Who made him the Pirate King?

When the entire sea was shaking for Edward Teach's reward order.

The man behind the scenes, the instigator, the man behind Whitebeard II, "White Dragon" Storm——

Still working on the meal.

After learning that his reward amount was severely suppressed by a clay doll, Storm went completely crazy. He turned his grief and anger into appetite and ate all the food in sight.

By the time Storm finished eating, the restaurant owner had to rush him out of the kitchen.

"Sir, guest, you..."

The restaurant owner looked at the clean plates arranged like a hill next to Storm, and forced a smile on his tired face.

"Are you satisfied with your meal?"

“The taste is okay, but the portion is too small!”

While talking, Storm finished another plate of fried rice. He glanced at the restaurant owner and urged him urgently.

"Boss, serve the food quickly! Who can eat this little food!"

"Guest, you have eaten all the food in the shop..."

The restaurant owner twisted the apron in front of him with both hands and said in great embarrassment.

"Now the kitchen can't even find a grain of rice..."

"If you don't have anything to sell, why open a store?"

Storm finished the last plate of barbecue in front of him, stood up, and planned to pay for it.

"How much is the total? Are there any restaurants nearby?"

"Guests, all nearby merchants and small shops have just sent their employees to buy their food..."

The restaurant owner said in a low voice with cold sweat on his forehead.

"Well, you ate all the food on the street..."

"..."

Storm remained silent, paid, and left.

Then I plan to find another island to eat.

The blue-eyed white dragon flies in the sky.

Storm took out the map while digesting the food.

He had just determined the location of the island.

This is still the East China Sea. This small island belongs to the "Clover Island Area", and there are various islands of various sizes nearby.

The "Dawn Island" that Storm wanted to find before was not far away.

"Go directly to Dawn Island!"

Storm adjusted the direction of the Blue Eyes White Dragon and flew quickly towards Dawn Island.

To be fair.

On this sea, Dawn Island is not famous.

There is only one small World Government member country on the island - the Kingdom of Goa.

That's right!

It’s the Kingdom of Goa that gave birth to a family called “Monkey”!

Storm came to the East China Sea and wanted to "check in" at the Kingdom of Goa based on the idea of ​​​​"Come and come".

No matter what.

Dawn Island, where the Kingdom of Goa is located, also has a "Sun God" inside.

In addition, the "Shao Shao Man" who will stop the "Magma Man" for the "Sun God" in the future should also be on Dawn Island now...

Storm was quite interested in the two brothers.

Go check in first!

certainly.

If the mighty naval hero Monkey D. Garp was still in the Kingdom of Goa.

Storm will also try to make a "card".

Storm had told Flying Squirrel before that he wanted the Navy Headquarters to increase his bounty.

The result is now...

Bailong's bounty money didn't move at all.

Whitebeard II's bounty is sky-high.

The most outrageous thing is that Whitebeard II’s bounty is more than twenty times that of White Dragon!

In this case.

Storm decided to practice what he said before——

"Meet a Vice Admiral, fight a Vice Admiral"!

What a naval hero.

He's just an ordinary bad old lieutenant general.

Storm drove the blue-eyed white dragon and rushed towards the Kingdom of Goa according to the instructions of the navigation map and compass.

brubru——

At this moment, the phone bug rang.

Storm picked up the phone and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey, it's Marshal Sengoku! This is the first time I've received a phone call from Marshal Sengoku. Has the Navy finally received my letter?"

Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

Kizaru and Lieutenant General Tsuru, who were still in the office just now, have disappeared.

Under the plaque of "Absolute Justice", there is only Sengoku alone.

After hearing Storm's words, Warring States was slightly startled.

letter?

hiss……

If Warring States remembered correctly, Flying Squirrel seemed to have sent back a letter before.

It is said that it was Bailong's personal letter.

As a naval marshal, Warring States certainly knew what "White Dragon" was about.

A pure and good sailor son of a dignified old navy official with the Seagull Flag!

Members of the Blade Force!

Every time Sengoku thinks that members of the Blade Force can actually become King Shichibukai, he feels a sense of great absurdity...

Who asked Vongola Storm to be an undercover agent! ! !

Oh, it seems to be the note approved by the Warring States Period himself...

"Yes, letters, cough."

Sengoku coughed lightly, intending to say a few polite words and get acquainted with the "super sharp blade" that had become the King's Shichibukai.

"The headquarters has received the letter and I have read it...

"Strong, your request is really embarrassing..."

Sengoku used official clichés to stall for time while racking his brains to recall the contents of the letter at that time.

It seems like...

Storm wants a promotion?

"You read the letter, right? Then why is my bounty not moved! Why is it still not 100 million!"

Storm asked Marshal Sengoku on the other end of the phone.

"Now that Whitebeard II, his reward is two billion! Two billion!"

It turns out it's not a promotion, but a reward...

A hint of joy flashed in Zhan Guo's heart, and he spoke immediately.

