Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 284 The Birth of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark World!

Being opportunistic is not a skill exclusive to pirates.

Clearly, the so-called "King of the Dark World" is also an expert in this field.

As Storm watched the news of the lightning-fast sliding kneeling bird Morgans and shipping magnate Umit, the indifferent expression on his face faded considerably.

His previously prepared [Conqueror's Haki] stopped, and the chilling atmosphere surrounding him slowly dissipated.

Storm looked at the two kings of the underworld, two red lights rising in his eyes, and said calmly.

Get up.

These three short words sounded like heavenly music to Morgans and Umit.

"Thank you, sir!" x2

The two kings of the underworld, who were originally filled with fear and anxiety, suddenly felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They stood up, their hearts filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.

Honestly.

Morgans and Ummit witnessed firsthand the downfall of the moneylender king, the master funeral director, and the old warehouse maker, and it would be a lie to say they weren't panicked.

As the saying goes, "When one's own kind grieves, the rabbit mourns the fox's death."

Three kings of the underworld were instantly defeated. How could the remaining two not have any emotional fluctuations?

As for the Queen of Pleasure Street and the Golden Emperor watching from the sidelines...

Both Morgans and Umit were aware of the two men's stance.

Tezzolo and Stussy just watched from the sidelines, of course, because they had already "betrayed" them!

Perhaps this "gathering of kings of the underworld" is actually a huge trap set for the kings of the underworld!

Damn!

Damn it!

Morgans and Umit dared not direct their resentment at Storm.

But they not only have the audacity to be hostile and hateful towards Tezzolo and Stussy, they have it in large numbers!

The Golden Emperor and the Queen of Pleasure Street... those two bastards!

Storm's Observation Haki, capable of "reading minds," immediately revealed the inner thoughts of Big News Bird and Sea King.

He had no objection to this.

Storm originally intended to take down the three loan shark kings, Luffield, shipping king Umet, and warehouse tycoon Gibson in one fell swoop.

These three rulers of the underworld were also the three targets that Tesoro had previously highlighted as key targets.

As for the other three—Queen of Pleasure Street Stussy, Big Newsbird Morgans, and Big Hand Funeral Director Piecrow.

Storm originally intended to let them go.

According to his previous idea.

The dark world has seven kings—that's far too many!

Donquixote Doflamingo has already been "dealt with" ahead of time.

The remaining six people were cut in half, leaving only three.

Stussy, the Queen of Pleasure Street.

Big News Bird Morgans.

Piecrow, the master mortician.

Golden Emperor Gilder Tesoro.

These four will form the new "Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark World".

However, plans can't keep up with changes.

Storm also did not expect that the master funeral director would fail after meeting the king of loan sharks.

Instead of surrendering, he dared to retaliate!

Then don't blame Storm for sending this guy away!

Dealing with the master funeral director Piecrow and keeping the shipping king Umit in the meantime would have a similar impact.

Furthermore.

The Golden Emperor Tesoro had already been recruited by Strom.

Stussy, the queen of Pleasure Street, was also taken in by Storm as her subordinate.

Now, the big news is that bird of prey Morgans and shipping king Umit have voluntarily surrendered.

Storm didn't really have any intention of refusing.

This moment.

A new set of four kings of the underworld has been born!

Golden Emperor Tesoro!

Umit, the shipping king!

Big news! Bird Morgans!

Stussy, the Queen of Pleasure Street!

Storm stretched out his right hand, and white clay surged out like waves.

The clay directly swallowed up the loan shark king Lu Feld, the great funeral director Piecrow, and the warehouse tycoon Gibson, and secretly transferred them to the "Void Prison" connected by the [Ring of Doors].

Now that Storm possesses the [Ring of Doors], he can create separate dimensions for imprisoning prisoners, so he no longer needs to eliminate enemies on the spot.

Judging from the previously popped-up "Grand Prize Cup"...

The three kings of the underworld, including the King of Loans, are all six-star powerhouses, nearly on par with Donquixote Doflamingo in strength.

Such powerful individuals are quite "rare" on the high seas.

Storm intends to imprison these three kings of the underworld.

In the future, he will also be able to regularly harvest six-star Diamond Cups from these people.

The white clay vanished into the void, and the few dark world kings who had just been defeated also disappeared, leaving only four single sofas made of clay.

"Sit down!"

Storm waved to the four people in front of him.

Tezzolo, Stussy, Umit, and Morgans immediately obeyed the order and sat down together in front of Strom.

But Tezzolo and Stussy sat to one side.

Umit and Morgans sat on the other side.

The four newly crowned "Four Heavenly Kings of the Underworld" are clearly divided into two factions.

Tesoro glanced at Umit, the shipping magnate opposite him, and felt a slight pang of regret.

He had his eye on Umit's fortune and wanted to use the power of the White Dragon to sweep away all of the latter's wealth.

In fact, the three men Tesoro mentioned earlier—the king of loan sharks, the shipping magnate, and the warehouse tycoon—were among the three wealthiest kings of the underworld.

This is also the fundamental reason why Tesoro previously proposed to eliminate these three.

As for the other three kings of the dark world...

Big News Bird makes money from newspapers and Google.

The Queen of Happy Street makes money off women.

Top-tier funeral directors make their money from the dead...

