"No, I'm serious!"
The smile on Kai's face became even stronger. Under everyone's gaze, he slowly clenched the Konpira in his right hand.
As he looked up suddenly, his gaze locked onto Jackal.
As his five fingers clenched, Kenbunshoku Haki swept across the entire field like a tide.
At this moment, as long as they had decent strength, they felt a trace of inexplicable chill emerge from their spines.
Especially Momousagi, who was hidden in the black robe, her expression changed slightly, and the gaze she cast at Kai was full of disbelief.
Huff~ A deep breath was exhaled from Kai's mouth. The crackling lightning flowed through his body, and it reached synchronization with his breathing in an instant.
Buzz! The sound of a sword ringing suddenly burst out.
The golden lightning, like a tide, vented and passed by in the blink of an eye with a speed like thunder.
The speed was so fast that everyone only felt that the entire world was occupied by golden light.
The next moment, when they came back to their senses, Kai was still maintaining the posture of holding the hilt of the sword with his right hand.
It gave people the feeling that he had never taken action.
"What happened just now? Why hasn't he taken action yet? Continuing like this will waste everyone's time..."
"Shut up, you idiot. Take a good look first. Don't put our lives on the line!"
Urgent shouts were heard in the auction house.
Faced with the strange scene in front of them, many people's nerves tightened at once.
Their gazes turned in unison and locked onto Jackal's huge body.
Pfft! A scarlet blood arrow spurted out from Jackal's throat without warning.
It was as dazzling as fireworks.
The pair of originally tyrannical eyes were full of disbelief and fear at this moment.
He hurriedly used his remaining strength to cover his neck. Under the gaping mouth, he couldn't say a word.
When his hands touched his neck, his huge head rolled to the ground with just a touch.
Bang! The sound of a heavy object landing echoed in the silent auction house.
Watching Jackal, who had unleashed the Jackal Fruit and had a body like an iron tower, his headless corpse slammed heavily on the ground.
The sound of swallowing saliva immediately rang out in the huge field.
What's more, many people even rubbed their eyes red just to see the truth of the scene in front of them.
After all, in their eyes, they hadn't even seen how Kai had drawn his sword.
The great pirate Jackal, who had a bounty of 130 million Berries, had been killed.
"Cap...Captain!"
"Qui...Quickly, run!"
"Don't push me. My legs are a bit weak. I seemed to have said a few harsh words just now. Will he remember me..."
The scene exploded at once!
As a member of the Jackal Pirates, the great backer with a bounty of 130 million was indeed able to let them run rampant.
But watching the powerful backer couldn't withstand a single slash!
No! It should be said that they couldn't even see the slash!
The so-called confidence was simply bullshit.
"Stop, take the body away!" Kai glanced at the pirates, who were leaving by jumping out of the windows, and reminded them.
The people, who were still fleeing in panic, almost staggered and fell heavily to the ground.
Watching Kai's unquestionable expression, they shuddered and hurriedly carried Jackal's body away in a fluster.
Before leaving, they even wiped the bloodstains on the floor clean.
What's more, some people didn't know where they had found a box, put Jackal's head in it, and placed it respectfully on the side.
The attitude and expression were just like the saying that when a tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
However, during this somewhat lengthy process, no one in the huge field, even the old auctioneer on the high platform, dared to urge them in the slightest.
Having witnessed this scene, they didn't dare to act rashly, otherwise they didn't know when they would be slashed.
That would be the end of them!
"Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting!" Kai picked up the brocade box with a smile and said, "According to Jackal's own words, his head is worth at least 100 million Berries after deducting your handling fee, so it should be able to offset the price of these seastones, right?"
Faced with Jackal, who had set a flag for himself the moment before, it had now been directly fulfilled.
The old man, who was standing on the auction stage, didn't dare to act rashly either and nodded quickly and said, "Y...Yes, it can."
"However, this sir is a VIP, so I'll take the liberty to reduce the handling fee by 30%. Jackal's head is worth 110 million!"
On this sea, the matter of pirates killing each other often happened.
But the pirates, who had killed the pirates, had no way to directly receive the high bounties from the Marine Headquarters and even the World Government.
Therefore, some black traders had emerged, who would charge high handling fees to help exchange the bounties of the killed pirates.
At the same time, some powerful black merchants would even pay the bounty in advance.
"Then thank you." Kai handed the brocade box to the guard on the side and said, "Everyone's time is also precious, so let's continue!"
"Cough cough, let's continue!" The old man on the auction stage coughed quickly and said, "These seastones are 35 million. If there's no higher price, then they're sold!"
Faced with the old man's last desperate shout, the pirates, and some restless people, who were present, were completely silent.
Even the Jackal Pirates, who claimed to be related to the Four Emperors, had been forcefully killed after openly challenging them.
If someone still dared to interfere at this juncture, they would probably be met with the words, how much is your head worth!
At that time, it would be another nightmare.
"Alright, since no one is continuing to bid, this sir has won the ownership of these seastones with 35 million." Seeing that the atmosphere couldn't be eased, the old man quickly changed the topic and said, "Next, we'll continue the auction...This time's item is a walrus!"
As the guards brought the seastones over for the handover, Kai didn't care and packed them all up in a wooden box that was about a meter in size.
It wasn't that he didn't want Smoker and Ain to help, but the main thing was that they were both Devil Fruit ability users.
Once they touched seastone, they would be silenced.
After finishing all of this, Kai walked to Momousagi's side with Konpira and returned the Ō Wazamono.
"Gion, thank you for your great help!"
"You know my name?" Momousagi raised her cloak slightly, wanting to see Kai's appearance more clearly.
Taking advantage of the high ground, Kai also saw Momousagi's appearance clearly.
At the age of 25 or 26, her skin was still as white as snow, and the black mole on the corner of her mouth added a few more points of charm.
However, faced with Momousagi, who had suddenly disguised herself and appeared here, Kai seemed a bit surprised.
After all, she was a vice admiral candidate, so she should be very busy in the situation where the Marine Headquarters had suffered a loss.
Right now, she still had the leisure to run here to participate in this kind of illegal auction.
Could it be that she had come for the Devil Fruits?
