Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 421 The Promise of the Elephant Lord!

Storm intended to greet Zunesha before returning to Whole Cake Island with Robin, Shirahoshi, and the others.

But then Elephant suddenly initiated a spiritual connection.

"Vongola, I heard from the Little Mermaid that you plan to bring Fishman Island into the sunlight?"

Yes, this is my promise to Fishman Island.

Storm glanced calmly at Shirahoshi and said frankly.

"At the same time, this is also a condition I offered in order to gain Shirahoshi's support."

Shirahoshi is ultimately the "human form" of Poseidon, the Sea King.

Storm places great importance on Shirahoshi.

Joey Boy made a similar promise to the Little Mermaid back then, but he ultimately broke his promise...

The elephant once again recalled the past, but only briefly, and it quickly brought the topic back to the present.

"The Vongola World Government will definitely not stand idly by while things go wrong on Fish-Man Island."

"I know."

Storm remained calm.

"In fact, after dealing with the Whitebeard Pirates, my next target is the World Government!"

Once Storm defeats the Whitebeard Pirates.

Including Big Mom, Shanks, and Beasts—

All four pirate emperors of the New World were defeated and imprisoned by Storm.

Aside from special countries like Elbaf.

In the entire New World, only three major forces remain: the New Navy, the Storm Pirates, and the Dawn Pirates.

He is a candidate for the new Fleet Admiral of the Navy and the captain of the Storm/Dawn Pirates.

Storm practically dominated the New World!

Therefore, his next target will only be the World Government.

This was part of a strategic plan that had been prepared beforehand.

"The Little Mermaid hasn't grown up yet, and her power hasn't reached its peak—although, to be fair, the World Government hasn't activated the power of Uranus for quite some time."

The elephant spirit gave a few more long-winded instructions, and then spoke up on its own initiative.

Vongola! When you decide to go to war with the World Government, come find me! I will become your strength!

This is the promise of the elephant!

Although Elephant Lord had already sensed that a new king had been born in a distant sea.

Perhaps that is the reincarnation of Joey Boy, whom it has been waiting for for eight hundred years.

However, it could also sense that Joey Boy's power had not yet been fully developed.

At least Elephant has not heard the sound of the "Drum of Liberation" since.

That "sun god," perhaps like the "mermaid princess," is still quietly accumulating its power.

For now.

Zelda has no choice but to believe in Vongola Storm.

It is also willing to believe in Vongola Storm!

As an ancient elephant that has lived for over a thousand years, Zunesha can hear powerful voices emanating from the Vongola's body.

Even the voice of Joey Boy, the "Sun God" from eight hundred years ago, was not as powerful as the voice of the Vongola.

In other words.

The Vongola's strength has probably surpassed that of the Sun God back then!

Although Elephant God is old, he is not senile.

A man like Vongola deserves its trust.

I have received your message, Elephant Lord.

Storm responded solemnly.

I never promise things I can't do, but now, please accept this little gift from me.

Zunesha was slightly taken aback, not yet realizing what the "gift" Vongola was referring to.

But in the next moment, it clearly felt a rather strange sensation, originating from where Vongola was standing, spreading and diffusing outwards from its body.

The aging skin gradually regains its vitality, the tattered elephant ears slowly return to their original state, and the scars and hidden injuries accumulated over the past thousands of years are also slowly restored by a magical power.

With its keen perception, the elephant could clearly sense that its aging body was rapidly recovering, and it was overjoyed.

Vongola! Vongola! What is this?!

Clearly, it's the Devil Fruit's ability: Paramecia-type Restore Fruit.

Storm continues to unleash the power of the Ring of Restoration.

Elephant's body is simply too enormous.

Even with Storm's [Recovery Fruit] level, it was impossible to instantly restore its injuries.

However, this top-tier healing Devil Fruit will ultimately be helpful to its current owner's situation.

The power of Devil Fruits—it's truly amazing!

The ancient voice of Ganesha was filled with joy.

Vongola! You really are my best friend!

True friends don't easily abandon each other.

After Storm finished healing Zunesha, he put away the power of the Ring of Restoration.

"Elephant Lord, I will come to you again later."

Storm can bring White Star back to Tales of Hollows.

But he cannot take Elephant back.

Because Ganesha's size is simply too enormous.

Storm suspects that even Elbaf, the "world's strongest nation," might not be able to accommodate the elephant spirits' normal life.

If given the opportunity in the future, Storm wants to make Zelda a little smaller.

At the very least, this super elephant should be given the ability to run freely across the islands of the world!

This can only be achieved through Devil Fruits.

On the high seas, there are quite a few Devil Fruits that help their users grow larger.

However, Devil Fruits that shrink the size of their users are relatively rare.

But Storm still knew that there was such a Devil Fruit.

【Paranoia-type Mini-Fruit】.

After consuming this Devil Fruit, even members of the Giant race can shrink their bodies to a few millimeters in size.

It should be noted that the height of giants is generally close to twenty meters.

A few millimeters versus twenty meters—that's almost a ten-thousand-fold difference.

Even Zunesha, after eating the Mini Fruit, can transform into a "mini elephant" several meters tall.

if that's the case.

It would be very convenient for the elephant to live.

Although that would also bring other problems.

What will become of the Zou Kingdom, which is on the back of the elephant?

But this wasn't too much of a problem for Storm.

Fishman Island can be relocated from the deep sea.

