Who made him the Pirate King?.

Chapter 229: The Dragon of the Dawn! The Dawn Pirates! (Fourth update, 1.5 subscriptions required!)

Storm frowned and found that things were not simple.

He thought that Sengoku called Den Den Mushi just to confront him.

At the same time, it was also to announce to him the punishment results of the "First Battle of Marineford".

For example, depriving him of his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, removing him from the position of Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, and expelling him from the Blade Corps...

But from what Storm heard from Zhan Guo, it seemed that the other party had no idea about the situation at all.

Shouldn't it?

Isn't it recorded in the "Devil Fruit Encyclopedia" that after eating the [Human-Human Fruit·Mythical Beast·Great Buddha Form], the eater can gain the same strength, wisdom and spirit as the Buddha.

Buddha, is that what it is?
A wise general, is this what it is?
Storm hesitated for a moment, then asked with a hint of disbelief.

"You...are asking me who the Red Dragon Emperor is?"

"Of course!"

Sengoku responded without hesitation.

"After all, the Red Dragon Emperor looks exactly like you—"

"Wait a minute! Marshal Zhan Guo."

Storm couldn't help but interrupt Zhan Guo.

"Is there a possibility that I am the 'Red Dragon Emperor'?"

"..."

There was a long silence on the Zhan Guo side.

Then, an old and gentle voice sounded in the Den Den Mushi.

"Lieutenant General Storm."

"Is this voice... Granny Crane? No! Vice Admiral Crane?"

Storm was stunned and immediately recognized that it was the voice of Peacock's grandmother.

"Why are you here? Did you hear the conversation between me and Marshal Zhan Guo just now?"

"of course."

Vice Admiral Tsuru replied calmly.

"Any questions?"

"no……"

The corners of Storm's mouth twitched, and he felt very speechless.

"When I joined the Blade Force, Admiral Aokiji once told me that only the admirals of the Navy Headquarters were qualified to know the true identities of the members of the Blade Force."

What Storm meant was that -

Is this how the Navy maintains confidentiality?
Vice Admiral Tsuru answered with an impeccable reason.

“My granddaughter is a peacock.”

Peacock, a member of the Blade Force and a classmate of Storm.

"……okay."

Storm instantly accepted what Vice Admiral Tsuru said, and at the same time changed back to the way he addressed Vice Admiral Tsuru before.

"Grandma Crane, is there any problem?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru asked bluntly.

"You said you were the 'Red Dragon Emperor'?"

Storm replied solemnly.

"Correct!"

"As far as I know, the devil fruit that Aokiji gave you before was the [Clay Fruit]."

"Yes."

"You said you are the 'Red Dragon Emperor', which means that while you have the ability of the [Clay Fruit], you also have the ability of that unknown fruit that looks very much like the [Blue Dragon Fruit]."

"Ah."

"Zhan Guo just said something to me... He said you said before that you were Whitebeard II Edward Teach."

"I did tell him about that."

"But no one in the ocean has ever been able to eat two devil fruits at the same time!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru said with extreme calmness.

"What's more, you mean that you ate the [Clay Fruit], [Thunder Fruit] and an unknown mythical beast-type devil fruit at the same time!
“One person ate three devil fruits at the same time.

"Is this reasonable?"

This time it was Storm's turn to be speechless.

He really wanted to say that he possessed more than just the [Clay Fruit], [Thunder Fruit] and [Artificial Red Dragon Fruit] Devil Fruits at the same time. In fact, he had other Devil Fruit abilities that had not been publicly displayed.

If we include the [Mythical Beast·Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit] which has been completely replaced by the [Artificial·Red Dragon Fruit].

Storm's devil fruit abilities now have reached double digits!
however.

If Storm were to reveal to others that he possessed ten completely different devil fruit powers.

Not to mention others, even he himself felt that this statement was a bit outrageous.

not to mention.

Storm is able to possess a variety of different devil fruit abilities because of the existence of the [Devil Ring].

And the [Devil's Ring] comes from the [Big Trophy].

Storm would never tell anyone else about the existence of the Big Trophy.

This is the stalemate here...

Storm hesitated for a moment and decided to try a roundabout way to save the situation. He asked tentatively.

"Grandma He, maybe I am the special one who can break the rules?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru did not speak.

