Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 165 The Devil's Triangle! (5 chapters, 160,000 words, please subscribe!)

A trophy appeared in the void.

Upon seeing this, Storm waved his hand, extinguishing the raging flames in front of him.

Over the past few days.

Edward Teach was relentlessly beating (crossed out) – disciplining Weevil.

Meanwhile, Storm on the other side was also busy.

Take advantage of this time.

Storm has digested most of the abilities he had recently upgraded.

This includes [Armament Haki], which has now been upgraded to eight levels!

There's also the seven-star [Flame-Flame Fruit]!

Logia-type Devil Fruits are not beyond potential for further development.

It's just that most people with abilities haven't developed them to a sufficient level...

It's like things like the "Smoke-Smoke Fruit" or the "Snow-Snow Fruit".

Take a simple example.

Crocodile and his Sand-Sand Fruit.

Crocodile has his own unique approach to developing Devil Fruit abilities.

【Sand-Sand Fruit】This Logia-type Devil Fruit, which allows the manipulation of sand, has been developed by Crocodile into a derivative ability that is almost "dried up".

Of course, this "power of dryness" is also formed based on the [Sand Fruit].

However, no one can deny the depth of Crocodile's development beyond the Sand-Sand Fruit!

In comparison.

The Smoke-Smoke Fruit, a Devil Fruit with similar properties and form to the Sand-Sand Fruit, failed to demonstrate any remarkable abilities in Smoker's hands...

Let's get back to the "Flame-Flame Fruit".

Storm's development direction for the [Flame-Flame Fruit] is very clear, which can be summarized in two words:

temperature!

In Storm's understanding, the temperature limit that fire can reach is absolutely incomparable to that of mere magma.

If the temperature of the flame is high enough, the entire world can be set ablaze!

It's like a katana that, once used, can evaporate all the water vapor in the world and forcibly seal off the abilities of a certain ice-type child...

Storm didn't expect the seven-star Flame-Flame Fruit to burn mountains and seas, incinerate the world, or generate any other "supernatural power"...

But the Flame-Flame Fruit shouldn't be countered by other abilities, right?

"The hierarchy of Devil Fruits... tsk!"

Storm shook his head, banishing the distracting thoughts from his mind.

He then turned his gaze to the seven-star trophy offered by Edward Weebull.

Given Weevil's skill level, Storm felt that receiving a seven-star rating was perfectly reasonable.

Although this guy is stupid, he's very strong.

If not.

Weevil wouldn't have received an invitation from the World Government to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and he wouldn't have been able to defeat so many remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Without hesitation, Storm immediately invested the seven-star [Star Cup] into his [Speed] attribute.

Speed: ★★★★★★★☆ (7.5 stars)

"Just one step away from eight stars..."

Storm touched his stomach, and the familiar feeling of hunger surged up again.

"Let's eat first!"

……

Exhausted and unconscious, Weeber was awakened by a rich aroma of food.

The moment he opened his eyes, he began sniffing incessantly, running like a golden retriever to the source of the food aroma.

Boom!

A powerful fist slammed into Weevil's head, and the intense pain instantly jolted him awake.

"Go wash up first, then eat."

"don't want!"

Weeber scratched his head, the temptation of the food making his legs stand still as if nails.

"I'm hungry! I want to eat!"

Storm wouldn't tolerate Weebull.

Boom!

Edward Teach appeared silently and punched Weevil in the head again.

Weebull collapsed to the ground.

Edward Teach dragged Weevil directly to the ocean near Long Ring Island to wash him up before bringing him back with him.

Again.

If a child is disobedient, it's probably because they're asking for trouble; a spanking will do the trick.

After being jolted back to his senses by Edward Teach's "iron fist," Weevil, even after sitting back down next to the mountain of food, didn't clamor for food like before.

Weebull stared at the food in front of him, his mouth practically watering, but he still glanced cautiously at Edward Teach.

"Brother, aren't you going to eat?"

Weebull seems to have fallen into the food chain of the animal kingdom.

If the "eldest brother" doesn't eat, he, as the younger brother, doesn't even dare to open his mouth.

Edward Teach was just a clay figure, so of course he didn't need to eat. He glanced indifferently at Weevil and gave the order directly.

"You can eat now!"

"Thank you, brother!"

Weblton's face lit up with excitement. He grabbed a piece of sea monster roast meat and stuffed it into his mouth, finishing the large piece in just a few bites.

This guy not only inherited the monster's physique, but also its appetite.

With the combined efforts of Storm and Weebull, the mountain of food that had been prepared was completely cleared away.

Weevil lay on the ground, his stomach stuffed full of food, like a giant balloon.

Weibull, who had previously regained her "slim figure", seems to be experiencing a "weight rebound" after this meal.

Storm glanced at Edward Teach beside him.

