As expected of God Valley's prize, one top-tier fruit is worth ten trash Zoan-type fruits.
Without hesitation, he swallowed the remaining three, leaving only the Paw-Paw Fruit.
[Consuming a Devil Fruit grants 1000 Devil Points.]
[Consuming a Devil Fruit grants 1000 Devil Points.]
[Consuming a Devil Fruit grants 1000 Devil Points.]
[Demon Points]: 4200
Dimon couldn't help but smile, feeling that all his hard work in snatching these fruits from the Valley of God had paid off.
Hmm... it doesn't seem too tiring.
I snagged it so easily!
"Unlocking skill two previously required 1000 points, skill three..."
Without hesitation, Dimon decisively chose to activate skill three. Money is meant to be spent; he wasn't going to keep it to have offspring.
[Demon Points]: 4200 → 2200
It consumed a full two thousand points, and the description of skill three appeared on the panel.
Demon Points: 2200
Demon Skill 1: Create the Elixir of Immortality
Demon Skill 2: Demon Form
Demon Skill 3: Parasitic Fruit
Demon Skill 4: Not Unlocked
Demon Skill 5: Not Unlocked
"Parasitic Fruit? What is this...?"
Dimon clicked on the detailed description of the skill, and after reading it, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
【Parasitic Fruit】:
Create a Devil Fruit, and when the fruit is eaten by someone else, everything the eater sees and hears will be under the watchful eye of the devil.
When a user completes the awakening of a Devil Fruit, the Devil's consciousness will be activated, and the user can transform the target into a Devil's servant.
The servants of the demon will obey the demon.
[Crafting Costs]: Any Devil Fruit, 300 Devil Points, and a Devil's Consciousness
"The demon in the description, you mean me, right?"
Dimon looked thoughtfully at the last remaining flesh-shaped fruit.
"Why not give it a try?"
Without hesitation, Dimon picked up the Paw-Paw Fruit and activated the Parasite Fruit skill.
A wisp of the soul seemed to have split off and resided within the Paw-Paw Fruit.
Then, 300 demon points were used to make minor modifications to it.
The original fleshy fruit is spherical, with many round bumps of different sizes on the surface. The overall color is light pink, and it looks like a pile of fleshy balls.
After the skill modification, slightly dark spots appeared in the light pink color.
Without careful observation, the difference is impossible to discern.
"Is this it?"
Dimon fiddled with the food in his hand for a moment, pondering who he should give it to.
I definitely can't eat it myself; it would be pointless if I did.
"Should we give it to Abel?"
"It's pointless to give it to him. The special thing about the parasitic fruit is that as long as the person who eats it completes the fruit's awakening, he can turn the person into my subordinate."
Abel had always listened to him; eating it would just be a waste.
After thinking for a moment, a person flashed through Dimon's mind.
"Big Bear and the others should still be on this island. In the original storyline, he was the one who ate this fruit, so it has enough potential for him to unleash. If he puts in a little more effort, he might be able to awaken it..."
Give it a try; it doesn't matter if you fail.
After all, the changes to the parasitic fruit are permanent, even if the fruit is reborn.
If the bear fails to awaken and dies, there will naturally be a next host.
Immediately, Dimon activated his Observation Haki, searching for the bear's scent on Beehive Island.
Beehive Island, south coast.
There is a garbage dump here.
Ginny and the others rummaged through the garbage for food. The hungry children didn't care about the dirt or mess as long as it was edible.
Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, I only found a few pieces of bread crust.
"Ugh, I can't stand it, let's just steal some!" Ivankov sighed.
Ginny shook her head: "No way, Boss Ivankov, this is pirate island. If we're caught stealing, we'll definitely be killed!"
Ivankov said helplessly, "How about we go to that bar? That guy named Dimon is quite friendly and keeps his word."
“That person is dangerous…” Ginny was a little afraid of Dimon.
Just then, a soft laugh rang out.
"Where am I in danger, little girl?"
Ginny shuddered, turned around and saw Dimon, immediately covering her mouth: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to talk badly about you behind your back."
"It's alright, here's the money."
Dimon took out a stack of one million Berries, tossed it to Ginny, then looked at the taciturn bear and smiled:
"I stole your Devil Fruit before, now I'm returning it to you."
