Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 379 A new artificial Mythical Zoan type, Azure Dragon Fruit, is coming!

Nine-star Conqueror's Haki can "seal abilities".

A nine-star level of Observation Haki allows one to "listen to all things".

Nine-star Armament Haki can provide "absolute defense".

"Teacher Bai Shou was right."

Storm clearly felt the Armament Haki flowing through his body, and an excited expression appeared on his face.

"Only with domineering aura can one transcend everything!"

Storm has temporarily put aside his plan to continue hunting for the eight-star [Moonlight Trophy].

The new navy's leaders are now all concentrated in New Marineford and won't run away.

As long as Storm needs it, he can quickly obtain the [Moonlight Trophy] from Zephyr, Aokiji, and Fujitora.

For now, he should focus on quickly mastering this nine-star [Armament Haki] power!

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon flapped its wings and swooped down towards the Cake City of Totto Land below, arriving at Cake Castle.

"Lord Storm!"

Perona flew over anxiously, her body passing directly through layers of walls, clearly in a "soul state".

"Is Lord Moria alright?"

Although Perona has joined the Storm Pirates.

But Gecko Moria was, after all, her "adoptive father".

The bond between Perona and Moria is quite strong.

Just now, Gecko Moria noticed Kaido's attack and rushed into the sky, eager to take revenge on Kaido.

The Shadow-Shadow Fruit's power was activated too stealthily; Perona couldn't stop it in time and could only watch helplessly as Gecko Moria interfered in the battle between the two pirate emperors.

Just now, Perona saw many more "shadows" drifting down into Totto Land.

Princess Mononoke, who was familiar with Gecko Moria's Devil Fruit abilities, immediately realized something was wrong.

Lord Moria lost to Kaido of the Beasts again!

"Don't worry, you won't die."

With a slight thought, Storm swung the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's tail and lifted the heavily injured and unconscious Gecko Moria.

"As long as there are enough bandages, Moria can slowly recover."

The Supreme Bandage is highly praised by everyone who has used it, from naval admirals to ordinary civilians.

If Storm uses the [Restore Fruit], he can heal Gecko Moria on the spot.

However, he felt it would be better to let Gecko Moria take the opportunity to recover from his injuries and calm down for a while.

Gecko Moria's obsession with Kaido of the Beasts runs too deep.

Perona clearly thought so too.

"Lord Storm is so kind!"

Perona first looked at Strom with immense gratitude, then glared angrily at Moonlight Moria.

"Lord Moria, really! You're so naughty!"

A little girl commented that he was "naughty".

If Gecko Moria were still conscious, he would surely feel extremely ashamed.

"To be ranked alongside a guy like that as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is truly a disgrace."

Just then, a cold voice came from the side.

A sandstorm raged, and a sand crocodile with a cigar in its mouth suddenly appeared, frowning as it looked at Moonlight Moria.

"No, the word 'shame' alone is completely insufficient to describe how I feel right now."

"Disgrace? Ha—"

Storm rolled his eyes at the sand crocodile and gave a cold laugh.

"If you met Whitebeard, you might not perform better than Moria."

Gecko Moria versus Kaido of the Beasts.

Although he was still knocked down with a single blow, his increase in strength was still "visible to the naked eye".

If we rely solely on hard power...

The Gecko Moria who previously possessed the shadows of countless powerful figures was still above Crocodile!

After a year.

The sand crocodile trained diligently and regained much of its former strength.

He's at least no longer that useless Shichibukai who couldn't even unleash Armament Haki.

But even Crocodile back then could only be described as "a defeated opponent of the Emperor".

Moreover, they were all challenging the Pirate Emperor.

Although Gecko Moria lost all his companions.

But the sand crocodile lost an arm!

cough cough...

That's basically the gist of it.

At least from Storm's perspective, Crocodile has no right to mock Gecko Moria.

Upon hearing Storm's words, Crocodile's face immediately darkened.

He was very angry, but couldn't find any way to refute it.

Just as Kaido of the Beasts is Gecko Moria's "inner demon".

Whitebeard is also Crocodile's "Nightmare".

A nightmare, a recurring haunting of Crocodile's mind for over a decade.

Honestly.

If it had been Whitebeard instead of Kaido of the Beasts who just arrived at Whole Cake Island.

Crocodile wasn't sure if he was calmer than Gecko Moria.

"snort!"

Crocodile simply snorted coldly, ignoring this boring "comparison topic".

What kind of trash is Gecko Moria?

How dare he be compared to that sand crocodile?

"In short, White Dragon."

Crocodile took a deep drag on his cigar, exhaling a cloud of grayish-white smoke.

"Now that you've dealt with Kaido of the Beasts, shouldn't it be Whitebeard's turn next?"

Crocodile has entered the New World and settled in Whole Cake Island, with only one goal: to exact revenge on the Whitebeard Pirates!

