One Piece: Starting with the Immortal Rocks Pirates

Page 2

Dimon: "..."

For a moment, I didn't know where to begin complaining.

After a few quick glances, the princess of the fallen kingdom looked to be just coming of age. She was pretty, but not so pretty as to be dazzling.

I'd say it's just averagely pretty.

"What's your name?"

“Great Satan, my name is Alfred Olseya, and I am 14 years old.”

The little princess's voice trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to look up when she answered.

She's only 14; I thought she was 17 or 18.

Dimon thought to himself, "The people in this world look quite mature."

"I am not Satan, my name is Dimon. Calling a demon by the wrong name will bring misfortune, remember that."

"Yes, Lord Dimon!" Orseya nodded nervously. "Lord Dimon, I am willing to give my life, only asking that you avenge my father and the 100,000 people of the nation!"

"How many of you are left?" Dimon asked curiously.

The Celestial Dragons massacre an island every three years, and when they hold a hunting competition, they also have the Navy blockade the entire island.

How did these people escape?

The old man replied angrily, "There are only thirteen left! Lord Dimon, I am the commander of the Chaoyin King's guard, my name is Locke. I led my men to fight to the death to protect Her Highness the princess and we barely managed to escape!"

"The rest of them...are all dead!"

"The navy still wouldn't let us go. We had to escape all the way to Beehive Island before we barely survived!"

"It's ironic that Beehive Island, which was once a paradise for pirates, has become a sanctuary for us, and the Navy doesn't dare to come here easily."

"Lord Dimon! Whatever your request, we will grant it, we only ask that you avenge us!"

Dimon had no interest in hearing their tragic stories. If he were invincible, he wouldn't mind helping them get revenge.

Ultimately, they were just a group of strangers to him.

He has compassion, but not much.

"There's no need for sacrifices. What strange misunderstanding do you have about demons? Demons don't eat people, at least I don't."

Dimon waved his hand and ordered, "I need a tavern, not too big. You prepare it for me."

Princess Chaoyin breathed a sigh of relief; no one wanted to die.

Old man Locke was overjoyed. He wasn't afraid of the devil making demands; he was afraid the devil wouldn't make any.

As long as we serve the devil well, revenge is possible!

"Understood, Lord Dimon, I'll go prepare immediately!"

"Your Highness, please serve Lord Dimon well."

A new bar has appeared on Beehive Island, located in a secluded corner of the island.

It wasn't that Locke didn't want to buy a big house, but that he didn't have the money.

They had been on the run for a year, and had sold all the gold and jewelry they had taken with them. Now they could only afford to buy a small house, which they temporarily converted into a bar.

As a pirate paradise, Beehive Island has many bars, and the people running these bars are all descendants of pirates.

In short, there are very few ordinary people on this island; their ancestors were all wealthy.

Besides bars, there are casinos, brothels, and all sorts of entertainment venues that pirates like.

Therefore, Dimon's little bar was completely unremarkable.

Today, noon.

The bar welcomed its first customer.

The newcomer was extremely tall, far exceeding the height of ordinary people, with a pair of white horns on his forehead, wearing a sleeveless leather jacket, and carrying a spiked mace on his shoulder.

"Does a place like this have bars?"

Kaido walked inside; the small bar had only three tables.

As soon as he entered, a young girl greeted him with a clear, melodious voice:

"Welcome, you..."

Princess Chaoyin had to look up; at 1.5 meters tall, the newcomer was practically a giant.

Fear crossed her face, and she stammered, "You...you're Kaido, a member of the Rocks Pirates!"

The island is ruled by the great pirate Rocks D. Xebec, and everyone on the island knows him and his main crew.

Of course, Orsia knew this.

After all, these notorious pirates are wanted posters everywhere; it's impossible not to recognize them.

Upon hearing Kaido's name, Dimon, who was behind the bar, closed his newspaper and couldn't help but look up to examine him.

"You may leave, Orseya."

"Yes, Lord Dimon."

Princess Chaoyin obediently retreated.

Kaido raised an eyebrow, sniffed, and grinned, "Are you the owner here? I smelled some really good wine outside. Bring out your best wine."

He walked to the bar and plopped down on it.

Dimon laughed and said, "I only have one kind of wine here. You can drink it if you want, but you'll have to pay a price."

"How much money do you want?" Kaido curled his lip. Money was not a problem for him. As long as it was good wine, he didn't mind paying an exorbitant price.

"A glass of wine, a Devil Fruit."

"What?" Kaido was taken aback. "A joke?"

