Admiral "Black Bat," Mammon!
Formless and intangible, similar to [A Breath of Fresh Wind].
If a left hand is okay, then the whole shadow will do, right?
Dimon wanted to try immediately, but he had already used up his chances for today and would have to wait until tomorrow.
He looked up at Squidward and called out:
"N'Zoth."
"Owner!"
Squidward's six tentacles swung rapidly on the ground as it approached Dimon. Its other two tentacles, resembling human arms, gracefully bowed.
"Great master, what are your commands?"
"You try to dwell in this shadow..."
Dimon pointed to the shadow of his left hand on the ground.
Squidward blinked his little eyes and then noticed the monster on the ground.
He was startled, but then gritted his teeth and obeyed the order, transforming into a cloud of black mist and merging with the shadow of his left hand.
The next moment, the shadow's left hand changed shape, sometimes resembling an octopus, sometimes a palm.
It was as if two opposing forces were fiercely vying for control.
Dimon observed quietly until several minutes passed, the struggle seemed to end, and a superimposed voice came from the shadow of the left hand.
"Master (x2)!"
One of the dishes was Squidward, and the other...
Dimon narrowed his eyes slightly. Was the other one himself?
That's right, it was his shadow after all, only his voice was different from his usual one, it was heavier, as if he was clenching his teeth to speak.
How interesting... After his left-hand shadow Animation, it actually possessed consciousness, and it was strong enough to rival the power of Devil Fruit.
"There are still two spots available for the Seven Deadly Sins titles... Never mind, I'll give you a new one."
The titles of the Seven Deadly Sins require at least Emperor-level combat power, and currently only [Sloth] and [Gluttony] have some vacancies.
The new creation before us, whose exact combat power is unknown, is clearly unsuitable for the Seven Deadly Sins.
The Seven Virtues?
Dimon thought for a moment, then chuckled softly:
"The Left Hand of God!"
Squidward was very excited, "Master, I like this title!"
Another shadowy consciousness said, "You are not worthy, you are too weak."
"Huh?"
Dimon let out a soft "Huh?", "Aren't you unable to speak?"
He then realized that the guy had said "master" earlier, and the two voices overlapped, which was why he hadn't thought of that for a moment.
"Master, I am only speaking by using the octopus's power."
"Yeah?"
Dimon nodded knowingly, meaning that once N'Zoth separated from his shadow, the situation would revert to normal.
He grew increasingly curious about what abilities his shadow might possess.
Tell me, what kind of power do you possess?
Chapter 231 "Black Bat" Admiral, Mammon!
"Master, I possess a dual form."
"The form of shadow, and the form of light."
"Apart from that, there is no other force."
As expected, the Shadow of the Left Hand's answer possessed the form of light.
Dimon nodded. He had been thinking, "It's clearly the sunlight that's Animation, so why is it that the shadows are the ones that end up appearing?"
The existence of two sides to the same coin is something that has never been seen in previous Animation organisms.
Seemingly to make it easier for its master to understand, the shadow on its left hand proactively revealed its "form of light".
The palm shadows on the ground gradually disappeared, as if erased from thin air, eventually turning into a soft ray of sunlight.
In its light form, the movement speed of the shadow on its left hand is absurd.
Almost instantly, it appeared behind Dimon, then instantly moved to the end of the garden, flitting swiftly among the flowers like a fluttering butterfly.
Wow, that's fast! It far surpasses my dynamic vision... Dimon was quite surprised; it's practically another version of Kizaru.
No, even Kizaru isn't as fast as it.
Kizaru's movement speed is indeed incredibly fast, but before he moves, he goes through a process of entering Elementalization. Although this process is also brief, at least his Observation Haki can detect it, allowing him to predict the opponent's movement trajectory.
The shadow on the left hand is different; it is light itself, without Elementalization process, so its movement speed is actually slightly faster than Kizaru's.
However, that's all there is to it.
Aside from its speed, the light form of the Left Hand Shadow possesses no special power.
It can neither emit laser light nor penetrate objects.
"That's fine."
Dimon stopped the other person's performance.
The shadow of the left hand instantly returned to its original position, dispelling its light form and transforming back into a palm shadow.
"How fast can you go?" Dimon asked curiously.
Is it the fastest?
The Left Hand of God seemed to be thinking for a moment before answering, "I don't know either. When I move, I need to lock onto the target I want to go to, and then I arrive instantly."
