Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 323 The Storm Pirates Reunite!

North Sea, Downs Island.

Dark, inky clouds shrouded half the island, and dazzling lightning poured down from the clouds, spreading across the land below.

One by one, the pirates were electrocuted and charred black by the thunder, unable to rise again.

The ghostly clouds and mist covered the other half of the island, and illusory ghosts descended from the sky, moving across the island's ground at extremely high speed.

The moment the pirates were touched by this ghost, they completely lost their will to resist and knelt down, unable to get up.

In the waters near Downs Island, a yellow submarine—the Polar Diving—surfaced. Several men who hadn't yet landed on the island looked helplessly at the sky above Downs Island.

"These two women..."

Luo couldn't help but put his hand to his forehead, muttering to himself.

"This is insane!"

"Not a single one! Not a single one! It's always like this!"

Standing to the side, Kidd had several veins bulging on his forehead, and he looked extremely angry.

"Nami and Perona! Those two women always wipe out all the enemies! They leave me with none!"

"Ugh...so boring."

Ace, with the black sword [Autumn Water] slung over his shoulder, said listlessly.

"If I had known I wouldn't be able to find a single opponent, I should have stayed in the Germa Kingdom and trained with Mr. Kuma."

"Being able to fly is truly amazing..."

Kira said with obvious envy.

"If I could fly, I could at least snatch one or two enemies, right?"

Under Law's leadership, the Storm Pirates have been continuously cleaning up the remnants of the Donquixote Family in the North Blue.

However, due to Nami and Perona's excessive competence.

Luo, Kidd, and their group always had a hard time finding opponents.

Nami's Cloud-Cloud Fruit and Perona's Ghost-Ghost Fruit are incredibly effective at clearing out mobs.

If it were in the new world, even in paradise.

Nami and Perona wouldn't have such an easy time fighting each other.

But this is Beihai.

In this sea area, Nami and Perona's strength can be described as "standing at the top"!

"So annoying!"

Kidd, his face contorted with rage, turned to look at Law beside him.

"Luo! How many more islands are there?"

"That's all..."

Luo shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"As far as I know, recently, other forces in the underworld have been cleaning up the remnants of the Don Quixote family."

"They are more powerful than us, and they have more people than us..."

"The remnants of the Don Quixote family within the Beihai area have been largely wiped out."

Downs Island is actually the true stronghold of the Don Quixote family.

Decades ago, Donquixote Doflamingo, along with Trebol, Diamante, Pica, and Vergo, founded the Donquixote Family on this island of Downs.

However, few people in the North Sea knew this information.

Luo only learned of the existence of Downs Island because of his previous special experience.

Just as Luo and Kidd were talking, a delicate shout rang out behind them.

"You bastard who betrayed the family and betrayed the young master's trust!"

Baby5's hands transformed into two pistols, the muzzles pointed at the back of Luo's head, and she pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Go to hell, Luo!"

boom!boom!

Accompanied by loud gunshots.

Two perfectly round bullets shot out from the muzzle of Baby5's pistol.

But Luo stood still and did not move.

Kid, who was standing nearby, immediately activated his [Magnetic-Magnetic Fruit] ability.

zizi——

A faint crackling sound of electricity echoed in the void.

The metal bullet fired by Baby5 was directly controlled by Kid's ability, hovering in mid-air and completely losing its power.

"Women are such a hassle!"

Kidd waved his hand with a look of disgust, and two bullets fell onto the hull of the Arctic Submarine, making a crisp "clink" sound.

"Luo, if you can't bring yourself to do it, I can help you kill this troublesome woman!"

After Baby 5 was given to Law by Storm, she was recruited into the latter's Heart Pirates.

However, due to past experiences, Baby5 showed great disrespect to Luo.

Just like today's "assassination" operation.

I've had Baby5 done several times already.

But it never succeeded.

"Baby5..."

Luo didn't say much, but simply turned his head and calmly looked at Baby5.

"Go and prepare some rice balls for me, but don't put dried plums in them."

Baby5, who was so aggressive just a second ago.

The next second, she showed a well-behaved smile.

"Yes, ma'am!"

Baby5 put away the pistols that her hands had turned into and left with light steps to prepare rice balls for Luo.

"This might be a bit offensive, but Luo..."

Ace, observing Baby5's words and actions, couldn't help but look at Law.

"You're a doctor, right? Should I prescribe some medication for Baby 5 that can treat brain damage?"

Ace's attitude was caring, but his words were hurtful.

Luo glanced at Ace helplessly.

Do you think Baby 5's problems can be solved by taking medication?

This woman has been like this since the first day Luo met her.

