Kano Country receives some precious wood every year. These woods are extremely expensive and are usually difficult to sell, so they are generally concentrated in large auctions for sale.
The auction venue is the open-air timber area on the south bank of Kano Country.
When Ross and Robin arrived, a large number of people had gathered in the open-air timber area. Most of them were merchants and aristocrats from various countries, and there were also some pirates mixed among them.
There was a large amount of wood laid out on the field. The most eye-catching of them all was undoubtedly a huge tree that was about forty meters long. It was the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam. Whether it was its hardness or flexibility, it was above ordinary steel!
"This branch of Treasure Tree Adam, it shouldn't be the one that built the Thousand Sunshine Ship in the original work."
Looking at the most conspicuous branch of Treasure Tree Adam from afar, his eyes flashed with suspicion, but he still shook his head.
How could there be such a coincidence, not to mention that it is the eleventh year of the Great Age of Pirates.
After Ross took back his gaze, he casually found a seat on the edge and sat down.
Soon.
The trade of wood began. The auctioneer wearing a suit walked to the stage and took the lead in introducing a crimson stake that was five or six meters long.
It is a trunk of crimson oak. Whether it is used to make tables and chairs or sofas, it is very luxurious. Ross was not interested in it and calmly listened to the bidding of some aristocrats.
"Five million Berries once … Five million Berries twice …"
"Deal!"
The man in charge of the auctioneer dropped the hammer with a smile and quickly began to introduce the second piece of rare wood.
Two hours passed in a blink of an eye, during which there were occasionally precious ship wood appearing, but regardless of size or quality, it was far less suitable than the branch of Treasure Tree Adam. Ross only looked at it a few times and then took back his gaze.
Compared to the furniture, there were very few bidders who valued the wood for ships. Most nobles were not interested in the wood for ships.
Finally.
The wood on the field was traded piece by piece, and it was the turn of the dark red wood that exuded an ancient atmosphere at the end.
"Finally … it's the turn of today's highlight."
The man in the suit who was in charge of hosting was a little tired after talking for a few hours. However, he still forced himself to cheer up and pointed at the last piece of wood.
"There was an island that had gone through countless wars. Even though the island was attacked by a hail of bullets, and none of the residents were spared, and the city was reduced to ruins, there was a tree that was lucky enough to survive and still stands tall."
"There are only a few such trees in the world, and the most powerful one is called Treasure Tree Adam! That's right! What is placed here is the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam! "
"The starting price … 100 million Berries!"
As the man in the suit shouted the word 100 Million Berries hoarsely, there was silence in the field. There were only a few sounds of discussion and no one immediately made a bid.
Meanwhile, the man in the suit who was hosting the auction became a little anxious. He was worried that the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam would not be auctioned. Finally, someone made a bid.
"100 million Berries."
It was a merchant with a mustache sitting in the front row, and he only called out a base price.
"110 million."
Someone began to bid. Both of them were merchants. They felt that if the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam was sold to the right person, it would be more than 100 million Berries.
Several merchants started to bid and the price of the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam slowly rose to 150 million Berries.
This price has made many merchants retreat. The price is too high and the risk of reselling is too great. In case something goes wrong, they will not earn much money.
"200 million."
Ross finally opened his mouth to bid.
The price was raised from 150 million Berries to 200 million Berries, which shocked many aristocratic merchants in the field. The price of 200 million Berries was already too high for them to bear.
At the same time, some pirates who were eyeing the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam but had no money and planned to rob it halfway also looked in the direction of the voice, wanting to see who was bidding this time.
"It's that man …"
"Ghost Hand Ross!"
When the eyes of some pirates fell on Ross, they were shocked. Many pirates looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes.
No matter which merchant or aristocrat bought this Treasure Tree Adam's branch, they planned to rob it halfway, but if Ross bought it, then they would not be able to get this Ship Wood.
Rob Ross?
Are you kidding me!
The sea on the West Coast may still be bright red now!
Maybe someone would dare to attack the Ghost Hand Pirates, but it is definitely not them.
In addition to the pirates, the merchants and aristocrats did not directly recognize Ross, but when they listened to the people around them, they quickly reacted and looked different for a while.
"That guy is a pirate, Ghost Hand Ross."
"Can a pirate come up with so much money?"
The price of 200 million Berries itself is already a bit high, and the one who bid is Ghost Hand Ross, a famous pirate of the West Blue, obviously has to think about it.
"… Ghost Hand Ross."
The face of the man in charge of the Suit also changed.
He knew that there were many pirates here, but he did not expect that a pirate would bid 200 million Berries to buy the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam. There are too many unstable factors.
However, when he thought that this is the official auction house of Kano Country, and all matters are under the responsibility of the Seven Treasures Navy, he was relieved.
In addition to the merchants, aristocrats and pirates, there are some people who have been staring at Ross since the beginning. When they saw Ross bidding for the branches of Treasure Tree Adam, these people showed a strange expression and quietly shrank into the back of the crowd and disappeared.
One second … two seconds …
Except for some low voices of discussion, the scene remained quiet, no one bid again, whether it was a merchant or an aristocrat.
"200 million Berries, sold!"
The man in charge of the Suit shouted a few times, seeing that no one dared to compete with Ross, he finally took a deep breath and dropped the hammer.
At the same time as the hammer fell, the person in charge of the auction house immediately came to Ross and bowed to Ross and invited him:
"Sir, please come here to deliver the goods."
"Good."
Ross stood up calmly and followed.
Kano Country's Seven Treasures Navy, who are responsible for the order of the auction house, wearing special clothes, are also very serious and vigilant in the face of Ross's arrival. All of them are holding weapons. Obviously, they do not dare to be careless for Ross, the evil existence of the West Blue.
"200 million Berries, count it."
At Ross's signal, Robin opened the three boxes in the back and quickly sorted out 200 million Berries and piled them there.
The person in charge of the auction house was a little stunned, he didn't expect Ross to really pay the price of 200 million Berries, but thinking that Ross seems to have killed a large number of pirates these days, it is not surprising that he got so much money.
Since he is willing to pay, then everything is good.
The person in charge relaxed a lot in his heart and smiled on his face. He stepped forward and quickly counted the piled up Berries.
