Who made him the Pirate King?

[Stars Trophy: Kizaru Borsalino]

[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★★★★]

A luxurious trophy surrounded by stars jumped out of the void.

‘Kizaru’s trophy is only seven stars? Oh… yes, I’ve beaten this monkey…’

Storm noticed the [Stars Trophy] jumping out of the void from the corner of his eye, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.

The enemy can also get the trophy if he admits defeat and surrenders.

Storm knew this a long time ago.

But what caught him a little bit was that Kizaru’s surrender speed was too fast!

Could it be that this guy habitually raised his hands to surrender?

Speaking of which, Kizaru has a lot of experience in “raising his hands to surrender”…

“Kizaru!”

Storm restrained his distracting thoughts, and did not release the “Clay Nika Form”, still shouting at Kizaru with a hostile attitude.

“Can we still surrender to the Demon Slayer Order issued by the World Government and the Navy Headquarters?”

The Demon Slayer Order can succeed or fail.

But even if they failed, most of them just failed to achieve the set "demon slaying goal".

Where would there be a precedent for the admiral who presided over the demon slaying order to passively resist and raise his hands to surrender?

"It's not 'surrender', but 'admit defeat'~"

Kizaru kept his hands raised high and seriously corrected Storm's "slip of the tongue".

"Surrender" and "admit defeat" cannot be confused.

The former is much more serious than the latter!

If Kizaru "surrenders" to Storm, it means that he completely gives up resistance and surrenders to Storm.

Even if Storm's identity as "the second in command of the Blade Force" and "the vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters" is put aside.

How can the admiral surrender to the (former) Shichibukai?

But "admit defeat" is different.

Kizaru "admitted defeat" to Storm just because he felt that "he couldn't beat him"...

If he continued to fight, there would be no practical effect except for a beating - just like Sakaski.

Of course.

If Kizaru continued to fight, he felt that he would not necessarily lose to Storm.

He could not win the fight...

Kizaru was terrified by Storm's punch to Akainu just now.

But the speed of escape (crossed out)——

But in terms of strategic retreat, Kizaru thought he was no less than anyone else!

If you can't win, you can escape.

Then just "admit defeat".

"Admit defeat" also means that Kizaru judged that the "Rischiled Island Demon Slaughter Order Incident" had failed.

Storm was awesome~

Kizaru then recounted the words of "the Demon Slaughter Order failed", which showed his current will and position.

"A great admiral of the navy actually surrendered without a fight."

Storm stared at Kizaru fiercely, considering whether to seriously injure this guy.

The two admirals of the navy launched the Demon Slaughter Order against him without any warning, and did not inform him of any news in advance...

This is simply too much!

"The World Government is losing face because of the Navy!"

"Sorry... huh?"

Kizaru put down his hands and was about to bow his head to apologize, but he suddenly realized.

"Hey, 'Vice Admiral Haku', what do you mean by that?"

Kizaru's [Observation Haki] had already sensed everything inside and outside of Rischiled Island.

He knew the situation on Rischiled Island very well.

So at this moment, Kizaru also shouted out Storm's true identity without any care - Vice Admiral Haku!

In fact.

As early as when Kizaru came out of Bruno's [Door Door Fruit] space, he had already noticed that on Rischiled Island, except for him, Sakaski and Storm, there was no other "awake person".

Not to mention people.

Even the signal of Den Den Mushi was missing!

In other words.

Rischiled Island had been forced to cut off the communication signal with the outside world.

Only Storm, Kizaru and Akainu were the three people who understood on the island.

At that time, Kizaru was thinking about whether to give up the "Demon Slayer Order" mission...

On the one hand, it was because he had a relationship with Storm and knew the latter's style of doing things.

As far as Kizaru was concerned, he did not hate or hostile this "Seven Warlords of the Sea".

On the other hand, it was because of Storm's true identity as "Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters" and "Second in Command of the Blade Force".

The Five Elders sent two admirals to deal with a vice admiral who was still performing an undercover mission...

When he received the mission, Kizaru was speechless.

There is also one last reason...

Kizaru was really a little worried that "White Dragon" was "Red Dragon Emperor".

Even though he had already had this awareness.

But this kind of thing has not been brought to the table after all.

If Storm is really the "Red Dragon Emperor"...

Kizaru didn't know how to face this guy.

Especially, the "Red Dragon Emperor" represents more than just a "Red Dragon Emperor". Behind him are monsters such as Whitebeard II and Golden Lion II.

"Execute the Demon Slayer Order on White Dragon".

"Execute the Demon Slaying Order against the Sekiryuutei."

