Who made him the Pirate King?

Rainy land, rainy feast.

Storm is like a drop of water penetrating the rock, "sneaking" openly into the real base camp of the sand crocodile.

Compared with the magnificent appearance of the Yuyan Pyramid, the interior decoration of the pyramid is no less luxurious.

Strom strolled through the spacious and bright aisles of the Rain Banquet Pyramid.

His eyes flashed with a burning red light, and the [Visual Color Haki] that was activated throughout the process locked firmly on the target.

He was getting closer to the most powerful "voice" in the Yuyan Pyramid.

And when Storm moved towards the target object.

The other party seemed to be aware of his approach, and began to move quickly, constantly changing its position.

‘It’s interesting. Have you noticed my approach? ’

Storm raised his eyes and looked around.

After training in the extreme environment of Impel Down City for a period of time, he was sure to find all the surveillance phone bugs operating around him.

But on the road he just passed, Storm didn't find any surveillance phone bugs.

Some are just a few scattered in the blind spot...

petal?

Storm narrowed his eyes slightly, and a suspect appeared in his mind.

He continued to walk forward, and the "sound" was not far away!

After a few minutes.

Storm had just turned an aisle corner.

Just then.

His eyes briefly met those of someone behind the corner.

The latter was crossing her hands on her chest. The moment she saw Storm, she activated her abilities without hesitation.

"Twirling Flower!"

Without any medium, the power of Devil Fruit comes from the air.

I saw two slender human arms instantly growing on Storm's shoulders.

The two arms entwined and overlapped each other, one on the left and one on the right around Storm's neck.

Storm seemed to be frightened by this sudden change. He froze in place, motionless.

Under the control of the ability user, the two arms suddenly exerted force and twisted in the same direction in tacit agreement.

Click!

It's like picking a ripe red apple from the apple tree.

Storm's head was directly removed by these two arms!

"call……"

The instigator looked at Storm's easily removed head and couldn't help but take a step forward.

"Success?"

"What a pity, it's still a little short."

A ghostly voice sounded behind the ability user.

Storm appeared behind the other party at some point.

He raised his right hand, and white clay surged out, binding the ability user instantly like an octopus tentacle.

Storm's ability is activated so fast that the opponent cannot react in time.

In just the blink of an eye, she became Storm's prisoner.

"Isn't that the ability of [Superman-Flower Fruit] just now?"

Storm's voice sounded again.

“So, you are the ‘Son of the Devil’ with a bounty of 79 million Baileys.

"Nicole Robin?"

After being directly identified by the enemy, Nicole Robin's pupils instantly shrank to a pinprick point.

She didn't know when the other party appeared behind her.

But the person in front whose head was taken off...

Nicole Robin took a closer look.

That man and his head turned into two lumps of clay at some point!

Bang!

Suddenly, a huge force struck.

Nicole Robin felt a pain in her neck, a heavy blow to her carotid sinus, and a strong sense of dizziness that forced her to pass out instantly.

Storm, who was standing behind her, kept the same posture as when he waved the knife just now, letting Nicole Robin fall to the ground.

[Silver Trophy: Nicole Robin]

[Trophy Stars: ★★★]

"Ah la la..."

Storm looked at the unconscious son of the devil on the floor and imitated the mantra of his immediate boss.

"Has Nico Robin now joined the Sand Crocs?"

Storm took out the phone bug from his arms and hesitated whether to call Qing Pheasant.

He knew how complicated emotions Aokiji had towards this "son of the devil".

The reason why Aokiji transformed from a passionate marine who believed in "burning justice" to a wage thief who believed in "lazy justice".

It’s because of the “O’Hara Incident” more than ten years ago!

In the "O'Hara Incident".

Aoki witnessed Akainu shelling the refugee ship that civilians were boarding, and for the first time he had doubts about "justice".

The elite naval vice-admiral who was supposed to be responsible for executing the "O'Hara Demon-Slaying Order" completely failed to act in accordance with the World Government's orders.

After the shelling of the asylum ship.

Aokiji not only protected his friend and Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral Hagwal D. Sauro who was hindering his mission.

And he also let go of the only survivor of the O'Hara incident - Nicole Robin, the son of the devil.

Although in the following ten years.

Ao Pheasant has never appeared in Nico Robin's life.

But Storm knew better.

Aokiji has always been paying close attention to Nico Robin!

"What a twisted relationship..."

Storm hesitated for a moment and finally dialed the phone number.

"Moxi Moxi..."

"Ah! Storm! Why you again?"

Qing Zhi answered the phone, complaining clearly.

