Who made him the Pirate King?.

Chapter 248 Don’t you have a boat?

After a first meeting that completely challenged Luo's worldview.

Under Storm's leadership, a simple yet sumptuous banquet was held in the sky courtyard.

This is also an old tradition of the Storm Pirates.

Whenever a new member joins the group, Storm will call on everyone to hold a "team-building" activity.

The most basic form of pirate team-building activities is - holding a party!

The atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious.

The relationship between the other members of the Storm Pirates, Law, and Bepo quickly grew closer.

Everyone gradually understood Luo's general situation.

"Are you also a member of the 'D Clan'? There is also a 'D Clan' in our pirate group!"

"Pirate Captain? Who isn't? Everyone here has a pirate crew!"

"These are the captain's rules! The captain said that the future of the Storm Pirates is the 'Storm Grand Fleet'! What is the name of your pirate group?"

"The Heart Pirates? Hahahaha! We just happen to have a 'Spade Pirates' right here!"

"Hearts and spades? They're just like the suits on a deck of cards! Too bad we don't have diamonds and clubs here."

Everyone enjoyed the banquet and talked loudly.

As everyone got to know Luo better, they realized that—

This new "ship doctor" seems to have many similar characteristics to Ace.

And at this time.

Law is also constantly improving his understanding of the "Storm Pirates".

Based on Law's initial impression, the "Storm Pirates" is a very young and energetic pirate group.

Including the skeleton he had seen before - Brook.

Although Brook's "bone age" is very old, his mentality is very young and he has a lot of musical skills.

The Storm Pirates are such an interesting pirate group...

Luo thought so in his heart.

Just when everyone was enjoying the banquet.

Robin quietly walked up to Storm and reported to him in a low voice.

"Captain, Dr. Judge contacted me earlier and said that the 'Germa Auction' is about to be held, and this auction is still lacking a 'finale auction item' that is heavy enough."

Robin didn't elaborate on the so-called "heavy auction item", but her meaning couldn't be simpler -

Devil Fruit!

To be precise, it was the "special bait" that Storm had Vinsmoke Judge throw into the North Sea - the [Fruit of Silence].

but.

[Fruit of Silence] has been given to Luo by Storm.

There was no way Storm would take the [Fruit of Silence] back from Law just because of Vinsmoke Judge's words.

"That Dr. Judge."

Storm pondered for a moment and then asked.

"How has he been doing lately?"

"Always very cooperative."

Robin chuckled softly.

"And according to my secret observation, Dr. Judge has not done anything tricky."

Due to special childhood experiences.

Robin has a very deep understanding of words like "betrayal" and "betrayal".

During the time that she was "borrowing" from the Germa Kingdom, Robin's daily routine, apart from reading and entertaining herself, was to monitor the movements of the Vinsmoke family.

Robin's [Flower-Flower Fruit] is quite good at gathering intelligence - all thanks to her good development.

Under the long-term observation of Robin, a very outstanding intelligence officer.

There is almost nothing in the Kingdom of Germa that can escape her "eyes and ears".

To be fair.

In Robin's opinion.

It is quite difficult for Vinsmoke Judge, the king of a member country of the World Government, to "take care" of these pirates.

"He's a good man."

Storm sneered. He was never afraid to assume the worst of Vinsmoke Judge.

But no matter whether the other party is sincere or fake.

As long as Judge can honestly cooperate with Storm's requirements.

Well, at least until Bonnie's "Jade Scale" disease is cured.

Storm would never do anything to Vinsmoke Judge.

He stretched out his right hand, reached out to Ichi beside him, and took out a treasure chest from the body of the big black dog.

"This contains a devil fruit."

Storm opened the treasure chest and showed Robin the secret treasure of the sea inside.

“The Animal-type [Blunt-Tailed Lizard Fruit], when you have time later, give it to Vinsmoke Judge!

"This [Blunt-tailed Gila Fruit] can be regarded as the 'rent' we pay for staying in the Germa Kingdom for a long time!"

Storm gave the [Fruit of Silence] to Law, but he also had many other devil fruits in his hands.

Considering that Jiazhi has been so actively cooperating.

Storm wouldn't mind using an animal-type devil fruit to appease this "Germa 66's strange bird".

Furthermore.

[Blunt-tailed Lizard Fruit] is just an ordinary animal-type devil fruit.

Even if this kind of devil fruit was placed in Storm's private treasury, he felt that it took up space!

"That's very generous of you, Captain."

Robin took the treasure chest containing the [Blunt-tailed Gila Fruit] and carefully put it away.

