Who made him the Pirate King?

"Something's wrong."

In the Sky Courtyard, Storm hung up the contact phone with Saint Nasshou Lang and frowned slightly.

"Twelve out of ten things are wrong."

The Five Old Stars unexpectedly suddenly mentioned the matter of "continuing to trade Don Quixote Doflamingo" at this moment.

Storm's intuition told him that there must be something fishy.

After all, the "Pluto Rayleigh Transaction" had just ended, and another major incident occurred in the subsequent "Pluto Rayleigh Execution".

From Storm's point of view, it was not surprising that the Five Old Stars would now call him, reprimand him directly, and even forcibly deprive him of his status as a Shichibukai.

But the Five Old Stars inexplicably proposed to continue the Donquixote Doflamingo deal.

Although this event is written as a "transaction" and pronounced as "blackmail", the "Tianyaksha Redemption Incident" itself was led by Storm.

But now that Wulaoxing is the target of blackmail, he actually actively demands to be blackmailed...

Is there anything wrong with Wulaoxing's head?

Storm thinks there is probably no such thing.

Then there is only one possibility left!

Wulaoxing is preparing to make some noise in this "blackmail transaction"!

One is the high-ranking Five Old Stars.

One is the lawless Shichibukai.

Storm could think of it even with his toes - if Wulaoxing really planned to do something, it was most likely to use this "blackmail transaction" to target him!

When he thought of this, Storm was inexplicably moved.

"Did the Five Old Stars finally recognize my true identity!?"

There is no Sekiryuutei in the world.

But even if Storm directly "revealed himself" on the Shampoo Islands, no one would believe that the Sekiryuutei was him.

Now it is suspected that it has been "recognized" by the highest power of the world government.

A thought suddenly appeared in Storm's mind——

Not all people on the sea are "blind"!

So now comes the problem.

"How far does Wulaoxing plan to go?"

"Take the opportunity to execute Donquixote Doflamingo?"

"Or... do you want to seize the opportunity and 'execute' me?"

Storm's eyes narrowed, and he clenched his right fist, and black-red arcs exploded and echoed between his fingers.

"I just need a few suitable sandbags to sharpen my [Overlord Color Dominance]!"

The nine-star [Overlord Color Dominance] is really strong.

Storm originally wanted to continue the previous training mode and let the "Clay Doll" made by [Clay Fruit] serve as his sparring partner.

But as soon as the nine-star [Bawang Color Haki] came out, those "clay dolls", from Whitebeard II to Golden Lion II, from Ryan to Qiao An, none of the clay dolls could move freely.

The development level of [Clay Fruit] is only "eight-star".

Of course, this level is very high, but it is not enough in front of the nine-star [Overlord Color Haki]!

Once Storm fully unleashed the nine-star [Overlord Color Haki], the clay dolls he created using [Clay Fruit] seemed to be forced "offline".

Although it will not be directly "returned to its original shape", that is, it will return to the original appearance of clay.

But all those clay dolls couldn't move, so naturally they couldn't have any sparring effect.

Wulaoxing's proposal came at the right time.

Storm, who originally wanted to fly slowly to the North Sea, suddenly couldn't hold himself back.

He stretched out his right hand, gently pressed it on the sky courtyard below, and gave the power of [Momo Ring] to the floating island.

[Momo Fruit·Thousand times speed]

Whoosh——

The sky courtyard instantly disappeared from the spot, and ran directly towards the North Sea at an extremely fast speed.

With the blessing of [Momo Fruit·Thousand Times Speed], Sky Garden quickly flew across the windless zone of the new world, all the way to the North Sea, and then followed the instructions of the life card to the sky above the Kingdom of Germa.

After Strom's [Seeing Color Haki] sensed the auras of Big Bear and Robin, he immediately controlled the Sky Courtyard to stop.

Kaka - rustle -

A rustling sound reached Storm's ears.

Storm lowered his head and looked at the sky courtyard at his feet. He saw deep cracks blooming on the ground, and sand and dust continued to fall towards the sea below.

"For an ordinary earth island, the [Thousand Times Speed] of [Momo Fruit] is indeed a bit too reluctant..."

The seven-star [Momo Fruit]'s doubling limit has reached a thousand times.

But even Storm rarely uses [Momo Ring] to activate the thousand-fold increase.

Because of the [Thousand-fold Amplification] of [Momo Fruit], there are certain requirements for the material of the object being amplified.

Give an example.

If it were just an ordinary wooden board.

After going through the [thousand-fold increase] of [Momo Ring].

Before it reaches its destination, it will spontaneously ignite in the air and burn to ashes due to severe air friction.

As an ordinary earth island, the sky courtyard is stronger than wood, but its strength is limited.

Passing the violent rush of Storm [Momo Fruit·Thousand-fold Amplification].

Sky Court is currently facing the risk of disintegration.

"Sure enough, it's because [Momo Fruit] is too strong!"

Storm shook his head, and he released the power of [Fluttering Fruit] to reshape the sky courtyard that was slowly disintegrating, making it strong again.

After all this is done and it is confirmed that no new problems will occur in the Sky Courtyard.

Storm took out another blue-eyed white dragon and rode it to the giant snail in the Germa Kingdom.

