Two Years Later, the God Valley Incident Erupts

Ever since his falling out with Harald, Rocks had become much more morose.

Dimon learned from the Golden Lion that King of Giants, Harald, had been instigated by the World Government. In exchange for Elbaf joining the World Government, Harald was to kill Rocks.

Dimon didn't know how to comment on this.

Who would actually believe such a thing?

But from another perspective, Harald didn't want to be associated with a notorious pirate. This friendship was, for the most part, a one-sided recognition from Rocks.

Dimon didn't get involved; it had nothing to do with him.

Time flew by, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.

Hachinosu Island, a casino.

A figure was sent flying out of the casino, spitting blood and landing on the ground in a sorry state.

The pedestrians on the street looked on in shock.

"Isn't that 'Blade Demon' Manos, who landed on this island a few days ago?"

"Captain of the Blade Pirates, a user of the Swift Slash Fruit with a bounty of 210 million."

"After only a few days, he's been beaten up?"

Laughter erupted continuously as a crowd gathered to watch the spectacle.

On Hachinosu Island, pirates fighting was an everyday occurrence, happening all the time. However, seeing a pirate with a bounty over 100 million get beaten up was still a bit unusual.

"Cough... Damn it! What grudge do I have against you?"

Manos coughed up a mouthful of blood, his gaze darkly fixed on the casino doors.

A young, handsome figure strode out, standing before the fallen Manos, his gaze as calm as still water.

"Do I need a reason to beat you?"

Manos was furious, and in his rage, he became even more enraged.

Gasps of surprise came from the onlookers.

"It's Lord Dimon!"

"To dare provoke someone from the Rocks Pirates on this island, they're practically asking for death."

"Yaa~~ Lord Dimon, look over here~ over here~"

Dimon heard the shrieks and swept his gaze over, his expression stiffening upon seeing the source.

He thought he'd encountered a female fan, but it turned out to be a cross-dresser!

"You're the Brewer from the Rocks Pirates?!" Manos's pupils contracted in shock. "I've been behaving myself since I landed on this island. Where did I offend you!"

"You didn't offend me anywhere. I just don't like you."

Dimon raised his right foot, Armament Haki wrapping around the sole of his shoe, and kicked down at Manos.

With a deafening roar, Manos's entire head was stomped into the ground, and he promptly lost consciousness.

Dimon bent down, grabbed the man by the collar, and slowly walked away, dragging him along.

The bystanders exchanged glances.

"Did he offend Lord Dimon? The one who came out of the casino, was he a defaulter?"

"Who knows? In the last six months, we've often seen Lord Dimon dealing with newly arrived pirates."

"Yaa~ Lord Dimon is so handsome!"

"Shut up, you cross-dresser, or I'll kill you!"

Meanwhile.

Dimon dragged Manos to the basement where he had first summoned him.

He skillfully took out an Elixir of Immortality injection needle and administered the crimson liquid into the man's body.

Then, he placed his large hand on the man's forehead and silently chanted "devour."

Instantly, Manos's body contorted, dissolving into dust and vanishing without a trace.

Dimon slowly closed his eyes, silently digesting a new source of power.

"The improvements are getting smaller..."

Over the past two years, he had been devouring one person per month, consuming over twenty pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million who had mastered both Armament and Observation Haki.

Now, his Observation Haki and Armament Haki were comparable to Kaido's.

To continue strengthening himself, ordinary targets had gradually lost their significance.

As for Conqueror's Haki...

Even on Hachinosu Island, there weren't many pirates with Conqueror's Haki, and Dimon hadn't encountered any in these two years.

He could devour Kaido, but they were too familiar. Dimon had even become friends with him, so he wouldn't attack his friend.

He glanced at his current balance.

[Demon Points]: 200

"Back to two hundred again. Devil Fruits aren't easy to come by. I need to think of another way."

Over the past two years, the other members of the Rocks Pirates had all found a Devil Fruit and made a deal with him.

He was able to devour a pirate with a bounty over 100 million each month, all thanks to their efforts.

