Who made him the Pirate King?.

Chapter 82: Five Elders: Well done! (Fourth update with 1.6 words, please subscribe!)
"Big Bear."

Storm picked up the Den Den Mushi and asked straight to the point.

"Have you finally arrived at the East China Sea?"

The other end of the phone bug.

East China Sea, Kingdom of Oikot.

The Great Bear stood on a giant bear paw print.

Next to him were Kidd and Kira, who were stretching their bodies and relaxing their muscles.

Like the big bear, Kidd and Kira also stepped on a hole with a bear paw-like mark.

This is a special trace left at the target location after the "teleportation ability" of the [Meat-ball Fruit] ends.

"Kid, Kira and I have just arrived at the Kingdom of Oikot in the East Sea."

Da Kuma asked softly while holding up the Den Den Mushi.

"What about you, Storm? You should still be some distance away from Alabasta, right?"

...Alabasta?

Storm was silent for a moment.

A few days ago.

Storm, Big Bear, Kidd, and Kira split into two groups and set out from the Kingdom of Solbe in the South China Sea almost at the same time.

The former went to Alabasta in the Grand Line to carry out the "Seven Warlords of the Sea Hunting Plan."

The latter few people went to the East China Sea to look for Germa 66 to see if there is any way to treat "Jade Scale" in that technological kingdom.

result.

Storm was the first to set off and the first to arrive.

If Gaya Island is included, Storm passed through a total of five islands.

Alabasta, Little Garden, Banaro Island, Sky Island, Gaya Island...

But until today.

Big Bear just received a call via Den Den Mushi, saying they had finally arrived in the East China Sea...

Storm had an inexplicable feeling that he was in another world.

Is this what it feels like when teammates can’t keep up with the version…

"I'm on Gaya Island now, and I'm going to Sky Island later."

Storm gave a brief explanation.

“There were a lot of things that happened, and it’s hard to explain them all at once.

"In short, I have now become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"……Um?"

The big bear tilted his head, looking confused.

Didn't he and Storm set out at the same time?

The "teleportation ability" of the [Gall-in-the-Ball Fruit] cannot achieve "instant arrival at the destination".

Generally speaking, as the transmission distance increases, the time consumed by the transmission will also increase.

The Great Bear traveled from the South Sea to the Kingdom of Oikot in the East Sea.

Storm travels from the South Sea to Alabasta on the Grand Line.

The distance they moved was almost the same.

Even Storm's side is a little further away...

According to Daxiong's calculations, Storm should still be in the sky at this moment.

but……

What does "We're going to Sky Island later" mean?
What does "having become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea" mean?
Big Bear was extremely confused.

Could it be that he...had skipped time?
"It's too much trouble to explain these things on Den Den Mushi. If it's convenient for you, go collect the newspapers from the past few days."

Storm still didn't explain to Big Bear.

"Read more books and newspapers, and you will know what is going on..."

After hearing what Storm said, Big Bear answered honestly.

"I see."

"You have arrived at the Kingdom of Oikot now. Have you seen the soldiers of Germa 66?"

Storm asked with concern.

"As far as I know, all the troops of Germa 66 are clones created using genetic technology. They are easy to identify."

"I haven't seen any clone troopers yet."

The big bear raised his head and looked at the surroundings, a faint red light flashed in his eyes.

"But I 'heard' that the country is in chaos.

"Germa 66 should not have left the Kingdom of Oikot yet."

The origin of Germa 66 is located in the North Sea.

Normally, Germa 66 will not leave the North Sea to operate in other waters.

But there are exceptions to everything.

Germa 66 is a mercenary team.

Although their overall strength is not as good as that of the Four Emperors or the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

But compared with ordinary countries, the power of Germa 66 is still very strong.

Many years ago.

Vinsmoke Judge once led Germa 66 to defeat the four North Sea kingdoms at the same time, triggering the "Four Kingdoms Slash" incident that shocked the North Sea.

As long as the money is enough.

Let alone letting Germa 66 go to the East China Sea, there is absolutely no problem in letting them come to the South China Sea!

About seven years ago.

Germa 66 was once employed by a certain force. It crossed the Red Earth Continent, entered the East China Sea, and defeated the Kingdom of Corkia.

They came to the East China Sea again this year, simply because they were hired by another force.

That's what a mercenary state is like.

"You guys, continue to act according to the previously made plan."

Storm said slowly.

"If Germa 66 can really heal Jade Scale, I will rush over as fast as I can."

Big Bear nodded seriously.

"I see."

Storm gave a few more instructions.

He knew that Big Bear's personality was more...gentle.

So this time, the people he gave instructions to were mainly Kidd and Killer.

Storm didn't think Germa 66 was a friendly green force.

Just as the world calls it.

Germa 66 is an "evil army"!
When dealing with villains, you must be evil enough yourself to avoid unnecessary problems.

Asking Kidd and Kira to play the role of the good guy would simply be making things difficult for them.

But you want these two guys to play the bad guys?
Do Kidd and Kira still need to be played?

Purely true to herself!

After Storm explained the precautions to Kidd and Kira and reminded them not to forget to exercise, he hung up the Den Den Mushi.

"If Germa 66 can really heal Jade Scales as Vegapunk said..."

"Then I need to go to the East Sea and at least meet with the top leader of Germa 66..."

"After all, Kuma, Kidd, and Kira are all my subordinates. I can't just leave them alone..."

"If we go to the East China Sea..."

Storm buried some thoughts deep in his heart. He rode the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and flew towards the sky.

In the blink of an eye.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon broke through ten thousand meters and arrived at the White Sea.

Storm rode the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and circled around Sky Gaya Island for a while, and immediately found Robin's trace.

He controlled the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to descend and come to Robin's side.

