One Piece: Starting with the Immortal Rocks Pirates

This is where mermaids live. On the shore filled with coral hills, Dimon found the little devil Magshi.

This guy was sneaking around behind a coral mound, his eyes fixed on the mermaids playing on the shore.

"What are you doing?"

Hearing the words from behind him, Magshi was startled and almost ran away.

He turned around, saw Dimon, and immediately knelt down on one knee.

Although his appearance is different from Yamamoto Genryusai, the feeling from the soul level is not wrong; this is the master.

“Master!” he said respectfully, “I am observing the mermaids. The mermaids here are very valuable. The starting bid for a beautiful mermaid on land is 7000 million Berries!”

Devil Fruits only start at 100 million on the black market, so a mermaid is almost as valuable as a Devil Fruit.

Upon hearing this, Dimon looked behind Magsi and saw many mermaids playing in the water on the shore not far away.

The reason why mermaids are called mermaids is naturally because of their outstanding appearance.

"Huh? That's..."

Dimon raised his eyebrows and noticed a mermaid sitting on a rock. Unlike the other mermaids, she was reading a newspaper intently.

That was a goldfish mermaid, with golden hair, blue eyes, an orange hair ornament, and an orange fish-scale robe.

No, Neptune is still just a prince, not a princess yet.

Beside Otohime, another burly male mermaid was holding a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) and communicating with someone.

"Why isn't Neptune guarding the gate? Why is he here instead?" Roger stroked his chin and couldn't help but laugh. "Looks like he's pursuing that mermaid. Newspapers are rare items on Fish-Man Island; not just anyone can get their hands on one."

So it's quite obvious that Neptune sent the newspaper as a gift to his beloved.

Dimon nodded in strong agreement.

Then, using their Observation Haki, they eavesdropped on Neptune's conversation.

"What did you say? Roger, and that legendary brewer, have come to Fishman Island?!"

"I understand. Don't get violent. You can't mess with big shots like that!"

"On the contrary, hurry up and find them, and invite them to visit the Dragon Palace!"

Neptune appeared very anxious. After giving his instructions, he hung up the Den Den Mushi and turned to Otohime, saying:

"Otohime, I have something important to do."

"Go on with your work, thank you for bringing the newspaper."

Princess Otohime smiled slightly, revealing a sweet smile.

Chapter 128 The Two Kings vs. the Red Earl

Dimon was somewhat surprised to have overheard Neptune's conversation.

However, this trip to Fishman Island isn't to admire the mermaids; we need to take care of our objective first.

He looked down at Magsi, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Where is the person you were asked to track?"

"I'm sorry, Master, I don't know either!"

Magshi quickly explained, "Count Red has extremely powerful Observation Haki, so I dare not get too close, but his ship is still on Fishman Island, so he must be on the island as well."

At this point, Roger asked, puzzled, "By the way, what do you want with this person?"

You'll find out soon enough.

Dimon held his breath and focused, his Observation Haki instantly enveloping the entire Fishman Island.

With millions of people in the Dragon Palace Kingdom, accurately identifying the Red Earl among so many auras is a bit of a challenge.

After a thorough search, no particularly powerful aura was detected.

Dimon was taken aback. "Not on the island?"

He looked at Magsi suspiciously. Had he lost track of him?

Magsi hurriedly explained, "Master, the person is definitely on the island. It seems that the person came here looking for something."

Upon hearing this, Roger's heart stirred. "What could Fishman Island possibly have that would make that person covet it? It could only be that."

He didn't say it explicitly, but Dimon understood what he meant.

To be precise, it's the main historical text of the red road signs!

"In the Sea Forest!" Roger's eyes flashed as he used his Observation Haki to detect a presence outside Fishman Island.

Dimon immediately nodded: "Let's go to the Sea Forest."

The Forest of the Sea is not inside the giant bubble of Fishman Island.

It is located on the seabed and is an underwater forest. Because many shipwrecks are transported here by the tides, it is also known as the "ship graveyard".

This area is also enveloped in huge bubbles, isolating it from the outside seawater.

At this moment, somewhere in the Sea Forest.

The Red Earl stood before two square stone tablets, one red and one blue, quietly gazing at the inscriptions on them.

A voice suddenly came from behind.

"Do you understand?"

Count Red smiled faintly and said, "I don't understand it, but my Observation Haki can hear the sounds coming from these two stones. They possess very powerful 'power'."

As he spoke, he slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping over Dimon and Roger.

"Two Observation Hakis swept over this area just now. Was that you? It's been a long time, brewer Dimon, and... Pirate King Roger."

Having finally found the person in question, Dimon remained calm and spoke with great confidence:

"The red stone is called a Road Poneglyph. There are four in total. If you find them all, you can find the final island, Laugh Tale. Of course, the prerequisite is that you can understand the text on them."

"As for the blue one..."

