One Piece: Starting with the Immortal Rocks Pirates

Page 93

However, now is not the right time to test skills; let's end the trade fair first.

"Next person."

Soon, another person entered; it was the Golden Lion.

In yesterday's chaos, he managed to snatch four Devil Fruits, and Dimon gave him a bottle of wine.

"Hehehe, Dimon, are you really not going to consider joining forces with me?"

"You only managed to grab four? That's a bit surprising." Dimon crossed his legs and waved his hand. "Hurry up and get out of here, there are still quite a few people."

I'm busy with business, I don't have time for all this trivial stuff.

The Golden Lion reluctantly took the wine and left. Not long after, Dimon heard a sound coming from outside.

"Anyone who wants to drink can join my Flying Pirates, but trash need not apply!"

There seemed to be chaos outside; many pirates who hadn't gotten their hands on the wine were drawn in by Golden Lion's words.

Dimon didn't pay any attention and let the next trader in.

Another ten minutes passed.

The last person to enter was wearing a gray cloak and a mask that covered his entire face.

Dimon narrowed his eyes slightly. He recognized the other person: White Shadow, the captain of the Navy's Sharp Blade Squad.

The navy sneaked in to exchange wine. They clearly had their own way of contacting people during the Warring States period, so why did they do this?

But then I thought about it again. The deal between Sengoku and him was a secret known only to a few people. This should not be the Navy's idea, but rather an order from the World Government.

"People from the government?"

Major General Bai Ying had barely sat down when Dimon's words nearly made him turn and run away.

Only after confirming that Dimon had no intention of making a move did he suppress his shock.

Dimon chuckled and said, "No need to be nervous. As long as you bring the Devil Fruit, it doesn't matter to me who the trading partner is."

"I brought four Devil Fruits with me."

The white figure did not reveal its identity.

He had no idea that the person in front of him was Yamamoto Genryusai, with whom he had spoken two days ago.

"Just one bottle?" Dimon said with a half-smile. "When you get back, please tell the Five Elders that if they want more wine, I'm always happy to oblige."

"I am not a member of the World Government!"

Bai Ying tried to save face, but he didn't know how Dimon had figured it out, and admitting it was impossible for him to.

“You’re really boring…” Dimon shook his head and conjured a bottle of elixir of immortality, handing it to the other person.

Bai Ying didn't dare linger. She hid the wine inside her cloak and got up to leave.

He only breathed a slight sigh of relief after he stepped out of the hotel.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous when facing someone who could crush me at any moment, especially since we were on opposing sides.

This mission was almost a gamble with our lives.

Dimon was somewhat surprised that he didn't take action against him after Dimon guessed his identity.

"Now comes the important part: we must safely bring the wine back to the holy land...!"

Bai Ying glanced at the pirates outside the door. He was the last trader, but a large number of pirates were still gathered at the door.

These people don't have Devil Fruits; they're just waiting for an opportunity.

If you can't steal a Devil Fruit, you can steal alcohol!

He walked along the wall without making a sound, and seeing his furtive appearance, many pirates immediately set their sights on him and silently followed behind.

It wasn't until they turned into a small alley that the pirates couldn't resist making their move.

Someone suddenly tackled him to the ground, but when they lifted the cloak, they found that he was just a paper figure.

"Damn it, it's an ability user!"

"This guy definitely has extra alcohol, find it!"

Beehive Island has once again descended into chaos.

Inside the hotel, Abel approached Dimon and reported:

"Lord Dimon, all transactions have been completed."

"Thank you for your hard work, this was a good day."

Dimon nodded and took stock of the spoils.

He couldn't even be bothered to count how many bottles of the Elixir of Immortality he had traded away.

But he was quite satisfied with the remaining points displayed on the panel.

[Demon Points]: 4500

Including the 4000 points he spent on unlocking skills, he earned over 6,000 points at this trade fair!

If we convert that to Devil Fruits, he must have consumed at least forty.

Indeed, the power of the masses is the greatest!

It's worth noting that the number of Devil Fruit users who have appeared in the One Piece storyline is only a little over one hundred.

This kind of trade fair must be held a second time.

There will probably be even more next time, since this time the time was very short and many people didn't have time to reach Beehive Island.

At this moment, Abel heard the commotion outside and frowned, saying:

"Lord Dimon, it seems like there's been another fight outside."

"Never mind, let me take you home first."

Dimon snapped his fingers, and a magic circle appeared on the floor, sending Abel back to Wano Country.

Then, on a whim, he transformed into a demon and flew out of Beehive Island.

After flying for half an hour, they arrived at the Calm Belt, where their Observation Haki detected some hidden presences beneath the sea surface.