However, Storm had been busy dealing with the new navy and hadn't had time to deal with the two pirate emperors.

The sand crocodile could only force itself to endure it.

We can't exactly send him to fight Whitebeard one-on-one, can we?!

What level of pirate is he?

Without [Pluto], without the assistance of the White Dragon —

Who has the right to challenge Whitebeard again?

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

Storm raised his hands and pressed them lightly twice to soothe the sand crocodile.

"Kaido of the Beasts delivered himself to our doorstep. You can't expect Whitebeard to come to Whole Cake Island on his own initiative like this guy, can you?"

"If you really have nothing to do here, I can give you a suggestion."

"First, we need to eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates' external forces, namely the affiliated pirate crews of the 'Whitebeard Grand Fleet.'"

A subordinate force of the Beasts Pirates.

Storm has already considered how to handle the situation and there is no need to involve Crocodile.

As for the Whitebeard Pirates...

Storm will definitely have to deal with this Emperor Pirates in the future.

Now that he's assigning tasks to Crocodile, it can be seen as a precautionary measure.

"Good idea."

Upon hearing this, the crocodile's eyes lit up.

He didn't come to the new world alone; he brought with him the elite of the Baroque Workshop.

Back then, Crocodile was a lone wolf who didn't have any power or influence.

This can be seen from the bounty on Crocodile.

A guy who could barely be considered "from the old era," a guy who fought Barrett to a draw and even had the guts to challenge Whitebeard, had a bounty of less than 100 million Berries.

To be precise, it's 8100 million peles.

What does this mean?

Storm's Blue-Eyes White Dragon now has a higher bounty than Crocodile!

(The World Government has not yet revoked Crocodile's and Gecko Moria's status as Shichibukai.)

But now, Crocodile is still thinking about revenge against Whitebeard, but he can't give up Baroque Works, which he has been running for more than ten years.

A Baroque Gustav, and several high-ranking agents from Baroque Works.

This is the strength of Crocodile's team today!

Such a pirate crew, even in today's New World, could barely be considered a "third-rate force, with the New Navy being the first-rate one."

The second-rate one is the Pirate Emperor.

Third-rate, but not weak at all!

Following Storm's advice, Crocodile immediately began to act.

Facing the Whitebeard Pirates head-on... Crocodile simply couldn't do that.

If he dares to go up, Whitebeard will be wiped out!

The sand crocodile once acted like a reckless fool and lost an arm.

He doesn't want to do anything foolish anymore.

but.

The main force of the Whitebeard Pirates cannot be moved.

This does not mean that the Whitebeard Pirates' affiliated forces are off-limits.

It's like a rookie pirate who has just "left" the Whitebeard Pirates and is now free to roam the seas.

"The Whitebeard Pirates, Second Division Commander, Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard)"

The name slowly surfaced in the mind of the sand crocodile.

He gathered a great deal of intelligence about the Whitebeard Pirates.

But I'm not really familiar with this "Blackbeard Teach".

This guy looks like he jumped out of a rock—

One day, he suddenly became the second division captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.

It's important to know that before "Blackbeard Teach" rose to power, this guy didn't even carry a single charge.

Pele's bounty!

"Could he be a hidden member of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

After thinking for a moment, the crocodile decided to give up.

He was quite interested in "Blackbeard Teach" and the "Blackbeard Pirates".

The sand crocodile dared not touch the white-bearded man.

Are you sure you don't dare touch Blackbeard?

The Baroque Gustav, carrying the Sand Crocodile's dream of revenge, embarked on a sea voyage.

Storm didn't give any additional instructions.

He was quite confident in Lao Sha's abilities.

Although this old Sha is not the old Sha who will later have his mentality broken by the Straw Hat Boy and then go through a "Dragon Field Enlightenment".

However, this sand crocodile, too, had its spirit broken by Storm, but was also rekindled by him in its fighting spirit. To draw a rough analogy...

At this point, Crocodile was comparable to the Crocodile of the Cross Guild in the normal timeline.

That was a genuine "Royal Vice-President" (just kidding).

Emperor Father!

According to Storm.

As long as Crocodile doesn't go off to provoke the Whitebeard Pirates' main crew this time.

Then the entire new world can be "flattened" by the sand crocodile.

Or else?

The most dangerous person in the New World is the Pirate Emperor.

Could it be BIGMOM, Shanks, or Beasts?

They've all been taken by Storm!

So, Crocodile, how could he possibly lose?

Storm bid farewell to Crocodile, then, carrying the Gyarados he had just captured, turned and went to find Vegapunk.

As a prisoner, Kaido of the Beasts is significant not only because of his "Moonlight Trophy," but also because of his "bloodline factor."

"Dr. Vegapunk, how many artificial Azure Dragon Fruits can be extracted from this Kaido of the Beasts?"
