The news that Rocks's child was about to be born greatly shocked Kaido.
"You know her? Which woman?"
"I don't know. He let it slip once while drinking here. That was all half a year ago."
Shakky shook her head, most of her attention focused on Dimon. "How does the liquor I make compare to yours?"
Dimon savored the margarita Shakky had mixed. It was a traditional cocktail, and he had loved drinking it before his transmigration.
"Not bad."
Kaido clearly could not stand that assessment and said disdainfully, "It can't compare to a single drop of Elixir of Immortality."
Where's your emotional intelligence, Kaido?
Dimon thought to himself. Does this brute even have such a thing?
Shakky merely chuckled softly. "Is that so? If there really is such delicious liquor... then I want to try it more and more~"
"Bring a Devil Fruit, and you're welcome to find me anytime." Dimon returned her smile.
"But Devil Fruits aren't so easy to obtain either." Shakky sighed. "I'm not a captain anymore. I have to look after this bar."
Dimon offered her an idea. "All the pirates on this island are your fans. Why not ask them to help you look for one?"
Shakky's eyes lit up. "Good idea~ Thank you, Dimon."
Gloriosa curled her lip. "Restrain yourself. Your charm is useless against him, isn't it, Dimon?"
Dimon did not respond. He was not gay and did not like men, but liking women and liking bootlickers were two different things.
They sat in Shakky's bar for an entire day. Honestly, with several beautiful women chatting with him, it was not boring at all.
From the gossip of the three women, Dimon heard many stories about the Rocks Pirates' past.
For instance, Whitebeard and Golden Lion had been among the first members to join.
Kaido had been recruited into the pirate crew by Whitebeard, so Whitebeard and Kaido had a fairly good relationship.
There was also Charlotte Linlin. Gloriosa often said she gave birth like popping popcorn, and she already had several children.
Charlotte Katakuri, the future Charlotte Family's right-hand commander, was already eight years old, the same age as Abel.
That night.
They returned to the Elixir of Immortality 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 fists. "I want to become as powerful as you!"
Dimon raised his brows. To be honest, his current strength ranked dead last in the pirate crew.
If they only compared physical strength, he was a little stronger than Kaido, but his Haki was far inferior.
Devouring Sea Kings could only strengthen his physique; it could not improve his Haki.
However, he still had quite a few Demon Points. If he used them all to devour pirates skilled in Haki, reaching Kaido's level should not be a problem.
"Then you'd better train hard."
Just as he spoke, a tall figure appeared outside the bar.
The man had an X-shaped scar in the middle of his broad chin and a black tattoo across the front left side of his torso.
"Xiong."
Dimon recognized him. They had met once at the Skull Grand Hotel. Seeing that Xiong's hands were covered in blood, Dimon asked in surprise,
"Visiting late at night? Is something the matter?"
"It's only a little past eight. It's not late at night."
Xiong was expressionless and unsmiling. His right hand was stained with blood as he held out a treasure chest.
"As agreed, one Devil Fruit for one glass of Elixir of Immortality!"
At those words, Dimon immediately smiled. He accepted the chest and opened it. Sure enough, there was a Devil Fruit inside.
"What kind of fruit is this?"
"I don't know."
What a taciturn guy.
Dimon did not mind. As long as it was a Devil Fruit, that was enough.
"Wait here. I'll get your drink."
He handed the chest to Abel for safekeeping, then walked behind the bar. Using the counter to conceal himself, he spent 100 Demon Points to create a bottle of Elixir of Immortality on the spot.
Demon Points: 400→300
"Here."
Dimon poured a full glass and handed it to Xiong.
Without another word, Xiong drank it all in one gulp right in front of him.
His expression visibly blanked for a moment, as though he had not expected the Elixir of Immortality to taste so exquisite.
"Good liquor!" Xiong praised it in an even tone. "Thank you for the drink. Goodbye."
With that, he left.
He had come quickly and left just as quickly, handling everything with decisive efficiency.
Abel returned the treasure chest to Dimon and asked, "Lord Dimon, was that man also a member of the Rocks Pirates?"
"Yeah, one of the core members." Dimon waved a hand. "There are empty rooms on the second floor. Pick one and clean it yourself."
"Yes!"
Abel immediately went upstairs.
Dimon sat down and took out the Devil Fruit from the chest. Without the slightest hesitation, he decisively devoured it.
Devoured one Devil Fruit. Obtained 800 Demon Points. Demon Points: 300→1100
"Eight hundred!"
Dimon was slightly startled. It was eight times that of an ordinary Zoan. What kind of fruit was this?
Then, looking at his balance of 1,100, he suddenly thought of the cost of unlocking a new skill.
"It seems 1,000 points can unlock the second demon skill..."
No sooner thought than done, Dimon decisively activated the second skill.
He had to activate it sooner or later. The sooner he did, the sooner he could enjoy it.
Demon Points: 1100→100 You have unlocked Demon Skill Two! Demon Skill One: Create Elixir of Immortality Demon Skill Two: Demon Form Demon Skill Three: Locked Demon Skill Four: Locked
There had been no fourth skill before, but after unlocking the second one, another had appeared.
Dimon closed his eyes as an incomparably vast amount of demon knowledge flooded into his mind.
A moment later, he roughly understood the new skill.
Demon Form: Reveal the posture of a demon.
The skill description was simple. Moreover, it seemed to be a skill that could grow.
"Abel, I'm heading out."
After calling toward the second floor, Dimon immediately headed outside.
Before long, he reached the island's northern shore. It was sparsely populated, and few people came here. It was completely different from the bustling south side.
Dimon clenched both fists as black arcs of electricity flickered around him with crackling sounds.
In an instant, a pair of pitch-black demon wings emerged behind him.
He tried flapping them, and Dimon rose into the air.
I can fly too now. This is great! Dimon thought happily as he flew over the sea and looked down at the water in the bright moonlight.
The sea reflected his appearance. Compared to his human form, his Demon Form had not only gained a pair of wings, but his entire aura had undergone a tremendous transformation.
Noble and mysterious.
In Demon Form, I can draw pentagram magic arrays like Imu... So Imu really is a demon, isn't he?
As Dimon pondered this inwardly, he extended his right index finger and swiftly traced a pattern through the air. A pentagram magic array was instantly inscribed in the void.
"Is this... a Teleportation Magic Array?"
