Who made him the Pirate King?

"I must kill you!"

"Welcome at any time, the second greatest swordsman in the world."

"……second?"

"What? I defeated you with my sword, so I am now the world's greatest swordsman! Number two."

"You guy... you also call that 'using a sword'? You're a 'fighting sect'!"

"You are too attached to things outside of you, Hawkeye. How can a sword be such an inconvenient thing?"

"Hmph! You, a guy who fights with fists, what qualifications do you have to say such things?"

"What about fists? I met a new guy who fought with a water pipe before!"

Storm said casually, unfazed by Hawkeye Mihawk's repulsive attitude.

"As long as [Armed Haki] is strong enough, an ordinary water pipe can be twisted into a 'supreme water pipe'!"

Storm's words are well-founded and convincing.

Even the (former) world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, didn't know how to respond to this sentence.

When a guy with bare hands defeated the world's greatest swordsman who fought with a supreme sword.

No matter what the other party says, there is a reason for it.

Although Hawkeye Mihawk felt unhappy, he couldn't find any reason to refute.

"Hmph! Only meat and no wine?"

"Where do you think this is? There is only fresh water just found from the small island next to it——"

"Gulu-poof! Hot?"

"Looking at you, you are anxious."

Storm avoided Hawkeye Mihawk's "water spray" attack and looked at the opponent with a frown.

"The water in the wild is not that clean. It has just been boiled. You have to wait for it to cool down before drinking it."

"You guy..."

Hawkeye Mihawk crushed the clay pot that Storm had just handed him, his whole body trembling.

"One day, I will definitely kill you!"

"Not bad! Very energetic!"

Wait until you have eaten and drank enough.

Hawkeye Mihawk's aura, which seemed a little sluggish just now, also recovered a lot.

"I've been absent from work for five days, and I'm going back to Impel Down now."

Storm waved his hand to Hawkeye Mihawk, and a blue-eyed white dragon emerged from the ground and picked him up.

"Are you going to stay here alone, or go back with me first?"

"My ship is still in Impel Down."

Hawkeye Mihawk responded coldly, and then jumped onto the back of the blue-eyed white dragon.

"You guys are really not polite at all..."

Storm complained, but didn't mind, and directly drove the blue-eyed white dragon back to Impel Down City.

Five days passed.

Impel City has changed a lot compared to before.

What is particularly obvious is that there are several more large naval warships on the port dock of Impel City.

This was specially dispatched to Impel Down by the World Government.

Golden Lion II and Whitebeard II are still coming.

The defense work of Impel City still needs to be maintained to avoid unnecessary accidents.

When Storm rode the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and took Hawk-Eye Mihawk back to Impel Down City.

A yellow flash appeared on the sea level.

"Hey, isn't this a white dragon?"

Kizaru raised his right hand and said hello with a smile.

"And Hawkeye."

Hawkeye Mihawk nodded to Kizaru and then left on his own.

He asked for the small sampan he had accidentally left here before from the jailer in Impel Down City, and then he left as fast as he could hold on to an oar, holding the supreme sharp knife [Ye]. The sea area where Impel City is located.

"Eagle Eye! Keep in touch when you have time!"

Storm shouted at Hawkeye Mihawk's back.

But I don't know if it was his imagination, but Mihawk's rowing speed seemed to be a little faster.

"Ström, what did you do to the 'world's greatest swordsman'?"

Kizaru touched the stubble on his chin and looked at Storm in slight surprise.

"He looks like he can't wait to leave~"

"It's not 'the world's greatest swordsman', it's 'the world's second greatest swordsman'."

Storm pulled out the [Liquor Iron Ore Saber] from his waist, performed a delicate sword trick, and then put it on his shoulder.

"The current 'world's greatest swordsman' is just me."

"Um?"

The way Kizaru looked at Storm became even weirder.

"Although I heard from the Warring States Marshal that you have a little habit of bragging, I didn't expect that your illness has become so serious~

"Would you like me to contact the doctor for you? I am very familiar with Vegapunk."

"General Kizaru, what do you mean?"

Storm raised the [Liquor Iron Ore Saber] in his hand, pointing the bright tip directly at Kizaru.

"How about we come and spar?"

"Swords are very dangerous weapons~"

Kizaru stretched out two fingers and pushed the blade of the [Liquor Iron Ore Saber] away from his face.

"If there is nothing else, I will go back to rest first - I mean, go back to recover from my injuries."

"There is indeed something going on."

Storm put the [Liquor Iron Ore Saber] back into its sheath with a "clang" sound.

