In the original timeline, Doflamingo had already made a name for himself as the Joker and was considered a figure in the underworld.
Although the Gold-Gold Fruit was used to create momentum, the title of clown also made some people behave themselves. In the end, it was Tesoro, the dark and reckless young man, who stole his fruit.
Now, the title "Joker" exists, but it doesn't literally reflect what a clown is. Few people take him seriously; most see Doflamingo as easy prey and plan to target the Devil Fruit.
It's just that some people couldn't wait any longer and acted first.
"Alright, it seems you just wanted to buy normally, but now you don't have the chance. Driven by greed, how many people will rush into this quagmire?"
Redfield remained unperturbed, and looking across the entire Sabaody Archipelago, only the retired Rayleigh and Shakky, the former Kuja Emperor, could give Redfield some trouble.
Even if the rest of them attacked together, Redfield would have to consider how much energy it would take to kill them all.
"Senior, shall we proceed now?"
"Now? Let's watch the show. It seems the person behind this auction house isn't telling the truth; he also wants to establish his authority here."
Redfield's Observation Haki was very clear, and now some people were getting restless.
"The Golden Fruit is mine now!"
"Get out of my way! That fruit is the one I've got my eye on!"
When the gunshot rang out, the master of ceremonies had already dropped the Devil Fruit and fled. Now, the fruit sits quietly on the auction stage.
Many people have already treated that fruit as their own private property, and they've started fighting over it even before they've gotten their hands on it.
Bang! Bang!
Two more muffled thuds followed, barely audible in the noisy auction hall, but these were not the sounds of guns.
Several light-ball-like objects were hanging from the roof of the auction house. At that moment, the light-balls exploded, and countless pieces of paper and ribbons fell downwards under the influence of gravity.
Swish~
Redfield opened the umbrella he had been holding all along; it was Redfield's weapon, and one could say he was the only person on the high seas who used an umbrella.
The moment Redfield opened his parachute, the ribbons and confetti in the sky began to expand, and the seemingly insignificant things turned into throwing knives and caltrops.
A shower of iron rained down on the chaotic crowd below. At the same time, a person dressed in red trousers and a cape, wearing a flamboyant hat, walked to the front of the stage and reached out to grab the floor below.
"This fruit isn't for you to fight over like this! Army Flag!"
With a flick of his hands, the flat ground surged like waves, and those who were already fighting fell to the ground, with countless short swords and caltrops crashing down on them.
Although the attack was not fatal, it left these people covered in wounds.
The newcomer was Diamante, the flag bearer who ate the Paramecia-type Flutter Fruit.
Diamanti can turn any object he touches into a cloth flag, making it as malleable as a piece of cloth.
However, this ability does not change the material of the object itself.
He can transform a huge iron ball into a light piece of cloth and hang it in mid-air, then restore it to its original state when needed, forming a simple trap.
The surging ground and the weapons falling from the sky were both Diamanti's creations.
This is also part of Doflamingo's plan: if the auction goes smoothly, he will use the Gold-Gold Fruit to create hype and make the auction famous.
If anyone causes trouble, use them to establish authority and enhance the family's reputation.
"Not bad, you can still keep your balance. Your lower body is quite stable now."
The chairs and the ground were originally one piece, but after Diamanti activated his ability, the chairs here undulated like a roller coaster, and Redfield was naturally unaffected.
After slightly adjusting my center of gravity, I was as stable as a mountain, as if I were glued to the chair.
When he saw that Tesoro could do the same thing, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
Seeing his students succeed gives him a sense of accomplishment. Redfield has been a recluse for most of his life and has never experienced many things, but he is now gradually making up for those gaps in his knowledge.
"Thanks to you, senior. Without your help and guidance, I don't think I could do this now."
Clang, clang, crackle, pop
The things on the roof, which Diamanti had prepared in advance, had mostly fallen off now, and Redfield's umbrella simply swayed slightly, creating a safe zone in the vicinity.
Not all those outside fell to Diamanti's attacks.
This is the Sabaody Archipelago. After receiving the news, some pirates from the New World also came to participate in the auction. Relying on the defense provided by Haki, they were not harmed by the rain of iron.
