Chapter 77
Vilin only knew that John seemed to have entered some place.
But he wasn't in a hurry.
Vilin was still waiting for John to help him collect more treasure!
After sighing at the other party's caution, Vilin began to wait quietly.
Half an hour later.
Vilin finally saw John walking in hugging a treasure chest.
John plopped down directly on the sofa opposite Vilin.
"Hahahahaha! Brother Vilin, sorry to keep you waiting!"
John let out a bold laugh while placing the treasure chest in front of Vilin.
Then, under Vilin's expectant gaze, John slowly opened the treasure chest.
Vilin then saw many small treasure boxes placed inside.
Vilin casually opened one of the small boxes in front of John.
He saw a Devil Fruit lying quietly inside.
There was also a small note.
Written on it: Zoan-type Cat-Cat Fruit, Model: Snow Leopard.
"Hiss~"
Vilin looked at the more than ten small boxes in the chest and couldn't help taking a deep breath.
"John, I didn't expect your collection to be this rich!"
Vilin said with some admiration.
John naturally saw Vilin's shocked expression.
This greatly satisfied his vanity.
Vilin put the fruit and note back into the small box.
Then he opened another box,
and inside was another Devil Fruit.
Vilin didn't take out the Devil Fruit,
but directly picked up the note and read it.
Zoan-type Cat-Cat Fruit, Model: Short-Tail Cat.
Short-Tail Cat is a type of lynx.
So, Vilin continued opening them one by one.
Zoan-type Cat-Cat Fruit, Model: Leopard Cat.
Zoan-type Elephant-Elephant Fruit, Model: White Elephant.
Zoan-type Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Sand Fox.
Zoan-type Ancient Species – Horse-Horse Fruit, Model: Megaloceros.
Zoan-type Ancient Species – Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Stegosaurus.
Zoan-type Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Sparrowhawk.
Paramecia-type Nene-Nene Fruit (Telekinesis Fruit).
Paramecia-type Memory-Memory Fruit.
........
Vilin quickly looked through all the Devil Fruits.
How should he put it,
he was quite interested in some of them.
Especially some Zoan fruits that looked good on the outside.
What interested Vilin the most were actually the Paramecia-type Nene-Nene Fruit and Memory-Memory Fruit.
From Vilin's understanding of Devil Fruits,
the Nene-Nene Fruit's ability should be telekinesis.
But Vilin didn't linger on it for long.
He wouldn't be a sucker.
Revealing your preferences during a trade is a big taboo.
"John, I've seen all the fruits!"
"You know my crew are all beautiful women."
"So I'll only choose some suitable ones."
Vilin put all the Devil Fruits back into the box, casually adding an unremarkable seed into it.
Then he looked at John and slowly said:
"Sure, business is business!"
"It's all about mutual consent."
John looked at Vilin's expressionless eyes with a smile.
This made him feel how difficult Vilin was to deal with.
"Since you've shown so much sincerity, naturally I should show some too."
"After you see the treasure I have, we can discuss the price of the Devil Fruits, how about it?"
"Hehe, of course no problem."
"Do you want me to have someone escort it over for you?"
John asked with concern.
"No need, I carry it with me."
With that, Vilin took out a treasure chest 2 meters long and 1 meter wide from his body, placed it in front of John,
and opened it with a smile.
As the treasure chest opened,
in an instant,
the entire room was illuminated as bright as day by the light emitted from various treasures.
John's eyes were directly dazzled by the blinding light and he couldn't open them fully.
Only after Vilin closed the lid of the treasure chest
did John come back to his senses,
showing a face full of intoxication.
John hurriedly sat next to Vilin,
looking at the treasures in the chest with eyes full of heat.
At this moment,
he almost wanted to rob him by force.
But thinking of Vilin's terrifying combat power,
he gave up the idea.
John opened this chest filled with all kinds of luxurious jewelry with fiery eyes.
He kept gently stroking the items inside with his palm, just like stroking a woman's smooth and delicate little hand.
After carefully observing every single treasure,
John reluctantly withdrew his hand.
"Brother Vilin, you're really lucky!"
"To actually obtain so many precious treasures, truly enviable!"
Vilin smiled slightly and casually took a sip of tea from his cup.
"Hehe, since we've both seen each other's goods, it's time to discuss a trade plan."
"So straightforward!"
John felt his teeth ache seeing Vilin's calm and unhurried appearance.
"Brother Vilin, how about five treasures for one fruit?"
"Hehe, John, let's not beat around the bush."
"You should know the value of my treasures very well."
"Each piece, if taken to auction, can sell for at least 400–500 million Berries minimum."
"Do you think any random Devil Fruit is worth 2 billion Berries?"
Seeing Vilin knew the value of these items like the back of his hand,
John also unwillingly slumped on the sofa and said weakly:
"How do you want to trade?"
"Then I'll be direct."
"One ordinary Zoan fruit for one treasure."
"Ancient species for two pieces."
"Paramecia and Ancient species same price."
As Vilin's words fell,
John was completely speechless.
He wanted to refute,
but couldn't say anything.
"Sigh~"
"Just do it your way."
Seeing John agree,
Vilin was not polite and directly took out:
Zoan-type Cat-Cat Fruit, Model: Snow Leopard.
Zoan-type Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Sand Fox.
Zoan-type Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Sparrowhawk.
Zoan-type Ancient Species – Horse-Horse Fruit, Model: Megaloceros.
Zoan-type Ancient Species – Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Stegosaurus.
Paramecia-type Nene-Nene Fruit.
Paramecia-type Memory-Memory Fruit.
from the box.
Seeing the fruits Vilin chose,
John looked for a long time but couldn't see any special pattern.
He also painfully selected eleven treasures from Vilin's treasure chest,
reluctantly withdrawing his hand from Vilin's wealth.
Seeing this, Vilin also put the fruits he selected back into his own treasure chest.
Then he directly stored the chest inside his body.
"Hehe, John, since the trade is done, I'll take my leave first."
"If you get any more good stuff in the future, we can continue trading."
With that, Vilin directly walked back the way he came.
After seeing Vilin leave,
John finally turned his gaze to the treasure in front of him.
After Vilin returned to the Aitrias Pirates' residence,
he quickly gathered all the crew members.
Seeing everyone had arrived,
Vilin placed all the Devil Fruits he traded for on the table.
Letting those crew members who hadn't gotten a Devil Fruit yet pick.
As for the two Paramecia fruits, Vilin had already decided who to give them to.
He planned to give the Memory-Memory Fruit to Aurora,
and the Nene-Nene Fruit he planned to give to Otohime, who was born with extremely strong Observation Haki.
As for whether the other party wanted to eat it or not, that wasn't something Vilin could control.
If she didn't eat it, he would keep it for his own children.
No one knew Vilin's inner thoughts, of course.
At this moment, Shakky stood beside Vilin,
her eyes fixed unblinkingly on the Dragon-Dragon Fruit placed in the center.
Vilin saw this and had no choice but to turn her head back around.
