The restaurant door was kicked open, and a group of heavily armed soldiers stormed in, led by several CP4 agents.
The man in the suit who had been choked by Dimon earlier was among them.
"It's him! The brewer of the Rocks Pirates..." The man in the suit's expression changed drastically: "And Kaido!?"
He gasped, then shouted urgently, "Fire! Quickly!"
A barrage of gunfire erupted, like a sudden storm, unleashing a torrent of bullets in just a few seconds.
Abel immediately retracted his wings and used them to shield himself.
The vast majority of bullets were aimed at Kaido and Damon.
A moment later, the gunfire stopped.
"Garbage, get out."
Kaido's gaze sharpened, and in an instant, a burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted, sweeping past like a strong gust of wind. One after another, the soldiers who had rushed in collapsed, their eyes rolling back in their heads.
Abedo was stunned by what he saw. Was this the legendary Rocks Pirates?
"Why did you knock them out? Who's going to steer the boat now?" Dimon said helplessly.
That destroyed the entire ship.
Chapter 15 Three women and one drama
Dimon got up, walked over, and picked up the man in the suit.
Even CP4 agents would find it difficult to maintain their senses when faced with Kaido's Conqueror's Haki.
Two hard slaps across the face.
The man in the suit woke up from his peaceful sleep, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Dimon's face. He was so startled that his lips trembled.
"No, no, no, don't kill me! Big brother, I surrender!"
"Who is your older brother? I ask, you answer."
Dimon grinned, revealing a benevolent smile: "Where is this ship headed?"
“Punk Hazard…a secret research base under the World Government,” the man in the suit quickly replied, not daring to hide anything.
This is a ruthless member of the Rocks Pirates. His first news story was about capturing a Celestial Dragon, earning him a terrifying bounty of 5 million.
Damon knew about Punk Hazard, a place that later became known as "Ice Island" because of a battle between two admirals.
"Change course, go to the Hive. You must have one on your ship, right?" Dimon said calmly, "A permanent pointer."
Yes, yes, yes!
The man in the suit smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Because we often have to go on missions, there are many permanent pointers on the ship."
Unlike the save pointer, the permanent pointer will permanently point to a certain island, making it an indispensable tool for sailing the Grand Line.
“Very good, you’ve saved your life. Now wake up a few people and steer the ship toward the Hive.” Dimon nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes! Right now!"
The man in the suit felt like he had been granted a pardon and immediately woke up his companions, who obediently ran to start the boat.
Dimon and Kaido arm wrestled, neither of them using any Haki, it was a pure contest of arm strength.
Suddenly, with a loud bang, the box supporting his elbow could not withstand the enormous pressure and shattered into pieces on the ground.
Dimon laughed: "Who said it was a tie? I won!"
"No, the box is broken, so it's a draw." Kaido, of course, wouldn't admit it, and turned to ask the third party, "Abel, it's a draw, isn't it?"
"Uh... Lord Kaido, Lord Dimon!"
Eight-year-old Jin was sweating profusely, racking his brains for a way to answer.
Fortunately, the man in the suit ran over and helped him out of the predicament.
"Lord Dimon, Beehive Island is just ahead."
Upon hearing this, Dimon turned to look at the distant sea. Even from a distance, the Skull Hotel on the island was already faintly visible.
The man in the suit chuckled and said, "Well, Lord Dimon, your request has been fulfilled, so perhaps..."
Dimon had no interest in making things difficult for the little Karamis, and waved his hand, saying, "After delivery, you can do as you please. However..."
As she spoke, she gave him a half-smile and said, "Losing an important experimental subject means the World Government won't let you off the hook when you get back. You might as well defect to the enemy."
The man in the suit felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
This was a reality he didn't want to face: the mission to escort the Lunaria brats had failed, and he already had a premonition that he would be sent to prison.
But he dared not direct this resentment at Dimon, for who knew he would coincidentally run into the Rocks Pirates.
Damn it, this is a complete natural disaster!
While he was struggling with this decision, the warship finally arrived at the port of Beehive Island not long after.
The pirates at the port were all startled to see a World Government ship docking.
Then I remembered this was Beehive Island, so what's there to be afraid of?
As a result, a large group of pirates gathered menacingly.
When they saw Dimon and Kaido disembarking from the ship, their expressions changed instantly, and they became as docile as cats.
"Lord Dimon, Lord Kaido, they actually stole a warship! As expected of the Rocks Pirates!"
"Wow! Long live Rocks, the Pirate King!"
Dimon really couldn't be bothered to pay attention to these straight men.
Kaido stretched his stiff neck and suggested, "How about we go for a drink? Shakky's tavern."
"I haven't been there yet, so I'll go check it out."
Dimon thought of Shakky, and after a moment's thought, he agreed, "Abel, follow."
"Yes, Lord Dimon."
