Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 38 Who Made Him Do This Undercover?! (Please Read On! Please Vote!)

"The second [Devil Ring]!"

Storm reached out and grasped the silver-gray ring that was floating silently in the air, his excitement evident.

"The six-star Diamond Cup allows you to wish for a six-star Devil Ring (Imitation)!"

Storm held his breath and carefully examined the specific effects of the [Demon Ring - Imitation].

Generally speaking.

The six-star [Demon Ring - Imitation] retains the most basic functions of a "ring".

That is, you can use the power of a Devil Fruit without eating it!

Based on this alone, Storm felt that his wish for the six-star diamond trophy was worthwhile!

However, the [Demon Ring - Imitation] is only a six-star item.

Compared to the original nine-star item, the [Demon Ring].

The drawback of the [Demon Ring - Imitation] is very obvious: it does not have a near-"infinite" supply of natural energy to consume.

According to the Grand Prix Cup.

The Demon Ring (Imitation) can provide energy up to the level of Awakening.

This means that the [Demon Ring - Imitation] can only unleash its full power at a maximum of six stars!

Once the power of a Devil Fruit's release exceeds the limit, that is, it surpasses the six-star level.

Then the [Devil Ring - Imitation] will be at risk of being damaged.

The [Devil Ring - Imitation] does not have the [Unbreakable] effect of the original [Devil Ring].

Its wear resistance is significantly lower than that of a genuine "Devil Ring".

However, as a six-star item, the durability of the [Demon Ring - Imitation] is still well guaranteed.

It's like the "supreme slippers" of some sun god who wishes to remain anonymous!

Overall.

Storm was very satisfied with the effect of the [Demon Ring - Imitation].

This is ultimately just an item obtained by wishing with a six-star diamond trophy, so it's already quite good that it has this effect.

At least the [Devil Ring - Imitation] can unleash the power of an awakened-level Devil Fruit!

Looking out over the entire ocean.

The threshold of "awakening" has limited and killed countless powerful individuals.

The [Devil Ring - Imitation] can directly unleash the power of an awakened Devil Fruit.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

This surpasses 99% of the people on the high seas!

Without hesitation, Storm put on the [Devil Ring - Imitation].

He glanced at the two [Devil Rings], then at the three Devil Fruits in front of him.

Now comes the problem.

Including the real [Demon Ring], Storm only possesses two "rings".

He currently possesses four Devil Fruits!

Clay Fruit, Chameleon Fruit, Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit, and Momo-Momo Fruit.

Even excluding the Chameleon Fruit.

Storm also has three Devil Fruits for him to use.

He has already developed the Clay-Clay Fruit to a seven-star level, and he cannot give up this "ace fruit".

As for the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit and the Momo-Momo Fruit...

Both of these Devil Fruits are very powerful, and Storm is unwilling to give up either of them.

of course.

From an economic perspective...

Storm himself can also eat a Devil Fruit.

With the help of two [Demon Rings].

Storm can use three different Devil Fruit abilities at the same time.

However, this should be done if it can be avoided.

Who would add a fatal weakness to themselves for no reason?

"That's why children make choices; adults want it all!"

Storm took a deep breath and immediately summoned the Diamond Trophy of [San Juan Wolf].

He just used up [Katrina Deppon]'s Blood Diamond Trophy.

The remaining two diamond trophies were originally intended for the [Endurance] attribute.

But now...

"The diamond trophy is gone, but I can earn it again later!"

Storm didn't hesitate to use the San Juan Wolf's Diamond Trophy to make a wish.

"It would be foolish not to use a powerful Devil Fruit!"

In no time at all.

A third [Demon Ring] appeared out of thin air in front of Storm.

Also a six-star [Demon Ring - Imitation]!

Storm donned the third [Devil Ring] and skillfully absorbed the powers of the two Devil Fruits in front of him.

Not long after.

Two new Devil Fruit abilities appeared in Storm's ability list.

【Momo Fruit: ☆】

Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit: ☆

"No prick! Not a needle prick!"

Looking at the two newly appeared Devil Fruit abilities, Storm summoned several five-star Platinum Trophy cups.

"Big trophy! Extra points!!"

A platinum trophy that elevates Devil Fruit abilities to five stars.

Two more trophies, raising the level of the Devil Fruit to Awakening!

Storm threw six platinum trophies into two Devil Fruits, and they instantly transformed into—

【Momo Fruit: ★★★★★★】

Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit: ★★★★★★

Storm's journey of adding points is not over yet.

He still intends to reserve the last remaining Diamond Trophy for the Endurance attribute.

Since he didn't have enough food reserves at the moment, he wasn't in a hurry to add points to his [Physique].

