Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 280 Yes, you have a son!

A new world, night falls.

A magnificent, ornately decorated ship slowly entered the port of Grantezolo.

This ornate "flower boat" belongs to Stussy, one of the kings of the underworld and the queen of the pleasure district.

Stussy wore a white sun hat with a vibrant, blood-red rose adorning the brim, and a purple fur coat wrapped around her delicate body, revealing a deep, alluring cleavage at the collar.

As the famous Queen of the Pleasure Street, Stussy's appearance is no less stunning than any of the most beautiful women in the world.

Da da—

The Queen of Pleasure Street's high heels slammed onto the golden floor of Grantezoro, producing a crisp and resounding clanging sound.

Having received the news, Tezzolo had been waiting at the dock for a long time.

Upon seeing Stussy arrive, Tezzolo opened his arms wide, a warm and radiant smile spreading across his face.

"Welcome to my Grantezoro! Miss Stussy."

"The legendary Golden Emperor."

Stussy covered his mouth and chuckled softly, his sky-blue eyes gazing tenderly at Tezzolo.

"What a sweet-talking man..."

Blonde hair, blue eyes, gentle smile, stunning beauty...

Tezzolo gazed at Stussy, and a memory inexplicably surfaced in his mind—a memory of his former lover, Stella.

If Stella were still alive...

In an instant.

Tesoro's radiant smile vanished without a trace, and the aura he exuded seemed as cold as ice.

Stussy was slightly taken aback, unaware that her appearance reminded the Golden Emperor of his former lover...

"Please come with me, Miss Stussy."

Tezzolo, being a seasoned businessman, quickly put on a bright, business-like smile.

"A distinguished guest is waiting for your arrival at the central golden tower."

Stussy calmly strode forward and caught up with Tezzolo.

Led by Tezzolo, Stussy left the port with him.

A luxurious, extended tortoise-shaped car made of gold stopped in front of the two of them.

"This is the 'turtle car' of Grantezolo, and it is also the main mode of transportation in Grantezolo."

Tezzolo thoughtfully opened the door of the Tortoise sedan for Stuci, gesturing for him to get in.

"Come with me to the central golden tower, Miss Stussy."

Stussy's gaze swept across the exterior of the tortoise car, and she keenly spotted the shadows of several muscular tortoises.

She chuckled softly and then sat down in the back seat of the luxury car with Tezzolo.

"This is truly a refreshing mode of transportation."

Stussy casually offered a compliment, then immediately asked the question she was more concerned about.

"Mr. Tezzolo, who was that 'distinguished guest' you just mentioned? Was it Morgans and his group?"

As a "veteran" king of the underworld, Stussy has attended the Totto Land tea party many times and is naturally very familiar with the "traditional rules" of the kings of the underworld.

In previous years, before arriving in Totto Land, the kings of the underworld would often meet in advance to discuss the precautions for this year's tea party and how they should treat the "Queen of Totto Land".

no way.

In the dark world, everyone gives Stussy and her companions face and calls them "Kings of the Dark World".

But the true master of the New World has always been only one—the Pirate Emperor!

Four pirate emperors reigning over the New World!

In front of BIG MOM, the so-called king of the underworld is not much more noble than any "underworld pawn".

Charlotte Linlin has no need to give face to the so-called king of the underworld.

On the contrary, the kings of the underworld are the ones who need to be flattered.

The early meeting of the kings of the underworld is, in a sense, a form of "sticking together for warmth."

this year.

The reason why the rulers of the dark world chose Grantezoro to meet is because...

Aside from the fact that this "world's largest entertainment city" is in a good location.

There is another reason.

Donquixote Doflamingo was defeated by Haku, and the Donquixote Family was subsequently destroyed, creating a "vacuum" at the top of the power pyramid in the underworld.

Meanwhile.

The power of the Golden Emperor Tesoro is growing rapidly, and he is about to take over the "legacy" of the Don Quixote family.

The rulers of the dark world believe that the Golden Emperor has the potential to become the new "King".

Stussy and the others gathered in Grantezoro to meet the "new king" of the dark world.

The tortoise car drove smoothly along the wide streets of Grantezolo.

Tezzolo didn't explain, he just kept it a secret.

"Miss Stussy will find out soon enough."

Upon hearing this, Stussy stopped asking questions, and a thought flashed through her mind.

"Could it be that the pirates from Whole Cake Island have also arrived in Gran Tesoro ahead of schedule?"

Like Don Quixote Doflamingo.

Stussy, the queen of the underworld and the queen of the pleasure district, also has "multiple identities".

First of all, Stussy is the "King of the Dark World".

Secondly, Stussy is a member of CP0, the "strongest shield of the Celestial Dragons".

Finally, Stussy is "a clone loyal to Dr. Vegapunk".

The tortoise car drove from the docks of Grantezolo all the way to the central golden tower.

