Who made him the Pirate King?.

Chapter 314 [Mythical Beast Species: The Raccoon Fruit]!
Storm soon found a buyer.

"Dr. Vegapunk, how much can you offer for this 'Yellow Monkey'?"

Second Research Institute.

Storm brought the admiral he had just "captured" and went straight to Vegapunk who was counting the debris here.

"……bid?"

Vegapunk didn't quite understand what Storm said.

But when he looked at Kizaru who was trapped in a sea bubble, he took the initiative to reach out his hand and greeted him with a smile.

"Borsalino, you were also captured by the Vongola?"

When being captured by pirates, Vegapunk was able to meet another close friend, and he just felt warm in his heart.

But Kizaru didn't think so, he still insisted.

"I'm not arrested. I just want to take a short vacation. The environment here is pretty good..."

As he spoke, Kizaru seemed to really believe his own nonsense.

The admiral's face or something...

After the failure of the demon-killing order against Storm, that kind of thing no longer existed.

As for admitting defeat to Storm...

This is not the first time that Kizaru has admitted defeat. For some things, you just get used to losing over and over again.

In this case.

Why not take this opportunity to take a long vacation here in Storm?

Kizaru inexplicably felt that this kind of thing was very attractive.

"The natural environment of Punk Hazard Island is very good."

With the help of the special clay sofa, Vegapunk moved to Kizaru's side and poked the huge sea bubble with his finger.

"But you are completely locked up here, right? Like a prisoner... Well, the resilience of this bubble is unexpectedly strong."

Vegapunk's fingers almost poked a deep dent in the sea bubble.

But even so, the sea bubble still showed no signs of bursting.

Obviously, it is extremely resilient.

"Didn't you have breakfast today?"

Kizaru ignored Storm who was standing beside him and urged Vegapunk to increase his strength.

"Please use more force!"

"I'm just an ordinary scientist, not a monster like you."

Vegapunk just tested the toughness of the sea bubble, then retracted his finger and looked at Storm on the side.

"This should be the ability of a devil fruit, right? [Bubble Fruit]? Or some other devil fruit?"

"It is indeed the Bubble Fruit."

Storm nodded and glanced at the lost Kizaru beside him.

"Doctor, you should have considered the price by now, right?"

"Price? What's going on?"

Vegapunk scratched his head and asked.

"What's going on with Borsalino now?"

"You can roughly understand it as the relationship between 'slave-hunting team' and 'slaves'."

Storm said simply.

"It's just that this 'slave' is special. He is a navy admiral."

Kizaru couldn't help but interrupt: "Hey, hey, Vongola Storm! Isn't it too disrespectful for me to say that?"

"Although I still don't quite understand what you mean..."

Vegapunk thought for a moment and took out an apple from his pocket.

"But you probably just want to sell Kizaru for a price, right?"

Kizaru looked at Vegapunk's operation and couldn't help but complain: "An apple? Vegapunk, you! Give me more money! Did you embezzle all the research funds allocated to you by the government?"

Kizaru's complaints did not attract anyone's attention.

"An apple is really too cheap..."

Storm said this, but he still took the apple.

"I heard that Kizaru and you have known each other for many years, and they are your dearest friends and best friends.

"You have to pay more!"

The group began to move towards the third research institute.

Vegapunk said helplessly: "How can I give you money? Oh, by the way, I just found a devil fruit in the Second Research Institute that I haven't used yet. Are you interested?"

"I discovered that devil fruit."

Ichi, who had been silent all this time, spoke in human language at this moment.

"It's none of yours, Vegapunk."

After saying that, Ichi opened his mouth and spit out a devil fruit, presenting it to Storm like a treasure.

"This……"

Storm looked at the devil fruit in front of him and recalled the records in the "Devil Fruit Illustrated Book".

"Is this the [Zoology·Salamander Fruit]?"

"Yes."

Vegapunk nodded.

"This devil fruit should be the research material given to Caesar by the World Government...

"By the way, Caesar is currently researching some kind of biochemical poison. I just destroyed all the research materials and samples. Should that be okay?"

"It's fine, but I have a question."

Storm put away the [Salamander Fruit] and asked casually.

"Doctor, why don't you eliminate Caesar Courant as well?"

Storm had no good feelings towards that scumbag Caesar Courant.

That's a complete mad scientist.

And he is a mad scientist with no moral sense!

If it weren't for Vegapunk's request.

Storm had previously thought about capturing Caesar Kulang and extracting his [Natural Gas Fruit].

Putting aside the user, the expressiveness of the [Gas Fruit] is still good.

