Who made him the Pirate King?

Guild of the Cross.

Storm had never expected that the "Cross Guild" would be born even though it had been several years in advance.

Although the future "Cross Guild" will have strong troops and a large number of people, it will be recognized by Dahai as the new pirate emperor.

But when I think about the inside story of the formation and leaders of the "Cross Guild" in the future...

Storm felt that the name "Cross Guild" was very ominous for some reason.

But the more he objected.

Hawkeye and Sand Crocodile agree more.

The name of the Cross Guild was officially established.

Even though this organization currently only has three members, there is basically no binding force within the organization.

But the three names White Dragon, Eagle Eye, and Sand Crocodile put together are enough to illustrate the gold content of the "Cross Guild".

"White Dragon!"

Crocodile stared at Storm and said angrily.

"Hurry up and get rid of your damn powers!"

For the sake of everyone working together, Storm still disables his [Clay Fruit] ability.

Crocodile instantly got rid of the terrifying image of the "desert banana crocodile" and returned to the evil party leader with a slicked back hair and a thick cigar.

The Guild of the Cross had just been established.

There are basically no rules, regulations, or organizational goals to speak of.

Regardless of whether it is Strom, Mihawk, or Crocodile as the initiator, they currently only regard the "Cross Guild" as an organizational platform to communicate with other King Shichibukai.

For now.

The greatest significance of the Cross Guild should be to "distinguish between ourselves and the enemy."

This is roughly consistent with the name of the "Cross Guild"...

As for the future.

Whether the Cross Guild can develop and become bigger and stronger?

It all depends on the sea situation in the future...

Storm temporarily put aside the topic of the Cross Guild and looked at Buckingham Stussy, who was still unconscious.

"Lao Sha, neither I nor Mihawk need this old woman."

Storm unleashed a clay tentacle, grabbed Buckingham Stussy, and threw her in front of Crocodile.

"You have to figure it out yourself!"

"Buckingham Stussy..."

Crocodile glanced at the old woman at his feet.

He was about to take the other person's life directly, but he remembered the "Whitebeard III" just now.

Crocodile frowned and simply crushed Buckingham Stussy's right leg with one foot.

Click——

Accompanied by a crisp sound of bone cracking.

Buckingham Stussy woke up directly from the coma, holding her broken leg and wailing continuously.

"Ah! It hurts so much!! My leg!!!"

"It's so noisy..."

Crocodile raised his hand and released a wisp of yellow sand, controlling the yellow sand to wrap around Buckingham Stussy's neck like a whip.

"I ask, you answer, say one more word, and you can go to hell to accompany Rocks!"

Buckingham Stussy felt the rough abrasive sensation transmitted from the skin of his neck to his brain. He forced himself to hold back the severe pain, shut up and nodded.

Of course she knew who "Rocks" was.

The captain of the Rocks Pirates back then, Rocks D. Jiback, was a guy who had been dead for decades...

Buckingham Stussy still had plenty of money to spend.

She didn't want to die early.

The most painful thing in a person's life is that the person died and the money was not spent.

Buckingham Stussy wanted to live.

Crocodile glanced at Storm and Mihawk beside him.

Although he doesn't want to expose his past to outsiders.

But I can't care about other little things at the moment.

"then……"

Crocodile gritted his teeth and asked sharply.

"Why did the Rocks Pirates go to the Valley of Gods!"

Valley of the Gods?

Storm's brows raised.

Is it really related to that island...

"The Rocks Pirates, such a nostalgic name - I say! I say! Don't strangle me by the neck!"

Buckingham Stussy sighed. She originally wanted to rely on her old age for a while, but the sand rope around her neck was so strong that it almost broke her neck bones on the spot.

"Ahem! Rocks decided to go to the Valley of the Gods because we received a signal from the Valley of the Gods!

"We heard that a large number of Celestial Dragons gathered in the Valley of Gods in the West Sea, so we decided to go there!"

"Dragon people?"

Crocodile's eyes narrowed.

"Why do the Rocks Pirates care so much about the Celestial Dragons?"

"Because it was the Celestial Dragons who stole our treasure first!"

This time, Buckingham Stussy answered directly without any hesitation.

“I don’t know what that thing is for, but Rocks takes it very seriously!

"The Draco stole it from Hive Island, and Rocks plans to snatch it back from the World Government!

“That’s why we targeted the Celestial Dragons!

"I remember that Rocks' original idea was to capture enough Celestial Dragons and then use them to trade with the World Government to get the treasure back from the World Government!"

Crocodile asked: "What is that thing?"

"A stone! A stone! A red stone!"

Buckingham Stussy replied quickly.

"I don't know what the stone is used for, and no one else knows the use of that stone except Rocks.

