45 Angella (1/2)
”...Hah, And with the final price of 120000 belli, the twin slaves are sold~! Moving on however, we once again come up with another Devil fruit of the evening, this fruit we know slightly more about, this fruit allows the user to seemingly transform into an animal of some form, which has been guaranteed by our informant in the grand line!” The auctioneer roared, once again the room was hyped with the weird looking fruit at the epicenter of the storm.
'Hmmm let's identify once again, this is the Zoan type fruit, the snail fruit?? Pfttt I feel pity for the poor sod who chooses to buy this, this is almost as useless as a type human fruit eaten by anyone who is human!' I thought guffawing at the looks of wonder in the faces of all the people in the hall, sans of course the members if this room.
The fruit itself looked much like a snail shell colored in an exquisite violet.
”The bidding for this fruit shall begin with a low price of 80000 belli! But the rules for this particular item, shall be bent slightly, the increment price shall be raised by 4000 belli! Therefore, those wishing to buy this fruit shall begin their monetary crusade with the price of 80000.
Moving onto the background for this fruit, it was procured for us in from the Grand line, particularly from the noble kingdom of Alabasta!
Without further ado, let the battle begin!!” the auctioneer roared as the people in the lower rooms cheered, no doubt imagining the fruit to change the user into a cat person, While those from the VIP level were excited for a completely different reason, excluding us of course.
with a slight whistle the bidding war officially began, with prices flying from every corner of the room. With a loud roar the auctioneer could be seen motioning his hands up and down, seemingly ordering the prices to increase.
The crowd was whipped into a frenzy with every increase in the price, slowly however the momentum of the bidders began to dwindle as the many spenders, stopped to ask themselves whether the fruit was actually worth the price that had unconsciously snow balled into a monumental pricing.
With a final thud of the hammer against the gravel however the bidding finally stopped, the person who had bought it, the person who belonged to room 6 had finally managed to bag the damn thing at a truly exorbitant price of 190000 belli.
”I thank the guest in room number in room 6 for your continuous patronage!” the auctioneer squeaked cheekily as he handed over the fruit to the helper at the side who could immediately be seen running up the side. (And by seen, of course I mean observed…)
”Now then ladies and gentlemen we only have two other items to displayed, the final devil fruit and the slaves offered by the esteemed San Juan family.
The bid for both individuals together, shall begin at the price of 70000 belli. Any and all bids shall be done with increments of a thousand belli!”
