One Piece: Starting with the Immortal Rocks Pirates

Page 68

Today, this small town on the East China Sea is overcrowded.

People flocked to the port, and countless ships docked there.

Learning from the experience at Enies Lobby, the Navy did not deploy a large number of naval personnel there.

Its apparent size is only a few thousand people.

However, the high-end combat forces secretly prepared were all present.

A balcony of a high-rise building near the execution square.

Saint Somaz sat at the table on the balcony, where a steaming cup of coffee sat. He added three sugar cubes to the coffee, stirring it as he talked to the person sitting opposite him.

"Captain, this is a great spot. It offers a clear view of the execution plaza. If any remnants of the Roger Pirates dare to come, they will not escape my notice."

"I don't think they'll come."

The leader of the Knights of God, Gringu, crossed his arms and casually held a glass of red wine.

Will someone who's been fooled once fall for it again?

For pirates, betrayal is commonplace; they knowingly run into traps to their deaths.

Knowing that he wasn't very interested in Roger, Saint Somaz changed his tune:

"However, the Enies Lobby incident wasn't without its gains. According to intelligence provided by the Navy, that brewer is very likely hiding in Wano Country!"

Upon hearing Dimon's name, Green Gu Sheng's eyes immediately turned cold.

"You should have told me this sooner! I'll go to Wano Country myself after the execution!"

Rogge Town, a bustling commercial street.

The shop owners here are all grateful for Roger's selfless dedication.

His execution caused a surge in customer traffic during this period, and everyone made a fortune.

Dimon swaggered down the street, ignoring the naval patrols nearby who were maintaining order.

Twisted Future: Dio at 10 Years Old!

Unlike the ability to briefly mimic other Devil Fruits, this is the most basic ability of the Age-Age Fruit: changing one's age.

It can be maintained for a long time, and if he wants, it can even be maintained normally 24 hours a day.

Suddenly, Dimon spotted two short figures in gray cloaks hurrying into the alley.

Dimon immediately followed.

In the alley, two children hid around a corner and talked quietly.

"Shanks, Rayleigh and the others, will they come to rescue the captain? I don't want to see the captain executed!"

"Calm down, Bucky. The captain will be alright!"

As Shanks said this, he was actually quite worried.

They both hoped someone would rescue the captain and didn't want Rayleigh and his crew to actually come.

Even a child like him can understand this, so surely Rayleigh and the others would know it too, right?

Bucky isn't stupid either. Having spent so much time with Shanks since childhood, he can sense the confusion in his companion's heart.

"Hey Shanks, I don't care if Rayleigh and the others come or not, I absolutely have to save Captain Roger!"

“I wanted to save them too, but Bucky, we’re just two kids…”

Shanks opened his mouth, his heart filled with anguish.

Just then, a figure walked out from around the corner.

"It really was the two of you."

Both of them were startled.

They are wanted criminals, and although their bounty is only 1 Berries, their status as crew members of the Pirate King means that if their faces are exposed, it will definitely attract the attention of the Navy.

At that point, forget about saving the captain; there might be two more souls lost on the execution platform.

"it's me……"

Damon extended his index finger and gestured towards Shanks.

Upon seeing this familiar gesture, Shanks immediately recalled unpleasant memories.

"D...Dimon? How come you've turned into a child?"

Shanks was astonished.

Bucky ignored all of that and cried out excitedly, "Uncle Damon, please save Captain Roger! I beg you!"

"That uncle is going too far! I'm still a young man, forever 20 years old!"

Damon patted Bucky on the head and asked, "What are you two doing here? Aren't you with Rayleigh and the others?"

The two exchanged a glance, and Shanks quickly explained:

"Three months ago, Captain Roger and his crew went to Enies Lobby to rescue Shakky, leaving the two of us behind in the Sabaody Archipelago."

"After that, we heard that the captain was going to be executed in Loguetown, so we tried to hitch a ride on someone else's merchant ship to the East China Sea."

"We just arrived two days ago!"

Because many people wanted to see the execution, and many ships would come to the East China Sea, and since the two of them had followed Roger all over the country, they couldn't be viewed as ordinary children.

"I see. Come on, let me treat you to dinner."

Dimon nodded knowingly and gestured for the two to leave the alley.

"Hey, Uncle Damon, are you still in the mood for food?" Bucky hurriedly caught up. "Try to save the captain! I'll agree to let you turn into a woman for one day!"