"I will give this devil fruit to Professor Judge later."

"Ah."

Storm nodded slightly and then spoke.

"Let's enjoy the party first!"

Happy banquet times are always short.

It seemed like just a blink of an eye, and the banquet in the sky courtyard came to an end.

On the sea, banquets are the best way to bring pirates closer together.

It only takes a banquet.

Luo then began to integrate into the Storm Pirates.

The attitudes of several male members towards him were not as "gentle" as before.

"I'm really enviable, kid!" Kidd had just drunk a lot of wine, and his face was almost redder than his hair.

"There's actually a ship! It's a ship! Damn it!"

"Don't call me 'boy'! You 'kid'!"

Luo didn't mind Kidd's sharp attitude at all, he just showed him his right middle finger.

"Didn't we just tell each other our ages? I'm older than you!"

"Everyone has to grow up sometime!"

Ace was also waving a big bone stick at the side and said with a little envy.

"But now you have a ship! And it's a submarine! That sounds cool!"

"Isn't it just a boat..."

Law was somewhat confused about Ace and Kidd's attitudes.

"Don't you have a ship? You are also a 'Pirate Captain'!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it seemed to hit the sore spot of Ace and Kidd.

Brooke's strange laughter came from the side.

"Yohohoho! Luo."

Brooke laughed strangely.

"Although I once had a ship, I don't have one now! Not only me, but the entire fleet doesn't have a single ship!
"Come to think of it, your 'Polar Diver' should be the first pirate ship of our 'Storm Fleet'!"

Hearing this, Luo was stunned on the spot.

No, without any ships, how can you still call yourself a “big fleet”?

What kind of pirate is it without a ship?!
"Don't listen to Brooke's bullshit!"

Storm finally couldn't help but intervene in the topic, he emphasized seriously.

"How can a pirate ship be so inconvenient? Look at this 'Sky Garden' under your feet! It is the 'main ship' of our Storm Pirates!"

"That's a very cunning statement, Captain!"

"The Sky Courtyard can fly, but can it sail?"

"There shouldn't be any pirate group in the world that uses an 'island' as a ship, right?"

Amidst all the condemnation, Perona's laughter seemed so special.

"Hahaha! What a bunch of ignorant fellows! Why can't an island be used as a ship?"

Perona took the initiative to talk about her previous pirate group.

"The Thriller Bark Pirates! This pirate group uses the Thriller Bark as their pirate ship!"

The Thriller Barque is located in the Devil's Triangle, one of the restricted areas of the Grand Route.

Most of the people present had never been to the Grand Line, let alone knew what the "Thriller Bark" was.

Only Robin and Brook expressed their support for Perona's statement.

Just when everyone was discussing the topic of "Pirate Group".

Storm couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He himself does not have a high demand for the existence of a "pirate ship".

First up is the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Then there are floating islands.

There are so many ways for Storm to cross the sea.

But he can fly, but the other crew members can't...

"Build a pirate ship? Or... just rob a pirate ship? Running a warship seems to be a good idea too..."

Storm buried some dangerous thoughts deep in his heart.

The banquet was over and everyone was satisfied with the meal and the wine.

Storm timely raised the "challenge" that Luo had mentioned earlier.

"Our 'ship doctor' wants to see my strength."

Storm looked around and said calmly.

"Besides Luo, is there anyone else who wants to join us for fun?"

As soon as these words came out.

The members of the Storm Pirates immediately looked at Law.

"Challenging the Captain? Are you serious?"

"I originally thought that 'Ship Doctor' was a very weak profession, but Luo, you have completely overturned my perception!"

"Luo, you are the real hero!"

"Count me in!"

"Count me in!"

Ace, Kidd and Kira were the first to respond to Storm's invitation.

Opportunities to challenge the captain are rare.

"If the captain doesn't mind, I also want to join the battle, yohohoho!"

Brook followed suit and chose to participate in the challenge.

Robin and Perona simply refused to fight.

The latter also grabbed Bepo's ears and dragged the polar bear out of the battle circle.

What surprised Storm was that Nami, who he thought would avoid the battle, actually joined in after hesitating for a while.

Nami took a deep breath and said with a firm look in her eyes.

"I want to challenge the captain too!"

"Hahaha……"

Storm let out a loud laugh, and his body shape kept expanding and changing in this deafening laughter.

An extremely huge red dragon appeared above the sky courtyard.

The Red Dragon Emperor's golden eyes scanned the entire place, and an invisible dragon might permeated the surroundings.

"Then let's all come together!"

There is no worsening feeling, but... it is still very uncomfortable.
