Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 315 [The Domineering Knot]!

The ocean bubbles burst instantly.

Kizaru escaped and returned to his peak condition.

He recalled the giant bubble that had just "stripped" him of his [Glint-Glint Fruit] ability and couldn't help but sigh.

"That's really scary~"

"As expected, he's still being sarcastic and unsettling."

Storm glanced at Kizaru and put the Mythical Zoan-type Tanuki Fruit into the Gate of Babylon.

He didn't care at all about the Salamander Fruit he had obtained before.

In Storm's eyes, an ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit is no more valuable than the Chameleon Fruit.

Salamanders aren't animals with any special abilities.

Could it be that if the Salamander Fruit is developed to its fullest potential, one can gain the ability of "immortality"?

But the [Mythical Zoan Type: Tanuki Fruit] is different!

This Devil Fruit is really powerful!

Storm even thought that the [Bake-tanuki Fruit] was qualified to compete for the title of "Strongest Mythical Zoan"!

This is not a Devil Fruit.

This is a Devil Fruit tree!

Having the [Bio-Tanuki Fruit] is no different from having a thousand troops.

Storm is very interested in the Mythical Zoan type, the Raccoon Fruit.

Despite having a large army of Devil Fruit users thanks to the combined effects of the Clay-Clay Fruit and the Soul-Soul Fruit, Storm already possesses a formidable force of Devil Fruit users.

However, his "army of Devil Fruit users" is entirely created by himself, and he can only create the Devil Fruit abilities he already possesses.

But now I have obtained the [Mythical Beast Species - Tanuki Fruit].

Storm could even conjure up an army of other Devil Fruit users!

For example, Kizaru and Vegapunk next to him.

For example, the other two admirals of the Navy Headquarters.

For example, the Five Elders, who hold the highest authority in the world government...

These people are now all within Storm's "mass-creating" scope!

Clay Fruit, Soul Fruit, Bake-Bake Fruit...

Storm is one step closer to becoming the "King of Figurines"!

Kizaru kept an eye on Storm's actions out of the corner of his eye, while his body quietly moved to Vegapunk's side.

But before the admiral could even leave with his men, they were already gone.

Storm's voice sounded softly.

"If you try to escape with someone, I'll break their legs!"

Kizaru felt a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat soaked his clothes instantly.

After these few encounters, Kizaru had no doubt that Storm could really break his legs.

The speed of the Glint-Glint Fruit is indeed very fast.

However, Kizaru was too close to Storm at that moment to escape the range of Storm's Conqueror's Haki, let alone with Vegapunk, the "world's biggest head," in tow...

"Haha..."

Kizaru chuckled dryly a few times, then reached out and placed his hand on Vegapunk's shoulder, giving it a perfunctory squeeze.

"I just wanted to check on an old friend."

"Just assume I believe that."

Storm shook his head. With a slight thought, an invisible soul fluctuation emanated from his body.

A moment later.

Accompanied by a faint rumble of thunder, a dazzling bolt of lightning gathered and took shape around him.

Whitebeard II Edward Teach makes his appearance!

Teach looked at Storm and nodded in acknowledgment.

"captain."

The title that Storm had previously assigned to the "Clay Homies" was "Head of the House".

However, in front of outsiders, he still gave "clay homies" a more popular name—

captain.

"Teach, look at this admiral."

Storm gave the order to Whitebeard II.

"If he tries to attack Dr. Vegapunk, just break his legs!"

Teach nodded seriously.

"Yes, Captain."

Kizaru looked at Whitebeard Jr., his lips twitching violently a few times.

Whitebeard II is calling him Captain Storm!

really.

The white dragon is the same as the red dragon!

It's absolutely ridiculous.

However, the appearance of Whitebeard Jr. completely dispelled Kizaru's idea of escaping with his men.

The speed of the Glint-Glint Fruit is almost unmatched in the ocean.

However, the speed of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is in no way inferior to that of the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Whitebeard II watched from the side.

Kizaru couldn't even escape Punk Hazard Island, let alone lead anyone away!

Let's hold back for now and see what Storm is up to...

The moment the thought of giving up arises, the world suddenly seems vast.

Kizaru lay down comfortably, glanced at the mobile clay sofa beneath Vegapunk, and waved to Storm.

"Stroh, give me one of these clay sofas too. I'm tired of standing and want to lie down for a while."

"...At your age, with your status, how can you lie down?! Stand up!"

Storm showed no respect for Kizaru and flatly rejected his unreasonable request.

Punk Hazard Island continued to drift forward.

As they were about to arrive at the G5 naval branch base in the New World.

Storm then sent the Golden Lion II with a naval warship—filled with marines and researchers—to the G5 branch base on the sea below.