At least it is much stronger than the [Smoke Fruit] and [Snow Snow Fruit] which are also nature-type.

After hearing Storm's words, Vegapunk's mouth twitched and he looked at Storm helplessly.

"I think your idea is a bit too extreme..."

No matter what.

Vegapunk and Caesar Courant have known each other for many years.

Even if it is a dog, after living together for decades, two dogs will develop feelings for each other.

What's more, Caesar Courant is not a dog.

Vegapunk is not so cold-blooded as to casually kill a "colleague" he has known for many years.

"Okay!"

Storm nodded casually, and suddenly looked at Zhan Taomaru beside him.

"Hey! Momotaro! What do you want to do?"

Zhan Taomaru, who was holding a big axe and gesturing at the sea bubble that wrapped around Kizaru, shuddered when he heard Storm's words.

"It's not Momotaro! It's Sentomamaru!"

Zhan Taomaru subconsciously put away the axe and answered seriously.

"Besides, I won't tell you that Uncle Kizaru just asked me to rescue him."

Hearing this, Kizaru in the sea bubble held his forehead helplessly.

So many years have passed.

Zhan Taomaru still looks so silly and innocent...

"You want to rescue Kizaru?"

Storm looked at Zhan Taomaru curiously.

“You have to know that once Kizaru comes out, he will run away with Vegapunk.

"Then Vegapunk will be taken back to the World Government and once again become a research tool for the World Government, and his ambitions will never be realized."

"I... can probably guess."

Zhan Taowan replied in a muffled voice.

"The World Government isn't really that nice to Uncle Punk...

"But you're a pirate.

"Compared to pirates, the World Government is more trustworthy, isn't it?"

Storm was left speechless by the simple-minded Zhan Taomaru.

After a long while, he managed to answer reluctantly.

"……you're right!"

Seeing Haku being defeated, Vegapunk and Kizaru laughed at the same time.

The sea bubbles were suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.

Vegapunk laughed for a while, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said meaningfully.

"Zhan Taomaru, the World Government is not as trustworthy as you think, and the pirates in front of us are not necessarily as untrustworthy as you think."

Vegapunk's words are a bit confusing.

Zhan Taowan couldn't figure it out for a while.

However, Kizaru heard the hidden meaning of Vegapunk.

This old friend seems to trust Storm more...

At least Vegapunk didn't object to Storm "kidnapping" him.

But why?

There was a hint of doubt in Kizaru's eyes.

But he didn't ask this question yet.

Vegapunk waved his hand at Momomaru again.

"Zhan Taomaru, go to Research Institute No. 1 and help me get the things in locker No. 7."

"Yes, Uncle Punk."

Zhan Taowan nodded obediently, and then ran towards the No. 1 Research Institute.

When Storm and his team arrived at the Third Research Institute.

Zhan Taomaru ran back with the item that Vegapunk had mentioned before.

It was a small treasure chest.

"Vongola, based on what I've learned about you before, you seem to be very interested in top-level devil fruits."

Vegapunk handed over the treasure chest in his hand without hesitation.

“This devil fruit can be considered a top-level one in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.

“Some time ago, the World Government gave me this Devil Fruit, intending for me to replicate the power of this Devil Fruit.

“But I haven’t had time to use it yet.

"Now, can I trade it to you for Borsalino?"

Storm's eyes narrowed slightly, he reached out to take the treasure chest handed to him by Vegapunk and opened it.

There was a light brown devil fruit quietly placed in the treasure chest, its surface covered with arabesque spiral patterns.

Storm recalled the contents recorded in the "Devil Fruit Encyclopedia" and immediately recognized the name and ability of this devil fruit.

[Animal system·Dog-Dog Fruit·Mythical beast·Raccoon form]!
This is definitely a top-level devil fruit!
The specific ability of this [Mythical Beast Species·Raccoon Fruit] is that it can transform into any other existence at will through the "leaves" it creates, even including living things.

for example.

If Storm eats this [Mythical Beast Species: Tanuki Fruit], he can use the "leaves" he created to directly replicate a "Kizaru" on the spot.

And this "Kizaru" also possesses the ability of the [Pink-Pink Fruit]!

The individual reproduced by the [Mythical Beast Species: Tanuki Fruit] has exactly the same abilities as its prototype!
The most terrifying thing is that there is no limit to the number of copies of the [Tanuki Fruit]!

As long as the user can hold on, he can create an "army of clones".

Storm slapped the sea bubble that trapped Kizaru and broke it.

"This yellow monkey is yours!"
