One Piece: Starting with the Immortal Rocks Pirates

Page 41

As he spoke, Nika's form disappeared, and Dimon returned to his original form.

The bootleg Nika isn't as powerful as you might imagine; it's not as good as the real Nika, and its moves are all weaker versions.

"There's something else fun, take a look!"

Dimon free-falls from the air, simultaneously raising his right fist and slamming it into the atmosphere.

The atmosphere cracked like a spider web, spreading across the sky, and the shockwave rapidly spread towards Kaido.

Kaido's eyes widened in disbelief.

"How is this possible? This is Whitebeard's...!"

The tremor reached Kaido's feet, and in an instant, the earth shook violently once again. The giant crater beneath Kaido's feet shattered, and the powerful force of the tremor flattened the area, turning it into ruins.

"Hmm...it doesn't seem that great either."

Dimon landed lightly, standing on the shattered earth, staring at Kaido buried under the rubble.

Kaido pushed away the rock that was pressing down on him and got up, looking somewhat bewildered.

"What's going on? Why can you use Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit?"

“Too weak, less than a fifth of Whitebeard’s power.” Damon shook his head. “If it really was him, one punch would have wiped out the entire city.”

The future simulated by the Year Fruit is all a copy and cannot compare to the original's power.

This is the flaw of the Year Fruit; it relies on the power of belief, and the more one believes, the stronger the fruit's power becomes.

Even if Damon had personally witnessed Whitebeard using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, the power of the future warp replica was still far inferior.

It's unclear whether it's because he hasn't fully utilized the benefits of the Year-Bearing Fruit, since he only ate it recently.

Or perhaps she's too old and doesn't have the same "imagination" as little Bonnie.

In short, this fruit was not as powerful as he had imagined; its only advantage was its versatility, as it could mimic the abilities of many other fruits.

"So what's going on?"

"It's just imitating someone else's ability, what's the big deal?"

Dimon waved his hand and turned to walk towards the Flower Capital: "Going back now, thanks for your hard work, Kai."

Kaido: "..."

So you called me out here just to make me a punching bag?

Holy Land Marie Gioia.

Early in the morning, Doflamingo woke up and immediately heard a ghostly voice coming from the room.

"You're awake, kid."

Doflamingo sat up abruptly and saw Dimon sitting on the sofa in his room, legs crossed, flipping through a newspaper.

"Big brother? No, who are you?"

Doflamingo was dumbfounded.

The person in front of me looks about ten years old, and looks a bit like Dimon, but not quite.

"It's just me, a slight change in appearance, don't make a fuss."

Dimon looked down at the newspaper.

This is yesterday's newspaper. While he was kidnapping Shamrock, something of moderate importance also happened in the world.

The Flying Pirates and the Roger Pirates clashed in a battle somewhere on the Grand Line, but the fight ended when the Kuja Pirates suddenly appeared.

Then the entire article was filled with news about Xia Qi, the "world's most beautiful woman" and "idol empress".

What a repressive era!

Golden Lion and Roger are nothing compared to Shakky, who attracted everyone's attention the moment she appeared.

Dimon has gradually gotten used to the style of this era; everyone is too repressed.

"Big brother, why have you turned into a child?"

Doflamingo got out of bed and obediently poured his older brother a glass of water.

Dimon was very satisfied with his training, picked up a glass of water and took a sip to moisten his throat.

"This image makes it easier to move around in the holy land. If your mother asks, just say it's a friend."

How dare you? Aren't you afraid of being exposed and arrested?

Doflamingo was somewhat impressed; it was incredibly audacious. Despite being the mastermind behind the kidnapping, he dared to appear so brazenly in Mary Geoise.

He heard yesterday afternoon that Shamrock had been released, but the matter wouldn't end there.

"By the way, Dover."

Dimon put down his newspaper and asked, "After the Rocks Pirates disbanded, where was Rocks imprisoned? In Impel Down?"

I'm just a kid, how would I know about such things!

Of course, I wouldn't dare say that to his face.

Doflamingo shook his head repeatedly: "I don't know exactly where, but I heard that he is being held somewhere in the Holy Land."

Instead of being locked up in the deep-sea prison, they're locked up in Mary Geoise?

Dimon thought with some surprise, but not entirely.

Rocks is an immortal; even if he's imprisoned on the sixth level of the Great Impel Down, he has plenty of ways to escape.

Five years have passed, and there has been no news at all, which shows that this guy is indeed in a state of being unable to escape.

"Let's go out and ask around."

Do you want to hear what you're saying...?

Doflamingo is numb. Doesn't he know how to spell fear?

Chapter 52 I'm determined to be the leader of the kids!