The value of a Devil Fruit is at least 100 million Berries.

As one of the main members of the Rocks Pirates, his current bounty is only 5 million.

Kaido's expression was unfriendly. Paying for fine wine was something he, as a pirate, was only to do.

But he's not some idiot or a sucker, what kind of wine is worth a hundred million?

"My wine is priced as such."

Dimon calmly said, "The name of the wine is the Elixir of Immortality. Drinking a cup will grant you the power of immortality."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Kaido narrowed his eyes.

"It's understandable if you don't believe me. As our first customer, I can allow you to buy on credit."

Dimon smiled and said, "You can drink first and pay for it later."

As he spoke, he took out the Elixir of Immortality from under the bar, uncorked it, and the aroma of the liquor immediately filled the air.

Kaido couldn't help but swallow. Just from the taste, it must be a good bottle of wine!

One bottle of the Elixir of Immortality can only yield four cups.

Even with small cups, the fifth cup will lose its effect after four cups have been poured.

Therefore, Dimon poured Kaido a full glass and pushed the glass in front of Kaido.

"However, I have to warn you."

"Drink this cup of wine, and your appearance will be frozen in time. Your body will no longer age, and even if your head is cut off, your body will return to its original state."

Seeing his confident assertion, Kaido began to doubt its veracity.

Is there such a magical wine in the world?

"Similar to elementalization in nature-based systems? Immune to physical attacks?"

"more or less."

Kaido grinned and asked again, "You'd better be telling the truth, or I'll smash up your shop!"

He picked up the glass and gulped it down in one go.

"Excellent sake!" Kaido exclaimed. "This is the best sake I've ever tasted. Boss, another one, please."

“Drinking too much won’t increase the effect.” Dimon smiled slightly. “Secondly, I won’t give you a second drink until you pay for it.”

Upon hearing that there would be no second cup, Kaido felt like ants were crawling all over his body.

For a young alcoholic, not being able to drink to his heart's content is practically a death sentence.

"Do you want to take action?"

Chapter 3 Kaido: I am invincible!

"Do you want to take action?"

After listening to the bar owner's words, Kaido remained silent for a moment, then grinned and said:

"I, Kaido, would never do something so tasteless. Pirates also have their code of honor. I drank your wine, so of course I won't smash up your shop."

He paused, then added, "Well, consider it as me owing you two Devil Fruits, and have another drink!"

You probably have no intention of paying it back at all, right?

Dimon shook his head. What pirate code? He could only fool himself.

It's like the Navy constantly shouting about justice, even having the word "justice" engraved on the back of their cloaks.

This did not prevent them from helping the Celestial Dragons massacre ordinary civilians on an island.

“It seems you didn’t listen to me,” Dimon said, taking a dagger from under the stage and throwing it in front of Kaido. “You can try it yourself; you’ve already gained the power of immortality.”

Are you serious?

Kaido was stunned for a moment, then, refusing to believe it, picked up the dagger and slashed his palm.

Bright red blood seeped from the cut skin, but soon, as if time had reversed, the overflowing blood flowed back into the body, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few seconds, the cut on his palm had vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

"impossible……!"

Kaido jumped to his feet, his face filled with shock: "It's actually true!"

As he spoke, he looked up and stared at Dimon.

"Who are you?"

"I'm just a bar owner, you can call me Dimon. Do you believe me now?"

The facts are right in front of us; we have to believe them whether we want to or not.

Kaido stabbed his own palm with a dagger, and when he pulled it out, blood spurted out and splattered all over the ground.

But then, all the blood flowed back, and the wound healed once again.

"A little slower... but not by much." Kaido, drawing inferences from this, said in surprise, "The more severe the injury, the slower the recovery?"

"That's right, even if your heart is pierced and your head is cut off, you will still come back to life."

Dimon nodded, thinking to himself, "He's really ruthless. He dared to pierce his own hand just to test me."

The elixir of immortality does not grant immunity to pain; you will still feel pain.

"Oh ho ho ho... This is simply invincible power!"

Kaido couldn't help but burst into laughter, then suddenly remembered something and stared straight at Dimon.

"Won't I become a landlubber after drinking your wine?"

"I've never eaten a Devil Fruit before. Will I ever have the chance?"

"Do not conflict."

"Hehehe... Thank you so much, boss! I'll go find you a Devil Fruit right now, and I'll be back soon!"

Kaido, in high spirits, turned around, laughed, and went out the door.

He wanted to thoroughly test his newly acquired abilities to see if they were as amazing as his boss had described!
