Who told him to become the Pirate King!

"Vongola Storm!"

A figure rapidly descended from the clouds, and Kizaru landed steadily beside the unconscious Zephyr who was coughing up blood.

He checked Zefa's condition while glaring at Storm.

"You went way too far!"

Zefa's health is not good.

This is something that is almost common knowledge among the naval leadership.

Kizaru knew this too.

However, he never expected that Zephyr would suddenly fall ill during today's battle.

If Zephyr really does die from an illness caused by what happened today—"

Kizaru had no idea how he was going to face Storm next.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

Storm also appeared beside Zephyr in a flash, calmly looking at Kizaru.

"Now, get out of my way!"

"Are you a doctor? Can you make a proper diagnosis?"

Kizaru's expression froze for a moment, and he silently withdrew his hand.

After a brief examination, he had determined that Professor Zephyr's vomiting of blood and unconsciousness were not due to severe impact injuries; at least, there were no "hard injuries" in his body such as "fractured bones."

This means that Zefa's vomiting of blood and unconsciousness were purely due to the flare-up of an old injury.

This is a problem that even Kizaru can't solve.

But Storm might not be.

After all, Kizaru had just witnessed Storm helping Zephyr "regenerate his severed limbs".

Nami, Ian, and Binz also hurriedly flew down from the sky.

But Storm didn't have the energy to pay attention to these people for the time being. He extended his right hand to Zephyr and silently released the power of the [Recovery Fruit], attempting to help Zephyr recover through the power of this top-tier medical Devil Fruit.

The ability of the [Restore Fruit] helps objects restore their original state.

Thanks to Storm's ability, the minor injuries Zephyr sustained in the recent battle were immediately and completely healed, but he was still very weak.

It seems the [Restore Fruit] can't heal this kind of hidden injury... "Or maybe it's because I haven't developed it enough..."

Storm's greatest hope for the "Restore Fruit" was that it could allow someone—to be precise, an old man—to be restored to his prime.

Aside from a few exceptional cases.

Those who are powerful in the ocean are almost always subject to the "curse of time," and their strength tends to diminish as they age.

However, the peak strength of most powerful beings in the ocean lasts for an incredibly long time. Even in their sixties or seventies, they still appear to be in their prime, making it easy for people to overlook this "curse of time."

Perhaps the [Restore Fruit] can help break free from this "curse of time"

We've gone off on a tangent...

Seeing that the [Restore Fruit] was not having the desired healing effect, Storm had a change of heart and began to use the power of another demon ring.

【The Tanuki Ring】!

Suddenly, a bright green leaf appeared out of thin air in Storm's hand, and in an instant, the leaf transformed into a petite blonde girl.

Copycat Mansherry, a user of the Paramecia-type Heal-Heal Fruit.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise.

The Restoration Fruit is indeed a top-tier healing-type Devil Fruit, but its power focuses on...

recovery".

However, the main ability of the Healing Fruit is to "heal living beings"!

"Mansherry".

Storm nodded to the clone of Princess Mansherry, whom he was meeting for the first time.

"Please help treat Professor Zephyr."

Normally, the clones created by the [Bake-tanuki Fruit] will obey the commands of the user.

However, if the ability user's commands differ too much from the clone's original personality...

For example, they created a Kizaru, but made him work obediently.

For example, a smile was created, but it made it absolutely forbidden for him to gamble;

These clones might instead choose to "rebel".

Fortunately, Mansherry herself has a gentle personality (Leo: FakeNews).

Mansherry, the clone created from the [Bake-tanuki Fruit], is also an obedient little princess.

Under Storm's orders, the clone Mansherry unhesitatingly unleashed the power of the Healing Fruit to begin healing Zephyr.

Under the healing power of the [Healing Fruit], Zephyr's breathing quickly returned to normal, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"This is"

As soon as Zefa opened his eyes, he saw a large group of people surrounding him, as well as the blonde dwarf girl being held in the palm of Storm's hand.

The clone, Mansherry, ignored Zefa and turned to look at Strom. She gently lifted the hem of her princess dress and bowed to the creator, a sweet smile appearing on her small, delicate face.

"I have fulfilled my mission, Lord Storm."

"Thank you so much."

Storm responded seriously.

The moment he finished speaking.

After bowing, the clone, Mansherry, exploded into tiny specks of light.

Clearly, her time of existence has come to an end.

Even so, a thought involuntarily popped into Storm's mind.

The [Tanuki Fruit] is really useful!

Nami, Ian, and Binz, being relatively inexperienced, failed to recognize the uniqueness and power of the clone, Mansherry.