"General Kizaru, I have been in the Windless Zone for the past five days, and it is not far from Impel Down City. Does this count as me 'protecting' Impel Down City?"

"……ah?"

Kizaru tilted his head and couldn't understand what Storm wanted to express at all.

"What do you want to say?"

"I mean, five days have passed and I haven't returned to the infinite hell of my loyalty."

Storm said seriously.

"Now I want to die for those prisoners in infinite hell!"

Want to die?

Do you want them to die?

Kizaru twisted his mouth.

As a general, he was also the general who guarded the city.

Of course Kizaru also knew the contents of the "deal" between Storm and Sengoku——

White Dragon is willing to come to Impel Down City and fight Whitebeard II together, but he needs to execute the prisoners in Infinite Hell on a regular basis.

After Kizaru learned about this "inside story of the transaction", he felt that Storm, a junior...

His personality is a bit awkward.

Obey the marshal's instructions honestly, defend Impel Down City, fight against pirates, and at the same time actively clean up prisoners and reduce the burden on Impel Down City...

Kizaru has not met such a motivated and hard-working rookie Kaibing in many years.

What a blessing for the Navy...

Who is spreading the rumor that Vongola Storm is the "biggest stain on the navy"?

Kizaru touched his chin, looked at Storm, and asked softly.

"It seems like Magellan always accompanied you on executions of prisoners before, right?"

Storm nodded, "Yes."

"In that case, let me accompany you to the infinite hell today."

Kizaru waved to Storm and walked side by side to the entrance of Impel Down City.

"After staying in Impel Down for so long, I have never been to Infinite Hell~

"I heard that there are many, many strong and terrifying prisoners imprisoned there~"

Storm glanced sideways at Kizaru, but said nothing.

He didn't know why Kizaru, who had always been lazy, took the initiative to accompany him to the infinite hell today...

But just go.

Anyway, Storm is doing things with "money" now, and all his actions are in compliance with the rules.

On the way to infinite hell.

Storm and Kizaru kept chatting away.

"General Kizaru, has there been any interesting news happening on the sea in the past few days?"

"Interesting news? Let me think about it, there doesn't seem to be any~"

"Did anything interesting happen in Impel Down?"

"Well, the deputy director was imprisoned in infinite hell again. Is this an interesting thing?"

"That bastard Yu Zhiliu killed someone again? Did he kill the jailer again this time?"

"That's right~ Impel Down is really dangerous~ That guy Magellan is as strong as a monster."

"Magellan was just 'like' a monster, but you, General Kizaru, you 'are' a monster."

"ah?"

Infinite hell is just ahead.

Storm turned to look at Kizaru and asked seriously.

"General Kizaru, Hiromu Amame is now imprisoned in the Infinite Hell. He is also a prisoner of the Infinite Hell. Can he be included in the execution list?"

"Of course...it's not possible~"

Kizaru tilted his mouth and smiled lightly.

“Ström, before the government’s verdict is issued, Hiryuu of the Rain is still the deputy director of Impel Down City~

"Don't do anything risky~"

Storm shook his head regretfully, and then stepped into infinite hell.

After his repeated torture, the number of remaining prisoners in the infinite hell was less than ten.

The huge infinite hell is as quiet as a real hell.

Storm and Kizaru walked in the infinite hell, their footsteps echoing around them.

Not long after.

The two of them came to a prison together, where a prisoner was being held.

"White Dragon..."

Without waiting for the prisoner to ask for mercy.

The vast amount of clay directly submerged his body.

It doesn't take a moment.

A bloody diamond trophy jumped out of the void.

Storm put away the trophy and glanced at Kizaru.

The other party's expression did not change at all, nor was he eager to urge Storm to leave the infinite hell like Magellan before.

"General Kizaru?"

"Um?"

Kizaru seemed to have taken a nap. He turned his head and looked at Storm, as if he was really confused.

"What's wrong?"

"……nothing."

Storm twitched his lips and continued walking toward the next prison.

Kizaru was like a quiet ghost, silently following Storm without making any comment.

A few minutes later.

Obtained the second [Blood Diamond Trophy].

Then came the third, fourth...

Storm has harvested six [Blood Diamond Trophies] in a row.

There are only three "residents" left in the infinite hell.

Just when Storm was about to walk to the next prison.

Kizaru, who had been playing the puppet man, finally spoke.

"Ström, your business is finished."

"...There are two left."

"That's enough. The government doesn't keep these prisoners just for you to kill for fun."