"The system of the King's Shichibukai is like this. From the moment you become the King's Shichibukai, the amount of your bounty will stop increasing..."

Warring States vaguely remembered that Storm seemed to have mentioned the amount of the reward many times, but this kind of thing was really a bit complicated to handle, so he changed the topic.

"But Storm, in view of your recent good performance, the headquarters has decided to upgrade your military rank and treatment."

Storm was a member of the Navy.

Although he was once transferred to Impel Down and then... escaped from prison.

But the Navy still did not approve his resignation.

Look at it from this perspective.

Storm remains a member of the Blades.

His current military rank is "Warrant Officer of the Navy Headquarters."

After all, if you want to be promoted within the naval system, in addition to your own strength level, "military merit" is also a very important part.

Storm escaped from Impel Down before, and then he did one big thing after another...

The Navy hasn't had time to adapt to Storm's new identity.

Then……

Storm became the king of the Shichibukai.

How to say it?

Promotion!

Must be promoted!

"Promoting military rank?"

Storm raised his eyebrows, somewhat interested in what Seng Guo said.

"What level can it be raised to?"

Although Storm doesn't care much about his "Navy" status anymore - in fact, he never cared much about it.

But no matter what, three generations of his ancestors are "Navy people".

If you can become a senior naval general, it will be considered as an explanation to the ancestors of the family...

"You first defeated Crocodile the Sand Crocodile, and then killed Hanavda the Lizard King."

Sengoku's mind was running very fast, and he didn't mention Storm's mistakes at all, only his contributions.

"In view of these two points, this headquarters plans to promote you to the rank of major general!

"Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!"

The status of a school officer is too low for the "King Shichibukai".

Even "Commodore" is a bit low.

Then it can only be "Major General"!

Honestly.

If measured purely by strength, Sengoku felt that there would be no problem in making Storm the "lieutenant general of the headquarters" directly.

But when doing things in the navy, you can't just look at strength.

If the Warring States Period makes Storm the "lieutenant general of the headquarters" now, what will happen in the future?

If Storm does something big that benefits the Navy in the future...

Does the Navy still want to pull down one of the "red, yellow, and green" trio and promote Storm to the rank of admiral of the Navy Headquarters?

Once the Warring States Period is over, Storm will be made Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

Then there will be "no reward" in the future...

The rank of brigadier general is too low and the rank of lieutenant general is too high.

Then it can only be "Major General"!

"Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters?"

Hearing this, Storm said that he was quite satisfied with this military rank, but he now had another identity as "a member of the Blade Force".

"Marshal Warring States, besides General Aokiji, are there any other generals in the Blade Force?"

When Warring States heard this, he was slightly startled, "This... no."

If you want to join the Blade Force, you must meet all requirements.

Moreover, it is best to be a new marine soldier who is not famous, so that it will be easier to carry out follow-up activities.

In last year's boot camp, there were only two "Blade Force members" in the entire class, Storm and Peacock.

This year’s boot camp program isn’t over yet.

The Blade Force has not absorbed "new blood" either...

"I am now a rear admiral at the Navy Headquarters. Does this mean that I am the second in command of the Blade Force?"

Storm asked enthusiastically, discovering what he was more interested in.

"As a major general and the second-in-command of the Blade Force, can I form my own subordinates?

"I said, 'Marine Men'!"

Hiss~

Zeng Guo took a breath.

The Navy has its own rules and regulations.

Generally speaking.

Officers at the general level are eligible to be equipped with adjutants, guards, and even warships!

But Storm is a member of the Blade Force...

He is King Shichibukai, a great pirate known to the world!

"Storm, your current identity is, after all, the 'King Shichibukai'."

Warring States wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and decided to come up with a delaying strategy.

"We should wait until you return to the navy to form an army and so on."

"It doesn't matter, I don't need to recruit the navy to serve as my subordinates."

Storm said with a smile that he would not do things according to the rhythm of the Warring States Period.

"I will find people myself and find new people. The headquarters only needs to pay the military salary in time.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, you won't even agree to this little thing, right?"

Little things?

The corners of Sengoku's mouth twitched.

If it were a normal rear admiral, this would certainly be a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

But Storm is the King's Shichibukai!

A king under the Shichibukai, commanding a naval force...

No matter how you look at this situation during the Warring States period, it’s wrong!

Is this right?

But facing Storm's words, Zhan Guo couldn't say no.

Because according to the rules, Storm is still a member of the Navy's Blade Force.

And he is also the "Marine Admiral of the Navy Headquarters" promised by Zhan Guo himself!

Recruiting new people and forming a team are the basic rights of officers!

"Storm..."

Zhan Guo was silent for a while, and finally took a step back.

"Don't forget what is behind the navy."

"Don't worry, it's the navy of 'justice'~"

Storm replied in a brisk tone.

"I will never let my subordinates bring shame to 'justice'!"
