Rebirth in One Piece as Deputy Captain

Chapter 598

The entrance of the Mermaid Camie immediately pushed the atmosphere of the auction to the climax.

Under the dazzling light, the entire auction hall was filled with exclamations of surprise for the appearance of the Mermaid Camie.

Even in this largest auction house in the Sabaody Archipelago, a beautiful species like themMermaid was rarely seen in several years. They did not expect that they would actually encounter it today.

“Great, this is a rare quality that can only be encountered by luck.” In the crowd, a prince with a crown on his head was full of excitement.

Dong…

The auctioneer on the stage knocked on the table several times with the wooden club in his hand. The noisy auction hall quieted down a little, but there were still many people whispering to each other.

“Everyone, everyone knows that the fishmen are the fastest creatures in the sea. In addition, the fishmen are generally difficult to come out of the human world, so everyone knows that the fishmen are very difficult to catch.”

“In order to catch this mermaid, our auction house wasted a lot of manpower to finally catch this mermaid from the Fishman Island, Camie.”

Just as the auctioneer was introducing it to his heart’s content, how much effort had it taken for them to catch this mermaid, and how rare it was.

However, he did not notice that Camie, who was locked in the glass tank, was tightly pressed against the glass, her eyes anxiously sweeping over the densely packed people in front of her who were extremely excited because of her appearance.

Her eyes were filled with anticipation as she quickly swept through the areas, but she still did not find that Hatchan and the others were sitting on the auction seats, the anticipation in her eyes gradually weakening.

Suddenly, a happy smile appeared on Camie’s face. Nami and the others were standing behind the auction table.

Camie shouted, “Great, Hatchan and the others are here to save me.”

After the auction, everyone looked at Camie, who was right in front of them. They couldn’t help but be nervous. It was time to fight for Camie.

“Alright, let’s bid for Camie. We have 200 milion Belly!” Nami’s eyes revealed a certain confidence.

Saint Charlos withdrew his snot that was about to fall and looked at Camie with disgust, “Great, mermaid, I didn’t expect that there would really be a mermaid selling here.”

Holding the microphone, the auctioneer was full of smiles. Looking at the excited and lustful gazes of the people in front of him, the auctioneer knew that this mermaid would probably sell for a price that far exceeded his estimation.

“Everyone, let’s cut the crap. The mermaid is a rare species. Everyone who arrives here today, don’t let go of this opportunity. Let us announce that the starting bid for the mermaid, Camie, is…”

“500 million!”

Just as the auctioneer was about to announce the starting bid, the two words – 500 million – were like a clap of thunder that exploded from the auction hall.

Many people who were originally prepared to bid for the mermaid were directly scared out of their wits by the 500 million number that was shouted out in the auction hall. The noisy auction hall instantly fell into a strange silence.

Although everyone guessed that the price of this mermaid was terrifyingly high, they didn’t expect that someone would actually bid 500 million without even bidding a low price.

500 million was not 500 thousand or 5 million, this was a terrifying number. Many of the people present were from nobles, and some were even princes. However, if they were to take out 500 million, how many people could do it?

Even if there was a reason why they would use 500 million to buy a mermaid, 500 million was something that even powerful Devil Fruit users could buy, even if those world-famous pirates had more than 500 million.

“Idiot, the guy who shouted this price must be a fool.”

At that moment, everyone had the same thought. In fact, they were not wrong. The guy who called out this price was indeed a fool.

On the most important VIP platform in the auction, Saint Charlos stood up, stretched out his hand, and shouted again, “500 million, I offer 500 million Belly.”

Gulp…

The frightened auctioneer on the auction platform could not help but swallow his saliva when he heard this price again, as if he could suppress the nervousness in his heart.

500 million had completely exceeded his expectations. Originally, he thought that the price of one hundred million was already not bad, but he did not expect that someone would directly call out the price of 500 million.

Bang!

Many people who were preparing to call out the price seemed to have no strength to return to their chairs and shook their heads. “It’s too high. The price of 500 million is too high.”

Indeed, 500 million was not something that the audience could afford. Even if there was 500 million, it would not be used to buy a mermaid.

Moreover, the one who shouted this price was the Celestial Dragon. If he offended the World Noble, he would be in trouble later.

Da…

The auction card in Nami’s hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound. 500 million was already not something everyone could afford.

Sanji, who was the first to react, said, “How could this happen? There are actually 500 million. We don’t have enough money.”

He looked at his son, who was like a fool, and said lightly, “You are spending money again. Don’t you have piranhas in your tank?”

To be honest, 500 million wasn’t a small number for Saint Charlos. Moreover, he had spent so much money to buy a mermaid. If it was spread to Mary Geoise, he would probably be laughed at by those guys again.