They're all sea kings!

"Creating little devils requires souls... I'll use you as an example."

Dimon unleashed a punch from afar, instantly shattering the tranquil sea into a massive wave, followed by sea monsters emerging from the ocean floor.

The sheer number of them would absolutely make most people's scalp tingle.

Dimon couldn't help but recall the scene when he first traveled through time, rowing with Kaido into the Calm Belt to hunt Sea Kings.

"time flies……"

With a sigh, Dimon swooped down, landing on a sea king and then punching it away.

The hundreds-of-meters-long object detached from the sea surface, flew a distance, and then crashed down heavily, creating towering waves.

The screams aroused the ferocity of the other sea kings, who roared and launched an attack on Dimon.

Minutes later, all of the dozen or so sea monsters floated on the surface of the sea, all unconscious.

Dimon spotted one of them and reached out to press its head down.

"Demon creation!"

In an instant, a jet-black demonic power was released from his palm, enveloping the entire sea king.

According to Dimon's will, its size became even larger.

As the darkness faded, the reappearing Sea Kings were covered in jet-black spiral patterns, somewhat similar to those on the skin of Devil Fruits.

Following the same method, Dimon transformed the remaining dozen or so sea kings into lesser demons one by one.

Soon after, more than a dozen demonic sea kings were born, their enormous eyes staring at the demons standing in mid-air.

In their minds, this is their master, their creator.

"Go, go hunt the undead!"

At a command, these demonic sea monsters plunged into the seabed, heading in droves towards the New World waters.

"I don't know how good its combat ability is, but it seems that its intelligence is no different from before the transformation, still at the level of a Sea King."

Dimon seemed lost in thought.

This skill is more convenient than the Elixir of Immortality, as it doesn't require the target to drink the Elixir of Immortality and become immortal; it can forcibly transform the target into a lesser demon.

Imp is also immortal, but he doesn't have the power to stay young.

And they can also be devoured by him and turned into his nourishment.

"Since it works with sea kings, let's try it with a human next..."

Chapter 114 Stubborn Saki Arrives in Dressrosa

The Demon Creation and the Elixir of Immortality are two techniques, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

The former's biggest advantage is that it doesn't consume demon points, but rather his own demon power. However, its disadvantage is that it is immortal, but not ageless.

If you want to acquire a lot of Demon Points in the future, trading for Elixir of Immortality is a better option.

After all, alcohol is a necessity for pirates, and the power of immortality packaged as alcohol is something most people can accept.

On the contrary, the idea that demons create others and turn them into lesser demons doesn't sound like a good thing!

"Let's find someone to try first, then go back to the hive."

Dimon snapped his fingers, and the pentagram magic circle that appeared beneath his feet quickly engulfed him.

The next moment, Beehive Island, the basement that had once summoned him.

Dimon returned to the Hive in the blink of an eye. As he stepped out of the basement, his appearance had aged, and he once again became the "Centenarian Swordsman" Yamamoto Genryusai.

"Speaking of which, have I forgotten something?"

Dimon frowned, suddenly remembering Saki.

This guy tried to snatch Devil Fruits these past few days, but failed? And at the previous trade fair, no one asked him to trade for alcohol.

He immediately used his Observation Haki to probe Crocodile's presence on the island, and quickly detected it.

Judging from the strength of the aura, the injury seems to be quite serious, and there are other people around.

Having locked onto the location, Dimon immediately headed towards the target.

"Hand over the wine, kid!"

"I don't have any alcohol..."

Crocodile's face darkened as he looked at the three bounty hunters surrounding him.

These past two days he's been trying to steal Devil Fruits, but the pirates he's encountered either don't have any or have already had them stolen.

However, he couldn't defeat the pirates who possessed Devil Fruits.

So, the situation reached a stalemate.

This place feels like everyone has Armament Haki, and the advantage of Logia-type Devil Fruit users seems to disappear.

The same applies to these three people in front of us.

They weren't pirates, they were bounty hunters.

The leader, sporting a pompadour, immediately smirked upon hearing Crocodile's reply:

"Stop lying! Someone saw you with that centenarian swordsman. With that old guy's strength, he definitely managed to steal a Devil Fruit!"

"Hand it over. Devil Fruits or the Elixir of Immortality are both fine, you must have them, right?"

"Otherwise, the three of us brothers will have no choice but to capture you and hand you over to the navy for the bounty!"

I want to drink it myself!

Crocodile sneered, "Looks like you all want to die! Desert Blade!"

Too lazy to waste words with these three, he turned his right hand into quicksand and swung it forward.
