One Piece: Starting with the Immortal Rocks Pirates

Dimon shook his head. The fact that Yamato turned out the way it did was probably largely due to the fact that he didn't have a mother.

Kaido, that brute, has no idea how to take care of children.

At that moment, another male pirate opened a package, inside which lay six Devil Fruits.

"Give it all to me?"

Dimon glanced at them; he had already memorized the shapes of the three hundred fruits in the encyclopedia, so he could easily recognize what these six were.

Two Paramecia-type, four Zoan-type, one of which is an Ancient Species.

Zoan type, Ox-Ox Fruit, Ancient species, Giant Rhinoceros form.

As for the two Paramecia-type...

Paramecia-type Float-Float Fruit and Paramecia-type Bubble-Bubble Fruit.

Both of these are Paramecia-type Pokémon that he is quite familiar with.

The former differs from the Float-Float Fruit by only one character. The user of the Float-Float Fruit is named Michita, who appeared at Whiskey Peak in the original storyline.

The latter is consumed by Kalifa of CP9.

At this point in time, neither of these women has been born yet.

"Here you go. I need to build an undead army, and I need a lot of the Elixir of Immortality!"

"good idea."

Dimon put away the package, activated the teleportation magic circle, and sent the six Devil Fruits away.

He then conjured a bottle of elixir of immortality.

This bottle of wine materialized in Loguetown, and Roger drank one of the glasses.

"There are three glasses left in this bottle, here you go. I'll give you another bottle later, that should be enough for now."

"Six fruits for seven cups of wine, and the extra cup of wine is a gift for your daughter."

Yamato will definitely drink in the future, so it's reasonable for his Uncle Dimon to give him a gift in advance.

Kaido grinned, took the Elixir of Immortality, and poured a cup for Barrett.

"Drink it, drink it down, and you will gain even greater power!"

Barrett took the glass and looked at the mysterious red liquid inside, feeling a surge of excitement.

The immortality that countless people crave, he obtained so easily; Kaido is indeed generous to his subordinates.

He was a soldier in a unit of child soldiers, where everyone was named after a "bullet".

The unit commander's name was Douglas, and he was a Barrett with a No. 9 bullet, hence the name Douglas Barrett.

Kaido was on a foreign expedition, and his unit was dispatched to stop the pirates from landing.

In the first battle, his entire army was wiped out, and he was the only one who survived after being defeated. Kaido, seeing his outstanding strength, invited him to join the Beasts Pirates.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Kaido!"

Barrett tilted his head back and drank it down in one gulp.

Then, another immortal appeared on the sea!

Chapter 95 Harvesting the Remnants of the Old Era

Barrett is not being addressed for the time being.

While holding Yamato, Dimon sat down cross-legged and reminisced with Kaido.

"What expeditions have you been on during this time?"

"They just captured a few islands casually, nothing to mention."

He said it was nothing to mention, but Kaido's face showed a hint of smugness.

The islands that were conquered were all brought under the rule of the Beasts Pirates, and the Beasts Flag was flown in the ports.

Kaido learned a lot from Damon. Instead of annihilating those countries, he adopted a strategy of "using the prince to command the king" and captured the heirs of several countries.

For the sake of their sons' safety, the kings had no choice but to obey and hand over large amounts of treasure every month.

With this financial support, the Beasts Pirates have expanded rapidly and now number over 10,000.

This does not include the troops stationed in Jiuli.

"Not bad, you've learned your lesson," Dimon praised.

"Have you always thought of me as a brute? I'm just too lazy to use my brain!"

Kaido curled his lip.

"By the way, after watching the live broadcast of the execution in Loguetown, I passed by Beehive Island on my way back. That place is now ruled by Wang Zhi."

"I even fought him."

Is Wang Zhi in the beehive?

Dimon's eyes flashed.

The remnants of Rocks's faction were scattered like stars in the sky; they were hard to find unless they showed themselves.

Now that a new era has arrived, it's time to harvest these old-fashioned dishes from the past.

Next, the two sat facing each other, drinking and chatting, talking about many things.

Several hours later, as dusk approached, Dimon finally got up to say goodbye.

"I need to go to the research institute next. I'll return my daughter to you."

Yamato fell asleep in his arms, and Dimon carefully returned the child to Kaido.

Kaido is very tall, but baby Yamato is no different from an ordinary child.

Oni Island is located south of the main island of Wano Country, about an hour's flight away.

