One Piece: Starting with the Immortal Rocks Pirates

Page 103

With a roar, Zephyr finally arrived in front of Damon. At that moment, he concentrated all his Armament Haki into his right fist.

A punch landed squarely on Dimon's abdomen, creating a thunderous explosion that sent shockwaves radiating outwards in a spherical pattern.

The warship capsized instantly due to the massive impact, accelerating its sinking.

The sea surface also formed a hemispherical indentation, which continued to grow larger.

A solid punch, it felt like it hit a physical object!

However, Zephyr's expression stiffened.

Dimon's left hand blocked his abdomen, catching his full-force attack.

"Unfortunately, my Armament Haki is superior to yours."

Dimon gripped Zephyr's fist tightly, slowly raising his right hand. Armament Haki rapidly gathered in his fist, making it resemble a red sun, emitting dazzling light.

"You're probably learning my limit-breaking technique, aren't you? It's a pity you've only grasped the basics. This is true Armament Haki for breaking through limits..."

"Super Destructive Fist!"

A punch landed squarely on Zefa's chest, a punch as red as the sun, yet it felt as if it had shattered a block of tofu.

Zephyr coughed up blood. He channeled his Armament Haki into his fist, having no strength left to protect his body.

The energy invaded the body and then exploded violently.

Zefa had a bloody hole in his chest, his internal organs were smashed to dust by a single punch, and his upper and lower body were almost only held together by a few patches of skin.

Garp noticed what was happening and his expression was one of utter shock.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a technique of using Armament Haki. Internal sabotage?

No, it's not at the level of internal damage; it has to be above that!

Before technique, the level of Armament Haki is on a completely different level!

In Loguetown, Zephyr was instantly killed by his opponent. Since he wasn't there, he couldn't directly assess Damon's strength.

Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, Garp has to admit that it is a monster!

Dimon released his grip, and Zephyr, who had been instantly defeated by him once again, slowly plummeted towards the sea.

There's still room for growth. This time, Zephyr is stronger than he was in Loguetown.

Let's raise him a little longer; maybe we can give him some surprises next time.

Turning to look at Roger, who was fighting Garp, Roger interrupted him before he could say anything.

"Don't you dare interfere, this is my fight!"

Roger laughed and glanced at the sunken warship. "You've lost your foothold, Garp. This time it's my turn!"

Damon didn't care; Karp wasn't immortal, so he wasn't interested.

"Quickly resolve this, Napa."

Roger paused for a moment, then ignored him and focused all his attention on fighting Garp.

He used to be chased all over the world by the other party, but now it's his turn.

Faced with the loss of foothold in the air battle, Garp found himself in a disadvantageous situation. The two fought their way from the sky into the sea, and then fought their way back into the sky from the sea.

Roger held an absolute advantage and, being immortal, fought without any restraint.

Garp, however, was accumulating injuries, and the longer the fight went on, the smaller his chances of winning became.

The two fought fiercely for several hours, but Roger suddenly stopped. He looked at Garp, whose body was half-submerged in the sea, and slowly said:

"It's no fun to bully people too much, Garp. Stop chasing me. You're no match for me anymore."

“Roger…!” Garp’s expression turned serious; an immortal body was truly troublesome.

"Goodbye, Garp!"

Roger left with a message and flew away with Dimon.

As the two figures gradually disappeared from sight, Garp couldn't help but clench his fists.

Having gained immortality, Roger was stronger than before.

Zephyr's Haki improved after drinking alcohol, and so did Sengoku, Ku, and others.

"The Elixir of Immortality..."

He recalled that several years ago, he was summoned to the marshal's office by the air force, and Sengoku was also present.

The two men offered him a drink, but he refused.

Garp doesn't care about immortality, but there are things he does care about.

His former evenly matched opponent has now surpassed him, leaving Garp with mixed feelings.

"I bet Karp is regretting it now."

Dimon laughed. "There was once a cup of immortality placed before him, but he didn't cherish it."

He paused, then said, "You said that on purpose just now, hoping to get him to drink and become immortal, right?"

"You saw through me?" Roger's lips curled into a slight smile. "He's no match for me right now, it's not very interesting. But if he drinks, he'll become even stronger, I'm already looking forward to it!"

Dimon thought to himself, "If he drinks, he's a good leek to be harvested; if he doesn't drink, he's not even worth killing."

If Garp really doesn't want to drink, that's fine too; turning people into his own family is the same thing.

"Let's go to Fishman Island."

The two quickly caught up with Tom and then arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.

After completing the coating process on the island, the three sailed away into the deep sea.

With locals guiding them, they encountered no major hardships along the way, unlike the Straw Hat Pirates, who seemed to run into trouble wherever they went.

The ship successfully reached a depth of 10,000 meters, where Fishman Island was located in a large hole beneath the Red Map Continent.

The Sun Tree Eve absorbs sunlight on land and then releases it from its roots, illuminating the underwater Fishman Island like a paradise.

The magnificent islands float in the sea, and anyone who sees them for the first time will be amazed.

