Pirate: It's reasonable for me to simulate a Super Saiyan, right?

What a vicious woman!

Yang Hao wouldn't let her go if given the chance.

However, for now, the main focus is still on reconnaissance, so he completely avoided Tuya.

However, the journey to Boya Town was still not smooth.

Yang Hao was all alone, which was really eye-catching.

If he doesn't encounter bandits, he'll be fine; but if he does, he'll never have a good ending.

In addition, the wild animals in the mountains are not to be trifled with either.

Yang Hao was killed by beasts several times, even with the protection of a musket.

He simulated the process ten times before finally reaching Boya Town.

Arriving in Boya Town was not without its challenges.

Fortunately, having learned from his experience in Bowen Town, Yang Hao quickly located the black market in Boya Town and infiltrated it.

pity.

The black market here still doesn't sell Devil Fruits, not even a clue.

Yang Hao noted that the auction would be held in seven days and then returned to Bowen Town.

It's worth mentioning that Yang Hao has only been able to find two black markets so far.

There are other places too, but the nearest ones are all thousands of miles away.

If it's a long journey, Yang Hao might not even have enough money, and it would all be wasted on the road.

Helpless, Yang Hao had no choice but to settle for second best and guard the black markets in Bowen Town and Boya Town.

Having learned the dates of the two auctions, Yang Hao no longer needed to waste time in the simulator; he could simply wait until the auctions were about to take place before using the simulation system to check the situation.

The purpose of this is, of course, to save money.

Even so, after a few days, Yang Hao's Pele had decreased significantly.

In the blink of an eye, it shrank to 500,000.

Yang Hao finally started to get anxious. If things continued like this, they might run out of money and not find a single clue about the Devil Fruit.

Fortunately, when Yang Hao had 200,000 left, he finally made a discovery!

Chapter 6 Human-Human Fruit, Ape Form?

006 Human-Human Fruit, ape form?

On this day, you went to the black market to gather information, just like any other day.

Now, after a few days of familiarization, you've become a familiar face in the black market, and gathering information is no longer a difficult task for you.

Even so, you still didn't hold out much hope, thinking it would be another fruitless day.

[But just as you were thinking this, you suddenly heard some shocking news from Tuya!]

The Bowen Town black market auction is about to take place, and news is gradually spreading about what will be auctioned, including Devil Fruits!

You were shocked and immediately continued to inquire with Tuya. In order to find out more, you even had to flaunt your wealth in front of this wicked woman again.

[The result was predictable: you were killed by Tuya and her men once again, but before you died, you obtained the information you wanted.]

This auction does indeed have Devil Fruits, but they're only Zoan-type!

【you are dead. 】

[Simulation complete. This simulation did not produce any positive changes and will not be selected.]

With only 200,000 Pele left in his possession, Yang Hao finally made a discovery!

"Devil Fruit!!"

Yang Hao's eyes lit up.

In fact, he had long been prepared to spend all his money and still gain nothing.

After all, as mentioned before, Devil Fruits are something that can only be obtained by chance.

Especially since he was only in the Western Sea.

The chances of encountering a Devil Fruit in the Four Seas are definitely lower than in the Grand Line.

So when Yang Hao finally found out about Devil Fruits, he was overjoyed.

Although it's only a Zoan type.

But Yang Hao decided to seize the Devil Fruit in an instant.

Yang Hao, at this moment, has no room for being picky.

Moreover, the Zoan type isn't as bad as you might imagine.

In the early stages, Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities did indeed seem inferior to Logia and Paramecia types.

But in reality, in the later stages, it completely belongs to the Zoan type.

With this in mind, Yang Hao did not hesitate to use his last 200,000 Berries to scheme in this auction.

You attended the Bowen Town black market auction, and sure enough, you saw many more good things there, including quite a few nautical tools.

Of course, treasure maps are quite common, but whether they're real or fake is another matter.

[You're getting a little anxious because the Devil Fruit you want hasn't appeared yet, but you remain outwardly calm. Devil Fruits are such valuable items; no matter how you look at it, they're the grand prize.]

Sure enough, an hour later, as the auction drew to a close, an exquisite gold-plated box was brought out. Your spirits lifted; you had a premonition. The next moment, as the box opened, a fruit resembling a golden peach, but with spiraling patterns, was revealed before your eyes!

You're overjoyed! Your target has finally appeared. Now, all you have to do is figure out how to get it!

It's foreseeable that this will be extremely difficult.

[Next, you didn't participate in the auction; instead, you watched from the sidelines!]

The appearance of the Devil Fruit brought the entire auction to a climax. According to the auctioneer, this Devil Fruit is indeed a Zoan-type, specifically the Human-Human Fruit, in ape form. This is a Devil Fruit you've never heard of in the original work.

[But it doesn't matter, as long as it's a Devil Fruit, the auctioneer quickly set an astonishing starting price of 100 million Berries, with each bid requiring a minimum increment of 5 million!]

Even though Zoan-type Devil Fruits aren't currently favored, this Monkey-Monkey Fruit still fetched an astonishing price of 150 million!

You silently observe this process and discover that after the person wins the bid for the Devil Fruit, they cannot immediately approach it. Instead, they need to pay sufficient funds before finally obtaining the Devil Fruit from the auctioneer.

[The same applies to other auction items; it's generally a cash-on-delivery transaction.]

[Simulation complete. This simulation did not produce any positive changes and will not be selected.]

Yang Hao fell into deep thought.

He has clearly made considerable progress in this simulation.

He actually saw the Devil Fruit and confirmed that it was a Zoan-type.

Human-Human Fruit, in ape form?

Yang Hao had never heard of this fruit before.

but it does not matter.

As I said before, any Devil Fruit will do.

But this time, Yang Hao also discovered a lot of problems.

Obtaining this Devil Fruit is indeed very difficult.

He didn't have the funds, so he couldn't participate in the auction.

As for robbery, given his strength, he clearly couldn't possibly defeat the guards of the Bowen Town black market.

How to do it?

Yang Hao pondered deeply.

"Perhaps... I could pretend to bid in the auction to get closer to the Devil Fruit?"

Yang Hao understood the rules of the simulation system.

He will succeed as long as he eats the Devil Fruit during the simulation.

As for what method is used to eat the Devil Fruit, it doesn't matter.

So, perhaps he could pretend to bid for a Devil Fruit, win the bid, and thus get close to the Devil Fruit?

Yang Hao thought about it and felt that this idea still had a chance.

So he started the simulation again.

[You participated in the Bowen Town black market auction, remaining inactive throughout, but started bidding as soon as the Devil Fruit appeared!]

[Faced with bids of five million each, you immediately raised your bid to 160 million. You initially thought you'd win the auction outright, but unexpectedly, competitors appeared. However, this didn't bother you. After a round of bidding, you purchased the Devil Fruit for 180 million.]

Everyone else looked at you like you were a sucker, but you ignored them and left with the black market people.

[Upon arriving at the black market back office, just as you expected, they demanded 180 million Berries before handing over the Devil Fruit.]

You used the pre-prepared excuse, suggesting that you examine the Devil Fruit first.

But the black market dealers refused, insisting you show them your funds first. Cold sweat began to bead on your forehead…

Ultimately, you slipped up and died under a hail of blows.

007 The Five Families of the West Sea

[Simulation complete. This simulation did not produce any positive changes and will not be selected.]

Upon seeing the content of this simulation, Yang Hao couldn't help but smile wryly.

It wasn't that simple after all.

Even if he pretended to win the auction, he still wouldn't have the chance to get close to the Devil Fruit.

Or perhaps he could simply snatch it during the auction!?
