His voice clearly entered everyone’s souls, “The Holy Spirit Sword Technique Inheritance Seed!” “This is not a text-recorded classic, but originates from a high-level world where martial arts reach godhood—Wind and Cloud!” “It is the sole inheritance seed, condensed by the supreme being known as’Sword Saint’ in that world—Dugu Jian—at the end of his life, containing all his lifelong insights, experiences, and even a portion of his soul imprint into the way of the sword!” “This is a one-time inheritance item!” Adam’s voice suddenly rose, carrying an earth-shattering power, “The recipient only needs to integrate their spiritual power into it to activate the Sword Seed and inherit all of Dugu Jian’s swordsmanship cultivation!” “As well as the three strongest sword techniques: ‘Twenty-Three Swords of Sentient Heaven and Earth,’ ‘Twenty-Three Swords of Heaven-Slaying Earth-Exterminating,’ and ‘Twenty-Three Swords of Six Extinctions and No Self.'” Adam paused again, “The inheritance process is completed in an instant.
The recipient will immediately possess’Sword Saint’-level swordsmanship realm and power, comparable to the peak Admirals on this sea!” “Starting bid—2 billion Berries!
Each bid increment must not be less than 100 million Berries!” Adam’s gaze was like two cold bolts of lightning: “Bidding…
begins!” “3 billion!” Hawkeye Mihawk spoke almost instantly, raising the bid directly by a billion!
His voice was no longer cold, but carried a scorching, resolute intensity, like before a volcanic eruption!
For him, this was the only opportunity to transcend the current world’s swordsmanship limits and enter a new realm!
Its significance surpassed everything!
“3.2 billion!” Charlotte Linlin’s scream tore through the air!
She didn’t care about swordsmanship; she cared about instantly creating a top-tier combatant comparable to an Admiral!
This could allow her Totto Land’s strength to completely overwhelm other Emperor crews!
“3.5 billion!” Akainu roared.
The Marine absolutely could not tolerate such a dangerous combatant falling into the hands of pirates unchecked.
It had to be controlled by them or utterly destroyed!
The price soared at an astonishing rate, instantly breaking the 4 billion Berries mark.
Doflamingo’s face was pale; his financial power seemed so insignificant at this moment that he could only watch this battle of gods with reluctance.
However, at this level, even the Four Emperors and the Marine felt immense pressure.
Almost simultaneously, the major powers began tense internal communication and exchanges of interests.
Hawkeye Mihawk unhesitatingly looked at Red-Haired Shanks and Whitebeard Edward Newgate.
His voice was low and swift: “Shanks, Newgate, my funds are insufficient.
This item is crucial to me.
If you help me, I, Dracule Mihawk, will owe you a massive favor for this life.
In the future, whatever you need, wherever my sword points, I will never refuse!” Red Hair and Whitebeard exchanged glances.
Red Hair laughed heartily: “We’ll accept this favor!” He was already friends with Hawkeye, and helping him secure it was far more to his liking than letting other Four Emperors or the Marine obtain it.
Whitebeard nodded grandly: “Gurarahaha!
Good, Hawkeye, I’m rooting for you too!
Take all the remaining Berries!” Their two factions instantly transferred the enormous funds remaining after bidding on the Spring of Life and the limb regeneration pill to Hawkeye.
The numbers on Hawkeye’s asset screen surged wildly.
He said little, merely nodding in the direction of Red Hair and Whitebeard.
On the other side, Charlotte Linlin growled at Kaido: “Kaido!
Quick!
Give all your Berries to me!
We must get this Sword Seed.
Afterwards, we can share the rights to use the inheritor!” Red light flickered in Kaido’s eyes as he weighed the pros and cons, finally roaring: “Ugorororo!
Good!
Linlin, remember your promise!” The Beasts Pirates’ funds were also entirely transferred to Charlotte Linlin’s account.
At the Marine seats, Akainu, Staff Officer Tsuru, and the CP0 representative whispered rapidly.
Staff Officer Tsuru decisively said: “We must unite!
All funds will be combined, and I will bid.
We absolutely cannot let pirates get their hands on it!” However, just as this three-way alliance was forming and the bid surpassed 5 billion, an unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out, with an indifferent calm: “5.2 billion.” Everyone looked on in shock, only to see a previously inconspicuous young man in noble attire, sitting in the rear side of the hall, slowly raise his hand.
On his asset verification screen, this breathtaking astronomical figure clearly flickered!
This person actually possessed such terrifying financial power!
“5.5 billion!” Charlotte Linlin screamed; her and Kaido’s alliance funds were also nearing their limit.
“5.8 billion!” Staff Officer Tsuru, representing the combined Marine and World Government, gritted her teeth and followed suit.
“5.82 billion!” Hawkeye Mihawk’s voice was slightly hoarse; Red Hair and Whitebeard’s support was not infinite either.
“10 billion.” The Noble Youth spoke again, his tone as calm as if he were merely stating a simple number.
This price, like a heavy hammer, struck hard at everyone’s hearts.
Hawkeye Mihawk looked at the final figure of 5.9 billion displayed on his screen, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he reopened them, he had regained his composure, but deep in his eyes was an unconcealable regret and sharpness: “I give up.” He had been defeated by absolute financial power.
Staff Officer Tsuru and Akainu exchanged glances, their eyes filled with unwillingness and solemnity, but the 10 billion price had exceeded the limit of their combined funds.
If they had known earlier that the auctioned item was so extraordinary, they wouldn’t have brought only a portion of their Berries.
“The Marine gives up.” Staff Officer Tsuru’s voice carried a hint of regret.
The entire hall was silent; everyone looked at the mysterious Noble Youth.
“10 billion, going once!” “10 billion, going twice!” “10 billion, going thrice!” “Boom!!!” “Sold!
Congratulations to this guest for winning the Holy Spirit Sword Technique Inheritance Seed!” Adam brought down the gavel.
“Bastard!” Charlotte Linlin completely went berserk, her terrifying Conqueror’s Haki mixed with overwhelming killing intent erupting uncontrollably.
Her massive body suddenly stood up, Prometheus and Zeus encircling her, seemingly about to recklessly make a move to snatch it!
However, at the very moment her killing intent reached its peak, an invisible force, far deeper and more terrifying than her Haki, crashed down like a colossal tsunami, instantly shattering her rampant Conqueror’s Haki!
Charlotte Linlin’s enormous body suddenly stiffened, as if an invisible giant hand had pressed her back into her seat.
Prometheus and Zeus whimpered, shrinking back to her side.
She looked in horror at Adam, whose expression remained calm on the auction stage, finally recalling the implicit anti-combat rule of this place!
She forcibly suppressed the urge to act, but her surging rage had nowhere to vent, distorting her face as she stared intently at the mysterious young man who was completing the transaction with Adam, squeezing out blood-tinged words from between her teeth: “Good!
Very good!
I’ll remember you!
Once you’re off this ship, I’ll see how you die!” However, the mysterious young bidder’s next action caught everyone off guard!
