Chapter 343
For them, who walk on the edge of knives and guns, they knew very well how useful the Holy Healing Shell was.
In short, this is a life-saving treasure. If you have a Holy Healing Shell on you, it's equivalent to having a second life.
How much is this second life worth? Everyone has a different answer in their heart.
The host also spent a lot of blood, but seeing the response was even better than the Holy Light Shell, his hanging heart finally settled. Then, it was time for the harvest.
"I believe all friends have already seen the magical effect of the Holy Healing Shell, so I won't talk nonsense."
"The starting price for one Holy Healing Shell is... 5 million Berries!"
"8 million!!!"
"10 million!!!"
As the guests kept raising their paddles, the price of the Holy Healing Shell also rose all the way, finally selling for 35 million Berries, which was 7 times the starting price. Dragon's mouth was almost crooked from smiling.
Karl also fell into deep thought upon seeing this. It seems the price of the Holy Healing Shell will have to be artificially intervened in the future. This kind of thing must absolutely not appear in large quantities on the sea.
Anyway, the production of this thing is determined by him. In short, the price of the Holy Healing Shell cannot be unattainable, nor can it be too easy to buy.
Sigh, if only there was Old Huang in this world, at least he could learn from him how to play with monkeys.
Soon, Holy Healing Shells were brought out one by one for auction. The last Holy Healing Shell sold for nearly 100 million. The total auction price of 9 Holy Healing Shells was nearly 600 million Berries!
From this auction, one problem can be clearly seen, and that is that Karl's Holy Light Shells and Holy Healing Shells were sold too cheaply, almost equivalent to sending money to the Revolutionary Army.
But Karl is not a person who suffers losses. Raising prices is definitely going to happen, but not now. Things sold at auctions have premiums; it's not the real price of the Holy Light Shell and Holy Healing Shell.
After a while, when the reputation of the Holy Light Shell and Holy Healing Shell is established and the price enters a stable period, that will be the good time to raise prices.
At this stage, earning a little less doesn't matter. Anyway, Karl is not short of money. Just the Berries exchanged in the City of Gold are enough for Hancock to rebuild several Amazon Lilys.
"I'm very sorry, the Holy Healing Shells have been sold out. Friends who didn't bid don't have to be discouraged. Keep an eye on our auction house's news. Once Holy Light Shells and Holy Healing Shells appear again, we will definitely notify everyone immediately!"
"Next, please welcome our finale treasure to the stage!!!"
Two etiquette ladies solemnly held a box and walked onto the stage, handing the finale item to the host. The host smiled slightly and pulled off the red cloth, revealing the true face of the finale item.
The surrounding screens also displayed the image, allowing guests to clearly see the auction item.
This was a Devil Fruit that was red all over. It looked like a tomato overall, except it was covered with yellow circular spots. It wasn't clear what the specific ability was, but it looked like it should be a Paramecia.
"It really is a Devil Fruit!"
The host picked up the microphone and said passionately: "That's right, this is something our auction house found on an uninhabited island after great difficulty. After identification, it is a Paramecia Devil Fruit."
"Its full name is the Heat-Heat Fruit. As the name implies, its ability is to create high temperatures. According to the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia."
"The previous owner of the Heat-Heat Fruit was a powerful pirate who dominated the sea. He could heat himself at will, changing his body temperature, ranging from one degree to ten thousand degrees!"
"Therefore, as long as you eat the Heat-Heat Fruit, you won't fear the cold, won't fear high temperatures, and can even stand in magma as if soaking in a hot spring!"
"So, this is a Devil Fruit with visible potential. The power it brings you can completely offset the disadvantage of becoming a hammer in the sea. Action is better than heart!"
"The starting price for the Heat-Heat Fruit is... 100 million Berries!!!"
Heat-Heat Fruit? Karl frowned slightly. He seemed to have seen this ability somewhere. Hmm, he remembered now. Xia Luote Oven of the Xia Luote family seemed to have this ability too, but his Heat-Heat Fruit seemed a bit different from this one.
According to intelligence, Oven's heat can be transferred to any object he touches, causing the object to heat up instantly. He can also make himself hot, thereby burning anyone who touches him, and can even transfer heat to most parts of the sea, causing the sea to boil, thereby causing a large number of marine creatures to be boiled in the sea, most ships to be damaged due to high temperatures, and can also heat targets from a distance to burn opponents.
No matter how you look at it, it seems to be a superior fruit to this Heat-Heat Fruit. But in Karl's view, the potential of this fruit is far greater than Oven's Heat-Heat Fruit.
After all, it's not like he hasn't fought Xia Luote Oven. Although this guy's ability looks very powerful, the actual temperature isn't that high. In short, the upper limit of the Heat-Heat Fruit that Oven ate is very low, far less than this Heat-Heat Fruit.
Anyway, he had never heard rumors that Oven could take a bath in magma.
This Heat-Heat Fruit is different. According to the host's description, at least it can ignore Akainu's magma. Just this point alone is already winning too much.
What is the concept of ten thousand degrees high temperature? The temperature of the sun's surface is only 6000 degrees. A high temperature of ten thousand degrees is enough to melt most substances in this world. Whatever Flame-Flame Fruit or Magma-Magma Fruit, they would melt after one look.
Thinking of this, Karl prepared to bid. No matter how you look at it, this fruit is a powerful fruit. Even if he can't eat it, it's excellent to use as an advancement material.
"Okay, guest number 132 bids 320 million Berries! Is there any higher bid?"
The host looked left and right, confirmed that no one raised their paddle, and said: "320 million Berries, going once..."
"What! Guest number 1 in the VIP box bids 500 million Berries!!! As expected of a guest in the VIP box, truly arrogant! Is there any higher price?"
"This is a very rare and powerful Devil Fruit! Everyone, don't miss it!"
"Hmph—I bid 600 million!!!"
The host's face was happy, and he said excitedly: "Guest number 15 bids 600 million Berries. Does guest number 1 want to follow?"
Karl, sitting in the box, curled his mouth slightly. Forget it, let them see today what a truly rich person is.
"My god! Guest number 1 bids 1 billion Berries, 1 billion Berries! A Logia Devil Fruit probably only costs this much! Is there any higher price?"
The guest who just bid shook his head helplessly. If he hadn't bid for a lot of Holy Healing Shells just now, he could have fought for it.
"1 billion Berries, going once, 1 billion Berries, going twice, 1 billion Berries, going three times!"
"Slap!"
"Sold!!!"
