Who made him the Pirate King?

It’s the same as the last time the bounty order for Whitebeard II was circulated.

This time, the World Government still sent the Golden Lion II's reward order by fax to every corner of the sea.

The four outer seas, paradise, new world...

Countless organizational forces related to the World Government, especially each of the participating countries, have all received the reward of Golden Lion II.

The Kingdom of Germa, which is still a member of the World Government, naturally also received this reward order.

The giant snail travels at an average speed.

When the reward order for Golden Lion II was delivered to the Kingdom of Germa.

The giant snail still stays within the East China Sea and has not even reached the Red Earth Continent.

Even if it reaches the Red Earth Continent, it will take the giant snail several weeks or even a whole month to successfully reach the North Sea.

The Kingdom of Germa received a reward for Golden Lion II.

Everyone in the Storm Pirates who are still in the Germa Kingdom has naturally seen this reward.

In a small castle specially assigned to everyone in the Storm Pirates by Vinsmoke Gaji.

Several members of the Storm Pirates held the reward for Golden Lion II and were amazed.

"Mr. Edward's reward is 1.999 billion beli.

"Mr. Lane's bounty is 1.832 billion beli.

"Our captain's bounty is 95 million beli."

Robin looked at the brand new reward order in front of him and said with great familiarity.

"After calculating this, the gap between Mr. Edward and Mr. Lane is about two captains?"

"Robin, it seems a bit awkward to say that, doesn't it?"

Nami looked at the bounty orders in front of her, her eyes shining brightly.

"But, it's really a lot of money! If you can give Mr. Edward or Mr. Lane to the Navy... suck!"

"Nami."

Robin looked at Nami amused.

"What you said seems to be more 'bad' than what I said, right?"

"Don't worry about these details..."

Nami reluctantly looked at the extremely high bounty amount on the bounty order, ranging from tens to two billion beli, and she suddenly fantasized about her own bounty order.

"If one day in the future, I am also rewarded by the World Government, will my reward amount then exceed 100 million beli?"

One hundred million beli is Nami's obsession.

"Probably not."

Robin held his chin and replied softly.

“We are the captain’s people, and the captain is King Shichibukai.

“Those who have accepted the captain’s protection will not be subject to a bounty set by the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.

"Unless one day, the captain will no longer be the king of the Shichibukai..."

"Eh? Is that so?"

Nami didn't know much about the specific system content of the King's Shichibukai.

"But why are Mr. Edward and Mr. Lane being rewarded?"

"This is probably because..."

Robin tilted his head and said uncertainly.

"Don't the World Government and the Navy Headquarters know that we are actually on the same side as Mr. Edward and Mr. Lane?"

"actually……"

Nami thought for a while and couldn't help but shrink her neck.

"Actually, I also feel that Mr. Edward and Mr. Lane don't look like our companions..."

Hearing this, Robin nodded subtly, and she agreed more with Nami's view.

Storm's strength and reputation are indeed very high.

However, he does not feel like he is on the same level as Whitebeard II and Golden Lion II...

In Robin's opinion.

Rather than saying that "Whitebeard II" and "Golden Lion II" are "companions" of the Storm Pirates.

It would be better to say that the two of them are "allies" of the Storm Pirates.

Just as Robin and Nami were discussing two bounty orders in a low voice.

A loud noise came from outside the castle.

"I'm so exhausted! I'm so exhausted!"

Ace rushed straight into the castle like a ball of fire, shouting as he ran.

"Is there anything to eat or drink?"

"Asshole Ace!"

Kidd followed Ace and rushed into the castle hall together. Electromagnetic ripples erupted all over his body, making him look extraordinary.

"Stop stealing my food!"

"Where on earth do you two get so much strength?"

Kira was the last of the three to come in. His hands were trembling and he was unable to speak.

"Obviously we received similar training intensity..."

After Storm left.

Big Bear has been carefully supervising the exercise plans of Ace, Kidd and Kira.

Although this exercise plan has not shown results yet.

But the gap in "potential" - to be precise, physical potential - between the three members has been reflected.

Ace is the best.

Kidd is second.

Kira is last.

Often at the end of a workout, Ace is full of energy, Kidd is normal, and Kira is exhausted.

Robin looked at the three companions who had returned to the castle. She was about to reach out and gesture to the food and drinks placed on the table beside her.

But before she could speak.

Ace, who had already smelled the smell, was the first to rush to the dining table, grabbed a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth.

Kidd followed closely behind. He squeezed in beside Ace and waved his hands together, constantly grabbing for the food and drinks around him.

The last one, Kira, walked towards the two of them with heavy steps. Her trembling arms seemed to have no strength to hold the tableware.

But seeing the amount of food getting less and less, Kira finally burst out with the last bit of strength and "snatched food" from the mouths of the two hungry monsters.

"You two...save some for me! Don't eat it all!"

The trio was in a whirlwind.

All the food that Robin and Nami prepared in advance were eaten cleanly by them.

The last three round "balloons" appeared in the castle hall.

"Come alive... snore..."

"Actually fell asleep? This guy Ace..."

