even if he is a trustee, he is not the kind of garbage trustee who forcibly raises the price just to disgust others.
Doflamingo, on the other hand, was sitting on the sofa in the highest private room, holding red wine and looking at the situation outside through the glass.
The entire auction house was almost full of people, which made him more and more happy, and he even sang a hometown ditty.
Pieces of exquisite products were brought out from the backstage, and then, with the enthusiastic pursuit of a group of people, they were sold at extremely high prices.
Everything went smoothly, but Abel began to suspect that the agent at the scene might not only be himself, but also others.
In the middle of the process, Du Fred also lost interest, but for someone's sake, he still generously donated money and took pictures of several items one after another.
So many people looked at him frequently, and then after confirming Du Fred's identity, they all turned their heads back and called him bad luck!
Obviously, the son of the loan shark king was something they couldn't afford to offend.
Moreover, it is extremely stupid to compete with the son of the loan shark king for financial resources.
As the ball went straight all the way, it was finally time for the last lot to appear. Everyone cheered up, pricked up their ears, and opened their eyes wide, wanting to take a sneak peek.
The host also opened the red cloth neatly, revealing the golden fruit inside.
So beautiful!
This was everyone's first reaction.
"Everyone, please see, this is a superhuman Devil Fruit. It is recorded in the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, and its name is the Golden Fruit."
Golden Fruit?!
Everyone was surprised at first, and then their hearts became extremely hot.
This is the second reaction.
"The starting price is 100 million beri, and each bid increase must not be less than 5 million beri. The bidding will begin below!"
"I offer 100 million Beli!"
"It's funny, you want to buy this golden fruit for 100 million berries? I'll pay 150 million berries!"
"Made, 200 million!"
It’s going to be sold for a sky-high price!
Seeing the fiery atmosphere on the field and the continuous high bids, this was the third reaction of many people.
"Golden fruits. Golden wealth!"
"Having wealth is equivalent to having everything!"
In the auction house, a man with gray-green hair gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