Robin also noticed the captain's arrival and was about to say hello.

Bru——Bru——

Suddenly, a telephone rang.

"What's going on today? So many people calling?"

Storm waved at Robin, signaling her to be quiet for a while.

He took out the Den Den Mushi and as soon as the call was connected, an old voice came from the receiver.

The Five Elder Stars, Nasu Shouro Saint.

"Bai Long, I heard about what you did today."

What did you do today?

Storm raised his eyebrows.

Did Nasu Juro Sei also call because of the flying squirrel?
"Navy--" Storm wanted to explain a few more words.

Nasujuro Sei interrupted him domineeringly and praised him at the same time.

“You did a great job!”

"……Um?"

Because of certain remaining stereotypes.

For a moment, Storm couldn't tell whether Nasujuro Sei was truly praising him or being sarcastic.

"Navy justice? What a joke! It's just a violent agency under the government!"

Nasujuro-sei really meant it as a compliment.

"They really just need to maintain the government's rule and be good dogs of the Celestial Dragons."

Nasujuro Sei didn't think that Storm's words were a mockery of the Navy and the World Government at all.

He didn't even notice there was a problem.

Because in the world of the Five Elder Stars, this is how the order of the ocean works.

The Navy really just has to follow orders.

As for "being a good dog of the Celestial Dragons"...

This sentence is even more normal.

What are the Marines if not the dogs of the Celestial Dragons?
Even if ordinary people want to be dogs of the Celestial Dragons, there is no such way!

Nasujuro Sei didn't care about Storm's attitude.

anyway.

A marine who is so "radical" that he can directly slaughter the infinite hell.

A Marine who is so "radical" that he is willing to rebel against the naval system.

As long as he fights the pirates well, that's enough.

Are there other things that we need to care about?

The navy and the Seven Warlords of the Sea are nothing but running dogs of the government.

Nasujuro Sei praised Storm for the "beating of the Navy Vice Admiral" incident today.

Then he skipped the subject.

Whether in the World Government or in the Marine Headquarters.

Storm will not suffer any negative impact from this incident.

A world where only the flying squirrel is hurt has been created...

"Bai Long, have you read today's newspaper?"

Nasujuro Sei put away his smile and got down to business.

"The government has announced your invitation to become one of the Shichibukai.

"As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you can no longer act as radically as before."

"Acting radically?"

Storm's brows furrowed slightly.

"You mean we can't fight pirates anymore?"

"No, of course not."

Nasujuro-sei explained.

"I mean, you can't go causing trouble for the Shichibukai like you did before.

"As pirates recognized by the government, the Seven Warlords of the Sea each have their own rights and obligations.

"But one thing is for sure, you are all government officials and you cannot kill each other."

"Ha ha……"

Storm chuckled.

“I think I understand what you mean, Five Elders.

"Don't worry, I won't be as 'radical' as before."

"That's good. I believe you are a smart person, Bailong."

Nasujuro nodded with satisfaction.

"It was just a minor mistake before, it's just human nature after all."

"Yes."

Storm nodded in agreement.

"As long as it's not discovered, it's just a small mistake."

"You are indeed a smart man, Bai Long."

Nasujuro Sei chuckled.

“A problematic incident is only qualified to be called a ‘problem’ if it is discovered by everyone.

"Keep up your work, Hakuryuu."

Storm hung up the phone.

The meaning of the Five Elder Stars is very simple.

It is not impossible for the Seven Warlords of the Sea to kill each other.

But they cannot "openly" kill each other.

After all, each of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is a partner that the World Government has painstakingly found.

If the Seven Warlords of the Sea were defeated.

This news spread all over the world.

The reputation of the world government will also be seriously damaged.

That's when.

The World Government had no choice but to abandon the defeated Shichibukai.

however.

As long as the failure of the Shichibukai remains unknown, there will be no problem at all.

There are even some special cases where the World Government will take the initiative to help cover up the failure of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...

In a word.

Some things, if they are not weighed, they will not weigh more than 10 grams; but if they are weighed, they will not weigh more than 1,000 pounds.

Storm put away the Den Den Mushi, but saw Robin staring at him with a rather strange look.

"what happened?"

Robin thought of what the Five Elders had just said, and inexplicably thought of O'Hara, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Is it... a disaster only if the public finds out?"

"Of course!"

Storm nodded, and then he added.

"From the perspective of the world government, this is indeed the case."

"Oh……"

Robin's mood became much lower.

"The World Government, the Navy Headquarters... they all seem to be like this."

"if not?"

Storm said casually as he and Robin walked side by side.

"Otherwise, what do you think is the purpose of the navy?
"You don't really think the Navy was established to 'enforce justice' or 'protect civilians'?
"The Navy exists to give people confidence that civilians are protected."

Hearing this, Robin couldn't help but ask.

"Let 'people' believe...Who should we let believe? Pirates?"

"Pirate? How can you have such naive ideas?"

Storm gave Robin a strange look.

“Of course the pirates know that civilians are not protected by the navy!

"Otherwise, they wouldn't be pirates!
"When I say 'people', I mean the people of the member countries of the World Government. More precisely, I mean 'civilians of the member countries'.

“Civilians believe the Navy is protecting them, so they work hard and earn money.

"With the navy's 'protection', civilians will be willing to pay taxes, member states will have money to pay the heavenly gold, and the world government can function normally... I think I have said too much."

"Captain, I remember you seem to be from the navy, right?"

Robin asked, a little curious.

"So this view is why you left the Navy?
"The Five Elders also seem to have said that you are 'the biggest stain on the Navy'."

Robin remembered that these words were said by the Five Elders to Crocodile in person when they were in the small garden.

“That’s probably part of the reason!”

Storm shrugged his shoulders without explaining much.

"Navy? Not even a dog would do that!"
