Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 360 Fujitora: I wish to see your face!

Above the skies of the new world.

The main force of the new navy continued their journey, flying rapidly towards the G1 branch.

The Red-Haired Pirates, whom they had just defeated, have now become prisoners of the new Marines.

"Is this the Red-Haired Pirates?"

Looking at the figures inside the "clay cages" on the deck of the warship, Nami couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

"It looks... kind of ordinary, doesn't it?"

"And this red-haired guy—is he disabled? Can a disabled person become a pirate emperor?" Sitting to the side eating soba noodles, he smiled, and suddenly felt that the noodles in his mouth had lost their flavor.

What's wrong with disabled people?

Did the disabled person eat your noodles?

Yixiao gave Nami an angry "look".

Unfortunately, his eyes were too pale for Nami to perceive.

First of all, you have some confidence.

Storm's lips twitched slightly.

"Secondly, you, apologize to Admiral Fujitora."

"General Fujitora?"

Nami was startled and subconsciously looked at Ikko beside her, only to be met with a pair of pale eyes.

"Ah! I'm sorry, Admiral Fujitora! I didn't say a blind person can't be a Marine Admiral!"

Boom!

Storm sighed helplessly, tapped Nami on the head, pressed her head down, and apologized to Fujitora.

To comment on a one-armed man in front of a blind person—...

Little thief cat, you've really gotten too cocky!

Fortunately, Ichisho is a forgiving person, and he knew that Nami didn't mean to target him, so the matter was put behind him.

"A smile."

Storm didn't stop there; he used this topic to bring up another matter.

"By the way, have you considered 'restoring' your eyesight?"

Well known.

The smile came from the inability to bear the countless evils of the sea, which is why the eyes opened.

Although he also honed his Observation Haki as a result.

However, a blind person will still encounter various inconveniences.

As far as Storm knows.

Yixiao has also considered the idea of ​​"restoring her vision in both eyes".

In the normal timeline, Issho, who went to Dressrosa to deal with the Donquixote Family issue, was moved by Luffy's actions and wanted to regain his sight and see Luffy's face.

It's worth mentioning that Yixiao even fantasized about Luffy's appearance—a super-enhanced version of Boa Hancock or Bartolomeo...

To be honest, it's quite abstract.

Back to the present.

Ichisho has joined the new navy.

Based on Storm's experience treating Zefa, he can also help treat and restore Yixiao's eyes.

Today is a good opportunity for him to ask Yixiao about this matter.

Treating the sick and saving lives cannot be done by unilaterally imposing goodwill; it must take into account the patient's own opinions and thoughts, such as "restoring vision?"

Yi Xiao reached out and touched his eyelids.

"Will my old eyes ever be able to see again?"

Seeing Yixiao's attitude, Storm immediately replied, "It should be possible. Would you like to give it a try?"

He smiled, remained silent for a moment, and gently rubbed his temples a few times.

"Then let's give it a try—I also want to see your face, Storm."

From the initial "Haku," to the later "Vongola," and now to "Strom"—

Yixiao has completely accepted the friendship between him and Storm.

This "Pirate Emperor," this "Marshal Candidate," is indeed a friend worth making.

But Storm couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard Yixiao's words.

"What you're saying is really—"

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing—it's my problem."

Storm took a deep breath, stepped forward, reached out and touched Yixiao's forehead, releasing the power of the [Restoration Ring].

Under the effect of the [Restore Fruit], the glaring cross scar on Ikko's forehead quickly disappeared, and his pale eyes gradually regained their vitality.

Time passed little by little.

A smile removed the "eye roll".

A pair of dark, steady eyes appeared in his eye sockets.

"What a long-awaited ray of light!"

Yi Xiao closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, her eyes taking in the surrounding scenery with an almost greedy gaze.

He also used this opportunity to get a clear look at the people standing in front of him.

Aokiji, Nami, Ain, Binz, the Red-Haired Pirates —

There are also the White Dragon Emperor and the Crimson Dragon Emperor!

This appearance...

He's much younger and more handsome than I imagined...

Is this the "storm" that will usher in a new era?

With a smile, he averted his gaze and turned to look at the members of the Red-Haired Pirates inside the "clay cage."

Suddenly I was stunned.

"These pirates—they do look rather ordinary."

Upon hearing this, Nami immediately looked at Storm beside her, her lively eyebrows twitching slightly. She probably meant to say, "See? Admiral Fujitora thinks so too!"

"Is that the main point?"

Storm rolled his eyes at Nami, then extended his right hand, curled his fingers, and gave her a subtle "threat."

"Compared to other Emperor Pirates, the Red-Haired Pirates are indeed closer to 'normal'."

Aokiji, who had been taking a nap wearing an eye mask, suddenly flipped it off and picked up on Fujitora's topic.

"However, General Fujitora, look at Storm—"

"This guy is obviously very ordinary, but he's excessively powerful."

"what?"

He smiled, then looked at Storm and nodded.

"It seems that's indeed the case—"

"I've seen—I mean, 'encountered'—the Big Mom Pirates before, and those pirates were quite 'flashy' in appearance."

