The two set off from Jiuli Beach and first headed to Boluo Town in Jiuli.
To avoid revealing the general's identity, Dimon specially bought a mask to wear, and also bought one for Amatsuki.
When passing through Bianli Village, I bought two more straw hats to support the villagers' business.
They ate and drank, and enjoyed sightseeing along the way.
The scenery in different regions of Wano Country varies greatly. For example, the Ringo region is a snowy and icy landscape.
During his years as a general, Dimon has mostly stayed in Huadu and hasn't really been to other areas much.
This trip accompanying Tenzuki Toki across the country gave him a deeper understanding of Wano Country.
To be honest, compared to Huadu, it's all rural.
In just half a month, they completed the entire tour and finally arrived at the Flower Capital. The bustling town left Amezuki overwhelmed with its beauty.
Unfortunately, someone soon interrupted them.
"Chase! Don't let her run away!"
The Shinsengumi police shouted that a group of people were chasing a young woman.
The woman was dressed like a ninja—no, she *was* a ninja—and moved with incredible agility, darting swiftly across the rooftops of buildings.
On the street, Dimon stopped and Tianyue Shi, who was beside him, stared in surprise.
"What's going on here?"
"do not know……"
The female ninja looked somewhat familiar, and Dimon pondered whether he should lend a hand to the Shinsengumi.
Just then, a pteranodon burning with flames flew by quickly, descended from the sky, and easily grabbed the female ninja.
Then, Abel landed in front of the Shinsengumi with the female ninja and coldly snorted:
"If she gets away, how will we explain it to the General?"
The dozen or so members of the Shinsengumi knelt down one after another, saying, "We are very sorry, Lady Abel, this female ninja is too cunning..."
"I don't want to hear reasons, send her back to prison!"
The Shinsengumi immediately handcuffed the female ninja and took her away.
"What did she do wrong?"
Just then, a familiar voice came.
Abel turned his head and saw a man and a woman wearing straw hats and masks walking together.
"Lord Dimon, you're back!"
“This female ninja broke into the general’s mansion without permission a month ago. After I sent her to prison, she suddenly escaped today.”
Amatsuki asked with a look of curiosity, "A female ninja?"
I had only heard about ninjas and samurai from my parents before.
I've seen some samurai recently, but this is the first time I've seen a ninja.
Abel was stunned for a moment. Who was this woman...? Holding hands with Lord Dimon, was she the Lord's new woman?
"Yes, she knows some strange magic and is good at infiltration, but it is actually a Devil Fruit ability."
Dimon glanced at the female ninja being led away.
"what is her name?"
It really is her, the Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user of the Ripe Ripe Fruit.
They were probably trying to find the whereabouts of Kozuki Sukiyaki while the general was away.
We'll have to interrogate them later to find out who's behind this...
"Send him to jail first," Dimon casually ordered. "What else happened while I was away?"
Abel nodded and said, "Not long ago, the Kuja Pirates landed on this island and are currently in the Flower Capital. They brought Devil Fruits and hope to exchange them for alcohol."
Business is coming in!
Dimon's eyes lit up; this was great news.
Immediately, he led Tianyue back to the General's Mansion, first arranging for a maid to prepare a guest room for her, and then sending someone to inform the Kuja Pirates.
The General's Mansion, the living room.
Dimon met two acquaintances, as well as another stranger whom he had not yet formally met, but who had seen the other's wanted poster.
"Long time no see, Dimon."
Shaki greeted Dimon with a smile when he arrived.
Gloriosa, not used to kneeling, wiggled her hips and said, "I heard you and Roger found the final island. That's amazing."
"Long time no see, you two."
Dimon nodded and looked at the third person in the living room.
The woman greeted him politely with a gentle smile.
"Hello, the legendary brewer, I am Toritoma, the current captain of the Kuja Pirates."
Chapter 65 Ten Devil Fruits
Toritoma was the emperor before Boya Hancock.
Like the other empresses, she wore snake-shaped earrings, a symbol of the Nine Serpents clan.
She has a dignified appearance, shoulder-length black hair with slightly curled ends, and a clothing style similar to Boya Hancock. She looks to be in her twenties, but is probably older.
Of the four emperors of the Women's Kingdom, only this one died of lovesickness, and her reign lasted for more than thirty years. She was truly tragic.
"Nice to meet you, welcome to Wano Country."
Dimon snapped out of his thoughts and called a maid to bring him tea.
After sitting down, he got straight to the point:
"I heard from Abel that you've prepared Devil Fruits to exchange for wine?"
