Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 388 The Birth of Kaido II!

Chapter 388 The Birth of Kaido Jr. of the Beasts!

From among all the Zoan-type Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits, Storm picked up the only Mythical Zoan-type.

The Grand Prix Cup then revealed its true name.

[Zoan Type, Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Shuten-dōji Form]

This Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit grants the user the ability to transform into the legendary great demon "Shuten-dōji" and utilize all of Shuten-dōji's extraordinary abilities.

To be fair...

Compared to the Mythical Zoan-type Yamawaro Fruit that the World Government previously offered to trade with Storm.

This [Mythical Zoan type - Shuten-dōji Fruit] is far superior in both fame and ability.

After all, he was a legendary great monster.

Shuten-dōji's status in the local legends of monsters is nearing its peak.

In comparison, the "Mountain Child" is undoubtedly far inferior.

This Mythical Zoan type Shuten-dōji Fruit also demonstrates the importance the World Government places on this exchange with the Beasts Pirates.

It's not just because it's a rare and precious Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.

Furthermore, in the legends of yokai, Shuten-dōji belongs to the "Oni" race.

And coincidentally...

Kaido of the Beasts is also a demon!

The World Government's gift of the Mythical Zoan type Shuten-dōji Fruit to Kaido of the Beasts was undoubtedly a thoughtful gesture.

Storm looked at the Mythical Zoan type Shuten-dōji fruit in his hand, his expression quite subtle.

He admitted that it was indeed a powerful Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

Even if it can't compare to the [Nika Fruit], [Azure Dragon Fruit], or [Bake-tanuki Fruit]—"

However, even within the category of Mythical Zoan types, the quality of the [Shuten-dōji Fruit] is considered top-notch.

It's at least much stronger than that indescribable [Mythical Beast - Great Enlightenment Fruit].

There are only two things that are troubling Storm.

One question is, why is this thing another "Human-Human Fruit"?!

Another one is... how come this thing is another "fire-playing fruit"?

Isn't it said that Mythical Zoan types are even rarer than Logia types?

Storm could think of many [Human-Human Fruit - Mythical Zoan] after a quick thought.

【Nika Fruit】, 【Buddha Fruit】, 【Great Entrance Fruit】, 【Mountain Child Fruit】---plus this 【Shuten-dōji Fruit】.

There are already countless [Human-Human Fruit - Mythical Zoan] that Storm has seen!

He truly felt sorry (or rather, amused) for the reindeer who had eaten the [Human-Human Fruit - Common Type - Ordinary Person Form].

Passing (pleased).

Everyone is eating the "Human Fruit", so why is there such a big difference?

Why isn't there a [Zoan type, Human-Human Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Caveman form]?

As for the so-called "Fire-Playing Fruit"

Storm was already speechless with frustration.

As a legendary great demon, Shuten-dōji naturally possessed the ability to control fire.

This legendary ability is embodied in the [Shuten-dōji Fruit], and its manifestation is, of course, "fire control".

At least according to the records in the "Devil Fruit Encyclopedia".

It is clearly stated that the [Shuten-dōji Fruit] allows him to "play with fire".

All I can say is that it's truly a shared experience for everyone, a way to burn the fruits of labor?

Storm put aside his distracting thoughts and decisively accepted the [Mythical Zoan Type: Shuten-dōji Fruit].

No matter what, this is a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, and a top-tier one at that.

Even if Storm himself doesn't need it.

If this Devil Fruit is given to someone else, it can quickly create a powerful individual with considerable strength.

The person who obtains the [Shuten-dōji Fruit] must possess considerable talent and temperament.

It might even create a powerful individual capable of reaching the top level!

to be honest.

Some Devil Fruits do indeed possess this "god-making" ability!

Storm hasn't decided yet who to give the Mythical Zoan type Shuten-dōji fruit to.

The Dawn Pirates are all "Devil Fruit users" (approximately).

The Storm Pirates also have a large number of Devil Fruit users.

It seems that this [Shuten-dōji Fruit] cannot be "digested internally" at present.

However, Storm didn't dwell on the issue too much.

If he really wants to use this [Shuten-dōji Fruit].

The Dawn Pirates can now add another "senior officer"!

"Let's put it away for now!"

Storm placed the [Shuten-dōji Fruit] into his [Gate of Babylon].

Along with the remaining Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruits that the World Government used for the trade, as well as other treasures, they were also included.

These treasures are his now!

Storm allowed the Golden Lion II to control the flight direction of the uninhabited island.

He has now severed one of the World Government's "tentacles" that it was extending into the New World.

The World Government will definitely take further action, but Kizaru still needs to investigate further.

Now Storm can no longer wait for a response from the World Government.

