Who made him the Pirate King?.

Chapter 387 The new ability of the nine-star [Clay Fruit]!
Nine-star [Clay Fruit]!
Storm closed his eyes and silently released the power of the [Clay Fruit], experiencing the power of the nine-star devil fruit firsthand.

A cloud of flames that looked like white flames flew out from the void. It surrounded Storm and "ignited" his body directly like lighting a lamp.

Starting from the white flame cloud, Storm's clothes and hair were instantly dyed the same smooth white color as the flame cloud. Mysterious and profound spiral patterns appeared on the ends of his hair and the corners of his clothes, adding a peculiar temperament.

"This seems to be... the same 'Clay Nika' form as before?"

Storm opened his eyes slowly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

When he upgraded the [Clay Fruit] to eight stars by adding points to it.

He directly obtained this extremely special "Clay Nikah" form.

In the "Clay Nika" form - to be more precise, when fully unleashing the eight-star power of the [Clay Fruit].

Storm has the magical ability to manipulate all non-living things, even living things, at will!

Clay transforms life!
This is the most magical power brought by the eight-star [Clay Fruit].

Storm also used this power to perform some trivial "body modifications" on Crocodile and Hawkeye.

The eight-star [Clay Fruit] is so powerful.

Storm originally thought that after the [Clay Fruit] was upgraded to nine stars, it would gain another extraordinary ability.

He could also feel the change in the power of the [Clay Fruit] at this time, but he had no way to describe this special feeling.

"Since I can't figure it out by myself, I'll find a sparring partner!"

Storm maintained his current form of "Clay Nika" and whispered a name.

"Tikki."

Boom——

In a flash of lightning, the burly figure of Whitebeard II appeared in front of Storm.

"Master Captain."

After Storm's repeated instructions, these "Clay Homies" he created with the help of the [Soul-Soul Fruit] all called him "Captain".

Even in private, this title will not change.

of course.

If it is in his heart, all the names that Homies calls Storm are still the same——

My dear father!

Whitebeard II is no exception.

It's just that "Father" doesn't seem to like this title...

So Whitebeard II was willing to listen to his father and call him "Captain".

"Teachie... um."

Storm waved his hand, just about to ask Whitebeard II to accompany him to adapt to the nine-star [Clay Fruit] ability for a while.

But when the words came to his lips, he reacted in time.

In addition to training their abilities, he originally needed to give Whitebeard II and the rest of the Dawn Pirates a major "version update".

"Let me change your body first!"

Storm does what he says.

Storm is already very familiar with the manufacturing process of "Clay Homies".

He simply waved his hand and created a brand new body for Whitebeard II.

Nine-star clay body!

Be it strength or speed, all are maintained at the nine-star clay body!
As for "endurance"?
No one would worry about the endurance of "clay", right?
As early as the moment Storm obtained the [Clay Fruit], he already understood one thing.

In a sense, all the "clay creatures" he created are genuine "immortals"!
Whether it's cutting off the head, or smashing the heart, or even shattering the body...

Don't be afraid of clay creatures!
A nine-star clay body, a seven-star [Thunder Fruit], this is the present-day Whitebeard II.

Storm waved to Whitebeard II.

"Teach, come, exercise with me."

"Yes, Captain."

Whitebeard II did not hesitate at all, immediately accepted the order and attacked.

There was a flash of lightning on the nameless island.

With the speed boost from the Thunder Fruit, Whitebeard II burst out at such an extreme speed that even Storm couldn't react in time.

This is a super speed that surpasses the normal Storm!

However, Storm's [Observation Haki] that can "predict the future" is not just for show.

A clay shield instantly flew out from the void and directly blocked the left side of Storm's body.

Almost at the moment the clay shield took shape.

Whitebeard II's right leg, which was wrapped in dazzling lightning, lashed out like a whip, hard and fast.

boom!
Whitebeard II's right leg hit the clay shield hard, causing the surface of the latter to tremble slightly, but he still caught it steadily.

A nine-star “clay shield” vs a nine-star “clay doll”.

The first collision was a evenly matched fight.

At this moment, the clay shield suddenly turned into a palm, and quickly and accurately grasped Whitebeard II's right ankle.

Upon seeing this, Whitebeard II resolutely and decisively activated the power of the Thunder Fruit.