When the bear saw the Paw-Paw Fruit being thrown over, it instinctively caught it.
Ivankov's eyes widened: "Really giving it back to us? This is the Paw-Paw Fruit, heh heh!"
"If you don't want it, you can give it to someone else."
"Waaaah! Brother Dimon, please take me as your little brother!"
The bear who received the fruit remained silent, while Ivankov clung to Dimon's trouser leg, weeping and begging to be taken in.
Dimon's eyes twitched, and he said with a look of disgust, "Don't wipe your snot on my pants."
"Yes, I'm sorry, brother!"
Ivankov immediately knelt down and solemnly kowtowed in apology.
Too lazy to pay him any attention, Dimon glanced at the still sullen bear.
"This island is a pirate island. It's very dangerous for kids like you to not have a protector. This fruit can help you increase your strength."
After saying that, he left.
Watching Dimon leave, Ivankov pounded his chest in anguish: "My brother doesn't want me anymore..."
Ginny said blankly, "So he was a good person after all?"
The little girl blinked and turned to look at the big bear: "Big bear, hurry up and eat it! When you become strong in the future, you can repay Lord Dimon!"
First, she saved his life, and then she was given a Devil Fruit; Ginny has already started calling him "sir."
Big Bear nodded silently: "Okay!"
The country of Wan, Jiuli.
Black mist appeared in the pentagram magic circle, and Kaido immediately turned his gaze to it. After the black mist dissipated, a group of people appeared in front of him.
"You're back? That's such a convenient ability of yours!"
"I took care of some personal matters."
Dimon turned and ordered, "Abel, arrest all those who are unconscious."
Chapter 32 Devouring Oden, Awakening Conqueror's Haki
Under Abel's command, more than a dozen knights from the Tide Sound Kingdom's guard captured the defeated Oden and his gang.
Afterwards, Dimon and Kaido went to Oden Castle, where Kaido suppressed all the rebellious samurai.
Dimon has completely taken control of Oden Castle in Kuri.
The people of Kuri were still unaware of what had happened, but the destruction of half of Oden Castle proved that last night's events were not a dream.
Many people gathered in the street, whispering among themselves as they looked at Oden Castle, which was built on the hillside.
"Where's the dragon? Where's the dragon from last night?"
"Is Lord Oden alright?"
"Who will go and find out?"
The public only talked about it, but no one dared to put it into action.
Early morning, inside Oden Castle.
Kaido drank and ate meat to his heart's content.
"Oh ho ho ho, the sake from Wano Country is quite good, Dimon, would you like some?"
"I'll go take care of those prisoners. You can drink slowly."
After having a quick breakfast, Dimon got up and left.
The captured samurai, retainers, and Kozuki Oden were all imprisoned.
The prison is guarded by the Chaoyin Guard Corps, which is able to control the situation for the time being.
Dimon went deep into the prison and found Kozuki Oden unconscious in the lowest cell.
He was bound from head to toe with sea stone chains, like a rice dumpling, unable to move.
Seemingly sensing footsteps, Kozuki Oden's eyelids twitched, and he slowly woke up.
"You are...the one from last night!"
Finding himself bound, Kozuki Oden struggled for a moment, then said with a serious expression, "What do you want to do?"
"Good morning," Dimon greeted, adding casually, "What we want is Wano Country."
"Your Kozuki family has ruled Wano Country for at least 800 years. There is no such thing as an eternal monarchy. It's time to give this country a new master."
With a wave of his hand, Dimon created a bottle of immortality wine.
While pouring sake for Kozuki Oden, he said:
"This is your last drink before you die. Do you have any last words?"
"Why?" Kozuki Oden gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you targeting Wano Country? Are you pirates?"
"There are several reasons, one of which is..."
Dimon paused for a moment, then chuckled, "I hate someone named Momonosuke. If you die, he'll die too."
Kozuki Momonosuke is the son of Kozuki Oden. Since his father died young, his son was naturally not born.
Hearing this, Kozuki Oden was dumbfounded.
Who is Momonosuke?
"Alright, enough chit-chat, want a drink?"
Dimon grabbed Kozuki Oden's chin and poured a cup of elixir of immortality down his throat.
At first, Kozuki Oden was somewhat resistant, but the wine made him open his eyes wide as soon as it entered his throat.
It's so delicious that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the world's best wine!