Using his Observation Haki, Kizaru "watched" the entire process of Shiki Jr.'s actions, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He had previously thought that Storm had simply "cleaned up" the irrelevant people on Punk Hazard Island, just like how this guy had "cleaned up" Infinite Hell before.

However, judging from the number of personnel on that naval warship...

Storm did not harm any innocent people in this operation.

He only took Vegapunk, Sentomaru, and the entire Punk Hazard Island.

but.

Kizaru glanced at the multiple naval warships still floating around Punk Hazard Island, then looked with a hint of doubt at Storm, who was asking Vegapunk about the "Wind Knot Technique".

"Stromb, aren't these naval warships being sent to the G5 branch down below?"

Storm's enthusiasm for learning was interrupted by Kizaru. He frowned and looked impatiently at the Marine Headquarters Admiral.

"Who do you think I am? A charity marine? These ships are all mine now!"

The fact that Storm was willing to send a naval warship was already a favor to Vegapunk.

As for the other naval warships...

Storm had other uses.

Kizaru helplessly raised his hands.

"You have such a bad temper!"

"Shut up, Kizaru!"

Storm rebuked him angrily.

Kizaru readily complied, pinching his thumb and forefinger together and pulling on his lips, making a "zipping up his mouth" motion.

Noise from unauthorized personnel was forcibly eliminated.

Storm once again immersed himself in learning the "Wind Knot Technique".

This special technique, originating from the small sky island of Visalia, is essentially a very sophisticated application of meteorological skills.

Storm was not interested in meteorology.

All he cared about was the "wind storage technology" within the "wind knot technology".

At Storm's earnest request, Vegapunk modified his teaching plan and directly taught him the "Wind Knot: Wind Storage Technique".

interest is the best teacher.

Moreover, Storm has the Grand Prix as a backing.

On the way from Punk Hazard to Totto Land.

Storm successfully mastered the "Wind Knot Wind Storage Technology".

To test his mastery of the technique, Vegapunk even prepared several "props" for him.

Punk Hazard Island possesses abundant material resources.

Inside the First Research Laboratory, Vegapunk directly produced several custom-made white ropes that were exactly the same as the Wind Knots produced by Visalia.

"Here, take these ropes."

Vegapunk personally handed the rope to Storm.

"You have a strong talent for learning, but unfortunately you don't have an interest in this area of research... Never mind."

"I have nothing more to teach you. If you want to learn something else, call me again later."

"I need to get back to my other research now."

Vegapunk left swiftly and decisively.

He is a research fanatic.

In the process of teaching Storm the "Wind Knot Technique," Vegapunk also accumulated a bellyful of research desires that he desperately needed to vent.

Storm didn't stop him. After thanking Vegapunk, he watched the top genius of the ocean run into the First Research Institute.

"I'm very curious."

During this time, Kizaru had also been observing Storm's actions, but he couldn't understand what the other was thinking.

"When did you become so interested in meteorology? Is your dream to become a navigator?"

"You're a bit noisy."

Storm spread out the ropes, rode a blue-eyed white dragon, and flew high into the sky, drawing in the wind from the outside world.

A flash of golden light appeared.

Kizaru instantly appeared on the head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, quietly watching Storm's actions.

With the continuous influx of wind.

Storm began to methodically tie knots in the rope.

When he tied the first knot.

The name of the knot was revealed at just the right moment: "Grand Prize Cup".

【Name: Wind Knot】

Star Rating: ★★

[Description: The special technology of the small sky island of Visalia, capable of summoning wind and rain, and altering the weather]

[Effect: Untie the knot, releasing a gentle breeze]

[Comment: Whew! Whew!]

The Wind Knot is successfully made!

Storm had no problems with his studies before!

He untied the only knot on the [Wind Knot], releasing a gentle breeze.

Kizaru stroked his chin, quietly watching Storm's actions.

The knots that had just been restored to their original state were now being tied into knots one after another by Storm's increasingly skilled movements.

Soon after, all three knots were tied.

Storm's [Wind Knot] has been upgraded from two stars to four stars.

This time.

When Storm tore open the three knots in one go, it summoned a gust of wind strong enough to blow an ordinary person away.

The Wind Knot Technique: A Great Success!

"That's really amazing!"

Kizaru looked at it for a long time but couldn't see anything wrong with it. After giving a casual compliment, he left.

Watching Storm play with ropes is less interesting than going to have tea and read the newspaper!

Kizaru disappeared.

Storm didn't pay any attention and proceeded directly to the next step.

He recalled the entire process of absorbing the wind power and began to release and store his Armament Haki into the knot.

After another knot was tied.
