Who made him the Pirate King?

"Yixiao's eight-star trophy..."

Storm glanced at the [Glory Moon Trophy] that jumped out in front of him, and then put it away directly.

Now is not the time to deal with this big senior trophy.

That "fat tiger" is still swimming in the sea of ​​the New World!

Yixiao is not Kaido.

This "fat tiger" will really turn into a "dead tiger" if it soaks in the sea for too long!

Storm still has certain thoughts about "recruiting Yixiao".

He didn't want to just give up on the future Admiral "Fujitora" of the Navy Headquarters.

Storm looked down at the sea below, and he stretched out his right hand to release the ability of the [Clay Ring].

The next moment.

A slender and light blue-eyed white dragon jumped out of the void. It vibrated its white wings and dived towards the sea below.

Under the direction and guidance of Storm's [Seeing Color Haki].

The blue-eyed white dragon, as fast as an arrow from the string, plunged into the sea with a fierce force, and quickly traveled through the water like a flexible white fish.

Less than a moment.

The blue-eyed white dragon found a smile in the depths of the sea that had been soaked unconscious by the sea water.

The blue-eyed white dragon swung its slender tail like a rope, directly wrapped around Yixiao's body, and then led the latter toward the sea.

Under the control of Storm.

The blue-eyed white dragon flew out of the sea and flew back to the sky with a smile.

When the blue-eyed white dragon was about to fly to Storm's side, it swung its tail violently, and directly threw the smile on its tail towards the top of the golden ladder to the sky that the Golden Emperor Tezoro had just created. on the steps.

Snap!

Yixiao's body fell heavily on the top step of the golden ladder to the sky, making a crisp impact sound.

Because of his relatively round figure (crossed out)—because of his elasticity, Yixiao's body even jumped twice on the golden stairs, like a fat fish thrown ashore.

But it was precisely because of such a sudden impact.

The man who was unconscious just now smiled, opened his eyes in time, and barely regained consciousness.

Have to admit.

There is almost no "crispy skin" in the top warriors of the sea.

Even if they have "crispy skin", their vigilance is first-rate and powerful.

“Ahem—poof!”

As soon as Yixiao woke up, he couldn't help but cough violently and spit out a few mouthfuls of murky sea water mixed with blood.

Then, he subconsciously opened his [Visibility Color Haki] and tried to sense the surrounding situation.

But what surprised Yixiao was that he was still in the high altitude of Gurantezolo and had not gone to other places.

Next to Yixiao was the still unconscious Golden Emperor Gilder Tezzolo.

And in the sky in front of him, was the Shichibukai under the king who had just easily defeated him - White Dragon!

Yixiao's head is still clear.

In a short period of time, he cleared his thoughts——

He had just been shot down into the sea by the White Dragon, and then was saved by the White Dragon!

This is really... shameful!

Yixiao wiped his mouth carelessly, barely wiping away the blood and water stains on the corners of his mouth.

Ignoring his wet and embarrassed appearance, he raised his head and "looked" at Bai Long.

Bailong, who had just disappeared in the induction of [Seeing Color Haki], suddenly appeared there again, as if the other party had never moved.

"Why……"

Yixiao tried his best to widen his pale and blind pupils, and used his [Seeing Color Haki] to "look" at Storm.

"Why would you, as an enemy, save me?"

Isn't it the "right" thing to kill your opponent directly when you are clearly an enemy?

Yixiao's mood was very complicated.

"The fundamental reason why I will save you is - I don't hate you."

Storm stared at him, smiled, and said calmly.

"Besides, I don't have a special hobby of killing 'civilians'."

Although Yixiao is powerful.

But his reputation is not well known now, and he has not yet determined his camp.

He is neither a pirate nor a villain.

Then it can only be attributed to "civilians"!

Or "Ronin"? "Xia Ke"? Or - "gambler"?

But no matter what.

Yixiao's philosophy and stance still belong to the "lawful good" school.

Storm really doesn't dislike this guy.

But after hearing Storm's words, a few veins popped up on Yixiao's forehead.

"No civilians were killed..."

Yixiao suddenly tightened his grip on the supremely sharp knife [Underworld FireWire] in his hand.

"Banaro Island, Gaya Island, Beehive Island...are there still many islands that have been destroyed by you?

“Aren’t the people living on these islands civilians?”

"Of course not."

Storm smiled rather strangely.

“Since you know the names of these islands, you should know who the people who rule these islands are, right?

"Hanafda of Banaro Island, Wang Zhi of Beehive Island...the only exception is Gaya Island, that island has no ruler.

"But, don't you know? These three islands are actually all genuine 'Pirate Islands'!

"All the people living on these islands are pirates!"

Take Beehive Island for example.

Starting from the era of Rocks, to the era ruled by Wang Zhi, and even to the years ruled by Blackbeard in the future.

Beehive Island has always been a "pirate island".

Everyone on Beehive Island is evil!

This is the essence of this "pirate island".

The situation in Gaya and Banaro Islands is the same as in Beehive Island.

These three islands are all "pirate islands", truly "lawless zones".

Storm rarely sympathizes with pirates.

Unless there are special circumstances like Big Bear and Robin.

"Pirate Island..."

