It's a classic remake.
"Cough, cough cough cough..."
Babel coughed up blood repeatedly, but despite his immortality, he showed no fear in the face of a mere fatal wound.
It's not like you'll die, so what's there to be afraid of?
However, being beaten up is very unpleasant. Where did this old man come from?
I can't beat them, I can't beat them at all, I have to think of a way to escape!
They shouldn't have come to the Hive!
"This ability shouldn't belong to you; your ability is rock..."
Babel gritted his teeth.
Another punch, and Babel's entire head was gone, swallowed by lava.
A headless corpse slowly fell backward.
However, the power of his immortality continued to work hard to heal his injuries.
Dimon looked at him calmly.
"You think being immortal makes you invincible? You won't recover in less than half a day!"
Chapter 107 The Invitation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea
Last time in Loguetown, Zephyr lost half his body and it took him a full five days to recover.
Babel's injuries were much "lighter," consisting only of having his head blown off and a hole opened in his abdomen.
Half a day is enough time to regenerate.
The premise is that no further injuries are sustained during this period.
However, Dimon immediately realized that without a head, it would be useless to devour it.
Babel can only devour it once his head grows out.
"An immortal body is indeed powerful; it can't even die like this."
At that moment, the Red Earl walked over, holding an umbrella.
He looked down at the headless corpse, marveling at Babel's tenacious vitality.
“I can hear the sounds inside his body. He is still alive, even thriving. His flesh and blood are visibly regenerating.”
"It's just a stubborn cockroach."
Dimon grabbed Babel's foot and dragged him away slowly.
A gust of yellow sand swept by, and Crocodile materialized, glancing at Babel, who looked like a dead dog.
As expected of the eldest brother, a mere 17 billion bounty pirate was dealt with in the blink of an eye.
"Let's take him with us and go."
After tossing Babel's headless corpse to Crocodile, Dimon headed towards the Skull Hotel.
Soon, news of the battle that broke out here spread throughout the entire Beehive Island, causing a sensation.
"What? The remnants of Lox's forces have shown up?"
"【Blazing Soul】Babel, was that the towering flames just now?"
"Wow, such a powerful pirate was actually defeated!"
"A centenarian swordsman, how terrifying!"
"This is already the second member of the Rocks Pirates to fall under Yamamoto Genryusai's sword..."
Why did these two get into a conflict? Was it over a Devil Fruit?
"Could it be a personal grudge?"
Faced with such shocking news, the pirates on the island couldn't help but be suspicious.
Does Yamamoto Genryusai have a grudge against the Rocks Pirates?
When Rocks dominated the New World, he made countless enemies, so it's perfectly normal for him to have foes.
Moreover, it's said that it wasn't for the sake of the Devil Fruit; Yamamoto Genryusai made his move the moment he saw Babel.
Therefore, the speculation that the two sides have a grudge against each other seems all the more believable.
"There are now hundreds of pirate crews gathered on this island... it's practically a monster's den."
"There are countless pirates with bounties over 100 million, and there are also some with bounties of up to 1 billion."
"And there are also ruthless figures like the centenarian swordsman and the Red Earl..."
"The trade fair doesn't start for another two days. Just how many big names and powerful figures will show up then?"
There is a garbage dump on the south shore of Beehive Island.
At this moment, at the foot of a mountain of garbage.
A man with a cross-shaped scar on his face is sitting on a stack of cardboard boxes, communicating with the outside world using a white Den Den Mushi (snail phone).
“A centenarian swordsman has appeared here. He fought with Babel. The battle didn’t last long, and he won.”
"This information must be very important, so we'll use the classified Den Den Mushi for now."
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi before the crucial question was asked:
"why?"
The man understood what the other person meant and explained, "I don't know, maybe they have a grudge."
He briefly explained his reasoning.
"Is there a grudge? It's quite possible! We've been searching for him without success, and if we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we'll find out his whereabouts again, so..."
The Den Den Mushi closed its mouth and paused for a moment, seemingly hesitating.
The man calmly replied, "I am the captain of 'Sharp Blade,' so I can handle this."
