Chapter 150: News of Edward Weevil!

Chapter 150: News from Edward Weevil! (Fourth update, 17 words, please subscribe!)

Hawkeye Mihawk was spouting nonsense like "I don't trust you."

But in reality, he still obediently moved into the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's "dragon belly cabin".

If Hawkeye Mihawk truly has absolutely no trust in Storm.

So he wouldn't say a single unnecessary word to the other party, and he wouldn't even take the initiative to approach the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

As for this "world's second greatest swordsman".

If Storm says he's not interested, that would be a complete lie.

Hawkeye Mihawk's style of doing things suited him well, and he hadn't heard of the other party committing any unforgivable crimes.

If we could really recruit this "world's second greatest swordsman".

That would be an extremely good thing for Storm.

However, to be fair...

Recruiting Hawkeye Mihawk is indeed a difficult task.

It is known that Hawkeye Mihawk and Red-haired Shanks have a good relationship;

It is also known that Shanks is the fourth Pirate Emperor of the New World.

If recruiting Hawkeye Mihawk is really that easy.

So many years ago, Hawkeye Mihawk would have been recruited by Red-Haired Shanks.

The second-in-command of the Red-Haired Pirates shouldn't be Ben Beckman, but rather this "former" world's greatest swordsman.

Even Storm didn't know much about Hawkeye Mihawk's experiences and personality, only that he was a lone wolf—at least for now.

Let me put it this way.

Hawkeye Mihawk preferred to stay on Klaigana Island and play with the baboons rather than travel with other people.

This gives a glimpse into the eccentric nature of the "former" world's greatest swordsman.

However, Storm has encountered similar people before.

Just like Crocodile, the sand crocodile he's trying to find now.

Old Sha is also a guy who distrusts outsiders to an extreme degree.

But Storm felt that his interactions with Old Sa were quite pleasant... probably.

If they can successfully recruit Hawkeye Mihawk, it will be good news for Storm.

If Strom fails to recruit the "former" world's greatest swordsman, he won't suffer any losses.

Putting Hawkeye Mihawk out of his mind.

Strom sat alone atop the head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, summoning the Blood Diamond Cups he had just won.

This time, he has basically cleared out the Infinite Hell.

It is estimated that it will take several decades for Infinite Hell to return to its previous "glory".

These six Blood Diamond Trophies are probably the last haul Storm can collect from Infinite Hell in the near future.

The Blood Diamond Trophy was handled in the same way as the previous major trophies.

Storm first took out a Blood Diamond Trophy and put it into the [Mythical Zoan Type: Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit] ability, which he had not originally intended to upgrade.

【Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit: ★★★★★★★】(Seven-star rating)

Immediately afterwards, Storm summoned two more Blood Diamond Trophies and placed them into the [Demon Ring - Imitation] and the [Flame-Flame Fruit] respectively.

【Burning Ring: ★★★★★★★】(Seven-star rating)

From this moment on...

Aside from the top-ranking eight-star [Clay Fruit].

The other Devil Fruit abilities that Storm possesses—the Momo-Momo Fruit, the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the Float-Float Fruit, and the Flame-Flame Fruit—are all at the seven-star level!

That concludes the skill point allocation.

Storm admired his "Grand Prize Cup" for a while, then took out a Den Den Mushi.

Since the goal is to go to the East China Sea to find Crocodile.

Of course, it's necessary to find out Crocodile's exact location beforehand.

Are you asking about the navy?

Or should I ask about pirates?

After thinking for a moment, Storm dialed the Den Den Mushi directly.

"Hey, is Old Sha there?"

East China Sea, Golden Island, and surrounding waters.

Crocodile was aboard his Baroque Gustav, frowning as he looked at the Den Den Mushi in front of him.

"White Dragon? What's wrong?"

"I heard you recently went to the East China Sea!"

Storm asked directly.

"Has something interesting happened in the East China Sea?"

Storm knew it very well.

Crocodile has been lying low in Alabasta because he is plotting the Ancient Weapon, Pluton.

Unless something extraordinary happens.

Crocodile would never leave Alabasta without permission.

"Where did you hear that from?"

Crocodile took a puff of his cigar, the rising smoke obscuring his facial expression and the cold, indifferent look he gave the crew around him.

"That's really insightful!"

"Of course I heard it from the Navy."

Storm didn't hide anything and said it directly.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea usually have fixed areas of operation. Since you suddenly left Alabasta, of course someone will be paying attention to your movements."

navy……

This answer was somewhat unexpected for Crocodile, but it was also within the realm of understanding.

However, he still disliked others spying on him.

