One Piece: Enhanced Supreme Grade Sword

The Whitebeard Pirates' reputation shook the seas for one or two decades.

The reputation of each captain on the ship naturally resounded throughout the sea.

After a while.

Another bid has been placed.

The chilling voice sent a shiver down the spines of many present.

"130 million!"

The bidder was Katakuri, one of the four Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates, a man known as the "perfect man".

He was rhythmically tossing a small candy bean in his hand.

The blood-red pupils sent chills down one's spine.

The six-meter-tall figure crossed his legs, leaving a large empty space around him.

Perospero, standing next to him, excitedly stuck out his long, snake-like tongue and whispered to Katakuri, "Each faction can only successfully bid for the enhancement stone three times. If we can win the bid for this knife, that counts as four times."

120 million.

120 million.

"・・・"

"130 million!"

The price continued to soar, and before long, a Murasame with a +12 enhancement was being bid for over 3 million Berries.

Normally, the auction price of the 21 Great Swords would only be tens of millions of Berries.

And this time...

It was immediately raised to 350 million.

Moreover, this price is not the final transaction price.

There are also people vying for ownership of this weapon.

Chapter 90 Auction of Enhanced 12 Artificial Devil Fruits

Seeing the price continue to rise, Doflamingo's lips curled into a slightly excited smile.

"I'll offer 5 million!!"

"Hey...is this insane? A knife is being bid 5 million? Even a supreme great knife wouldn't fetch such a price!" a man dressed in noble attire exclaimed in shock.

He looks to be in his forties or fifties.

Although only one or two supreme-grade swords have been sold over the years, none have ever fetched such a high price as 5 million.

If Hill knew, I wonder if he would take out the +12 "Senbonzakura" and see how much it's worth.

But this price still hasn't reached its limit.

“550 million!” Katakuli’s voice was very penetrating.

They immediately raised the price by 5 million Berries.

Vista, the flower swordsman in the distance, shook his head at Marco and said, "Marco, forget it, the enhancement stone is more important. If we win the bid for the enhancement stone, we can enhance Dad's Cloud Cutter."

Marco looked at Vista, his face apologetic, and said, "I'm sorry..."

"fine."

Vista the foil chuckled, "Even if I were to film it, I might not be comfortable with it. That sword is a cursed blade!"

That's right.

Murasame is a perfectly normal name, but it is indeed a demonic sword.

Marco, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' First Division, withdrew from the bidding.

Such a high price has deterred many people, and most people are focusing their attention on the enhancement stones that will be used later.

"550 million once!"

Doflamingo waited a few seconds, then glanced around the auction hall again before speaking.

"550 million twice!"

"Is there anyone offering a higher price?"

No one answered. Doflamingo picked up the small golden hammer, waited a few seconds, and then struck the small bell with it.

Ding!

"550 million Berrys for the third time! The deal is successful!"

offstage.

Immediately, members of the Donquixote Family walked onto the stage, took the Murasame from Doflamingo's hand, sheathed the sword, and presented it to Katakuri.

He didn't reach for it; instead, Perospero took the Murasame-maru in his hand, drew the sword a bit, licked his lips, and said, "It is indeed a fine sword."

After inspecting the goods, Perospero immediately had his men bring out Pele.

The transaction is complete.

Seeing this, Doflamingo's smile widened, and he announced loudly again, "Next is the second item in the auction, compared to the Twenty-One Great Swords."

"I believe that more people will be interested in it."

He placed the box he had brought earlier on the table, which aroused the curiosity of countless people at the auction.

Countless gazes converged on the box in Doflamingo's hand.

She became the focus of the entire event.

Doflamingo slowly opened the box, his smile widening as he said, "That's..."

"An artificial Devil Fruit enhanced to +12!!"

This moment.

The box was opened, revealing a shape similar to an apple, but with circular yellow circles on its surface.

The key point is that this artificial Devil Fruit has been enhanced 12 times.

Not bad.

The appearance of artificial Devil Fruits immediately shocked most of the people present.

"What?! It's an artificial Devil Fruit?! And it's been enhanced 12 times by enhancement stones! Can enhancement stones really enhance artificial Devil Fruits?!"

"Hey... I hope there won't be any problems if I eat this. Devil Fruits can give people strange abilities, but what the heck is this artificial Devil Fruit?!"

"Artificial Devil Fruits... Heh heh, what on earth is Doflamingo up to?!"

"Isn't that thing supposed to have a chance of failure? Why is it being auctioned off?"

"Interesting, they're even using artificial Devil Fruits to enhance and auction them off."

"..."

Artificial Devil Fruits are extremely unfamiliar to many people, but many others are also familiar with them.

This stuff is also very popular in the underground dark world.

While everyone was still whispering and asking about information related to artificial Devil Fruits.

Doflamingo continued, "What kind of abilities does this artificial Devil Fruit currently possess...?"

"Even I don't know for sure, but I can tell you all here that this thing has become extraordinary after being strengthened 12 times by the strengthening stone."

"Maybe you'll get nothing, or you'll gain powerful abilities. It's a high-stakes gamble, and it all depends on whether you have the guts."

"The starting bid is also 2 million pegories."

His voice was amplified through the loudspeaker, drowning out the noise.

Even Doflamingo himself didn't know what kind of abilities a +12 "artificial Devil Fruit" could possess; ordinary artificial Devil Fruits could only grant Zoan-type abilities.

Not only do they differ from normal animal lineages, but they also have a certain failure rate.

Queen Stussy of Pleasure Street frowned slightly, then joked, "I'm sure you all know about artificial Devil Fruits. I wonder if any of you are interested in bidding on this thing and seeing what kind of abilities it has?"

Beside her were several other kings of the underworld.

Morgans, president of World Economic News, laughed and said, "The fact that the enhancement stone can enhance artificial Devil Fruits might give them amazing powers. This is sure to be a big-selling news story."

He took out a camera from his clothes, ready to record the enhanced Devil Fruit at any time.

The other underworld kings exchanged glances. Deep Current Umit said somewhat unhappily, "Even a +12 artificial Devil Fruit has a starting bid of 2 million Berries."

He then snorted coldly and continued, "Even if it's a Devil Fruit, the normal starting price is only 1 million. Can this thing compare to a real Devil Fruit?"

Everyone is familiar with Devil Fruits; in fact, the president of the World Economic News Agency is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, and they control the underground world.

Various transactions.

The price of Devil Fruits is naturally well known.

With 2 million Berries, buying a Devil Fruit is definitely not a problem.

But...artificial Devil Fruits?

Funeral home tycoon Pakuro also spoke up: "At least Devil Fruits have illustrations, but we can't be sure about this..."

While it's called a funeral home business, it's actually more about dirty business like organ trafficking.

The underworld kings did not immediately make an offer for this artificial Devil Fruit, but chose to wait and see.

Inside the venue.

Yasopp glanced at the artificial Devil Fruit, showing little interest in its abilities, and smiled at Beckman beside him, saying, "So enhancement stones can enhance not only weapons, but even special things like artificial Devil Fruits."

"I wonder what effects and abilities the enhancement stone will have when applied to other items."
