He quickly completed the transaction, taking the silver stream of light containing the Sword Saint’s legacy from Adam’s hand.
Without any hesitation or intention of leaving, he directly sat down cross-legged under the gaze of the many powerhouses in the hall!
“What, what does he want to do!” “Could it be!” Under the astonished and uncertain gazes of Charlotte Linlin and others, the young noble held the silver stream of light with both hands and pressed it against his glabella!
“Buzz!” The Legacy Seed was instantly activated, transforming into an intensely brilliant silver pillar of light that completely enveloped the young man!
A vast, ancient, and extremely sharp sword intent surged skyward from his body!
The entire auction hall seemed to transform into a domain of swords, with invisible sword qi permeating the air, cutting through everyone’s perception!
The mysterious young man’s figure blurred within the pillar of light.
Only his body could be seen trembling slightly, as if enduring a tremendous impact, but his aura was rapidly escalating and transforming at a visible speed!
It was a fundamental leap!
From his original obscure and ordinary aura, it quickly became sharp, aloof, and unfathomable!
A powerful pressure, comparable to that of an Admiral or a Four Emperors, began to slowly spread!
“He, he actually used it on the spot!” Akainu exclaimed in shock.
“Bastard!
How dare he!” Charlotte Linlin was both surprised and enraged, but she didn’t dare to actually make a move.
The auction house’s no-fighting rule hung over them like the Sword of Damocles.
More importantly, the sword intent emanating from the legacy light pillar made even her feel a strong threat!
After just ten-odd breaths, the silver pillar of light suddenly receded, completely submerging into the mysterious young man’s body.
He slowly opened his eyes, and countless sword shadows seemed to be born and extinguished within them, finally settling into an unfathomable calm.
He slowly stood up.
His originally ordinary figure now resembled a divine sword drawn from its sheath.
Simply standing there made people’s skin tingle!
He succeeded!
Under the watchful eyes of all, in an instant, he inherited the lifelong cultivation of an otherworldly Sword Saint, leaping to become a Great Swordsman standing at the pinnacle of this sea!
The mysterious young man’s gaze calmly swept over Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, who were full of killing intent, as well as the solemn Marine and Four Emperors, a faint curve seemingly appearing at the corner of his lips.
He now possessed sufficient strength, and with the auction house’s rules protecting him, he no longer feared the impending storm.
The atmosphere in the hall dropped to freezing point as the mysterious young man completed his legacy and his aura transformed.
The factions that failed to win any items had increasingly grim expressions.
Doflamingo’s veins throbbed on his forehead, and the threads in his palm almost uncontrollably shot out.
He came with great anticipation but couldn’t acquire a single item.
Especially the final curse removal talisman and the Sword Saint’s legacy—each one made him drool, yet he missed them all!
This feeling of entering a treasure mountain empty-handed almost drove him mad.
“Fufufufu!” He let out a low, twisted laugh, then suddenly looked up at Adam on the auction stage, his tone filled with uncontrollable impatience and a hint of subtle flattery.
“Mr.
Adam, the auction items this time were truly eye-opening.
I wonder, when and where will the next auction be held?” This question, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirred up a thousand ripples!
All the factions, who had been immersed in annoyance, unwillingness, or secretly plotting how to seize items, suddenly snapped back to attention!
That’s right!
If they missed this time, there would be a next time!
If this batch of seven treasures was already so astonishing, how heaven-defying would the next auction items be?
In an instant, all eyes once again focused on Adam, filled with unprecedented fervor and anticipation.
Even the mysterious young man who had just received the legacy slightly turned his head, clearly very interested in this.
Kaido roared crudely, “Brat, speak!
When is the next time!” He was already planning that after returning, he would scour every inch of the land to raise enough funds to crush everyone else!
Charlotte Linlin’s eyes gleamed with greed: “Next time, this old hag will get all the good stuff!” Akainu, Staff Officer Tsuru, and other high-ranking Marine officials, as well as members of CP0, though their expressions remained solemn, also had a burning determination in their eyes.
Having been unprepared this time, they had to report this matter immediately.
Next time, the World Government must be fully prepared and mobilize terrifying funds capable of dominating the auction!
Whitebeard and Red Hair also looked at Adam, clearly interested in the next auction.
Facing the fervent gazes of the entire hall, Adam still wore his calm and mysterious smile.
He gently shook his head, his voice clearly echoing through the hall: “Regarding the time of the next auction…” He deliberately paused, keeping everyone in suspense, before slowly saying, “It’s not fixed.
Perhaps a month later, perhaps half a year later, or even longer.
The specific time is uncertain.” “Uncertain?” “How can this be!” Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stirred, their faces revealing expressions of disappointment and anxiety.
