Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 450 Im Descends from the Sky!

"Im?"

Storm raised an eyebrow, recalling the rude lord of the Empty Throne who had previously acted before him.

"I have nothing to say to that super old lady who's eight or nine hundred years old!"

If it were just now...

Storm was also interested in talking to Im and discussing the "selling price" of the Five Elders with the King of the World.

He had just wiped out the Whitebeard Pirates, and the territory that originally belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates was waiting for him to take over.

Furthermore, the Beasts Pirates had long been his for the taking.

The internal problems of the new world have not yet been completely resolved.

If Im is willing to pay a decent "ransom" for the Five Elders.

Storm wouldn't mind sending the Five Elders back to Mary Geoise.

Yes, he personally delivered it back —

but now?

Without a word, Im summoned all four of the Five Elders, including Saint Satan, back to their respective places, leaving only Saint Nassuro behind.

Storm lost more than just the ransom from the Five Elders.

There are also four other eight-star trophies represented by the Five Elders!

That wretched old woman!

The White Dragon Emperor's direct refusal immediately made Nasujuro Sei feel uneasy.

But what made the bald Five Elders' eyelids twitch even more was the way the White Dragon Emperor addressed Lord Im.

Super old lady?

Although this is indeed true.

However, it is clear that Lord Im would not like this title.

as predicted.

The moment the White Dragon Emperor finished speaking.

Nasujiro then heard a piercing scream coming from his mind.

Lord Im was furious!

As Im's servant, Nasujuro Sei made his stance clear, glaring angrily at the pirate in front of him.

"White Dragon Emperor, you—"

"Enough with the nonsense, Izambaron V. Nasujuro!"

Storm coldly interrupted Nassshuro Sei's words.

"The Celestial Dragons! The Five Elders! And Im!"

"You can all wait in Mary Geoise!"

Nasujiro Sei's pupils contracted instantly, and a thick black smoke erupted from his body, as if to engulf him and take him out of this special alternate dimension.

This was a "promised plan" made by Nasujiro and Im beforehand.

Once the White Dragon Emperor showed an aggressive attitude.

Then Im, who is so far away in Mary Geoise, will directly summon Nassuro back.

Just like when she summoned back the other four Elders!

But even faster than the black smoke emanating from Nassuro Sei's body was the black and red electric arc that erupted from Storm's body.

The nine-star Conqueror's Haki was released without reservation.

The black and red electric arcs traversed spatial distances at extreme speeds, instantly enveloping and surrounding Nasu Shoulang Sheng.

Storm still doesn't know how Nassuro and the other four Elders' "summoning abilities" work.

However, he was very clear about one thing—[domineering aura] is the natural enemy of all abilities!

Especially [Conqueror's Haki].

When Storm's Conqueror's Haki is upgraded to nine stars, it gains a strong ability to counter Devil Fruits.

Even the legendary Dark-Dark Fruit, which is said to possess the "most vicious power in history," is countered by Strom's Conqueror's Haki.

Boom!

It was accompanied by a loud roar.

Storm's [Conqueror's Haki] was like an overwhelming net, binding Nasujuro Saint within it.

The strange black smoke that had just erupted from Nasujiro Sei's body melted away quickly, like snow falling under the scorching summer sun.

Interrupt spellcasting!

Im's "remote summoning" was interrupted by Storm's [Conqueror's Haki]!

"Oh?"

A strange smile crept across Storm's face.

He never expected that his tentative approach would actually interrupt Nassuro Sei's teleportation process.

The other four of the Five Elders escaped, but one remained, so it wasn't a huge loss.

Nasujiro stared wide-eyed at the White Dragon Emperor in utter terror. He had never imagined that the White Dragon Emperor would be able to interrupt Lord Im's summons.

That was Lord Im's summons!

Im's piercing scream echoed in Nasujiro Sei's mind once again.

But at this moment, this financial strategist no longer cared about his master.

He had previously fought against the White Dragon Emperor—if that could be called a "fight".

Nasujiro was also aware of the White Dragon Emperor's strength.

To be fair...

Even though the Five Elders had already overestimated the White Dragon Emperor's strength.

But when the actual battle began, Nasujiro realized that they had underestimated them.

The White Dragon Emperor isn't as strong as the Pirate Emperor, nor is he as strong as the Pirate King—

According to Nassou Sei.

The strongest being in the entire ocean who can be compared to the White Dragon Emperor.

It's probably only Lord Im.

And there's also Joey Boy from 800 years ago!

How is he supposed to fight this monster?

"White, White Dragon Emperor!"

Nasujiro even started to stutter a little when he spoke.

"Lord Im—" I told you! Don't mention that old woman in front of me!"

Storm took two steps, approaching Nasujuro Sei, who was bound and unable to move by his Conqueror's Haki.