Endless lightning burst out from his body, instantly turning him into a shining "lightning man".

"Discharge: 100 million volts!"

Under the bombardment of this high-energy, high-pressure lightning, any target that attempts to come into close contact with Whitebeard II will suffer a crazy blow from the lightning.

Storm's palm was naturally the first to be hit, becoming the target of countless lightning attacks.

But if you look closely, you will find that Storm's hand holding Whitebeard II's ankle is still in a very stable position.

Not only that.

The lightning released by Whitebeard II was following the will of this "God of Thunder" and continuously bombarding the "devil's claw" that restricted his mobility.

however.

Any lightning that tried to approach Storm's palm seemed to be trapped in some strange "vicious circle" at this moment.

The silver-white electric arc, which should have been sharp and powerful, suddenly slowed down its attack speed.

Storm released his grip on Whitebeard II's ankle and turned to "grab" the lightning that was supposed to be untouchable.

An amazing scene happened.

The lightning arc that should have been fleeting was like a docile white thread in Storm's hand, and he grasped it easily.

This scene was seen by Whitebeard II, and the extremely arrogant Clay Homies couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"what is this?"

"This is my 'new ability', Teach."

Storm played with the lightning in his hand with an interested expression on his face.

He kept rubbing the lightning, just like rubbing the white lines, and forcibly rubbed the "white lines" into a "white ball".

However, the surface of this "white ball" still emits dazzling lightning.

Obviously its essence has not changed.

This is still a "thunderball".

A real "ball lightning"!
Storm threw the "white ball" in his hand towards Whitebeard II.

Whitebeard II also knew the nature of this thing, so he just stood there, motionless.

The moment this "white ball" touched Whitebeard II's body, the lightning contained in the ball burst out, completely submerging the target in the lightning.

Rumbling--

A deafening roar suddenly sounded on the nameless island.

When the lightning dissipated, Whitebeard II appeared in front of Storm without any harm.

As a "thunder man" who has eaten the [Thunder Fruit], how could Whitebeard II be harmed by lightning?

but.

Storm's expression still looked very excited.

He has already realized what the "new ability" brought by the nine-star [Clay Fruit] is!

At first, the [Clay Fruit] could only create and control clay.

Once [awakened], [Clay Fruit] can affect the surrounding natural environment.

After the eighth star level, the influence range of the [Clay Fruit]'s ability is expanded to include living things.

And when the level of [Clay Fruit] reaches nine stars.

Even the illusory "energy" has become the object of influence and manipulation of the [Clay Fruit]!
Storm conducted another careful experiment with Whitebeard II.

Results prove.

[Thunder Fruit] has become a real "plaything" in Storm's hands.

All the lightning moves unleashed by Whitebeard II - except for the physical skills that incorporate lightning, Storm can directly "control" them through the ability of the [Clay Fruit]!
From matter to energy.

This power is under my control!
After Whitebeard II.

Storm called Red Dragon Emperor, Natsu, Joan, and Ichi over one after another.

Experimental proof.

Whether it's the Red Dragon Emperor's "Hot Breath" and "Bad Wind", or Natsu's "Fire Dragon Roar", or Joan's "Sea Bubbles" and Iggy's "Bottomless Swamp"...

All tangible energy can be interfered with and controlled by Storm's [Clay Fruit].

But it looks like the [Floating Fruit] of Golden Lion II...

This invisible and intangible "superpower" is not within the scope of Storm's [Clay Fruit].

"It's a bit idealistic... But isn't this the characteristic of the devil fruit?"

Storm was very satisfied with the new ability of the nine-star [Clay Fruit].

And at this time.

The Dawn Pirates have also counted the "treasures" on the World Government's warship.

Because he wanted to "seduce" the Beasts Pirates.

The treasures prepared by the World Government are basically things that meet the needs of the Beasts Pirates.

I won’t even mention guns, weapons, ammunition… and so on.

The most important treasures prepared by the World Government are still a few devil fruits.

What makes Storm feel very regretful is that all the devil fruits prepared by the World Government are animal-type devil fruits.

Ordinary kind...not really.

After all, the Beasts Pirates don't really like ordinary animal-type devil fruits.

The fruits prepared by the World Government are basically of animal and ancient species.

There is only one mythical beast species.
