That old man's Armament Haki was incredibly strong.
He opened his mouth and breathed out flames, illuminating the darkness. As the flames engulfed his attacker, he saw who it was.
It was a man with a bowl cut, whose expression was not that of a living person, but rather like a cold killing machine.
“Shit…!”
Wang Zhi had a bad feeling, and this sense of crisis came true the next second.
Using his Observation Haki to foresee the future, he saw a flash of light from the darkness to his side, followed by his own head flying high into the air.
No time to dodge!
Wang Zhi felt a sense of dread, knowing that the future would unfold but being powerless to change it.
This sword strike was too fast; it was a calculated move that caught the opponent off guard.
First, use the bowl-headed samurai to attract his full attention. By the time he realizes something is wrong, it will be too late.
Dimon severed Wang Zhi's head with a single stroke, but this was not the end.
"This patriarch is immortal, you idiot!"
The severed head was still laughing loudly, and it opened its mouth to spew out a mouthful of scorching flames.
"A banquet with candlelight and wine!"
In an instant, the flames formed a blazing fire dragon, rushing towards Dimon, who was standing right next to him.
Dimon remained expressionless, and with a swift movement of his left hand, he shattered the fire dragon, his five fingers forming a claw as he grabbed Wang Zhi's head.
Flames enveloped his body and burned continuously.
However, under the defense of Armament Haki, Dimon showed no abnormality.
"Farewell, Wang Zhi."
In the fourth second, it devoured.
Wang Zhi's expression changed drastically, and he immediately sensed an immense fear approaching.
The regenerative power of the immortal body seemed to freeze at this moment.
A terrifying devouring power emanated from the opponent's palm, eroding his consciousness.
In his final moments before dying, he understood, his shocked eyes staring intently at Dimon through his fingers.
"You! You are...!?"
Dimon's name was left unsaid.
At the fifth second, his head turned to dust and dissipated, being absorbed into the palm of his hand.
If it were a whole person, it would take at least several seconds, or even more than ten seconds, to devour them.
But it's just a head, and it only takes a second.
"The body shouldn't be wasted either..." Dimon grabbed the remaining parts of Wang Zhi's body and devoured them.
Then, Wang Zhi's life flashed through his mind like a movie.
Many years ago, I was born as a baby in the Flower Kingdom of the Western Sea.
In his youth, he left the Flower Kingdom as a petty hoodlum and wandered the West Sea.
He once joined a gang, worked as a human trafficker, and after being wanted by the Navy, he became a pirate and proclaimed himself the patriarch of pirates.
More than a decade ago, I entered the Grand Line, encountered Rocks, lost to him in the Pirate Game, and became a member of the Rocks Pirates.
Ten years ago, he drank the Elixir of Immortality at the Skull Hotel and became immortal.
Eight years ago, he participated in the God Valley Battle, and then fled and disappeared.
A month ago, he returned to Beehive Island, occupied the place, and continued the work of the Pirate Godfather.
Today, it has been swallowed up!
"Not as good as Oden."
Dimon shook his head.
Oden's childhood was so exciting; in comparison, Wang Zhi's background was humble.
Having a good father is indeed a guarantee of 99% success in life.
"And he doesn't even have the potential for Conqueror's Haki..."
Among the main members of the Rocks Pirates, Wang Zhi's combat strength was not strong. He was not as good as Whitebeard, Shiki, or Silver Axe and John. He was considered a third-tier officer.
However, Wang Zhi's Observation Haki is quite powerful.
At this moment, after absorbing Wang Zhi, Dimon's Observation Haki greatly improved.
"Predicting the future, I can now see ten seconds into the future... and the range has also increased, reaching a radius of thirty kilometers."
The difficulty of using Observation Haki to predict the future increases exponentially with each additional second.
At this moment, by releasing his Observation Haki, he could sense that many pirates on the island were looking up at him.
The moment the thought arose, Wang Zhi materialized.
Dimon tried to use his mind in three ways, splitting off a wisp of consciousness to control Wang Zhi, but on the other side, Columbus in the deep-sea prison would become dazed and motionless.
"I'm not used to multitasking, let's leave it at that for now."
It's manageable to keep things under control, but if you want to do something meticulous, you have to expend much more effort.
He waved his hand to disperse Wang Zhi, then, on a whim, returned to Wano Country.
Beehive Island, hospital.
The unfortunate men from last night, covered in burns, are now lying in hospital beds, their bodies wrapped in bandages.