However, Kizaru immediately recognized the strength of this inexplicably appearing blonde tontatta girl.

That's really scary... Storm...

Kizaru glanced at Storm, but didn't say anything more.

He simply crossed his arms, looking down at Zefa who was still lying on the ice field, not yet up, and said with a smile.

"Zeffe-sensei, even someone as skilled in hand-to-hand combat as you is no match for Storm~"

The strange, unsettling aura emanating from Kizaru.

Even Nami, Ian, and Binz felt it.

Zefa immediately got up from the ice, but as he stood up, he clearly felt his body was filled with unprecedented vitality.

It was as if there had never been a fight, or that the illness had never occurred.

Instead, after taking a hot bath in the hot spring, having a big meal, and having a good night's sleep, I felt like I was in peak condition.

It was precisely because of this overly healthy physical condition that Zephyr completely ignored the eccentric Borsalino.

After all, if he didn't use sarcastic and unsettling language, would Kizaru still be Kizaru?

"Strom?"

Zefa looked around and immediately identified the "suspect," saying with a sigh.

"You saved me again—"

In Zephyr's view, among the people present, the only one who had the ability to heal him was Storm.

This child, this marine, has grown into a truly outstanding and exceptional man. "It's just emergency treatment."

Storm smiled and immediately offered his suggestion.

"Zeff, why don't you come with me to Vegapunk's place for a comprehensive physical examination later?"

Don't let Vegapunk's scientific prowess fool you; his medical skills are equally impressive!

"You really need to get treatment for this illness!"

Zefa opened his mouth, about to refuse, but his reason was the same: he knew his own physical condition best.

But before Zefa could finish speaking, Storm added another sentence.

"Professor Zephyr, you wouldn't want the new Navy to be established so soon, only for its creator and its Fleet Admiral to pass away unexpectedly, would you?"

This is also something that Storm is very worried about.

The new navy's vast responsibilities cannot be separated from Zephyr.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

Zephyr is the "stabilizing force" of the new navy!

In Storm's plan.

After the establishment of the new navy, Zephyr naturally took on the position of commander-in-chief.

Below Zephyr are Aokiji and Issho, the two "new Marine Admirals".

In that case...

The new navy consists of one admiral (Zeff) and two generals (Aokiji and Fujitora).

The old Navy consisted of one Fleet Admiral (Sengoku) and two Admirals (Akainu and Kizaru).

This is just enough to create a standoff.

As for Storm.

He once dreamed of becoming a naval admiral.

But can a pirate emperor also serve as a marine admiral?

It doesn't seem quite right...

Then Storm will have no choice but to reluctantly assume the role of "Commander-in-Chief of the All Nations"!

What is meant by "All Nations Army"?

Of course, it's the combined forces of the New Navy, the Dawn Pirates, the Storm Pirates, and the King of the Underworld!

However, it seems that...

It seems that there will be one more person, Kizaru, in the new Navy's "Admiral" position.

However, this doesn't have much of an impact.

Because in the old navy there was also a "naval hero" who was not an admiral but was better than an admiral—Garp.

It seems we can maintain a stalemate for now, right?

After hearing Storm's words, "You don't want to either—."

Zefa swallowed back the words of refusal that were about to come out of his mouth.

As the initiator of the new navy—or rather, the naval guerrilla force—how could Zefa not want to see the new navy grow bigger and stronger?

and.

The memory of coughing up blood and falling unconscious during the battle flashed through Zephyr's mind.

His physical condition—it seems he really can't afford to delay any longer.

Zephyr slowly nodded, intending to go see Vegapunk later.

Seeing this, Storm did not delay any longer. He raised his right hand, and a red thread flew out from his wrist, transforming into a gigantic crimson dragon in the sky.

The Crimson Dragon Emperor makes his appearance!

The Crimson Dragon Emperor released a ribbon of orange-yellow flames that directly wrapped around a fragment of ice on the sea below.

Storm and his group, including the warship that Zephyr and the other naval personnel had previously been on, were all on this ice field.

The Crimson Dragon Emperor exerted his strength, and the flaming cloud ribbons directly pulled up the small ice field, dragging it into the sky.

Storm skillfully summoned two "tools".

?

A copy of a smile.

Copycat Ryan.

With the combined effects of the "Heavy-Heavy Fruit" and the "Float-Float Fruit," the weight of the ice field was greatly reduced.

The Crimson Dragon Emperor dragged this small patch of ice, flying at breakneck speed towards Totto Land, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Kingdoms.

As Kizaru gazed at the crimson dragon ahead, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his brow.

"That's really scary~"
