Who made him the Pirate King?

"Hundred Beasts Kaido's eight-star trophy!"

Storm stared at the [Glory Moon Trophy] that jumped out of the void, and his expression could not hide his excitement.

This time, his battle with Kaido of the Beasts was different from previous battles with other top powerhouses in the sea.

Until today.

Storm has also won many eight-star [Glory Moon Trophies].

[Kizaru Porusalino], [Hawkeye Mihawk], [Pluto Rayleigh], [Red-haired Shanks], [Big Buddha Warring States]...

But the meaning of this [Hundred Beasts Kaido] is still very different.

As everyone knows.

In the battle between the top warriors in the sea, it is still difficult to distinguish a clear winner.

Especially in a "one-on-one" situation.

The only person known to be able to clearly defeat a strong person of the same level in a "one-on-one" situation, in Storm's impression, was the future Admiral of the Navy Headquarters - Akainu Sakaski.

As for the others...

Take as an example a certain "Navy hero" who wishes to remain anonymous.

The achievements of naval heroes seem to be extremely gorgeous, and they are recognized by the world as naval legends.

But this person's "record" cannot be scrutinized at all.

In the Valley of the Gods incident, the "Navy Hero" and Pirate King Roger teamed up to defeat the Rocks Pirates;

During the attack on the Navy Headquarters, the "Naval Hero" and the then-admiral Sengoku teamed up to defeat the Golden Lion Shiki;

In the Devil's Descendants Slaying Demon Order incident, the "Naval Hero" teamed up with the Warring States Period to take down Douglas Barrett...

(This does not include the rumor that the "Naval Hero" and the former Navy Marshal Sora teamed up to take down the Solitary Red...)

In a strict sense.

The "Naval Hero" truly defeated the "strongest enemy" in a one-on-one battle.

It turned out to be the leader of the Babao Navy, the Green Pepper of the Cone, who was born in the Flower Country of the Western Sea and had a bounty of 500 million beli.

Even in order to defeat the "big pirate" who has a bounty of 500 million beli, the Green Pepper of the Cone.

The "Naval Hero" also practiced for a long time and claimed to have beaten eight mountains.

What is this concept?

Compare it horizontally.

Just like Roger was trying to hack Usopp to death, just like Whitebeard was trying to beat up Portcas D. Ace, they each worked hard for a long time to practice...

Is this reasonable?

Is this possible?

It's no wonder that this "Navy Hero" will be directly planted on the Beehive Island where the Blackbeard Pirates' large forces are stationed in the future...

Back to business.

In the past, Storm had to rely on the power of [Momo's Ring] to defeat Hawkeye Mihawk and Hades Rayleigh.

The so-called power and numerical value are used to describe the existence of [Momo Fruit]!

But this time.

Storm only relied on his own [Physique], [Haki] and [Clay Fruit] to defeat Kaido, the veteran New World Pirate Emperor, in a head-on battle!

I have to say.

This is still a bit of a sense of accomplishment!

Storm took a deep breath, temporarily put away the eight-star trophy of [Hundred Beasts Kaido], and then continued to look at the sea below.

Kaido of the Hundred Beasts fell into the sea and hit the bottom of the sea directly. The waves surged endlessly, but they always stopped.

When Storm turned his attention to the sea below, the waves surging on the sea had become significantly smaller.

"Hyundai Kaido...do you want to do sit-ups?"

Storm did not doubt Kaido's recovery ability.

As a user with the ability of [Blue Dragon Fruit].

Kaido's physical fitness and recovery ability are definitely the best in the sea!

Sit-ups, no problem.

Storm just wasn't sure whether Hyakju Kaido wanted to do sit-ups or not.

Two clusters of scarlet light bloomed in his eyes, and [Seeing Color Haki] quietly turned on, and once again explored the sea below, trying to check the situation of Kaido of the Hundred Beasts.

This time.

Storm still sensed Kaido's aura.

But what is different from the last time is that Kaido of the Hundred Beasts is lying quietly on the bottom of the sea, without any thought of getting up.

Kaido, the beast, stopped thinking...

"It seems there is no second round of fighting!"

Storm put away his [Visual Color Haki].

Since Kaido of the Hundred Beasts does not intend to continue fighting.

Then Storm doesn't want to continue to entangle with the other party.

[Hundred Beasts Kaido] This eight-star trophy has been obtained.

Storm has no way to hunt the [Glowing Moon Trophy] from Kaido of the Beasts for the time being.

It’s better to keep this blue dragon and let him continue to harm the country of Wano...

【Clay from heaven】!

Storm looked at the Blue-Eyed White Dragon behind him, and then used his space movement ability to shuttle directly back to the Blue-Eyed White Dragon.

The blue-eyed white dragon flapped its wings and flew towards the depths of the new world at normal speed.

The sea area here gradually returned to calm.

…

Inside the blue-eyed white dragon's leading cab.

Storm took a short break.

It’s been a crazy two days of fighting.

Storm itself also consumed a lot.

Mainly because he needs to constantly hone his [Overlord Color Haki].

And the actual level of [Overlord Color Dominance] is as high as nine stars.

This consumes a lot of Strom's physical strength.

certainly.

Storm's "stamina gauge" is quite long.

If you continue to fight.

Storm can survive for another week at most.

【Big Trophy】!

After Storm rested for a while, he directly called out the [Glowing Moon Trophy] he had just defeated Kaido of the Beasts.

