Gan Fall was easygoing and answered almost every question.
Dimon was satisfied and then asked, "So, where is the Sky Island Birka, and how do we get to the so-called Southern Lands?"
"It's very simple. Go to the port at the end of the sea of clouds, rent a super express shrimp, and it will take you to your destination."
As soon as Gan Faure finished speaking, Dimon had already flown away.
He murmured softly, his face full of regret, "You're leaving already? I was hoping you'd stay and sit for a while..."
Following Gan Faure's instructions, Dimon arrived at Port Angels at the end of the sea of clouds. The port was easy to find amidst the vast expanse of white clouds.
When leasing Super Express Shrimp from staff, they were asked to pay 10 billion exafen.
It sounds expensive, but it's actually worth about 10 Berries.
However, 10 Berries isn't cheap for a train ticket.
Dimon didn't care about that. He simply paid and received a whistle. When he blew the whistle, a super-sized shrimp emerged from beneath the sea of clouds.
"Take it, travel on the aerial highway, and you'll arrive in Bika in about three days."
After thanking the staff, Dimon leaped onto the Super Express Shrimp.
At first, it was quite novel, but after a few hours, it became a bit boring.
Looking at the large shrimp at his feet, Dimon was a little curious about how it would taste...
Dimon arrived at a new sky island. Compared to the Kingdom of Gods, Birka was indeed much smaller, a single island hidden in the sea of clouds.
Using his Observation Haki, he could detect that there were only about a thousand people on the entire sky island.
However, among these people, there are quite a few powerful warriors whose voices are stronger than those of pirates worth tens of millions.
Dimon flew higher, looking down at Bika, and found a dozen children in a warrior training camp.
These children appear to be priests in training, having received instruction from a young age.
"Is that Enel? He looks about ten years old."
Dimon recognized Enel at a glance; his long earlobes were extremely eye-catching and easy to spot.
During his training, Enel seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up at the sky.
There was nothing in the sky except clouds.
"Quite perceptive, is it due to a natural talent for strong Observation Haki?"
Dimon, now invisible, smiled slightly, wondering whether he should go down and say hello, and perhaps bestow upon the other party the mark of the [New Era].
After consideration, we decided to abandon the idea for now.
I'm not here to be the leader of the kids today, but rather to see if I can pick up a Rumble-Rumble Fruit along the way.
After a half-hour search, Dimon finally found the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in Bika's temple.
The fruit was enshrined in the temple and placed openly on the stone platform.
The temple is guarded by Sky Warriors, all of whom possess Observation Haki, also known as the Mind Network.
But they still couldn't detect Dimon's presence.
Having easily obtained the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Dimon casually left a magic circle in a corner of the temple before teleporting away.
Wano Country, Shogun's Residence.
Stepping out of the pentagram magic circle, Dimon tossed the Thunder Fruit in his hand, pondering whether or not to devour it.
A single nature-type fruit is worth at least a thousand demon points, which would be just enough to replenish his depleted wallet.
But the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is undeniable, and consuming it would feel like a waste.
"Is there any way to allow the fruit to regenerate nearby after being devoured?"
"Looks like I'll have to trouble Vegapunk."
Dimon wasn't in a hurry; he already had the goods and could take them whenever he wanted.
If there were a way to control the regeneration range of Devil Fruits, it would be much easier to acquire points in the future.
There are also artificial Devil Fruits...
Thinking of this, he summoned Abel.
"How is Vegapunk's research progressing?"
"Lord Dimon, there is no progress at the moment."
More than two years have passed since the research on Pluto fuel began, but there has still been no substantial breakthrough.
Abel suddenly remembered something and took out a wanted poster from his pocket:
"By the way, the World Government issued a new arrest warrant for you two days ago, it's here."
Dimon was somewhat surprised that the Five Elders had finally decided to raise his bounty.
[Dimón, the "brewery master"]
Bounty: 5,077,500,000 Berries!
Looking at his bounty, Dimon couldn't help but laugh.
"From over 10 billion to 50 billion, that's not bad!"
He casually tossed the arrest warrant aside and then asked what had happened while he was away.
"In the days you were away... Lord Kaido has returned."
"He's back from his expedition?"
Dimon's eyes lit up. It had been almost three years since they last met.
"Yes, the Beasts Pirates have returned to Beast Castle in Kuri."
Abel followed behind Dimon, then suddenly remembered something, and his tone became somewhat strange:
"Lord Kaido brought back a daughter named Yamato!"
