Dimon temporarily stored the five Devil Fruits and went downstairs.
Abel was the only one in the bar, and he immediately stood up when he saw Dimon coming down from upstairs.
"Lord Dimon, a group of people appeared in the second-floor warehouse just now."
"Where are they?"
"They've all left. Do you want to pursue them?"
"No need to bother. Let them go."
Dimon was only responsible for escorting Ginny and the others away from God Valley. What these people wanted to do afterward, or where they wanted to go, had nothing to do with him.
After giving Abel some instructions that no one was allowed to enter the second-floor bedroom, Dimon walked out of the Elixir of Immortality Bar with a light step.
A short while later, at Shakky's bar.
Shakky smiled as she poured Dimon a margarita and asked curiously:
"Didn't you go to God Valley? Why are you back so soon?"
"I came back alone. They're still fighting fiercely over there."
Dimon wondered what the outcome of the battle was.
There were many enemies at God Valley, and even Harald was involved. He wasn't sure if the Rocks Pirates could win.
Come to think of it, they probably couldn't win.
More than ten Divine Knights, Elder Saturn, and Vice Admiral Garp.
These forces alone were already troublesome. If the situation turned bad, the other four Elders could intervene at any time.
It was even possible that Imu himself would descend.
"What is there in God Valley that made you all go out?" Shakky blinked her eyes.
"Six top-tier Devil Fruits."
Dimon pondered for a moment, then added, "That's the official story. Rocks must be looking for something there."
"Looking for what?"
"This is just my speculation. You can just listen to it as a story."
The key point was Saturn.
Saturn's position was "Scientific Defense Warrior." Generally, the Elders rarely descended to the lower world. His appearance there must mean something important was hidden in God Valley.
Something related to technology, and something that would interest Imu.
Then, the answer was obvious.
"Have you heard of Ancient Weapons?"
"Ancient Weapons?" Shakky rested her chin on her hand, her interest piqued. "I've heard of them. Legendary superweapons with the power to destroy the world."
"I guess Uranus, one of the three Ancient Weapons, is hidden in God Valley. That's why the Celestial Dragons chose to hold a killing game on that island."
Dimon swirled his wine glass and chuckled, "After clearing out all the natives, they can slowly search for that thing."
"Why not Poseidon or Pluton?" Shakky asked in surprise.
Of course, it's because I know where the other two are.
Poseidon is Princess Shirahoshi, who hasn't been born yet. Pluton is slumbering in Wano Country, a super battleship.
Dimon thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Shakky, the Rocks Pirates are likely to fall apart, and this island will become very dangerous. You might want to consider fleeing."
"Huh?" Shakky froze.
Three days later.
A piece of news caused a sensation on Hachinosu Island and made it onto the World Economic News, spreading throughout the world.
The once-dominant Rocks Pirates were defeated at God Valley, and their members scattered.
The news described it as "Marine Hero" Garp, in alliance with the legendary Roger Pirates, defeating the Rocks Pirates.
"The Rocks Pirates have disbanded?"
"Are you kidding me!? Were all those monsters defeated?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! I saw Lord Dimon strolling through the red-light district yesterday!"
"They probably had an internal conflict. Their teamwork was zero..."
"What... What is that in the sky? A dragon? An Azure Dragon!!"
The pirates on Hachinosu Island found it hard to believe that the Rocks Pirates had been defeated.
Amidst the chaos, an Azure Dragon descended, drawing countless gazes.
Shakky's bar.
Unlike usual, the bar was closed to customers today.
Dimon pushed the door open and scanned the few people at the bar, raising an eyebrow:
"Only a few of you made it back?"
Charlotte Linlin drank her alcohol, glancing at Dimon as he entered, her tone laced with a hint of helplessness.
"There was a traitor!"
"Who's the traitor?"
Dimon counted the remaining people.
Kaido, Golden Lion, Whitebeard, Stussy, Gloriosa, Long John Silver, and Charlotte Linlin.
Only seven people.
"Where's Rocks?"
"He was captured," Whitebeard said, also drinking. "That idiot was ambushed during his fight with Harald, then surrounded, and finally defeated."
"The traitor is 'Silver Axe'!" Golden Lion exclaimed, looking extremely displeased.
Silver Axe.
Dimon hadn't interacted with him much, but he left a deep impression.

The Devil Fruit this person gave him was worth 800 Demon Points.
"Silver Axe was always a World Government agent... he joined the Rocks Pirates just to infiltrate," Gloriosa explained.
Dimon sat down and asked, "What about the others?"
