One Piece: Starting with the Immortal Rocks Pirates

Page 128

The five elders transformed back into human form and knelt down in unison, sensing the intensity of Im's rage.

"Satan is a piece of trash!"

After a long pause, Im calmed himself down and coldly gave the order: "Erase this island from the map!"

After a brief period of silence, destruction began.

Aokiji, looking exhausted, leaned against a burning tree, gazing at the four-headed monster ravaging the earth, his feelings a complex mix.

I saw something incredible today.

Rocks, who disappeared for more than ten years, has reappeared.

During Rocks's active era, he had not yet joined the Navy, but he had heard of this great pirate's name and this was the first time he had seen him in person.

However, what shocked him even more than Rocks was the Five Elders' presence in the lower realm.

Wano Country, Shogun's Mansion, Banquet Hall.

"Ouch...that really hurts. You two are pretty fast."

Kaido touched his chest, where Im had stabbed him with his spear. The flesh had regenerated, but intense pain still burned his body.

It's unknown what kind of power that weapon carries.

"Here you go, the wine."

Dimon tossed a bottle of wine to Kaido and laughed, "One sip and the pain will be gone."

Nearby, Lox picked up a barrel of wine and downed it in one gulp.

He wiped his mouth. "Refreshing! After more than ten years, I can finally have a sip!"

"Congratulations on regaining your freedom." Dimon smiled.

Lox let out a burp and grinned, "I have to thank you, my great benefactor, my life is yours!"

gay...

Dimon thought to himself, "What are your plans now? Rebuild the Rocks Pirates?"

When this matter was brought up, Rocks shook his head:

"I no longer have that thought. My methods in the past were wrong. People I gained through the One Piece game would still betray me if they were meant to. The oath I made to Davy Jones couldn't hold people back!"

He paused, then looked at Dimon: "Besides, you saved my life, so I can't possibly go back to being a captain now. Actually, I have a question... what did you do to me back then?"

"I have transformed you into a servant of the demon."

Upon hearing this, Rocks was stunned.

I glanced at Kaido, who was still drinking heartily, seemingly unsurprised by the news.

"Is that so? I see. No wonder your elixir of immortality can easily make people ageless and immortal."

Rocks looked curious: "So, Dimon, which Devil Fruit of yours has come to life?"

He showed no aversion to being a member of the demon's retinue.

After all, he's only alive now thanks to Dimon.

Dimon was speechless. What kind of Devil Fruit could be made into a spirit? He was a perfectly normal human... no, a demon!

"How do you know that Devil Fruits can become sentient? Have you ever seen one?"

“Some powerful Devil Fruits harbor a will, and I suspect you might be something similar,” Rocks explained. “I’ve been searching for two Devil Fruits that are key to defeating Im. Those two fruits are just like that.”

"What fruit?"

"The Rubber-Rubber Fruit and the Dark-Dark Fruit!"

Chapter 159 The Three's New Bounty

The rubber fruit is the Nika fruit.

This is understandable for Dimon.

But what is the reason for the Dark-Dark Fruit?

"What's so special about the Dark Fruit?" Dimon asked directly.

"I don't know much about that either."

Rocks shook his head, picked up another bottle of wine and took a big gulp. "This is a record from our clan. As long as we obtain this fruit, we can gain the power to defeat the Celestial Dragons."

"By the way, you probably don't know this yet. My real name is David D. Gibeck, and I belong to the David family."

"I already know, from your son."

Rocks suddenly spat out the wine in his mouth, spraying it all over Kaido's face.

He stared at Dimon in disbelief. "My son?"

“Your son’s name is Teach, right? David D. Teach.” Dimon smiled slightly and said, “He’s on Whitebeard’s ship.”

“Newgate?” Rocks was momentarily dazed.

Although some members of the Rocks Pirates betrayed him, there were also those who stood by his side.

"According to Whitebeard, he met your son when he stopped in the Kingdom of Lulusia. Your son hugged his leg and cried, wanting to join the Whitebeard Pirates."

Upon hearing this, Rocks couldn't help but laugh.

Judging by the time, his son should be 18 years old now. Under the protection of the white-bearded man, there shouldn't be any problems.

Upon hearing the news that his son was still alive, Rocks felt an urge to go and see him.

But reason prevailed over his thoughts. He was being watched by the World Government, and if he rashly went to see Whitebeard, his family might be implicated if the enemy found out.

Secondly, and more importantly.

Rocks said in a deep voice, "The Celestial Dragons won't let us go. They'll attack sooner or later. We must be prepared. By the way... where is this? The Hive?"

