Although there were Celestial Dragons present, many pirates couldn't contain themselves and began to speak out.
"Enough with the nonsense! We're here to buy things, not to listen to your bragging!" A pirate with a face full of橫肉 stood up, his tone full of impatience.
"That's right, hurry up and put the goods on display. Do you think my time is free?"
"You better make sure this auction has good stuff, or I'll smash this place!"
A burly man sat in the front row, his gaze like a knife, his threatening tone undisguised.
Jin An looked around, his expression calm, but he had already made some judgments in his mind.
In his opinion, it was hard to say how many of these people were plants brought in by the organizers.
Disco stood on the stage, wearing a neat tailcoat, a confident smile on his face.
He subtly revealed a smug look, obviously having achieved his goal of warming up the atmosphere.
Now, it was time to get to the main event.
"It seems everyone can't wait any longer, so I'll simplify the opening remarks and start our auction immediately!"
Disco said loudly, his tone full of confidence and煽动性.
He raised his arm, and as the lights shone down, several staff members divided their tasks and solemnly placed a box in the center of the auction stage.
All eyes were drawn to it, and the atmosphere in the venue instantly became tense.
"Da-da-da..."
As all the lights in the auction house focused, the box slowly opened.
Disco's voice spread out through the microphone in his hand, with a very煽动力的节奏:
"The first item in this auction, designed by a certain research team and crafted by someone."
"The world's first Sea Stone pistol and matching Sea Stone bullets!"
Sea Stone and its matching bullets!
The first item exploded the entire auction house the moment it was revealed.
Looking at the auction item in front of them, the whole place was in an uproar, and everyone's eyes were drawn to this precious item.
Greedy glimmers shone in everyone's eyes, wishing they could rush up and take the pistol for themselves.
This kind of thing could greatly increase their survival rate in the second half of the Grand Line.
Sea Stone, this rare and mysterious material, has a fatal attraction for both pirates and the Navy.
Even things made from Sea Stone are in short supply.
Not to mention this pistol made of Sea Stone.
This thing is undoubtedly a treasure that every pirate dreams of.
Upon hearing Disco's introduction, Yi Sheng's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and curiosity:
"Sea Stone pistol? Is this thing really that powerful?"
Things made of Sea Stone are still hard to find on the sea today, and Yi Sheng said it was the first time he had seen such a thing.
Jin An smiled slightly and explained:
"Sea Stone can suppress the power of Devil Fruit users. If this pistol falls into the hands of certain people, it will indeed be very dangerous."
Tian Yue Shi nodded. Her family was subordinate to the Kozuki Family and knew very well how difficult it was to process Sea Stone. She didn't expect that someone could create such a sophisticated weapon now.
She turned her gaze back to the auction stage, obviously full of interest in this auction item.
At this time, the people in the auction house became unusually nervous and excited.
Everyone was staring at the Sea Stone pistol, thinking about how to get this precious treasure into their hands.
Seeing this, Disco smiled with satisfaction. He knew that this auction item would spark a fierce competition.
The first item in the auction was to ignite the passion of the audience.
"Everyone knows that Sea Stone is very difficult to process. The finished product in front of you took a lot of time and money to make."
"Currently, there is only one in the world."
"It can give you a chance of survival in desperate situations, it can make your enemies evaporate in an instant, it can make ability users have nowhere to hide, and it can make you invincible on the sea!"
Disco's voice grew louder and more excited, carrying a bewitching power that reached the ears of everyone present.
"Okay, let's start bidding! The starting price is 300 million Berries, and each bid must be no less than 5 million Berries!"
Disco announced loudly, his voice echoing throughout the auction house.
"300 million Berries!"
Someone shouted immediately.
"I bid 320 million Berries!"
Another voice followed.
"Hahahaha, a bunch of poor ghosts, I bid 400 million Berries!"
A rough voice rang out, with undisguised confidence and arrogance.
Instantly, a fierce bidding war broke out in the auction house, with various forces bidding against each other for this precious auction item.
The atmosphere in the entire auction house reached a climax, and everyone was attracted by this fierce bidding war, staring intently at the Sea Stone pistol on the auction stage.
Jin An looked at the bidding crowd, a faint smile on his face.
Although he was somewhat interested in this gun, he was not in a hurry to participate in the bidding.
Since this thing can be put up for auction, it means that the seller must have more in stock.
Moreover, the price of 300 million Berries is enough to buy 10 Luffys who have just set sail. He can use this money to do more meaningful things.
What's more, now that Wano Country is in his hands, he can slowly study Sea Stone products.
"It's effective against ability users, but you have to be able to hit them..."
Tian Yue Shi muttered, a trace of worry in her eyes.
Jin An smiled, a sly glint in his eyes:
"Don't say that, there is one type of person who might get hit."
Tian Yue Shi thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up:
"Logia-type Devil Fruit users!"
"Correct answer."
Jin An nodded in approval.
Because Logia-type ability users can be immune to various attacks, they often ignore bullets, and Sea Stone pistols can give them a fatal blow when they are not paying attention.
"1 billion Berries!!!"
The sudden bid plunged the auction house into silence.
Everyone's eyes turned to the person who shouted the sky-high price.
Faced with the gaze of the entire auction house, Celestial Dragon Anderson Sei just stared at the Sea Stone pistol, his eyes flashing with greed and excitement:
"New toy!"
The money that many people can't earn in a lifetime is just a drop in the bucket for the Celestial Dragons.
The people around whispered:
"1 billion Berries? Are they crazy..."
"Hey, Anderson Sei, remember to let me play with this little thing when you buy it back."
One of the Celestial Dragons opened his mouth lazily, his tone with a matter-of-course demand.
"You have money too, go buy it yourself!"
Anderson blew a bubble from his nose and said impatiently.
"So heartless..."
Another Celestial Dragon complained, but there was no unhappiness on his face, but a hint of戏谑.
The tense atmosphere in the auction house was slightly eased by these words, but the mood of the crowd remained heavy.
After all, the intervention of the Celestial Dragons meant that almost no one else had a chance to get this auction item.
Jin An watched all this indifferently, pondering in his heart.
He was not in a hurry to bid, but was more interested in the future development of the auction.