However, there's no need to wait for other ability points to be allocated!

Storm readily bestowed four Platinum Trophies upon the [Domineering] attribute.

[Armament Haki/Observation Haki: ★★★★★★]

He glanced at his own ability panel, considered for a moment, and then turned his attention to the Six Styles.

[Six Styles: ★★★★★★]

Platinum trophies are being consumed like water.

Storm consumed a total of twenty-two five-star trophies in one go.

He glanced at the four remaining platinum trophies, then looked around at his own abilities.

"Flowers! Flowers! Out with the old, in with the new!"

[Life Return/Swordsmanship: ★★★★★★]

After a series of maneuvers, Storm spent all the five-star trophies.

However, all of his basic attributes and abilities have been upgraded to six stars!

If Storm was previously just a "triangle warrior"...

At this point, he would definitely be a "hexagonal warrior"!

Physique, domineering aura, Devil Fruit... He's so powerful he has no weaknesses!

"Hmm, it doesn't quite qualify as a 'hexagon,' it's missing one more thing: [Conqueror's Haki]!"

Storm glanced at the still unawakened [Conqueror's Haki].

"That must be the 'Pentagram Warrior'!"

Having successfully completed the skill point allocation, Storm did not intend to immediately adapt to and digest these enhanced abilities.

He had just finished a major battle and "escaped" from Impel Down, and wanted to rest for a while.

"Let's find a populated island first!"

Storm looked around.

Blue sky, white clouds, and an endless sea.

"Where am I?!"

……

Just as Storm was "lost in the air".

the other side.

The news that "an unprecedented riot has broken out in Impel Down" was quickly relayed to the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.

Marineford, headquarters building.

There was a rapid knocking on the door of the marshal's office.

Sengoku the Buddha, then Fleet Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, casually handed a secret document to the goat next to him.

"Please come in."

A naval messenger with a green afro rushed into the room.

"Is it Brannew?"

Sengoku recognized the other party's identity and greeted him amicably.

"Is it your shift today?"

"Reporting to Marshal Zhan Guo!"

Brannew bowed respectfully to Sengoku, then hurriedly spoke.

"Imperial City is calling! An unprecedented and heinous incident has occurred inside the Deep Sea Impel Down!"

Impel Down?!

The relaxed expression on Sengoku's face vanished instantly.

"What happened there? Did another prisoner escape from Infinite Hell?"

Although Impel Down was known as an "impregnable fortress," no prisoner ever escaped from it.

However, this is merely the official statement.

According to the intelligence information available during the Warring States period.

Let's not talk about things further back.

More than a decade ago, Shiki the Golden Lion escaped from Impel Down!

Even the endless hell cannot contain him!

I just don't know why, in the following ten years or so...

Shiki the Golden Lion has never appeared on the high seas.

A recent news item related to it.

After leaving Impel Down, Shiki the Golden Lion immediately went to the New World and had a brief meeting with Whitebeard.

Then this vicious and ruthless pirate vanished as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, completely disappearing from the world's sight...

Now, another heinous incident has occurred in the city.

Could it be another prisoner escape from the infinite hell?

Is it Douglas Barrett, the heir of the devil?

Or is it the lone red punk Redfield?

The other underlings probably wouldn't be a match for Magellan...

"No one can escape from the infinite hell."

Brannew reported to his superior meticulously.

"However, the current state of Infinite Hell is extremely tragic."

The Warring States period looked puzzled.

"Miserable?"

"In the end, the vast majority of prisoners held in the Infinite Hell were killed."

"Brandy said."

"According to the list sent from Impel Down, the final number of surviving prisoners in Infinite Hell is no more than ten..."

"How is that possible..."

Sengoku instinctively wanted to deny this information.

"Could it be that Magellan is wreaking havoc in the infinite hell?"

"Magellan did indeed unleash the 'Poison Giant' within the Infinite Hell."

Brannew relayed this.

"According to subsequent investigations, some prisoners died from the super-toxic poison of the 'Poison Giant Soldier'."

Magellan expressed deep remorse and said he would be willing to commit seppuku if the government approved it.

"Don't let him do anything foolish!"

"Warring States period," he said hastily.

"But why would Magellan do that?"

"It's because someone else started a massacre in the Infinite Hell beforehand."

"Brandy said."

"He's the one who emptied almost the entire Infinite Hell!"

"Who?"

"Vongola Storm!"

The name Zhan Guo seemed vaguely familiar.

A moment later, he suddenly remembered.

Isn't this guy a member of SWORD?

Aokiji also arranged for him to become an undercover agent for the pirate camp.

but……

Who told him to go undercover like that!
