Who made him the Pirate King?.

Chapter 224 [Overlord Haki], Awakening! (Three more chapters, 1.2k subscriptions required!)

Shampoo Islands, Island No. 12.

A huge red dragon descended upon the island with a loud bang.

Island No. 12 is an outlaw area, and most of the people hanging around on this island are lawless criminals.

But even an outlaw knows what he can and cannot do.

Anyone who has watched the live broadcast of the execution knows very well what the three words "Red Dragon Emperor" mean.

At the moment when the huge red dragon descended on Island No. 12, the living people on the island began to run away screaming and howling, wishing that their parents had given them a few more legs.

"Humph--"

The red dragon snorted and then changed into human form.

Storm didn't have the energy to pay attention to the escaped criminals for the time being. He took Pluto Rayleigh and pushed open the door of a tavern on Island No. 12.

His [Observation Haki] had already sensed Xia Qi's aura a long time ago.

The moment Storm pushed open the door, he saw Xia Qi sitting alone behind the bar, drinking.

Xia Qi felt that she was weak and did not follow the Red Hair Pirates. She just stayed alone in the tavern, silently watching the live broadcast of the execution of Pluto Rayleigh.

When the Red Hair Pirates first appeared, Shaqi felt that Rayleigh must be saved.

When the Red Dragon Emperor knocked Snake Princess unconscious with a swing and kicked Red Hair away, Xia Qi felt like the sky was falling.

Xia Qi had no idea where this "red dragon" with a face exactly like the white dragon came from.

But she just felt that the other party was a lawless devil!

Xia Qi watched the entire live broadcast of the execution, including the last scene transmitted by the Den Den Mushi.

The Pirate Emperor has disappeared and the fate of the Navy Admiral is unknown.

The final winner of the war at the top is only Red Dragon!
With the Red Dragon here, can Rayleigh still survive?
Xia Qi was feeling extremely depressed.

Just then, she heard the door of the tavern being pushed open.

"No treat today—"

Xia Qi turned her head to look at the door of the tavern, and was about to kick the guests out.

But at this moment, she suddenly saw clearly the appearance of two figures standing at the door.

"The Red Dragon Emperor!?"

Xia Qi was suddenly startled, and then instantly delighted.

“Rayleigh?!!!”

Storm directly threw Pluto Rayleigh to Xia Qi.

The latter threw away the bottle in his hand without hesitation, then reached out to catch Rayleigh, who was charred all over and seriously injured and unconscious.

As soon as Xia Qi took Reilly, she started touching him all over.

The body is still warm... the breathing is still normal... the heartbeat is very stable... Great! Still alive!

While Xia Qi was examining Reilly's body, Storm was frowning at the woman.

Red dragon?

Red Dragon Emperor?
Storm could hardly remember how many people had called him that today.

what is the problem?

After Xia Qi checked Reilly's physical condition, she felt relieved for a moment, and then she heard Storm's voice again.

"What does 'Red Dragon Emperor' mean?"

Storm's eyes looked at Xia Qi calmly, with red light surging in the depths of his pupils.

Without waiting for Xia Qi to answer.

Storm's [Observation Haki] that can "read people's minds" began to read the old pirate's brain directly.

After a while.

Storm understood everything.

It's all the fault of Big News Bird Morgause!
Instead of being the editor-in-chief of the World Economic News, he chose to be the host of a live broadcast of Den Den Mushi!
Storm suddenly felt a toothache.

The reason why he did not hesitate to expose his true appearance in this "War of the Top".

It’s because he has prepared himself for his true identity to be completely exposed!
Furthermore.

Even if Storm revealed his identity now, he didn't need to worry about any consequences.

Say a thousand words and ten thousand words.

Storm now possesses nine [Devil Rings], and his [Physique] and [Heroism] attributes have all reached eight stars. His strength can almost be said to be at the top of the pyramid of sea strength.

Excluding Joey Boy and Im from eight hundred years ago.

Storm thought to himself that he was not afraid of any other opponents now!

That being the case.

Why hide any longer?

Furthermore.

At that time, Storm's experimental ability accidentally ran into the Red Earth Continent, and unexpectedly attracted the Five Elder Stars, Marcus Maz and Kizaru.

