Why do things always go wrong?
He simply wanted to establish communication between Elbaf and other countries around the world, but the World Government wanted to stop him, and Rocks insisted on bringing him on board.
After waiting so long, the World Government has finally agreed to Elbaf's request to join them, and now Rocks is back.
This time, they even added Dimon!
“Hahaha... You’re so naive, Harald.”
Rocks suddenly burst into laughter, straightened up, sat down in the snow, and sneered, "The World Government is just using you, can't you understand that!"
"Aren't you?"
Harald's words immediately darkened Lockes's expression.
Dimon, not wanting to waste words, walked over to Harald and reached out to press down on his arm.
"Watch closely, Rocks, this is how you subdue people. Demon creation!"
A surge of dark demonic power erupted from Dimon's palm, instantly enveloping Harald.
"What's this!?"
Harald's expression changed, but he was too weak to resist.
Darkness engulfed him.
Rocks said angrily, "That idiot is so stubborn! Once he becomes a familiar, I will definitely not hold back!!"
Do you want to fight him again?
Dimon looked speechless. Rocks and Harald reminded him of Garp and Roger.
The friendship between men is just that strange.
One minute later, the darkness faded.
Harald was transformed into the third demon familiar by him, not counting the other little Karami.
Dimon currently only has three members of his family whom he acknowledges.
Roger, Rocks, Harald.
Suddenly, Dimon raised an eyebrow, looked at the freshly baked third familiar, and let out a soft exclamation.
(The number of chapters has finally surpassed 10,000! Congratulations!)
Chapter 167 I'm a Little Interested in Im
Dimon let out a soft "hmm".
This transformation is different from the previous ones; Harald seems to possess the power of Im.
"Is there a mark on your shoulder or body?"
Harald was still a little dazed.
He only remembered being swallowed by darkness, and a strange power surging into his body, as if doing something to him on a soul level.
Upon hearing Dimon's voice, he turned his head slightly to look at the other person.
In that instant, he felt an urge to prostrate himself in worship.
It was as if a lower-ranking creature, facing a higher-ranking predator, expressed a deep-seated sense of submission.
"what did you do to me?"
He turned you into his family.
Rocks struggled to his feet and walked slowly over, saying as he went, "Dimon is a Devil Fruit user who has become a demon, a demon from mythology, and you, now you are a demon's servant, as am I."
Upon hearing this, Dimon retorted irritably, "What do you mean by a Devil Fruit becoming sentient? I've already said I'm a demon, not a Devil Fruit."
“They’re all the same, aren’t they?” Rocks grinned.
Harald was deeply moved, as it reminded him of his son, Loki.
Loki was born with a pair of devilish eyes.
His biological mother was afraid of her own son because of this.
Those eyes possessed a special power; even when wrapped in bandages, they could clearly see everything.
“Answer my question, Harald,” Dimon repeated with a smile, “Is there a mark on your shoulder?”
“Yes.” Harald’s eyes clouded over as he nodded in affirmation.
"Did Im carve it for you?"
“Im…you mean the one above the Five Elders? I’ve heard Rocks mention him before, but I’ve never seen him.”
As he spoke, he lifted the chainmail on his right shoulder, revealing a unique tattoo.
Similar to the flag of the World Government, it features a circle with two intersecting horizontal and vertical bars, the ends of which are shaped like a whale's tail.
"More than a decade ago, members of the Knights of God came to this country, and I received them at the royal palace."
"They drew a magic circle on the ground, had me stand on it, and then this thing appeared on my body."
"According to them, this pattern can ensure that I can use a magic circle to teleport over long distances."
During the God Valley incident, the Five Elders used this mark to teleport him to that island.
It was around that time that he first met Dimon.
However, there was one thing he didn't mention.
The Five Elders sent him to kill Rocks, because if he killed Rocks, Elbaf could become a member state.
Unfortunately, he ultimately couldn't make up his mind.
Until Rocks came to him, the two went through a great battle, and their friendship was severed.
The Five Elders also used this as an excuse to make trouble, believing that he had failed in his mission, and as punishment, they left this mark on his shoulder.