However, this way...

This frees up Storm to deal with another problem he encountered earlier.

The problem with Kaido of the Beasts.

To be precise, it's a problem with Wano Country!

Storm learned some information from Kizaru.

The World Government seems to have misunderstood his relationship with Kaido of the Beasts.

Kaido of the Beasts entered Whole Cake Island and then completely disappeared...

The World Government mistakenly believed that Kaido of the Beasts and the White Dragon Emperor had reached some kind of secret relationship.

Storm felt that the World Government looked down on him, so how could he possibly accept Kaido of the Beasts?

But since the world government has doubts—

After careful consideration, Storm decided to confirm the World Government's suspicions.

He is indeed going to cooperate with "Kaido of the Beasts"!

However, they are not the real beasts.

"I've chosen you!"

Storm swung his right hand, and a clay ball was thrown out.

"The Second Generation of Beasts!"

The clay sphere expanded and changed the moment it hit the ground, until it transformed into a lifelike "

"Kaido of the Beasts".

Thick white demon horns, long, thin black beard, and intricate dragon scale tattoos —

Storm can guarantee that.

Even if Kaido's "favorite son" were to appear, it would be impossible to tell the difference between this Beast II and her biological father's appearance!

Storm nodded in satisfaction.

In our plan to conquer Wano Country, we have decided to send out "Kaido of the Beasts"!

The Dawn Pirates charged headlong toward Wano Country.

the other side.

Red Earth, Mary Geoise.

There was a deathly silence within the power structure.

The Five Elders looked down at Kizaru, who was covered in charred marks, and felt a splitting headache.

"Kizaru!"

"I am here."

"Where is Figarand Grindelwald?"

"I've already answered that question once."

Kizaru sighed and looked at Nasujuro Sei, who had asked the question, and said with feigned helplessness.

"Our crew encountered the Dawn Pirates in the New World, and they attacked our ship—"

Encountering pirates in the New World is a very normal thing.

It's perfectly normal for pirates to attack World Government warships.

So, Kizaru is fine.

"The Dawn Pirates!"

Nasujiro Sei said through gritted teeth.

"How did you suddenly run into those guys?"

"Why are you the only one who escaped back?"

The World Government has lost a shipload of treasure—…

This is just a minor issue.

The Supreme Commander of the Knights of God, Figaland Gringus, is dead—

This is a minor issue—okay.

That doesn't seem quite right; let's say it's a medium-sized problem.

The death of a top-tier combatant is a big problem, but not as big as imagined.

What is the biggest problem?

It's because Lord Im's orders cannot be fulfilled!

That's the biggest problem!

Nassou-ro Seishin was in a terrible headache.

"We were just sailing normally when we ran into the main force of the Dawn Pirates~"

Kizaru tilted his head, still using his usual slick tone, but there wasn't a trace of a smile on his face.

"Five Elders, were you just questioning my stance?"

Correct!

I betrayed them!

Get me out of the navy right now!

I'm going to the New World to join the Marshal Candidate!

If we don't hurry up, we won't get any credit for clearing out the great pirates of the New World!

A little drama was playing out in Kizaru's mind.

Nasujiro was very dissatisfied with the attitude of this naval admiral, but he could not express his anger.

If I were to scold Kizaru now...

This guy ran away and joined the new Navy, becoming "Aokiji No. 2".

How will the navy survive?!

We can't expect Sengoku and Akainu to carry the Navy, can we?

Can they manage it?

"No, I have never doubted your position."

Despite his inner turmoil, Nasujiro managed to force out an awkward smile.

"But isn't your description of that Whitebeard II a bit of an exaggeration?"

In Kizaru's report.

Whitebeard II almost single-handedly defeated him, along with Grimm's Ancient Saint.

Especially Grimm.

As the supreme commander of the Knights of God, he was defeated by Whitebeard II without even the slightest means of resistance, as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

As for Kizaru, if he hadn't eaten the [Glint-Glint Fruit], he probably wouldn't have even been able to escape.

Is this description even plausible?

Even the real Whitebeard couldn't do what Whitebeard Jr. did, right?

And then again...

When did so many top-tier experts capable of taking on two opponents at once appear on the high seas?

Red Dragon Emperor, White Dragon King, Whitebeard II—"

Monsters appear every year, but this year they seem particularly strong?

Upon hearing Nasujiro's question, Kizaru silently glanced at Marcus Mazsan, who was sitting to the side.

He didn't seem to say anything.

But it seems like they've said everything.

Markus Mazsan noticed Kizaru's gaze and couldn't help but twitch his lips, his long, goat-like beard trembling a few times.

Dead memories are relentlessly attacking his sense of shame.
