Who made him the Pirate King?

"Riskiled Island?"

Storm casually made a clay stand and placed the Den Den Mushi on it.

"Five Elders, you seem to like this island?"

"Because Riskiled Island is 'close' enough!"

Nasu Juro's tone was very cold, as usual.

"In addition, because Kizaru has other things to deal with, he will not participate in this transaction."

"Who is responsible for trading with me?"

Storm raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"Other admirals of the Navy Headquarters?"

"This time, the CP department will be responsible for meeting with you."

Nasu Juro replied indifferently.

"Remember your 'bargaining chips', let Don Quixote Doflamingo 'shut up forever'!"

"Then what about your 'devil fruit'?"

Storm nodded slightly and asked back.

"Five devil fruits, I only got the Swamp Fruit and the Cube Fruit before, there should be at least one 'Mythical Beast', right?"

"You'll know when the time comes!"

After saying this, Nasujuro Sei directly hung up the Den Den Mushi.

"Beep-beep-"

Storm listened to the dead sounds coming from the Den Den Mushi receiver and couldn't help but frowned.

Why keep it a secret at this time?

And...

Storm recalled what Nasujuro Sei said before.

CP department?

CP has a total of ten departments, which department is responsible for connecting with him?

Ordinary CP department?

CP9 department hidden from the world's sight?

Or CP0, known as the "strongest shield of the Celestial Dragons"?

Even if Nasujuro Sei's words did not have any logical loopholes-the admirals are busy with affairs, and the CP department responsible for doing dirty and tiring work for the World Government will continue to carry out the admirals' tasks.

However, Storm, who was not afraid to speculate the worst about the World Government, still felt something was wrong.

Storm had this feeling the last time the Five Elders took the initiative to seek a deal with Doflamingo.

If he had to find a reason for this feeling...

Storm could only explain it with "intuition".

But no matter what.

It would be best if the Five Elders could obediently hand over the Devil Fruit.

If the Five Elders wanted to do something to Storm under the guise of "trading"...

Storm would also welcome it.

He never had too many high-level trophies.

Storm only hoped that if the Five Elders really wanted to do something big, the other party would better send a stronger force!

If it weren't for the fact that "the Five Elders came to earth in person" was too rare.

Storm didn't mind that Nasujuro Sei was personally responsible for this transaction.

On the other side.

Yixiao was still shocked that the Five Elders would personally call Bailong to contact him.

But when he heard the words of the Five Elders, he realized what it meant to be——

There is no most shocking, only more shocking.

After the Five Elders hung up the Den Den Mushi, Yixiao barely lifted up his chin that was about to fall to the ground.

"... Don Quixote Doflamingo's deal?"

Yixiao stared at his blind eyes and "looked" at Storm.

"What is that? Isn't Don Quixote Doflamingo dead?"

Storm put away the Den Den Mushi, glanced at the gambler next to him, and answered the question with a question.

"Who told you that Doflamingo is dead?"

Yixiao replied in a low voice: "That's what the World Economic News reported..."

"Who told you to believe the news report of the World Economic News?"

Storm said bluntly.

"The so-called professional ethics of journalists are exactly the same as the words "the last hand" said by the gambler.

"It's all bullshit! "

Yixiao felt that Storm was scolding him again, and he had heard the evidence.

But... he was originally a gambler (crossed out) - bah!

Yixiao was originally just a gambler.

Although he was very unhappy in his heart, he could not find any reason to refute.

Because the words "the last hand"...

Yixiao really said it.

Fat Tiger, who still had some reason, decided to change the subject.

"So Don Quixote Doflamingo is not dead?"

"No."

Seeing that Yixiao did not continue to respond and did not continue to pursue, Storm said casually.

"Don Quixote Doflamingo's identity is not simple.

"He is not an ordinary Shichibukai, his surname is "Don Quixote", which is the surname of the Celestial Dragons!

"In the eyes of the World Government, Don Quixote Doflamingo is very valuable. "

Yixiao suddenly recalled what Storm said before -

"It's better to rob the World Government than to rob others."

Yixiao felt complicated.

"So you made a deal with the World Government, using one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea as a bargaining chip?"

"Correct your statement."

Storm thought for a moment and spoke.

"It's not a 'deal', it's 'extortion' to be precise.

"I captured Don Quixote Doflamingo and then directly extorted five devil fruits from the World Government.

"They had already given two before - I just said this to the Five Elders, you heard it too, right?"

Yixiao nodded silently.

"So."

Storm crossed his legs and said with a frivolous expression.

“Being a pirate requires your brains!

“Plundering is also a technical job.

"Whoever has money will rob it!

"This is the correct way for pirates to 'make a fortune'."

Yixiao felt that there was a big problem with Storm's words.

But he couldn't find the source of the problem.

Yixiao pondered Storm's words in his mind several times.

He seemed to have thought of something, holding the [Underworld Fire Wire], and tapped the golden floor under his feet with the scabbard.

"If we use 'wealth' to measure it, the wealth owned by the Golden Emperor should be unparalleled in the sea, right?"