"Brother, the relationship between you and Ace is really getting better and better, fafafafafa..."

Robin looked at the three motionless "balloons" and couldn't help but shake his head.

She crossed her arms on her chest, unleashed her [Flower Fruit] ability, and took away all the stacks of dinner plates next to the dining table.

Nami, on the other hand, walked up to the trio of Ace, Kidd and Kira, holding a few bounty tickets for Golden Lion II.

"Here! You might be interested in this."

Ace was still sleeping soundly, and now a big snot bubble appeared on his nose.

Kidd and Kira were both still awake, and they both looked at the reward order that Nami had brought over.

"Golden Lion II? Isn't this the 'companion' the captain mentioned before? How awesome!"

"One thousand and eighty, no, one hundred and eighty, no, one and eighty billion?"

Kidd's eyes widened as he looked at the numbers on the reward order in shock.

"By the way, how much is our captain's reward?"

"Kid, I advise you not to bring up this issue in front of the captain in the future."

Robin chuckled and reminded kindly.

"The captain is more 'sensitive' to bounties."

"I'm also very sensitive..."

Kidd said slightly melancholy.

"But I don't have a reward yet, not even a hundred Baileys..."

"Sister Robin."

Kira looked away from the bounty and looked at Robin.

"What did Boss Ryan do to get such a high reward at once?"

Hearing this topic, Kidd quickly became interested and looked at Robin expectantly.

If he did the same thing as Boss Ryan, could he also be offered a bounty of 1.8 billion Baileys?

"It's not a big deal."

Robin whispered.

"It just destroyed Impel Down, one of the three major institutions of the World Government."

Kidd and Kira didn't understand what this meant at all, but they said it in unison -

"Cool~"

Robin looked at these two dumbfounded young men and couldn't help but shook his head.

She pondered for a moment, stood up, found a secluded place, took out the phone, and dialed her captain.

"Moxi Moxi, Captain, have you seen today's news? There is also Mr. Lane's reward order..."

…

Windless zone, 10,000 meters high, sky courtyard.

Storm, who was resting, received a phone call from Robin, and was instantly attracted to the other person's topic.

The place where he is now is too "remote".

Neither the World Government nor the World Economic News will send faxes or newspapers here.

Storm was oblivious to the outside reaction.

"What does the news say? Forget it, we'll talk about that later!"

Storm asked about the topic that interested him the most.

"How much is Ryan's bounty? Is it 100 million Baileys?"

There was silence on Robin's side for a moment, and then, a slightly magnetic voice came from the receiver of the phone bug.

"... Mr. Lane's bounty is 1.832 billion Baileys... Hello? Captain, are you listening?"

"1.8 billion...ah haha...ha..."

Storm froze in place, as if he had turned into a zombie, and his reactions were all dry.

Whitebeard II's bounty is twenty times as high as his.

The reward amount for Golden Lion II is also nineteen times as high as his...

Storm was shocked, bewildered, understanding, and then began to reflect and draw conclusions.

"This must be all the world's fault!"

"Ah?" Robin didn't quite understand Storm's reaction, "Captain, what are you talking about?"

"I want the world to feel pain!"

Storm said seriously.

"Because this is my 'justice'!"

Robin looked at the phone in confusion. Was this a call to the captain?

What is he saying?

snap——

Storm's phone bug hung up.

Nami, who had sneaked up to the side at some point, asked with slight curiosity.

"Robin, were you talking to the captain just now? What did he say?"

"I don't know..."

Robin's pretty face showed a rare blank expression.

“He said something about ‘the world’s fault’, ‘let the world feel pain’, ‘justice’, and then hung up the phone bug.

"I think the captain is busy, right?"

…

Storm is certainly busy.

After ending the phone bug contact with Robin.

Storm then unleashed his [Visual Color Haki].

The eight-star [Visual Color Haki] is combined with the diffuse perception effect of [Thunder Fruit].

This allowed Storm, who was above the Sky Courtyard, to sense the situation on the Impel City side from the air.

So at the first time.

The breath of the admiral who wanted to slack off in Impel Down appeared in Storm's perception.

"Kizaru didn't leave Impel Down?"

Storm took back his [Observation Haki] with a strange look.

His original plan was to make a comeback -

Taking advantage of Kizaru's return to the Navy Headquarters, Storm put on the vest of Golden Lion II again, returned to Impel Down, and went to the Infinite Hell to "swim monsters".

But now, Kizaru has not left.

It is a bit difficult to deal with Kizaru with the vest of "Golden Lion II".

Storm stood up.

The clay armor of "Edward Teach" covered the surface of his body, and infinite lightning burst out above the sky courtyard.

Boom!

A thunderous roar sounded in the doldrums.

Kizaru, who was slacking off, drinking tea, and cutting his nails in Impel Down, also heard the thunder.

‘No way…’

Kizaru’s expression changed slightly, he turned into a flash of light and came directly to the first floor of the sea of ​​Impel Down.

Boom!

Another thunderclap exploded.

Edward Teach turned into thunder and fell from the sky.

“Kizaru, feel the pain…”