Kizaru said seriously.

If the other party hadn't just turned a blind eye to what he had done, Storm would have believed that Kizaru was a good sailor who firmly supported all the orders of the World Government.

Listen to others and eat enough.

Seeing that Kizaru had given so much face just now, Storm no longer persisted.

"...Then let's stop here!"

Storm carries six blood diamond trophies.

Kizaru felt extremely relaxed.

The two of them walked back to the entrance to Infinite Hell together.

A panting figure ran towards him, it was Magellan, the director of Impulse City.

"General Kizaru! Vongola Storm! What were you two doing just now!?"

Kizaru twisted his mouth and suddenly raised his head to look at the ceiling of infinite hell.

This ceiling is really a ceiling~

Seeing that the admiral actually flinched at this time, Storm couldn't help but curled his lips.

"Magellan, I'm here to get paid!"

"The pay is shit!"

Magellan stared and cursed.

"You killed only three of the prisoners in the Infinite Hell! I saw them all!"

"Yes! That's right! So what?"

Storm nodded and said confidently.

"People can't be resurrected after death, so please take it easy! Magellan."

"You-I-"

Upon hearing this, the expression on Magellan's face rapidly changed between purple and red.

"Vongola Storm! Get out of here!! You are not welcome in Impel Down!!!"

"Just leave!"

Storm looked at Kizaru, raised his right hand and shook it.

"General Kizaru, I will leave you alone to guard this place.

"People like us who work conscientiously will always be misunderstood by others. The world is really..."

Kizaru twitched his lips, looked at Magellan who was almost completely red, and urged.

"We are different...just go and leave this place to me."

Whitebeard II never came.

Letting Storm continue to stay in Impel Down City is not an issue.

after all.

Kizaru only needs to stay in Impel Down City to recuperate and fish for a living.

But members of the Blade Force like Storm have a lot to consider.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

Storm nodded to Kizaru.

There are only three people left in the Infinite Hell, and one of them is Hiruzo Ame who just lived there recently.

It would be disrespectful for Storm to continue killing.

Since there is no "reward" to be gained.

Storm no longer had the motivation to stay in Impel Down City.

"Magellan, see you next time!"

"Absolutely no next time!"

Magellan said in a deep voice.

"I will definitely protect Impel Down City!"

"What if Whitebeard II comes?"

Storm asked enthusiastically.

“Or maybe it’s the Golden Lion II?”

Every name is announced.

Magellan's face turned rosy.

Kizaru couldn't stand it anymore and pushed Storm's shoulder.

Before Magellan was completely red-hot and turned into a "giant soldier of poison".

Storm patted his butt and left directly.

This time I left not as hastily as last time.

After Storm said goodbye to Hannibal, Domino, and Little Satie, he flew out of Impel Down on the blue-eyed white dragon.

Just flew for a while.

Storm saw Hawkeye Mihawk rowing hard on the sea below again.

He controlled the blue-eyed white dragon to descend.

The shadow directly covered Hawkeye Mihawk's boat.

Storm's voice then reached his ears.

"Hawkeye, why are you so slow?"

Hawkeye Mihawk looked up at the sky and saw the huge white dragon in the sky.

The corners of his eyes twitched, he put away the supreme sharp knife [Black Knife Night], and jumped directly onto the back of the blue-eyed white dragon.

This time, Hawkeye Mihawk did not forget to remind him.

"Take my ship!"

Storm looked at the familiar Mihawk with eagle eyes and couldn't help but curled his lips.

"Hey! Are you sure we're on our way?"

Hawkeye Mihawk, "Where are you going?"

Storm thought for a while and gave the answer: "East China Sea. I heard a while ago that Crocodile abandoned his base camp and ran to the East China Sea. I don't know what he was doing. I want to take a look."

"Then I'll drop by!"

Hawkeye Mihawk's crispness was beyond Storm's expectation.

He was silent for a moment and then asked.

"...Then what if I go to the new world?"

"What are you doing in the New World?"

"Of course it's for the Yonko! Do you want to come together? Hawkeye."

"I have no interest in the Pirate Emperor! Except...red-haired Shanks!"

"I knew it! You always miss that man! No. 2."

Storm put his hands on his hands and laughed.

"Then our goals are the same! The red-haired pirates are also within my target range."

Just two words: "No. 2".

Hawkeye Mihawk was silent once again.

However, at this moment, Storm continued to speak.

"Hey, Hawkeye, do you want to join my pirate team?"

"I don't trust you!"

"But we are now on the same dragon!"