When Yixiao heard this, he was suddenly startled, and the angry expression on his face froze.

The reporting style of Shijingbao can only be described as “everyone understands it”.

In order to increase the shock value, World Economic News often does some "text processing" when disseminating news.

Morgans, the big news bird and president of the World Economic News, usually calls himself a "Word DJ".

The World Economic News has indeed reported on the "White Dragon" related deeds.

But they just reported "White Dragon destroys the island".

The World Economic News would never say "White Dragon Destroyed Pirate Island".

Pirates fight against each other.

Where are the pirates who massacre ordinary civilians and destroy innocent islands so eye-catchingly?

Even with a smile, he didn't know the true situation of the islands destroyed by Bailong.

At the end of the day.

The sea is still too vast.

The right to know is always only in the hands of a few people.

Storm could observe that Yixiao's violent aura just now was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He raised his eyebrows and immediately realized something.

"Uncle, you don't think I'm the kind of 'traditional pirate' who likes to kill innocent people and do evil, do you?"

"Ahem..."

Yixiao stretched out his right hand, put it to his lips, and coughed twice.

"Feel sorry……"

Yixiao really thought so before.

It’s not like the King’s Shichibukai is a good system.

A king named Shichibukai who destroys islands at every turn is not a good person...

At least that's what Yixiao thought before.

"hehe……"

Storm sneered twice and suddenly mentioned another thing.

"You seemed to have said just now that I was the one who 'saved you', right?"

Yixiao replied dryly: "Yes..."

"Using such stupid and extremely inferior ideas to speculate on your own savior."

Regardless of the order of things, Storm took the moral high ground and accused Yixiao.

"Is this your 'benevolence'? Uncle."

There was a smile and silence for a long time.

He bowed down like a jade pillar pushing down a mountain of gold, bowed to the ground, and apologized in an extremely humble manner.

“I’m so sorry!!”

"Ah this——"

Storm was stunned for a moment.

He really didn't expect that Yixiao would kneel down and apologize directly at this time.

Is this Yixiao’s special hobby?

Storm quickly controlled the blue-eyed white dragon and flew to the side, avoiding the direction of Yixiao's kneeling.

"No kneeling!"

Storm complained to Isami, who was still maintaining his posture.

"Are you really from the country of Wano? You actually like to kneel down so much!"

"My hometown is indeed the country of Wano."

He raised his upper body with a smile, but still kept his kneeling posture, put his hands on his thighs, and answered seriously.

"It's a pity that the general is incompetent and the people are living in dire straits..."

"Stop it, stop it! I'm not interested in the situation in Wano Country."

Storm stretched out his right hand and interrupted Yixiao's words.

He then rubbed his brows.

Although Storm had previously speculated that Yixiao was from the country of Wan.

No matter it's the way the other person dresses, the way he talks, or the supremely sharp knife [Underworld FireWire].

All have a strong Wano style.

But after Yixiao confirmed his identity as a native of Wano.

Storm felt a little awkward for no reason.

This feeling is like wanting to buy a specialty product from the Land of Flowers, but then you see that the product’s origin is Wano.

"What a terrible country!"

"well……"

Hearing this, Yi smiled and let out a long sigh.

Is Wano's reputation already so "stinky"?

Storm looked at Yixiao, and then glanced at the supreme sharp knife in the other person's hand.

He deliberately wanted to ask Yixiao if he was from the "Fengyue Clan" of Wano Country.

After all, [Yakuza Fire Wire] is the supremely sharp sword created by Fugetsu Clan's swordsmith, Fugetsu Kisaburo.

But this question slipped to his lips, and Storm gave it up.

He asked another question instead.

"Uncle, you should admit that I saved your life, right?"

Yixiao was a little confused by Bailong's words, but still answered seriously.

"yes."

"Besides, you should also know that I deliberately spared your life during the battle, right?"

Yixiao felt extremely ashamed of this issue.

But he had to admit the authenticity of Bailong's words.

The other party didn't know what method he used to block his [Visual Color Haki] perception ability.

Yixiao has lost the perception of [Seeing and Hearing Color Dominance], just like a tiger that has lost its fangs and claws.

When dealing with low-level opponents, Yixiao can ignore the opponent's special abilities.

But when dealing with an opponent of the same level, without the perception assistance of [Seeing Color Haki], the smile is purely a gift to the opponent...

Bailong said to spare his life...

It's really not a lie.

Yixiao suppressed his shame and nodded heavily.

"Yes."

"So, you owe me two lives?"

Storm asked frivolously.

"Uncle, how are you going to repay me for the two lives you owe me?"

Repaying a favor?

A layer of sweat oozed out of Yixiao's forehead. He gritted his teeth and said something literary.

"Repaying a favor is not something a gentleman does!"

"Uncle, has your brain been soaked in sea water?"

Storm sneered and looked at Yixiao in front of him.

"I'm a pirate, not a 'gentleman'!

"You are a 'gentleman', so tell me, how are you going to repay the two life-saving favors?"

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

Storm saw that the other party was slow to speak, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Okay, okay, I won't embarrass you. After all, I'm not a demon. "

Storm smiled kindly and said cheerfully.

"Come to my side, serve me, and become a pirate.

"It's easy, isn't it?"
