The Navy's biggest stain?

Storm waved his hand dismissively.

"A hollow reputation, all of it is just a hollow reputation."

Okay, it seems I misunderstood.

Ace had initially thought that Storm would also have an "extraordinary" background.

After all, just look at the group of people he gathered, and you'll know what kind of "Tyrant," "Devil Child," and "son of the Pirate King" are...

Could someone capable of gathering such a group of people be an ordinary person?

What Ace didn't expect was that Storm was indeed no ordinary person; he had been a Marine...

This identity as a "naval officer" reminded Ace of his grandfather, Garp.

To be honest, Ace always felt that Garp, that old man, didn't seem like a proper Marine.

Where can I find Hero of the Marines who can adopt the son of the Pirate King?

Ace snapped out of his thoughts. He didn't say much, but simply raised his glass and toasted Storm.

After such a "self-destruction drama" orchestrated by Ace.

The banquet atmosphere reached its climax.

Sharing secrets with each other is undoubtedly a good way to quickly bridge the gap between people.

A lively banquet, a dramatic confession.

What was initially a somewhat unfamiliar relationship quickly became close.

At this moment.

Storm stood up and raised his glass to everyone.

His actions drew the attention of everyone present.

Everyone stood up and raised their glasses together.

Storm's gaze swept over the figures.

From the two brothers, Kid Killer, whom he initially found by chance on the Belfast Island in the South Blue;

Then came Bartholomew the Bear, personally recruited by the Sorbet Kingdom, and his "daughter," Jewelry Bonney;

Then, in Alabasta, they unexpectedly encounter Nico Robin, whom Aokiji forcibly entrusts his life to;

Finally, there's Nami and Portgas D. Ace, whom they gathered after arriving in the East Blue...

"From this moment on..."

Storm raised his glass high.

Everyone else raised their glasses as well.

Eight wine glasses clinked together in mid-air.

"We're all in the same boat now!"

Storm introduced himself solemnly.

"I am Captain Vongola Storm!"

"Kid / Killer!"

"Bear / Bonney!"

"Robin / Nami!"

"... Ace!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank heartily.

Ace originally only planned to follow Storm for a while, has now finally boarded the "pirate ship" completely.

After everyone finished their drinks, they all looked at Storm.

"Boss/Lord White Dragon/ Storm / Vongola..."

The somewhat disorganized names were eventually unified into one --

"Captain!"

"Although we don't have a group name, a flag, or a ship yet..."

Storm raised his glass and laughed heartily.

"But we have companions, we have a base, our pirate crew is officially established!"

Ace, Kid, and Killer, the three male members who had always dreamed of going to sea and becoming pirates, immediately erupted in thunderous cheers.

Unaware of what was going on, Bonney copied the three of them, hugging her cup and laughing heartily, drawing frequent glances from Bear.

Nami, the Little Thief Cat who considers herself the most loyal subordinate of White Dragon Haku, also joined in the cheers and celebrations.

Only Robin remained calm; she simply asked one question.

"Captain, what's the name of our pirate crew?"

The topic of "naming" has undoubtedly sparked a heated discussion.

"The Kid Pirates!"

Eustace Kid was the first to respond to this topic.

"Even before I set sail, I had already thought about what to name my pirate crew!"

"We must name the pirate crew after ourselves!"

"Because the Pirate King's pirate crew is named after him!"

Killer completely agreed with what Kid said.

However, the son of the Pirate King was very unhappy.

"Using your own name to name your pirate crew is a bit too old-fashioned, isn't it?"

Ace found a group of "like-minded" people who had the same experiences as him, and he became much more frank in his speech.

"If you ask me, our pirate crew could be called the Spade Pirates!"

"Tch! What Spade Pirates! That's such a pathetic name!"

Kid scoffed at Ace's words, letting out a cold snort.

"If you're going to name a pirate crew after playing cards, why not call it the Ace Pirates? Or the 'JOKER' Pirates?"

"There is a Shichibukai on the high seas, just like our Captain, Donquixote Doflamingo. Among his many nicknames is 'JOKER,' which is what the underworld calls him."

Robin, resting his chin on his hand, answered slowly and deliberately.

"So, in that case, the 'JOKER Pirates' isn't really suitable..."

"If it were up to me, I'd prefer the 'Flower Pirates' or the 'Flower Field Pirates'."

"Using the enemy's blood to irrigate the soil will surely make it fertile, and the flowers will become more and more beautiful."

Bonney's still here!

Bear nervously covered his daughter's ears, but he didn't say anything.

"Don't say such terrible things, Robin!"

"I originally thought 'Flower Field Pirates' was a great name..."

Nami mustered her courage and joined the discussion.

"Everyone, what do you think of the 'Money Pirates' or the 'Beli Pirates'?"

