Chapter Fourteen The Flock
In just half a month, the news that Crazy Hat Town is about to auction a devil fruit has spread throughout most of the West Sea.
For a moment, pirates longing for power flocked to us.
Especially those pirate captains who are ready to enter the great channel are bound to win this.
What does a devil fruit mean?
Only these veteran pirates who are about to enter the new world can have a deep understanding.
On the other hand, the Navy branch in Xihai can naturally capture this news.
However, troop dispatch is an inevitable flaw in the Navy branch, so even if you know it, it is difficult to achieve it.
Because this place is the West Sea after all, not the great waterway.
Let’s not talk about the priorities. As one of the four seas, the intuitive sea area of the West Sea is by no means comparable to that of a great channel.
Correspondingly, this means that the Navy branch in the West Sea needs to spread the vast majority of its troops across the country to protect the safety of the people within its jurisdiction.
If the scattered troops are to be dispatched together, although there is no problem with instant messaging and other aspects, the time limit cannot keep up.
The most difficult problem still comes from the pirate's ubiquitous threat.
Unlike the navy, they need to be stationed in a place to maintain public order. Although they do not join forces, they are the same as they can freely wander around.
Seeing that it was profitable here, they pressed it hard like a bloody grasshopper.
When the navy was in place, he fled without looking back, and then went to the profitable place on the other side.
Under such a situation, rashly dispatching troops will only give those locust-like pirates the opportunity to do whatever they want.
Therefore, compared with the threat brought by individual pirates, the number of pirates in Four Seas is a problem that different from the great channel pirates.
Of course, due to various factors such as different folk customs and culture, the number of naval forces in each jurisdiction of Xihai has its own level of strength.
Eliminate some inaction naval borers. In some jurisdictions with abundant troops, the navy will coordinate the overflowing forces into a mobile unit, and their main task is to chase and suppress the fleeing pirates.
This kind of naval force that is not restricted by jurisdiction can often make the pirates frightened.
But although it is effective, it can treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
What are the essential actions of these troops alone, such as Crazy Hat Town, which have deep roots and cannot be achieved?
It's like a gun-armed sheriff breaking into the den of ten gangsters.
Due to the deterrence of guns, the ten gangsters in the nest will take the initiative to give up their number of advantages and then fall into their heads.
But if a gun-armed sheriff breaks into the den of hundreds of gangsters, the result will be self-evident.
To break this situation, unless the Navy headquarters sends a force that can break the balance.
However, the storm caused by just a devil fruit is not enough to create conditions for the Navy headquarters to make a big fuss.
Although the Xihai Navy branch was unable to strike a strong blow to Crazy Hawk Town, various eyeliners were still staring at Crazy Hawk Town.
Inability to do nothing does not mean that you do nothing
Crazy Hat Island, Crazy Hat Town, Crazy Hat Auction.
As the name suggests, the building of the auction house is like a top hat placed horizontally on the ground.
For example:
The first to second floors of the auction house are like hat brims, which covers the largest area and is also the main place for holding auctions.
In order to increase customer capacity, the design style of the auction house is generally consistent with that of the conventional opera house.
Therefore, the second layer can actually be summarized into the first layer.
The higher level reduces the area as the height is raised.
The room on the top floor of the auction house is of course the owner who controls the auction house.
As an auction house, the room decoration is magnificent, revealing the atmosphere of nouveau riche everywhere.
The wall facing the center of the street is a whole surface of coated floor-to-ceiling glass windows. In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows is a European-style hall table with a dark red tone.
Ten days later, the devil fruit that will be auctioned will be placed on the table and padded with a layer of soft cloth underneath to show the preciousness.
On the sofa chair, there was a middle-aged strong man with a greasy head, a cigar in his mouth and a red suit.
This person is Luches Ralph, the owner of the auction house.
"A single move will make the group of jackals, tigers and leopards go crazy. This is the charm of the devil fruit."
Ralph lay on his back on the sofa chair, his eyes cold and black, as if he had been stripped of human nature, and it was hard for ordinary emotions to appear.
A man sneered, "This is worth it, I have worked hard to bring the devil fruit back from the great channel. Just a single redirection can make its value soar several times. How few are this kind of good deal in the world."
Ralph covered his eyelids and looked at the man's proud face through the smoke he vomited, without saying a word to correct the man's wrong perception.
There are so many good deals in this world.
Just double the value of a demon fruit, it is more due to the effects of marketing than the transaction itself.
Ralph rubbed his fingers to wipe out the cigarette butts that were burning red with the cigar, and said lightly: "The price is 100 million yuan, and the transaction price should be up one billion yuan."
"so much?"
The man was surprised and obviously believed Ralph's judgment.
Ralph glanced at the devil fruit placed on the table and said, "The giants in the underground world of Xihai don't look down on this devil fruit, but the five major gangs are bound to win, so the only one of them who has the ability to take pictures of the fruit will be one of them. Do you know what this means?"
Without waiting for the man to answer, Ralph continued:
"It means that as long as it is a normal bid, this number will only be raised continuously until the limit they can bear. Of course, the premise is that no one secretly uses means. As for the pirates who are flocking in, they are just coming to make up the numbers and give money."
Listening to Ralph's words, the man suddenly became interested.
"Then do you think, among the five major gangs, who is the most likely to take this fruit?"
"Gang. Becky."
Sol Weapons Store.
After half a month, Mode's injuries had basically healed. In addition, he had big fish and meat every day, and there was no sign of weight loss on his face.
His face was rosy and shiny than the pale and haggardness he had when he just woke up.
Maud, who had recovered well, untied the bandage and took a special look in the mirror.
The original pathology no longer exists, replaced by a blood-filled face, and the negative effects of bandages covering the eyebrows are missing.
After looking in the mirror, Mode unexpectedly found that he was so handsome?
At the same time, he finally found a second prey neighbor.
