One Piece: Starting with the Immortal Rocks Pirates

Page 37

However, the Five Elders are too far removed from ordinary Celestial Dragons; they are not qualified to obtain such power.

But the appearance of the Elixir of Immortality brought other hopes.

Therefore, Dimon's reputation in the Holy Land was known to everyone, far surpassing that of Lox.

Countless times, the Celestial Dragons from various families have joined forces to propose to the Five Elders that they should capture Dimon!

"If you want to get a lot of Devil Fruits, just go see the Five Elders, and they will definitely agree to let you become a Celestial Dragon."

"Hehehe... What do you know, kid?"

Dimon had no interest in explaining to a little kid and continued, "Do you know which family has Devil Fruits?"

“I…I don’t know. I’m just a child. My father might know.”

To save his own life, Doflamingo brought up his father.

He paused, then quickly explained:

"Even among Celestial Dragons, there are differences in status among families. Our family is just an ordinary Celestial Dragon family."

"Above that, if someone in the family becomes a member of the Knights of God, their status will be even higher."

"And the Five Elders' family holds the highest status among all the Celestial Dragons!"

The Celestial Dragons and the people of the lower realms are clearly distinct.

In the eyes of the Celestial Dragons, people in the lower realms are all lowly people, slaves who serve them, and whose lives and deaths are at their mercy.

However, there are also differences among the Celestial Dragons.

The Knights of God even have the authority to execute ordinary Celestial Dragons!

Doflamingo explained the situation at the Holy Land, and after listening, Dimon couldn't help but frown.

Should we go door-to-door to search?

Alternatively, one could infiltrate Pangaea City, where the treasure vaults should contain a store of Devil Fruits.

After a moment's thought, Dimon decided to change his strategy.

It must be said that Doflamingo's suggestion was excellent; kidnapping Shamrock and demanding a ransom was the easiest way.

Looks like I'll have to go back to my old ways!

Thinking of this, Dimon extended his right hand, his index and middle fingers joined together, and touched Doflamingo's chest.

A series of black lights flashed by.

"what did you do to me?"

Doflamingo lifted his pajamas, looked down, and immediately turned pale with fright.

A pentagram magic circle appeared on his chest.

"what is this?"

"Take me to Shamrock tomorrow. Now, you can go to sleep!"

Dimon's gaze sharpened.

In an instant, Doflamingo's consciousness seemed to be struck by a giant bell; his eyes rolled back, and he fell asleep immediately.

After doing all that, Dimon walked to the window and opened it.

He didn't completely believe what Doflamingo said, so he went to verify it.

The next day, in the morning.

Doflamingo woke up with a start, as if he had just had a nightmare.

"Was it a dream? What a nasty dream!"

Doflamingo looked grim. He got up and walked to the full-length mirror. Suddenly remembering something, he lifted his pajamas in front of his reflection.

"No...it's not a dream!?"

The reflection in the mirror showed a dark pentagram magic circle on the chest.

He was filled with anxiety. "What is this? Should I tell my father?"

After much deliberation, Doflamingo dared not make any rash moves.

"Damn it, such a big pirate is bullying a kid like me!"

Doflamingo cursed Dimon in his heart when suddenly a maid's voice came from outside the door.

"Young Master, it's time to get up. Master is already waiting in the dining room."

"understood!"

Doflamingo snorted, got dressed, and went downstairs for breakfast.

Inside the restaurant, his father, mother, and younger brother were already waiting for him.

As soon as Doflamingo sat down, Donquixote Homing spoke with a solemn expression:

"I had a nightmare last night, and I've decided to give up my Celestial Dragon privileges, leave the Holy Land as soon as possible, and go to live in the lower realm."

Doflamingo dropped the spoon from his hand, completely stunned.

Doflamingo, your father will soon renounce his Celestial Dragon identity and take your family to live in the mortal realm.

Last night, Dimon's words echoed deep in his mind.

Is that guy a god? How did he know?!

Chapter 47 We, the Great Pirates, Love Bullying Kids

"Why, Father!"

Doflamingo had no desire to live in the lower realms, and he hurriedly looked at his mother.

The mother smiled gently: "Dover, Rosinandi, your father must have his reasons for making this decision."

Rosinandi, whose long hair covered his eyes, was a quiet and timid child and did not express any opinion on the matter.