Donquixote Doflamingo once tried to cure Baby5's problem.

After all, Baby 5's condition was really serious...

Baby5 is the kind of person who, when faced with an enemy's demands on the battlefield, will not hesitate to turn against them...

But Donquixote Doflamingo failed.

The problems with Baby5 are incurable.

Kira, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but chime in.

"What if we increase the dosage?"

"This isn't about taking medicine!"

Luo scratched his hair and said thoughtfully.

"But if we could give Baby5 a different body, perhaps she wouldn't be in so much danger..."

Baby5's "assassination" operation, while not causing any harm to Law, was indeed quite dangerous.

In particular, Luo and his crew's vehicle was the "Polar Diving," a submarine.

If Baby 5's weapons and ammunition puncture the hull of the polar submersible...

The consequences would be unimaginable.

"Luo."

Kidd offered his earnest advice.

"Let's just kill Baby5!"

Luo snapped out of his daze, glanced at Kidd, and said nothing.

When he took in Baby5, he didn't kill her.

It's even less likely that Baby5 will be killed now.

Is Kidd's mind filled with nothing but "kill, kill, kill"?

Just then.

A cloud drifted in from the horizon.

Nami and Perona, looking utterly bored, flew over on a white cloud.

"I'm so bored..."

Nami looked at Law first.

"The pirates of the North Blue are so weak."

"...The pirates of the North Blue are not weak! At least the North Blue is not known as the 'weakest sea'!"

Law, a pirate from the North Blue, did not agree with Nami's views, a female pirate from the East Blue.

"But you, and Perona, your Devil Fruit abilities are just too overpowered!"

The Cloud-Cloud Fruit and the Ghost-Ghost Fruit.

This level of Devil Fruit, in low-level battles, can only be described in two words—

Indiscriminate slaughter!

"The pirates in the East Blue and the North Blue are equally weak."

Perona rested her chin on her hand and sighed.

"With our current state, when will we be able to help Lord Haku...?"

These words were spoken.

Nami, who had just been about to argue with Law, suddenly fell silent.

Law, Ace, Kid, and the others also shut their mouths.

They all read the World Economic News and related reports from the World Government.

They also knew about the world-shaking events that Storm had recently accomplished.

Nami and Law are still cleaning up the remnants of the Donquixote Family in the North Sea.

Meanwhile, Storm has already defeated Big Mom and become the Pirate Emperor!

The distance between the crew members and the captain of the Storm Pirates is even greater than the distance between Fish-Man Island and Mary Geoise...

"The new world is indeed too dangerous for us..."

Luo pursed his lips and said rationally.

"But I believe that we now have enough strength to enter the Grand Line."

The pirates of the North Blue pose no threat to the Storm Pirates.

This level of combat couldn't even help Law, Ace, and Kid hone their Haki.

Playing too many easy games won't increase your domineering aura; it might even cause it to fade away...

Notable examples: Crocodile Crocodile, Gecko Moria.

If it were any other time...

People might also feel excited and inspired by Luo's words.

But Perona just mentioned Storm...

A rookie pirate who has just entered the Grand Line and a pirate emperor who reigns over the New World...

The difference is still huge!

"Let's clean up the battlefield first!"

Nami clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention.

"There must be a lot of treasure on Downs Island, right? Let's loot it all!"

Luo nodded, about to agree.

But then Perona suddenly pointed to the sky.

"Look everyone! Doesn't that dragon on the horizon look like a blue-eyed white dragon?"

"Perona, stop mistaking the clouds for captains—"

Ace hadn't finished speaking yet.

Nami, who had just been urging everyone to rob the Donquixote Family's treasure on the island, was the first to ride a cloud and soar into the sky.

Even faster than Nami is Perona, whose soul leaves her body.

The two girls' behavior immediately made the other crew members realize what was happening and look up at the sky.

It really is the captain's Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

The captain is here!!

Guided by the Vivre Card, Storm rode the Blue-Eyes White Dragon at breakneck speed from Totto Land in the Land of Treasures to Downs Island in the North Sea.

"captain!"

"Lord White Dragon~"

Nami and Perona's enthusiastic cheers drifted into Storm's ears on the cold wind high in the sky.

A moment later.

Nami and Perona then appeared on the head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Storm piloted the Blue-Eyes White Dragon downwards, flying directly to the vicinity of the Polar Submarine.

"Sashiburi da na (Long time no see) ~ my crew."

Storm's arrival immediately dispelled the somber atmosphere on the polar diver.

The reason everyone felt disappointed just now.

Aside from the fact that the gap between Storm and the crew is simply too large.

The main reason is because...

Storm almost never leads the group!
