Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 251

After hearing what Storm said.

The tension on Robin's face dissipated at a visible speed.

After all.

"Nico Robin of the Storm Pirates" and "Nico Robin of the Straw Hat Pirates" are not the same person.

Storm also didn't let Robin shout out his life declaration—"I want to live."

Even after joining Storm's team.

Robin's daily life is easy and comfortable, and she basically doesn't need to worry about any troublesome events.

But the tragic life of the past few decades.

It still relentlessly pursues Robin like an unbreakable shadow.

In Robin's heart, she is still the "devil's child" who is not trusted by others or the world!

After the Storm Pirates were formed.

Robin's feeling of "not being trusted" was greatly reduced.

Because among the members of the Storm Pirates, there is a new member named "Portgas D. Ace"!

Which is more important, the "Child of the Devil" or the "Child of the Pirate King"?

Even Robin, as the person involved, could give an answer without hesitation.

However, just now...

Storm directly revealed his identity as "Vice Admiral Hakuryu of the Naval Headquarters".

At that moment, a number of rather terrible thoughts flashed through Robin's mind.

One of the worst of them is—

Did Storm recruit her so that he could one day hand her over to the Navy Headquarters?

However, Robin's terrible ideas quickly vanished without a trace after Storm proved himself right.

Which is more important, the "Child of the Demon" or the "Red Dragon Emperor"?

The answer to this question is even simpler than the answer to the previous question.

The reason why "son of the Pirate King" carries such weight is because he is an extension of the sinful bloodline of the Pirate King Roger.

But what about the "Red Dragon Emperor"?

Robin did not witness the legendary story of the Pirate King Roger, but she did witness the Red Dragon Emperor's actions on the Sabaody Archipelago.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

On the high seas today, the Red Dragon Emperor is probably one of the very few people who are closest to the throne of the Pirate King!

A pirate on the high seas who can be compared to the Red Dragon Emperor.

It's Whitebeard, it's the Beast, it's Big Mom, it's Red Hair...

But he is definitely not the so-called "child of the devil"!

Thinking about this, Robin immediately felt relaxed.

She was very happy with her life in the Storm Pirates, and she certainly didn't want to become the "Captain's" enemy...

"Robin..."

Storm gazed at the Demon Child and spoke in a low, eerie tone.

"Isn't that expression on your face hurting me too much?"

"Feel sorry."

Robin immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

She crossed her arms in front of her chest and released the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit, causing arms to grow on Storm's body to help him massage his shoulders and back and relax his muscles.

"Don't think you can get my forgiveness just like that!"

Storm snorted and said, half-jokingly.

"One day, I will personally hand you over to the Admiral of the Marine Headquarters!"

Storm remembers clearly that he didn't really want Nicole Robin, the "archaeologist," at first.

He didn't have any special feelings for Robin.

Storm also disliked the other party's dark and scheming personality at the time.

As for Robin's "archaeology" skills...

Storm didn't care at all.

He had absolutely no interest in the ancient history of this world.

As for the people on the high seas who kept boasting about "Joy Boy"...

From the master of the Sky Throne to the Pirate King, and even the Pirate Emperors...

One after another, the top powerhouses of the ocean kept boasting about "Joey Boy"...

Storm remembers clearly that the last person to be hyped up was named—

Kozuki Oden!

He's that absolute idiot who, when others attacked his own doorstep, didn't fight or resist, and just let the enemy dance for him for years!

Storm is genuinely worried that "Joy Boy" is a giant version of Kozuki Oden...

Let's get back to Nicole Robin.

If it weren't for Aokiji Kuzan's request, Storm actually intended to leave Robin in Alabasta.

Storm didn't want a subordinate like Robin.

However, the sand crocodile took this "archaeologist" very seriously.

Unfortunately, Aokiji—Storm's direct superior—was giving orders.

Only then did Storm choose to accept Robin as his subordinate.

It wasn't until much time had passed that things changed.

It was only then that Storm and Robin became close.

But in any case.

If Storm ever gets the chance, he will definitely take Robin to see Aokiji!

Aokiji caused this trouble himself, so he should deal with it himself!

but.

Storm's words, "Give it to the admiral," are relevant.

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything.

When he said it, others just thought he was joking.

Robin didn't say anything, but she silently increased the force of her shoulder and back massage.

Perona, who has a rather eccentric personality, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hehehe... Captain, are you saying you might become a Marine Admiral someday?"

The Red Dragon Emperor was recognized by the world of the sea as the "Fifth Pirate Emperor" after just one battle.

If it weren't for the fact that the Crimson Dragon Emperor hadn't yet officially entered the New World to seize territory and expand his power...

The prefix "fifth position" can be completely eliminated!

Didn't the Red Dragon Emperor defeat Shanks?

Then the Red Dragon Emperor should replace Shanks and become the "Fourth Pirate Emperor"!

anyway.

What would it be like if the Red Dragon Emperor became a Marine Admiral?

Perona couldn't imagine it.

