The quicksand blade tore through the earth, slashing straight at the leading airplane.
A major battle broke out.
Chaos reigned throughout Beehive Island, and no one paid attention to this trivial matter.
When Dimon found the place, Crocodile was sitting against the wall, breathing rapidly.
Before him, the pompadour-haired bounty hunter, now a desiccated corpse, weakly pleaded:
"Water...give me water..."
As for the other two, they lay in pools of blood, unconscious.
"I thought you were having a tough fight, but you're doing pretty well, aren't you?" Dimon slowly walked up to the mummified corpse.
"They're just three nobodies who're asking for trouble by targeting me."
Crocodile's victory was hard-won; he was panting heavily as he spoke.
Dimon laughed and said, "So, what about Devil Fruits?"
After a moment of silence, Crocodile tried to save face: "Brother, I think I'm still young. I can drink again in a few years."
The main problem is that we can't get them!
“You’re 17 now, right? Perfect age for drinking,” Dimon teased. “Want me to buy you a drink?”
They want to turn me into a woman again!
Crocodile's face darkened, and he was too weak to answer.
Dimon picked up the half-dead aircraft nose from the ground and immediately activated his ability.
Dark demonic power was released from his palm, enveloping the opponent, and the darkness faded after a moment.
The humans of the past have been transformed into little devils.
His distinctive pompadour had been spread out, turning into curly black hair, and his teeth had become much sharper.
Crocodile stared in disbelief at the scene.
Dimon released the other person: "What's your name?"
“Master, my name is Magsi. The other two are Dongpa and Halifax. We are the three bounty hunter brothers.”
Magshi, now in a demonic form, knelt on one knee and answered respectfully.
Previously, the Sand-Sand Fruit had drained the water from her body, turning her into a little devil, but she came back to life.
Not only has her hairstyle changed, but some black spiral patterns have also appeared on her skin, though they are covered by her clothes.
Indeed, humans can also be transformed, and their minds remain the same as before the transformation.
Dimon understood immediately and asked, "What do you want to do now?"
"I only want to destroy, Master!"
The little devil Magshi grinned, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.
With your pathetic strength, what can you possibly destroy? You're sitting at the same table as Somaz, the "instant-kill" Divine Knight of the Divine Knights.
Dimon thought to himself, "He's not even as good as Somaz. Somaz was defeated in one hit by Rayleigh and Jabba, but this guy can't even beat a young Crocodile."
"Go, go find someone, the Red Earl!"
Upon receiving the instruction, Magshi immediately got up and left.
Only after watching him walk away did Crocodile finally ask:
"Big brother, what was that just now...?"
"A little trick. Let's go, Saki, let's get out of here first."
The two traveled together back to the sea cliff where their ship was moored, and then left by boat.
Meanwhile, on Beehive Island, the fighting and plundering among pirates continues.
The Golden Lion uses the elixir of immortality as bait to select his most capable subordinates.
The trade fair has ended, but the killing has only just begun.
Those who gain immortality become ambitious and even want to challenge the Golden Lion, one of the Five Peaks.
Crocodile's small boats were fast, but they didn't have much supplies.
Half a month later, the ship docked at a port.
“Brother, we need to disembark to buy some ingredients.” Crocodile tied the mooring rope to the anchor post.
Dimon lay on a beach chair, wearing sunglasses and holding a glass of juice. "Where am I?"
"We're almost at the entrance to the New World. This should be the Kingdom of Dressrosa."
"Dressrosa?"
Upon hearing the familiar place name, Dimon immediately sat up straight and looked around at the scenery of the harbor.
The coastline is covered with numerous mushroom rocks that encircle the shore and disappear into the horizon.
This familiar scenery is indeed from the Kingdom of Dressrosa.
"Let's go then, it's a good opportunity to get off the boat and take a stroll."
The two set off from the harbor pier and walked straight to the town, where the surroundings suddenly became lively.
This is a small island nation. Dimon's Observation Haki can even cover the entire island. It has a population of less than one million and only one major city.
Contrary to what Dimon had imagined, there were no toys to be seen on the streets, and the country was not yet known as the "Land of Love, Passion, and Toys."
Love and passion were certainly evident, with sizzling dancers everywhere on the streets, performing for the spectators who stopped to watch.
As for the toys, they only appeared after Doflamingo seized power in the country, thanks to the Child-Child Fruit.
It has to be said that there are always some overpowered abilities among Paramecia-type Devil Fruits.
Suddenly, Dimon stopped in his tracks. Just as he was about to watch the dancers perform, he spotted a familiar-looking kid on the street.
