Chapter 112: Your Only Value
Most of the money he brought this time was spent on this devil fruit, and the remaining money could not buy anything worthy of being used as an additional reward for the Martial Arts Tournament.
After all, the focus of this auction is not some valuable treasures but slaves, which is pretty fucked up.
If Gin takes a fancy to this Devil Fruit, the Martial Arts Tournament can only offer money as a reward.
But, if he offers a prize of 100 or 200 million Belly, he believes that no one in East Blue can refuse it.
Thinking of this, Gawain had an idea in his mind, so he stood up and left.
At the entrance to the auction house, several pirates guarding here saw Gawain walking hurriedly and followed him under the cover of night, but their eyes were still fixed on the box in Gawain's hand.
The person in the middle was holding a Den Den Mushi receiver, with a look of tangible greed on his face.
"Captain, we found a fat sheep here. He spent 400 million Belly at the auction to buy a Devil Fruit."
"It's not fishing, is it?"
"I can still flip… Huh? Where is he?!"
"Not right!"
A cry of surprise was heard, and a look of real fear appeared on the pirate's face.
Just because a silver light flashed in the night, it cut the pirate in front of him in half; blood flowed everywhere, internal organs spilled all over the ground, and emitted a foul smell.
He also found in the next moment that his arm had been separated from his body, and severe pain instantly rushed to his mind.
A silver-white sword was pressed against his shoulder, suppressing all his wailing.
Gawain looked at the pirate in front of him with an indifferent expression and said in a cold voice: "Where is your captain?"
The pirate hesitated for a second, but the next moment, Gawain cut off one of his ears.
Under the double pain, his body was almost numb.
Only the instinct of fear made him tremble continuously.
This is not a fat sheep; this is a living devil!
How could there be such a monster in the East Blue?!
At this moment of fear, the pirate heard Gawain's emotionless voice again: "I'll ask you one last time, where is your captain?!"
"The captain dies, or you die; it's your choice!"
Gawain had no sympathy for these pirates who were targeting him.
After all, if it were someone else, the final outcome would most likely be death.
Moreover, when Gawain realized that he was being followed, he immediately changed his original plan of taking the Devil Fruit and leaving.
Everyone who enters the auction house tonight, whether pirates or nobles, will go to hell after.
After all… I'm a pirate, too!
It doesn't make sense that if others are the only ones robbing me, I can't rob others.
In that case, I might as well make enough money in one go.
While thinking, the murderous intent in Gawain's eyes seemed to become tangible, and the body of the pirate in front of him trembled slightly.
At this moment, there is no time to worry about so-called loyalty.
"In the harbor, the pirate flag has been removed, but there is a lion decoration on the bow!"
"Please, spare me!"
The only answer he got was a lightning-fast slash from Gawain.
Bang!
A head fell to the ground, leaving a pool of scarlet blood.
After doing all this, Gawain raised his hand to wipe the blood off the sword, turned around, and walked away quickly, but suddenly, he remembered what Kuro had said before.
Make big money from the rich!
Every noble and pirate who came to this harbor today is a scum, yet they are all extremely rich.
However, the forces involved in tonight's auction are extremely complex, even involving the underworld and the Baroque Workshop.
The doll shop that Gawain saw in the afternoon gradually appeared in front of his eyes, and he gradually formed an idea in his heart.
How to take away everything without exposing oneself is a problem.
While thinking, he turned and walked towards the harbor in the distance.
Under the moonlight, several bodies that had been cut in half were lying not far from the auction venue.
It also made the pirates who originally wanted to track Gawain break out in a cold sweat, and they gave up and turned to track other targets.
After a few minutes, Daz Bonez and Zala rushed here and looked at the pool of blood on the ground.
After taking a deep breath, Zala said solemnly: "They were all killed with one strike, leaving no one alive. The person who did it had extremely high attainments in swordsmanship."
Daz Bonez inexplicably had a bad feeling: "Could it be the person who bought the devil fruit before?"
"If it's him, things will be troublesome."
Halfway through his words, Daz Bonez's voice was interrupted by an explosion in the distant harbor.
Boom!
Amid the flames, the damaged warships slowly sailed into the harbor.
Daz Bonez's eyes shrank slightly after he saw the figure on the deck, and his vest was soaked with cold sweat at this moment: "One of the seven warlords of the sea, King of Lizards, Hanafuda? How could such a big shot appear here!"
"The situation became even more troublesome!"
Zala frowned; her palms were already wet with sweat because this kind of opponent was no longer someone they could handle.
"So the person who made you feel uneasy at the auction venue before must have been him."
Daz Bonez was indifferent.
Judging from the existing intelligence, Hanafuda, who is far away, is indeed the only possible candidate.
After some thought, there's still no result.
He simply gave up thinking and took Zala to track down the place where Gawain disappeared.
"Quick!"
"After we get the Devil Fruit, we will leave immediately!"
"Okay!"
At the same time, in the harbor.
Flames rose high, several buildings were on fire, and wailing sounds were heard everywhere.
Hanafuda stood at the bow, watching everything indifferently.
"Captain, I've found out that there's an auction going on here, and there are fat sheep everywhere!"
"As long as we control the harbor, we can control everything here!"
After speaking, the pirate showed a cruel smile on his face.
Hanafuda, who was standing nearby, was still wrapped in bandages, with blood oozing from the wound.
His original purpose for this trip was to go directly to Raven Harbor and take back the Red Dragon fruit from White Knight Gawain, but he encountered attacks from the Marines along the way.
The original pirate ship was directly sunk, and even the captured warship under his feet was seriously damaged.
In addition to the supply problem, he could only come to the nearby Loguetown to replenish supplies. However, he did not expect to receive such a valuable gift as soon as he arrived.
"We can barely recover our losses!"
"Do it!"
Along with Hanafuda's orders, the pirates who had followed him all the way here from the Grand Line came out in droves, waving their swords and fighting with the guards in the harbor.
Swords clashed, and artillery fire roared.
Amid the rising explosions, the marines assembled in the harbor were completely defeated by the pirates in just over ten minutes.
Without Smoker's leadership, the combat effectiveness of these marines is ultimately limited.
The murderous pirates even slashed the surrounding civilians with their swords.
There were cries and screams of civilians everywhere.
Amid the sound of fire, the bloodthirsty pirates gradually moved towards the interior of Loguetown.
The harbor of Loguetown was instantly thrown into chaos.
Hanafuda stood at the bow and saw countless civilians lying in a pool of blood, but he felt no sympathy at all.
"There is no room for the weak in this ocean. Your only value is to become my nourishment for growth."
"Tears? Wailing?"
"That's the instinct of the weak!"
"The strong will only stand up again and again until the moment they defeat their opponents!"
