43 Okane ga Arimasen (1/2)
A sweet sigh echoed through the room as I looked bored at the item that had just been auctioned, the tusk of an ancient Mega mammoth that looked bigger than a part of the building. How they got in the colossal monstrosity I knew not, the only thing I did know, was that the fuck ton sold for more than all the other items on the list combined.
Thing looked big enough to seriously injure any one from a few miles away, and gouging holes into anyone that had the misfortune of so much as touching the tip of the monstrosity.
”Damn! That looks like something that would look cool on the forefront of any ship!!” Fawkes whistled, in a rare show of emotion in his otherwise stoic and butler-y vibe. (I do Not Look like a butler you asshole!!)
”That is true.. What do you say we get it for the ship we're gonna have built when we go to waters 7?” I asked, as I chuckled evilly. ”That sounds fun~” Sorren said, nodding in the corner. With his greasy mouth and blank expression, he reminded me of the look I imagine I had when I first touched chocolate, all those years ago.
”Lunatics…..” could be heard from a rather weary new addition to the team to whom, we had in a bout of Sorren like stupidity- introduced ourselves to. Which I now regretted. ' Oh well, no use crying over spilled milk I suppose…'
”With that I come to the last item of this rather rambunctious part of the auction - An accurate map to the Grand Line!! Ladies and Gentleman, imagine the amount of use this piece of paper could offer.
Since everyone knows of the Grand Line and it's many dangers I believe no introduction is required for this Magnificent item. its pricing shall have a begin at a measly price of 500 belli. Let the bidding begin!” He shouted proudly looking at the uproar that his words had caused.
”500 Belli!”
”Fool dare dream of buying such an invaluable map for only 500 belli. This old man has itchy hands to spank you in, 800 Belli!”
”Old man that is sexual harassment! Fuck off. 900 belli!!” All sorts of cries rang out, raising the price of the hot commodity to a 3000 belli, in a matter of minutes.
”Oi cap, we aren't buying this?” Fawkes asked, looking at me curiously. ”At the beginning I thought of just winging it through the calm belt, but now that you say this, well why not? We literally have bills to throw around after all!” I said before broadly chuckling - I wanted to make a grand entrance!
'heh! should have known! Bastards!!' Terrick thought as he stared, blazing trails of red hot flame into my currently sweating back. ”Oi granddaddy don't swing that way fool!!” I said looking behind me.
”6000 belli!” A proud voice called out from one of the VIP boxes, immediately forcing all the previously raving candidates below to immediately shut up.
