Who made him the Pirate King?.

Chapter 40 Admiral Aokiji, are you really not going to consider becoming a pirate? (Please read! Please vote for me!)
"I feel like you just said something dangerous..."

Aokiji chewed over Storm's recent remarks carefully and shook his head involuntarily.

Do you want to compete with the Emperor Pirates who dominate the New World with your own strength?
In the past few decades, only the Lone Red Patrick Redfield has done it!
But even the legendary solitary red.

Patrick Redfield's final outcome was that he was defeated by the Navy and sent to Impel Down to be imprisoned in the Infinite Hell.

The power of the Four Emperors Pirate Group is not just because of their "Emperor".

Fame, status, wealth, power, territory...

To become one of the "Four Emperors", there are so many requirements in all aspects!

If not.

It wouldn't have been until this year that Red-Haired Shanks was officially named one of the "Four Emperors" along with Whitebeard, Beasts, and Big Mom.

Aokiji felt that Storm's idea was a bit dangerous, but he didn't intend to dissuade him.

Members of the Blade Force can ignore orders from their superiors and move freely.

This is the rule set when the Blade Force was established!
Even Aokiji cannot break this rule casually.

Let's see how big a career Storm can achieve...

"But the idea of ​​looking for help is right."

Aokiji asked.

"Do you need me to introduce you to some companions from the Blade Force?"

"Other members of the Blade Force?"

Storm didn't expect Aokiji to bring up this matter, but he still refused directly.

“No need! If all the members of the Blade Force were at the same level as Peacock, they would be too weak.

"I want to recruit like-minded and competent companions, not to be a babysitter for my children!"

At the beginning, Aokiji thought that letting Storm go directly to the New World would be like sending him to his death.

Now, Storm also believes that other members of the Blade Force are not qualified to enter the new world.

At least not now!

Look at X. Drake, the future captain of the Blade Force.

The same extremely evil generation.

Some of them have become the Four Emperors.

And X. Drake’s level of strength isn’t even comparable to the Beasts Pirates’ big boss!

It's simply bringing shame to the Worst Generation!

Even the captain, X. Drake, is only this strong.

One can imagine the level of other members of the Blade Force.

At this stage.

Storm has not yet given any thought to training new people.

"Pirates playing house" or something like that...

There is no destiny and background of the Sun God.

Do you really think anyone can play this?!
"But then again."

Storm changed the subject.

“General Aokiji, I do have a favorite target in the Blade Force.

"I just don't know if the general is willing to release them."

Aokiji became interested.

"Who?"

"Kuzan."

“…Huh? Who?”

"The world government's top combat force, the admiral of the Navy Headquarters, the user of the Ice Fruit, Aokiji, Kuzan."

"I?"

Aokiji was stunned.

"Wait! Let me sort this out.

"You mean, you want me to go undercover as a pirate with you?"

"That's right!"

Storm said with great joy.

"General Aokiji, you are also a member of the Blade Force!
"Every member of the Blade Force should be aware of honing themselves in the darkness!"

Aokiji opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Let our generals serve under you and become your subordinates?

Storm, you are simply the opposite of Tiangang!

Aokiji's thoughts were directly disrupted by Storm's sudden invitation to join the gang.

He originally had a lot to say to Storm.

But now his whole head was buzzing.

"Ah la la..."

Aokiji rubbed his dizzy head.

“That joke isn’t funny, kid.

"Well, just follow your own ideas and continue your activities on the sea!
"If there is anything that requires your attention, I will contact you as soon as possible."

Seeing that Aokiji was about to hang up the Den Den Mushi, Storm shouted hurriedly.

"Admiral Aokiji, are you sure you don't want to consider becoming a pirate?"

"...Don't forget your identity! Storm! You are a marine!"

Aokiji was silent for a moment and reminded seriously.

"Even members of the Sharp Blade Force cannot wear the cloak of justice in a just and fair manner.

"But we have always been a righteous navy!"

"Justice? To maintain the justice of the World Government's rule? To maintain the brutal justice of the Celestial Dragons?"

Storm scoffed at so-called "naval justice."

"Forget it, Admiral Kuzan, I don't want to argue with you about what 'naval justice' is.

"I have another question, how much is my bounty this time?
"...What? No reward!?"

pat-

Storm hung up the Den Den Mushi indignantly.

"Isn't the World Government's approach too unrefined?!"

"Since there is such a big problem in Push City, at least you should issue a reward to show your appreciation!"

Storm originally thought that as long as the World Government offered a bounty, he would have some initial "fame".