"Yes, I've painstakingly prepared 10 of them over the years!"
Xia Qi smiled radiantly.
Gloriosa quipped, "It's not hard work at all. Just say a few words and leave the treasure, and both the Navy and pirates will obediently give it to you."
I can imagine that scene; it's like a more powerful version of Boya Hancock.
Dimon looked at Toritoma, the current empress, who was smiling and silent.
Seeing Dimon looking at her, Toritoma took out a package, opened it, and inside were ten Devil Fruits of different shapes.
“Mr. Dimon, the item is with me.”
This was the first time he had ever seen so many Devil Fruits placed together; the sight was truly breathtaking.
Xia Qi covered her mouth and laughed, "I'm surprised too. I've accumulated so many over the years without even realizing it. Now I've come to find you with exactly 10."
Roger contributed two of them, right?
Dimon immediately said, "Ten fruits for ten cups..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Qi made a request, pleading with her hands clasped together:
"Don't be so stingy, it wouldn't hurt to give me one or two more bottles, right? Please, please."
Ha, trying to seduce with her beauty.
Dimon rolled his eyes at her. "I'll give you a maximum of three bottles. The extra two cups are a discount."
With that, he got up and left, returning a moment later with three bottles of the Elixir of Immortality.
Also brought along was a Devil Fruit encyclopedia.
Dimon handed the wine to Shaki and reminded her, "Drinking it repeatedly by one person won't have a greater effect."
"Okay, thank you for the wine!"
Xia Qi winked at Dimon, picked up the wine, and turned to leave.
As he reached the door, he suddenly turned back:
"By the way, do you mind if we stay in Huadu for a few more days?"
"Sure, you can stay as long as you like."
"Well then, bye-bye, Dimon."
With the three empresses gone, Dimon had no time to deal with them for the time being, and opened the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia to compare the ten Devil Fruits he had just acquired.
There were no surprises; it was all Zoan or Paramecia types. As for Logia, Ancient, or Mythical Zoan types, there wasn't a single one.
He swallowed it all in one gulp, and system notifications flashed before his eyes.
[Consuming a Devil Fruit grants 100 Devil Points.]
[Eat one...]
[Demon Points]: 1000 → 2500
The 10 fruits yielded a total of 1500 demon points. After deducting the cost of 3 bottles of wine, the net profit was 1200 points.
I really hope the Kuja Pirates will keep up the good work!
However, during the process of devouring, Dimon discovered an anomaly.
One of the fruits appears to have been consumed once before; it is a Zoan-type Rabbit Fruit.
It was one of the five ransoms obtained from the World Government when the Celestial Dragons were kidnapped in the Sabaody Archipelago.
"As expected, even if it is devoured, the fruit will still be reborn."
Dimon secretly guessed that the rebirth might take a while.
This is a good thing for him, as it means he can never finish eating all the Devil Fruits.
Looking at the 2500 points, there are still 500 points needed to unlock the next skill...
Stuck here, neither up nor down.
"Forget it, I'll level up my skills later. 2500 points is enough for 100 cups of Elixir of Immortality. I can go to the Deep Sea Prison and harvest some韭菜 (a metaphor for exploiting people)."
Dimon looked up out the window.
The midday sun shines brightly, while on the other side of the planet, in the deep-sea prison, it is night.
Perfect for doing something naughty!
The deep-sea prison, also known as "Impulse City".
It is located in the Calm Belt in the first half of the Grand Line, and the surrounding seas are inhabited by a large number of Sea Kings.
No one has ever escaped from this prison since it was built.
Even if they manage to escape from prison, they will still face the problem of sea kings.
After overcoming this hurdle, a massive gate of justice still blocks the way.
Even if the gates of justice are opened, there is a special current outside called the "Triangle Current".
Ships that enter the area will be swept away by the ocean currents, sailing back and forth between the Marine Headquarters, Enies Lobby, and Impel Down, with no way to escape.
It's safe to say that unless you can fly, you have no chance of escaping.
And coincidentally, Dimon can fly.
Above Impel Down, in the darkness of night, Dimon stood suspended in mid-air, silently observing the scene below.
More than ten warships were docked around Impel Down, with marines on guard at night to prevent any unusual occurrences.
"The defenses aren't very tight; I've seen several gaps in the defenses."
Dimon shook his head. Even if he couldn't fly, it wouldn't be difficult for him to sneak in.
Perhaps because no one has ever been able to escape from prison, it's normal to be a little lax.
