Who made him the Pirate King?

"Heroic Haki!"

Storm looked at his own [Big Trophy], his eyes burst into a gleam.

He had transformed into a red dragon before and issued a war declaration to the world that "the first war on the top has officially begun".

He felt a surge of special spirit and power!

He had that special feeling several times before, but never as special and clear as today.

Storm now called out his own [Big Trophy] and took a look.

It turned out that [Heroic Haki] had awakened!

"Finally awakened!"

Storm was full of joy and couldn't wait to try to sense his [Heroic Haki].

He first closed his eyes and silently comprehended it, then suddenly opened his eyes and his eyes condensed slightly.

A faint momentum burst out from his body, and thin black and red arcs burst out in the void.

"Ah this..."

The gap between expectation and reality was too tragic, and Storm was also a little dumbfounded.

Although he also knew that his own [Domineering Haki] had just awakened, and the level was not even one star.

But no matter what, this power was too weak, right?

Storm felt that the [Domineering Haki] he had just burst out was not as good as the cold wind at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

"If you are a novice, just practice more!"

Storm took a deep breath and directly called out several [Big Trophies].

"Or, add points!"

Storm first took out three five-star [Platinum Trophies], first upgraded [Domineering Haki] to five stars, and then immediately added points to six stars.

Then, he continued to take out two six-star [Diamond Trophies] and upgraded [Domineering Haki] to seven stars.

Finally.

Storm called out the two seven-star Star Trophies [Pluto Rayleigh] and [Snake Princess Hancock], and without thinking, put them into his newly awakened [Domineering Haki].

The [Heroic Haki], which originally only had half a star, has seen a surge in the number of stars behind it after this series of crazy point additions.

[Heroic Haki: ★★★★★★★★] (8-star)

Another 8-star ability is born!

Storm held his breath and summoned his own [Grand Trophy] to check his own abilities.

His [Strength], [Speed], and [Endurance] have all reached 8-star.

His [Armament Haki], [Observation Haki], and [Heroic Haki] have all reached 8-star.

All six main attributes have reached 8-star, in exchange for -

[Physique: ★★★★★★★★] (8-star)

[Haki: ★★★★★★★★] (8-star)

From this moment on.

Storm's [Physique] and [Haki] have all reached 8-star.

It can be said to be all-round and powerful without dead ends!

And the most outstanding of them is the [Endurance] attribute.

Storm's [Endurance] attribute is not "eight stars", but "eight and a half stars"!

"I still have two eight-star [Brilliant Moon Trophy] in my hand."

Storm called out the two eight-star trophies he won by defeating Marshal Sengoku and Red-haired Shanks.

Staring at the two eight-star trophies emerging from the void, he fell into a state of thinking.

Two eight-star trophies.

You can upgrade two abilities below eight stars to eight stars.

Or you can upgrade an eight-star ability to nine stars!

Storm's current [Endurance] attribute is "eight and a half stars".

If he uses an eight-star [Brilliant Moon Trophy] and invests it in the [Endurance] attribute, he can get nine-star [Endurance]!

At the same time.

Storm can continue to save an eight-star [Brilliant Moon Trophy] for the rest of the ability points.

At this moment.

Storm's mind suddenly flashed with the teachings of the two "teachers".

First of all, it was Zephyr's words——

"Only the physique is the foundation!"

This is, of course, correct.

Storm first looked at his own [Endurance] attribute.

But at this moment, another famous lecturer of the sea, "Hundred Scholars" Kaido's teaching golden words emerged in his mind.

"Only Haki can override everything!"

Storm shifted his gaze and then looked at his [Haki] ability.

To be precise.

Storm looked at his [Haki] ability that had just been upgraded to eight stars!

Among the three colors of Haki.

The most special one is definitely [Haki]!

Even if it is said in the ancient sea, [Haki] is a special ability contained in every living body.

But the [Haki] that ordinary people can stimulate, awaken, and master is only [Armament Haki] and [Observation Haki].

[Haki] is said to be the innate king's qualification, and it is a special Haki that cannot be acquired through acquired learning.

Not only this.

Storm knew what the "version answer" was better than anyone else on the sea!

The version of the mythical beasts was over.

Now it was the world of [Heroic Haki]!

Storm's mind was filled with various special abilities of [Heroic Haki].

For example, the most basic "shock", "pressure", and "fainting" were not mentioned.

Even the more advanced "Heroic Haki entanglement" was a familiar ability.

The most special thing about [Heroic Haki] is that.

First, [Heroic Haki] can be sealed and stored!

Even the [Heroic Haki] from eight hundred years ago can still be sealed until now through special means.

Secondly, [Heroic Haki] can block the perception of [Observation Haki]!