"This is Wano Country. I am now the Shogun of Wano Country."

Dimon calmly drank his wine, showing no sign of tension regarding the attack that Rocks had mentioned.

Im is indeed powerful, but he has discovered an important piece of intelligence.

In the previous situation, Im did not descend to Ohara in his true form, but instead chose to possess Satan.

Does this mean that Im is actually subject to some kind of restriction, preventing Him from easily leaving the Holy Land of Mary Geoise?

Or perhaps, there's no way to leave?

Even when possessing another person, Im's strength is not so great that he cannot defeat them.

Therefore, even if the Celestial Dragons mobilized their entire forces, along with the Navy's military strength, to attack Wano Country, he would not be afraid at all.

At that moment, Kaido suddenly remembered something.

"The Rubber Fruit, you mean the Nika Fruit? The fruit that Joy Boy ate more than 800 years ago. Legend has it that the sun god Nika's body was like rubber."

“That’s right!” Rocks nodded. “The World Government changed its name to Gum-Gum Fruit in order to conceal its existence.”

"I've already got that thing."

Both of them turned to look at Dimon, their faces filled with shock.

"Rocks is one thing, but why are you so surprised, Kay? Didn't I mention it to you?"

"When did you say that?" Kaido asked, looking completely bewildered.

“I don’t think I ever mentioned that.” Dimon thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, “I’ve already used the fruit to make wine.”

Lox opened his mouth, but remained silent for a long time.

"That's a god-level fruit, how could you use it to make wine?"

“It’s pointless.” Dimon glanced at him. “If you’re not one of the chosen ones, you won’t be able to awaken the Gum-Gum Fruit. A fruit that can’t be awakened is just an ordinary Paramecia-type.”

“That’s true,” Lockes thought for a moment and asked, “Where did you find it? The fruit you took to make wine will regenerate, perhaps in the same place.”

"Elbaf".

In fact, it wasn't him who found it, but Roger.

However, Roger was his subordinate, which is equivalent to him finding him, so there's nothing wrong with that.

Upon hearing this, Lox's eyes flashed, and he immediately said:

"I suggest we go to Elbaf. We could try to see if the Gum-Gum Fruit has been reborn there..."

"On the other hand, we now need strong combat power to deal with the possible attacks that may come next. Harald's strength is on par with mine!"

When Dimon recalled God Valley, he had a brief encounter with the other party.

That guy is now under the command of the World Government, right? In order to join the World Government, he made Elbaf a member state.

I don't know what it is about the member states that attracts him so much that he has to offer himself up to them as a dog.

To be honest, Dimon looked down on people like that.

However, in terms of combat power, it is indeed a formidable force.

"Then go there."

Dimon made the decision.

Whether it's devouring them or turning them into your familiars, it's a good option.

We can also see if the rubber fruit really will be reborn in that country.

Six or seven years have passed since he devoured the Gum-Gum Fruit; he should have been reborn, but it's uncertain where he was reborn.

The following day, a news story shocked the world.

After years of silence, Rocks is resurrected and appears in Ohara in the West Sea.

Together with brewer Dimon and Kaido of the Beasts, they wiped an island off the map.

Ohara is declared destroyed!

The World Government's original intention was to make an example of someone, but things always take unexpected turns.

The archaeologists have all been sent away, and their whereabouts are currently unknown.

Since that's the case, let's just throw all the blame on Dimon and his two companions.

Faced with the Five Elders' demands, "News King" Morgans dared not disobey. With a mindset of enjoying the spectacle, he exaggerated the "resurrection" of Rocks.

Those who were unaware of the truth were filled with fear and unease.

Naval Headquarters, Marineford.

A conference room.

"Meeting King" Branno is only 26 years old and has the rank of major, but he is still the one presiding over the meeting today.

"As you all know from the news, in this great pirate era, the power of villains is growing ever more rampant, even destroying an island!"

He slapped three brand-new arrest warrants onto the whiteboard behind him.

"These three are the greatest threat to world peace in our time!!"

All those present were naval officers, including a vice admiral.

Others may not know, but the lieutenant generals had all heard a bit of the news.

Brannus is just a major and has no idea about the inside story of the Ohara incident. He actually thinks that Dimon and his two companions destroyed Ohara.

The real destroyer of Ohara was the Five Elders, not even their Navy's Buster Call, but the Five Elders themselves who took action.

"Over 60 billion..."

Momousagi Gion looked at the three brand-new wanted posters and couldn't help but gasp.

Bounty: 970 million

Bounty: 178 million Berry
