One Piece: Starting with the Immortal Rocks Pirates

Page 19

Dimon jumped off the ship and strolled leisurely at the back, while the others had already stormed into the island.

Except for Stussy.

Why don't you charge in?

"I'm just a scientist, I have no fighting ability," Stussy smiled slightly. "Dimon, remember to protect me~"

"Then you'd better stay close."

Dimon casually retorted, "They're all immortals, what's the point of protecting them? They won't die anyway."

The two walked leisurely toward the center of God Valley.

After crossing the coast, they arrived at a woodland. On a high slope near the woodland, Saturn, one of the Five Elders, leaned on his cane, his gaze fixed on Dimon.

"Is it you? Dimon, the brewer?"

Chapter 24 How dare Im's mere dog bark so arrogantly?

Dimon and Stussy stopped in their tracks and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

"Saturn" Jaigolusia Satan is the only one of the Five Elders whose name he can remember.

"A chance encounter? No, it seems like they were waiting for me." Dimon chuckled. "Good afternoon, old man Saturn."

Stussy took a step back, shielding Dimon in front of him, and then looked at Saturn without saying a word.

Saturn Satan snorted, his gaze sweeping over Dimon before he glared at Stussy.

His eyes gleamed red.

The next moment, poof!

Stussy's head was struck by an invisible force, and he fell straight backward.

Dimon turned his head and saw that the girl's face was covered in blood and gore.

The spilled blood seemed to possess a life of its own, returning on its own, and the wound healed in the blink of an eye.

Stussy stood up, covering his face, and glared angrily at Dimon:

"You promised to protect me! It hurts so much!"

Dimon shrugged: "How can I protect someone with that murderous look in their eyes?"

Although he knew the power of [Evil Eye] and indeed had a chance to save her, he figured he wouldn't die anyway, so he might as well give Stussy a hard time and see how powerful the move was.

I have to say, that's pretty cool. Can Devour Satan learn that move?

Stussy was clearly still angry, giving Dimon a weak punch before glaring angrily at Saturn on the hillside.

"You old geezer, you've ruined my makeup!"

For her, pain could be endured, but her carefully prepared makeup was not to be desecrated.

Do you know how long it takes to do your makeup?!

Saturn Satan remained calm, merely observing with narrowed eyes, thinking to himself, "Just as the intelligence indicated, he's immortal..."

Dimon ignored Stussy and strode toward the earthen mound, his right fist turning black.

"Dimon, whatever your Rocks Pirates' purpose in invading this place, I can promise you Celestial Dragon status and allow you to join the Knights of God. How about it?"

Saturn Satan spoke calmly.

He came specifically to recruit people.

Dimon moved swiftly, closing in like lightning, and then delivered a powerful punch to Saturn's face.

"That's not sincere, old man!"

The heavy punch made Saturn's entire face shrink back.

Advanced Armament Haki, internal destruction!

Saturn's face was contorted as it was violently sent flying like a ball, crashing through several trees, bouncing and rolling on the ground before finally coming to a stop against a rock wall.

"Well done, Dimon!"

Stussy clapped his hands enthusiastically, adding plenty of emotional impact: "So cool! Hit him hard!"

Dimon ignored him and continued walking toward Saturn.

"If you want to recruit me, you'll have to show your sincerity by giving me ten Devil Fruits first."

"Bastard thing!"

Saturn Satan got up, his face covered in blood, but the wounds were also healing rapidly.

He stared sharply at Dimon, his gaze hardening, a red light flashing within it.

Dimon tilted his head slightly, dodging the attack while closing in on Satan like a cheetah, and then swept his leg across.

A powerful kick broke Satan's cane, and the blow struck him like a steel whip.

Satan was kicked away again, his entire body hanging on the rock wall behind him like a painting.

"Do you think the same trick will work a second time in front of me?" Dimon scoffed.

The menacing eyes follow the line of sight, and a red light indicates that the attack is about to begin.

Knowing this information makes it easy to avoid.

After being repeatedly beaten, Satan was completely enraged.

Black lightning crackled around him, his body began to swell, six spider legs grew from his lower body, and black flames swirled around his upper body.

In the blink of an eye, Satan transformed into his beast form, looking down at Dimon from above.

"Legend has it that the wine you brew is called the Wine of Immortality, and those who drink it will gain the power of immortality."

"This ability is exactly what we need... that's absolutely right."