This is the "Observation Killing" ability that Red-haired Shanks has shown, which belongs to him alone.

Finally, [Heroic Haki] can force other people's devil fruit abilities to be invalidated!

Even the immortal Five Elders cannot escape the sanctions of the top [Heroic Haki].

"Instead of raising the [Endurance] attribute to nine stars..."

Storm's eyes flashed with a firm and decisive light.

"It is better to follow the version and choose to improve [Heroic Haki]!"

In Storm's view.

[Heroic Haki] is in and will be in the dominant position of the version for a long time.

The power of the Heroic Haki is the real power.

Even a navy admiral would be frightened to the point of sweating and raising his hands in surrender in front of a sufficiently powerful [Heroic Haki]!

In addition.

Storm's [Endurance] attribute has reached "eight and a half stars".

He now has an eight-star [Red Dragon Fruit], which greatly increases his own [Physique] attribute.

Storm does not need to continue to improve [Endurance] for the time being.

Since the decision has been made.

Then Storm will no longer hesitate.

He directly put two eight-star [Brilliant Moon Trophy] into the newly awakened [Heroic Haki].

The number of stars dotted behind [Heroic Haki] fluctuated and changed, and a star as dazzling as the sun emerged.

[Heroic Haki: ★★★★★★★★★] (Nine-star)

Storm's first nine-star ability was born!

Nine-star [Heroic Haki]!

Storm took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to test the nine-star [Heroic Haki] immediately.

He still had a lot of high-level trophies that he hadn't used yet, so he would wait until all the points were added before testing his abilities.

After the points just added.

He had used up two of the eight-star, seven-star, and six-star [trophies].

Storm still had four seven-star trophies and six six-star trophies left.

His [Physique] and [Haki] attributes were all above eight stars.

The seven-star and six-star trophies could not add points to the [Physique] and [Haki] attributes.

These trophies could only be used to improve the ability levels of [Devil Fruits] and [Devil Rings]!

Storm looked at the nine [Devil Rings] he had.

He first took out the Death Stars trophy of [Jesus Bu] and directly upgraded a seven-star [Devil Ring] to eight stars.

Then, he called out two more star trophies and threw them into the [Momo Fruit].

After the [Clay Fruit] and [Artificial Red Dragon Fruit].

Storm's third eight-star devil fruit ability was born!

[Momo Ring: ★★★★★★★★] (eight-star)

"The third eight-star [Devil Ring]!"

Storm gently rubbed the [Momo Ring] a few times.

The ability of the [Momo Fruit] is not as complex and diverse as the [Artificial Red Dragon Fruit].

In short.

The [Momo Fruit] is a very simple "value fruit".

The extremely exaggerated multiplication amount gives the [Momo Fruit] an extremely exaggerated strength.

As early as when Storm upgraded the [Momo Fruit] to seven stars, he could burst out a maximum of "thousand-fold increase".

Now he has upgraded the [Momo Fruit] to eight stars.

Will the ability of the [Momo Fruit] undergo some special changes?

Storm recalled the strange effect of the [Clay Fruit] when it was upgraded to eight stars.

The eight-star [Clay Fruit] is not exactly the same as the [Mythical Beast · Nika Fruit] in terms of performance, but it is exactly the same.

"However, the [Momo Fruit] has almost no 'ability mechanism', it is a pure 'numerical fruit'... there shouldn't be a 'Momo Nika' like 'Clay Nika', right?"

Storm's heart suddenly felt a chill, he shook his head vigorously, and threw out the inexplicable thoughts.

After adding points to the [Momo Ring] and upgrading it to eight stars.

There is only one seven-star [Star Trophy] left.

Storm looked at the six-star [Diamond Trophy] and the two [Devil Ring·Imitation] that are still at six stars.

He thought for a moment, called out four six-star trophies, and directly put them into the [Explosion Ring].

The star rating of [Explosion Ring] was also upgraded to seven stars!

Storm still had one [Star Trophy] and two [Diamond Trophy] left in his hand.

He didn't have any other abilities or equipment to add, so he simply put away these high-level big trophies.

Storm admired his own [Big Trophy] with great satisfaction.

"Nine-star [Domineering Haki]!"

"Eight-star [Momo Ring]!"

"I am so strong now!"

Storm put on the [Momo Ring] and applied the power to the sky garden under his feet.

The flying speed of the sky garden soared directly.

Starting from the Sabaody Archipelago, it crossed the Red Earth Continent at high speed and rushed directly into the New World from a height of 10,000 meters.

Storm entered the New World again.

And his strength in the "First Top War" began to set off huge waves on the entire ocean.

The whole world is discussing the name of that man -

The Red Dragon Emperor!