"Then it's up to you!" He paused for a moment before lowering his voice: "Regarding the task involving the wine, if things don't go well, you can abandon it immediately to ensure your safety. I have other ways to get it."
Skull Hotel.
With two days to go before the trade fair, the grand hotel is already fully booked.
However, at Dimon's "kind" request, a kind-hearted pirate voluntarily gave up his room.
"You are free to move around now."
Damon left Babel aside and said to Crocodile, "You only have two days left. You'd better hurry up and grab a Devil Fruit."
"I'll get it!"
Crocodile left immediately.
Dimon closed the door behind him, sat down on the sofa, and casually picked up the newspaper on the table and flipped through it.
These were all left behind by the previous guest. When the pirates saw him, they ran away in fear, not even having time to pack their things.
The news featured the "Baccano! Trade Fair" in large sections, and Morgans reported on it repeatedly for a month in order to sell newspapers.
I bring it up every now and then.
As the trading date approached, an entire section of a newspaper was dedicated to the trade fair.
There's not much to say about the trade fair itself; the newspapers just provided a lot of information.
For example, a certain pirate crew landed on Beehive Island and is suspected of possessing a large number of Devil Fruits.
This malicious content makes it immediately clear what Morgans is up to.
"There are now hundreds of pirate crews gathered on this island. How did he manage to gather so much information?"
Dimon had to admire this guy; his intelligence-gathering ability was truly impressive.
Dimon raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the windowsill.
A tiny paper figure slipped through the crack in the window, then floated lightly onto the table in front of Dimon.
He examined the little thing.
"Interesting, a Devil Fruit user? A Paramecia-type Paper-Paper Fruit user with paper clones?"
The little paper figure first bowed respectfully, and then began to speak in human language.
"Hello, Mr. Yamamoto Genryusai."
"I am a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user, the Paper-Paper Fruit. I can't reveal my name, but I can tell you my code name as a Marine..."
Judging from the voice, it was a man, and he was older, at least in his thirties.
Of course, this is just a first impression, without any actual evidence.
Dimon crossed his legs.
“That’s right, I am Rear Admiral White Shadow, the captain of the Navy’s secret special forces unit, 'Sharp Blade'.”
Dimon remembered the sharp blade.
This is a naval unit that has returned its naval designation and is ostensibly in a state of disengagement; it is a guerrilla force capable of operating freely.
They can wage war against the Four Emperors without permission from their superiors!
Of course, there are no so-called Four Emperors now, only Five Peaks.
Dimon remembered it because this unit was the same one that Koby later acquired.
"So, the Navy wants to see me about something?"
"Lord Yamamoto Genryusai, your strength is comparable to the so-called Five Great Pirates. We have great respect for you and would like to invite you to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
The little paper figure spoke in a very serious tone, while also conveying sufficient respect.
Dimon smiled; the Navy really thought highly of a centenarian.
But that's normal. After all, they're here to invite him to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea. What's wrong with saying a few nice things?
The little paper figure continued to explain:
"Regarding the Seven Warlords of the Sea, this is a measure taken by the World Government to deal with the rapidly expanding pirate forces..."
Before he could finish speaking, Dimon had an idea.
He released a crimson Conqueror's Haki aura, and streaks of red lightning shot out of the window like snakes.
"Got you!"
The landfill on the south coast.
Major General Bai Ying shuddered as three red flashes came from a great distance and instantly locked onto him.
"That domineering aura...!!"
Damn it, I can't move!
Chapter 108: The Golden Lion clashes with Big Mom.
The landfill on the south coast is a long distance away from the Skull Hotel in the center of the island.
Major General Bai Ying never expected that the other party could discover him even at this point.
He even used his Conqueror's Haki to intimidate him from a distance, rendering him unable to move for a time.
"Please don't do anything rash! I surrender..."
General Bai Ying raised his hands high, his forehead covered in cold sweat, and shouted into the air:
"I have no ill intentions, Lord Yuan Liuzhai. The Navy has not previously issued a bounty on you, so I don't think we have any conflicting positions!"
Inside the hotel room.
The little dwarf on the table also raised his hands and said the exact same words.