“After the Valley of the Gods incident, that stone was taken away by Lingling—Charlotte Lingling!

"I only know this! I don't know anything else!"

Stone?

Red stone?

Crocodile instantly realized what Buckingham Stussy was referring to.

In the past few years, Crocodile has also been pursuing ancient history in order to find the illusory ancient weapon [Pluto Pluto].

In the process of exploring ancient history and searching for ancient weapons, there is one thing that cannot be ignored no matter what.

Text of ancient history!

However, Crocodile is not a real archaeologist after all.

He has limited knowledge of ancient history and is unable to decipher ancient texts.

Crocodile only knows one thing——

All ancient history is recorded on a very special kind of stone that cannot be destroyed!

but.

According to Nicole Robin, historical texts recording ancient texts are basically black.

Red stone...what is it again?

Red historical text?

"What else do you know about that red stone?"

Crocodile once again tightened his grip on Buckingham Stussy's neck and threatened forcefully.

"Say! You are a member of the Rocks Pirates, at least you will know something!"

The shadow of death loomed over Buckingham Stusy.

She quickly searched through the yellowed memories of the past, and finally managed to find some useful information.

"Red stone! Four pieces!"

exclaimed Buckingham Stussy.

"Rocks once said that as long as you find four red stones, you can become the king of the world!"

Four pieces of red historical text?

Crocodile recorded this key information.

At the same time, he did not forget what Buckingham Stussy just said - the piece of red historical text that once belonged to the Rocks Pirates was first taken away by the Celestial Dragons, and then by Big Mom Charlotte Lingling.

Is that piece of red historical text still in the hands of Charlotte Lingling?

Crocodile did not think deeply about this issue for the time being.

"Last question."

Crocodile skipped the topic related to the Valley of the Gods and turned to another person.

"That Whitebeard III, Edward Weeble, what's going on with him?"

The moment this question was asked, Storm, who was also quite interested in this question, quietly activated his [Information and Information Dominance], which can "read people's hearts", and directly peered into Buckingham Stussy's heart. Real thoughts.

On the surface, Buckingham Stussy stands by her previous statements.

"Weibull is my son! He is the love child of me and Whitebeard!"

But in fact, Storm already got the real answer he wanted from Buckingham Stussy's heart.

This is similar to what Storm had speculated before.

Buckingham Stusy did have a love affair with Edward Newgate.

but. .

Edward Weeble was not Buckingham Stussy's natural child!

In the year 1486 of the Emirate Calendar, the Valley of the Gods incident broke out, the Rocks Pirates became history, and the members of the Pirates were torn apart.

White Beard, Golden Lion, Big Mom, Beasts, John, Wang Zhi... these people all have their own destinations.

Buckingham Stussy also had her own personal story.

After the Rocks Pirates disbanded, Buckingham Stusy immediately joined the MADS organization.

In the MADS organization, Buckingham Stussy's "clone" was born.

It was a "clone" that completely replicated Buckingham Stussy's physical charm and even Devil Fruit abilities - Stusy!

That is one of the current kings of the dark world, the Queen of Happy Street Stussy.

After witnessing the birth of Stussy.

Buckingham Stussy's ambition to become a pirate suddenly ignited.

If her genes could be cloned, a "clone" comparable to her would be created.

So can the genes of other pirates be cloned to produce identical clones?

As it happened, Buckingham Stussy knew a very powerful man.

Whitebeard Edward Newgate!

It is different from the [Bat Fruit] owned by Buckingham Stussy.

The power of Whitebeard's [Shocking Fruit] is enough to destroy the world!

If she could create a clone of Whitebeard, could she also use it to dominate the sea?

At least you can become the overlord of one party!

Buckingham Stusy did not inform the rest of the MADS organization of her ambitions, but studied it alone in silence.

Due to his substandard technical skills, Buckingham Stussy was unable to copy Whitebeard's [Shock Fruit] ability, but at least he was able to copy an inferior version of Whitebeard.

That is Edward Weibull!

The so-called "Whitebeard III" Edward Weeble.

In fact, it's just an inferior clone of the real Whitebeard.

Through his [Information and Information Haki], Storm has seen through the fog of history and obtained the truth of the matter.

But Crocodile couldn't see through Buckingham Stussy's true heart.

He just felt that Buckingham Stussy was lying again...

Crocodile didn't hesitate any longer.

He released the ability of the Sand-Sand Fruit, and the yellow sand rope around Buckingham Stussy's neck instantly exerted force, tightly locking the latter's neck, while absorbing the moisture in his body.

It took only a breath of time.

The moisture in Buckingham Stussy's body was absorbed by the sand, and the whole person turned into a mummy.

The remnants of the old times, dead.