The development of these three individuals' influence and the scale of their personal wealth are clearly inferior to those of the first three.

But to Tesoro's great regret...

That madman, Piecrow the Great Funeral Master, actually dared to attack the White Dragon.

In the end, the shipping tycoon wasn't killed; only the king of loan sharks and the old warehouse maker were dealt with...

Tezzolo did feel a little regretful.

As for Umit and Morgans on the other side, they looked at Tezzolo and Stussy with extremely cold eyes.

In their view, if it weren't for this "cheating couple," they would never have inexplicably become someone else's subordinates!

I bitterly resent spending year after year pressing gold thread, only to make wedding gowns for others.

The family business, built up over decades of hard work... just like that, became someone else's property.

How could Umit and Morgans not hate them?

There's an undercurrent of tension between Tezzolo and Stussy, and between Morgans and Umit.

Storm turned a blind eye to this.

He couldn't even guarantee Tezzolo and Stussy's "loyalty".

The newly recruited Umit and Morgans... are even less likely to be considered "loyal".

To be fair...

Storm didn't take the "Four Kings of the Dark World" in front of him too seriously.

If conditions permit.

Storm wouldn't mind having his Storm Pirates replace the so-called "Four Heavenly Kings of the Underworld".

Unfortunately, his Storm Pirates are still "developing," and none of the "talented monsters" have reached their peak strength yet, so they have no way to replace the "King of the Dark World."

Let's use these four people for now!

Regardless of any conflicts or confrontations they may have with each other.

As long as it doesn't affect Storm's personal plans.

Storm can simply sit back and relax.

and.

These "Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark World" distrust each other.

On the contrary, it suits Storm's requirements better...

Storm put aside the jumble of thoughts in his mind, looked at the two "old men" first, and spoke.

"Tezzolo, Stussy, halt the attack on Umit's shipping company! Send someone to clean up and deal with the influence and territory of the Big Hand Funeral Directors."

"Yes, sir!" x2

Tesoro and Stussy did not hesitate. They immediately took out Den Den Mushi and contacted their respective subordinates, informing them that the attack target had been changed.

Seeing this, both Morgans and Umit looked rather grim.

So, before they even reached Gulantezolo, the people here had already begun plotting to seize their property?

This is really...

"Umit!"

Storm invoked the name of the Sea King.

"Now that you've surrendered, you should cooperate with Tesoro and Stussy's actions! Take over the power and wealth of the loan shark king, the warehouse tycoon, and the master funeral director."

Umit hadn't expected this kind of mission to be waiting for him.

To inherit the wealth of three kings of the underworld?

Even if his power is damaged this time, the wealth of the three kings of the dark world can completely make up for all his previous losses!

Umit, the shipping magnate who had just been resentful of being recruited by Storm, immediately stood up and said loudly.

"Yes, sir!"

It's not shabby to earn money.

While retrieving the Den Den Mushi and contacting his subordinates, Umit had even more on his mind.

There were originally seven kings in the dark world.

Doflamingo is "dead".

The remaining six people divided up the power and wealth of that "Heavenly Demon".

But now, three more kings of the dark world have "died" at once.

The remaining three, plus the Golden Emperor, can then take over the wealth and power of these three individuals.

Not only that.

Originally, the "business" in the dark world was for the seven kings to profit from.

Now there are only four people left!

And so it went...

Umit quickly did some mental calculations.

This is not a loss at all; on the contrary, it's a huge profit!

Having just pledged allegiance to Lord White Dragon was definitely the right choice!

"Breaking news! Big news indeed!"

Morgans was getting restless as he watched the other three keep dialing Den Den Mushi.

He jumped up from the sofa with a "whoosh" and screamed in a shrill voice.

"Sir! I can also help you inventory and take over the assets of the loan shark king and his ilk!"

Big news is important.

But money and wealth are equally important!

The World Economic Herald, published by Morgans, isn't something that grew on air.

If given the opportunity, one could plunder the wealth of other underworld kings.

Morgans would not hesitate for a moment.

"you?"

Big Newsbird volunteered for the mission, but Storm had some doubts about his abilities.

"Besides a bunch of newspaper-delivering birds, do you have any other forces under your command?"

It's understandable that Storm had some doubts.

Among the several kings of the underworld.

Morgans' business is undoubtedly the most "clean".

Aside from its penchant for spreading fake news, Morgans' World Economic Herald is essentially a legitimate company.

This is why Storm had not previously targeted Morgans or the World Economic Newspaper, the "Big Newsbird," for looting.

Also.

Storm just let go of shipping magnate Umit, whose business dealings were also relatively "legitimate."

At least the World Government and the Navy Headquarters sometimes borrow Umit's logistical resources.

The construction of Egghead Island, that "island of the future," was aided by Umit's logistics company...

"My lord! I am, after all, the king of the underworld!"

Morgans protested.

"How could my subordinates consist of nothing more than a flock of birds?"

"And journalists, photographers, columnists...?"

Storm looked at the big news bird and waved his hand impatiently.

"Since you also want to work, then join Tesoro and the others! The Heavenly Demon, the King of Loans, the Warehouse Owner, the Master Funeral Director... these are the targets."

"Hurry up and get rid of these small targets, there's a 'big job' waiting for you afterwards!"

"Whole Cake Island, the Big Mom Pirates!"
