A Chance Encounter with Rayleigh / A Blood-collection Plan Targeting Conquerors

This ability might be less effective against powerful Haki individuals, but there are no such Haki masters on this ship.

Mammon nodded and asked:

"Did the master send you?"

"My master has collected the blood of some powerful individuals and needs your assistance."

After saying that, Bethany took out the blood bag, which contained about 40,000 cc of blood, or about 40 kilograms.

Upon opening the blood bag, a strong, pungent smell of blood wafted out, but the surrounding marines remained completely oblivious.

"Knew."

Without further ado, Mammon immediately used his powers to transform this fresh blood into an elixir of Longevity Wine.

40 kilograms of blood, after being transformed, will only be about one-tenth of its original volume.

The pungent smell of blood had transformed into a strong fragrance, arousing an intense craving in anyone who smelled it.

Unfortunately, Devil Fruit have become sentient.

They only look like "people," but they are not human in essence.

For these demons, the Longevity Wine immortality, while not entirely without effect, would have a very weak effect.

"As expected of Lord Greed, if humanity were to learn of your abilities, it would absolutely drive them mad."

Bethany offered a compliment, then took out a lancet filled with another sample of blood.

"There's one more thing here, from a pirate named Bullet. Please take care of it as well."

"If you have any more, take them out too."

There really aren't any this time.

Mammon completed the transformation of the last sample of blood and said expressionlessly, "Once the mission is complete, leave immediately."

"Can't we chat a little longer, Mammon? I've heard quite a bit about you on the ship."

"Get out! How long do you want your master to wait?"

Mammon clearly didn't waste any more words.

Bethany smiled helplessly, put away the Longevity Wine, and activated her teleportation ability in front of Mammon.

Meanwhile, the Wave-Breaking Warrior.

Dimon soon received the Longevity Wine delivered by Bethany.

He poured some into a wine glass, but before drinking it, he had a sudden idea.

"What would happen if I Animation the blood of these powerful beings, transformed by Mammon's abilities, and then drank it?"

This reminded him of Luffy's blood, which, after Animation, became a blood-red little man. That little man possessed some of Luffy's instincts and could even imitate the Gum-Gum Fruit's techniques quite well.

Instead of overthinking, why not give it a try?

Dimon immediately Animation the Longevity Wine in the glass. After infusing it with the golden energy of Animation, this time the wine in the glass did not form a blood-red figure, but was only covered with a faint golden light.

It's like sprinkling some gold dust onto the surface.

No change?

Dimon glanced at it for a moment, then picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The moment the golden-tinged Longevity Wine entered his mouth, almost instantly, a Haki, unlike Observation Haki or Armament Haki, erupted from his body.

Boom!!

Black and red Inazuma, like drawn threads, turned the captain's cabin upside down, and even the ship itself, the Wave-Breaking Warrior, trembled violently.

In that instant, Samael, who was training his Haki in the gym, Sigma, who was sleeping on the observation deck, and Shichibukai, the Hanafuda imprisoned in the punishment room, were all startled and opened their eyes almost simultaneously.

"Conqueror's Haki?"

Chapter 122 An Encounter with Rayleigh

Dimon never expected that he would Awakening Conqueror's Haki under these circumstances.

He quickly suppressed his aura and his frenzied Conqueror's Haki, and the captain's cabin quickly returned to calm.

Looking down at his right hand, black and red Inazuma occasionally burst from his palm. Unlike Armament Haki and Observation Haki, Conqueror's Haki contains a strong personal will within its energy.

The Conqueror's Haki's Haki is not only an energy surge, but also possesses psychological destructive power.

"This is Conqueror's Haki...?"

Dimon gradually gained a clear understanding, and his knowledge of Conqueror's Haki was no longer just a vague concept.

As the rarest and most unique of the Three Types of Haki, Conqueror's Haki cannot be improved through training. He did not understand this before, but he immediately understood it after he Awakening his Conqueror's Haki.

The strength of Conqueror's Haki is not just about the level of energy, but most importantly, it contains "will"—this will of a conqueror is the key.

"Among those prisoners on the sixth level, there are quite a few with Conqueror's Haki's Haki; they are all seasoned veterans."

"The blood of these people was first transformed by Mammon, and then Animation, thus awakening the domineering will contained within their blood."

"And after I drank it, my body... or rather my soul, in order to fight against this chaotic will, instead activated its own Conqueror's Haki."

Dimon mentally reviewed what had just happened, his expression rather subtle.

As the "first Awakening," his Awakening process was completely different from others.

For example, Ace, Katakuri, Doflamingo, and others all Awakening when they were young because of external crises that caused strong emotional fluctuations, which triggered a certain switch within their bodies.

He didn't experience any strong emotional fluctuations when drinking; it was simply a natural bodily reaction.

Would this method of Awakening work on demons? The effects of the Longevity Wine of immortality on demons are too weak, it seems impossible... Dimon thought about it seriously and decided to try it later. If it failed, it would just be a waste of a glass of wine.

"Let's return to the Sabaody Archipelago first, take a few days to reflect, and process what we've gained this time."

Thinking of this, Dimon immediately tapped the table, summoned the Ship Zuizui, and ordered it to return to the Sabaody Archipelago.

That afternoon, the Wave-Breaking Warrior landed over the Sabaody Archipelago.