The latter immediately got up and walked to Weevil's side.

Weeber, who was lying on the ground enjoying the bliss of being well-fed and watered, suddenly felt a shadow loom over him.

"Brother, older brother?"

After several days of unilateral beatings.

Weebull has completely succumbed to Edward Teach's "iron fist".

"Brother" is not as gentle as "mother".

And the older brother's hits hurt much more than the mother's...

Weebull had forgotten what Storm had once told him.

Weebull couldn't understand such a cryptic phrase as "went to the sea."

However, there's Edward Teach, who's like an "older brother."

Weebull doesn’t miss Buckingham Stussy right now.

"Stop lying down, stand up, and keep fighting me."

Edward Teach gave a simple command.

Weebull dared not resist and obediently got up from the ground.

However, this time it was just a "post-meal digestive exercise".

Edward Teach didn't go too far.

During the training process of Weibull.

Storm was also carefully observing the fighting style of this big, clumsy guy.

Their fighting style is straightforward, with virtually no fancy techniques; they fight entirely based on instinct and strength...

"That perfectly matches Weevil's intelligence level!"

Several thoughts flashed through Storm's mind.

Honestly.

Asking Weevil to do something fancy is really putting him in a difficult position.

This guy is suited to those simple, unpretentious fighting styles.

Storm immediately thought of what abilities would suit Weevil.

[Iron block]!

Weevil probably won't be able to master the other moves of the Six Styles.

However, the "Iron Block" that makes you stronger by getting hit is something Weevil could give a try.

Aside from physical skills.

Storm was also considering whether to give Weevil a Devil Fruit.

Weebull is now his subordinate.

As long as you don't run into the real white-bearded Edward Newgate.

Weebull has virtually no chance of rebelling.

Storm is quite confident about this.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

Storm has already come to regard Weeble as his loyal follower!

Since they are supporters of the ironclad.

Then naturally we need to consider the issue of the opponent's strength improving.

However, if you want to improve a person's skill level in a short period of time.

The effects of Devil Fruits are undoubtedly the most immediate!

Storm took into account Webble's personal qualities.

He instantly abandoned all sorts of Paramecia-type Devil Fruits.

As for the natural sciences and the animal sciences...

Both of these are actually quite suitable for Weevil.

Natural-type characters don't require in-depth development; they can make a name for themselves with their basic abilities alone.

Animal-type is even simpler and more direct; they are thick-skinned and tough, and are especially good at "sit-ups".

For a pirate like Weevil... whose "sacred nature remains unchanged".

Storm still felt that the Zoan type was more suitable.

He does possess several Zoan-type Devil Fruits.

There is also one Ancient Species fruit – the Tyrannosaurus Rex Fruit.

However, Storm still felt that these Devil Fruits were a bit "weak".

"Let's wait and see if we can encounter any other top-tier Devil Fruits..."

"If it really suits them, Paramecia-type Devil Fruits aren't out of the question..."

A "post-meal digestion exercise" has come to an end.

Edward Teach then brought Weebull to Storm's side.

"captain."

Weebull glanced at his brother and whispered to Storm.

"captain."

"good."

Storm waved to Weebull, signaling him to follow him.

"We need to leave Changhuan Island now!"

"Oh……"

Weebull obediently followed behind Storm, all the way to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's belly cabin.

Edward Teach gave Weebull his final order.

"Go and rest!"

"Okay, brother!"

Weebull had been wanting to rest for a while.

Upon hearing Edward Teach's words, he immediately fell asleep, not caring where he was.

It only took a few seconds.

The familiar snoring sound once again echoed within the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's body.

"It's good to be young, you can fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow..."

Storm picked at his ear and walked directly to the head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

He had long ago transformed the head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon into a "cockpit," which is also the location of his "captain's cabin."

Storm piloted the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, flapping its wings and soaring away from Long Ring Island.

Target—the Devil's Triangle!

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon flies at an extremely high speed.

It didn't take long to fly from Changhuan Island all the way to the Devil's Triangle.

This is a special sea area filled with mist. The deep fog covers the entire sea, and the density of the fog is enough to block out the sunlight.

From a distance, it looked like a dark, devilish sea.

Storm rode the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, soaring through the sky, surveying the special sea area before him.

Eight-star Observation Haki, infused with the unique electromagnetic induction ability of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, surged from his body, penetrating into the Devil's Triangle ahead and continuing to penetrate deeper.

One "sound" after another was caught by Storm's ears.

Rolling waves, lifeless reefs, sailing ships...

Just then, a clear and melodious piano sound entered Storm's Observation Haki.

Accompanying this was a very familiar piece of music at the beginning.

That's a timeless classic known to countless pirates on the high seas—

Binks' Wine

"Yohohoho, yohohoho..."
