Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 47 Joelie Bonney! (Please read on! Please vote!)

On this turbulent sea, what is the "hardest" form of hard currency?

It wasn't awarded the title of "Pele" by the World Government.

It is not "gold" as a precious metal.

Instead, it's a seemingly insignificant "ship"!

In the world-renowned shipbuilding city of Seven Waters.

A well-preserved secondhand ship would cost around 100 million Berries.

If it were a brand new ship, the price would be at least 300 million Berries!

You should know that even the legendary "treasure of the sea"—the Devil Fruit.

The average selling price of a Devil Fruit is only 100 million Berries.

If we convert it according to this price...

A brand new ship can be exchanged for at least three Devil Fruits!

Also.

The ships that Water Seven sells to the public are usually just wooden sailing ships aimed at pirates and merchants.

What are the warships that the World Government and the Navy Headquarters rely on to navigate the seas and maintain order?

Take, for example, the three warships that Storm captured in the battle just now.

This is a large battleship made of steel, with four masts and dozens of cannons mounted on the front and sides. It can even pass through the calm zone unscathed!

Each of these large warships is nearly sixty meters long!

Based on what Storm learned at the naval academy.

Large battleships like this one, with a hull length of nearly 60 meters, are large enough to accommodate 800 naval personnel on sea operations.

Each of them often costs billions of dollars to build!

Storm wasn't sure why the World Government was involved. It could also be the Marine Headquarters—

In order to subdue Bartholomew the Great Bear, the "tyrant" of the Kingdom of Sorbe, three large warships must be dispatched at once.

In any case, these three warships have now directly benefited Storm.

He just happened to not have a boat.

When recruiting other crew members later, Storm can point to the warship and say—

"My family's boat is big and comfortable!"

of course.

It's impossible for Storm to use all three warships himself.

He didn't have any idea of ​​"one ship to preserve, one to admire, and one for missionary work"...

Storm intends to keep one naval warship for his own use.

He wants to find a suitable "buyer" to buy the other two!

Incidentally, the hundreds of sailors on this shore should also be redeemed by that "buyer"!

Wouldn't that provide the initial start-up capital for this pirate business?

Burdog glanced at the three warships on the sea, then at the young "pirate" beside him.

"You're planning to seize these naval warships?"

"It's not that they 'planned to steal it,' they 'already got it'!"

Storm corrected Burdoug's statement, he said seriously.

"If you're a pirate, of course you'll rob whoever has the money!"

How much profit can you squeeze out of a poor person?

These words were spoken.

Burdog finally believed that the man in front of him was a lawless and notorious pirate.

Although he didn't know how to say it, the other person's disdain for the poor still made him feel relieved...

Just then.

After completing a preliminary inspection of the supplies on the three naval warships, Kidd and Kira walked over with excited expressions.

"Boss! The navy ship is huge! It's packed with stuff!"

"Food, fresh water, military knives, artillery shells, and new weapons and equipment I've never even heard of before!"

The reports from Kidd and Kira reveal their distinctly different personalities.

"Move down the food that doesn't keep for long first, then you can bring some other people..."

Storm paused for a moment after saying this.

He glanced at the entire navy he had brought under his control, and at the group of old men standing on the shore, and shook his head inwardly.

Nendoroids!

Storm unleashed the power of the Clay-Clay Fruit, and one after another, small giants over three meters tall appeared on the shore.

He controlled the clay giants to line up in a row, and then waved to Kid and Killer.

"You two, take these clay figures and unload everything from the ship, don't forget anything."

"Yes, boss!" x2

Kidd and Killer readily agreed and, with their crew of smaller giants, returned to the warship at sea.

Storm created some more clay figures to guard the group of naval soldiers.

He then manipulated the clay to grab the unconscious bear, as well as another "important prisoner"—King Beckley.

The Nine-Tailed Fox!

A lifelike white fox leaped out from Storm's body.

Its magical appearance, exactly like that in the legends, startled Burdog and the other old men standing nearby.

"Grandpa, I won't chat with you any longer."

Storm leaped onto the head of the nine-tailed fox and sat down cross-legged.

"I'm going to King Bear's 'palace' now, do you want to come along?"

palace?

How did this pirate know where it was?

Burdog was startled.

He didn't mention anything about the "palace" to the other person at all!

"Okay, looks like you're planning to walk back by yourself."

Storm patted the nine-tailed fox beneath him, and the fox immediately began to stride toward the interior of the island.