The Kingdom of Zou can also leave on Zunesha's back!

Storm, however, had a different problem to worry about.

He still doesn't know the whereabouts of the Mini-Fruit, only that it was eventually eaten by a female giant.

Fortunately, it will be over in a short while.

Storm also did not need to shrink the size of Ganesha.

He didn't bring up this matter with Elephant Lord, but quietly included it in his future plans.

Storm had a conversation with Elephant Lord.

The group then enjoyed a sumptuous lunch in the Kingdom of Zou, featuring the specialties of the fur tribe.

Storm also used the power of the "Eat Ring" to leave a few drops of delicious food for Zunesha.

It was afternoon.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon then left Zunesha's back and sped off into the depths of the new world.

It was approaching evening.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon successfully arrived at the waters near Totto Land and flew directly into the Sky Garden.

"This must be the legendary 'Sky Island', right?"

Although Shirahoshi had seen real forests and flowers in the Kingdom of Zou, she was still very excited.

"The mud islands floating in a sea of clouds seem as if you could reach out and touch the sun."

"Alright, Curious Star."

Storm's voice drew Shirahoshi's attention.

"You'll have plenty of time to explore the Sky Garden afterward—that's the name of this sky island."

"Now I want to ask you, do you want to live in the Sky Garden, or do you want to live in the Totto Land below?"

"Your Majesty the White Dragon Emperor."

Bai Xing blinked and asked curiously.

"What's the difference between these two places?"

"Actually, there's not much difference; one is high and the other is low."

Storm explained simply.

"Also, the people living in the Sky Garden are all true 'our own people,' so it's relatively quiet."

"But the world below is quite lively."

Whole Cake Island was originally the territory of the Big Mom Pirates.

For many years, BIGMOM has provided excellent protection for the Land of Treasures, which has a large population.

After Storm shaped the entire archipelago into one, the population of each sub-island was brought together on this super-large island.

In addition, the White Dragon Emperor has always had a good reputation for treating civilians, which is in stark contrast to other pirates.

To this day, the population of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand continues to grow.

After all, this is the sea area of the New World.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to find a safe island to live on.

"I want to live in the sky garden."

Bai Xing first expressed her thoughts, and then asked further questions.

"But will I be able to go to the world below in the future?"

"Of course, I won't restrict your movements, as long as you ensure your safety."

Storm thought for a moment, then glanced warily at the blue-skinned fathead fish next to him.

"I really should find you a 'new bodyguard'!"

"snort!"

Jinbe let out a loud, cold snort.

But apart from that, he didn't say another word.

After repeated persuasion from Shark Star and Shirahoshi, Jinbe finally gave up his suicidal thoughts.

Of course, this could also be because he felt challenging the Hundred Dragon Emperor was completely pointless.

After all, the other party only glared at him, and Hai Xia immediately collapsed to the ground.

What does this "challenge" mean?

Storm ignored the blue-skinned fathead fish and vanished from the spot in an instant.

A moment later, he reappeared here, this time with a small, deep purple dragon in his hand.

"This is 'Shiryu'."

Storm gently tossed the purple dragon in his hand, and several blazing orange-yellow flames suddenly appeared on its slender body. These flames carried its body, allowing it to soar freely in the air.

"From now on, it will be your 'bodyguard'."

"Of course, you can also consider it a 'friend'."

This little purple dragon.

In reality, it was a new Homie created by Storm using the new [Artificial Blue Dragon Fruit (Purple)] that Vegapunk Botox had previously created, while also combining the power of the [Clay Fruit] and the [Soul Soul Fruit].

Aside from color.

Purple Dragon can actually be considered the Crimson Dragon Emperor!

of course.

Storm did not grant the purple dragon human form for the time being, but only kept it in "beast form".

However, this does not affect Shiryu's ability to utilize the [Artificial Blue Dragon Fruit (Purple)] at all.

Shirahoshi is closely protected by Shiryu.

Isn't this a million times better than that blue-skinned fathead fish?

At Storm's signal, Shiryu slowly flew towards Shirahoshi.

Bai Xing obediently stretched out her right hand, intending to support the little purple dragon.

Unexpectedly, the latter wrapped around her fair wrist, swirling around it, as if it had transformed into a purple dragon-shaped bracelet.

"So amazing! And so beautiful!"

Bai Xing subconsciously gave a thumbs-up.

In fact, she had seen similar creatures before—a long, narrow golden dragon coiled on the top floor of the Dragon Palace.

But this was the first time Shirahoshi had ever encountered such a "live dragon".

The purple dragon encircling Shirahoshi's wrist opened its eyes and lazily reminded her, "This is 'powerful,' not 'beautiful.' Watch your words, Princess Shirahoshi."

"It can even talk—"

Bai Xing said this subconsciously, and then immediately apologized obediently.

"I'm sorry, Lord Shiryu."

"Don't call me 'sir,' Princess Shirahoshi."

Zilong maintained his usual lazy tone.

"Just call me 'Zirong'."

A bright smile bloomed on Bai Xing's little face, just like a little girl who had just made a new friend.

"Hmm! Shiryu!"

Storm directly assigned the task of guiding Shirahoshi to familiarize herself with the Sky Garden to Shiryu.

As for Shark Star and Jinpei...

Neither of these two Storms asked for their opinions; instead, they sent them directly to the Tottoland of the Kingdom below.

The people living in the Sky Garden are all true friends.
