Demon Skill Three: Parasitic Fruit

"What do we do next? Head to Flower Capital and kill Kozuki Sukiyaki?"

Kaido took a breath and sat down to recover his strength.

He reached for his waist, wanting a drink, but found his gourd had been destroyed in the fight. He let out a grunt of annoyance.

"Have you heard the saying? It's easier to conquer a kingdom than to rule one."

"I haven't studied," Kaido said irritably. "I was trained as a warrior from a young age. Just tell me the plan."

Dimon chuckled and said, "I'll go back to Hachinosu for a bit to gather some subordinates. You watch these people for now."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.

The next moment, a Pentagram Magic Circle appeared beneath their feet.

Kaido's eyes narrowed. "You can do this too? Back in God Valley, someone from the Holy Knights teleported in using a magic circle like this."

"It's not exactly the same, but it's close. I'm leaving now, I'll be back soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, black mist enveloped Dimon, and he vanished in an instant.

The Pentagram Magic Circle on the ground remained.

Kaido observed it for a moment, then nodded in realization. "So that's how he got back to Hachinosu from God Valley..."

Having spent over two years with Dimon, he found the man increasingly mysterious.

Considering Dimon's Immortality, he might be an ancient monster who had lived since the olden days.

Hachinosu Island, Elixir Bar.

In the second-floor bedroom, black smoke rose from the Pentagram Magic Circle on the floor, and Dimon appeared silently.

He first took out the five top-tier Devil Fruits he had obtained from the storage locker, then went downstairs to the bar.

The bar was quiet, with no customers.

Seeing Dimon come downstairs, Abel immediately stood up to greet him:

"Lord Dimon."

"Go and call Orsea and the others. Everyone."

He didn't have many useful people under him at the moment, apart from Abel, there were only the remaining guards of the Kingdom of Cho.

Abel didn't ask any questions and faithfully carried out the order.

After he left, Dimon placed the five Devil Fruits on the table one by one.

One of them was the Paramecia-type Paw-Paw Fruit; the other four were unknown.

"It's a shame Rocks was captured. I didn't get a chance to ask him about the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia."

Dimon thought for a moment, picked up a fruit, and silently swallowed it.

[Consumed one Devil Fruit, gained 1000 Demon Points.]

A system prompt flashed before his eyes. Dimon thought, As expected.

As expected of a prize from God Valley, one top-tier fruit was worth more than ten trash Animal Fruits.

Without hesitation, he consumed the remaining three, leaving only the Paw-Paw Fruit.

[Consumed one Devil Fruit, gained 1000 Demon Points.]

[Consumed one Devil Fruit, gained 1000 Demon Points.]

[Consumed one Devil Fruit, gained 1000 Demon Points.]

[Demon Points]: 4200

An overnight fortune!

A smile tugged at the corner of Dimon's mouth. It was worth the effort of snatching these fruits from God Valley.

Well... it wasn't that much effort.

He just snatched them up casually!

"The previous skill unlock was 1000 points, and Skill Three..."

Without hesitation, Dimon decisively chose to unlock Skill Three. Money was meant to be spent, not saved.

[Demon Points]: 4200 → 2200

After spending a full two thousand points, the description for Skill Three appeared on his status panel.

Name: Dimon

Rank: Demon

Demon Points: 2200

Demon Skill One: Create Elixir of Immortality

Demon Skill Two: Demon Form

Demon Skill Three: Parasitic Fruit

Demon Skill Four: Locked

Demon Skill Five: Locked

"Parasitic Fruit? What is this..."

Dimon clicked on the detailed description of the skill and was stunned after reading it.

[Parasitic Fruit]:

Creates a Devil Fruit. After the fruit is consumed by someone else, everything the consumer sees and hears will be under the demon's watch.

When the consumer completes the awakening of the Devil Fruit, the demon's consciousness will be activated, and it can transform the target into a demon servant.

Demon servants will obey the demon.

[Creation Cost]: Any Devil Fruit, 300 Demon Points, a trace of the demon's consciousness.

"The demon in the description... refers to me, right?"

Dimon mused, looking at the last remaining Paw-Paw Fruit.