After arriving at the central golden tower, Stussy rode the golden staircase to the top of the tower, where he met the "distinguished guest" that Tezzolo had mentioned earlier.

"Hakuryu—Sir?"

Stussy's pupils contracted slightly for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and forced a calm and collected demeanor.

"Or...Mr. Red Dragon?"

The white dragon and the red dragon share the same face.

Stusi was well aware of this matter as well.

Because the World Government and the Marine Headquarters issued separate bounties for the Red Dragon Emperor and the Dawn Pirates.

Like most people, Stussy did not mistake the "Red Dragon Emperor" for the "White Dragon," but simply thought that the two looked extremely similar.

Just like a clone...

Stussy's eyes flickered slightly for a moment.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Stussy. I am Vongola Storm."

Storm looked at the Queen of Pleasure Street standing in front of him, his expression turning strange for a moment.

"Actually, I should have been more polite... 'Miss Buckingham Stussy II'."

Stussy, a "clone" created by the MADS organization.

Her clone prototype is Buckingham Stussy from the Rocks Pirates!

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem with Storm referring to Stussy as "Miss Buckingham Stussy II".

However, compared to the elderly Buckingham Stussy I encountered on Golden Island in the East China Sea...

The younger version of Stussy in front of us is undoubtedly more pleasing to the eye.

The sea is indeed filled with deep malice towards bad women...

A thought flashed through Storm's mind.

At this time.

Upon hearing Strom's self-introduction, Stussy immediately recognized him as the Shichibukai, White Dragon!

Because the Crimson Dragon Emperor's name is Dawn Draig...

But at this moment, Stussy couldn't care less about the "white dragon" or the "red dragon" issue.

"Mr. White Dragon."

Stussy's back was covered in a cold sweat, almost soaking her clothes, but her face showed no sign of panic, only a pitiful and bewildered expression.

"I don't understand you."

"If you don't like this name, I can take back what I said before."

Storm waved his hand and answered calmly.

"Anyway, there's no one else here, so you don't need to worry about your secret being leaked."

After listening to Strom's words, Stussy belatedly realized that there were only the two of them in the room.

The Golden Emperor Tesoro, who was just with her, had long since disappeared.

However, Stussy is, after all, an experienced agent and madam (?), and she doesn't easily reveal her true emotional changes to outsiders.

"I still don't understand what Mr. Hakulong is talking about..."

"Whatever you want. It's really not a good idea to talk about your 'background' with outsiders."

Storm skipped the topic of titles and stared intently at the Queen of Pleasure Street across from him, asking directly.

"Miss Stussy, would you be interested in joining my service and working for me?"

So it was... a recruitment drive?

Stussy calmed himself down and politely declined.

"Mr. Haku, I also have a lot of business to manage myself~"

Strom gazed at Stussy, his golden eyes igniting silently.

A pair of indifferent, ruthless golden vertical pupils stared straight at the Queen of Pleasure Street, an invisible sense of oppression permeating the surroundings.

"And now, Miss Stussy?"

Golden dragon eyes?

Stussy was utterly shocked and could no longer control his turbulent emotions.

Isn't this Haku, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

Instead, he is hailed by the world as the fifth Pirate Emperor—the Red Dragon Emperor!?

Wait a minute!

The Red Dragon Emperor just introduced himself as "Vongola Storm"!

Could it be that……

Are the Crimson Dragon Emperor and the White Dragon actually the same person?!

Stussy instinctively took a step back, but she quickly recovered and forced a smile.

"Lord Crimson Dragon Emperor."

Stussy looked at Strom with a weak and pitiful expression.

"Why would someone as important as you bother a woman like me?"

"The ruler of the dark world is no ordinary woman."

Strom's golden eyes stared indifferently at Stussy as he spoke earnestly.

"Furthermore, there is a reason why I want to recruit you."

"Miss Stussy, do you want a child?"

"Child, child?"

The topic changed so quickly that Stussy's delicate smile froze on her charming face.

Yes, you have a child.

Storm's golden eyes faded, and he stroked his chin, correcting himself.

To be precise, Buckingham Stussy had a child.

"You can only be considered a 'stepmother' at best."

"Step-mother?"

Stussy was completely dumbfounded.

She has been drifting on the sea for so many years, what kind of storms hasn't she seen?

But what happened today...

I've never seen Stussy before!

"Would you like to see your 'son'?"

Strom looked at Stussy and, before the latter could recover, dropped another bombshell.

"By the way, your 'son' is actually a 'clone' as well."

If the famous "Queen of Pleasure Street" has any "fatal weakness," then...

Vegapunk is one.

The identity of a clone also counts.

"Lord Crimson Dragon Emperor!"

Stussy gritted his teeth and stomped his foot.

"Could I see the 'child' you just mentioned?"

"A child? You could call him a 'child'!"

Storm waved his hand, and a door opened in the void.

Before Stussy could get a good look at the big guy who had suddenly appeared, a fervent voice called out to her.

"Mother!"
