Chapter 235 A Sordid Deal, A Sordid Natural System! (5 chapters, 170,000 words, please subscribe!)

The "Storm Grand Fleet Squad Ranking Plan" was announced.

Storm could clearly notice that everyone's eyes had changed.

Ace, Kid, and Killer exchanged glances, and the latter two subtly joined forces.

Nami and Perona gazed at each other from afar, their eyes meeting in the air, sparks seemingly flying.

Robin and Brook are both "great pirates" with bounties, and given their unique experiences, neither of them is interested in things like "squad ranking".

As for Big Bear and Bonnie...

The father and daughter were still deeply in love, completely oblivious to each other.

Furthermore.

Even if Bonnie is interested in the "Squad Project".

Storm will also forcibly disqualify the other party from participating.

You're just a little kid, so focus on getting better and don't meddle in the adult world!

Ace, Kid, and Killer stared at each other for a while, then inexplicably joined together and looked at Nami and Perona.

Nami's Cloud-Cloud Fruit.

Perona's Ghost Fruit.

Neither of these two Devil Fruit abilities is easy to deal with!

The former is something that makes it impossible for people to hit or touch it.

The latter is someone no one dares to hit!

Perona's "negative ghost" is something you have to experience to know, and it's a recipe for disaster.

Ace, Kid, and Killer all suffered "torture" at the hands of Nami and Perona.

The three guys, who were just excited, suddenly calmed down the moment they saw Nami and Perona, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their feverish brains.

Let alone the chivalrous spirit of "never hitting women".

Even if we really had to fight, we might not be able to win!

"Boss!"

Kidd suddenly turned around and asked Storm.

When will we be divided into squads?

"It will take at least some more time."

Storm nodded slightly and explained.

"The current level of everyone's strength is severely unbalanced, and there are two ability users who are almost invincible from the start."

Hearing Storm say that, Nami couldn't help but chuckle, and Perona also let out a light laugh.

Storm glanced at the two girls and continued.

"Since it's a ranking of strength within the group, I still want to create a fair environment as much as possible."

At this point, Storm added another sentence.

"In addition, I am currently looking for a 'ship's doctor,' but it is not yet certain whether he will be found."

"If that 'ship's doctor' also joins our Storm Pirates, then the number of members participating in the squad ranking battle will increase, possibly to seven squads in the future... or even more."

The "ship's doctor" that Storm refers to is, of course, Trafalgar Law.

Trafalgar Law also has his own pirate crew—the Heart Pirates.

However, within the Heart Pirates...

Aside from Trafalgar Law, who was the captain.

Aside from Bepo, who appears unassuming on the surface but is actually capable of single-handedly tearing apart most of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Storm had virtually no recollection of the other members.

The members of the Storm Pirates are currently unaware of Trafalgar Law's situation and that of the Heart Pirates.

However, people still have a clear understanding of the position of "ship's doctor".

When sailing on the high seas, there are some things that are absolutely unavoidable, and some positions that absolutely need to be filled.

Especially the two professions.

Navigation – corresponding to navigator.

Medical care – corresponding to ship's doctor.

Other positions such as "combatant", "cook" and "shipwright" can be filled even if there are fewer of them.

But navigators and ship's doctors are absolutely essential!

A skilled ship's doctor can safeguard the lifeline of a pirate crew!

Speaking of which...

The Storm Pirates' crew composition is clearly somewhat unreasonable.

There are just too many people in the positions of "navigator" and "combatant".

Nami is a genius navigator.

Robin and Kuma are also very knowledgeable about navigation; both of them are capable of sailing the seas alone.

Perona, relying on the Ghost-Ghost Fruit, can also act as a navigator.

As for the combatants.

Ace, Kid, and Killer are all of them!

After Brook joined, the Storm Pirates gained another "musician".

However, the composition of the pirate crew is still quite unreasonable.

For example, "ship's doctor".

For example, "shipwright".

For example, "chef".

None of the Storm Pirates were there...

Now I hear Storm talking about "ship's doctor".

Although no one knows the identity and strength of the ship's doctor whom Storm has taken a liking to.

But everyone couldn't help but look forward to it.

……

The time for a joyful gathering is always too short.

Storm has another "deal" to rush to.

He did not linger on the giant snail of the Germa Kingdom for long.

Storm briefly met with the members of the Storm Pirates, then learned about their recent situations and enjoyed a lively banquet together.

Then it was time to say goodbye again.

When Storm came, he brought with him a sky garden.

However, when he left, he left the Sky Garden directly in Beihai.

To be precise.

After leaving the Kingdom of Germa, Storm took the Sky Garden directly to Minion Island ahead of schedule and placed it 10,000 meters above the sea near Minion Island.

Because Storm himself needed to leave the North Sea and return to the New World.

Therefore, the power of the Float-Float Fruit can no longer be applied to the Sky Garden—he also doesn't have the strength to float an island across half a world.

Therefore, Storm found a sea of clouds in the waters near Mignon Island and placed the Sky Garden on the white sea in this area.

After all this is done.

Only then did Storm ride the Blue-Eyes White Dragon back to the New World.

