Who made him the Pirate King?

After a few minutes.

Storm went from the admiral's office on the top floor to the Navy Finance Department below.

His purpose here is simple and clear - to get paid!

The Navy is like this.

If pirates want to make money, they only need to do evil, burn, kill, loot, and make waves on the sea.

But the navy can only wait patiently for the World Government to issue military pay.

The Navy implements an "annual salary system."

The amount a new sailor who has just joined the army can earn per year is——

Two million Baileys!

This does not include other aspects, such as subsidies and bonuses for uniforms, meals, etc.

From this point of view, the Navy's welfare benefits are pretty good.

It didn't take long.

Storm got his salary from the finance department——

A total of two hundred brand-new 10,000-yuan notes!

Storm casually pocketed the two million Baileys.

He turned around and left the Finance Department, and then came to the Logistics and Equipment Department.

Isn’t the purpose of paying wages just to spend the wages?

The salary is in place and the equipment is available.

Logistics Equipment Department.

The person responsible for receiving Storm was a muscular and unshaven middle-aged navy man.

He looked at Storm's navy uniform, then glanced at the latter's bulging pockets.

"New recruits? Rare! What weapons and equipment do you want?"

"I want to customize two weapons, a long knife and a swing stick."

Storm has Pele in his pocket and has the confidence to speak.

“But I have additional requirements for the material of the swing stick.

"I want to customize a sea-floor stone throwing stick."

Storm has not yet awakened [Haki].

He came here to customize a "Hailou Stone Weapon" just in case.

The Hailou Stone Throwing Stick is specially designed to hit those with abilities.

It's definitely a stick that really hurts, and a stick that hits hard.

As for the long knife.

After all, Storm is only a human being with the naked eye.

He doesn't have Big Mom's innate, monster-like "steel balloon" talent.

Storm can box.

But he also uses a knife!

Storm's original goal was to buy a good knife that met his needs from the equipment department.

It would be better if there was a "famous sword" of the level of Liang Kuai Dao.

Generally speaking.

The market price of a good sword is about one million beli.

This price is still affordable with Storm's financial resources.

However, good sharp knives often have a price but no market.

There are more people using knives on the sea than playing with fire.

There are also countless swordsmen and even swordsmen in the navy.

It is difficult for truly famous knives to enter the market.

"Hai Lou Shi? You are knowledgeable!"

The middle-aged navy gave a thumbs up and praised.

“I remember that the last person who specifically came to the equipment department to customize sea floor stone weapons was the Smogner boy.

“The Hailou Stone Equipment Department has stock, but the ‘Hailou Stone Throwing Stick’ you mentioned is not readily available yet.

"If you want to customize a weapon like this, you might have to wait a day or two."

"Can."

Storm nodded, he could still afford to wait for a day or two.

"Where's the long knife?"

"A sword..."

The middle-aged navy man rubbed his stubble a few times and then quietly glanced at the recruit's pocket.

“Speaking of which, the equipment department just received a batch of wine and iron ore recently.

"This is a very rare and special mineral that can be ignited just like alcohol.

"Weapons made from liquor iron ore can 'burn'!"

Burning sword?

A flaming sword?

Storm subconsciously thought of [Burning Fruit].

Now you can even play with fire with swords?

"Liquor iron ore weapons can not only be manually ignited, but can also be set on fire by friction."

The middle-aged navy continued to promote what he called "wine and iron ore".

"This kind of weapon is very popular in the New World."

Although the power of such a "flame weapon" is not optimistic.

But it's even cooler! More cool! More handsome!

The point is that its creation cost is more expensive than ordinary sword weapons!

A philistine smile like a profiteer appeared on the middle-aged navy's mouth.

"It does sound interesting."

Storm asked the most crucial question.

"How much does it cost in total for such a wine-iron ore saber and a sea-tower stone slinging stick?"

"The sea floor stone stick is not difficult to process, so I will charge you a cost! Two hundred thousand beli!"

The smile on the middle-aged navy's face immediately became obvious.

"The Kejiu Iron Ore Saber costs 800,000 Baileys! Although it is not a famous sword, the price is definitely worth it!

"A total of one million Baileys! Guest, do you want cash or check?"

"I……"

Just as Storm was about to reach for the money, he suddenly caught a glimpse of his navy uniform.

He paused and changed the subject.

"I'm a new recruit!"

"?"

The middle-aged navy suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

This guy wouldn't say "I'm a new recruit, send me off", right?

no! That's absolutely not possible!

Don't say you are a recruit, even if you have recruits!

"Sir!"

Storm smiled brightly.

"I'm a new recruit! Let me chop you with a knife!"

I just want to chop you up now!

The middle-aged marine clenched his fists instantly.

