Paramecia: Time-Time Fruit

Sizzle!

Sizzle!

Crimson Inazuma erupted from Dimon's body. When the crimson lightning swept across a certain part of the sea, the seawater, which had been turned into rubber and jelly, was immediately destroyed by the Haki power and returned to the original state of seawater.

The Artificial Nika stared in astonishment at this scene. Could his Haki really neutralize his power?

He pushed himself up from the ground and, after observing for a moment, suddenly his eyes lit up.

"I get it, is this what Haki is?"

He clenched his fists, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and the next moment, the same Conqueror's Haki was released from his body.

Boom!!

A powerful aura swept across the surrounding area.

But that's all.

Dimon smiled with satisfaction and said:

"Conqueror's Haki can be roughly divided into 5 stages."

"You've already skipped the first stage, the unconscious release."

"The second stage is conscious control, which allows you to intimidate specific targets or launch indiscriminate attacks over a wide area. Your skill level has just reached this stage."

"The third stage, the Conqueror's Haki entangling, such as when wrapped around a fist or weapon, can greatly enhance both attack and defense."

"In the fourth stage, with increased skill level, Conqueror's Haki no longer needs to be bound to specific objects; it can be directly applied to combat and even used to break through an opponent's abilities from a great distance."

A key characteristic of this stage is that the Conqueror's Haki will form a stringy, textured effect.

Like Red-Haired.

In the original storyline, Red-Haired could unleash a burst of Conqueror's Haki from tens of kilometers away, briefly stunning Ryokugyu Aramaki rendering him immobile for a moment.

Dimon had already reached this stage before.

In the endless desert of Alabasta, he also defeated Crocodile's Elementalization form with Conqueror's Haki from tens of kilometers away.

The Artificial Nika was completely bewildered.

Dimon shook his head helplessly, slowly extended five fingers, and then explained:

"Then, the fifth stage..."

Chapter 237 Paramecia -type Time-Time Fruit

"Huh? Can Conqueror's Haki's Haki get even stronger?"

The Artificial Nika gaped in astonishment. The fourth stage already sounded outrageous, so what would the fifth stage be like?

Dimon smiled and said slowly:

"The fifth stage of Conqueror's Haki can even be stored in certain specific objects, transcending endless time, and released at some point in the future."

"The most prominent characteristic of Conqueror's Haki at this stage is..."

"One person alone can tear the sky apart."

The so-called "single-person sky-shattering"!

Whether Imu can do it, Dimon doesn't know, but at least Joey Boy can.

In Egghead there is an ancient robot, and the robot carries a knot on its body.

Once this knot is untied, the Conqueror's Haki stored up by Joy Boy over 800 years ago will be released all at once.

In the original storyline, the Straw Hat Pirates were able to escape successfully thanks to this thing.

"The person who has reached this level is named Joey Boy, but he has been dead for many years."

Joey Boy...

The Artificial Nika covered his forehead, feeling that the name was somewhat familiar.

Noticing his unusual behavior, Dimon couldn't help but ask:

What came to mind?

"I don't know, I just suddenly have a bit of a headache..."

Artificial Nika took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

Dimon narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

As the second-generation Sun God Nika, Joey Boy was defeated by a coalition of 20 nations led by Imu.

He is obviously dead; if he Undying, the Gum-Gum Fruit could not be reborn.

However, many One Piece fans from the previous generation speculated that Joy Boy's will after his death would reside in the Gum-Gum Fruit.

Even conspiracy theories abound, as Luffy has been influenced by Joy Boy's consciousness since his Awakening.

Dimon remained skeptical of this speculation, but what was happening before his eyes made him somewhat uncertain.

Before this, the Artificial Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika had absolutely no idea of the name Joy Boy, yet it would react to that name.

Could it be that the fruit truly harbors the will of Joey Boy?

Even if it were true, it wouldn't matter to him. The fruit he had given Animation possessed absolute loyalty.

Dimon is not worried that the Artificial Nika will be influenced by Joy Boy's will.

Moreover, this is just a replica made using Luffy's blood.

"Alright, enough of the small talk, let's continue."

The battle then continued.

Through practical experience, Dimon quickly taught his opponent some knowledge about Haki.

Observation Haki, Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki.

For a god-level Devil Fruit, learning the Three Types of Haki isn't particularly difficult. Conqueror's Haki Awakening after just one hit, while Observation Haki and Armament Haki took a little longer.

"When Observation Haki reaches an advanced level, one can see into the future several seconds in advance; this ability is called 'Future Sight'."

"An advanced application of Armament Haki is called 'Internal Destruction,' which involves directly injecting Haki into the target's body to cause destruction from within, thus greatly increasing its power."

In short...

"Regardless of the type of Haki, once cultivated to an extremely high level, it will ultimately possess considerable power."

The high cliff in front of the royal palace on the main island.

The Seven Deadly Sins watched the battle from a great distance.

"The master really favors this newcomer, personally instructing her. I'm so envious."

"That's a 'god-level fruit,' a fruit that carries the title of a god."

"Clearly a demon, yet bearing the title of god, Nika, the Sun God... Unfortunately, I have no memory of the first Sun God."

"Speaking of divine titles... if Samael were here, he would surely boast that he is the 'God of Flames'."

"The Sun God refers to the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika, so what fruits did the other gods of ancient times possess?"

While observing the battle, the group discussed information about the gods.

Sun God, Earth God, Forest God, Rain God, Sea God...

Of the five known gods, aside from Nika, almost nothing is known about the other four.

"Loki's Nidhogg is also a god-level Devil Fruit, right? What kind of god is he?" Bethany asked curiously.

The "He" she spoke of did not refer to Loki, but rather to the fruit Loki had eaten.

Kuranos fell into deep thought. "The world-destroying black dragon shouldn't be among these five gods."

"Don't you have any relevant information in your memory?" N'Zoth asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads.

Everyone's oldest memory is different, but no one can remember things from more than 800 years ago.

Faced with this situation, Kuranos proposed a conjecture:

"I have been reborn more than seventy times before, and each time my consciousness is worn down."

Perhaps those of us present have been reborn too many times in the past, losing our memories of ancient times in each cycle of reincarnation.

Upon hearing this, Bethany raised a finger.

"That's possible. Perhaps only those Devil Fruits have been reborn very few times can remember things from a long time ago. But where can you find such a fruit?"

On the rubberized sea surface.

Dimon blasted the Artificial Nika away again. After a brief combat test, he had a general understanding of the opponent's actual combat strength.

At this stage, even disregarding Haki, the Artificial Nika already possesses combat abilities at the level of an Emperor. If he were to fight Kaido -on-one, he could probably defeat Kaido.

Most importantly, the Artificial Nika possesses almost limitless stamina.

Even if He defeats His opponent time and time again, He can rise again and again as long as the Drums of Liberation sounds.

They're practically Undying!

As expected of Luffy's clone, he's got the sit-up routine down perfectly.

Let's stop here.

Dimon stopped attacking and smiled faintly, "Your current strength is indeed impressive, and you have great potential. Train your Haki diligently, and I hope that one day you can reach Joey Boy's level."

He wouldn't be satisfied with being 80% as good as Joey Boy, let alone comparable to him.

The Artificial Nika patted its belly. "Master, I have no idea how powerful Joey Boy is. How can I judge the difference between myself and him?"

"Let's try to reach the fifth stage of Conqueror's Haki first."

Dimon shook his head and said nothing more. He threw out Shusui and returned to the palace on his flying sword.

Ain's voice echoed in my mind:

[Master, Kuranos and the others were just talking about something interesting...]

He told Dimon about the conversation among the demons.

Rebirth, wear and tear...

After listening, Dimon seemed to be deep in thought.

To be fair, Kuranos's theory might actually be quite plausible.

If it's Devil Fruit with a very limited number of reincarnations, after it's Animation, it might remember things from over 800 years ago.

Does such a fruit exist?

After all, over 800 years have passed. Whatever kind of Devil Fruit it is, it must have reincarnated at least dozens of times, right?

"Um?"

Suddenly, Dimon's brow twitched slightly.

He thought of a Devil Fruit, a fruit whose reincarnations could happen very few times, perhaps only once or twice!

Paramecia - Time-Time Fruit!

The most recent host of this fruit was Kozuki Toki.

A woman who traveled through time, from 800 years ago.

After arriving in the modern era, this woman met Kozuki Oden, married him, and had a son and a daughter.

In Kaido's plan to seize Wano Country, Kozuki Toki ultimately died under countless arrows.

After that, the Time-Time Fruit disappeared without a trace.

"If you calculate the time, it's only been twenty or thirty years since Kozuki Toki's death? No, less than twenty years!"

Dimon recalls the plot.