If you want to become a great pirate, "becoming famous" is the first step!
As long as you have fame, the subsequent plans of recruiting subordinates will become much smoother.

if not.

An unknown newcomer inexplicably ran in front of some powerful people, and all he said was that he wanted to recruit people to join his gang...

It’s very difficult!

The World Government's determination to cover up the truth had a significant impact on Storm's plan.

"We have to execute a new plan and make our name known!"

While Storm was considering how to modify and improve his previous "subordinate recruitment plan".

After flying for most of the day, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon finally found a small island in the vast ocean.

When Storm rode the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and landed on the island.

He then discovered that the place was deserted and there was no trace of human activity.

"I was originally thinking of having a meal and staying overnight, but now it seems that I can only rely on myself..."

Storm looked toward the nearby sea.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon then looked towards the sea and opened its bloody mouth.

Balls of white clay were released by the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and they exploded the moment they hit the sea.

Rumbling--

Huge waves suddenly rose on the originally boundless calm sea.

Only a few seconds passed.

One dark shadow after another slid under the blue sea.

They are all sea kings attracted by the power of the "explosive clay" just now!

The Calm Belt, the nest of sea kings.

Any slight movement on the sea surface will attract the interest of sea kings.

The blue-eyes white dragon flapped its dragon wings, flew towards the sea, and then plunged into the sea.

Ordinary clay is easily softened and dispersed when it encounters heavy water.

But there is no need to worry about this for hard and solid porcelain clay.

slam-la-

The sea water surged into the sky, and the sound of fierce fighting broke out beneath the sea.

Storm waited for a while on the shore.

Several [Big Trophies] jumped out from the void one after another, all of them were——

[Silver Trophy: Sea King]

"Before in Impel Down, if you didn't train the water monkeys, going to the Calm Zone to fry fish would also be a good way to hunt trophies..."

Storm glanced at the silver trophies and then turned his attention to the sea.

After a while.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon crawled out of the sea with several huge sea kings and came to the beach.

Storm drew out the [Wine Iron Ore Sabre] worn at his waist and swung the sword in a very awkward manner.

Endless swordsmanship inspiration burst out in his mind.

Storm instantly felt the "breathing sound" coming from the surroundings.

The "breathing" of the sky, the "breathing" of the sea, the "breathing" of the stones, and the "breathing" of the sea king corpses ahead...

"If I were to describe it in the terms of a swordsman."

"This should be the so-called realm of [Slashing Iron], right?"

Storm gently swung the [Wine Iron Ore Sabre].

All of a sudden.

A flying slash mixed with blazing flames broke through the air and went straight for the corpses of the sea kings.

shhhhh--

The unstoppable flying slash easily cut the sea king's body into several pieces.

Storm dealt with the bodies, started to make a fire and grill the meat.

He is not skilled in his craft.

But it's okay.

Several silver trophies fell.

Storm has a four-star cooking skill!
A rich aroma began to spread across the uninhabited island.

Storm prepared all the food and quietly called out the only remaining [Diamond Trophy].

【Physique】Add points!
[Endurance: ★★★★★★☆] (6.5 stars)
The familiar feeling of hunger came back again.

Storm plunged into a war with food.

Two days later.

Storm remained on the island in the doldrums.

He hunts sea kings to obtain food, improve his physical fitness, and increase his digestion ability.

He had mastered all the abilities he had completed before, including two new Devil Fruit abilities.

Not only that.

The "Wish" function of the three Death Platinum Trophies that Storm had not used before was also used by him in the past two days.

[Bondi Waldo], [Plessy], [Bud ​​Wong Grace].

Three platinum trophies in exchange for three new five-star abilities.

This day.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon flapped its wings and flew away from this uninhabited island deep in the doldrums.

Storm only had one [Navy Headquarters Permanent Pointer] in his hand - this was the "gift" he received from the Equipment Department.

He had no intention of going to the Navy Headquarters now.

So he flew in the opposite direction towards the sea.

After several days of high-altitude flight.

After visiting one uninhabited island after another.

Storm finally found a small inhabited island.

He controlled the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to descend and arrive at the island's dock.

It was as if the arrival of the white dragon in mythology instantly caused panic among the people on the island.

On the dock.

Storm picked out a relatively calm passerby from the crowd.

"Excuse me, what is the name of this island?"

"Be, Belufast Island."

"I haven't heard of it... What are the closest large islands to this island? Judicial Island? Seven Waters?"

"I have never heard of these islands you mentioned, sir..."

"Ah? This isn't the Grand Line?"

“This is the South China Sea.”
