The Grand Line's Fourth Great Power

"The Longevity Wine is indeed a wonderful thing! I've run out of wine with me; I need to go back to the ship to replenish my supply."

Thinking to himself, Dimon patted his behind and stood up.

"Congratulations, Master, on successfully Awakening your Haki." Big Eye immediately offered his congratulations.

Dimon chuckled, "Thanks to Bethany's abilities, the members of the Seven Deadly Sins can also try using this method in the future. Haki, not difficult."

With the help of a human-shaped cheat code and the elixir of Longevity Wine, that's how confident they are.

"It is you, Master, who possess this potential; my abilities merely accelerated the process," Bethany said with a smile.

At this moment, Big Eye picked up the room key from the table and returned it.

"Master, this is your room key. Last night, Lycaon ate a million Beli worth of food, and now the account is empty. The hotel staff are urging us to pay the outstanding amount."

"How many?"

Dimon was stunned. One million Beli was enough for him to eat and drink to his heart's content for a month.

Looking at Lycaon, I saw that he still had a piece of meat with the bone in his mouth, gnawing on it.

Seeing his master looking at him, Lycaon felt rather guilty.

"I ate a little too much, Master."

"... From now on, you'll have to earn your own food expenses."

Dimon waved his hand and instructed the three, "This mission is over. We're going back to the ship. Until then... wait a moment."

After saying that, he turned and went into the bathroom, where he took a cold shower.

After taking a shower and changing into clean, refreshing clothes, Dimon had Big Eye activate his ability.

With a flash of white light, the four of them disappeared from the hotel room and reappeared on the deck of the Wave-Breaking Warrior.

As soon as they appeared, Ship Zuizui immediately popped up, showering them with sycophantic compliments:

"Supreme Master, it is the greatest honor for Ship Zuizui to once again behold your magnificent presence. Your loyal and humble servant awaits your commands."

Dimon was already used to his flattery; it lacked originality and didn't stir any emotion in him.

He tried to unleash his Haki to investigate the situation on the ship.

The newly Awakening Haki was still quite unfamiliar to use, and the detection effect was not very good; nothing was sensed.

His current Haki is merely impressive in scale, but his actual skill level is practically zero.

"Is it just you, Zuizui? Where is everyone else?"

"Master, I'm the only one on the ship now."

Ship Zuizui quickly replied, "Samael's clone was still here last night, but it seems the battle on the main body was too intense, so he recalled the clone as well."

"Still playing?"

Dimon was speechless. One was Marine Admiral, and the other was Logia user who didn't know Haki but was Logia who had become a spirit. There was no way to determine a winner.

Where is Sigma?

"This..." Ship Zuizui stammered, his voice lowering, "He should have caught up, but I don't know where he is now."

Dimon was aware of the situation during yesterday's evacuation, so he simply asked Ain about it.

"Ain, where is Sigma?"

[Master, I don't know either.]

"You didn't leave a clone on him?"

[Yesterday's battle was too complicated; I couldn't keep up with his speed. By the time I noticed, he had already disappeared.]

Ain has created many clones. Apart from his main body, which always stays by Dimon's side, he has as many as six or seven clones. Controlling so many clones at the same time is already a bit of a strain for him.

Sometimes, when controlling this clone and focusing attention on observing someone's situation, the other clone becomes sluggish and unable to respond to external stimuli.

Yesterday's situation was rather unusual. Kizaru's sudden appearance caught him off guard, and by the time he came to his senses, Sigma had already disappeared.

"Forget it, with his abilities, nothing will happen to him. He'll get it back."

After saying that, Dimon led his men into the cabin and into the lounge.

The Ship Zuizui swiftly maneuvered the vessel, delivering him a cup of Wine of Longevity.

Dimon took a small sip. "These two are the newcomers this time, Lycaon and Bethany. Why don't you two get to know each other?"

It says "you all," but it actually only refers to the Ship Zuizui.

Without interrupting their conversation, Dimon communicated with Ain, using his perspective to learn the ship's current location.

This place is above the New World Ocean, at an altitude of about 7,000 meters, very close to the Red Line. If we fly a little further, we can reach the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

The Holy Land is too dangerous; it's the lair of Imu, the King of the World. Dimon has no interest in wandering around there for the time being.

The exact extent of Imu's strength was not fully revealed in the manga before his time travel.

However, compared to current Emperor-level powerhouses, it's probably like a father beating his son—they're not even in the same league.

"Ain, broadcast Samael's situation."

Green Bit, the coast.