"In comparison, both the Dawn Pirates and the Storm Pirates, with the exception of a very few members, are like normal humans."

The "very few members" that Yixiao mentioned refer to Brook.

Fujitora still cannot understand Brook's life form.

One can only marvel at the vastness of the ocean, where anything can happen.

Ikko's serious tone made Aokiji feel somewhat at a loss.

"---General Fujitora, so that's what you think."

"Hmm, isn't Admiral Aokiji the same?"

"--No, actually I was just telling a lame joke."

Nami suddenly felt a cold wind blow by, and she involuntarily shrank her neck.

So this is what a Navy Admiral is like?

In the midst of casual, half-hearted conversation.

Storm and his group finally arrived at the G1 branch.

Under Yixiao's personal control, one naval warship after another floated down from the sky and landed in the waters near the G1 branch.

As for the original icy plain, it also completed its "historical mission" at this time and was casually thrown into the distant sea by Storm.

Zefa was delighted by the arrival of Storm and his group.

What made him even happier was the Red-Haired Pirates that Storm and his crew had captured along the way!

This is the Emperor Pirates!

The new navy had barely been established when it defeated and captured an Emperor Pirate Crew.

Nothing could be happier than this!

"As expected of you, Storm!"

Zephyr's gaze swept over Aokiji and Fujitora, finally settling on Storm, looking at him with great satisfaction.

"First, it's the Big Mom Pirates, then it's the Red-Haired Pirates."

"Of the four original Emperor pirate crews in the New World, two have now been eliminated!"

Hearing this, Aokiji couldn't help but nod slightly.

His and Zephyr's ultimate goal in inviting Storm to join the Blade Force as an undercover agent for the Pirates was to get him into the Emperor Pirates and provide intelligence to the Marine Headquarters.

Although there are some issues with how Storm "joined the Emperor Pirates".

However, the results were ten thousand times, even a hundred million times better than originally envisioned.

Then there's no problem!

"And then there's the Beasts Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates."

Storm remained calm, showing no excessive excitement about his current success.

"Slaying the Emperor's pirate crew was the new Navy's goal all along, wasn't it?"

None of the people present mentioned the "Dawn Pirates" or the "Storm Pirates".

Strictly speaking, the Dawn Pirates and the Storm Pirates can also be considered "Emperor Pirates".

However, Zephyr and the others knew that these two so-called "Emperor Pirate Crews" were actually created by their own people.

One of the New Navy's ambitions is to defeat the Emperor Pirates.

But the Dawn Pirates and the Storm Pirates...

It is not included in this list.

"In addition, there are a few other things I need to discuss with you."

Storm, seeing the captured members of the Red-Haired Pirates, immediately started a small meeting.

"We've captured the Red-Haired Pirates, but they still have a considerable territory in the New World."

"I plan to let the Red Dragon Emperor and the Dawn Pirates take over the Red-Haired Pirates' territory."

The territory of a pirate emperor is basically conquered piece by piece.

But the Red-Haired Pirates are a bit strange.

Because of Shanks' personality, his territory is not as "wealthy" as that of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, or the Big Mom Pirates.

simply put.

The Red-Haired Pirates' territory mainly consists of poor and weak areas that other pirate emperors look down upon.

The forces under the Red-Haired Pirates, especially the "Red-Haired Grand Fleet" under the demons, are mostly composed of the "old, weak, sick, and disabled."

Now, Storm and his crew have defeated the Red-Haired Pirates.

If they don't take over the Red-Haired Pirates' original territory.

According to the rules of the New World.

These territories, originally belonging to the Red-Haired Pirates, will surely become "playgrounds" for other pirates to run rampant at will.

This is a situation that Storm would not have wanted to see.

Zephyr, Aokiji, and Fujitora had also considered this issue. They exchanged glances and nodded in tacit agreement.

Let the Dawn Pirates take over the Red-Haired Pirates' original territory...

That's definitely a good idea.

We can't exactly send the new navy to "plant flags" in the territories of these powers, can we?

The navy has never had the habit of "occupying territory"!

The Navy's "territory" has always only consisted of "bases".

As for the Storm Pirates?

The territory that originally belonged to the Big Mom Pirates has long since taken the shape of the Storm Pirates!

The Storm Pirates' white dragon flag has now been planted in the skies above many islands in the New World, no longer just Dressrosa.

Therefore, instead of proposing that the Storm Pirates take over the Red-Haired Pirates' territory, Storm suggested that the Dawn Pirates plant their flag.

There are still many issues to be addressed after completely capturing the Red-Haired Pirates.

Fortunately, Storm has experience in this area.

After a period of discussion, Storm, Zephyr, and others roughly determined a solution to the closing problem.

Basically, it can be summarized as -

Let the new navy save face!

The real money went to Storm!

The "wealth" represented by the Red-Haired Pirates was thus divided up by Strom and the new Navy.

"Oh, right, there's something else I should mention."

As Storm finished speaking, he suddenly remembered someone.

"About the world's greatest swordsman—Hawkeye Mihawk!"
