It wasn't a teleportation ability that forcibly changed his location; rather, it was some kind of ability that created a pitch-black space.
The purpose was to prevent him from escaping?
His thoughts were trapped in the domain in an instant. After a one-second delay, the Red Earl decisively fled in the original direction.
He can't win against two opponents; a meaningless fight is just a waste of time.
He had only one thought in mind.
Roger didn't seem to be chasing after them; according to his Observation Haki, he remained in the same spot.
The Red Earl ignored him and sped off, eventually...
It has reached the barrier of the domain!
This eerie, dark space could even prevent him from using his Observation Haki to probe outwards.
The Red Earl gripped his scythe tightly and slashed suddenly at the obstacle in his path.
After a dull thud, the barrier of the domain remained unmoved, and his scythe was bounced back.
"It's no use. You can't break through my domain by yourself."
Dimon walked over unhurriedly.
Unlike the Red Earl, neither he nor Roger, as demons, had their vision unaffected by darkness.
To be precise, it means being able to see everything even in the dark.
“It’s indeed very tough!” Count Red turned around, his tone calm: “So, what exactly is your purpose?”
“You asked me a question at the trade fair on Beehive Island before, and now I can tell you the answer.”
Dimon snapped his fingers.
With a snap, figures emerged from the darkness in the next moment.
Wang Zhi, the "Grandmaster of Pirates".
"Blazing Soul" Babel.
"Pot lid head" Kozuki Oden.
Even Columbus, the warden of the deep-sea prison, made an appearance.
The Red Earl could not see them with the naked eye, but he could sense them with his Observation Haki. Four powerful auras suddenly appeared!
Not only him, but Roger was also stunned.
"What's going on? Are they like me?"
“It’s different. You are a member of the family, while they are just puppets.”
The puppet has no mind; it only has the instinct to fight.
With a wave of his hand, Dimon sent the four of them charging toward the Red Earl.
"Back to the topic we were discussing, the answer to your question is right in front of you."
Faced with the attack of four people, and having to be on guard against Roger and Dimon, the Red Earl could only dodge constantly and dared not retaliate easily.
Upon hearing what Dimon said, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he immediately understood.
"So that's it, the Elixir of Immortality! Drinking your elixir will make us control you, is that your true purpose, brewer!"
"You're half right." Dimon's lips curled into a slight smile. "If I gave you a chance to say something before you died, what would you say?"
"As expected, there is no such thing as easy immortality in this world; eternal life is a trap!" Count Red sneered arrogantly as he dealt with the encirclement and attack. "But your control is still missing a necessary step, isn't it? Otherwise, you wouldn't need to trap me here!"
"These are your last words?"
Dimon found it boring; these immortals didn't say anything nice when facing death, it was really uninteresting.
"If you can defeat me, then bring it on!"
Count Red roared and unleashed his Observation Haki to its maximum.
Even further into the future!
In countless defeated futures, we search for a future of escape!
“Interesting,” Dimon chuckled. “I, Dimon, acknowledge you as the strongest in Observation Haki!”
The Red Earl had no time to pay attention to such praise.
He swung his scythe in a wide arc, slicing Kozuki Oden and Ooichi in half at the waist, then slightly turned his body to avoid a punch from behind.
With a backhand swing of the scythe, he anticipated Babel's dodge and severed his hand with another blow.
However, the fourth person's sneak attack succeeded. Columbus kicked the Red Earl hard, sending him flying and crashing directly into the barrier of the domain.
With a "poof," Count Red spat out a mouthful of blood.
Of the four, Columbus was the strongest, possessing the fighting strength of a general during his lifetime!
“Even if you can foresee the future, there are situations you can’t avoid. The future you’re seeing isn’t far enough ahead, Baron Redfield.”
Dimon smiled slightly and called out the Red Earl's full name.
"Next, it's a righteous six against one. Let's get started, Roger."
Roger was still a little confused, but the order from the higher-ranking demon made him subconsciously join the battle.
With the two of them joining the fray, the situation became one-sided.
Two King-level combatants, one General-level combatant, and three Deputy Emperor-level combatants!
Faced with such a star-studded lineup, the Red Earl had no choice but to suffer in silence, becoming a punching bag and getting beaten up by everyone.
Neptune had just returned and hadn't even had a chance to see his father when a soldier rushed in to report.
"Lord Neptune, a strange phenomenon has occurred in the Sea Forest!"
"The bubble enveloping the Sea Forest has been broken by someone, and the entire forest is now shrouded in a giant black sphere!"
The soldier quickly reported, "Before that, there was a huge commotion coming from the Sea Forest; it seems like someone was fighting there!"
