Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 46 Do You Believe in Gravity? (Please read on! Please vote!)

Storm stepped into the void and used [Moonwalk] to arrive on the naval warship at top speed.

On the deck of the warship, the shell of the enormous "clay bear figure" was trembling incessantly.

Clearly, the bear encased in clay was not resigned to defeat and was putting up a fierce fight.

Compared to the others on the warship, Big Bear's strength was terrifying.

Not to mention his Paw-Paw Fruit has the amazing ability to bounce everything away!

The moment Storm arrived at the warship.

Kaka-

The palm of the "Clay Bear Figure" suddenly developed numerous cracks.

The next moment, the "Clay Bear" hand exploded, and pieces of clay scattered like projectiles.

Once the outer clay shell is removed, the bear's uniquely shaped "paw pads" are revealed.

Storm reached into his robes, took out the Seastone Baton, and flicked it lightly.

The Seastone Baton, meticulously crafted by the Navy Equipment Department, is launched like a javelin.

The [Seastone Baton] struck the "target" with unparalleled precision, like an arrow released from a bow.

A bear's paw!

The instant you touch the tip of the [Seastone Baton].

The bear, which had been struggling just moments before, became docile again.

Storm manipulated the clay, revealing the bear's head.

"Hailou Stone..."

Big Bear glanced at the Seastone Baton out of the corner of his eye, and with his extensive experience, he immediately recognized its true nature.

As a user of the Paw-Paw Fruit, he couldn't escape the fatal weakness of all Devil Fruit users—

The moment you touch the Seastone, your abilities will be "sealed"!

Big Bear realized he couldn't escape from the clutches of this strange "angel" in front of him...

"Bartholomew the Great Bear".

Storm strolled up to the "Clay Bear Figure" and asked casually.

Do you believe in gravity?

"gravitational?"

Big Bear frowned as he looked at the man in front of him who was suddenly talking strangely.

"I am religious."

"……what?"

Storm nearly choked on his back from the unexpected answer.

He had just thought of it—

"There is an 'attraction' between people!"

"Our meeting was guided by fate!"

—A phrase specifically used to attract bears.

Before they could even say a word, the baby died in the womb.

Storm remained silent for a long time.

He is really not good at persuading people with reason.

Then we'll have no choice but to "subdue them by force"!

Storm raised his right hand, and a deep, dark Armament Haki enveloped the surface of his fist.

[Armed Iron Block]!

Not long after.

A brand new trophy suddenly appeared in front of Storm.

[Diamond Trophy: Bartholomew Bear]

[Tournament Rating: ★★★★★★]

"Big Bear's trophy is only six stars? It's a level weaker than I expected..."

Storm frowned as he looked at the Grand Prix Cup that appeared in the void.

"I initially thought Big Bear would have seven-star strength, but it turns out he's on par with the Transvestite King Ivankov."

Storm looked at the bear, who had been beaten unconscious, and shook his head.

He looked up at the sky, and the Blue-Eyed White Dragon, having received his call, flew toward the three naval warships below.

Once the Blue-Eyes White Dragon had closed the distance between itself and the three warships to a certain extent, it suddenly hovered in mid-air.

The two people on the back of the blue-eyed white dragon were immediately thrown off by the movement and landed on the deck of the naval warship with screams.

Pfft!Pfft!

Two thuds followed.

Kidd and Killer fell flat on their faces on the deck of the naval warship.

Fortunately, the clay was flexible enough that neither of them was seriously injured.

Without needing any prompting, Kidd and Killer immediately got up from the ground.

I just witnessed the battle between Storm and Tyrant Bear, along with three naval warships.

Kidd and Killer's awe of this new "BOSS" reached its peak.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

...Boss?

Storm glanced at Kidd and Kira indifferently, said nothing, and simply resumed controlling the clay on the warship.

One after another, chains of white clay flew out from the naval warship and were then wrapped around the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's body.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon, leading three naval warships, continued to approach the nearby Kingdom of Sorbe.

On the edge of the coast of the island where the Kingdom of Sorbe is located.

A group of elderly people are gathered here.

The leader was a short, weathered old man.

He is the former king of the Kingdom of Sorbe, and the current ruler – Burdog.

After the outbreak of the "one-man revolution".

The terrible man, who was slandered as a "tyrant" by King Bekley and the newspapers, was elected as the new king by the people.

But Bartholomew the Great Bear did not govern.

The one who truly governs the Kingdom of Sorbe is still the former King Burdough.

Burdog knew very well what kind of person his successor, King Beckley, really was.

