One Piece: Starting with the Immortal Rocks Pirates

Page 3

Dimon watched the man leave, quite pleased with his first visitor.

He initially only intended to attract a few ordinary pirates, but he didn't expect Kaido to be lured over by the smell of alcohol.

"Kaido should only be in his early twenties right now, right?"

Kaido, in his early twenties, is still a little monster; it won't be easy to devour him.

Dimon thought to himself, "Forget it, this is an excellent apple. I'll plant it now and harvest it when it's ripe."

Given Kaido's magnanimity, he'll probably actually bring back a Devil Fruit to pay for the drinks.

He can gain Devil Points by consuming Devil Fruits.

Therefore, the elixir of immortality was something he could mass-produce.

Kaido left the Immortal Bar, his heart filled with barely suppressed restlessness.

He's looking for a fight!

Let's have an earth-shattering fight!

Ordinary people are no match for him; only fellow members of the Rocks crew can unleash his full power.

Kaido unleashed his Observation Haki and quickly locked onto his target.

With a sudden leap, Kaido landed on a rooftop, and then, with a few more leaps, headed towards his target.

Whitebeard was strolling down the street when suddenly he sensed a strong killing intent approaching.

"Newgate!!"

Whitebeard suddenly turned around.

Kaido descended from the sky, his spiked club imbued with Armament Haki, and mercilessly slammed down on Whitebeard's head.

"Thunder gossip!"

"What are you doing?" The white-bearded man frowned and met the attack with a punch, "Shatter!"

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit caused a massive tremor, blocking Kaido's blow from a distance, but the intense vibration broke through Kaido's defenses.

The next moment, Kaido was sent flying backward, coughing up blood.

Affected by the aftershocks of their battle, houses within a radius of 100 meters collapsed instantly, turning into ruins.

The pirates screamed and fled.

"Oh no! Kaido and Whitebeard are fighting!"

"Run! If you don't want to die, you'd better stay at least five kilometers away!"

"Quickly, someone go and inform Lord Lox! Only he can stop it!"

The pirates scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing for their lives and watching from a distance.

Kaido crawled up from the ruins, and the blood he had spat out was now flowing back into his mouth.

"Oh ho ho ho... That's great! Again, Newgate!"

Whitebeard looked at him with disgust: "What's wrong with you? Kaido, how could you possibly be my match?"

"Hmph, things are different today. I am now invincible!"

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and Xiao Kai felt like he could do it again!

Kaido laughed loudly and charged at Whitebeard again, black lightning flashing from his spiked club.

"Oh dear... what a troublesome brat!"

Whitebeard pursed his lips and raised his naginata to meet the attack.

Before their weapons clashed, their powerful auras collided.

It was as if a small sun was born between the two of them, and the terrifying shockwave flattened all the surrounding buildings.

Suddenly, Kaido's spiked club slipped from his hand, and Whitebeard seized the opportunity to reach out with his left hand and grab Kaido's face.

He roared and slammed Kaido to the ground, the force of the impact forming a visible sphere in his palm.

In an instant, the ground cracked, forming a huge hole centered on Kaido.

It looked as if it had been bombarded by a meteorite.

At this moment, several figures quickly appeared at the edge of the crater, and everyone's eyes were drawn to Kaido in the center of the crater.

Like a dead dog, he was easily defeated by Whitebeard.

Kaido lay there, his eyes rolled back, blood flowing from his seven orifices.

"Hey, Newgate, what are you doing?" Charlotte Linlin said with a displeased look, "What have you done to my little brother! Are you trying to kill him?"

"Hehehe, Kaido lost again, didn't he? He really doesn't learn his lesson." Golden Lion floated in mid-air, full of sarcasm.

"So, why did they start fighting again?" Stussy asked helplessly, cupping his face in one hand.

“A man full of youthful vigor,” Gloriaosa shook her head.

"Are you hungry? Should I prepare some food for you so you can recover your strength and keep fighting?" the long bread teased.

Seeing a large crowd gathered around, Whitebeard withdrew his hand from Kaido's face and let out a soft snort:

"He insisted on fighting me. Is he still alive, Kaido?"

"Cough...cough..."

Kaido, lying on the ground, coughed lightly twice. At the same time, his blood was flowing back and his injuries were healing.

Everyone was shocked to see this.

"what happened?"

"He's recovered... Did this kid eat a Devil Fruit?"

"No wonder he challenged Whitebeard again."

Kaido staggered a step, then slowly straightened up. In that short moment, all his injuries had been completely healed.

He grinned and laughed: "Oh ho ho ho... It's no use, I'm immortal!"

He paused, then unleashed a fiery aura that shot skyward.

"Keep going, Newgate!"

Chapter 4 Joining the Rocks Pirates

The Rocks Pirates members watching were astonished; they had recovered from such injuries in the blink of an eye.

"What kind of Devil Fruit has such an ability? It doesn't seem to be a Logia type." Golden Lion narrowed his eyes.