"Then I'll be leaving now!"

"Wait—wait a minute!"

Burdog quickly raised his hand and shouted.

"Please take me back with you!"

Boordoug made up his mind.

What if what this young pirate just said was true?

If the other party really went to the bear's "palace"—the church where little Bonnie is hidden.

So even if it costs him his life, Burdogg will stop them!

But what if the other party was lying?

The other party did not discover the Great Bear's "palace," but instead discovered King Beckley's palace—

"King Beckley??"

Just as Burdog was being pulled onto the Nine-Tailed Fox by Storm, he suddenly caught sight of another familiar face next to him.

Who else could it be but Becley, the former king of the Kingdom of Sorbe?

That great pirate!

Burdog looked at Storm's back in front of him, feeling completely bewildered.

He caught the bear again, and then he caught King Beckley...

What exactly does this pirate want to do?

The nine-tailed fox moves at an astonishing speed.

Burdogg hadn't reacted yet.

The nine-tailed fox then led the group deep into the interior of the island where the Kingdom of Sorbe was located.

Under Storm's control, the nine-tailed fox came to a steady stop in front of a small church with a rather unusual appearance.

Unlike the typical decor of a church, every window of this small chapel was sealed shut.

Storm can imagine it.

Under such strict protective measures, absolutely no natural light can enter the church!

Storm jumped off the nine-tailed fox and then put down the bear, Burdog, and King Beckley.

Just as he put the person down.

Suddenly, Burdog swung his cane at Storm and slammed it down on him.

"You pirate!"

"Sir, isn't that incredibly rude of you?"

Storm frowned slightly as he looked at the limp cane.

"You should stay outside with that 'King' guy too!"

Before Burdog's cane could strike Storm,

With a gentle curl of its fluffy tail, the nine-tailed fox bound Buldoug's body.

When the Nine-Tailed Fox's tail was pulled away, Buldoug had already turned into a clay statue, just like King Beckley.

Storm, carrying the still unconscious bear, slowly walked toward the church.

crunch--

Then came the sound of a door being pushed open.

Storm slowly pushed the church doors open from the outside.

The moment he stepped into the church.

Suddenly, a short, stern-faced man emerged from the shadows of the church.

She had long, pink hair that reached her waist, and her delicate face was adorned with a few jewel-like fragments.

"Go to hell!"

Three-inch Ding leaped high into the air, raised her right leg, and delivered a "heavy kick" towards Storm.

However, her kicking power was not even comparable to that of Burdog's cane.

With lightning speed, Storm grabbed the little pink-haired girl's ankle and lifted her upside down with one hand.

"Little girl, what are you doing?"

Storm held the little pink-haired boy, and with a series of rustling movements, fragments of "weapons" kept falling off the latter.

Cross, garlic, candlestick, brick...

Storm's eyelids twitched as he watched.

"The local residents are so rude!"

The little pink-haired boy was dizzy from Storm's actions and couldn't help but squeak and squeal.

Her voice reached the ears of the man beside her.

The bear, who had just been unconscious, suddenly opened its eyes and got up from the ground.

"Bonnie!"

Big Bear looked at his daughter, who was being "controlled" by Storm, and nervously raised his right hand, wanting to save her.

But Strom was too close to his daughter.

In the end, Big Bear simply raised his hands above his head and gave Storm a French military salute.

"Put Bonnie down! I'll do whatever you want!"

"dad!"

Joelle Bonney hung upside down in mid-air, large tears welling up in her eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, the way you're doing this makes it sound like I'm some kind of scumbag!"

Storm grabbed Bonnie's ankle and gently flung her towards the bear.

"Bartholomew the Bear, spend more time with your 'daughter'!"

"Bonnie!"

When Big Bear saw Bonnie flying over, he didn't care about anything else and immediately raised his hands to hug his daughter.

Are you alright?

"I'm fine!"

Bonnie curled up in the bear's arms, trying hard to hold back her tears.

"That uncle from just now—"

Standing to the side, Storm immediately cast a cold glance at him.

"Um?"

"That person just now—"

"whispering sound!"

Bonnie mustered her courage and continued.

"That person didn't hurt me."

Big Bear personally examined Bonnie's body and found that she was indeed unharmed, which put him at ease.

He looked up at Storm, recalling what the other had just said.

"What did you mean by what you just said?"

"Don't you know?"

Storm casually sculpted a clay doll of Joelie Bonney and poked her face with his finger.

"Your daughter has a terminal illness."