"Might as well give it a try."

No sooner said than done, Dimon picked up the Paw-Paw Fruit and activated the Parasitic Fruit skill.

A sliver of his soul seemed to split off and attach itself to the Paw-Paw Fruit.

Then, he spent 300 Demon Points to make a slight modification to it.

The original Paw-Paw Fruit was spherical, its surface covered with multiple circular bumps of varying sizes, and its overall color was light pink, resembling a pile of stacked paw-paws.

After the skill modification, faint black spots appeared amidst the light pink.

If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

"It's done already?"

Dimon played with it in his hand for a moment, contemplating who to give it to.

He definitely couldn't eat it himself; it would be meaningless if he did.

"Give it to Abel?"

"Giving it to him would also be meaningless. The special thing about the Parasitic Fruit is that as long as the person who eats it completes the fruit's awakening, they can be turned into my subordinate."

Abel already listened to him, so eating it would just be a waste.

After thinking for a moment, Dimon's mind flashed to someone.

"Kuma and the others should still be on this island. In the original story, this fruit was originally eaten by him. Giving it to him would allow him to unleash its full potential. Maybe with some effort, he can awaken it..."

It was worth a try, and there was no harm in failing.

After all, the change from the Parasitic Fruit was permanent, even if the fruit were to respawn.

If Kuma failed to awaken it and died, there would naturally be another host.

Immediately, Dimon activated his Observation Haki and searched Hachinosu Island for Kuma's presence.

Hachinosu Island, south coast.

There was a garbage disposal area here.

Ginny and the others were rummaging through the trash for food. The hungry children didn't care about dirtiness as long as it was edible.

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, they only found a few crusts of bread.

"Ah, I can't stand it anymore, let's just steal some!" Ivankov sighed.

Ginny shook her head. "No, boss Ivankov, this is a pirate island. If we get caught stealing, we'll definitely be killed!"

Ivankov said helplessly, "How about we go to that bar? That person named Dimon, he was quite friendly and kept his word."

"That person is so dangerous..." Ginny was a little afraid of Dimon.

Just then, a light chuckle was heard.

"How am I dangerous, little girl?"

Ginny trembled all over and turned to see Dimon, immediately covering her mouth. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to speak ill of you behind your back."

"It's okay, here's some money for you."

Dimon took out a stack of one million Belly and threw it to Ginny. Then he looked at the dull-looking Kuma and smiled.

"I took your Devil Fruit earlier, and now I'll give it back to you."

Seeing the Paw-Paw Fruit being thrown over, Kuma instinctively caught it.

Ivankov's eyes widened. "You're really giving it back to us? This is the Paw-Paw Fruit, heh-ha!"

"If you don't want it, I can give it to someone else."

"Wuwuwu! Brother Dimon, please take me as your subordinate!"

Kuma, who was gifted the fruit, didn't speak, but Ivankov had already grabbed Dimon's pant leg, crying and begging to be taken in.

Dimon's eyes twitched, and he looked disgusted. "Don't wipe your snot on my pants."

"Yes, I'm sorry, Big Brother!"

Ivankov immediately knelt down and apologized profusely with a kowtow.

"..."

Too lazy to bother with him, Dimon glanced at the still-dazed Bear.

"This island is a pirate island. It's very dangerous for children like you to be here without protection. This fruit can help you increase your strength."

After speaking, he left.

Watching Dimon depart, Ivankov sadly beat his chest, "Big Brother doesn't want me..."

Ginny said blankly, "So he was a good person?"

The little girl blinked and turned to look at Bear, "Kuma-bro, eat it quickly! When you're strong enough in the future, you can repay Lord Dimon!"

First, he saved her life, and now he'd given her a Devil Fruit. Ginny had already changed her address to "Lord."

Bear nodded silently, "Okay!"

Wano Country, Kuri.

In the mountains.

Black mist appeared within the Pentagram Magic Circle. Kaido immediately looked over. After the mist dissipated, a group of people appeared before him.

"You're back? Your ability is so convenient!"

"I just handled a little personal business."

Dimon turned and ordered, "Abel, round up all those who are unconscious."