[MoMo Fruit - 1000x Speed]!

Storm unhesitatingly applied [Thousand Times Speed] to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

The blue-eyed white dragon left a fleeting white trail in the sky above the North Sea.

Not long after that.

Storm then entered the New World from the North Sea.

And at this time.

The Five Elders also sent over new information.

"Kizaru is waiting on Rischire Island."

Lischiride Island.

After entering the New World from Fishman Island, thousands of meters below the ocean, the pirates faced one of the three initial islands of the New World.

It's not hard to tell from the name of this "initial island".

The island of Riscied is not far from the Red Earth and Mary Geoise.

Storm did not waste any time.

After receiving the message from the Five Elders, he immediately rode the Blue-Eyes White Dragon towards the initial stage of the new world.

After a whirlwind of speed...

Storm rode the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to the island of Rischirid.

Looking down from the air, Risky Red Island appears completely red, as if it were stained with blood, giving off a sense of inexplicable danger.

Storm activated his Observation Haki, sensing the Rischiled Island below from high above and directly detecting Kizaru's presence.

"Huh? Is it just Kizaru alone?"

To Storm's surprise, the only powerful aura on Rischiled Island belonged to Kizaru.

This is quite different from his previous predictions.

Storm had previously assumed that the Five Elders were in such a hurry to make a deal with him because they were eager to take action against him.

If at this time, a large number of ambushes have been planted on Rischiled Island.

Storm wouldn't be surprised at all.

At this time, only Kizaru was on Rischireid Island.

Just as Storm was about to ride the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to the island of Rischirid.

The Kizaru on the island also saw the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the sky.

The admiral transformed into a flash of light, flying directly into the sky and appearing beside Storm.

"Um?"

Kizaru, carrying a suitcase in his left hand, turned to look at Storm. After seeing the latter's face clearly, he couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

"This face, upon closer inspection, is truly terrifying~"

Storm frowned, glared at Kizaru, and retorted defiantly.

"Upon closer inspection, your face also seems somewhat cruel."

"Hehe~"

Kizaru chuckled softly, then stretched out his right hand and gently stroked his stubble a few times.

Two red lights shone deep within his pupils, clearly indicating that he had activated his Observation Haki.

But when Kizaru sensed Storm's presence, he couldn't help but be stunned.

I was stunned for a moment.

"S-Stom..."

Admiral Kizaru, who is known for his emotional stability, actually stuttered a little when he spoke at this moment.

"Are you the Crimson Dragon Emperor?"

Kizaru's Observation Haki allowed him to clearly perceive that the aura emanating from Strom was exactly the same as that of the Red Dragon Emperor!

"Hmm? Admiral Kizaru, you finally noticed?"

Storm raised an eyebrow; it seemed he had encountered another "smart person."

"That's right! I am the Crimson Dragon Emperor!"

Storm's candor made Kizaru somewhat uncertain.

"That's really strange~"

Kizaru stroked his stubble again, looking puzzled.

"Is it really possible for two people on the high seas to look exactly alike and have the same aura?"

"Strom, you're actually a clone of the Crimson Dragon Emperor, aren't you?"

"Clam?"

Storm tilted his head to the side.

Did Kizaru get Alzheimer's from spending too much time with Vegapunk, the greatest scientist in the ocean?

It's a shame that Storm previously thought Kizaru was a "smart guy".

Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be a "super smart person"!

Strom quietly activated the power of the Crimson Dragon Ring, ignited his golden eyes, and directly entered his dragon-human form.

"Look me in the eye, Kizaru!"

"Huh?"

Kizaru looked at Storm, who had transformed into a little red dragon, and suddenly grinned, saying merrily.

"They really are exactly the same!"

"Stom, is your Clay-Clay Fruit ability really that interesting?"

"You and a 'dragon' seem like a perfect match~"

As Kizaru spoke, he picked up the leather suitcase in his left hand.

"Here, the Five Elders asked me to give you two Devil Fruits."

"..."

Seeing Kizaru's nonchalant demeanor, Storm was utterly speechless.

Two red lights shone deep within his golden eyes, and his Observation Haki, capable of "reading people's minds," silently activated, allowing him to directly read Kizaru's inner thoughts.

What left Storm speechless once again was...

This time, the Five Elders did not give Kizaru any additional tasks.

Kizaru's mind was now filled with only one thought—

Get this done quickly! Get back to headquarters immediately! I need a vacation!

Storm did not deactivate his Observation Haki, but silently accepted the suitcase handed to him by Kizaru.

He opened the box, mentally preparing himself for the possibility that "a group of burly men would jump out as soon as he opened it."

But there was no "group of burly men".

The suitcase contained only two strangely shaped Devil Fruits.

The one on the left has a dark brown, mud-like surface covered with arabesque spiral patterns.

The one on the right is square in shape, not like a normal fruit at all, but swirling patterns still cover its entire surface.

Having thoroughly studied the "Devil Fruit Encyclopedia," Storm immediately recognized the names of the two Devil Fruits.

The one on the right is the [Paramecia-type Cube-Cube Fruit]!