The elemental transformation of Logia-type Devil Fruit users simply means they cannot be targeted by physical attacks; their bodies flow like water, making them untouchable by ordinary attacks.

However, it will still be damaged when facing Armament Haki.

"I've heard there's a Mythical Zoan fruit called Phoenix, it looks a bit like it." Longbread stroked his chin.

"Is that so?" Stussy crossed one arm over his chest and rested his chin on the other, tilting his head involuntarily. "Kaido's recovery is a bit like time reversal, returning him to his state before he was injured. Maybe he's a Paramecia type."

Everyone has their own opinion, and as the group talked, the battle inside the crater broke out again.

With his spiked club nowhere to be found, Kaido was left to fight with his fists.

Whitebeard didn't bully him; he also dropped his naginata and fought back with his fists.

The two exchanged a punch, their Armament Haki clashing, and black lightning expanded outward from the point of impact.

It spread in all directions like a pitch-black spider web.

"Gurararar... What kind of fruit did you eat? Don't you have any special abilities?"

Whitebeard grinned: "You're not afraid of getting hurt, but you can't be called invincible, kid."

"Hmph, that's enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two exchanged more than a dozen punches.

Kaido swung his fist extremely quickly, creating afterimages as if multiple arms had appeared in an instant.

The continuous punches landed on Whitebeard's chest, but only managed to push him back half a step.

"Ugh!!"

Suddenly, Whitebeard roared, his right fist crackling with Conqueror's Haki, and he abruptly broke through Kaido's block, delivering a powerful uppercut that struck Kaido's chin from a distance.

A deafening roar, the terrifying force seemed to bulge Kaido's eyeballs, and his entire body shot straight into the sky like a cannonball.

"Ah, that was a heavy blow." Gloriosa looked up, her gaze following Kaido as he flew into the sky. "He's just an apprentice, using Overpower to attack others. Aren't you afraid of killing them?"

The Golden Lion laughed: "Hehehe, doesn't this brat claim to be immortal? He definitely won't die."

"He doesn't even know Conqueror's Haki Entanglement. I really don't know where this brat gets the confidence to provoke Newgate," Longbread said, shaking his head.

All eyes remained fixed on Kaido.

Kaido flew to a height of five or six hundred meters, then experienced a free fall of more than ten seconds, and finally crashed back into the meteorite crater with a loud bang.

"Fainted..."

Whitebeard looked down at Kaido and saw that Kaido's injuries were visibly healing, though at a slightly slower pace than before.

Just then, another figure appeared on the crater.

The man was tall and imposing, exuding an aura of authority. His hair was black and white, sticking out like a thick, frizzy braid, and his face was rugged.

"This looks interesting. Is it really immortal?"

“Rocks…” Whitebeard glanced at the newcomer and spoke before the other could ask, “Don’t ask me, I don’t know what’s going on either.”

Rocks leaped lightly down from the pit, and the other members followed him to Kaido's side.

The crowd surrounded Kaido, looking him up and down.

Stussy crouched down and reached out to check his breathing: "He's perfectly fine, shows no signs of injury whatsoever."

“Wake him up,” Lockes said.

Charlotte Linlin grabbed Kaido by the collar, lifted him up, and then slapped him several times.

"Hey, wake up, Kaido! Explain yourself!"

Kaido's eyelids twitched, he was jolted awake, and when he opened his eyes he saw a group of people forcefully watching.

Rocks laughed and said, "You're too early to challenge Newgate, Kaido. Tell us about your situation first."

Kaido: "..."

"Did he get knocked silly?" Stussy chuckled, covering his mouth.

"Hmph, just a minor injury." Kaido snorted and glanced sideways, saying, "He only drank a cup of wine, and after drinking it, he gained an immortal body."

The group looked at each other in surprise. It wasn't a Devil Fruit?

Lox, however, became interested: "What kind of wine has such power?"

Both women were equally tempted.

Stussy: "Never aging?"

Gloriosa: "The Elixir of Immortality?"

Charlotte Linlin said disdainfully, "Did you hear that right? It's immortality, and most importantly, it's not about dying!"

"You who give birth like popcorn, how could you understand the suffering of a woman's youth?" Gloria rolled her eyes at her.

Stussy wasn't interested in arguing and pressed on, "Where's the wine, kid!"

"The wine is called the Elixir of Immortality, and it's in a newly opened little bar." Kaido's craving for the Elixir of Immortality kicked in at the mere mention of it, but unfortunately, it was too expensive.

“Take me there.” Lox was very interested. “I really want to meet the person who can brew this kind of wine.”

Kaido really wanted to refuse; he still owed Dimon a Devil Fruit and was reluctant to face his creditor.

“A cup of wine requires a Devil Fruit in exchange, and you won’t get to drink it even if you go.” Kaido grinned, then suddenly had a good idea: “I can take you there, but first, give me a Devil Fruit.”

“Little brat…” Stusky’s eyes were unfriendly.

“Intern…” Gloriosa narrowed her eyes.