Even Storm couldn't imagine it.

"To be honest... I don't think I'll ever become a Navy Admiral..."

Storm frowned, pondered for a long time, and then sighed regretfully.

"Admiral candidate for Marine Headquarters... that's probably the limit of my rank!"

There are only three admirals in the Navy Headquarters.

One radish, one hole.

Unless a major event such as a "reshuffling of the navy" or the "sudden death of an admiral" occurs.

Otherwise.

The position of Admiral at the Navy Headquarters is extremely difficult to change.

Navy leadership reshuffle...

Storm doesn't see much hope yet.

The general died suddenly...

Rather than hoping for such a thing to happen, it would be better to hope that the Five Elders die suddenly.

"The old navy is no good... but the new navy has a certain chance..."

A thought flashed through Storm's mind, but he didn't say it aloud.

Vice Admiral at Naval Headquarters, member of the Sharp Edge Unit... these are all "facts" that are set in stone.

As for the "new navy," Storm has not yet received any contact from Zephyr.

Zefa is still teaching students!

The establishment of the new navy (NEO Navy) will take some time.

"General candidate..."

Perona, who had just been making jokes, was suddenly speechless.

"Why are you actually thinking about this kind of thing, Captain?!"

"Of course it's because—I really want to improve!"

"Stromb said in a very serious tone."

He then gave up on the Sharp Blade unit.

"I cannot disclose the name of the naval unit I am currently in, but as the second-in-command, I am qualified to form a naval squad! This has also been verbally acknowledged by the current Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!"

"Does anyone want to join the Navy?"

"The specific job duties are the same as mine—just be a good pirate!"

Storm is the second-in-command of the Blade Forces.

The subordinates he recruited were naturally also part of the Sharp Blade Force.

What is the Sharp Blade Force?

A naval guerrilla force operating freely on the high seas!

The Navy, which writes about freedom of action.

It is read as "pirates who receive wages".

Faced with the recruitment of Vice Admiral Strom from the Marine Headquarters, the members of the Storm Pirates had roughly the same attitude.

"I don't want to be a navy officer!"

"Not interested!"

"Not everyone is like the captain, enjoying playing this childish and boring 'multi-layered identity game'!"

"Hey! Hey! Luo!"

When Storm heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but look at the sharp-tongued Law.

"I don't like being misunderstood either!"

"Yeah?"

Luo crossed his arms, his expression indifferent.

"I think you're actually enjoying it, Captain, aren't you?"

"You bastard..."

Several dark lines appeared on Storm's forehead.

"You're not some kind of 'poison doctor,' are you? The way you talk is like your mouth is coated with poison!"

"I'm not good at toxicology."

Luo answered unhurriedly.

"My specialty is 'surgery,' Captain."

Just then.

A weak voice rang out.

"Captain, if I join the navy, will I get paid?"

"Of course! Nami!"

Storm's eyes lit up, and he immediately abandoned Law, looking at the orange girl on the other side.

Even a new recruit can earn an annual salary of two million Berries!

"You are a 'Cloud Person' who ate the 'Cloud-Cloud Fruit'. Based on the power of the 'Cloud-Cloud Fruit', you can be awarded the rank of 'Colonel'."

"The salary of a colonel is much higher than that of a private!"

"Interested in joining us for military pay?"

"I'm very interested in money!"

Nami first confidently revealed her little quirk, but then hesitated.

"But I really dislike the Navy... The Navy members I've encountered before were all a bunch of bastards..."

"That's how the Navy is."

Storm nodded and called out the name without any hesitation.

"Like Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji and the like... they're all a bunch of bastards."

"These days, there aren't many truly 'righteous navy' members."

Everyone was astonished by Storm's unruly attitude.

Is it inappropriate for a Vice Admiral at the Navy Headquarters to speak like that?

Luo was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice.

"Where is the Warring States Marshal?"

Storm glanced at Luo and said frankly.

"Completely abandoning his past beliefs in justice, he is now a tool of the Navy who 'dedicates himself' to the World Government."

After hesitating for a while, Ace asked in a low voice.

"What about the naval heroes?"

Storm doesn't hold back his sharp tongue.

"He has absolutely no sense of justice; he's just an old brute who does whatever comes to mind without any regard for the consequences."

Nami, who was listening with great interest, asked curiously.

"Where is Vice Admiral Hakuryu of the Marine Headquarters?"

Storm was taken aback.

"White Dragon? Oh, you mean me?"

Storm pondered for a long time.

"Not the best, but not the worst... anyway, it's not exactly a proper navy unit!"

Hearing Storm describe himself in this way was quite surprising.

The Storm Pirates crew members around them were immediately speechless.

"Captain... isn't that a bit too much of a view of yourself..."

Brooke stammered for a long time, but couldn't come up with a suitable adjective.

"In my opinion, I'm really not a good marine."

"Stromb said frankly."

"I would also like to say that my heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just."

"But everyone, a pirate is a pirate!"

"I'm no exception."
