One Piece: The Magician

Chapter 272 Baobao Fruit

Everyone present focused their attention on the auction stage.

The VIPs who can participate in the auction are naturally rich or noble, but it may be the first time for many of them to watch Devil Fruit users display their abilities up close.

Stewis handed the small wooden hammer used to host the auction to the blue-haired slave girl. The latter hesitated for a while after taking it, and looked timidly at the auctioneer wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who looked like a frightened little girl. The animal-like reaction is really cute and makes people feel very easy to bully.

"Well, it seems our little beauty is a little shy."

Stewis turned around and looked at the metal collar on the blue-haired girl's slender, swan-like neck with a smile. He lowered his voice and said, "Use your ability on this hammer quickly. If you don't want that thing on your neck, "If it explodes"

The girl trembled when she heard this and almost dropped the wooden hammer in her hand. She was so frightened that she hurriedly clenched it hard and closed her eyes quietly.

A faint white light flashed past, and the small wooden hammer in the girl's hand disappeared into thin air in the blink of an eye.

"Well" Sherlock's expression changed slightly, because at the moment when the slave girl "disappeared" the wooden hammer, the strange feeling he felt from the former suddenly became very strong.

"What's the situation? Is she doing magic?" xn

The onlookers who didn't know the truth in the audience looked confused. Things developed so suddenly that they didn't react at all.

"Very good, come on, continue."

Stewis nodded with satisfaction, then he snapped his fingers, and immediately several staff members came out from the backstage carrying a lot of various goods, and at Stewis's signal Next, the slave girl's white and tender hands touched these items one by one.

Chairs, cannons, rings, stones, gold, everything she touched turned into a white light and disappeared out of thin air.

"Okay, take out everything." Stewis ordered.

The girl raised her hand after hearing this, and a white light flashed again on the auction stage. The items that had disappeared out of thin air reappeared and piled up into a small mountain on the stage.

"Interesting abilities"

"Is this magic?"

"It's so magical. Devil Fruit is indeed a secret treasure in the sea."

After watching the "magic show" on the auction stage, the bidders in the audience were talking a lot. They were not stupid, so they naturally knew that the girl slave's fruit ability was related to storing things.

"Ahem, as everyone saw just now, what she ate is the superman devil fruit Baobao fruit."

Stewis picked up his small wooden hammer and tapped it a few times to signal the distinguished guests in the audience to quiet down.

"As a user with the bag fruit ability, she is equivalent to a backpack with a large storage space. All non-living things she touches can be put into the bag space in her body. I have to say that this fruit ability is really It’s so convenient.”

The distinguished guests all nodded in agreement. Although this fruit ability does not seem to have any combat function, it is indeed very practical in life.

At the very least, you don’t have to carry a bunch of luggage with you when traveling, and you don’t have to worry about thieves stealing your valuables inside.

If my wife eats this fruit, will she no longer have to pester me to buy her a bag? Several male nobles thought this in their hearts.

"The storage capacity of the bag space is linked to physical strength. I don't know the specific limit, but according to previous experiments done by our auction house, it will definitely not be less than the carrying capacity of a medium-sized cargo ship. "Auctioneer Stewis once again dropped this bombshell news.

Wow, the whole auction house was in an uproar.

Everyone present stared at the slave girl with bright eyes. In their eyes, this slave was no longer just a very eye-catching and rare ability user slave, but a humanoid who could move with a huge carrying capacity. means of transport

Just imagine if her fruit ability was used to load contraband goods or be used for smuggling.

Thinking of the huge profits brought by the smuggling trade, everyone's breathing became heavier.

This slave must be photographed

Everyone secretly swore in their hearts and looked at the other bidders around them with no good intentions. The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and the warm atmosphere in the venue suddenly reached the highest point of this auction.

Interestingly, this bag space sounds somewhat similar to my mirror space.Sherlock pushed up his glasses slightly and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The bag space is much larger than the current mirror space, but the "Sherlock" inside the mirror once said that the mirror space is actually the junction between the real world and the mirror world, so it stands to reason that there is still Little room for growth

And what I'm more concerned about is why the indescribable weird feeling gets stronger every time she opens her backpack. Could it be that there is something in her backpack that attracts me?

Sherlock vaguely remembered that he had felt this strange feeling from other things before, but since he mirrored a devil fruit, the memory of a certain pair of glasses seemed to have declined, so he had no clue for a while. .

Sherlock is not a person who likes to ask questions to the end, but only if this question does not arouse his curiosity.

And this beautiful slave girl on the stage has successfully aroused the sorcerer's interest.

"Everyone who is working on it must have understood the value it contains, so I won't waste any more time."

Auctioneer Stewis knocked his little wooden hammer again to signal everyone to be quiet. Then he pondered for a while and said in a deep voice: "I will announce that the last item in this auction is an edible bag. The beautiful slave who packs fruits, starting price: 2 million berries, each increase must not be less than 1000 million berries.”

As soon as this high starting price came out, the bidders in the audience who did not have strong capital sighed helplessly.They knew the final starting price would be very high, but they didn't expect it to be so insanely high.

"2 billion"

"2 billion"

"2 billion"

However, the truly wealthy nobles and wealthy businessmen have begun to rush to increase the price. After knowing the hidden value of this slave, these rich people raised the price without any hesitation.

The slave girl's worth began to rise at a rocket-like speed, but looking at her pitiful appearance on the stage, the poor slave should not feel the slightest joy about it.

"Oh, what a pity. I spent too many Beli on the previous slave auction."

Gene touched his mustache with some annoyance. He turned to look at Sherlock, planning to invite a certain glasses to have a cup of tea and chat, and talk about business matters by the way.

"Sherlock, are you interested in going to my jewelry store later?"

Gene stopped mid-sentence because he was shocked to find that the man with glasses, who had repeatedly said that he did not intend to bid for the slave, actually raised his sign with a calm expression.

And the price listed on his brand is even more jaw-dropping.

"One billion berries. The gentleman with glasses offered one billion berries."

Stewis exclaimed. Even though he was as calm as he was, he was so shocked that his voice was trembling.

The chief auctioneer of Carlo Auction House has presided over so many slave auctions, but this is the first time he has encountered a bidding price of one billion berries. Looking at the understatement and casual look of this young man wearing glasses, it seems that this small amount of money is not enough for him. To him, it's nothing.

Rich and willful.

That's it, right?

Who is this guy?

Everyone secretly guessed the origin of this man with glasses. Unfortunately, the dim light under the stage did not allow them to see Sherlock's face clearly. They could only see a blurry outline and a pair of glasses reflecting white light.

The entire auction venue was silent. Perhaps the slave girl felt the change in the atmosphere in the audience. She carefully raised her head and looked in the direction of Sherlock, and happened to meet the pair of deep black eyes under the latter's lenses.

The two people's eyes met for a fleeting moment.

Unlike those scary people, he doesn't look like a bad guy.

The blue-haired girl lowered her head deeply. Somehow, her heart, which was originally extremely frightened and helpless, became much calmer as if by magic.