The pair of pale eyes that smiled looked at Storm and said in a deep voice.

"So that's why you came to Gran Tezzolo?"

"No, I came to Gulantezolo because I only took a fancy to the Golden Emperor Tezzoluo, not his money."

Storm shook his head and said seriously.

"Mr. Yixiao, don't think of 'wealth' narrowly as boring things like 'money' and 'Pele'.

“If you don’t have money, you can make it again.

"What is the most valuable asset on the sea? It is 'people'!"

Honestly.

Although Storm had previously told Tezolo about "re-cultivating a Golden Emperor".

But just listen to this.

Because even Storm was not sure that he could recreate a Golden Emperor.

Tezoro's wealth relies on the power of [Golden Fruit], but it does not only rely on [Golden Fruit].

If there is just one [Golden Fruit], a "Golden Emperor" can be created.

Then Donquixote Doflamingo won't put the [Golden Fruit] up for auction!

There are so many members of the Don Quixote family.

Wouldn't it be enough for Doflamingo to just pick anyone at random and train him to become the new "Golden Emperor"?

The fact is -

Not just anyone can become the "Golden Emperor" by eating the [Golden Fruit].

The same example can actually be placed on [Rubber Fruit].

The so-called [rubber fruit].

Namely [Animal type·Renren Fruit·Phantom Beast Species·Nika Form].

It’s true that just anyone who eats the [Nika Fruit] can “evolve” into the Sun God on the spot!

Ever since the failure of Joey Boy.

[Nika Fruit] has been wandering on the sea for eight hundred years.

But in these eight hundred years, no "rubber kid" has ever become the new "Joey Boy."

Want to be "Joey Boy".

[Nika Fruit], [Straw Hat], [D]... all kinds of conditions are indispensable.

And wants to become the "Golden Emperor".

[Golden Fruit] is very important.

But Tezzolo's own business and economic talents are equally important!

Yixiao thought about Storm's words a few more times, and once again discovered his blind spot.

"If you think 'people' are of higher value, then why not just cooperate with Donquixote Doflamingo?"

Yixiao asked seriously.

"You and Don Quixote Doflamingo are both members of the same organization as the Shichibukai, and you said before that the business territory of the Don Quixote family is very large."

"I directly captured Doflamingo. Apart from the fact that this guy has no eyesight and provoked me, the main reason is - there is another 'person' whose value is higher than this 'flamingo' ”

The “other person” Storm was talking about was, of course, Trafalgar Law.

"That person is now also a member of my command. I will introduce him to you when I have the opportunity in the future."

"Um……"

Yixiao nodded heavily.

Since he decided to join Bailong's command and repay the other party's "life-saving grace".

Then he had already made a mental plan to contact and meet the rest of Bailong's subordinates.

It would be better to say that Yixiao is still looking forward to meeting Bailong's other subordinates.

He didn't meet Bailong for long.

But I got a preliminary understanding of the other person's personality.

Frankly speaking.

Bailong is not the vicious pirate that Yixiao expected.

on the contrary.

This guy has his own set of principles, and he is not as cruel and ruthless as the rumors say.

certainly.

"Wantful", "lawless", "bullying"... these labels were also slapped on Bai Long with a smile.

In a smile's view.

Hakuryuu is an unconventional pirate.

I don't hate this kind of pirate in my heart.

He does have "moral mysophobia" - after all, he is a "tiger" who chooses to self-mutilate his eyes because the world is too dirty.

But the actual situation of the sea is like this.

It would be better to say that a domineering guy like Bai Long is more suitable for this sea of ​​jungle.

Thinking of this, Yixiao couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas, the sea without benevolence and righteousness..."

"Mother-in-law, I'm so long-winded."

Storm shook his head, disdainful of the melancholy shown by Yixiao.

"Now you feel that this sea is not good, and you are sighing here.

"It's better to use your own power and transform the sea into what you want.

"Even if you can't change the whole world, at least changing the environment around you is good."

Storm spoke a lot, and without waiting for Yixiao to respond, he gave the order directly.

"I will go to Rischiled Island later, you stay here! Recover from the injury."

Recover from the injury...

Yixiao came back to his senses and touched the bandage hidden in his clothes.

The power of Bailong's fist is still very strong...

"Don't you need me to act with you?"

Yixiao said here, and suddenly thought of something.

"You are not going to destroy Rischiled Island?"

"This kind of thing..."

Storm said without comment.

"It depends on the choice of the World Government."

Later.

After Storm waited for Tezoro to come back, he gave him a few words and asked him to take good care of Yixiao, the "blind man".

Tezoro reported another news to Storm-

Gulan Tezoro is about to sail to the World of Totland to attend the tea party of BIG MOM.

"The World of Totland Tea Party... I just want to go to the World of Totland."

Storm nodded slightly.

"But don't get too close to the Big Mom Pirates. My target is Charlotte Linlin!"

Storm's simple words inspired Tesoro's endless reverie.

Then, without waiting for Tesoro to say anything more.

Storm summoned a blue-eyed white dragon and flew out of Gran Tesoro.

Target - Rischiled Island!