Now, all of them had gained the power of immortality, and no one was left to help him find Devil Fruits anymore.

As for the Roger Pirates, they hadn't come to Hachinosu Island again in two years.

The last time he saw news about them was last year, when the Roger Pirates landed on the immortal island of Mercury, causing a sensation.

"Forget it. I'm already immortal anyway, so taking it easy isn't so bad. I'll go find Shakky for a drink first."

Rejecting the grind!

Dimon tidied up his mood, left the basement, and headed to Shakky's bar.

Walking on the street, the scenery of Hachinosu Island was already familiar to him. He had lived here for two years, and honestly, he was getting a bit tired of it.

The Rocks Pirates would occasionally go out to sea to plunder other countries, but he was too lazy to get involved.

"Dimon!"

Suddenly, Kaido called out to him from behind.

Dimon turned around. "What's up? I was just about to go for a drink. Want to join?"

"I was looking for you. Something big has happened! Come with me quickly, Rocks is gathering forces to head for God Valley!" Kaido said with a serious expression.

God Valley...

Dimon froze. It was Sea Calendar year 1484. The God Valley Incident was finally erupting?

"What's the big deal?"

"I don't know. Linlin told me. Anyway, let's go gather."

Immediately, the two headed to the Skull Grand Hotel together. In the banquet hall on the top floor, they found the entire Rocks Pirates crew.

Rocks was lying on a comfortable single sofa, gulping down a bottle of wine.

"Dimon, Kaido, you're finally here," Stussy greeted them.

Kaido sat down and asked, "Everyone's here. Can you tell us now?"

All eyes turned to the captain.

Rocks grinned. "Dimon, you'll definitely be interested!"

He paused, then stood up and raised both hands. "According to the intelligence I've obtained, the Celestial Dragons are gathering at God Valley, preparing to hold their triennial killing competition. The prize will be six extremely powerful Devil Fruits!"

Upon hearing this, Dimon couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

If he remembered correctly, among the six fruits, one was the Azure Dragon Fruit and another was the Paw-Paw Fruit.

As for the other four, he hadn't deciphered them before his transmigration, but they were likely of the same caliber.

How many Demon Points would one of these fruits bring if he devoured it?

He didn't necessarily have to devour them. If he could snatch one that suited him, Dimon wouldn't mind eating it.

At this moment, Charlotte Linlin suddenly said:

"I've always had a question. Don't we have immortality? A person would explode if they ate a second Devil Fruit, but we can't die. What would happen if we ate a third one?"

This question struck everyone like lightning, leaving them stunned.

Then, fiery gazes turned to Dimon, expecting him to provide an answer.

Dimon was also taken aback. Was this what they called "blindingly obvious"? He hadn't even considered this question.

"Well? Can we eat it?" Charlotte Linlin pressed eagerly. "I've already eaten the Soul-Soul Fruit. It would be great if I could eat a second one!"

"Honestly, I don't know," Dimon shrugged. "Why don't you guys try? Don't blame me if you die."

John said sinisterly, "Why don't we just capture someone and have the test subject try it?"

They were all immortal beings, so who would want to risk their life?

Golden Lion crossed his legs, contemplating the feasibility of the suggestion. "But the cost would be huge. We'd have to turn someone into an immortal first, and then feed them two fruits consecutively."

One cup of the Elixir of Immortality was roughly equivalent to one Devil Fruit, making it three fruits in total.

Rocks burst into laughter and clenched his fist:

"We'll discuss this issue later, you scallywags! Set sail, head for God Valley!"

"This time, Dimon, you'll participate too, right?"

Dimon knew very well that this God Valley Incident was the fuse that would lead to the disintegration of the pirate crew. But now that the entire Rocks Pirates were immortal, they might not necessarily lose.

"Of course."

Not long after, at the port.

The entire Rocks Pirates crew set out, boarding the Jebec Sword and heading towards God Valley.

"By the way, where is God Valley?" Wang Zhi asked drunkenly on deck.

"The West Blue!"