Chapter 94 Kaido's Six Devil Fruits: Yamato and Bullet
Kaido has a daughter?!
Dimon paused, somewhat incredulous.
He knew, of course, that Kaido had a daughter named Yamato, but that was something that would have happened in the original history.
What kind of pirate crew would lead on an expedition?
He returned from his expedition with a daughter!
“I’m going to Jiuli, Abel, you don’t need to come with me.”
Immediately, Dimon flew out of the General's Mansion and headed towards Jiuli.
People in the City of Flowers can see a beam of black light streak across the sky when they look up.
Jiuli, the City of Beasts.
As Dimon descended from the sky and stepped into the courtyard, Kaido was sitting cross-legged, drinking heavily.
“Sashiblidana, Kai. I heard you have a girlfriend… Hmm? And this kid is…”
Beside Kaido was a teenager, strong and with a unique demeanor, who looked like a soldier who had fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
"It's been more than two years since I last saw them. After watching the live broadcast of the execution in Loguetown, I rushed back immediately."
Kaido grinned, seeing Dimon sizing up his new underling, and couldn't help but feel a little smug.
"His name is Douglas Barrett, a Paramecia-type Fusion-Fusion Fruit user. He's a new underling I recently took in, and he's very strong!"
The fact that Kaido calls him very strong means he must have some skill.
It turned out to be a Barrett.
Dimon understood, but this guy had actually been taken in by Kaido...
In the original history, Barrett would have boarded Roger's ship and become a member of the Pirate King's crew.
It possesses cruel titles such as "Successor of the Demon" and "Descendant of the Devil".
"Is he yet another 'new era'?"
Dimon chuckled and looked at Barrett. "How old are you, kid?"
Despite his young age, Barrett possesses a ghostly gaze; ordinary people who meet his eyes are often overwhelmed by his presence.
His gaze was fixed intently on Dimon, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.
"You are the legendary brewer Dimon, I challenge you!"
"Stop! How could you possibly be a match for him?"
Kaido was somewhat speechless at the sight of his subordinates.
He's a complete battle maniac; whenever he encounters someone who looks strong, he can't help but challenge them.
"Challenge me?"
Dimon smiled slightly. "But you're still too green. If you can beat Abel, I can be your opponent."
I wonder if it's some kind of trace of fate.
With the arrival of the Great Pirate Era, new eras are emerging one after another.
Although they are not that powerful at this time, it is foreseeable that these names will shine on this sea in the future.
Who is Abel?
Barrett was eager to fight and ready to try.
Kaido took a swig of his sake. "His subordinates include immortals who have drunk the elixir of immortality, Ancient Zoan Pteranodon users, and descendants of the Lunaria race..."
At this point, Kaido couldn't help but wonder if Bullet could win.
The advantage of immortality is too great, especially since she is a member of the Lunar race.
In comparison, this ability was not as important for Pteranodon.
“This kind of battle is unfair. Damon, Abel is an immortal, but Barrett is not.”
"Give him a cup of the elixir of immortality; at this age, it's the perfect time to drink!"
"I managed to snatch six fruits during my expedition; I'll give them to you later."
Dimon couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. It was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy, and his wallet was empty anyway.
"Let's put the wine aside for now. I heard you have a daughter. Where is she? Let me see her."
Upon hearing this, Kaido's lips twitched slightly, and he had no choice but to have Yamato brought along, along with the Devil Fruit.
Soon, a male and a female pirate arrived in the courtyard, the female pirate holding a baby girl in her arms.
The baby girl had short white hair and two short, gradient-colored red devil horns on her forehead.
The baby held the bottle in both hands and sucked on it.
"Come here, let Uncle Dimon give you a hug."
With a broad smile, Dimon snatched Yamato from the woman's arms and held the little guy in his arms, teasing him a bit.
Yamato wasn't shy at all; while sucking on her bottle, she stared at Dimon with wide, curious eyes.
To be honest, Yamato was really cute when he was little.
Completely different from the heartless cotton-padded jacket that grew up and kept saying "I am Kozuki Oden".
However, now that Kozuki Oden is dead, things will not turn out that way anymore.
Who is her mother?
Dimon looked at the female pirate.
The female pirate hurriedly waved her hands: "Lord Dimon, I'm not... I'm just responsible for taking care of Prince Yamato."
Kaido calmly said, "He died after giving birth to Yamato."
Poor Yamato, he lost his mother at birth.