But Den Den Mushi vividly portrayed her extremely speechless expression and her eyes that were filled with disgust to the point of being disgusted to the extreme.

Vice Admiral Tsuru didn't often look at people like that.

But she often uses this kind of eyes to look at Garp, the monkey king who is always one-track-minded!

In the opinion of Vice Admiral Tsuru.

Storm was able to say such words in front of her.

Not only his face, but even his brain has degenerated to the level of Garp...

"…Alas, Storm, Sengoku still doesn't want to talk to you. He's really tired now."

Vice Admiral He was silent for a while, then he sighed and continued the previous topic.

“The reason why I suggested that he ask you.

"On the one hand, it's because the Sekiryuutei's appearance is indeed the same as yours. Not 'similar', but 'identical'!
"On the other hand, it's because you took the artificial imitation devil fruit that was said to be Kaido's Blue Dragon Fruit on Punk Hazard Island.

"The Sekiryuutei's devil fruit ability is so similar to Kaido's, they are almost made from the same mold. It can even be said that it is stronger than Kaido's Blue Dragon Fruit.

"So your intelligence is really crucial."

Vice Admiral Tsuru did not think of Storm as the Red Dragon Emperor.

The main reason is definitely because of the well-known "iron rule" of the sea:

A person cannot eat two devil fruits at the same time.

Secondly, the Red Dragon Emperor's devil fruit is also a reason.

The person Vice Admiral Tsuru had just contacted in advance was not only Kizaru, but also Vegapunk on Punk Hazard Island.

She specifically asked Vegapunk for a lot of information about the artificial devil fruit.

According to Vegapunk.

The [Artificial Blue Dragon Fruit] that Storm had taken away from Punk Hazard before had great flaws and would never be able to surpass the level of Kaido himself.

Vice Admiral Tsuru also asked Vegapunk.

Could it be that the devil fruit possessed by the Red Dragon Emperor is the [Artificial Blue Dragon Fruit] that Storm took away before?

But Vegapunk guarantees it with his professional qualities as the ocean's number one scientist.

The artificial devil fruit he gave to Storm before was definitely not the devil fruit possessed by the Red Dragon Emperor!
The most crucial point lies in the "color" of the red dragon that the Red Dragon Emperor transformed into!
Vegapunk told Vice Admiral Tsuru with certainty that the color of the [Artificial Blue Dragon Fruit] he created was "pink" rather than "red".

Although Vice Admiral Tsuru felt that this statement was a bit absurd.

The color difference between "pink" and "crimson red" is not that big.

But Vegapunk still sticks to his previous statement.

The Red Dragon Emperor's devil fruit is definitely not the [Artificial Blue Dragon Fruit] he created before.

The iron rule of the sea.

Guarantee from the world's number one scientist.

Due to various factors, Vice Admiral Tsuru completely gave up his suspicion of Storm.

Although she didn't doubt Storm too much...

It's a very simple truth. Storm had previously specifically handed over Pluto Rayleigh to the Navy Headquarters. It was said that there were some other dirty deals behind it...

Now he waited until the Navy was about to execute Pluto Rayleigh, and then jumped out to snatch him from the Navy Headquarters...

Is there something wrong with Storm's brain?

Vice Admiral Tsuru has long known that there are many fools, idiots, idiots, and lunatics on the sea...

But in her opinion, Storm only occasionally went through the "dumb" phase.

Most of the time, this child is still a very reliable and trustworthy child.

Who made Storm grow up almost under the noses of the navy bosses?
Storm had clearly sensed Vice Admiral Tsuru's earnest attitude.

But the more this happened, the more complicated his mood became.

Why does it feel like the self-exposure drama, which is apparently very simple and easy to understand, is becoming more and more complicated?

"All right……"

Storm twitched the corner of his mouth and answered helplessly.

"Grandma Crane, if you want to know anything, just ask. I'll try my best to answer it."

"Storm, I've known for a long time that you're a good kid."

Lieutenant General He threw down a compliment that was free of charge, and then asked directly.

"Is the Sekiryuutei your clone?"

What kind of a weird question is this?!

Storm's eyelids twitched wildly.

"No! He is not a human being!"

"Yes, he is a madman... but he is a powerful madman."