"Are you the chief? Or am I the chief? Why do I feel like you are always the one looking for things for me to do?"

"...General Qing Pheasant."

Storm was silent for a moment and directly exposed the other party.

"You're not getting angry, are you?"

"Ah la la..."

The phone bug vividly imitated the little expression of Aokiji looking away.

"You misunderstood. I wasn't sleeping in just now. I was just lying down and thinking about life."

"I'm so envious, 'lazy justice'..."

Storm chatted for a few words and then jumped into the topic.

"General Aokiji, I met Nico Robin!"

"……who?!"

Qing Zhi's eyes, which had been a little blurry just now, suddenly widened.

"Who are you talking about?"

"The only survivor of the O'Hara incident, the son of the devil, a user with [Flower Fruit] ability."

Storm told the relevant information about Nicole Robin one by one.

As if he was not satisfied with just saying this, he raised his fist again and made an attack gesture.

"This son of a devil who is born evil, I will—"

"Wait! Wait!"

Qing Pheasant quickly shouted stop.

As soon as he said this, he instantly realized that his attitude was a little too nervous.

"Ahem! Um, what, Storm! You can't just kill pirates anymore!"

What does caring lead to chaos?

This is called caring and chaos!

Storm said in a faint tone.

"Admiral Aokiji, is there a navy on the sea that doesn't kill pirates?"

"Yes! Teacher Zefa is it!"

Qing Zhi forced his words, and he quickly changed the subject.

"How did you meet Nicole Robin? Did she go to the South China Sea?"

"South China Sea? No."

Storm said.

"It was in the rainlands of Alabasta that I met and arrested Nico Robin."

"Alabasta?"

Qing Zhi frowned and said in confusion.

"Aren't you in the South China Sea? Why are you in the Grand Line again? Is it... the tyrant's [Meat Ball Fruit]?"

"That's right."

Storm brought the conversation back on track.

"The focus now is not the [Meat Ball Fruit], but the 'Devil's Son'!

"General Aokiji, what should I do with Nico Robin?"

The phone bug.

The blue pheasant is in great trouble.

To be honest, since the O'Hara incident, he no longer believed that justice in the Navy was really "justice."

If even the navy that bombards civilians can be called "just", then what are the pirates?

In the view of Qing Pheasant.

O'Hara scholars who break the laws of the world government and secretly study ancient history may not really be guilty.

But even if the scholars are really guilty.

What do their sins have to do with the ordinary people on O'Hara Island?

Again.

What do the sins of scholars have to do with an eight-year-old girl like Nicole Robin?

After the original O'Hara incident ended.

The reason why Qing Pheasant fell into a long period of confusion.

It is because of the "justice" that he believes the navy should have and the "justice" that the navy should have to maintain the rule of the world government.

There is a fierce conflict between the two ideals of "justice"!

And since the moment "Burning Justice" completely transformed into "Lazy Justice".

Aokiji is no longer the vice-admiral who only blindly obeyed the orders of the World Government...

On the original O'Hara Island.

Aoki was able to fake Sauro's death and let Nico Robin run away with his own hands.

It is even more impossible for him to do anything to Nicole Robin now...

"That's it, Storm."

"that's all?"

Storm was confused by Aokiji's answer.

"Just what?"

"That's it."

Aoki continued.

"Nicole Robin, I leave it to you."

"Ah? What do you mean 'leave it to me'? You -"

Storm wanted to say something more.

But the phone caller at Qingzhi had already hung up.

"Hello!?"

Stromto held up the phone bug that had lost its signal and felt very unhappy with Aokiji's blame-shifting behavior.

He looked at Nicole Robin, who was still unconscious, and felt inexplicably as if he had been entrusted by an "old father"...

"Illusion! It must be an illusion!"

Storm shook his head vigorously, throwing away this inexplicable association.

He dialed Aoji's phone number again.

It's a pity that the green chicken seemed to have anticipated Storm's operation in advance and stopped answering the phone!

"Damn it!"

Storm put away the phone bug and looked at Nicole Robin in confusion.

"Leave Nico Robin to me...but she has a boss now!

"That bastard Sand Crocodile, why don't you go home!?"

Just when Storm was talking about Sand Crocodile.

Crocodile had just returned from Rapeseed Port, carrying a large bag of treasure on his shoulders, like an old farmer who had just harvested leeks.

The fully loaded sand crocodile rides the wind and sand and returns directly from the rapeseed port to the rainy land.

But when he entered the rainland and saw his hometown - the Yuyan Pyramid, his expression instantly became confused.

Where is the big golden banana crocodile on the top of the Yuyan Pyramid?

Where did this white dragon come from? ?