"Don't know. Some ran, some were defeated while we were on the island," Kaido said calmly, crossing his arms. "After I ate the Azure Dragon Fruit, I escaped with these people you see here."
"One margarita."
Dimon ordered a drink and then asked, "So, what do you plan to do next? Go to prison to rescue him?"
As soon as he said this, pairs of subtle gazes all turned towards him.
Stussy covered her mouth and chuckled, "Dimon, you're truly kind."
Golden Lion scoffed, "Whoever wants to rescue him can. Let that idiot Rocks stay in prison honestly, heh heh heh."
With that, he was the first to get up and leave.
"The Rocks Pirates end here. I'm going to establish my own pirate crew. Who wants to join me?"
Evidently, no one responded.
Golden Lion invited Dimon, "Dimon, you'll join me, right?"
"Farewell."
Golden Lion's mouth twitched. "At least give me your contact information. I might need to trade Elixir of Immortality with you next time."
Seeing a potential business opportunity, Dimon finally gave him a contact number.
After getting the number, Golden Lion left contentedly, looking refreshed and invigorated.
Charlotte Linlin patted Kaido's shoulder and grinned, "I'm going to build a nation where all races can live equally. Kaido, kid, come help me?"
"I don't want to," Kaido said with disgust.
"You owe me a favor. Do you think who gave you your Azure Dragon Fruit?" Charlotte Linlin said indignantly.
"I'll repay the favor, but joining your pirate crew is out of the question."
Kaido still refused.
Charlotte Linlin then turned to Dimon, "Dimon, come with me. We'll have a child and inherit your brewing talent!"
"..."
Dimon felt a chill run down his spine and quickly waved his hands, "Spare me, I'm scared of you."
Saying that, he threw a piece of paper with his contact number on it.
"Farewell."
"What a heartless man!"
Charlotte Linlin also left. Long John Silver followed her without a word.
They founded the BIG·MOM Pirates together. After being defeated by Rocks, they joined the Rocks Pirates.
Now that the Rocks Pirates had disbanded, it was time to restore the glory of the BIG·MOM Pirates.
Seeing this, Gloriosa looked at Shakky and suggested, "Shakky, our lovesickness is gone now. Should we go back to Amazon Lily to see our daughter? I feel a bit bad for leaving the Kuja Pirates to Tritoma before."
"That's true. Without the protection of the Rocks Pirates, Hachinosu Island isn't safe anymore either."
Shakky nodded and winked at Dimon, "I'll look for Devil Fruits to trade with you for Elixir of Immortality. Give me a contact number too."
"Here."
Dimon tossed a piece of paper.
He had been prepared, having guessed three days ago that the Rocks Pirates might be finished.
Now, looking at it, it was indeed the case.
But it didn't make much difference to him. He had already passed his initial development phase and was now a powerful figure on the seas.
"Gurararara, one last drink, and I'm off too."
Whitebeard raised his mug and drank with the few remaining people, then stood up and said, "I can't stand that idiot Rocks anymore. The pirate crew I'm going to build will be like family. Dimon, you..."
Before he could invite him, Dimon refused first.
Whitebeard laughed, "I wasn't inviting you, you're too much trouble!"
Three days ago, Dimon had already returned in advance. How did he do it? There were clearly secrets involved.
However, Whitebeard was too lazy to ask anymore. The Rocks Pirates had been an unpleasant chapter in his pirate career.
He also got Dimon's contact information, then picked up Murakumogiri and left the bar.
In the blink of an eye, only a few people were left in the bar.
Dimon looked at Stussy, "What about you?"
"Ara, are you concerned about me?" Stussy smiled lightly, "Actually, I received an invitation from the MADS Organization a while ago. I'm planning to go there and take a look. I heard they are researching something very great."
The MADS Organization, also known as the "Peace Institute," was headed by the genius scientist Vegapunk.
"Good luck."
"Thank you."
Stussy took out a slip of paper, kissed it, leaving a lipstick mark:
"This is my Vivre Card, I'm giving it to you. Come find me when you have time, goodbye, Dimon~"
Dimon looked at the Vivre Card that was stuffed into his hand, feeling a bit helpless. When did this woman start acting this way towards him?
It seemed to be after the Roger Pirates visited two years ago.
Stussy originally liked Whitebeard, but Whitebeard wasn't interested in her. Did this woman set her sights on him now?
He decided to accept the Vivre Card for now, and Dimon patted Kaido, grinning:
"Kaido, interested in conquering a country together?"
"Conquer a country? Where?"
"Wano Country!"
