Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 41 What King Did You Just Say You Dreamed of Becoming? (Please Read On! Please Vote!)

"South China Sea……"

Storm looked up at the sky, a profound sense of separation welling up inside him.

Before landing on the island, he was still thinking about how to recruit subordinates, how to break into the New World, and how to fight against the Four Emperors;

After landing on the island, let alone rushing into the New World, he has already broken out of the Calm Belt and crossed the Grand Line!

What the hell is the South China Sea?!

Storm was bewildered by the wind.

This feeling is like everyone imagining how earth-shattering the battle between the Four Emperors would be...

Turning around, he saw the two short pirate emperors grabbing each other's collars and choking each other in the middle of the main street of Loguetown...

This scene is absolutely absurd!

OK.

come all come...

Storm shook his head, dismissing the irrelevant thoughts from his mind.

He pulled a 10,000-beli banknote from his pocket—the remaining portion of his unspent marine salary.

"I need a local guide and to ask about some things."

In front of everyone, Storm waved the ten thousand yuan in his hand.

"Is anyone willing to take on this job?"

It is impossible for them to stay in the South China Sea.

Storm's first thought was to rest on the island for a while and then immediately set off back to the Grand Line.

Many of the onlookers on the dock showed expressions of interest as they looked at the ten thousand yuan in Storm's hand.

But when they saw the majestic blue-eyed white dragon in the sky, not a single person dared to move an inch!

Looking at the unresponsive crowd at the dock, Storm immediately realized something.

He raised his hand and gestured towards the sky, and the blue-eyed white dragon immediately flapped its wings and charged towards him.

However, before the white dragon could land...

The people on the dock then let out a series of heart-wrenching cries and wails.

"Ah! Run!"

"That white dragon is charging at us!"

"The white dragon is going to eat people!"

Amidst the cacophony of shouts, people on the dock rushed away as fast as they could, trying to get as far away from the dock as possible.

In the blink of an eye, everyone on the dock had vanished.

As Storm watched the retreating figures of the crowd scatter like birds and beasts, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

He overestimated the average person's acceptance of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon...

The shrunken Blue-Eyes White Dragon perched lazily on Storm's shoulder, swishing its tail like a house cat.

Storm looked at the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, gazing into the latter's deep blue eyes.

"It's a pity you're a dragon, so be it..."

next moment.

The appearance of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon began to change; its wings disappeared, its neck shortened, and its limbs became slender and long...

Even the pale dragon scales covering its body turned into individual, translucent, snow-white downy hairs.

And the most amazing thing is...

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon's originally thick and powerful tail spread out like a peacock's tail, turning into a full nine fox tails!

This is no longer the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Instead, it is—

The Nine-Tailed Fox!

The pure white, graceful, and alluring nine-tailed fox jumped off Storm's shoulder.

It held its head high and strode forward, its little bottom sticking up high, its nine fluffy and soft fox tails swaying in mid-air.

"However, the furry ones are definitely cuter than the hairless ones..."

With his hands behind his head, Storm leisurely followed behind the nine-tailed fox, heading towards the island's town.

"Now, it shouldn't scare ordinary people anymore, right?"

Storm had just left a short while ago.

A group of noisy guys walked towards us.

From a human aesthetic point of view, this group of people looks somewhat strange.

Storm, who had spent quite some time in Impel Down, found the group opposite him to be quite distinctive.

Just as Storm discovered this group of people.

They also noticed the stranger.

Perhaps it was the sheer number of people that gave this group so much confidence.

In front of Storm, they openly criticized and berated him.

"A face I've never seen before..."

"His clothes were strange too, and that logo... it looked like the logo of the World Government."

"World Government? Pshaw! Those high and mighty guys wouldn't care about us here!"

"Hey everyone! Look at that fox! It has nine tails!"

"A nine-tailed fox? Are you still drunk?"

"It really has nine tails! Is this fox a monster in disguise!?"

Just as the group was having a great time discussing it.

The leader, a red-haired spiky-haired man, roared at them.

"That's enough!"

The red-haired hedgehog-headed man seemed to have extremely high prestige among this group.

As soon as he spoke, everyone immediately fell silent.

"Hey! You!"

The red-haired hedgehog immediately turned his attention to Storm.

"Did you just come from the docks? Did you see a monster there?"

"monster?"

Storm glanced at the red-haired hedgehog, then gestured towards the nine-tailed fox in front of him, which was about the size of a domestic dog.

Are you talking about this?

"it?"

The red-haired hedgehog frowned.

"This white fox—"

The red-haired, spiky-haired man hadn't even had a chance to finish saying the word "fox."

The nine-tailed fox's body then swelled up like an inflating balloon.