The familiar little devil was accompanied by another little devil.
"What's wrong, brother?" Crocodile turned around.
Dimon chuckled and immediately walked towards the two kids. He came up behind them and suddenly patted one of them on the head.
"Damn it, who is it...?"
Doflamingo turned around angrily, and when he saw that it was the centenarian swordsman Yamamoto Genryusai, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Grandpa, is there anything I can help you with?"
Chapter 115 Mingfei and Shaji
Doflamingo possesses exceptional face-changing skills.
One second he was furious, but the next second, his eyes cleared up as soon as he recognized who the other person was.
"It's me, what are you doing here?" Dimon asked with some curiosity.
"Is it... Big Brother?"
Doflamingo was dumbfounded. That familiar feeling... it's here, it's here! It's definitely that person!
Damn it, I even advised my father to hide in a place like this, and I still managed to run into my older brother. It's like a ghost.
"Brother, who is this old man...?"
Beside Doflamingo, his younger brother Rosinante asked in a low voice.
"Ah, it was the kind old man I happened to meet before." Doflamingo's mind raced, and he quickly made up a story.
Not long ago, he was knocked down on the street, and it was an old man who helped him up.
A flimsy excuse; probably no one but family would believe it.
Rosinandi believed him and politely greeted Dimon: "Hello, grandpa."
He seems a bit withdrawn, but as a Celestial Dragon, he is much more well-mannered than his brother.
"Hello to you, Rosinante."
Dimon smiled and patted the child's head.
In the original story, this guy was later killed by Doflamingo himself, just to save another child.
Among the numerous Celestial Dragons, Rosinante is an anomaly, a rare individual who does not commit evil and is kind-hearted.
Doflamingo noticed Crocodile following behind Damon and frowned.
Is he the big brother's new underling?
Crocodile was also keeping an eye on Doflamingo. Without even asking, he could guess that the kid was definitely his boss's underling, a member of the "New Era".
When you mentioned "there was one more person" back in Loguetown, were you referring to this brat?
"Grandpa, I'm hungry now, understand?"
Dimon slapped Doflamingo's head again.
This familiar sentence structure... and can you please stop patting your head? You'll stunt your growth!
Doflamingo said helplessly, "Grandpa, there's a restaurant right ahead."
So the four of them went to the restaurant and chose a table by the window.
Dimon, without any hesitation, ordered a table full of delicious food and expensive red wine, and casually asked:
"So, what are you doing here? Aren't you a Celestial Dragon anymore?"
Doflamingo glanced at his taciturn younger brother beside him and made an excuse to send him away.
"Rossinandi, I don't have any money with me. Go home and ask your mother for some money to pay the bill."
"I know, brother."
Rosinante silently left, believing whatever Doflamingo said.
After he left, Doflamingo explained:
“Brother, I’m afraid that staying in the Holy Land will lead to our downfall. I’m persuading Father to go down to the mortal realm for a while to avoid trouble.”
Their family moved out of the Holy Land and into the mortal realm, which angered many Celestial Dragons.
Everyone else thought they had fallen into depravity and almost lost their Celestial Dragon status because of this.
"As for why I chose Dressrosa... fufufu."
The 12-year-old Doflamingo grinned mischievously, "Our Donquixote family was the royal family of this country before we became Celestial Dragons and moved to the Holy Land."
Dressrosa, your king has returned!
Of course, his father had no interest in being a king, so the former king lived in the country as a commoner.
Fortunately, they were wealthy, and apart from not having slaves to serve them daily, everything else remained the same as before.
Even living in the lower realms is much more interesting than in the Holy Lands.
"You're a Celestial Dragon..." Crocodile exclaimed in surprise.
"who are you?"
Doflamingo spoke arrogantly, and only when facing Dimon did he restrain his arrogance as a Celestial Dragon.
"He is Crocodile, a Logia-type Devil Fruit user with the Sand-Sand Fruit." Dimon smiled slightly and asked curiously, "Didn't your father go around bragging that you were Celestial Dragons?"
In the original history, Doflamingo's family should have gone to live in a non-member country in the North Sea.
Everything was fine until his father insisted that he used to be a Celestial Dragon, and then that was the end of it.
"I almost let it slip once, that bastard..."
Doflamingo didn't look well.
They had lived here for almost half a year. When they first arrived, his father almost revealed that he was a Celestial Dragon, but he cleverly changed the subject and prevented it from happening.
One can imagine what would have happened if he hadn't been there that day.
The Riku family currently rules this country, and it's hard to say what they might do once they find out the Don Quixote family has returned.