"You don't need to know what I'm doing!"

"Old Sha, if I don't get an answer from you..."

"Stromb said calmly."

"You'll never find out where that ship is in your lifetime."

That ship?

Crocodile was taken aback, instantly realizing the meaning of Storm's implication.

That ship, of course, refers to the "Extremely Evil Battleship," an ancient weapon named after a "god"—

Pluto, the Lord of the Underworld!

Crocodile has been searching for Hades all these years.

He finally managed to recruit an archaeologist who could read ancient texts.

As it turned out, that woman was seduced away by that bastard Bai Long with just a few words...

Crocodile remembers very clearly that the White Dragon once said:

Pluto, the god of the underworld, has a set of "blueprints" that have been passed down through the ages.

However, Crocodile never received a more detailed answer from the White Dragon.

At this moment, Bai Long suddenly brought up "that ship" again.

Krocdalen couldn't sit still any longer.

Tell me everything you know!

"don't want."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"You don't have enough 'bargaining chips' to get 'intelligence' from me! Crocodile."

"Stromb said calmly."

"If you want to know more about that ship, exchange 'intelligence' with me."

"You know just how valuable this 'intelligence' is."

Information about the specific location of ancient weapons is so valuable that saying it's "priceless" is an insult to its worth; it's practically "invaluable"!

Crocodile remained silent for a long time before finally confessing honestly.

"I am currently in the East China Sea, in a place called 'Golden Island'."

"Golden Island?"

Storm paused for a moment, rummaging through the nooks and crannies of his memory to find information about the island.

"Do you believe in that legend of the 'Gold Thief'?"

Wu Nan, the Gold Thief, is a great pirate from the East China Sea.

According to legend.

Unan collected one-third of the world's gold and stored it on a secret golden island.

Based on what Storm knows...

This is fake news.

Urumqi is indeed a "gold thief".

He did indeed possess a great deal of gold.

However, in his later years, Unan returned all the wealth he had acquired as a pirate, including the gold he owned.

But to be honest...

Even in his later years, Unan did not return the wealth he had acquired as a pirate.

Storm also expressed skepticism about this "Legend of the East Sea".

What does it mean to have "one-third of the world's gold"?

In southern Ukraine, they are called "Gold Thieves".

It's not called "Golden Pirate King"!

Furthermore.

Even contemporary users of the Paramecia-type Gold-Gold Fruit.

Gild Tesoro, the Golden Emperor who has already built the golden behemoth "Grand Tesoro" in the New World.

He probably doesn't even have a third of the world's gold!

The legend of the "gold thief stealing one-third of the world's gold"...

Storm felt that this was a completely fabricated "sea story" based on hearsay.

"How much money could a small-time pirate from the East Blue possibly make in his entire life?"

Crocodile scoffed, equally unimpressed by the so-called "Gold Thief".

"I came to the East China Sea for someone else, someone you told me about before..."

"Whitebeard III, Edward Weevil!"

Edward Weebull?

Storm raised an eyebrow; the name did indeed surprise him somewhat.

"Your men at Baroque Works have discovered Edward Weevil's trail?"

"Yes, this 'Whitebeard III' is currently near Golden Island, but I haven't found his exact location yet."

Having already gone this far, Crocodile had no intention of hiding anything any longer and revealed most of the truth.

"The low-level agents at Baroque Works spotted Edward Weevil, but they couldn't keep the monster at bay, so I came from Alabasta."

Whether it's Edward Newgate with his white beard.

It was Edward Teach, the second Whitebeard.

Or perhaps Edward Weevil III, the Whitebeard.

Crocodile is very interested in any information related to "Whitebeard".

He currently lacks the ability to seek revenge against the real Whitebeard, nor can he find the whereabouts of Whitebeard II, so he can only look for Whitebeard III...

"Golden Island, is it? I see!"

Storm patted the blue-eyed white dragon beneath him, and the dragon's flight speed began to increase dramatically.

"I'm also very interested in that 'Whitebeard III' Edward Weevil, I'm on my way..."

"Oh, by the way, I'll introduce you to a new friend later."

After saying that, Storm hung up the Den Den Mushi immediately.

"Feed? Feed?"

Crocodile held the Den Den Mushi that had lost signal, his brow furrowed into a deep frown.

What exactly does that bastard Bai Long mean?

What does it mean that "he was also very interested in Whitebeard III"?

As for that so-called "new friend," Crocodile completely ignored him.

First, Crocodile doesn't trust anyone else.

Secondly, Crocodile didn't consider that bastard White Dragon to be his friend.
