Chapter 194 makes its grand finale appearance!
……
"Damn it... Mermaid Island is Daddy's territory, how dare you capture mermaids and sell them!!"
"Doflamingo!!"
Ace's roar echoed throughout the venue.
"Calm down, Captain Ace!!"
……
"Let go, Teach."
Allen rested his chin on his hand and chuckled lightly, "That clueless bastard, kill him."
Allen has always maintained his bottom line as a human being.
We will never kill civilians without cause, and slave ships will never be allowed within the base area.
He didn't consider himself a good person, but if he had no bottom line, what difference was there between him and a tool driven by power? Sooner or later, he would lose his way under the golden tree.
You're saying this is Dressrosa, not his territory?
It's different now; it just won't work in front of me.
This is a provocation against me!
……
Ace was also waiting for Allen to make a statement, otherwise, how could Teach, who didn't use Armament Haki, have stopped him?
tumultuous!!
The blazing flames illuminated the venue, eliciting gasps from the crowd.
……
"etc!!!"
Doflamingo raised his hand and shouted, afraid that if he was too slow, this brute would attack him.
"I rescued them from the slave ship! I didn't capture them!!"
"I'm the one who had her healed!"
"I know all too well Major General Allen's hatred for slave traders; how could I dare to sell people in front of you!"
"It's a gift!! I was planning to give you the first item I auctioned!!!"
"Someone come quick! Send it over there!!"
……
……
"Why?"
Ace, who had charged halfway, landed and looked back at Allen.
Even Kaido turned his gaze with interest, wondering how he would react.
……
Allen remained silent, and the room fell silent.
Doflamingo nervously swallowed. He sweared to God that this wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; he genuinely intended to betray Allen in public.
He just wanted to explain how precious mermaids are and how difficult it is to obtain them, but Ace didn't give him the chance at all.
Slow down...
"Stop doing unnecessary things; you can't afford to play these games."
……
"Been taught a lesson……"
Doflamingo breathed a sigh of relief and waved for someone to bring up a treasure chest.
Upon opening the treasure chest, one finds a deep red Devil Fruit.
"This is my gift to Governor Kaido: a Zoan-type Bear-Bear Fruit in its brown bear form!"
The brown bear form is considered a relatively powerful Zoan-type Devil Fruit. In terms of value, this Devil Fruit is slightly more valuable than the mermaid fruit, which has a market price of 500 million.
Doflamingo handled both sides fairly.
……
Jack took the treasure chest and snorted, "Just like that guy said, he likes to do unnecessary things."
"That's what the weak are like, Jack."
Kaido leaned back in his chair, as relaxed as if he were in his palace: "I go to great lengths to please those in power in order to gain a little sense of security."
"Heh... Doflamingo's spirit has actually weakened since he stayed here; he's become too weak."
Jack seemed to remember something, and a low laugh came from behind his mask: "He's probably scared of Brother Shou, isn't he? Let him see the difference between himself and a true powerhouse."
Kari spent more than half a year in Wano Country. He had a good impression of this man whom even King admired, and often asked him for advice on battle tactics. He felt that he had benefited a lot from it.
Thinking of this, Jack's gaze toward Allen deepened with malice.
That bastard...
If it were a one-on-one fight back then, this guy would definitely not be a match for Brother Shou!
That's despicable!
……
"Don't look at him."
Kaido said in a low voice, "Jack, his eyes are peculiar; you must not look directly into them."
……
Jack recalled how he felt at the time.
After meeting those eyes, his mind went completely blank, leaving only the urge to rush forward.
That despicable fellow...did he interfere with my consciousness?!
They resort to all sorts of underhanded tactics!
"Understood, Boss Kaido."
……
If Allen knew what Jack was thinking...
He did do similar things quite a few times, but he definitely did not use Sharingan genjutsu on Jack at that time!
Does this guy even need illusions?
Didn't it just pounce on me with a flick of my finger?

"Then... let's officially begin the auction for the first item."
"A legendary sword not yet listed in the catalog, Crimson Gold Flowing Fire!"
The red cloth was lifted.
The scabbard was plain and dark, but the half-inch of the blade that was drawn was different from ordinary blades; it was a deep red crystal, as if dark red magma was flowing inside.
"Made with minerals from an active volcano, and crafted by a master craftsman over several years, it is absolutely no less than the 52 finest knives of the time."
"If wielded by a suitable swordsman, it has the potential to reach the level of the 21 Great Grade Swords!"
"Starting price: 50 million Berries. Bidding begins!"
Doflamingo's voice rang out, and the crowd began to whisper among themselves.
Very few famous swords appear at public auctions; most are passed down from master to apprentice or are privately commissioned.
Doflamingo certainly put a lot of effort into this auction by using such a treasure as the opening act.
……
"A nice knife."
When it comes to eye for knives, no one present can compare to Hawkeye.
He looked at Ace and said calmly, "If you're going to use a knife, it would suit you quite well."
"Me?"
Ace looked at the wooden-handled dagger at his waist, a gift from Miss Makino, the tavern owner, before she left.
"Haha, I'm not very good with knives, but..." Ace leaned closer to Allen, leaning against the back of his chair, "If you, Brother Allen, were willing to buy it for me, I would be very happy to accept!"
That's just his personality. When he discovered that Allen was a genuinely kind person who cared about him, he immediately took advantage of the situation.
"Do we even know each other? Get lost."
Anyone who knows Allen knows that he's incredibly stingy; he wouldn't give away even a single Berries.
If this knife had appeared seven or eight years ago, Allen might have been interested, but now buying it would only make it a decorative item, which wouldn't be very meaningful.
……
Gion raised his bidding paddle.
"Position number seven, this beautiful lady has bid eighty million Berries!"
When a professional host came on stage for the bidding process, Doflamingo still maintained some composure.
Hawkeye looked at Gion, or more precisely, at her sword: "Konpira is a very suitable sword for you, that other sword is not."
"Is it called Gion...? She looks familiar, have we met before?"
When it comes to things related to his profession, Hawkeye talks more.
Gion's forehead creased with annoyance, and he turned his head with a forced smile: "The world's greatest swordsman, of course, doesn't remember his former defeated opponents..."
You remember such a difficult-to-pronounce name as Kim Pi-ra very well!
……
Gion looked at Allen and said, "Tashigi is now training with me, and I want to give her the sword."
Tashigi is Smoker's woman... It seems Smoker hasn't been idle these past few years.
Dolph largely inherited Lieutenant General Tsuru's network of connections, and Smoker also established contact with most of the people on the list.
The time is almost here...
Allen nodded: "That's fine. If it's not enough, I'll lend it to you, and I'll give you two percent interest."
……
"What an oblivious man!"
Ultimately, the sword was purchased by Gion for 210 million Berries. As a candidate for general, she could afford this amount of money and didn't need to borrow it.
……
……
Several rare treasures were not left unsold, including a huge piece of sea stone that fetched a record price of 2.2 billion.
There's no need to wonder where this thing came from.
The purity of Seastone determines the degree to which it can restrain Devil Fruit users. Most organizations don't even have the qualifications to use such high-purity, large-sized Seastone.
Ha ha……
Kaido and the World Government completed a deal right under everyone's noses.
……
Allen wasn't interested in anything, and Kaido didn't offer any price.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the warm-up is over!"
Doflamingo returned to the stage, and the lights focused on the booth.
The booth tabletop collapsed inwards, and a sliver of light rose up.
The pure gold treasure chest was opened, revealing a deep purple Devil Fruit with spirals lying quietly inside, swallowing everyone's gaze like a black hole.
……
"The final act..."
"He once created a legendary pirate crew, plunging the world into chaos!"
"Eat him, and you will gain the power to control the sky and the earth!"
"Paramecia-type Float-Float Fruit!!!!"