No wonder when moving through the flowers, it's like the "flickering" of a light, you can only see the fleeting moment when the other person stops.
Dimon finally understood. It was fast, but precisely because it was so fast, he had to find the right position in advance to avoid crashing into something.
"Ain, summon Belial and Chaos, and have them wait for me in the King's Hall."
[Understood, Master.]
"N'Zoth, come with me."
"Yes, Master. You bastard, now it's my turn to control the body!"
N'Zoth's voice rang out from the Left Hand of God, expressing strong dissatisfaction with the palm shadow.
Two consciousnesses sharing one body—this had happened before, when Chaos and Ship Zuizui fought for control of the Wave-Breaking Warrior.
The same was true of the Left Hand of God before them; neither consciousness could suppress the other.
When the shadow consciousness gains the upper hand, the Left Hand of God takes the form of a palm shadow; when N'Zoth takes the initiative, the shadow transforms into a black octopus shadow.
Just like right now.
Soon after, in the royal palace, in the royal hall.
When Dimon arrived with N'Zoth, the angel Belial and the box demon Chaos were already waiting there.
"Master, what are your orders? Your humble servant, the amazing Joker, the most frightening Chaos in the world, is happy to serve you!"
What was originally just a small box turned into a terrifying Joker that sprang out when Dimon arrived. Its lower body was connected to a spring inside the box, bouncing up and down in a rather comical manner.
This way of speaking... did you learn it from Ship Zuizui?
Dimon mentally scoffed, then sat on the throne and slowly said:
"From now on, this island will be a base for the Seven Deadly Sins. Chaos, use your power to cover the entire island, including the surrounding ten-kilometer radius of the sea."
"Is it about unfolding Box Garden World?"
"That's right."
Dimon nodded.
Elegia is indeed remote; normal shipping routes can no longer reach the island, as evidenced by the fact that no ship has visited the island in the past seven years.
But who knows, some ships might get lost in the future and be swept here by the waves.
Just in case, having Chaos create Box Garden would prevent this from happening.
At that time, even if a ship does drift to this place, it will be isolated ten kilometers away, and it will be able to cross from one end of the island to the other in an instant, making it impossible to land on the island.
Assuming the opponent is a Haki expert who breaks through the spatial barrier and enters the Box Garden, they will then face layers upon layers of worlds. To completely enter the island would undoubtedly be a pipe dream.
This is, in short,... the Infinite City!
No, it should be called Infinity Island!
This is a good name. Dimon decided to rename Elegia to Infinity Island.
"The second thing..."
Dimon pointed to the shadowy octopus beside him and slowly began to speak:
"He is N'Zoth, who has merged with my shadow. His organization's codename is 'Left Hand of God,' Belial. Go with him to Loguetown in the East Blue, find Roger's body, and resurrect him."
"Yes!"
Belial accepted the order without hesitation.
Upon hearing his Haki title, N'Zoth immediately puffed out his chest with pride.
Upon receiving his master's first task, he couldn't wait to carry it out.
"Master, I'm leaving immediately! Please wait for my good news!"
Having said that, he transformed into a form of light and instantly appeared outside the hall, while simultaneously turning back to urge him on:
"Belial, what are you standing there for? It's a mission! We need to go on a mission!"
Belial: "..."
He remembered that yesterday N'Zoth had called him "Pride Lord," but today he was calling him by his name.
Without dwelling on such trivial details, Belial gracefully bowed to the master on the throne before turning to leave.
As soon as the two left, Chaos maneuvered his body into the air.
"Master, should I set up the Box Garden now, or wait until they are 10 kilometers away?"
"Now."
"Yes, I understand, Master. Now..."
The scary Joker clapped his hands and shouted:
"Awakening Technique· Box Garden World!"
The tiny, frightening box rapidly expanded, soon surpassing the size of the royal palace.
Strangely, it pierced through the palace without causing any damage; space itself seemed to distort and deflect around it.
The box continues to grow, hundreds of meters, thousands of meters, tens of thousands of meters...
A giant box completely enclosed Infinity Island.
If you were to observe this scene from ten kilometers offshore, you could clearly see a huge island gradually shrinking until it was the size of a fist.
Such a tiny thing is hard to spot on the vast ocean.
Infinity Island, complete!
Enies Lobby.
The final battle for the selection of the Admiral was held in the primeval forest outside the base.