At that time, he had not yet gone to Punk Hazard, so he could not easily give up his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

That's why he had no choice but to put on the "vest" of Whitebeard II Edward Teach.

But now Storm has gone to Punk Hazard.

The treatment plan for Bonnie's jade scale disease was also perfectly corrected and improved by Vegapunk.

Storm also got the [Artificial Red Dragon Fruit].

The identity of "Seven Warlords of the Sea" no longer has any practical value to Storm.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea have only two main functions.

One is that it is legal to rob.

One is that you don’t have to be wanted.

But how could Storm care about such trivial matters now?
When Storm chose to reveal his true identity, he was already prepared to give up his identity as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

But who can tell her...

Why did he just "self-destruct" and unexpectedly create a "Red Dragon Emperor"?
Does it have to be that Storm has the [Clay Fruit] in his left hand and the [Red Dragon Fruit] in his right hand?

Only then will everyone realize that the "Red Dragon" is actually the "White Dragon"?
"The Red Dragon Emperor..."

Xia Qi was completely unaware that her brain memory had been completely read by someone, and she only answered cautiously.

"It's you..."

Storm took a deep breath. He was not familiar with Xia Qi at all and had no intention of explaining his identity to a stranger. He just said it lightly.

"Where's the 'Devil Fruit' you promised me?"

Devil Fruit?

Xia Qi was slightly startled.

She looked at Storm's face, which was exactly the same as that of the Shichibukai Hakuryuu, and immediately realized something.

Xia Qi immediately ran behind the bar, took out the treasure chest containing the [Wine-Wine Fruit], and handed it to Storm.

Storm took the treasure chest without checking it. He just reached out and picked up Pluto Rayleigh who was standing beside him.

Xia Qi was stunned again.

"Wait! Wait a minute!"

Xia Qi mustered up her courage and spoke to Storm.

"Lord Sekiryuutei! Can you please let Rayleigh go?"

Storm just glanced at Xia Qi coldly, then walked out of this unknown tavern with Rayleigh.

He brought Rayleigh to Island No. 12 just to complete the "deal" between him and Xia Qi and take the agreed devil fruit from Xia Qi.

But letting Rayleigh go?

This is not a deal!

Storm walked out of the tavern, transformed into a giant dragon, and flew into the sky again with Pluto Rayleigh and the [Wine-Wine Fruit].

The huge red dragon flew directly out of the Sabaody Archipelago and headed towards the Sky Garden ten thousand meters above the ground.

Xia Qi looked at the red dragon flying away in the sky, feeling both happy and worried.

She was happy that Rayleigh was still alive for the time being - judging from the attitude of the Red Dragon, the other party did not seem to intend to do anything else to Rayleigh.

But what worries her is also this: Why did the Red Dragon take Rayleigh away? Is it because of his identity? Or is it the "intelligence" in his brain?
Xia Qi felt mixed emotions.

And after the red dragon left for a while.

The Red Hair Pirates, who had suffered heavy losses, also returned to Island No. 12.

Xia Qi looked at the sad and depressed pirates, and her eyes stayed on the leader, the red-haired Shanks. Shanks' condition at this time was definitely not good. There were large pieces of blood on his clothes, and a dark mark like a footprint still remained on his left face. He looked miserable.

"Shaqi...I'm sorry."

Shanks noticed Shaki's gaze and forced a smile.

"I...failed to rescue Mr. Rayleigh."

For a pirate emperor in a new world, admitting his mistakes and failures is undoubtedly a huge challenge.

But Red-Haired Shanks still admitted his failure to Xia Qi very seriously and sincerely.

Xia Qi pursed her lips and did not talk to Shanks and the others about the Red Dragon Emperor's recent visit.

In the Den Den Mushi live broadcast just now, due to the final thunder and tsunami, the ending of the Red Hair Pirates was not made public.

Xia Qi didn't know what happened to the Red Hair Pirates.

But when she saw the heavy atmosphere between Shanks and the others, she thought that the other party was feeling sorry for what happened to Rayleigh.

Xia Qi tried to liven up the atmosphere.

"Anyway, it's over now...would you guys like a drink?"

"Xia Qi."

Shanks twitched the corners of his mouth. He wanted to force a smile again, but found that he couldn't smile at all.

“We… lost a comrade.

"Our sniper, Jesus Bu, is dead."