It only takes the blink of an eye.

This nine-tailed fox, which was originally only knee-high to an average person, grew into a peerless monster nearly 100 meters tall!

The nine fluffy, soft fox tails danced wildly in mid-air, casting shadows that covered everyone on the field.

"Fox—Fox—"

The red-haired hedgehog looked up at the Dynamaxed Nine-Tailed Fox, its brain completely shutting down, and it couldn't even speak clearly.

The group of people standing behind him were also gripped by extreme panic at that moment.

Where have the indigenous people on the islands of the South China Sea ever seen such a terrifying monster?

Panic caused riots.

Chaos fueled the escape.

A group of people came over aggressively, and the children ran away crying and screaming.

Aside from the red-haired hedgehog head.

The only "local" who remained in the same place was a burly man with long, wavy, blond hair that reached his waist.

"Kidd!"

The blond, wavy-haired man grabbed the red-haired, spiky-haired man's shoulder and roared at the top of his lungs.

"escape!!!"

however.

Before the red-haired hedgehog could react...

The nine-tailed fox then swung its terrifying claw, grabbing both of them in one go.

"Kira!"

This time, the red-haired hedgehog finally came to his senses.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The two struggled desperately, but they were powerless to shake the nine-tailed fox's claws, and could not even squeeze out a little space to catch their breath.

Just when the blond, wavy-haired man was about to resign himself to his fate.

The red-haired hedgehog-headed creature let out a deafening roar.

"What a joke! How could I die here!"

A few wisps of magnetic electric arcs erupted from the red-haired hedgehog's body as he unleashed his full power.

"I'm going to be the Pirate King!!"

"I think I heard something very interesting."

Storm looked at the nine-tailed fox, who immediately brought the two of them to him.

"What did you just say you wanted to become, some kind of king?"

The red-haired hedgehog was too preoccupied with resisting the nine-tailed fox's restraints to respond to Storm's words.

In this regard.

Storm simply took a weapon from his pocket.

The instant the Seastone Baton touched the red-haired hedgehog's head.

The magnetic arc that erupted from this guy's body vanished without a trace.

The power was cut off on the spot!

The red-haired hedgehog was completely in dire straits.

His all-out effort was nothing more than a death throes from beginning to end.

Touched by the Seastone Baton, the red-haired hedgehog seemed to have no strength left to speak.

He forced himself to speak, overcoming his sense of powerlessness.

"Who exactly are you?"

"Isn't it polite to state your own identity before asking someone's name?"

Looking at the strange combination of the red-haired spiky man and the blond wavy-haired man, Storm made a preliminary guess about their identities.

He retrieved the Seastone Baton and had the Nine-Tailed Fox loosen its restraints on the two of them.

"Your name? Redhead?"

"Kidd!"

The red-haired hedgehog—or rather, Kidd—looked warily at the weapon in Storm's hand.

"Eeustass Kidd!"

Sure enough, it's you!

Storm then looked at the blond, wavy-haired man beside him.

Before he could even ask a question.

The latter spoke up on his own.

Kira.

"Very good, Eustace Kid, and Kira too."

Storm shrunk the nine-tailed fox back to its normal size, then beckoned to the two of them.

"I've just arrived in Beirut and need a local guide."

"It's decided now that it's the two of you!"

...That's it?

Kid and Killer, who thought they would die here, exchanged a silent glance.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Storm took out the ten-thousand-yuan note that he hadn't spent earlier.

He was about to hand it to Kidd when he thought for a moment and then pulled out another ten-thousand-yuan bill from his pocket.

"This is your reward as guides, 10,000 Berries each."

"What are you standing there for! Take the money!"

what! ?

Kidd and Kira numbly accepted the money each other offered.

I don't know why.

Even though they were making money, they both felt that their dignity had been trampled on by the other.

This sense of loss of dignity was even more severe than when I was captured by that nine-tailed fox!

Storm didn't care what Kidd and Kira were thinking.

He finally found a populated island.

The most urgent thing is to clean up and wash up, and then find a restaurant to fill our stomachs!

It's best to eat some vegetables and fruits...

For the past few days, Storm has been eating sea king meat, and he's gotten a little tired of it.

"Lead the way, you two guides!"

Storm raised his hand in acknowledgment.

"While you're on the way, tell me if anything interesting has happened recently."

"...You two are planning to go out to sea together? What happened to that group of people from earlier? Did they run away and you're abandoning them? Good luck!"

"...I'm not interested in what's happening on Belfast Island; I want to know about the big events reported in the news!"

"...A 'one-man revolution' has broken out in the Kingdom of Sorbe?"

"Tyrant, Bear?"