Huo Minggu Sheng patted Doflamingo's head and smiled:

“Life in the lower realms will certainly be more fulfilling than in the Holy Lands, not in terms of quality of life, but in terms of one's inner self. Dover, you will…”

Doflamingo slapped his father's hand away, unable to tell whether it was out of fear or something else.

Last night, Dimon left him with considerable psychological trauma, and now hearing that his father was going to abandon his identity and leave the Holy Land fills him with even more unease.

"I don't want it!"

With a disgruntled roar, Doflamingo lost his appetite for breakfast and ran out of the restaurant.

“Dover…” his mother looked on with concern.

“He’ll understand. Let him calm down.” Huo Minggu shook his head. “I’ll go through the formalities as soon as possible and sell some of the assets.”

The mother patted Rosinandi and said with a smile:

"Life in the lower realms? That sounds exciting, doesn't it, Rosinante?"

"Yes, Mother."

Rosinandi responded quietly, buried his head in his plate, and continued to eat his gourmet meal in silence.

"Damn it! Why did we have to leave the Holy Land!"

Doflamingo flew into a rage and kicked his beloved toy away.

A maid came to knock on the door, "Young Master... Madam asked me to bring you breakfast."

Doflamingo shouted angrily through the door, and after a "yes" was heard from outside, it became quiet.

Doflamingo clenched his fists tightly, took a deep breath, and lifted his shirt again.

The pentagram magic circle on his chest still exists.

"What is this thing? I can't wash it off... Is it a curse? Or the power of some kind of Devil Fruit?"

"It's a magic circle."

Suddenly, a mocking voice came from behind.

Doflamingo turned around abruptly, and upon seeing it was Dimon, he was so startled that he fell to the ground with a thud.

He looked in alarm at the door and then at the window, both of which were tightly shut.

"You...how did you get in?"

"That's how we got in."

Dimon looked around the toy room, picked up a blue demon mask from the pile of toys, and slowly put it on his face.

"Your dad has already gone out to handle the formalities. Soon you won't be Celestial Dragons anymore. Am I right?"

Dimon gave a half-smile; he had only said it casually.

Unexpectedly, Huo Minggu Sheng was frightened by him last night and immediately made a decision.

How do you know? Can you predict the future?

“I just happen to know. You don’t want to leave the Holy Land?” Dimon said slowly. “I can help you.”

Upon hearing this, Doflamingo's eyes flashed, and he showed his interest without much guile.

"how should I do?"

"Kneel down first, kowtow to me, and acknowledge me as your elder brother."

What?! Kneel and kowtow to pirates?!

Doflamingo trembled all over. He was a Celestial Dragon, a descendant of God. How could he kneel before mere humans?

Dimon pressed down on the little brat's head, forcing him to kneel down.

Doflamingo gritted his teeth and said, "You're a legendary pirate, yet you bully a child like me! Don't you have any shame?"

"We great pirates will bully little brats, especially you Celestial Dragon brats." Damon grinned. "Shout it out."

"Big brother...!"

Doflamingo exclaimed helplessly, "How can a little kid like me resist an adult, especially a notorious pirate like him?"

But then I thought, at least I'm safe now.

"Brother, how can we stop my father?"

Having done it the first time, it came out much more naturally the second time. Doflamingo let go of his psychological burden and now wanted to preserve his Celestial Dragon status.

Dimon said slowly, "It's simple. Now we'll capture Shamlock, and then the Holy Land will be in chaos, and your father won't be able to leave the Holy Land."

Can this work?

Doflamingo was skeptical, but he had no better solution.

"Shamrock will appear in the park around noon. We can ambush him there, but he'll have bodyguards with him!"

"It's alright, you lead the way."

After saying that, Dimon grabbed Doflamingo, walked to the windowsill, and jumped out.

"This is the third floor...!"

Doflamingo cried out in surprise, but breathed a sigh of relief after landing safely.

Dimon put him down. "Let's go. When you meet other people, just say I'm your slave."

"understood!"

Not long after the two left.

Inside the villa, a well-dressed woman carrying a breakfast knocked on the door of the toy room.

"Dover, make sure you eat breakfast properly so you can grow up quickly."

After a long silence, Doflamingo's mother opened the door, but her son was nowhere to be seen.

"Dover...?"

Holy site, park.
