The next day, at dawn, the sun shone through the seven-color bubbles on the ground of the Sabaody Archipelago, sprinkling rays of light.
Behind a big tree in Area 4.
Crocodile's eyes were closed and his face was calm. He seemed to be feeling something.
The sound of the breeze, the sound of the grass shaking under his feet, the sound of the birds scratching their heads on the branches, this series of sounds can be clearly detected in his ears, no, to be precise, his perception can be clearly detected.
If there is a strong person with keen perception, at this moment, they will be able to find that there are some tiny particles floating in the area 30 meters around Crocodile.
These particles are very small and difficult to see with the naked eye, but they really exist.
Just like Crocodile's tentacles, these particles could clearly feed back all the nearby information to him. His perception, which was originally at a disadvantage, was amplified to the maximum in an instant.
Even after he has a deeper control, he can rely on these sand particles to form an ability similar to Kenbonshoku (Observation).
After the battle with Z, Crocodile was deeply aware of his shortcomings and was shocked by the terrifying perception of the General-Level. Therefore, he has been thinking about whether he can also have such power.
It wasn't until this morning that he finally controlled the sand particles and formed this new ability.
Because he has just mastered it, he is not very familiar with this ability, but with the passage of time, he will inevitably be able to dig it to a terrifying level.
Carefully feeling everything around him, although his eyes are closed, he can clearly grasp the wind and grass around him.
Suddenly, he said indifferently.
"Start now?"
Stepping over, the woman who was still 30 meters away was startled. Her eyesight is very good. Naturally, she can clearly see that the man who is 30 meters away from her has his eyes closed.
But the other party, with his eyes closed, can still detect her arrival?
"Well, the auction will start in half an hour. This half an hour is our chance!"
The woman said aloud.
It wasn't until the woman was ten meters away from Crocodile that the latter opened his eyes. His eyes were indifferent with a touch of joy.
Mastering a new ability is indeed a happy thing for him.
"Let's go!"
Lighting a cigar, Crocodile took the lead and walked away.
Five minutes later, the two of them walked in through the entrance of the auction house.
No one stopped them, and no one found it suspicious. The auction was very big, and there were all kinds of people. The bodyguards only needed to ensure their safety, and they were not responsible for anything else. In addition, the owner of the auction is backed by the Celestial Dragons, which is so powerful that even the Marines can't underestimate them. They naturally have this confidence.
"What do you want to do?"
Crocodile asked softly.
Naturally, he wasn't stupid enough to think that the other party had come to auction through proper channels.
"Come with me."
The blonde woman said in a low voice.
As she spoke, she quickened her pace and walked along the side aisle of the auction house. Soon, she arrived at the front of the rostrum and walked towards the back with a natural expression on her face.
Crocodile narrowed his eyes and remained calm. He wanted to see what the woman wanted to do.
"Delia, hurry up. The boss is already rushing you. Where did you run off to?"
When he reached the rostrum, a pointy-faced man poked his head out from behind the curtain and anxiously shouted in a low voice.
"I'm coming. I'm going to find my big brother. He's strong. He'll definitely be able to help us."
Delia smiled and said.
The pointy-faced man glanced at Crocodile. He seemed to be intimidated by his fierce appearance and stopped talking.
"Is he safe?"
He muttered, but he quickly got out of the way. Although the other party was a woman, her status in this auction was very high.
Delia led the way, and the two quickly entered the curtain and came to the back of the auction stage.
Crocodile came to the back of the stage and squinted at Delia.
It turned out that she had mixed into the ranks of the auction house workers. After the woman entered, many people greeted her. It seemed that she was doing well. This also meant that the other party had paid a considerable price for her patience.
It's not easy to do odd jobs in such a large auction. You must have a clean background, a clean family, and a certain amount of courage. After all, this auction house often deals with rich people, aristocrats, and even Celestial Dragons.
"Come with me!"
Entering the back of the stage, Delia quickly greeted the people around her. After arranging a few people to do things, she approached Crocodile.
"I'll take you to get the Devil Fruit first, but you, get the Devil Fruit, you have to help me save a person!"
Her words were filled with anxiety and worry, but she forced herself to calm down.
Crocodile's eyes flashed and he nodded slightly.
It's just saving people. It's not a big deal for him. Relatively speaking, a Devil Fruit is worth at least 100 million!
Yesterday, he wandered around the auction house because of greed in his heart. A Devil Fruit, even if he can't use it, but Terensu, Lo Chen, and six other people are useful.
Soon, the two walked quickly all the way, and three minutes later, they came to the door of a bedroom.
"The Devil Fruit is guarded by special people. They are all very experienced powerhouses."
Delia glanced at Crocodile worriedly, doubting whether the other party could solve these people.
In fact, without Delia's words, Crocodile's sand had already spread out and through perception, he had already detected the location of the Devil Fruit.
He strode towards the chest that was surrounded by thirteen people.
"Who are you? Leave quickly! “
The bodyguard in black asked loudly.
However, Crocodile ignored it and quickened his pace. At the same time, the sand particles floating in the air began to combine with each other. After three seconds, a large number of sand particles appeared in front of the bodyguards.
In their horrified eyes, the sand particles deformed into long knives and daggers.
Then, it was quickly wiped.
"Plop!"
The bodyguards fell to the ground with horror and fear.
When everyone fell to the ground, Crocodile had already walked close and lifted the box in his right hand.
"Let's go!"
Looking back, Crocodile came to Delia's side and said.
It was a piece of cake for him to deal with a few small fries. This Devil Fruit was obtained quite smoothly.
"You, you are so strong!"
Delia was shocked. She knew the strength of these bodyguards very well. Each of them was equivalent to a big pirate with a bounty of 30 to 40 million. However, they were easily defeated by the other party.
At the same time, she had more hope of rescuing her brother.
"Where is the guy you want to save?"
