Red-Haired's Face

[Not only Whitebeard, but also Kaido's Beasts Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and the Red Hair Pirates, all appeared on Hachinosu.]

"The others are one thing, but why is Red-Haired going there too?" Dimon, somewhat surprised.

I'm not sure.

[They first encountered each other at sea, resulting in a chaotic battle, then landed together on Hachinosu, and are now sitting together drinking.]

Ain's tone was very subtle.

The relationships between pirates are truly peculiar. One moment they're fighting to the death, and the next they're like friends meeting again, even sitting down together for a drink.

"The Four Emperors gathering?" Dimon thought for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. "That's really interesting. The Navy must be terrified by this news."

Thinking of this, he suddenly became curious.

Give me the footage.

Hachinosu, Skull Hotel.

The huge banquet hall had only five people.

Ochoku stood there, his face ashen, staring at the four scoundrels drinking and laughing together.

That year, at 68, standing like a lackey, I swore I would kill those four bastards. What did they think Hachinosu was? This was my territory!

"Hahaha, drink up, drink up, drink to your heart's content, don't be shy. I have plenty of good wine here!" Ochoku laughed heartily.

"Mama, didn't you prepare any dessert?"

BIG·MOM grinned, staring at Ochoku with hostility.

Ochoku cursed under his breath, "You old hag, I'll make you regret this! How was I supposed to know you'd come here?"

Just then, Charlotte Linlin frowned and suddenly looked up at the ceiling.

"Hmph, who's there!"

"Huh?"

A surprised exclamation suddenly rang out, causing everyone present to change color.

How did you find out?

Dimon was somewhat surprised; this was the second time Ain had been noticed, the first time being Imu.

"I'm very sensitive to fluctuations in the soul!"

"I see..."

It's quite reasonable that Devil Fruit User could sense Ain's soul fluctuations.

Dimon smiled, his voice echoing in the banquet hall:

"Nice to meet you, esteemed heroes of the sea. You may address me as your master."

Chapter 217 Red-Haired's Face

"Host?"

"The Lord of the Seven Deadly Sins!"

The people present were all at the pinnacle of the pirate world. Upon realizing that there was a sixth person in the banquet hall, their Observation Haki immediately locked onto Ain's clone.

"I just happened to glance in this direction. You can't find me, so don't waste your Haki," Dimon reassured with a light laugh.

The others searched but found nothing; they could only vaguely sense the presence of an aura.

Charlotte Linlin suddenly stood up and spoke in a cold voice:

"You bastard, you took two of my Devil Fruits back then, don't think you can leave so easily this time, Zeus!"

She shouted, and a white cloud flew in through the window.

Charlotte Linlin grabbed Zeus and then punched Ain from a distance.

This punch unleashed purple lightning, and for a moment, the banquet hall seemed to be in the eye of a thunderstorm.

Seeing this, Whitebeard suddenly stood up and threw a punch, blocking Charlotte Linlin's attack.

"What are you doing, Newgate! Get out of the way, or I'll beat you up too!"

"Gurarara... This person has done me a favor, I can't let you attack him in front of me."

The Whitebeard grinned and said, "Aren't you curious why I've become young? The answer is that I drank something called 'Longevity Wine'."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of those present varied.

Shanks was at his peak, only 34 years old, and had little interest in the youth-restoring drink; he was more interested in the Lord of the Seven Deadly Sins himself.

Kaido, on the other hand, showed interest in the so-called Longevity Wine, but not to regain his youth; he was simply addicted to alcohol.

The person who reacted the most was actually Ochoku.

Upon hearing about the Longevity Wine, he was initially shocked, but then a look of intense Greed appeared on his face.

Dimon took in everyone's expressions and smiled gently:

That wasn't a favor, it was just a transaction.

You mean a deal?

Ochoku spoke up, "Since it's a transaction, I wonder if I could trade this wine with you?"

"Ochoku, a former member of the Rocks Pirates, left after the God Valley Incident, returned to Hachinosu, seized control of the island, proclaimed himself its lord, and established the Hierophant Pirates."

Dimon slowly explained the other person's identity and background.

The name Ochoku reminded him of a famous pirate in Chinese history.

However, the appearance of the Founder Ochoku in front of us is somewhat abstract.

He has a thick, long neck, a chin piled high with fat, and his tongue sticks out when he speaks, forked like a snake.

She wore a loose purple top, a yellow-green cape, and wide-leg floral pants.