He maintained the release of [Conqueror's Haki] while simultaneously releasing [Observation Haki].

Two beams of light, like red lanterns, instantly lit up in his eyes.

"Now, let me see what special secrets are hidden in the minds of the Five Elders!"

Nasujiro gritted his teeth and unleashed his Conqueror's Haki in an attempt to save himself.

However, compared to Storm's Conqueror's Haki, Nasujuro's Conqueror's Haki is far inferior in both quality and quantity.

Nasujiro Sei's "last stand" only allowed him to hold on for a breath or two before he was completely crushed.

Storm could clearly sense that he could now fully hear Nassuro Sei's thoughts.

"The White Dragon Emperor is a monster!"

Lord Im! Help me!!

Don't come here! ! !

As Strom drew ever closer, Nassuro Sei's "inner voice" grew increasingly panicked, anxious, and even desperate.

The Pirate Emperor, of course, wouldn't care about the Five Elders' negative emotions.

Storm began to ask questions and started to find the answers himself.

"How did you manage to withstand my Observation Haki detection before?"

Nassshuro Sei tightly shut his mouth, his lips turning white from being pressed together, showing that he had no intention of answering the White Dragon Emperor's question.

However, while the Five Elders could control his mouth to stop him from speaking, they could not control his brain to stop him from thinking.

As Nasujiro Seiichi didn't want to answer the White Dragon Emperor's question, more and more intelligence data surfaced in his mind.

Storm immediately found the answer he was looking for.

"I see—it was Im who helped you?"

"A special technique similar to Shanks' 'Sight and Sound Kill'?"

Kill by sight and sound.

A high-level application of [Conqueror's Haki].

Storm will also use it.

After using Conqueror's Haki to entangle and seal one's own aura, one can shield oneself from the perception of Observation Haki from the outside world.

It can even prevent opponents from "seeing the future".

Im used his Conqueror's Haki to cover and entangle Nasujuro, thereby protecting his mind and preventing Storm from spying on his thoughts.

Nassou's "answer" did not surprise Storm.

He immediately understood why he could now peek into Nassuro Sei's mental memories.

Because Storm is currently using Conqueror's Haki to control Nasujuro.

His Conqueror's Haki and Im's Conqueror's Haki canceled each other out!

"Next question."

Storm continued to ask questions.

"What exactly is Im's ability?"

"Hmm—as expected, another Devil Fruit user of the Mythical Zoan type!"

"Another 'god'!"

"Or rather, a 'demon'!"

Nasujiro could no longer control his emotions and roared at the White Dragon Emperor.

"Lord Im will absolutely not let you get away with this!"

"Yeah?"

Storm regained his senses and calmly looked at Nassuro Sei.

Suddenly, large amounts of black flames began to emerge from the latter's body.

This flame did not seem to be under Nasujiro Sei's control, and it even seemed to have a very high damaging effect on him.

Nassuro Sei, who had just been glaring angrily at Storm, suddenly let out a piercing scream.

"Lord Im! No! No! I haven't betrayed you!"

Under the scorching heat of this pitch-black flame.

Nassuro Sei's body quickly became dry, and his aura rapidly weakened.

Storm frowned slightly, increasing the suppressive effect of his [Conqueror's Haki].

The suppressive effect of [Conqueror's Haki] is visible to the naked eye.

The black flames burning on Nassshuro's body were quickly suppressed and extinguished.

But Nassulang was not freed from this.

Under Storm's watchful gaze.

Nasujiro Sei's body continued to age at an astonishing rate.

He originally looked very old, but time seemed to have stood still on him, so that his appearance had not changed for decades or even centuries.

But at this moment.

The power of time seemed to have been drawn away from Nasujuro Sei's body.

In the blink of an eye.

Nassuro Sei transformed from a bald old man into a emaciated, skeletal human figure.

next moment.

Nassuro died in front of Storm.

He wasn't "burned" to death by that flame.

This financial genius died of old age.

A large trophy, shrouded in blood, suddenly appeared before Storm's eyes.

This is the eight-star grand prize trophy that he had tried many times before but failed to win.

【Radiant Moon Cup: Five Elders - Izambaron V. Nassurou Sei】

[Tournament Rating: ★★★★★★★★]

Nasujiro Seijin is really dead.

Storm's eyes flickered slightly for a moment.

He temporarily disregarded the [Mythical Beast Fruit - Horse Bone Fruit] that Saint Nasujuro had consumed, and went directly from this "Void Prison".

It broke away from the middle.

Just as Storm returned to Sky Garden.

A bolt of black lightning flew swiftly from the distant sea, as if equipped with some kind of special positioning magic, directly locking onto the Sky Garden and leaving a huge magic circle imprint on the ground of this floating island.

Within the magic circle, black smoke rapidly condensed, revealing a slender, tall figure.

A name popped into Storm's mind without his noticing.

Im!