Following yesterday's kidnapping incident, guards are now a common sight in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise today.

People were patrolling the streets, keeping an eye out for any suspicious individuals.

Dimon swaggered down the street, passing right under the noses of the guards without even glancing at them.

Doflamingo was terrified. He really admired his older brother's mental fortitude. Anyone who didn't know better would think that his older brother was the Celestial Dragon.

"Hey, you idiot, stop staring."

The captain of a patrol team slapped his subordinate on the head and scolded, "That's a Celestial Dragon!"

"Captain, I was looking at another one. Of course I know the Don Quixote boy," the soldier said, sounding aggrieved. "I haven't seen the other one before."

"another?"

The captain was speechless; he really had no tact.

The Holy Land is so vast, and there are so many Celestial Dragons, it's not unusual for some not to have seen it before.

"You're still too young. Don't judge a child by whether they're wearing a Celestial Dragon's white uniform or not. Pay attention to their posture and demeanor," the captain advised earnestly. "That child is clearly a Celestial Dragon!"

That swaggering, arrogant demeanor couldn't possibly indicate he was a slave, and the fact that he was walking side-by-side with Doflamingo Saint suggested they were friends.

The only way to be friends with a Celestial Dragon is with another Celestial Dragon!

Having safely moved away from the patrol team, Dimon seemed unaffected, while Doflamingo breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Big brother, all Celestial Dragons have chips on them. It would be troublesome if they asked us to verify the chips."

Damon remembered this thing; every Celestial Dragon had one.

In the story, after Doflamingo's family descended to Earth, they were retrieved by government officials.

"What is the use?"

"I'm not too sure either. Besides confirming identity, it seems to be able to track, which is similar to the function of a life card."

Vivre cards are made by mixing fingernails into materials. They are a type of paper that represents the life force of the owner. Ace once gave one to Luffy.

It is not afraid of water or fire, and when torn apart, the fragments will point towards each other.

“That’s not important,” Dimon said, then asked, “Is there anyone in the Holy Land who is particularly well-informed?”

"This one……"

Doflamingo braced himself and thought it over, genuinely afraid that Dimon would cause some major incident again.

If he weren't feeling guilty, he could have easily used his Celestial Dragon status to ask anyone.

But he didn't want to be exposed, so he had to find a more roundabout way.

At such a young age, Doflamingo was under pressure that he shouldn't have to bear, and he was sweating profusely.

"I've got it, brother! There's a great place!"

"Where?"

"Those Celestial Dragon brats love to gather together and play slave-killing games. We can start from there!"

What do you mean by "Celestial Dragon brat"? Aren't you a Celestial Dragon brat too?

Dimon glanced at Mingdi; this guy had almost forgotten his own identity.

Soon, the two arrived at a church in a relatively secluded location.

The old church had been abandoned; the newly built church was much more magnificent and located in the center of town.

Led by Doflamingo, Dimon arrived at the church's backyard.

It's very lively here; you can see many Celestial Dragons and little devils gathered together, forming a circle.

The slaves, shackled and handcuffed, fought fiercely within the enclosure, while the little devils cheered excitedly on the sidelines.

"Kill him, Lightner! You used to be the North Sea gang leader!"

"If you lose, I'll starve you for a month, buddy!"

The two Celestial Dragon brats, clearly slave owners, were shouting loudly.

"What are they doing?" Dimon asked from afar as he walked toward the group of kids.

"A slave killing game, brother."

"I know, I'm asking if this is gambling?"

Doflamingo shook his head, revealing a sly smile that belied his age: "Fufufu... This is a battle for fame; the winner will gain immense prestige!"

Dimon: "..."

A bunch of brats talking about reputation?

Roger and his crew of great pirates were vying for the title of Pirate King.

You Celestial Dragons brats aren't so bad either, vying for the position of leader of the kids.

What kind of slave-killing game is this to these little devils? It's probably just like cricket fighting.

Just as the two approached, the slaves' fight came to a conclusion.

The North Sea gang leader, known as Lightner, landed a powerful punch on his opponent's chin, knocking him unconscious.

"Hahaha, well done, Lightner! As expected of a mob boss, buying you as a slave was the right decision!"

A mushroom-headed kid in a spacesuit stood with his hands on his hips, laughing triumphantly: "Hehehe, I won! Who else can beat me!"

The other Celestial Dragons and brats were all unconvinced and started shouting.

"Wow, Malediz is amazing!"

"Damn it, this guy won again!"

"Now's the time to use a war of attrition to kill his slaves!"

Damon was speechless. Is the world of Celestial Dragon brats really that boring?

Doflamingo quickly explained from the side:

"The winner's name is Manmaia Malediz."