There were quite a few of Wang Zhi's underlings gathered around the hospital bed.
"Nak, where is the Pope?"
"We searched all night but couldn't find Lord Wang Zhi!"
The man called Nak said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know either... Last night an old man got into a fight with the Pope, and then I don't know what happened."
"Old man? Who is he?"
"I remember his name was... Yamamoto Genryusai, a very powerful swordsman!"
"Huh? I've never even heard of it."
One of the officers frowned and said, "This is troublesome. With Lord Wang Zhi missing, who will suppress the pirates on the island?"
They weren't worried about the patriarch, who was an immortal monster; they were more worried about the pirates on the island finding out that Wang Zhi wasn't there.
Ambitious pirates will definitely want to overthrow them.
Wano Country, Shogun's Residence.
Dimon woke up feeling refreshed.
When Dimon saw Tianyue in the courtyard, the woman was watering flowers.
"Early, time".
Good morning, Mr. Dimon.
Tian Yue smiled gently, and seeing that Dimon seemed to be in a good mood, she blinked curiously:
"Did anything good happen to you?"
"Seeing that you're in a good mood."
Upon hearing this, Tianyue Shi blushed slightly, turned away shyly, and continued watering the flowers, muttering to herself.
"Nonsense! He must have been drunk again yesterday."
Dimon couldn't help but chuckle; women's shyness was amusing, especially when it came to pretty women.
Suddenly remembering the Devil Fruit Kaido had given him yesterday, he immediately went to the storage room.
There are seven fruits in total.
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit can be kept for now; it can be used to train capable subordinates. As for the other six, they will devour them all at once.
Consume a Devil Fruit and gain 200 Devil Points.
[Eat one...]
[Demon Points]: 0 → 1200
The six fruits brought him 1200 points, making his wallet bulge again.
Then, he made a bottle of elixir of immortality and summoned Abel.
"Send this bottle of wine to Kuri and give it to Kaido."
Abel immediately accepted the order and left.
He flapped his wings and flew out of the general's mansion. The next moment, boom!
A loud bang came from outside. Dimon was startled and immediately sensed with his Observation Haki that someone was fighting with Abel.
"Barrett?"
Chapter 98 Who is Yamamoto Genryusai?
As Dimon stepped out of the general's mansion, he looked up and saw Barrett and Abel fighting in mid-air.
The clash of their Armament Haki produced a deafening roar, like a thunderclap, that instantly shook the entire city.
"You're Kaido's confidant... Is there something you need?"
Abel protected the Elixir of Immortality with one hand while parrying his opponent's punches with the other.
“Barrett!” Barrett announced his name, grinning. “Defeat you, and I can challenge Mr. Dimon!”
After becoming an immortal, he couldn't wait to come to the Flower Capital to take on the challenge.
Kaido also gave his permission to do so.
Upon hearing this, Abel's eyes flashed, and he snorted coldly:
"You think you can challenge Lord Dimon? There's a limit to how much you can joke!"
If you're just challenging him, he has no interest in paying attention to you at all.
But it's a different story when Dimon is involved!
What kind of nobody dares to challenge Lord Dimon?
A divine fire ignited behind Abel, instantly transforming him into a toothless pterosaur with a hard, cone-shaped beak that plunged fiercely into Barrett's chest.
Barrett concentrated his Armament Haki on the area he was hit, but even so, he was still knocked down from the sky by a single blow and crashed heavily onto the streets of Huadu.
Seeing this, Dimon had no choice but to shout:
"If you move to another location, it will be a lot of trouble to repair afterwards. As for the wine... give it to me, I'll deliver it myself."
"I'm so sorry, Lord Dimon!"
Abel immediately tossed the Elixir of Immortality to Dimon, then flapped his wings and swooped down.
Two claws grabbed Barrett, who had just gotten up, and carried him away from the city in the blink of an eye.
Who will win between these two?
Dimon reached out and caught the bottle, watching the two walk away, unsure of the outcome of the contest.
Barrett possesses Conqueror's Haki, which he has already awakened, and his Fusion Fruit is also quite powerful.
But Abel is no less impressive. The Lunaria race has an advantage in racial talent, but they are at a disadvantage in terms of Devil Fruits.
Ancient species are not mythical species after all, so the boost that Pteranodon provides to Abel is only average.
"Should we give him a different fruit? Thunder?"
Abel has been loyal to him since childhood, and Dimon doesn't care much about a mere Logia-type Devil Fruit.
However, this matter depends on his own wishes.