This time, he did not inform the members of the Storm Pirates in advance of his upcoming return.

But when the blue-eyed white dragon landed on the giant snail.

The members of the Storm Pirates still discovered the arrival of their captain.

Ace, Kidd and Kira, who were doing their daily exercises, quickly sprinted to the area near the Blue Eyes White Dragon.

"captain!"

"Boss!"

"Kid, Kira, you two go and call Dr. Gaji over."

Storm first waved to the two South Sea natives, and then called Ace in front of him.

"Ace, come with me first."

Kidd and Kira were ordered to retreat.

Ace climbed directly onto the blue-eyed white dragon's body like a flexible monkey.

Storm manipulated the blue-eyed white dragon's body to reveal a huge pit on its surface.

He and Ace "fell" into the dragon's belly cabin together.

In the cabin of the blue-eyed white dragon's belly, the lamps lit up one after another, illuminating the entire space.

"Come with me."

Storm walked to the front immediately.

Ace followed closely behind him, looking at the latter with surprised eyes as he walked.

Storm naturally noticed Ace's gaze and asked casually.

"What's wrong?"

"Everyone gathered together today and watched the live broadcast on the Shampoo Islands."

"Um, so what?"

"So the 'Sekiryuutei' is actually you!"

Ace said very excitedly.

"It's really amazing!"

Storm paused, turned his head, and looked at Ace.

"Do you think I am the Sekiryuutei? Does anyone else think so besides you?"

Storm remembered the last time he played the "confession game" with everyone, but no one believed that he was "Whitebeard II".

Now someone finally believes that he is the "Sekiryuutei"!

However……

"Only me, Kidd and Kira think so."

Ace stretched out his fingers, cracked them together, and replied.

"Robin said that Sekiryuutei might be your 'brother'. Nami supported Robin, but Big Bear didn't express his opinion."

Ace, Kidd, and Kira believe that the Sekiryuutei is Storm;

Robin and Nami hold other opinions, and Big Bear’s attitude is unknown...

The corners of Storm's mouth twitched slightly.

Why does it feel like he only has the trust of reckless men?

"The fact is..."

Storm looked at Ace and instantly activated the power of the [Red Dragon Ring], transforming into a small red dragon.

"I am Sekiryuutei!"

"So cool!"

Ace's eyes lit up and he clapped wildly with his hands.

"This is just like a 'transformation'! Even more handsome than Ocean Warrior Sora!"

Ocean warrior Sora?

Several black lines appeared on Storm's dragon-shaped face.

Isn't that the ocean hero from the World Economic News comic strip?

Ace has only been in Beihai for a few days, and he has become a fan of Sora, the marine warrior?

Storm immediately exited the dragon-transformation state, returned to his normal appearance, and continued walking forward.

Ace was like a fly, following behind Storm, constantly making "buzzing" noise attacks.

"Captain...Captain...can you perform that again..."

Along the way, Storm ignored Ace's request and led Ace to a human sculpture.

"arrive."

"Um?"

Ace looked at the humanoid statue in front of him.

The moment Storm arrived, the clay covering the humanoid statue receded, revealing the figure inside.

Hades Silbaz Rayleigh.

Storm looked down at Hades Rayleigh and said calmly.

"I have brought the old pirate you asked me to save before, Ace."

As soon as the word "Ace" was spoken.

Rayleigh, who had closed his eyes just now and looked like a corpse, instantly opened his eyes and looked straight at Ace.

‘I didn’t ask you to save this old guy! ’

Ace originally wanted to have a tough word with Storm.

But Rayleigh's sudden opening of his eyes startled him.

Before Ace could speak, Riley spoke in an inexplicably complicated tone.

"Your name is...'Ace'?"

The last time Rayleigh saw Ace, he felt that the young man looked very familiar.

He originally wanted to ask the black-haired young man what his name was.

It's a pity that Storm didn't give Rayleigh a chance at all that time.

Until today.

Rayleigh finally knew the name of this very familiar young man.

Ace!

The name of Roger's sword back then was also called "Ace"!

Rayleigh finally understood why he thought this black-haired young man looked familiar before...

"Your name is..."

Riley's lips trembled slightly, but he still insisted on asking.

"Gol D. Ace?"

"no!"

Ace objected without hesitation.

"My name is Portgas D. Ace."

"He inherited his mother's surname."

Storm interrupted at this time.

"His mother's surname is 'Portgas', but she is also a member of the D family."

Ace's expression froze, and he looked at Storm anxiously and annoyed.

Through Ace's expression, Rayleigh knew everything.

"So you are really... the captain's son?"

Rayleigh suddenly laughed heartily.

"Hahahaha..."

"What's so funny about this?"

Ace clenched his fists, his expression gloomy.

"You old man!"

"Let's talk about it later if we want to keep in touch. You have plenty of time later."

Storm stepped forward and stretched out his right hand to Rayleigh.

"Although we are enemies, I don't intend to take your life at the moment.

"Rayleigh, you who know everything, be prepared to be forgotten by the world! "

Storm put his hand on Rayleigh's shoulder and suddenly activated the power of the [Childlike Ring].

Instantly.

Pluto Rayleigh turned into a dirty old man doll.
