44 Devil fruit! (1/2)
”.. With that the twin blades shall begin at the low low price of 75000 belle!!” The auctioneer roared as he brought the gravel down, indicating the beginning of the money slinging fest that began with a flurry.
”Oi cap, you think we need this?” Fawkes asked motioning at the blades on display. ”Nah, not really, let's just mess with all the guys in the auction though!” I replied with a deep chuckle resounding through the room as the other inhabitants shivered.
”There the guest in the bottom row has called out the price of 76000 belli! Now there with the price of 80000 Belli the VIP corner begin moving, obviously anxious to join the bidding war, and already they are trumped with the price of 85000 Belli called out by VIP room 6!
Oh the man in the bottom rows has not given up yet! With a call of 87000 Belli the man rejoins the battle!! Oh ho with the call of 95000 the honest guest from room four also joins the ship!!
The guest from the room 8 too calls in their bid of 98000 belli!! Again with the price of 100000 belli the guest in room number 6 returns!...” the auctioneer roared, riding the wave that was the vibe of hype that had taken the hall by storm.
The roars of people both calling out and cheering grew louder egged on by the overly excited auctioneer who had by now chosen to raise his hand into the sky and begun acting like a famous music artist at his own concert.
However, after a period of money induced madness, the room once again cooled over into a semblance of what it used to be, save for the excitement that this round had brought to the fore. The price had finally been decided on the mark of an overly high 190000 belli, much to Fawkes' chagrin and Terrick's utter awe.
”Now then ladies and gentlemen, to one of the three attractions of this event, let us go on to one of the world famous and mysterious Devil Fruits.
This particular fruit was found on the crags of one of the islands in North Blue. The island called No man's Jetty!!
The old place was once owned by a fallen noble, who decided to gift it to the now Mayor of the peaceful town. This fruit was thus traded with us by the kindly man, when we convinced him that it would do no good with him~
Thus Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the first gamble of the evening!” He roared with a lot of gusto as he waved his hands through the air.
”Let's identify that fruit… well let's see here..” I said as I scrutinized the fruit with the aid of my devil fruit. ”That is a paramecia… the Vacuum fruit!!” I chuckled out, my eyes glimmering with barely concealed surprise.
”Hoh.. So I take it you want it?” Terrick asked, taking his eyes off Sorren with whom he had been having what looked like an enjoyable conversation.
