Undying Will 45 What A Surprise!!

Though the auction itself was hosted by criminal families, it did not deter the merchants from joyfully surveying the hall, this was because though the families spent the time leading up to the auction stealing and getting their merch in all forms of illegal ways, they conducted the auction in a very above ground and honest manner. Partly because of the different backgrounds of the people who attended and also to maintain the appeal - after all no one would attend an auction where you were guaranteed to be robbed.

Fawkes yawned behind him, using the recliner in the most apt representation of cat-like att.i.tude that Lore had ever seen. His hands played indolently at the cus.h.i.+ons and his feet tapped rhythmically on the wooden handle of the sofa.

Sorren sat to the corner, spending quality time with the turkey leg that he had looted from the family. His pudgy and greasy fingers splayed joyfully over his mouth, it would be safe to say that he was having fun.

The room which they had been given was the best that the Gambino head Armand could offer, and was not a whit less luxurious then the ones the Family heads were allowed into.

A loud gravel bang echoed through the air as the auctioneer indicated for the last of the partic.i.p.ants to hurry in so they could begin the proceedings.

With the a deep sigh and a hearty cough the Auctioneer finally began. "Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome! to the thirtieth grand auction of the northern Blues! Here you will see the grandest treasures that have graced the four seas and the most stunning of delights!

Before we begin, I must warn all the partic.i.p.ants to remember, you are not allowed to revel either your ident.i.ty or your background here within the auction halls, any such action will be immediately met with forceful removal of that individual!

The auction itself will be broken down into three sectors, the first will deal with gold, silver and jewelry, the second will deal with the obscure parts of the auction, like map fragments and unknown artifacts! the slaves will also be sold here! the final part of the auction will deal with the devil fruits and Meito! The second sector can also be dealt with, by barter.

The first sector will have treasures which all have the initial price of a 1000 belli and the increase in this quarter will be unrestricted.

The second, for those wis.h.i.+ng to use belli to trade, shall have a base price between 1000 to 5000 belli and each bid will have to be with a minimum increase of 100 belli.

The last sector will have a base price between 60000 to 80000 belli and each bid will have to be at an increment of a 1000 belli!

Now without further ado, let the first item of the first sector be brought out!" The auctioneer finished seemingly not taking a breath in between anything he was saying. He grandly motioned to the door behind the auction stage as a man and a women carted in a chest.

Both the man and the women wore skimpy clothes with the man seemingly being the type to care for both his face and his abs that would do nothing outside of an exhibition. He wore a silver designer pant and a thin translucent coat. The Women on the other hand wore a layer of fine makeup on her face that demonstrated her perfectly contoured face. She wore a silver coat and a skirt atop which resided a see through shawl.

"This chest, was retrieved from the wreckage of the ex pirate crew: 'The Jimmy fang crew' who previously held a high bounty of six hundred thousand belli! The chest is made of armistice wood which is very hardy and rare! The chest itself contains thirty talons of Silver, all from what can be a.s.sumed were the ages of the New World Age - The time the World Government had just begun its reign in!"

The auctioneer said, as he finished the introduction to the item. Almost immediately a man from the stands called out the base price of a thousand belli, before smugly looking at his small time merchant counter parts.

'one thousand ten!' a voice called from the back, before the price gradually rose to a final resting price of 2800 belli, bought by the gentleman who had begun the auction call.

"Why are these guys even spending so much for a chest of silver?" The innocent voice of Sorren called as he curiously looked over my shoulder.

"Well, though everyone here knows the value of each of these items, the true kickers are the stars of the third sector. That being the case, there is no way in h.e.l.l, that these small fries can possibly afford them, so they just spend on these things." I replied as I went back to observing, the second item had been carted in, this time a humongous ruby inlaid into a golden tiara.

The ruby itself looked quite beautiful, gleaming mischievously in the yellow lighting. It held a certain charm to the bidders, who had jumped on it, the price had already climbed to a hefty 6000 belli, before one lucky man finally got his hands on it for what seemed to be a heart wrenching 8000 belli.

A sweet whistle eked through the air as Fawkes chuckled looking at the item that had been carted in, it was one of the spoils that he had robbed from the marines, and was quite a big diamond. It had already been sold to the Gambino for a price of 12000 belli. This along with the miscellaneous other items that we had procured had given us quite a load of spending money.

With a chuckle the trio relaxed, when suddenly a dull thud sounded from the end of the room. Slowly a bloodied man walked into the room, his hands shaking and his face clouded over with the gleam of blood. Oh What a surprise!