At Dimon's flying speed, it would only take a few minutes to reach the skies above Onigashima.

This was his first time visiting the island.

Completely different from the ghost island of my memory, a scientific research institute has now been built here.

The arrival of Dimon caused quite a stir at the research institute.

This is an angel investor who invests a lot of money in the research institute without considering returns. The construction cost of the research institute alone would be worth billions of dollars outside.

Not to mention the continuous investment in scientific research funding!

There is no better name than this!

Many scientists conduct research here, most of whom came because of Vegapunk.

Upon seeing Dimon, the group of scientists excitedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Mr. Dimon! It's a pleasure to have you visit this punk research institute!"

"Please, this way, please. We'll go and notify everyone at the research institute right away!"

Faced with the crowd's enthusiasm, Dimon simply waved his hand and said, "Don't be so dramatic. Just tell Vegapunk."

Soon, Dimon was led to a living room.

A short while later, Stussy arrived first. She was wearing a white lab coat and a pair of women's glasses, and looked very refined.

"Dimon~ Long time no see~"

"Seriously, you haven't come to see me in ages."

Since Damon left with Roger's crew, Stussy has been staying at the research institute, and the two haven't seen each other for at least a few months.

At this moment, she rushed into Dimon's arms like a swallow returning to its nest, pouting her lips as she tried to get close to his face.

"Wait, someone is coming."

"What does it matter? Let's kiss!"

Dimon helplessly covered her mouth and pushed the woman away slightly.

Click! The door to the lounge was pushed open, and Vegapunk, Caesar, Queen, and Judge walked in together.

Upon entering, I saw the couple entangled on the sofa, and I couldn't help but facepalm.

"Hehehe... Did we come at the wrong time?" Caesar chuckled.

"No, you came just in time."

Dimon pushed Stussy away from his embrace and said directly, "Dr. Vegapunk, I have a favor to ask you."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Damon, regarding Pluto Fuel..."

"Let's put this aside for now; I'm very patient with fuel research."

Dimon waved his hand, indicating, "Have a seat."

Seeing that he wanted to get down to business, Stuart didn't press the matter further and obediently got up to pour coffee for the group.

After Vegapunk and the other three sat down, Damon continued:

"If a Devil Fruit user dies, is there a way to regenerate his Devil Fruit ability within a certain range, such as an island?"

"Control the scope of regeneration?" Vegapunk immediately understood Damon's meaning, and after a moment's thought, said, "I can conduct this research if needed."

"how long it takes?"

"I can't give an exact timeframe, but there should be progress within a year."

"Then I'll trouble you. Oh, and there's one more thing."

Dimon then changed the subject, raising another question: "You probably don't know this, but if an immortal eats a second Devil Fruit, their original abilities will disappear. Is there a way to make those disappeared abilities revert back to Devil Fruit powers?"

Undead have the advantage of free stat reset.

However, the ability to be washed away can be reborn. If one can control the disappearance of the ability and turn it back into a Devil Fruit, then it would be very convenient to change the fruit's ability.

Vegapunk was utterly astonished; it was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.

"This is very worthy of research! I think these two questions have something in common and can be regarded as a type of research project!"

"Then I'll leave it to you, Doctor."

Dimon completely treated Vegapunk as a wish-granting machine.

Regardless of whether the wish will come true, just make it first, what if it comes true?

"One last question, regarding artificial Devil Fruits. I would like to ask you to create an artificial Devil Fruit, any kind will do, I want to see the results as soon as possible."

One is enough.

He plans to test whether consuming artificial Devil Fruits can bring him Devil Points; if so, he will consider mass production.

If that doesn't work, then forget it.

"Artificial...?"

Vegapunk was somewhat helpless. He was responsible for a lot of projects, and one person's energy is limited. This did not sound like a simple study.

"Hehehe, leave it to me, Mr. Dimon!"

Caesar took the initiative to do the work. Vegapunk was very busy, but he wasn't. The artificial Devil Fruit sounded very valuable.

If he succeeds, his fame might surpass that of Vegapunk!

Dumont expressed doubts about Caesar's scientific abilities.

In the original storyline, the artificial Devil Fruits he created caused a lot of trouble for the Beasts Pirates.

A pile of useless fruit.

Caesar blushed and widened his eyes to save face: "Don't underestimate me, I'm a genius scientist too!"

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Next, Dimon gave some instructions and then got up and left.

Stussy reluctantly saw him to the door.

"Come see me soon next time."