After observing for a moment, Lockes said with certainty:
"I also saw this pattern on the Knights of God during the battle at God Valley in 84."
Dimon seemed thoughtful. "After you got this pattern, did you feel anything different? For example, did you gain something like the immortality of the Knights of God?"
“No.” Harald shook his head.
“If he were immortal, he wouldn’t have been injured in our fight just now.” Lox frowned. “What’s wrong with this pattern?”
"I'm not sure, but it must be some kind of ability of Im."
Dimon pondered for a moment, already having a guess in his mind.
The circumstances under which Im creates an immortal body should be divided into several levels.
The lowest level is probably like Harald, who only has a patterned mark but no immortality.
The next level up is the Order of the Gods, who bear a mark and are also immortal.
The next level up is the Five Elders, who are immortal.
So, here's the problem.
Why did Im leave his mark on Harald?
Is the intention to transform Harald into a loyal subordinate like the Five Elders?
If that's the case, it can only mean one thing.
This transformation is far less convenient than his [Demon Creation], which he can do in just one minute, but Im cannot.
Im needs time to change a person's memory, or perhaps their cognition.
For example, Junzi's memory was clearly tampered with by Im.
Immediately afterwards, Dimon remembered Im's [Dark to Domination].
This ability can quickly turn the enemy to your side, making them Im's pawns.
Does the fact that Harald wasn't treated this way mean that the shift from Black to Dominion isn't permanent?
Is it just a temporary control measure?
Or perhaps, the stronger the domineering aura of the person who has been blackened, the stronger their resistance to this ability will be?
Furthermore, Harald's domineering aura was so strong that Black Domination couldn't control it.
In a short moment, a mark on Harald's shoulder sparked a lot of associations for Dimon.
It sounds complicated, but it only takes a few seconds.
"What are you thinking about?" Lockes asked, somewhat concerned.
"It's nothing, let's go back to the tavern first."
Dimon shook his head and chuckled, "Harald, your wife is worried about you."
Not long after, at Ida's tavern.
Haildin's three friends stood outside the tavern, peering through the window to see what was happening inside.
Haildin gave each of the three a slap and scolded them, "Don't eavesdrop on the adults' conversation."
"Ouch, that hurts! I'm a grown-up now!" Rod rubbed his head and muttered, "Aren't you curious about what your dad and those two are talking about?"
"Not curious!"
Halding was a serious person, and since his father wouldn't let the children in, they shouldn't have eavesdropped.
Who are those people inside?
Harald, Lox, and Dimon are all monster-level super strongmen.
Their eavesdropping was definitely discovered long ago.
Ida stood behind the bar, helplessly watching her husband and Rocks drink and chat.
It's unbelievable. Just a short time ago, these two were fighting to the death, but after the fight, their relationship actually improved, just like before.
However, what she didn't know was that the giant king before her was no longer the same giant king as before.
"So, what exactly are you going to do?"
Sitting at the dining table, Harald held a wine glass in one hand and looked at the two little humans on the table.
First he looked at Lox, and finally his gaze settled on Dimon.
After all, Dimon was his and Lox's master.
"Destroy the World Government? That's a colossal enemy, tantamount to making an enemy of the entire world. And what happens after that? You want to become the King of the World too?"
Dimon sat cross-legged, holding a huge flat-bottomed glass, and took a small sip of wine.
The drink in the land of giants is called "absinthe," and drinking too much of it can cause hallucinations, but that's nothing to him, being a demon.
Setting down his glass, Dimon smiled slightly and said:
"I'm just a little interested in Im as a person!"
Chapter 168 Artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruits
Are you interested in Im?
Lox spat out his drink, staring in disbelief, and said:
"That woman is an old woman who has lived for over eight hundred years, not as good as your husband, Tianyue Shi!"
"What's this mess?"
The interest he expressed was not the kind of interest a man has in a woman.
It is a demon who has developed an interest in the existence of another suspected demon.
However, to be honest, Dimon had never actually seen what Im looked like.
In the previous Ohara incident, Im appeared as a monster.
"You saw Im's true face among the flowers before. Is she really a woman?" Dimon asked with some curiosity.