An uncertain time meant they couldn’t make precise arrangements in advance, filled with unpredictability.
“However,” Adam changed the subject, once again raising everyone’s spirits, “before the next auction officially begins, this establishment will randomly distribute fifty ‘invitation letters’ to various parts of the world.” “Fifty invitation letters?” Everyone held their breath.
“Exactly.” Adam affirmed, “Only those holding an invitation letter will be eligible to receive notifications from this establishment and, with the invitation letter, board this Myriad Realms Auction House.” “As for how the invitation letters will appear…” “They will randomly appear in any corner of the world.
Perhaps on the beach of a deserted island, perhaps hidden in a deep-sea trench, or perhaps drifting with a merchant ship, or even quietly appearing by a lucky person’s bedside.” “Whether you can obtain one depends entirely on your luck and destiny.” As Adam’s words fell, the entire auction hall first fell silent, and then a more subtle and intense undercurrent surged in everyone’s hearts.
Fifty invitation letters!
Random appearance!
This meant that the entry tickets to the next auction themselves would become the target of frantic competition among various forces across the sea!
It was foreseeable what kind of bloody storm these fifty small invitation letters would stir up throughout the world in the near future!
Almost all faction leaders’ eyes gleamed with the same light: after returning, immediately mobilize all forces and intelligence networks to fully search for clues to the invitation letters!
The next auction must not be missed!
Just then.
“Mr.
Adam!” Charlotte Linlin was the first to speak.
“Your auction house has truly opened my eyes.
Totto Land has the sweetest desserts and the warmest welcome.
Why don’t you come visit me for a few days?
I will surely treat you with the highest hospitality!” Before her words even finished, Kaido’s thunderous voice boomed out.
“Ugororororo!
Adam, I’m very interested in your ship and the origin of these treasures!” “Come to Onigashima, there’ll be plenty of good liquor, and we can have a good chat!” Although Kaido was still violent, he also harbored a subtle, almost imperceptible intention to recruit.
Even the usually composed Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke up.
“The Marineford would also like to have an in-depth exchange with an extraordinary person like Mr.
Adam.
Perhaps we can find a common way to maintain order in the sea.” Although the words were veiled, the invitation was self-evident.
For a moment, the leaders of various factions temporarily put aside their animosity and extended olive branches to Adam.
After all, whoever could win over this mysterious and unfathomable auction house owner, who held countless treasures, would undoubtedly gain unimaginable advantages in future competitions.
Facing these overt or subtle invitations, Adam still wore his calm and mysterious smile.
He gently raised his hand, stopping more unspoken invitations with a gentle yet undeniable sense of detachment.
“Thank you all for your kind invitations.” His gaze calmly swept over Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, the Marine generals, and everyone else.
“The Myriad Realms Auction House is merely a platform for treasure transactions.
I am accustomed to being a free spirit and currently have no plans to visit any party as a guest.” He paused, his tone carrying a faint yet firm meaning, clearly drawing a line.
“I am only responsible for providing rare treasures from all worlds.
As for who ultimately acquires the treasures, and what you do with them, it has nothing to do with me or the auction house.
We do not interfere in any factional disputes.” These words were like cool spring water, instantly extinguishing some not-so-friendly thoughts that had just ignited in certain people’s minds.
Such as forced “invitations” or even more extreme control methods.
Everyone immediately realized that confronting this seemingly amiable auctioneer not only meant losing the opportunity to acquire supreme treasures in the future but also potentially facing a terrifying enemy whose strength was comparable to a Four Emperors at their peak and whose methods were bizarre.
This would absolutely be a foolish and unprofitable endeavor.
Greed, after all, was suppressed by reason and more far-reaching calculations.
Kaido snorted coldly, crossing his arms without speaking, but the fanaticism in his eyes slightly receded.
Charlotte Linlin pouted, a hint of unwillingness flashing across her plump face, but she no longer insisted.
The Marine generals exchanged glances, and Staff Officer Tsuru nodded slightly, signaling to maintain observation for now.
Doflamingo chuckled, seemingly plotting something, but he too had clearly abandoned some dangerous ideas.
The atmosphere in the hall quickly shifted from the previous scramble for invitations to a delicate balance and anticipation for the future.
Adam took in everyone’s reactions, smiled slightly, knowing his goal had been achieved.
He said no more, announcing loudly: “Then, I declare that this auction of the Myriad Realms Auction House has come to a successful conclusion!” “Thank you all for participating.
I look forward to meeting those with destiny again next time.” A world-sweeping storm had quietly begun at this moment.
And the impact of this auction had only just begun to ferment.
