Arc 1The Storyboard Auction
Dimon animated the Vampire Fruit and gathered allies and powers while pursuing the Flame-Flame Fruit, rescuing Ed, and capturing Lola. At Sabaody, he entered a black-market auction for the Storyboard Fruit, where the Marines and the Bad Kid Pirates also bid.
- Dimon animated the Vampire Fruit in Sleepy Town, named the awakened being Mammon, and sent him to gather blood so Dimon could gain longevity.
- Dimon left Sleepy Town aboard the animated Ship Zuizui, trained with Cedric, and obtained the Snail-Snail Fruit from Colonel Ed, which he animated into Ain.
- Dimon crossed the Calm Belt, found Ace and Deuce on Sixis Island, recovered the Flame-Flame Fruit, and animated it into Samael of Wrath.
- Dimon rescued Ed from Isaac the 'Undying,' then sent Mammon with Ed to Marine Headquarters to establish a Marine identity and investigate Punk Hazard.
- Dimon had Samael invade Moria’s lair and capture Lola, then animated the recovered Shusui and learned it could fight with Armament Haki.
- Dimon used Lola to contact Charlotte Linlin and demand Devil Fruits, then ordered Samael to capture any Sweet Commander sent after them.
- Dimon reached Sabaody, met black-market owner Azshara, and learned that the Storyboard Fruit would be auctioned in three days.
- Dimon attended the auction alongside Mammon, Ed, and other Marines, submitted a bid for the Storyboard Fruit, and entered the second round after five bidders tied at 300 million Beli.
