Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 281 Offer your loyalty, Queen of Pleasure Street!

Because of its unique "occupational nature".

The so-called "Queen of Pleasure Street" can actually be roughly understood as "the number one madam of the sea".

Therefore, Stusi was called "Mom" by many people throughout her life.

But at this moment.

Stussy nearly split apart on the spot as he watched the enormous figure fall from the void, crying out "Mama."

The Queen of Pleasure Street opened her cherry-like mouth to its limit, her eyes bulging out, revealing the "shocked face" common to the sea, completely devoid of any beauty.

"White beard!??"

"Mother!"

Edward Weebull, with his two thin little legs, ran excitedly to his "mother" whom he hadn't seen in a long time and began to fawn over her.

"Why did you take so long to leave? I missed you so much! Hey? Mom, you seem to have gotten younger!"

Weebull is not mentally sharp, but he is not young.

He was "born" in the year 1489 of the Haiyuan calendar.

At that time, only three years had passed since the God Valley Incident ended and the Rocks Pirates disbanded.

It's important to understand that even for a "bad woman" like Charlotte Linlin, her "aging" and "alienation" didn't happen overnight.

During the Rocks Pirates era, Charlotte Linlin, Buckingham Stussy, and even Flame Flower were all top-tier beauties of the sea.

Buckingham Stussy wasn't as old as she is now when she "created" Weevil; she was still a charming female pirate.

Simply put—

Weebull had seen what Buckingham Stussy looked like when he was young!

So at this moment.

Weebull recognized Stussy's "true identity" at a glance.

But even someone as stupid as Weevil.

He still recognized the difference between the "Stusi" in front of him and the "mother" in his memory.

Weeber felt that this "mother" was much prettier than the previous one...

In a state of extreme shock, Stussy barely managed to recognize the true identity of the "white-bearded man" in front of him.

It's neither the "world's strongest man" nor the "Whitebeard II".

It's probably "Whitebeard III"—

Edward Weebull.

"Damn it! How can there be so many 'white beards' on the sea?!"

Stussy recalled Strom's earlier remark.

"Is this 'Whitebeard III' really a clone of Whitebeard? Like... me?"

Storm watched the "mother and son reunion" scene unfold quietly, without interrupting the spectacle.

Stussy glanced at Storm from afar, trying to calm himself down, then looked at Whitebeard III and cautiously probed.

"Whitebeard III?"

"Yes, Mom."

Weeber sat cross-legged, like a docile lapdog, obediently sitting in front of Stusi.

"I'm here... Mom, you seem to have grown taller?"

Because of age and some unknown "curse of the malicious".

In his old age, Buckingham Stussy not only became ugly and aged, but his body also shrank drastically, with his height barely reaching half a meter (about two-thirds less).

As a clone, Stussy perfectly "inherited" Buckingham Stussy's beauty in his youth, but unlike Buckingham Stussy, she did not age with time; her appearance remained as beautiful and charming as it had been decades ago.

Stussy stared at Weevil in front of him.

After all, she was a seasoned "madam" (crossed out) – a high-ranking agent of the World Government with exceptional insight.

Stussy quickly realized that the "Whitebeard III" in front of him was not as cruel and terrifying as the legends suggested, but rather like an innocent, naive, and ignorant child.

"The Third... Edward the Younger..."

Stussy tentatively changed how she addressed Weeble.

But Weevil shook his big head and said, somewhat displeased.

"Mom! I'm 'Weevil,' not 'Little Edward'!"

"Silly child..."

Stussy looked at Weevil with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, but a feeling of pity inevitably welled up in her heart.

She temporarily set aside her attention on Weebull and turned to look at Storm beside her.

"White Dragon—no, Crimson Dragon Emperor, is this child... also one of your subordinates?"

Before Storm could answer, Weebull noticed that "Mom" had shifted her attention and looked behind her as well.

"Vongola!"

Weeble also saw Storm, and his gaze swept around, but he didn't see the person he wanted to see.

"Where's my brother?"

elder brother?

Who is this?

Could it be... Whitebeard II?

Stussy glanced quickly at Weevil beside him, then swiftly looked away.

"Children should not interrupt when adults are speaking."

Storm curled his fingers and flicked them lightly, sending a clump of white clay flying from his fingertips, which then rapidly expanded in mid-air.

In an instant, a huge lump of clay fell down, enveloping Weevil and restricting his movement.

"Mom—uh!"

Weeber was about to call out "Mom" when...

