“But Devil Fruits aren’t so easy to obtain,” Shakky sighed. “It’s not like when I was captain; I have to look after this tavern now.”
Dimon gave her an idea: "All the pirates on the island are your fans, why don't you ask someone to help you find them?"
Shaki's eyes lit up. "Great idea! Thank you, Dimon."
Gloria shrugged: "Take it easy, your charm doesn't work on him, right, Dimon?"
Dimon didn't respond. He wasn't gay and didn't like men, but liking women and being a simp were two different things.
I spent the whole day at Xiaqi's bar, and to be honest, it wasn't boring at all, with a few beautiful women chatting with me.
From the gossip of the three women, Dimon learned many stories about the Rocks Pirates.
For example, the first members to join were Whitebeard, Shiki, and a few others.
Kaido was recruited into Whitebeard's pirate crew, so Whitebeard and Kaido had a good relationship.
There's also Charlotte Linlin, whom Gloria Osamu often says gives birth like popcorn, and she already has several children.
Charlotte Katakuri, the future vice-president of the Charlotte Family, is already 8 years old, the same age as Abel.
Back at the Immortal Bar.
Dimon turned to Abel and said, "You're safe now. You can go wherever you want."
"Lord Dimon, I want to follow you!" Abel clenched his fist. "I want to become as strong as you!"
Dimon raised an eyebrow. To be honest, his current strength ranks last among the pirate crews.
If it's just a contest of strength, he's a bit stronger than Kaido, but in terms of Haki, he's far inferior.
Devouring sea kings can only strengthen his physique, but cannot enhance his domineering aura.
However, he still has quite a few Demon Points, which he can use to devour pirates skilled in Haki. Reaching Kaido's level shouldn't be a problem.
"Then you need to cultivate diligently."
Just then, a tall figure appeared outside the bar.
The man had an X-shaped scar down his broad chin, and a black tattoo on the front left side of his torso.
Dimon recognized the man; he had met him once before at the Skull Hotel. Looking at the man's blood-covered hands, he asked in surprise:
"A late-night visit, is there something you need?"
"It's only a little past eight o'clock, not late at night."
The man was expressionless and unsmiling. His right hand was covered in blood as he handed out a treasure chest.
"As agreed, one Devil Fruit and one cup of elixir of immortality!"
Upon hearing this, Dimon immediately smiled. He took the treasure chest, opened it, and sure enough, there was a Devil Fruit inside.
"What kind of fruit is this?"
"do not know."
He's a silent, unassuming person.
Dimon didn't mind, as long as it was a Devil Fruit.
"Wait a minute, I'll go get you some wine."
He handed the treasure chest to Abel for safekeeping, then went behind the bar and, using the bar's cover, used 100 demon points to create a bottle of immortality wine on the spot.
[Demon Points]: 400 → 300
Dimon poured a full glass and handed it to Xiong.
Without saying a word, Xiong drank it down in one gulp right in front of him.
His expression clearly faltered for a moment, as if he hadn't expected the elixir of immortality to taste so exquisite.
"Good wine!" the fierce voice said calmly. "Thank you for the wine, goodbye."
After saying that, he left.
They came quickly and left quickly; everything was done with lightning speed.
Abel returned the treasure chest to Dimon and asked, "Lord Dimon, was that person also a member of the Rocks Pirates?"
“Yes, one of the core members.” Dimon waved his hand. “There are empty rooms on the second floor. Choose one yourself and clean it yourself.”
Abel immediately went upstairs.
Dimon sat down, took out the Devil Fruit from the treasure chest, and swallowed it without hesitation.
[Consuming a Devil Fruit grants 800 Devil Points.]
[Demon Points]: 300 → 1100
"800!"
Dimon was slightly surprised. It was eight times stronger than a normal Zoan-type Devil Fruit. What kind of fruit was this?
However, the next moment, looking at his balance of 1100, he suddenly remembered the cost of unlocking new skills.
"It seems like I can unlock the second demon skill with 1000 points..."
Without hesitation, Dimon activated his second skill.
It's something you'll have to eat sooner or later, so enjoy it sooner rather than later.
[Demon Points]: 1100 → 100
[You have unlocked Demon Skill 2!]
Demon Skill 1: Making the Elixir of Immortality
Demon Skill 2: Demon Form
Demon Skill 3: Not unlocked
Demon Skill 4: Not Unlocked
Previously, there was no skill four, but now that skill two has been unlocked, there is one more.
Dimon closed his eyes, and an incredibly complex body of demonic knowledge was flooding into his mind.
After a moment, he roughly understood the new skill.