"But don't get too cocky, kid!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the human-beast Satan raised a spider leg and plunged down with its sharp claws.

Dimon blocked with his arms, concentrating his Armament Haki on the area being hit.

With a bang, he managed to block the attack.

The next moment, Dimon grabbed the spider's leg with his backhand, exerted force with his feet, and transmitted the power to his waist. With a twist of his waist, he slammed the massive spider away with an over-the-shoulder throw.

"what?!"

Satan's breath hitched, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes: "What incredible arm strength... Is this kid a giant?"

His body floated in the air, then he was slammed hard onto the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw, creating a large crater.

Dimon leaped into the air, and the Armament Haki wrapped around his right fist burst forth with a blazing red light.

Satan was thrown off balance and before he could even get up, he saw a red light descend from the sky.

The ground cracked, and the pit expanded several times in an instant.

The punch landed squarely on Satan's chest, the internal damage from high-level Armament Haki instantly smashing his internal organs to pieces.

"puff……!"

Satan suddenly coughed up blood, and veins bulged on his forehead.

A spider leg stabbed at Dimon from the side, sending him flying.

Dimon steadied himself in mid-air, landing lightly on a tree trunk, and mocked:

"Is this all the Five Elders are capable of?"

The way the spider flipped over was quite comical, with its six legs quickly supporting its massive body.

Once Satan regained his footing, his injuries had fully healed.

He stared coldly at Dimon in the tree: "It's useless. Do you think you're the only one with immortality?"

He paused for a moment, then issued his final ultimatum.

"This is your last chance: join the Knights of God and brew the elixir of immortality for us!"

Dimon's lips curled into a disdainful smile: "Looks like you're quite confident in your immortality? A few dogs kept by Im dare to bark and howl in front of me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, black lightning crackled around him, and demonic power swirled around him like smoke.

Dark demonic power surged into the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning, and a pair of jet-black wings unfurled, blotting out the sun.

"What...what is this?!"

Saturn Satan stared in disbelief at the scene, instinctively sensing a threat.

It was as if the dominant predator was instinctively intimidating the subordinate prey.

A black light flashed.

Satan's pupils contracted sharply as Dimon, with wings on his back, appeared before him.

The real moment is right before my eyes.

The next moment, a pitch-black hand pierced his eyes like a sharp blade.

"Uhhhhhh!"

Satan let out a shrill scream, his six spider legs retreating continuously. In his panic, he staggered like a drunken man.

"My eyes...my eyes!!"

A sharp pain shot through him, and Satan covered his right eye, incredulously discovering that the wound on his eye was not healing.

Dimon gently flapped his wings, flew above Saturn Satan, and grinned:

"Yes, that's how dogs bark."

Chapter 25 Little friend, please give this fruit to your uncle.

Saturn's Satan howled in agony, a peculiar power emanating from his right eye, preventing the eyeball from regenerating.

【this is……】

Suddenly, a voice echoed in my mind.

Satan Saint was startled and blurted out, "Lord Im!"

[Grab this power!!]

"Yes, Lord Im!"

Ignoring his injuries, Satan raised one of his spider legs high, not to attack his opponent, but to slam it into the ground.

In an instant, a huge pentagram magic circle appeared in front of him.

Wisps of black smoke rose from the magic circle, accompanied by black lightning that descended upon the center of the pentagram. A giant over forty meters tall appeared, kneeling on one knee.

In mid-air, Dimon watched this scene in astonishment.

Were you just talking to Im?

He was well aware that Im could communicate with the Five Elders and the Knights of God from a distance.

However, the newly appeared giant looked very familiar.

"Harald, seize him," Saturn Satan commanded in a deep voice. "You failed in the last deal; don't disappoint me this time!"

Dimon raised an eyebrow: "As expected, he is the Giant King."

Harald, holding a huge longsword, stood up, first frowned and glanced at Satan Saint, then fixed his gaze on Dimon.

He was slightly taken aback. "You are... the brewer that Lox mentioned?"

"I am Dimon, nice to meet you, King of Giants."

Dimon calmly sized up the other person.

Harald possesses the blood of an ancient giant, has a pair of horns on his head, a fierce face, and a huge black beard.

Two years ago, he had a peak battle with Rocks, which ended in a draw and they broke off their friendship.

Seeing that the other party was summoned from the pentagram magic circle, Dimon guessed that the other party possessed a "mark".
