[Moonlight Trophy: Kizaru Borsalino]

【Tournament Star Rating: ★★★★★★★★】 (Eight stars)

As Storm gazed at the grand trophy in the void, which shone with a moonlit white hue, his brow furrowed involuntarily.

"Kizaru... what on earth is he doing?"

Storm glanced at the Golden Lion II beside him, then at the Whitebeard II.

He knew that Whitebeard II's "Hundredfold Lightning Kick" was very powerful.

After all, it was actually Storm who kicked that ball...

But no matter what...

The fact that Storm kicked a naval admiral so hard that he completely incapacitated him...

That's a bit too much.

"Falling into the sea, being restrained by the seawater, and completely losing the ability to fight... that's barely plausible."

Storm considered things from Kizaru's perspective for a moment, but still couldn't reach a conclusion.

"But Kizaru is a user of the [Glint-Glint Fruit]!"

Storm didn't believe that Kizaru would have been completely defenseless in that situation.

Because of what happened in the Infinite Hell before.

Golden Lion II also unleashed a "Hundredfold Sword Master Slash" at Kizaru.

But back then, even if Kizaru was sent flying backwards, he could still freely control his body and dodge in a flash of light...

After much deliberation, Storm could only come to one conclusion—

Kizaru doesn't want to fight him right now!

"Is it really necessary?"

Storm glanced at Whitebeard II, then at Golden Lion II.

"Aren't they just two ordinary rookie pirates?"

Storm shook his head and released his Clay-Clay Fruit ability, collecting the clay figurines of King Shiki II and King Whitebeard II.

He put the matter of Kizaru out of his mind and turned his gaze to the dreamlike and beautiful [Radiant Moon Cup].

An eight-star grand prize trophy!

This is the first time Storm has won a trophy of this caliber.

Regardless of what Kizaru is thinking.

This eight-star trophy now belongs to Storm!

And it will soon become part of his power!

The reason Storm chose to come to Impel Down.

It's because he's still thinking about the other great pirates in Infinite Hell that he didn't have time to wipe out last time!

Based on the examples of Katerina Deppon, Basque Jote, and San Juan Wolf.

The great pirate that Storm failed to kill last time was at least a six-star level!

However, considering his current strength, Storm set his sights on Patrick Redfield, the Lone Red, as soon as he entered Infinite Hell.

Storm's original plan was to deal with the Lone Red first, then the Demon Heir, and then clean up the other "minor monsters" in the Infinite Hell.

But what I didn't expect was that Kizaru would arrive so quickly this time!

The last time Strom fought against the Five Elders, Marcus Mazsan.

Even Kizaru's rescue speed wasn't this fast.

This time, before Storm could even deal with Lone Red, Kizaru had already arrived at Infinite Hell.

Truly worthy of the name "Yellow Flash"!

but.

Storm still managed to hunt down a regular Grand Prix trophy from Lone Red.

Although he didn't have time to deal with the Devil's heir, he still fought with Kizaru and won the Admiral's Eight-Star Grand Prix.

Round down to the nearest whole number.

Storm only lost out to a few "minor monsters"—that is, the relatively ordinary great pirates in the Infinite Hell.

Things like a tyrannical king, a giant wine barrel, a colossal battleship...

A small loss is not a real loss.

"Oh, right, I also have another six-star grand prize trophy here!"

Storm summoned a Diamond Trophy, a high-ranking trophy he had won by defeating Magellan twice.

His main abilities have all reached the seven-star level.

The six-star Diamond Trophy can only be upgraded to skills and abilities such as Six Styles and Swordsmanship.

Without hesitation, Storm abandoned the idea.

He doesn't have high requirements for swordsmanship or the Six Styles.

Six-star rating, that's enough.

"As expected, this diamond trophy is still meant for 'making a wish'!"

Storm made up his mind to use the six-star trophy to make a wish.

A moment later.

Another brand-new [Demon Ring - Imitation] appeared in Storm's palm.

Storm skillfully put on the [Devil Ring], and at the same time, he reabsorbed the power of the [Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit] that had been removed earlier into this [Devil Ring Imitation].

The Awakened-level Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit has officially returned!

Storm raised his right hand, revealing five fingers adorned with numerous [Demon Rings].

An eight-star Clay Fruit!

Six-star level [Momo-Mo Fruit], [Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit], [Rumble-Rumble Fruit], [Float-Float Fruit]!

"Five [Devil Rings]!"

Storm flexed his fingers and then sensed the powers of the five completely different Devil Fruits in turn, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

"But there's another hand..."

Storm raised his empty left hand and shook his head with a hint of regret.

Then, he summoned Kizaru's eight-star Grand Prix Cup.

Storm has already figured out how to use this grand prize trophy.

"It must be added to the [Physique] attribute!"

Using the [Float-Float Fruit], Storm piloted several naval warships back to the Sky Garden, ten thousand meters above the ground.

Along with him, a large mass of seawater and several sea kings from the Calm Zone returned to the sky.

Sky Garden.

A vast amount of seawater surrounds the entire island at its center, and sea monsters swim constantly in the water, adding a lot of life to this somewhat desolate island.

Storm looked at the sea monsters in the seawater, and instantly drew his [Iron Ore Saber]. He scaled and skinned the sea monsters, and soon put them on the barbecue grill.