"Execute the Demon Slaying Order against the Dawn Pirates."

The meanings and concepts of these three are completely different!

Kizaru was worried that after defeating Storm, Golden Lion II and Whitebeard II would descend from the sky and take him and Sakaski away...

That kind of scene is simply unimaginable.

But later, "Golden Lion II" and "Whitebeard II" and other pirate IIs did not appear...

A "Clay Sengoku" who looked exactly like Marshal Sengoku actually appeared...

What is that?

Sengoku II?

Thousands of words in one sentence.

Kizaru didn't want to fight from the beginning!

If it weren't for the "order of the Five Elders".

In addition, Sakaski is also a hawkish navy who resolutely executes orders.

Kizaru wanted to "surrender" (crossed out) a long time ago-give up this mission!

But now he still admits defeat...

The process is tortuous, but the result is the same.

"'Vice Admiral White Dragon'? Humph! I can't bear it!"

Storm snorted coldly and directly denied his identity as a navy.

"I don't want to be a navy anymore!"

This old navy, it's better not to stay!

Anyway, Storm didn't like the current "old navy" to begin with.

They are good at nothing and are the best at licking the Celestial Dragons and the Five Elders.

Two admirals of the Navy Headquarters were dispatched to execute the Demon Slayer Order against the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Hakuryu.

Storm didn't believe that other big men in the navy didn't receive the news.

If it was an old navy like Zephyr, who was away from the Navy Headquarters for many years and was focused on the Navy Recruit Training Camp...

Storm still believed that Zephyr didn't receive the news.

But what did the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Sengoku, say?

Did the Admiral know nothing about this incident?

Even if we take a step back.

Akainu!

Kizaru!

How do these two parties explain it?

A Demon Slayer Order was issued against him, but Storm didn't receive any news or notification from the Navy.

This rotten navy should have quit long ago!

'Teacher Zephyr... NEO Navy... Don't let me down...'

A thought flashed through Storm's mind, and it was fleeting.

And what he said was naturally heard by Kizaru.

Not to be a navy...

Kizaru adjusted his glasses, and the brown lenses blocked his sad and regretful eyes.

As the admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

Kizaru is certainly qualified to know Storm's true identity.

To be fair.

Kizaru has always been skeptical about the so-called "pirate undercover plan".

Because the sea is so vast.

No one can guarantee that the undercover will be "eternally pure".

What's more...

This is the real situation of the navy.

No one can guarantee whether the "undercover" who has seen the real sea will still be willing to be a navy, or whether he will degenerate into a pirate due to external factors.

Kizaru once read a philosopher's words in a book-

There is only one true heroism in the world, that is, after recognizing the truth of life, still love life.

This sentence can also be applied to the navy-

There is only one true justice in the navy, that is, after recognizing the nature of the navy and the world government, still believe in and pursue justice!

Kizaru has not heard of Storm's "justice".

But from his past performance, he probably believes in "complete justice" similar to Sakaski...

Eradication of the roots, eradication of all evil.

It's a pity that such a marine left the navy before he returned to the navy...

What makes Kizaru even more helpless is that.

The reason why the other party left the navy was not the "degeneration" he had expected before.

It was because of the mission of the Five Elders and the actions of the admirals that directly forced the other party to rebel...

It's really bad!

"Vice Admiral White Dragon——"

Kizaru was silent for a long time and tried to retain him.

"Forget it! Kizaru."

Storm interrupted Kizaru directly, he lifted the "Clay Nika Form", and the whole person returned to his original appearance.

"The Blade Force was originally a group of navy who had submitted their resignations.

"I'm leaving the navy now, and there's no problem at all! "

Without waiting for Kizaru to say anything, Storm pinched out a Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon carried him slowly into the air.

Storm stepped on the head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and looked down at Kizaru who was silent and motionless below.

"Let's stop the Demon Slayer Order incident this time! For the sake of our colleagues, I will let you and Akainu go. If there is a next time, the Navy must be prepared to replace the admiral! "

After Storm said this, he rode the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and left the Riskiled Island, which had become an "archipelago", and flew into the sky until he disappeared.

Kizaru looked at the Blue-Eyes White Dragon disappearing in the sky and sighed deeply.

He first found the unconscious and seriously injured Akainu from the gap between the archipelagoes of Riskiled Island.

Then, after a moment of hesitation, Kizaru took out his private Den Den Mushi.

The contact person of this Den Den Mushi was not the Five Elders, but someone else.

After the Den Den Mushi was connected, Kizaru spoke with difficulty.

"Kuzan... your 'deputy' has quit the navy..."