……

Sky Garden.

Storm transformed into a giant dragon and descended here.

Just like before, he created a humanoid "clay prison device" for Pluto Rayleigh, and then sent Pluto Rayleigh into the depths of the Sky Courtyard.

There, Storm used the power of the [Floating Fruit] to open up a special "sky prison".

For example, Don Quixote Doflamingo, who was captured by him before, was the number one resident of that "Sky Prison"!

Pluto Rayleigh is the second "resident".

After Storm dealt with the two prisoners, he turned his attention to all the "trophies" of the "First Battle of Marineford".

He first opened the treasure chest he had just received from Xia Qi and checked the devil fruit inside.

[Paradox-type Sake-Sake Fruit]!
"It turns out to be Basque Jot's devil fruit!"

After a moment's thought, Storm recognized the name and ability of this devil fruit.

"Is it possible that he was reborn so quickly, and was even found by someone..."

Devil Fruits regenerate very quickly.

However, it takes time and opportunity for people to discover the existence of devil fruits.

If you are lucky, the devil fruit can even regenerate in the same place.

If you are unlucky, a devil fruit may only appear once every few hundred years!
Storm's impression of this [Paradox-type Wine-Wine Fruit] is average.

He doesn't smoke and only drinks a little.

The [Wine Fruit] is a priceless treasure for drunkards.

To Storm, it was just an ordinary parahuman devil fruit.

This [Wine Fruit].

In Storm's eyes, it is almost the same as the [Stone-Stone Fruit] and [Water-Water Fruit].

"Just put it away!"

Storm put the [Sake-Sake Fruit] together with the devil fruits he had harvested before.

He now has a large reserve of devil fruits.

But most of them are the kind of devil fruits that they themselves look down upon.

There are some pretty good abilities though.

For example, the [Snow Snow Fruit].

"The number of devil fruits is a bit too much. The current Storm Pirates can't digest so many devil fruits at all."

Storm glanced at his own devil fruit reserves and thought silently for a moment.

"Let's wait until the 'Storm Fleet' is formed before considering using these devil fruits to strengthen our subordinates!"

Storm counted all of his Devil Fruit reserves, then turned his attention to the [Big Trophy].

[Big Trophy] is the real point.

Storm summoned his own [Big Trophy].

The first thing that caught his eye was the two eight-star [Brilliant Moon Trophies].

[Huiyue Trophy: Marshal·Warring States]

[Brilliant Moon Trophy: Red-haired Shanks]

Below the eight-star trophy are several seven-star [Star Trophies].

[Star Trophy: Snake Princess Boa Hancock]

[Stars Trophy: Laki Lu/Ben Beckman]

It also includes a Death Star trophy.

[Star Trophy: Jesus Cloth]

There are also many six-star trophies.

The six top officers of the Red Hair Pirates, the big news bird Morgans, the vice admiral of the navy...

If you count carefully, there are eight.

What surprised Storm was that there were two special trophies among these big ones.

Their special feature is that -

Storm had no impression of taking action against them at all.

[Star Trophy: Sea Knight Jinbei]

[Star Trophy: Pluto Silverbaz Rayleigh]

"Is this perhaps a case of a fire in the city gate that has affected the innocent people?"

An idea suddenly appeared in Storm's mind.

Sea Knight Jinbe was indeed involved in this execution.

But after the execution, Jinbe had no sense of existence at all.

Now, for some unknown reason, Storm was given a [Star Trophy].

"It's impossible that he was paralyzed by the Ten Thousand Thunders of the Thunder Fruit during that lightning tsunami, right?"

Storm had a vague feeling that he had guessed the truth of the matter.

But now he has no way to confirm it with One Piece Jinbe.

As for Pluto Rayleigh's seven-star star trophy.

Storm also felt that the battle might have affected the opponent, causing him to be defeated.

No matter what, he still accepted these two star trophies with a smile!

The big trophies below six stars were completely ignored by Storm.

Storm looked at the big trophy in the void again.

Two eight-star [Brilliant Moon Trophies].

Six seven-star [Star Trophies].

Eight six-star [Diamond Trophies].

"Fight to support war, nothing more than this!"

Storm took a deep breath and looked at his ability column again.

In the [Heroic] column, a new ability is being displayed—

【Conqueror's Haki: ☆】