While Storm was enjoying the sea king's roasted meat, he directly invested the [Radiant Moon Trophy] into his [Endurance] attribute.

[Endurance: ★★★★★★★★] (Eight stars)

"Imperial City is a great place, I'll come back often!"

……

Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

As Zhan Guo looked at the hastily produced World Economic Daily newspaper in front of him, veins bulged on his forehead.

The world's largest prison collapsed! The culprit was...!

The contents of this breaking news report are truly shocking.

Judging from the pictures alone, the vast seawater almost completely submerged Impel Down.

This prison, which was once called the "world's number one," seems to be turning into an "underwater prison."

"Morgans, you big news bird, what exactly are you reporting?!"

Sengoku picked up the Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) from the side, but not to contact the World Economic News.

Instead, they decided to figure out the problem before the Five Elders called to scold them.

Impel Down, Level 1 at sea, former warden's office.

Kizaru, his body wrapped in bandages, was leisurely enjoying the food prepared by the chefs of Impel Down.

Just then, a shrill telephone ring broke the tranquility of the office.

Bru bru...

Kizaru put down his chopsticks, glanced around, and then raised his right hand to activate the black Den Den Mushi he wore on his right wrist.

"Moshi moshi~ Why is no one talking~ That's really strange~"

Kizaru casually fiddled with the black Den Den Mushi he wore on his wrist.

The black Den Den Mushi twisted its soft body a few times as he moved.

It's a wiretapping Den Den Mushi, not an ordinary Den Den Mushi, so it won't receive communication signals from other Den Den Mushi!

But Kizaru was still poking at the black Den Den Mushi intermittently.

In defiance of this boring human navy, the black Den Den Mushi strained its eyes to signal Kizaru—

In reality, the black Den Den Mushi used its antenna-like eyes to signal to the ordinary Den Den Mushi that was still ringing frantically on the other side.

Bru bru...

Kizaru waited listlessly for several minutes, while the Den Den Mushi continued to ring.

His gaze was forced to shift from the black Den Den Mushi to the communication Den Den Mushi on the other side.

Kizaru stared intently at the Den Den Mushi.

One second passed, two seconds passed... half a minute passed.

The Den Den Mushi's ringtone kept echoing in the office like a curse.

"Such terrifying perseverance..."

Kizaru grimaced and reluctantly answered the Den Den Mushi.

In an instant.

The question from the Marshal of Headquarters echoed continuously in the office.

"Borsalino! What have you been protecting?!"

The Den Den Mushi vividly portrayed the angry expression of the Sengoku period.

His eyes were wide open in anger, his nostrils flared, and he was breathing heavily and terrifyingly.

"An angry Sengoku period marshal is truly terrifying~"

Kizaru sighed, leaning back in his office chair with utter despair, his dead fish eyes staring blankly at the Den Den Mushi that was constantly transmitting.

"The news from the World Economic Journal has already reached Naval Headquarters!"

"The government leadership must have already received news about Impel Down!"

"Didn't I send you to guard Impel Down? Has Impel Down really been destroyed?"

"What have you been protecting, Kizaru?! Speak up!!!"

Kizaru extended his right pinky finger, using the [Life Return] ability to make his nail grow a little longer.

He picked at his ear with his little finger and said absentmindedly.

"Marshal of the Warring States, it feels like my ears are blocked~ I can't hear what people are saying~"

"Borsalino—"

Sengoku's blood boiled, his expression contorted, his face flushed red; the "Buddha Sengoku" was almost turning into the "Demon Sengoku."

What exactly is happening at Impel Down?

"Excellent!"

Kizaru finally mustered his spirits and answered seriously.

"Aside from a group of '5.5-story' prisoners who successfully escaped, there were no other losses."

"Well, if we don't count the economic losses."

"5.5 floors? What's that?"

The Warring States period was completely stunned.

"What's that? Doesn't Impel Down only have six levels?"

"Magellan and his team haven't figured out the situation yet either."

Kizaru explained calmly.

"It's probably a special space created by some criminal using their abilities..."

"But there are no prisoners inside now."

"Imperial City... What on earth are Magellan and the others doing?"

The Warring States period found it utterly absurd.

"A new floor was right there, and they just didn't notice?"

"I wouldn't know that~"

"Kizaru said."

"However, Magellan has already submitted an application to the government, stating that he is willing to take full responsibility for this incident and is willing to commit seppuku as an atonement."

Another seppuku...

Sengoku's eyelids twitched.

When Storm escaped last time, Magellan said he would commit seppuku.

This time, when the Golden Lion attacked, Magellan again said he would commit seppuku.

Does this warden of Impel Down have some peculiar obsession with seppuku?

"Don't let him do anything foolish..."

The Warring States period offered a feeble attempt to dissuade him.

"I will explain to the government, after all, this enemy is different from the past..."

"Speaking of which, what exactly is the Golden Lion all about?"

"Borsalino, why didn't you take him down?"

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, do you even know who I'm facing?"

Kizaru finally lost his temper and said indignantly.

"Golden Lion II, Whitebeard II!"

"The two pirates have joined forces."

"You want me to fight? How am I supposed to fight?!"