The ship, hidden within the Box Garden, is only the size of a palm, and the surrounding space is distorted, making it impossible for ordinary people to detect its existence.

Dimon left the rest of the crew on the ship and returned to the hotel in District 70 alone.

He prepaid for the room and instructed the hotel staff not to come in and clean daily without his permission.

White lines outline a cubic space, and Dimon steps out from the storyboard and appears in the living room.

Having not stayed there for several days, everything in the room was exactly the same as when I left, so it seems the hotel staff really hadn't entered without my permission.

"However, staying in hotels all the time has its inconveniences; we'll need to prepare to buy a property."

Dimon took off his Big Eye costume, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and changed into some clean, casual clothes.

When choosing which sword to carry, Dimon thought carefully and finally left Shusui and Raiu behind, taking only Jijue with him.

The Famous Sword, Shusui, was used too frequently, making him easily recognizable and causing his identity to be exposed.

Once Big Eye's identity is confirmed, he won't be able to stay in the Sabaody Archipelago.

As for the Famous Sword Raiu, this sword was stolen by Lycaon from Shiryu. It is not yet Animation and is not convenient to carry around.

Of course, if he really has to use them, he can also use the teleportation array to bring the two swords over.

"Let's buy a house first and move out of the hotel."

With the Jijue hanging at his waist, Dimon walked out of the room and downstairs in a good mood.

When the hotel receptionist saw Dimon, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she covered her mouth in astonishment.

"Mr. Zoro, when did you get back? I haven't seen you for so many days."

Good afternoon. I went on a long trip and just got back this morning.

Dimon greeted her politely. Having lived at the hotel for a long time, he had gotten to know the receptionist and they would greet each other politely whenever they met.

The receptionist sat behind the counter, a newspaper spread out on the table. Her curious gaze fell on someone behind Dimon, and she blinked, asking:

"I didn't expect to find your entourage. Did you come back alone?"

Follower? He must be referring to Lycaon... Dimon's heart stirred slightly. When Lycaon had just Animation, he had been eating and drinking heartily in the inn's restaurant, which might have left a deep impression on him.

Now that Lycaon is wanted, anyone who wants to compare the two can easily tell that they are the same person.

After all, Mink Tribe are rare, and they all have dog heads, so it's hard not to make the connection.

This is a huge flaw... but it's just a minor issue.

Dimon shook his head without showing any emotion:

"He was just a bodyguard I hired, but he left because he thought I paid too little."

Then, changing the subject, he asked, "I recently made some money hunting pirates and I'm planning to buy a property in the Sabaody Archipelago. Do you have any suggestions?"

The receptionist's eyes lit up, and her tone became much warmer.

"You've come to the right person!"

Next, Dimon learned a lot about the procedures for purchasing real estate from the other party. After getting the information he wanted, he politely said goodbye and left.

In short, there is no private land in the Sabaody Archipelago; everything here belongs to the Celestial Dragons and is directly under the jurisdiction of the World Government.

To legally purchase property, you must go to the local government office and find the real estate transaction office.

Various documents need to be submitted during the purchase, and regardless of whether these documents will be verified afterward, Dimon has abandoned this method.

Fortunately, in addition to legal properties, there are also Lawless Zone in the Sabaody Archipelago.

In areas 1-30, buying property is much simpler. All you need is money, or even no money at all. You can just grab a building. As long as you're not afraid of trouble later, it's not a big problem.

"The Lawless Zone is amazing..." Dimon thought to himself, then headed towards area 30 and below with great interest.

We walked at a leisurely pace, crossed a wooden bridge, and entered Zone 11.

As soon as I stepped into this place, I saw a lively scene.

An elderly man with a full head of silver hair and wearing round-framed glasses was blocked in his way by a group of young and strong men.

One of them shouted in a shrill voice:

"Old man, you bumped into me, didn't you? Pay up right now, 1 million Beli, hand it over!"

Did I bump into you?

The silver-haired old man held a tin wine pot in his hand, his face showing a look of astonishment.

Dimon, who was walking from a distance, paused, thinking to himself that this was indeed Lawless Area, where extortion and swindling were commonplace.

However, this group was unlucky; they actually provoked this old man...

Silvers Rayleigh, the former Roger Pirates, the right-hand man of the Pirate King, nicknamed "Pluton".

This old man was a famous figure in his youth, possessing unparalleled domineering presence, Haki, and physical prowess.

If he could draw a vial of Rayleigh's blood... how could he possibly do that? This old man is quite powerful. Dimon fell into deep thought.

Just then, Rayleigh seemed to notice his gaze and immediately shouted:

"Hey, young swordsman over there, aren't you going to help this old man who's in trouble?"

Dimon slightly twitched the corners of his mouth, then his gaze immediately sharpened.

Thump!

A black Inazuma flashed from the corner of his eye, Conqueror's Haki suddenly swept out, instantly causing those idle street thugs to roll their eyes and collapse to the ground, unable to get up.

Rayleigh froze for a moment, his face filled with astonishment.

Conqueror's Haki?!

Chapter 123 The Blood-Draining Plan Targeting the Overlords

It was Conqueror's Haki's Haki... Rayleigh had no idea what was happening before his eyes.

"You must be Zoro?"

This time it was Dimon's turn to be surprised, "You know me?"