The once tranquil island is now riddled with cracks, scorched earth, and crooked, broken reefs, with the coastline riddled with potholes.

The battle between Kizaru and Samael has lasted for nearly 20 hours.

Both being Logia, neither can defeat the other.

Kizaru swung his lightsaber again to block the attack, showing no signs of fatigue and in the same condition as yesterday.

"You've managed to hold me off for so long, you should be proud enough, Wrath young man."

Damn it!

Samael launched a frenzied attack.

This is the first time since the Animation that he has suffered such a severe blow to his confidence.

All his moves were ineffective; as the embodiment of fire, he was powerless against light and could not inflict the slightest damage.

The only real achievement was probably that they exhausted Kizaru's stamina.

Judging from Kizaru's condition, he could fight this intensely for three more days and three nights without any problem.

Haki! Haki!!

Samael harbored a strong desire for Haki.

Thump!

Having blocked another attack, a hint of helplessness flashed across Kizaru's face.

Just as Samael couldn't do anything to him, he was also completely helpless against his opponent. What was the point of such a battle?

He'd been wanting to leave for a while; wouldn't it be better to go back to the warship, have a bowl of ramen, than waste time here?

However, this guy clung to him tightly and wouldn't let him leave.

Do you want to work him to death?

"Hey, Wrath guy, how about we stop here? You win."

"What a joke!" Samael Wrath, as if mocked, "You damned monkey! I'll beat you until you kneel down and call me grandpa!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from nowhere, stopping Samael's pointless actions.

Stop.

The voice was gentle and calm, but it rang out abruptly, instantly freezing Samael in place.

"Master... Master."

He looked up at the sky, his fiery body trembling violently. "Give me... give me a little more time, I'm sure I can..."

"With your current strength, you can't win."

Samael felt a sense of fear; his master's words were calm, but seemed somewhat angry.

The thought of that terrifying little dark room made him tremble with fear.

Seeing his opponent, with whom he had fought all day, in this state, Kizaru couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity.

Just how terrifying is this "master" that a single sentence could Wrath someone into this horrible state?

"Lord of the Seven Deadly Sins, who exactly are you?"

Kizaru raised an eyebrow, seemingly casually initiating a conversation. "Since you're pretty free anyway, why don't you chat with this old man for a bit?"

Am I free?

Dimon thought about it and realized he did seem to have a lot of free time.

Kizaru sheathed his Ama no Murakumo Sword and looked up at the empty blue sky. He had no idea where his master was.

But he knew that God was watching.

The Lord neither responded nor rejected.

So he took the initiative to ask:

Are you a god?

Chapter 74 The Fourth Major Power of the Grand Line

God!

It is not some vague and unfounded fantasy.

For the ignorant mountain people, God may just be a spiritual crutch, or the ramblings spread by certain churches.

But as Marine Admiral, Kizaru knows some secrets that ordinary people don't.

In this world...

God exists!

They are not just vague legends, but real historical figures who existed in the past.

For example... the Sun God!

The god of liberation descended to earth because of the prayers of slaves who had suffered greatly. He symbolizes freedom, joy, redemption, and liberation, and is the liberation warrior passed down orally among the slaves from generation to generation.

After being promoted to Admiral, Kizaru occasionally carried out important missions to protect the Celestial Dragons. During one such mission, he heard the legend of this god from a slave.

Of course, if that were all, he would only think that it was a kind of spiritual sustenance arising from the slave's longing for freedom.

What truly made him understand the existence of God was a friend of his, the world's greatest scientist Vegapunk.

The same information will have different levels of credibility when spoken by different people.

At this very moment.

Kizaru began to have some guesses about the true identity of the unknown entity who Lord of the Seven Deadly Sins.

The first thing to consider is the name of the organization, the Seven Deadly Sins, which itself has a strong religious connotation.

He had personally tested the power of the Wrath of the cadres among them.

Such a powerful being, fearing this "Lord" like a tiger, it's hard not to make him think of God.

Secondly, during the battle with the Wrath, he also asked them, "Who is your master?"

The other person's answer was, "My Lord is God!"

"So, are you a god?"

Dimon was somewhat surprised by the question Kizaru suddenly posed.

The existence of God should be considered taboo, right?

The World Government erased a period of history from over 800 years ago, known as the "Void Century," and the existence of gods is only known through scattered legends around the world.

Unless Kizaru has been to the Giant Kingdom of Elbaf and seen its [Sacred Texts].

As he pondered, Dimon slowly spoke, his voice transmitted through Thought Waves, echoing across the Green Bit coast:
