However, he likes it!
"Oh, hehehe, that makes sense. The Celestial Dragons are good stuff. If we capture them, we can exchange them for ransom from the World Government. This is a long-term business."
The others stared speechlessly at the two interns. "You've turned capturing Celestial Dragons into a business?"
Rocks grinned and said, "That's settled then. But five fruits can only be exchanged for five cups of wine. How are you going to divide them?"
Everyone present except Kaido needs it.
Lox definitely took one cup, and there are four more left.
Golden Lion, Whitebeard, Longbread, Charlotte Linlin, Gloriaosa, Stussy...
The six people stared at each other, their eyes flashing with an unsettling light, as if they might turn on each other at any moment.
Seeing this, Dimon shook his head secretly.
No wonder the Rocks Pirates, who were once so powerful and invincible, fell apart two years later. A group of pirates with their own ulterior motives would fight amongst themselves at the slightest provocation.
When Rocks was alive, he could keep everyone in check. But after he died, no one was willing to submit to anyone else. They scattered like birds and beasts. What else could they do?
"I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry yet."
Dimon stepped forward again, smiling, and said, "Five fruits can make five bottles of wine, a total of 20 cups, which will be enough for each of you. This time, consider it a discount on my service."
"Well done, as expected of our brewer." Lox smiled and said, "You don't need to argue anymore, thank Dimon!"
And so, the atmosphere became harmonious again.
A new world, a certain sea area.
A warship drifted on the sea, and Admiral Sengoku stood at the bow, gazing at the man floating in mid-air ahead.
"The supplies are ready, but where are the Celestial Dragons?"
"Hehehe, take out the Devil Fruit and let me see it first. I don't trust your Navy!"
The golden lion laughed wildly.
How could one not be excited to soon obtain the Elixir of Immortality and gain the power of eternal life?
He was sent to make the deal, and he had to make sure everything went perfectly!
Upon hearing this, Sengoku looked at Vice Admiral Tsuru beside him.
Crane held a treasure chest in her hand and opened it in front of Golden Lion, revealing five Devil Fruits of different shapes.
"The stuff is here! Release the people, and these are yours."
Golden Lion narrowed his eyes, using his Observation Haki to ascertain the situation on the ship.
The only noteworthy combat capability on the warship seems to be Admiral Sengoku.
While pondering, the Golden Lion suppressed the thoughts in his heart.
There's no need for that. As long as the transaction goes smoothly, he can obtain the Elixir of Immortality. If he turns his back now and messes things up, the others will definitely not let him off the hook.
Golden Lion snapped his fingers, and the next moment, two Celestial Dragons floated down from the high-up pirate ship, the Sword of Giebeck, and came to his side.
"Give me the Devil Fruit first, then I'll release them!"
"That's impossible!" Vice Admiral Tsuru said calmly, "If you don't trust us, how can we trust the pirates?"
The two sides remained deadlocked for a long time, neither willing to give in.
Finally, the Warring States period, suppressing his humiliation, coldly ordered, "He, give him the thing."
They had no choice but to submit, as it concerned the Celestial Dragons, and the Rocks Pirates held the upper hand.
"The Warring States period... I understand."
The crane reluctantly agreed.
Fortunately, the hostage exchange went smoothly, and after obtaining the Devil Fruit, Shiki released the two Celestial Dragons.
"Hehehehe, thank you for the gifts. Just wait, you'll be amazed! Hehehehe..."
Amidst unrestrained laughter, the golden lion soared higher and higher until it disappeared into the sea of clouds.
The brother and sister Celestial Dragons landed on the warship, and someone immediately went to untie them.
The female Celestial Dragon roared in fury: "Too slow! You bunch of useless trash, the Marines are all useless! You let me get captured by pirates! How hateful! My wrist is broken, call a doctor!"
Sengoku's lips twitched slightly. He immediately sent someone to fetch the ship's doctor, then patiently asked:
“Gregory Saint, those pirates didn’t do anything to you, did they?”
Compared to his arrogant and domineering sister, the Celestial Dragon seemed much calmer: "They want Devil Fruits, it seems they want to brew wine..."
The Warring States and the crane looked at each other in bewilderment.
Chapter 9 [5 Million Bounty] and [Idol Empress]
The Sword of Gibbeck, deckhouse.
Everyone, whether standing or sitting, had their eyes fixed on the five Devil Fruits on the table.
"I've seen the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, and these five... ha, they really are trash fruits."
Rocks took a swig of a bottle of liquor.
"It doesn't matter what kind of fruit it is, it's for making wine anyway." The Golden Lion crossed his legs, also holding a wine glass.
Whitebeard asked curiously, "What kind of fruit is it?"
In response to his question, Lockes immediately provided an answer.
Zoan type: Rabbit Fruit.
Zoan type: Ox-Ox Fruit.
Zoan type: Snake-Snake Fruit.
Zoological type: Mouse-mouse fruit.
Paramecia type: Key-Key Fruit.
"Huh? There's another Paramecia-type?" Dimon said in surprise.
All four Zodiac-type Devil Fruits are Chinese zodiac animals, which doesn't sound like good Devil Fruits, but Paramecia-type Devil Fruits are generally not too bad.
Rocks explained, "The Key-Key Fruit allows one to transform their fingers into any key, enabling them to open all the locks in the world."
“Thieves would love this.” Stusky shook his head.
Whitebeard said in a deep voice, "Now that we have the goods, Dimon, how are you going to brew the wine?"
"It will take a little time. We will let you know when it is ready."
In fact, it could be made immediately, but in order to show the difficulty of brewing, Dimon deliberately delayed it for a while.
Upon hearing this, Lox asked, "How long will it take?"
"About half a month."
"Wow, so fast... How was it brewed?" Charlotte Linlin asked, her face full of curiosity.
"It's a secret, just wait and you'll get to drink it."
After a pause, Dimon chuckled, "Once you drink the Elixir of Immortality, you will remain in the state you were in when you drank it forever. You'd better think it over carefully before you drink it, because I don't offer any remedies for regret."
“Of course I’ll drink it while I’m young. I don’t want to get old,” Stussy said excitedly.
Even powerful women care a great deal about their appearance and youth.
Charlotte Linlin is not included.
If she cared about her appearance, she wouldn't have eaten so many sweets and become so fat in the future.
A week later, the group returned to Beehive Island.
Rocks gave all five Devil Fruits to Dimon. He was a magnanimous pirate who believed in trusting those he didn't trust.
He entrusted the fruit to Dimon with complete peace of mind, not at all worried that Dimon would run away with the spoils.
Of course, Dimon wouldn't run away; he'd still need the Rocks Pirates to continue collecting Devil Fruits.
He returned to the Immortal Bar with five Devil Fruits.
Despite being closed for more than half a month, the bar remains clean, and Orsia comes to clean it every day.
"Lord Dimon!"
Upon seeing Dimon return, Princess Chaoyin excitedly went to greet him.
"What are you so happy about?"
"I saw the newspaper, Lord Dimon! It's all over Hive Island now that you've captured a Celestial Dragon!"
Suddenly remembering something, Orsia quickly took a newspaper from behind the bar and found a wanted poster inside.
"Lord Dimon, your wanted poster!"
Why are you so happy that I'm wanted?
Dimon couldn't help but roll his eyes at her, then reached out and took the wanted poster, his expression growing increasingly disgusted.
[Brewer Dimon]
Rocks Pirates members
Bounty: 500,000,000 Berries!
How many zeros are there?
Before Dimon could even count, Orsia excitedly exclaimed, "It's 5 million Berries!"
5 million? What have I done to deserve such a high bounty? It's the same as Kaido's!
Dimon inwardly groaned, staring at his wanted poster, the more he looked, the more something seemed off.
When was this photo taken?
It seems that when they encountered the Celestial Dragons, as they walked past Garp... in the background of the headshot, you could still see half of Garp's silhouette.
“The photographer’s got some skills; I didn’t even realize I’d been photographed.” Dimon handed the wanted poster back to Orsia. “Just throw it away.”
"Ah? No! I want to stick it on!"
"up to you."
This bounty figure is definitely wrong. Who would offer a bounty of 5 million on their first try?
Dimon pondered that it was probably because he had broken the female Celestial Dragon's arm and was being retaliated against in private that he received such a high bounty.
Orsia went to post the bounty posters with great enthusiasm. For her, she was happy as long as the Celestial Dragons were in trouble.
Dimon ignored the little girl, walked behind the bar, sat down, opened the box, and took out the five Devil Fruits inside.
He picked up one of the rat-rat fruits and silently recited the mantra to swallow it.
In an instant, black smoke swirled around his palms, like a monster's gaping maw swallowing a Devil Fruit.
After the fruit disappeared, the black smoke settled into the palm of the hand.
At the same time, a system notification appeared in Dimon's field of vision.
[Consuming a Devil Fruit grants 100 Devil Points.]
[Demon Points]: 0 → 100
"Finally, I've made some money. I wonder if the Devil Fruit I devoured will be reborn?"
Dimon thought to himself, if he couldn't be reborn, it meant that Devil Fruits would become increasingly rare.
However, it's not a big problem. According to Vegapunk's research, Devil Fruits are born from human wishes.
Who knows, maybe a new Devil Fruit will appear.
Continue to devour the other few, each worth 100 points.
It wasn't until he devoured the Paramecia-type Key-Key Fruit that things suddenly changed.
[Consuming a Devil Fruit grants 200 Devil Points.]
[Demon Points]: 400 → 600