Dimon turned his gaze to the blue stone tablet and began translating it word by word.

After listening, Earl Red murmured in surprise, "Joey Boy? Apologizing to the Little Mermaid for failing to keep his promise? What promise?"

Roger explained, "The first person who could be called a 'pirate' was Joey Boy, who lived more than 800 years ago. The meaning of the agreement is unknown."

The letter of apology did not specify what the agreement was.

"Even you don't know?" Count Red was quite surprised, then added, "Judging from your expressions, it seems you came here specifically to see me? What brings you here?"

"You can hear what other people are thinking? Why don't you listen?"

As he spoke, Dimon slowly drew the Tenyu Habakiri from his waist.

“No need to listen. Just by looking at them, they're clearly up to no good. Your auras are both too strong; I can't read your minds. However…”

Count Red flicked his umbrella, his eyes sharpening. "May I ask, is there any possibility of peaceful dialogue?"

Dimon did not answer; the sword in his hand had already provided the answer.

He lunged forward and beheaded the victim with a single sword strike, his movements so fast that even a person with ordinary Observation Haki couldn't catch it.

However, the beheaded Count Red was merely a fleeting image.

At the moment of being attacked, his Observation Haki had already captured the exact future, allowing him to retreat in advance and avoid the slash by the slightest margin.

Because the movement was so subtle, it looked as if he had actually been slashed.

While dodging the attack, the Red Earl used his umbrella as a sword and thrust it fiercely towards Dimon's chest.

Dimon calmly pinched the tip of the umbrella.

At the same time, Roger also made his move.

"Wild Soul!"

Ace, wielding the sword with both hands, swept it diagonally from right to left, the sword energy like a rainbow, the crescent-shaped black and red sword energy swiftly passing over the Red Earl.

Avoided again!

The sword energy, having lost its target, severed the entire Sea Forest, then tore apart the hemispherical soap bubble that enveloped the underwater forest, and finally cleaved the outside seawater in two.

The deep sea, thousands of meters below the surface, was briefly emptied by this single cut.

The seawater took a long time to heal.

"Be careful, Dimon, this guy's Observation Haki can't even suppress my 'Observation Kill', he's troublesome!"

"One against two? That's a bit of a headache."

The Red Earl remained calm, then flicked his wrist.

The umbrella that Dimon was holding immediately changed shape, transforming from an umbrella into a bat-shaped scythe in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, the scythe, freed from its restraints, swung in a wide arc, aiming for Dimon's neck.

Dimon blocked the attack with one strike, while simultaneously pointing a finger at the Red Earl from a distance with his other hand.

Black and red lightning coalesced at his fingertips.

"I know that move of yours killed Zephyr instantly."

The Red Earl saw the future; if he didn't dodge or evade, he too would be instantly killed.

He immediately stepped back, did a backflip, and easily stood on Joey Boy's apology letter.

Dimon was speechless. Why was everyone so afraid of this move, the "Dojin"?

It was just a quick kill on Zephyr, right?

"I have no interest in fighting you to the death. Although I don't know why you're targeting me, goodbye."

The Red Earl took two steps back, jumped off the historical monument, and kicked it hard at the same time.

He kicked the historical text of Joey Boy's apology to Dimon.

This thing is indestructible; its hardness even surpasses that of diamonds.

Dimon pressed his hand down on the stone tablet and ordered, "Don't let him get away."

"Don't worry, he definitely can't escape."

Roger sprouted wings and flew close to the ground, chasing after them in the blink of an eye.

The Red Earl was quickly caught up and had to turn around to block Roger's knife.

The clash of their weapons immediately created a typhoon-like storm, blowing everything within a hundred meters away.

Many beautiful corals were shattered by the impact, turning into countless fragments that were swept away.

Roger, your wings...!

“I think it’s good.” Roger grinned. “Do you want one too?”

Count Red's heart sank; it seemed that a simple escape was impossible.

Just then, the bubble that Roger had previously torn apart finally couldn't withstand the external water pressure and burst with a "poof," followed by endless seawater pouring into the underwater forest.

In that instant, Dimon whispered:

"The field expands!"

The dark shadow beneath their feet, like the gaping maw of a demon, instantly expanded a hundredfold, spreading along the ground towards the two of them.

"What is this?!" Count Red's expression changed slightly, as if he were foreseeing the future.

The future is shrouded in darkness!

In the blink of an eye, a black moon was born in the deep sea, thousands of meters below, enveloping the three of them.

The seawater followed closely behind, crashing against the walls of the domain.

Chapter 129 I, Dimon, acknowledge you as the strongest!

It was dark; nothing could be seen.

Red Earl's heart sank. In his perception using Observation Haki, the darkness seemed to have a boundary, encompassing almost half of the Sea Forest.

The ground beneath my feet was still there, and the surrounding environment seemed unchanged.