He spoke with a cunning expression, not like a good person.

"You want the Longevity Wine?"

"That's right! Since you're willing to trade it, it means this thing isn't a particularly valuable treasure to you, and you have enough worth to exchange for someone else's wealth."

Ochoku looked up and stared intently at the location of Ain's clone, afraid that if he blinked even for a moment, his Observation Haki would lose its ability to sense the other party.

"I'm 68 years old this year, and it's time for me to think about my lifespan! Just tell me what you want!"

"You're quite frank."

Dimon seriously considered the other party's proposal.

The ordinary Longevity Wine was piled up in the warehouse of the Wave-Breaking Warrior and was no longer of any use to him, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to trade it.

In fact, he had this idea when he first learned that Mammon could make Longevity Wine.

However, at that time, our strength and influence were too weak to guarantee the safety of the transaction, so we gave up.

The situation is different now. The Seven Deadly Sins now have more than ten members, and their strength has undergone a dramatic change.

"You all know very well what I need."

Devil Fruit!

Ochoku's expression darkened slightly. Gold and silver treasures would be easy to obtain, but acquiring Devil Fruits was on a completely different level.

However, given the allure of youth, using Devil Fruits as a bargaining chip cannot be entirely unreasonable.

How do I trade?

"You have?"

"Hehehe... What do you think this place is? This is Hachinosu, a pirate's Paradise. If I don't have it, do you think anyone else doesn't?"

Ochoku smile. As pirates, most of them believed in one principle: if you want something, you have to take it yourself!

Dimon didn't care where Ochoku got the Devil Fruit; seeing the other party's strong desire to trade, he immediately agreed with a smile.

"Sure, one Devil Fruit in exchange for a cup of Longevity Wine."

"One cup?!"

"One cup is enough to restore your youth and allow you to live a second life."

Ochoku wanted more, but now he was the one asking for a favor, and there was no room for negotiation.

"I understand. I'll prepare the Devil Fruit soon. How should we trade then?"

"You can call out the name Ain."

At this point, Dimon turned to look at the others.

Besides Red-Haired, Kaido and Big Mom both showed signs of interest.

"If either of you is also interested in a deal, I would welcome it as well."

Upon hearing this, Charlotte Linlin snorted coldly and said:

"You bastard, you stole two fruits from me before, don't you owe me an explanation? Do you think I'm dead?"

"Let me correct you on one point, BIG MOM. That wasn't robbery, that was kidnapping and extortion."

Charlotte Linlin was so angry she laughed, but unfortunately, Whitebeard was blocking her way, so she couldn't retaliate.

Not to mention, this formless and intangible entity before them doesn't seem to be the other party's true form either, but rather some kind of clone.

"Oh, hehehe... Old woman, you still want to look young again?"

At this moment, Kaido couldn't help but laugh.

Charlotte Linlin looked displeased and glanced at him sideways. "When I was young, I was a stunning beauty loved by everyone. Kaido, what are you trying to say?"

"Don't fool yourself. When you were young, Shakky was the one who was adored. Nobody cared about you at all."

Kaido's smile grew increasingly unrestrained.

It's hardened, its fists are hardened!

Charlotte Linlin exuded Haki of dominance, and her terrifying Conqueror's Haki caused the entire Skull Hotel to tremble slightly.

"You brat, it seems you've forgotten the kindness I showed you back then, after all these decades."

"Kindness? What kindness?"

"That day at the God Valley, I gave you the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon. You owe me that for a lifetime!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I clearly stole it! You were planning to leave that fruit to your brats!"

The two men each held their own version of events, and it looked like they were about to fight.

Whitebeard stepped back a few paces, giving them space to do as they pleased.

Seeing Red-Haired had no choice but to stand up and say:

"Gentlemen, please give me some face..."

"What face do you have, Red-Haired!"

"You're less than a dog to me, you brat from Roger's ship!"

Dimon chuckled. These pirate emperors getting together, they were bound to fight.

In comparison, it was indeed not easy for Rocks to subdue this group back then.

Shanks's "face-saving fruit" has failed.

Ignoring Red-Haired's warnings, Charlotte Linlin prepared to teach Kaido a lesson. She raised her hand and shouted:

Napoleon!

On the front of the hat on its head, the skull opened its eyes.

"Yes, Mom."

The hat transformed into a large sword and fell into Charlotte Linlin's hands.