The entire island is enveloped in a giant bubble, which is divided into sky, land and sea.

Instead of rushing through the bubble, Dimon took the proper route to enter the country.

At the immigration bureau, I was stopped by a group of fishermen.

"Who are you!"

A blue, chubby fishman, clad in armor, blocked the way in front of the ship.

On the deck, Dimon raised his eyebrows.

Isn't this Jinbe?

Chapter 127 The Great Knight of the Sea, Neptune

Jinbe in his youth doesn't look much different from how we remember him.

With that distinctive blue chubby face, Dimon recognized the other party at a glance.

He spoke slowly, "Even in the underwater world, surely you wouldn't not recognize me?"

A few days ago in Loguetown, he encountered a group of pirates who wanted to steal his Gum-Gum Fruit. When he arrived at Fish-Man Island, he was stopped at the border.

Isn't his face universally recognizable?

“You are…” Jinbe observed intently, his expression gradually changing after a moment, “The brewer, Dimon!”

Actually, from the beginning, he felt that the other person looked somewhat familiar, but he wasn't sure.

Why would such a legendary brewer, such an important figure, suddenly come to Fishman Island?

His gaze shifted from Dimon to the two people beside him.

One was a horned fish-man who looked to be around forty years old, and the other...

"So you are... the Pirate King Roger?" Jinbe asked in astonishment.

Although there are some differences from the wanted poster, such as the absence of the conspicuous nose hair, the face shape is the same, and the Supreme Grade Sword worn at the waist is enough to confirm the other party's identity.

Two legendary pirates have suddenly visited Fishman Island. This is a major event and must be reported to higher authorities.

“Don’t be nervous, young merman. We’re not here to cause trouble; we’re just here to find someone.” Roger said, one hand on his hip.

Jinbe frowned and said, "In the past year, the number of pirates coming to Fishman Island has increased tenfold compared to previous years. These pirates are often restless and will kidnap the mermaids of our country... I'm sorry, I can't let you in!"

This young man has a lot of guts!

Dimon thought to himself that he could still be dutiful in front of him and Roger.

Roger laughed and said, "We've already said, we're not here to cause trouble, and we have no interest in taking away the mermaids from your island."

He paused, then asked, "Speaking of which, how is Neptune? The last time I came here, he was guarding the gate."

"Prince Neptune is well, he is..."

Jinbe opened his mouth, but stopped halfway through his sentence, seemingly finding it somewhat difficult to speak.

Seeing this, Dimon shook his head. "Never mind, you have your responsibilities, but I don't have time to waste here, so I'm sorry."

Too lazy to waste words, Dimon moved and forced his way in.

Beyond the border gates lies the world of the sea, but to him, the sea is nothing.

Armament Haki surrounded him, isolating him from the seawater. In the blink of an eye, he leaped over Jinbe and entered the interior of Fishman Island.

"Wait, brewer!" Jinbe shouted urgently, "I will speak to His Majesty the King, and he will..."

Roger laughed and interrupted, "Then go and inform them. We'll go in first."

As he spoke, he also forced his way through, following closely behind Dimon as he rushed into the country.

Tom was stunned. Those two were really something, barging into Fishman Island and leaving him on the ship.

Seeing that he couldn't catch up with Dimon and his companion, Jinbe turned around and ordered his soldiers to surround the pirate ship.

"And who are you? You're a merman, aren't you? You're the one who brought those two people here?"

Tom said helplessly, "My name is Tom, I'm a shipbuilder, I just came back to visit my brother on the way."

"Tom?" Shen Ping's expression changed slightly. "The world's number one shipwright?"

“Hahaha, I like that nickname.” Tom laughed. “Don’t worry, I’ll stay on the ship. You’d better go and inform the King as soon as possible. But don’t worry, Roger and Dummon won’t do anything rash… probably.”

In the end, he also became a little insecure.

Dimon and his companion entered Fishman Island and quickly disappeared at the border gate.

"Dimon, is this your first time here? Look up at the top."

What happened up there?

Dimon looked up at the sky over Fishman Island. It was somewhat similar to the sky on the mainland, with white clouds and blue sky, a dreamlike scene, like a fairy tale world.

“The Dragon Palace is in the sky.” Roger grinned.

Fishman Island has a double-layered, semi-circular bubble structure; simply put, it's a large bubble with a smaller bubble on top of it.

The royal palace, where the royal family resides, is located inside the small bubble above their heads.

Of course, Dimon knew about this; he thought Roger was going to say something.

Although it was my first time physically visiting the island, I wasn't entirely unfamiliar with it in spirit.

"Find people first, then explore Fishman Island."

Dimon sensed the location of the little devil Magshi and headed in the direction he knew, asking as he went:

"You just mentioned Neptune, isn't that a prince now? Who's the king?"

“His father, I think his name was Saturn,” Roger recalled for a moment, not quite sure. “The last time I came here, I heard that the old king was old and nearing the end of his life.”

Neptune, Saturn?

Dimon thought to himself, "This name has quite a cultural background."

Soon, following the directions, the two arrived at Mermaid Bay on Mermaid Island.