Abel followed quickly behind, his eyes scanning the surroundings with great curiosity about the legendary pirate paradise, Beehive Island.
After they left, the sheep that were docile just moments before instantly transformed into ferocious pirates.
"Our Storm Pirates have our eye on this warship!"
"No, it's mine!"
"Let's fight then! Whoever wins keeps it!"
A group of pirates broke out in a chaotic battle.
The government agents on deck exchanged bewildered glances. The man in the suit quickly yelled, "Start the ship! Do you want to die?"
Shakky's bar is a super popular bar on Beehive Island, and she herself is hailed as "the treasure of Beehive Island".
A long line formed in front of the tavern, with all the pirates patiently and orderly queuing up.
There's also a unique rule here: no one is allowed to fight in the tavern, and if you must fight, please stay at least one kilometer away from the tavern.
Therefore, this tavern is also a frequent haunt of many great pirates, where people can sit down and talk peacefully.
When Dimon arrived at the tavern, everyone was surprised.
As expected of an era of great oppression, these pirates are completely under their thumb.
Simps, they're all simps!
However, queuing is out of the question; with such a long line, you might not even be able to get in by nightfall.
Meanwhile, inside the tavern.
Gloria sat at the bar, holding a small makeup mirror, admiring her own appearance.
"Oh, Shakky, even though you're more popular than me now, things will be different in a few years~"
The tone should be as smug as possible.
Wearing an apron and holding a plate, Xia Qi couldn't help but chuckle at the former captain's vanity.
"I really envy him. I went to see that winemaker before, but alas, he was completely unmoved by my beauty. It's really frustrating."
A Devil Fruit can be exchanged for a cup of immortality wine, but the problem is, obtaining a fruit is not easy.
Stussy touched his lips with his index finger, tilted his head in thought, and said, "It's incredible. Could it be that he doesn't like women?"
Although I hate to admit it, Shakky's beauty is unparalleled, and all the pirates on Beehive Island are her fans.
It's impolite to talk badly about someone behind their back.
Just then, a voice came from the doorway.
The three of them turned their heads at the same time. When Xia Qi saw Dimon, her eyes lit up and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
“I didn’t say anything bad about you, Dimon, it was Stussy.”
Stussy rolled her eyes at her. "Dimon, Kaido, where have you been these past few days? I haven't seen you."
"I went out for a walk."
Dimon gave a casual, perfunctory reply and looked around the bar. It was much bigger than his place, with every table full of customers, except for a few empty seats around the bar.
Dimon immediately went to the bar and sat down, to Stuart's right.
Kaido sat to Damon's right and immediately urged, "Shakky, bring a barrel of sake."
Shakky is no weak woman; she is the former captain of the Kuja Pirates, a great pirate who was constantly being chased by Garp.
He bent down and carried a bucket of liquor out from behind the bar, then looked at Dimon and smiled:
"Dimon, what would you like to drink? As a first-time guest, it's on the house today."
“Give him a Margarita, and then a glass of water.” Dimon pointed to Abedo; the 8-year-old couldn’t drink alcohol.
Then he asked, "Is it just the two of you? Where are Lox and the others?"
“They went to Elbaf.” Gloria suddenly chuckled. “By the way, Dimon, you’re new here, you don’t know yet, do you? Rocks used to be Shakky’s suitor.”
Shaki handed Margaret to Dimon and poured Abel a glass of water: "Little brother, this is for you."
"Thank you, sister," Abel said gratefully.
Dimon certainly knew about this, but hearing her say that, he couldn't help but ask, "Before?"
"You gave up because you couldn't win her over!" Stussy teased. "You seem to have taken a liking to another woman lately, though I wonder who it is."
Xia Qi leaned against the bar, resting her chin on her hand, and said, "More than that, the baby should be due soon."
"What!?"
Kaido was shocked.
Dimon's expression was subtle. As the saying goes, three women make a drama, and these three women are really good at gossip.
But has Blackbeard been born yet?
Chapter 16 Dimon's [Demon Form]!
Kaido was quite shocked by the news that Rocks' child was about to be born.
"You know her? Which woman?"
"I don't know. He mentioned it casually when we were drinking here once. It happened about half a year ago."
Shakky shook her head, focusing most of her attention on Dimon. "How does my brew compare to yours?"
Dimon savored a Margarita mixed by Shaqi, a traditional cocktail he loved before his time travel.
Kaido clearly couldn't stand such a comment and said disdainfully, "Not even a drop of the Elixir of Immortality."
Where's your emotional intelligence, you idiot?
Dimon thought to himself, "Does Kaido, that brute, even have such a thing?"
Xia Qi chuckled softly, "Really? There really is such delicious wine... I'm increasingly eager to try it~"
"Get your Devil Fruit ready. You're welcome to come find me anytime," Damon replied with a smile.