In order to reduce the amount of heavenly gold that should be paid as tribute to the Heavenly Dragons.

King Beckley was willing to divide the entire country in two, and even voluntarily abandoned half of the kingdom's borders and people!

More than a decade ago, the Self-Defense Army (the revolutionary army at the time) overthrew King Beckley's rule and drove him out of the country.

But this year, King Beckley has made a comeback and regained his rule over the country, acting even more brutally than in previous years!

This time, King Bekley even wanted to send troops to kill the innocent people living in the abandoned half of the country.

The bear created the "one-man revolution" to protect these innocent people and drive King Beckley away again.

However, it happened today.

King Becley returned to the Kingdom of Sorbe with three naval warships.

Once the bear is no match for the enemy.

The rule of the Kingdom of Sorbe will once again fall into the hands of King Becqueli.

By then, Burdog had no idea how many more outrageous things King Beckley would do.

"King Bear..."

Burdog gazed out at the sea, muttering to himself.

"We absolutely have to win..."

Just then.

Suddenly, Burdog saw the shadows of three ships appear on the sea.

However, the appearance of these three warships was different from the iron-gray warships that the previous king had in mind.

Even more bizarrely, in front of these three white boats, there was an enormous creature pulling the boats...

"What is that?"

Burdog couldn't help but rub his eyes.

"It has wings, like... a dragon???"

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon dragged three naval warships all the way to the shore before stopping.

Storm manipulated the clay to transfer all the living people on the warship to the shore.

Among them was Bartholomew the Bear.

King Bekley and naval soldiers were also present.

Storm was the last to leave the naval warship.

As soon as he stepped off the boat, he noticed a group of elderly men standing on the shore.

"Boss!"

Kidd and Kira stood beside an elderly man with gray hair, looking after him from both sides.

"This old man is the current king of the Kingdom of Sorbe!"

"I am not a king."

Burdog, sandwiched between two young men, calmly explained.

"I am the ruler of the kingdom, Burdog."

"What do you mean by governing or not governing?"

Kidd frowned and said impatiently.

"You rule this country, but you're not the king. So who is?"

"Bartholomew the Great Bear is the true king of the Kingdom of Sorbet."

"Bulldog said in a deep voice."

"At least, he is still the king of this country."

"Alright, Kidd, Kira, go and take inventory of the supplies on the warship."

Storm waved to the red-haired hedgehog and the blond wavy-haired man, then walked up to Burdog.

"Your Excellency, may I ask where the Great Bear King's 'palace' is?"

Burdog's eyes were fixed on the beaming Strom, while his gaze occasionally swept over the clay bear figurine beside him.

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

Boordoug felt that this big bear looked very familiar...

"Who are you?"

"Vongola Storm, a 'pirate captain' who wants to invite Kuma to join him at sea, but has not yet succeeded."

"Pirate captain? Pirate?"

Burdog raised his gray eyebrows and looked at Storm strangely.

"You don't look like a pirate..."

"Old man, isn't there a saying, 'You can know a person's face but not their heart'?"

Storm looked at the "clay bear figure" next to him and instantly peeled off its outer clay shell.

"Look at this 'tyrant,' he may look quite mighty and strong, but in reality he's just an indecisive man."

"King Bear!"

Upon seeing the unconscious Bartholomew Bear, Burdog was instantly horrified.

"Pirate! What did you do to him?"

"Old man, you changed your tune a little too quickly..."

Storm's lips twitched.

"Don't worry, I just did a simple test of 'Tyrant's' strength. I didn't hit him hard. He should wake up soon."

Bouldoug was unwilling to believe Storm's side of the story.

He leaned on his cane, walked quickly to the bear's side, and listened to its heart for a while.

After hearing that the bear's heartbeat was still steady and strong.

Burdog finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned to look at Storm, his expression becoming even stranger.

"You...are you really a pirate?"

"Although I have no fame, no flag, no ships, and no subordinates yet..."

"Stromb said with certainty."

"But I really am a pirate!"

"...I understand this world less and less now."

Burdog was silent for a long time before exhaling a breath of stale air.

"What are you doing in the Kingdom of Sorbet, such a young pirate?"

"Recruit subordinates."

Storm said it quite frankly.

"And plunder while we're at it."

Burdog's pupils contracted slightly, and he said, feigning composure.

"The Kingdom of Sorbe is very poor..."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Storm pointed to the three warships on the sea.

"Do you see those three ships?"

"I saw it."

"Sir, do you know how much a large warship costs to build?"