…

‘The chief of the Logistics and Equipment Department is quite nice! ’

Storm walked out of the equipment department in a happy mood.

Just now, he spent one million beli to buy a Liquor Iron Ore Saber and a Sea Tower Stone Swinging Stick from the Equipment Department.

And a transoceanic phone bug.

and a permanent Admiralty pointer.

The latter two are free gifts from the hospitable equipment department.

Not worth mentioning.

Storm left the Navy headquarters building with brisk steps, and then came to the headquarters training ground.

The "Two Hundred Times Effort" link requires a lot of hard work and sweat to open.

It's not just a casual word that can be cheated directly.

In the past year.

Storm has been exercising like crazy in the boot camp and learned a lot of skills during this period.

These include [Six Styles], [Swordsmanship], [Spearmanship] and so on.

But when he came to the headquarters training ground today, Storm had no intention of continuing to hone his physical skills.

In comparison.

Storm is more interested in the [Clay Fruit] he just obtained.

"Hey!", "Ho!", "Ha!", "Hey!"——

Storm gets closer to the training ground.

There were sounds of clashing muscles, powerful roars, mixed with some strange moans.

He heard these sounds more and more clearly.

But just when Storm stepped into the training ground.

A rather unpleasant word floated on the wind.

"I really want to be Miss Peacock's dog——"

Along with it, there was a rhythmic sound of "pa" and "pa".

The sound sounded like a whip being slapped on the body.

No!

Not "like", but "fact"!

Storm stopped and looked.

It was in an open space not far from him.

A tall, blond, blue-eyed young girl was whipping a sailor mercilessly.

Storm raised his eyebrows slightly.

He recognized the identity of the blonde girl who was holding a whip and whipping people at a glance.

The granddaughter of the chief staff officer of the headquarters - Peacock!

But according to Storm's understanding.

The weapon Peacock used before was not a "whip" but a "long sword".

Storm watched carefully for a moment longer.

Only then did he realize that the "whip" in Peacock's hand was not a "whip" at all.

To be precise.

That is a long sword that is softened and looks like a whip!

Storm realized something immediately.

‘Has the peacock eaten that [whip whip fruit]? ’

And at this time.

The peacock seemed to sense Storm's gaze.

She stopped pumping and turned to look in Storm's direction, her green eyes instantly brightening.

"Storm?!"

The peacock raised the whip in her hand, and her eager expression seemed like that of a female animal about to catch its prey.

"Come here quickly!"

Put aside the relationship between the two of them who once counted stars and admired the moon together.

Storm and Peacock were among the top sailors in last year's boot camp.

The two often sparred and fought.

Storm knows the depths of a peacock.

Peacock understands Storm's strengths and weaknesses.

The relationship is mature!

At this time, Peacock once again actively initiated a battle invitation.

Storm, who originally wanted to test the specific effects of the [Devil Ring], would certainly not refuse the other party's warm invitation.

However.

Storm just took a step forward.

The peacock, who was not in a hurry, opened her long, white, straight legs and ran straight towards the former.

Her speed was so fast that ordinary people couldn't react, and it was astonishingly——

Six styles of shaving!

"Storm!"

Peacock raised the whip in his hand, and the figure of the man in front of him was clearly reflected in his green eyes.

"Let me train you properly!"

Peacock's right arm swung forward heavily, and the whip shot out of the air, heading straight for Storm.

Woo——

The soft sword shaped like a long whip roared and tore through the air, making a scream that made the surrounding spectators tremble with fear.

Facing this sudden attack.

Storm seemed to be frightened. He stood motionless.

It's just that the color of his skin turned into a moist white like clay at some point.

No dodge, no defense.

The peacock's long whip struck Storm's body accurately.

But it was like being hit with a puddle of ooze.

A dull sound echoed around.

puff--

"What?!"

Peacock's eyes instantly shrank a bit.

From the closest position, she could clearly see that Storm's left arm was almost severed by the whip.

But it's quite weird.

The "wound" where he was hit by the long whip was not filled with bright red blood.

But white clay!

A steady stream of white clay spurted out from Storm's "wound", like a gurgling fountain.

This spring-like white clay kept surging on Storm's body, and his body also grew crazily and expanded.

A few breaths.

Storm's height exceeded six meters, as if he had transformed into a giant.

The next moment.

Storm's right hand brushed across his chin, and the crescent-shaped white beard that curved upward took shape.

Clay fruit? ×!

Figure fruit? √!

After the "transformation", Storm let out a strange and deep laugh.

"Gu la la la..."

Without waiting for the peacock to react.

The "headquarters elites" watching the battle were the first to burst into ghostly howls.

"Whitebeard!"

"The strongest man in the world!"

"Whitebeard has invaded the Navy Headquarters!"