Another brand new eight-star trophy was obtained.

Storm then called out his own ability bar.

The eight-star [Huiyue Trophy].

Storm is currently not planning to invest such a high-level [Grand Trophy] into Devil Fruit abilities.

The eight-star trophy can be used in only two directions.

【physique】?

【Domineering】?

Storm first looked at his "endurance" attribute which was as high as "eight and a half stars".

Then he looked at the [Armed Haki] and [Informed Haki] which were still at eight stars.

The attributes of [Strength] and [Speed], both eight-star, were temporarily excluded by Storm.

The existence of [Momo Fruit] allows Storm to multiply his power and speed at will.

Even leaving aside the [Momo Fruit].

[Clay Ring], [Red Dragon Ring], [Thunder Ring]...

All of these [Devil Rings] can indirectly enhance Storm's [Strength] and [Speed] attributes.

He doesn't need to improve these two attributes yet.

The focus is still [endurance]!

Storm thought for a moment.

The eight-star [Armed Color Haki] is completely sufficient.

What's more, there is also a nine-star [Overlord Color Dominance] base.

Storm's current "attack power" is actually a bit "overflowing".

As for [Seeing and hearing color domineering].

Storm is somewhat covetous of the ability to "predict the future".

But "reading people's hearts" is also very useful.

Storm thought for a moment and decided to invest this eight-star trophy of [Hundred Beasts Kaido] into his own [Endurance] attribute.

Just do it!

Storm was about to add more, but when he thought of the intense hunger that would come with the increase in the [Physique] attribute, he quickly checked the food reserves in the Blue Eyes White Dragon.

"It's okay to stuff this little food between your teeth, but it's definitely not enough!"

Storm frowned and temporarily stopped adding points to the [Endurance] attribute.

He returned to the cockpit of Longtou, took out a navigation map of the New World, picked up a few navigation pointers and looked at it, and found an island nearby.

"Dressrosa is right in front? You can go there and have a meal!"

Storm spotted the target island at a glance.

He controlled the blue-eyed white dragon and hurried away.

On the way to Dressrosa.

Storm thought again of the tenth [Devil Ring] he had "newly" obtained a few days ago——

【Swamp Ring】.

Storm returned to the dragon belly cabin again.

The eater of [Natural Type·Swamp Fruit] can open up an infinite space inside the body.

Storm also had this special "storage space" with the help of the [Swamp Ring].

In the dragon belly cabin.

The first thing Storm dealt with were the two special "prisoners."

Hades Silbaz Rayleigh.

Tenyasha Donquixote Doflamingo.

Because "putting two male pirates into one's body" sounds too weird, and the execution is unacceptable.

When Storm entered the dragon's belly cabin, he used his [Clay Fruit] ability in time to make a big black dog out of it.

Immediately afterwards, he handed the [Swamp Ring] to the big black dog.

"From now on, your name is 'Izzy'!"

Storm rubbed Izzy's dog head vigorously a few times.

A clay figure that looks like a dog, barks like a dog, behaves like a dog, and doesn't know how to urinate anywhere...

Simply awesome!

Ichi stretched out his four legs, sprinted to Pluto Rayleigh and Tenyasha Doflamingo, opened his mouth, and directly swallowed the two prisoners into his stomach.

Iqi is connected to the swamp space with unlimited capacity, and is undoubtedly an excellent "big prison".

Storm arranged for Izzy to continue storing additional items.

For example, devil fruit, devil fruit, devil fruit...

Storm had been collecting Devil Fruits before.

But he didn't pay careful attention to how many "reserved collection" devil fruits he currently had in his hand.

Today I asked Iqi to take stock carefully.

Only then did Storm realize that even if ten [Devil Rings] were eliminated.

He has now become an out-and-out "Devil Fruit Collector"!

The [Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit] and [Chameleon Fruit] brought from Impel Down City...

The [Tyrannosaurus Rex Fruit], [Blunt-tailed Gila Monster Fruit], [Komodo Dragon Fruit], [Marine Iguana Fruit] hunted from the Lizard King Hanavda...

The [Slippery Fruit], [Silence Fruit], [Jiujiu Fruit], [Cube Fruit] obtained through transactions with the World Government and Xia Qi...

From the members of the Don Quixote family, they hunted [Stone Fruit], [Flying Fruit], [Water Fruit], [Ton Ton Fruit], [Turn Fruit], [Snow Fruit]... …

The [Teleport Fruit] hunted on Beehive Island...

You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.

The number of Devil Fruits that Storm has collected now is almost twenty!

It's so terrifying!

Storm let Ichi swallow the dozen devil fruits and put them into the swamp space just in case.

The "treasures" were counted.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon also flew to Dressrosa.

Storm's arrival - to be more precise, the arrival of the "White Dragon" caused a warm response from all levels of Dressrosa.

Every Dressrosa citizen who had experienced the terror of the Don Quixote family.

No one disliked the White Dragon.

For the White Dragon who defeated the Don Quixote family and saved Dressrosa from fire and water.

The people of Dressrosa admired him very much and revered him as a god.

After observing the arrival of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

The Riku royal family of Dressrosa - after the demise of the Don Quixote family, the Riku royal family once again became the ruler of Dressrosa - hurried over and welcomed Storm into the Dressrosa palace.

A banquet was held in the palace.

In front of the mountain of food, Storm quietly added some.

[Endurance: ★★★★★★★★★] (9-star)