Another lump of white clay was stuffed into his mouth, and his shouts turned into muffled "ooh-ooh" sounds.

Seeing that Weevil was still trying to struggle, Stussy glanced at Strom and immediately spoke to comfort him.

"Weebull, calm down."

Stussy's orders were paramount to Webull.

Weevil, who had just been struggling to escape the clay's restraints, immediately became still.

With a wave of his hand, Storm engulfed Webble in white clay, which then gradually shrank until it disappeared without a trace.

Weevil was directly transferred to the alternate dimension created by the [Ring of Doors].

Stussy watched the scene unfold before him in silence.

Previously it was the Red Dragon Fruit, now it's the Clay Fruit...

The irrefutable evidence has already proven—

The White Dragon is none other than the Crimson Dragon Emperor!

Vongola Storm is Dawn Draig!

This is the ultimate pirate who fooled the entire ocean!

Stussy's delicate body trembled slightly.

"Although you should already recognize him, I'll introduce him anyway—Edward Weevil."

"Stromb said calmly."

"He is a 'clone' created by Buckingham Stussy using the knowledge and technology of the MADS organization, based on the white beard."

"However, due to Buckingham Stussy's personal limitations, Edward Weevil was unable to inherit all of Edward Newgate's abilities, only his physical attributes, especially his strength."

"In addition, Weebull also has some mental issues; he's like a child who never grows up."

Stussy pursed his lips and nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Then Storm continued.

"That might sound a bit strange... but Miss Stussy, Buckingham Stussy is dead, and Weevil really misses his 'mother' right now."

Storm has been "recruiting" Weebull for some time now.

This fool does nothing but eat and sleep all day.

Even though Storm had already given the Mythical Zoan-type Mountain Child Fruit to Weevil.

Weevil still hasn't realized that he has become a Devil Fruit user.

Occasionally, sometimes.

After eating and drinking his fill, Weebull couldn't sleep, so he started howling – he wanted to see his mother!

Storm has encountered this situation several times before.

His solution is usually to "summon Edward Teach the Second Whitebeard".

The kid is being disobedient?

A few punches were enough to quiet the child down.

Storm didn't take it seriously at first.

After all, Buckingham Stussy is already dead.

Storm didn't want to create an old and ugly woman just to appease Edward Weevil.

He had planned to beat Weevil up a few more times, until the other woman completely forgot about that crazy old hag Buckingham Stussy…

But now that Storm has arrived in Grantezoro, he has encountered the "Gathering of Kings of the Dark World" event.

Buckingham Stussy's clone—Pleasure Street Queen Stussy—came to his doorstep.

After careful consideration, Storm decided to recruit Stussy!

The reason he wanted to recruit Stusi was...

It wasn't just because Stussy could appease Weebull.

It's not because Stussy is one of the kings of the underworld.

The main reason is Vegapunk!

Stussy.

Her official identity is "Queen of the Pleasure Street".

His secret identity is "CP0 Senior Agent".

Its core identity is "a clone created by Vegapunk".

As far as Storm knows.

Stussy was extremely loyal to Vegapunk.

Think about it the other way around.

Vegapunk also trusted Stussy very much.

When Storm goes to Punk Hazard and forcibly kidnaps Vegapunk, he will need to motivate Vegapunk to "work harder".

Stussy was simply a "tool" that Storm used to motivate Vegapunk!

Strom looked calmly at Stussy, considered for a moment, but still did not reveal his future plans. He said in a low voice.

"Miss Stussy, what's your choice?"

The White Dragon is the Crimson Dragon Emperor...

This crucial top-secret intelligence information flashed through Stussy's mind.

She had reason to suspect that if she refused the White Dragon's invitation now, she would probably go to see the real Buckingham Stussy immediately.

The threat of death loomed over Stussy's mind like a shadow.

Should we stick to our previous opinion and refuse Bailong's invitation?

The image of Weevil flashed through Stusi's mind again.

Even if it's just the first time we meet.

Weebull left a very deep impression on Stussy.

It wasn't just because Weevil called her "Mom".

More importantly—

Weevil is the only other "clone" of the sea that Stussy knows of besides herself!

They weren't the inferior, emotionless clone soldiers of the Germa Kingdom.

Instead, she is a "clone" who calls her "Mom" and possesses genuine human emotions!

My kind...

Stussy's chest heaved violently a few times, creating a dazzling wave, and she knelt on one knee.

"Lord White Dragon! I am willing to offer you my loyalty!"
