Rocks knew that this was a Zoan-type Mythical Zoan fruit, even rarer than the Logia type.
Rono had done a great job, and this fruit that Rocks had treasured for a long time could now be given out.
"It's actually a Mythical Zoan!"
"Azure Dragon form! If developed well, it would be stronger than even the top Logia types!"
"That's right, Captain Rocks is really generous!"
Many crew members looked enviously.
Mythical Zoan fruits are rarer than Logia types.
The Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon is one of the top-level Mythical Zoan fruits!
Eating this powerful fruit and training hard could make one a squad leader-level powerhouse!
The upper limit is comparable to that of Whitebeard, a general-level squad leader like the Golden Lion!
Originally, Vice-Captain Rono's strength was strong enough.
If he added this Azure Dragon fruit!
Oh my!
Many crew members couldn't imagine it!
"It's really enviable! Captain Rocks actually took out such a treasure as a reward."
"Indeed, the Zoan-type Mythical Zoan, Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon, is an extremely rare top fruit!"
"If developed well, the strength would be even higher!"
Even Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and John—the three squad leaders—stared straight at the fruit.
The three of them currently had no fruit, and their main fighting method was cultivating Haki.
Therefore, they had been unable to break through to the level of a general-level powerhouse.
If they could get a top-level Mythical Zoan fruit, their strength would suddenly rise to a general-level powerhouse!
"Vice-Captain Rono, I am willing to pay 1.5 billion Berries. How about selling this fruit to me?"
John spoke directly in front of everyone.
To please Rono, John specially added the honorary title of vice-captain.
After all, John's strength had almost stagnated for several years, and he had been unable to reach the threshold of a general-level powerhouse.
He was desperate for a good Devil Fruit.
"Hmph, John, you're too stingy."
"1.5 billion for a top Mythical Zoan fruit that's rarer than a Logia type? Keep dreaming!"
"I will pay 2.5 billion! Vice-Captain Rono, sell it to me!"
Silver Axe snorted coldly, sneering, and raised the price to 2.5 billion!
"2.5 billion Berries!"
The pirates who were watching were excited as the captains began to compete.
2.5 billion was already a sky-high price!
After all, an ordinary Devil Fruit is only 100 million Berries on the black market!
However, it seemed that the final transaction price might be far more than 2.5 billion!
As predicted!
"3 billion, I will pay 3 billion! Give it to me, Vice-Captain Rono!"
Wang Zhi also joined the competition!
Charlotte Linlin did not join, after all, she already had a Devil Fruit.
The Golden Lion and Whitebeard watched the bidding with great interest, enjoying the show.
After all, they were already Devil Fruit users, and their fruit abilities were not bad.
"3 billion Berries! Captain Wang Zhi is really rich!"
The onlookers sighed, seeing that each of these squad leaders was richer than the other.
After all, everyone wanted to be a squad leader.
"4 billion! I will give 4 billion!"
John was heartbroken, gritting his teeth, and raised the price to 4 billion!
After all, he had also won the Golden Lion, Wang Zhi, and Silver Axe's bets last time.
Each of them had given him 1 billion.
He made a total of 3 billion Berries that time.
"4 billion Berries!"
The eyes of the pirates who were present almost popped out!
4 billion Berries, an incredible amount!
How many years of work would it take to get to 4 billion?
Everyone cast envious eyes on Rono!
But now Vice-Captain Rono just nodded, and 4 billion Berries would be in his hands.
"4 billion Berries? Not for sale!"
In front of everyone, Rono said calmly.
It seemed that 4 billion Berries was just a small amount of money!
Everyone was shocked!
4 billion Berries not for sale? As expected of Vice-Captain Rono, he held his ground.
"You won't sell for 4 billion Berries? Vice-Captain Rono, do you want to sell for 5 billion Berries?"
"You know, the most expensive Op-Op Fruit is only 5 billion Berries!"
"No matter how powerful the Mythical Zoans are, they can't compare to the Op-Op Fruit!"
John's eyes narrowed, thinking Rono wanted to raise the price, so he tried to persuade him.
In terms of combat power bonuses, the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon was definitely more powerful than the Op-Op Fruit.
But the Op-Op Fruit had special abilities.
It could perform special operations on a person to grant immortality!
That kind of rarity was unmatched by even three Azure Dragon fruits combined.