Upon hearing this, Neptune immediately thought of Dimon and Roger.
The moment these two arrived on Fishman Island, such a strange situation immediately arose, which would make anyone suspicious.
"Immediately issue the order: Head to the Sea Forest!"
Neptune, disregarding his duty to see his father, immediately ordered the army to assemble.
He wasn't looking for trouble; he wasn't that stupid. If it were Roger or Dimon, those two could destroy Fishman Island in a heartbeat.
Instead, he simply led a group to greet the distinguished guest!
Even when surrounded by six people, the Red Earl couldn't hold out for long.
In less than twenty minutes, they were defeated.
Roger cut him in two at the waist, Kozuki Oden severed his right hand, Wang Zhi suppressed his left hand, Columbus trampled his feet into the mud, and Babel bit his chest.
The last head was held in front of Dimon.
For an immortal being, this injury is about the same as an ordinary person accidentally cutting their finger while chopping vegetables.
“You won…” Count Red said in silence.
Can't hit a bit.
Even the most powerful Observation Haki and the strongest ability to foresee the future cannot withstand such a massive attack.
His most powerful mind-reading ability was useless against this group of people.
Roger and Dimon's domineering presence is too overwhelming; I can't read it.
The other four are puppets, utterly devoid of any substance.
"Will I become like those people? No, I won't be able to be called human anymore, just a puppet that can move!"
Count Red closed his eyes and accepted his fate: "Kill me. If it were you, you should have a way to kill the undead. After all, you're the one who brewed the wine."
Upon hearing this, Dimon remained expressionless, simply stating:
"Then, farewell, Barolorik."
The power of the demon enveloped the Red Earl's head, and in a mere second, a head turned to dust and vanished.
Chapter 130 Breaking Through the Limits of Observation Haki
The Red Earl, Baron Ryderfield, is very powerful.
As one of the five strongest in the current era, and even on par with the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates on his own, it would take Damon quite a while to defeat him in a one-on-one fight.
But a siege is different.
Even with the domain sealed off, the Red Earl could only hold out for less than twenty minutes.
At this moment, his head turned to dust and was swallowed up, and Dimon "saw" all of his life's memories.
They awaken their Observation Haki at birth, and it grows stronger with age until one day they can see into the hearts of others.
The human heart is too dangerous to be looked at directly!
Those are often extremely ugly things.
Everyone has a dark side, but most people only think about it and don't act on it.
But Barolorik could see through this dark side. Having witnessed the ugliness of human nature, he was extremely averse to others, which led to his reclusive personality.
Until one day, he encountered the Rumbar Pirates who were resting on the shore, and met Brook, the musician of the Rumbar Pirates.
He was inspired by Brooke's ideals and began to admire him.
After growing up, Barolok went to sea and became a pirate. Because of his powerful Observation Haki, he easily became a famous figure on the sea.
Even during the period when the Rocks Pirates were active, he was a renowned pirate.
The Navy's current Fleet Admiral, Steelbone Kong, once tried to capture him, and in the ensuing battle, Barrorick emerged victorious.
After that, rumors of the Elixir of Immortality quietly spread among pirates.
Barolorik didn't believe it at first.
It wasn't until Roger became the Pirate King and was publicly executed in Loguetown that he came to believe in the Elixir of Immortality.
Barolorick sets out on the high seas in search of the legendary brewer.
The opportunity to obtain it soon arrived, with news reports of an immortal wine trade fair.
He stole a Devil Fruit from a government warship, went to Beehive Island, and traded it for a cup of wine.
He became immortal!
The rumors were indeed true!
Having gained immortality, Baloric set his sights on the next stage: finding a way to reach Laugh Tale. Shortly after leaving Beehive Island, he met someone.
Jabba, the third-ranking member of Roger's pirate crew.
During his conversation with the other party, he learned that the Roger Pirates had disbanded, which made him feel melancholy.
Through Jabba, Baroric learned of the existence of the Red Poneglyphs.
After some investigation, he guessed that one of them might exist on Fishman Island.
He arrived at Fishman Island and found the red signpost stone in the Sea Forest, but unexpectedly, the text on it could not be deciphered.
"This is an ancient script!"
Baroric decided to go to the Western Sea, where Ohara, as a sacred site for archaeology, might be able to decipher the script.
Perhaps Roger did the same.
He has already obtained one of the great treasures and the elixir of immortality; he must find the other one no matter what.
It wasn't that he wanted any treasure; he just wanted something to exist, like the riddle Roger posed to the world, and he wanted to solve it.
But something unexpected happened.
In the final moments before he was devoured, he felt no intense resentment.
The biggest regret is that it would have been better if it had been a little later.