Vice Admiral Tsuru believed this statement for the time being, but she still had some doubts that the Red Dragon Emperor was a clone of Storm.

Brothers are also possible...

all in all.

The Red Dragon Emperor has the same face as Storm, he must be related to Storm!

But listen to Storm's tone.

The Red Dragon Emperor is "not a human"?
Looks more and more like a clone...

Vice Admiral Tsuru suppressed his somewhat scattered thoughts and asked again.

"Regarding the Sekiryuutei's devil fruit ability, do you know what it is?"

After hearing this question, Storm hesitated for a moment, but still did not choose to "betray" Vegapunk.

"That's the [Fish-Fish Fruit·Mythical Beast·Red Dragon Form]."

Storm has a certain covetousness towards Vegapunk, and he really wants to snatch the world's greatest scientist away from the World Government.

If the Navy or the World Government knew that the Red Dragon Emperor's [Red Dragon Fruit] was actually an artificial devil fruit created by Vegapunk...

The World Government will definitely keep a close eye on Vegapunk!
Under strict supervision, Storm didn't care.

But he didn't want Vegapunk to continue adding power to the World Government.

Currently, Vegapunk's various scientific research and the strengthening of the World Government are still within Storm's acceptable range.

It can wait until the future.

[Pacifist], [Seraph], [Green Blood], [Flame of the Virgin]...

It can almost be said that most of the power of the World Government is supported by Vegapunk alone!
Especially [Flame of the Virgin].

According to the information Storm had collected before.

The [Flame of the Virgin] developed by Vegapunk provides sufficient energy for the ancient weapon [Uranus] owned by the World Government.

What effect can an ancient weapon with sufficient energy have?
Just look at the Kingdom of Lulucia.

One shot blast!
As a result, the sea level around the world rose by one meter.

Countless low-lying islands were even completely submerged.

Have to admit.

Vegapunk's "ancient black technology" is indeed outrageous.

Storm doesn't want Vegapunk to provide the World Government with countless [Artificial Pink Dragon Fruits] again.

An eight-year-old kid, after eating the [Artificial Pink Dragon Fruit], can immediately fight against Kaido, the King of Beasts.

When he reaches adulthood, the power of the [Artificial Pink Dragon Fruit] will also "mature".

If thousands of "Kaido the Beast Pink Limited Edition" stood on the side of the World Government...

Just thinking about that scene makes my scalp tingle.

Although Storm felt that his words might not be able to conceal Vegapunk.

But I'll keep it a secret for a while...

Then I heard Lieutenant General He say again.

"...That's the Red Dragon Fruit. It's really similar to Kaido's Blue Dragon Fruit!"

About the Red Dragon Emperor.

These are the only two things Vice Admiral Tsuru wants to know right now.

One identity, one ability.

As for the rest...

"correct."

Vice Admiral He suddenly remembered something else.

"Do you know anything about the Sekiryuutei's pirate group?"

"Pirates?"

Storm thought about it and felt that what Granny Tsuru was talking about was probably the "Second Generation Pirate Group" that he had created before.

at this time.

Vice Admiral He added a few more words.

"That's right, the Sekiryuutei's pirate group, Whitebeard II, Golden Lion II, an unknown flame ability user, and a hidden ability user who can deprive the five senses."

Storm was a little stunned.

Regarding the "fire ability user", he roughly guessed that it was "Natsu".

But who is the "person with the ability to deprive the five senses"?
Are there still people like this in the Second Generation Pirate Group?
Could it be that Granny He is talking about Joan who possesses the [Bubble Ring]?
Storm couldn't be sure for the time being, but he still tried his best to give the Second Generation Pirate Group a decent name.

Previously, they have been calling them "The Second Generation Pirates" or "The Second Generation Pirates", which seems a bit inappropriate.

"…The Dawn Pirates!"

"The Dawn Pirates? Humph! Just pirates..."

Lieutenant General He suddenly snorted coldly.

"By the way, there is one more thing. What is the name of the Red Dragon Emperor?"

Storm replied with a little hesitation: "...Vongola Storm."

"Ugh……"

Vice Admiral Tsuru's tone was warning.

"Storm, be serious."

"Well, his name is Vongola--"

"Storm!"

"Then let's call him Ddraig!"