[Demon Form]: Reveals a demonic form.
The skill description is very simple, and it seems to be a skill that can be upgraded over time.
"Albert, I'm going out for a bit."
He called out towards the second floor, and Dimon immediately went out.
Before long, he arrived at the northern coast of the island, a sparsely populated area where few people came, a stark contrast to the bustling south.
Dimon clenched his fists, black lightning crackling around him, emitting a hissing sound.
Suddenly, a pair of pitch-black demon wings appeared behind him.
Trying to flap its wings, Dimon took to the air.
"I can fly now, that's great!" Dimon thought happily, flying over the sea and looking at the surface of the ocean in the bright moonlight.
His image was reflected on the sea. Compared to his human form, in his demon form, he not only had an extra pair of wings, but his entire demeanor had also undergone a tremendous change.
Noble and mysterious.
"In demon form, I can inscribe a pentagram magic circle like Im... So, Im really is a demon, right?"
As Dimon thought to himself, he extended his right index finger and quickly traced a path in the air, instantly engraving a pentagram magic circle in the void.
"Is this... a teleportation magic circle?"
Chapter 17 Another Legend, The Roger Pirates
He knew perfectly well that the pentagram magic circle he had drawn himself did indeed have teleportation capabilities.
Dimon seemed to be deep in thought, and immediately reached out and penetrated into the center of the magic circle.
The opposite side was empty; there was nothing there.
"Without corresponding coordinates, we don't know where we'll be teleported to... We need to leave magic circles in other places as well so that we can transfer between the two."
With a wave of his hand, Dimon dispelled the pentagram magic circle. It was a good skill; he could leave one at home for easy return to the Immortal Bar later.
besides……
With a thought, pitch-black demonic power erupted, wrapping around Dimon like silk threads, covering his entire body, with only his eyes exposed.
With a sudden flap of its wings, Dimon skimmed across the sea, its supersonic flight tearing through the atmosphere, and as it approached the surface, it cut through the ocean like a sharp blade.
Dimon was in a good mood and flew for a long time before quietly returning.
In his demon form, his combat power is much stronger than in his human form, and it will become stronger as he gets stronger.
"It really is a skill that can grow in potential!"
After testing his new skills, Dimon happily deactivated his transformation.
"Abel, you stay here and watch the bar. If any customers come in, tell them I'm not here and they can trade me a Devil Fruit for drinks."
"Understood, Lord Dimon."
After giving his underlings some instructions, Dimon went out for a stroll.
We need to find a new target; it must be a pirate who has mastered both Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
If it also had Conqueror's Haki, it would be even more perfect!
He currently has 100 Demon Points, three-quarters of a bottle of Elixir of Immortality, and an Injection of Immortality.
“A pirate like that has a bounty of at least a hundred million. Just looking at the bounty poster isn’t enough; you have to find the person yourself and test them out to find out.”
With that thought in mind, Dimon strolled leisurely down the street.
He wasn't in a hurry. The sea king he had swallowed a few days ago hadn't been fully digested yet, and he was just looking for potential targets.
As they walked, they unknowingly arrived at Shakky's tavern.
Even in the morning, the place was quite lively, with a group of pirates acting crazy in front of the tavern.
"Miss Xia Qi, I love you!"
"Shaki-chan, can I take a picture?"
"If I could drink Xiaqi's wine, I would die without regrets!"
Xia Qi stood in front of the tavern, a subtle smile on her face as she faced the enthusiastic fans.
She clapped her hands, signaling everyone to be quiet: "Please listen to me."
"Shut up, all of you! Didn't you hear Xia Qi was about to speak?" someone shouted.
Then the scene instantly fell silent, and the dogs became as obedient as trained dogs.
Dimon: "..."
At the back of the crowd, Dimon was utterly speechless at the scene before him.
Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder.
Good morning, Dimon!
Dimon turned his head and saw it was Stussy. This woman walked so silently, it was terrifying.
"Good morning... what is she doing?"
"You mean Shaki?" Stussy blinked. "Who knows? I was just passing by and saw that it was so lively, so I came to take a look."
Shakky didn't notice the two of them. After the pirates quieted down, she spoke gently:
"There's something I'd like to ask of everyone. I want a Devil Fruit, any kind will do."
"I'll prepare 1 million Berries to buy it, and in addition, I'll give you a gift: a permanent free drinking voucher, so you can come to the bar anytime without having to wait in line!"
"Because I'm usually very busy, I'll have to ask you all for help with this."
Xia Qi clasped her hands together, exuding her charm.
The pirates were clearly smitten, their eyes sparkling with hearts.