Saint Charlos sat down and replied, “Is this how fun it is? I heard that Fishmen are the fastest in the world. I want to take a look.”

Under the 500 million price of Saint Charlos, the entire auction house was filled with sighs. How could anyone compete with the Celestial Dragons? It seemed like the Celestial Dragons would definitely buy this mermaid.

“What should we do? If we don’t have a way, we will be taken away by the Celestial Dragons.”

“600 million Belly!”

In the next moment, just as countless people thought that the mermaid in front of them was going to be bought by the Celestial Dragons, a calm bidding sound rang out.

Another clap of thunder sounded in the auction hall. The people who originally thought that the situation had been set, did not expect that someone would bid at this moment. They looked in the direction of the bidding sound with stunned eyes.

Behind the auction table, a beautiful girl with orange hair was holding a number 73 in her hand.

Facing the strange gazes of the crowd, Nami’s expression did not change. He shouted again, “We bid 600 million Belly!”

Rumble!

The calm auction suddenly became noisy. Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them. It was just an ordinary mermaid. Even if it was precious, no one would bid such a high price.

“How is that possible? They actually paid 600 million!”

“Where did they come from? They are so rich. Six hundred million is so easy to take out!”

“They look like pirates, but how can pirates have so much money? It can’t be fake, right?”

“It doesn’t matter whether they have it or not. These guys are really bold. They even steal things from the Celestial Dragons.”

…

Franky quickly reminded her from behind, “Hey, Nami, how can we have 600 million Belly, those treasures are only worth…”

“That’s right, Nami, why are you bidding? You can’t afford 600 million. If you randomly bid, Camie will still belong to the Celestial Dragons, and you will also anger the auction house and the Celestial Dragons.” Hatchan looked extremely anxious.

Although he also wanted to save Camie, Nami couldn’t just randomly bid. This way, not only would he not cause trouble for them, but he would also cause trouble for them.

Nami raised her hand and blocked everyone’s persuasion. She stared at the sad Nami on the auction stage and said with a serious expression, “Don’t worry, I didn’t randomly bid.”

“But…” Chopper still couldn’t believe Nami’s explanation.

“But Lin Tian is rich. Although 600 million is a lot, I know that Lin Tian has a lot of money in his hands. 600 million is easy for Lin Tian to take out.”

Hearing Nami’s explanation, everyone suddenly didn’t say anything. They also knew about Lin Tian’s wealth and identity. It was not exaggerated at all that he could easily take out 600 million.

Among the group of Kid in the corner, someone glanced at him and said disdainfully, “These guys are really reckless. They actually reported the price in such a place.”

As pirates, everyone knew how a single pirate could produce such an astronomical figure as 600 million Belly. Although the pirates were rich, the expenses of the pirates were very large.

Most pirates were drunk, and the money that was basically in their pockets would be distributed soon. They didn’t know that even a pirate like Moria who had been roaming the sea for decades only had 200 million Belly Treasure.

Kid suddenly asked, “Killer, what do you think?”

After thinking for a while, Killer replied, “What we are looking at now is not whether they can take out 600 million Belly, but how important this mermaid is to them, but now it seems that the answer is already known.”

“Haha, that’s right, there will be a good show to watch next.” Kid laughed loudly.

Trafalgar Law, who was sitting in the auction, lowered his head and revealed a smile of anticipation, “I never thought that something like this would happen at a time like this. There’s going to be a good show.”

Someone actually dared to snatch the merman from him. Saint Charlos didn’t even think about it before standing up and raising his two palms, he shouted, “1 billion Belly, I want 1 billion Belly!”

“1.1 billion Belly!” As soon as Saint Charlos shouted, Nami raised the sign in her hand and shouted again.

“What!”

Seeing that the guy behind him still dared to raise the price, Saint Charlos looked back and wanted to see who could resist him.

As for the auctioneer on the stage, he was shocked by the price of the two people, Nami and Saint Charlos. As an auctioneer, he had not auctioned more than a billion items, and it was also a mermaid.

Not only did he turn around, but he also looked at Nami and the others behind the auction.

He said with contempt, “A lowly scum pirate dares to steal things from us? Men, catch these people and kill them.”

Who were they? They were the descendants of the God, the Celestial Dragons. Without them, there would be no world. Unexpectedly, there were people fighting with them for things. This was something that many teenagers had never encountered.

“Wait a minute, father.” Suddenly, Saint Charlos reached out to stop his father. He looked at Nami with lust in his eyes. Father, I want to keep those two women and make them my wives.

“Bastard!”

Hearing this, everyone was furious. They couldn’t help but curse. This stupid guy dared to have ideas about Nami and Robin.