Your sacrifice for Roger was quite significant.

Dimon chuckled and said, "The execution is still several hours away, what's the rush? Let's take a look around first."

Seeing this, Shanks and Bucky put their hoods back on to cover their faces and followed Damon away.

Just as I was looking for a restaurant, I saw a cool-looking kid, about ten years old, right in front of me on the street.

The kid walked into a weapons shop on the street.

"Wait a minute, that person... let's go take a look."

Dimon immediately followed him into the weapons shop.

As soon as I entered, I saw that aloof kid talking to the boss.

"I want a sword. Do you have any famous swords here?"

"Huh? Where did this brat come from... Can you even afford that? A famous sword, no less!"

The shop owner scoffed, busy with business and not wanting to deal with the little brat, so he waved him away.

The aloof kid, expressionless, turned and walked to the knife rack to choose one himself.

Suddenly, someone pressed down on my shoulder.

He turned his head and saw three children.

The person who patted him on the shoulder looked the oldest, around ten years old, while the other two were shorter.

"What's the matter?"

"I see you have a sword hanging at your waist, are you a swordsman?" Dimon smiled: "What's your name?"

"Jolac Mihawk".

Young Hawkeye calmly gave his name.

Dimon chuckled to himself; this town must be teeming with "new generation" people right now, right?

Perfect timing, Dior, the king of kids, is on the move!

“I’m a swordsman too, and I specialize in finger-blade techniques.” Dimon extended his index finger and beckoned to young Hawkeye.

"How about a friendly spar? The loser becomes the underling, and the winner becomes the boss!"

(The picture shows a young version of Hawkeye)

Chapter 84: I, from the old era, become the ship of the new era!

Young Hawkeye is still Hawkeye, and his personality is no different from when he grew up.

He simply gave a curt reply to Dimon's challenge and then ignored it.

The little kid ignored me...!

Dimon was devastated and, as a reliable adult man, he had to get his revenge.

This is the pride of being the king of kids!

"You're not scared, are you, kid?" Dimon provocatively asked.

It's hard, the fist is hard.

Dimon's smile almost froze on his face as he began to apply slight pressure to young Hawkeye's hand.

Hawkeye's expression changed slightly; he could sense that this child was frighteningly strong.

He forced himself not to cry out and said in a deep voice:

"What do you want?"

"Let's get acquainted first. My name is Dio. Many high-ranking kids call me Big Brother. You can call me that too."

Dimon then released his grip, patting the shoulder that had been squeezed until it was red. "Let's go, Hawkeye, you're not really scared, are you?"

Young Hawkeye remained silent for a moment, then immediately put the knife back on the rack, and followed Dimon and the other two out of the weapon shop without saying a word.

He rubbed his shoulder, which had been pinched so hard, and secretly gasped. The pain was so intense that his arm felt like it was going to break.

"Uncle Dimon..."

"I am Dior now."

Bucky said helplessly, "Brother Dior, do we have time to play around with a little kid? Hurry up and save him...it hurts!"

Dimon tapped Bucky on the head. "You're just a little kid yourself. He's older than you."

How can that be the same? I, Buggy, am a member of the Pirate King's crew!

Bucky touched the bump on his head, wincing in pain.

Shanks whispered, "Bucky, that guy Mihawk is pretty strong."

"How did you know, Shanks?"

"A swordsman's intuition!"

Shanks has a feeling of encountering a nemesis.

Behind them, young Hawkeye was a few steps behind Dimon and the others, and could only hear them talking in hushed tones, but he couldn't tell what they were saying.

After following him silently for a while, he couldn't help but ask:

“I’m not called Hawkeye, I have a name. And where are you taking me?”

"Stop talking nonsense, just follow along."

Dimon walked down the street with his hands in his pockets, leading a bunch of kids.

Instead of sparring with Hawkeye, he used his Observation Haki to search for any possible presences.

Since Hawkeye is here, there are probably other people here too.

If I remember correctly, in the original history, there were several powerful figures among those who witnessed the execution of the Pirate King.

"Hey, that's..."

Suddenly, Dimon sensed a rather unique aura.

Judging from the "sound" being transmitted, it is a young child, but the "sound" being emitted by the body is very loud.

It is much larger than that of an average adult male.

"Come on, follow me."