"We become pirates to plunder treasure! To collect all the treasures in the world!"

A group of people were talking at once, each with their own opinions and reasons.

In the end, even Bonney couldn't resist joining the conversation, shouting loudly while holding food.

"The Bonney Pirates! The Bonney Pirates!"

Storm rubbed his temples; he knew this topic would definitely spark a lot of discussion.

But.

"I've already thought about the name of the pirate crew, and also the flag!"

Storm clapped his hands to quiet everyone down, then announced directly.

"Storm Pirates!"

Vongola Storm, also known as Stormborn, naturally formed a pirate crew called the "Storm Pirates"!

"That's a pirate flag!"

With a flick of his right hand, Storm unleashed the power of the Clay- Clay Fruit.

On the land not far away.

A wall of pure black clay appeared instantly.

A relief of a solitary, three-headed White Dragon follows closely behind.

From a distance, it looks like a black pirate flag with a pure white three-headed dragon branded on it.

Storm Pirates.

A black White Dragon Flag.

Seeing that Storm was so well prepared, the other crew members had no objections.

The name and flag of the [Storm Pirates] were thus finalized.

However, Storm's preparations went far beyond that.

"I've already figured it out. You all seem honest, but you're all secretly plotting and want to be Captain yourselves."

Storm wasn't surprised by the reactions of Ace, Kid, and the others.

In fact, these individuals were all exceptionally talented, each possessing the ability and potential to become Captain.

Storm doesn't necessarily want to force them to stay on the same boat.

He has a fairly open-minded view of the internal relationships within the pirate crew...

His composure in the face of Storm.

Ace and Kid didn't say much, only letting out strange "hehe" laughs.

Robin shook her head; she truly had no intention of becoming Captain.

Nami waved her hands repeatedly; she had the desire to be Captain, but not the Captain.

Bonney is still clamoring to be Captain, so what can Bear do? He can only continue to spoil his daughter!

Eustass Kid!

Storm looked first at the red-haired hedgehog.

With a wave of his right hand, another wall of clay emerged from the depths of the earth.

On the black wall, two white bones are crossed together, with a grinning skull in the center. The skull wears square goggles on its forehead, just like those worn by Kid, and there are flame-shaped red patterns on each side of the skull.

"The Kid Pirates!"

"Captain!"

Kid and Killer looked at the "flag," they felt as if every detail on it pierced their hearts.

"I love this flag so much!"

Storm then looked at the son of the Pirate King.

"Portgas D. Ace!"

A third clay wall emerged from the depths of the earth.

A black flag, a red heart, and a skull in the center wearing Ace's signature hat with two small faces on it, one crying and one laughing.

"The Spade Pirates!"

"Whoosh~"

Ace couldn't help but whistle, but he still felt a little awkward.

"Not bad at all! But it's still a little different from the pirate flag I imagined..."

"Nicole Robin!"

Storm continued calling out the next member's name.

A fourth clay wall then appeared.

The black pirate flag, as always, features a giant, flamboyant pink flower in full bloom, its shape exactly matching the [Flower-Flower Fruit] recorded in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.

"The Flower Field Pirates!"

"Captain."

Robin looked at the flag, and her bright eyes instantly sparkled.

"Actually, I didn't really want to be a pirate Captain..."

"Nami!"

Storm continued his work, creating the fifth clay wall.

On the black pirate flag is a white four-leaf windmill, with a plump orange adorning the end of each blade.

"The Little Thief Cat Pirates!"

"Captain, please don't call me that nickname anymore!"

Nami held her hands to her chest, looking at her pirate flag with a mixture of emotion and joy.

"However... this pirate flag looks even prettier than Beli!"

"Last one is Bonney!"

Storm looked at Bonney, who was full of anticipation, but did not create another "pirate flag".

"Kids, study hard, play happily, don't become pirates!"

Bonney was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears.

"Dad! Uncle Storm is bullying me!!"

"Bonney..."

Bear looked at his daughter, completely at a loss.

He didn't think being a pirate was a good thing, but he couldn't bear to see his daughter cry.

In the end, Bear could only look at Storm with a mournful, pleading gaze.

Try to comfort her, at least try to comfort Bonney...

Storm didn't care about Bear, who was obsessed with his daughter.

He could barely accept having Bonney on his boat.

But a six-year-old girl wants to be a pirate Captain?

Don't even think about it!

"Everyone, this is the [Storm Pirates]!"

Storm spread his arms, looking with satisfaction at the five clay walls that stood quietly in the Sky Garden.

"Kid Pirates, Spade Pirates, Flower Field Pirates, Little Thief Cat Pirates..."

"This is the Storm Grand Fleet!"

Second update, so late... I'm guilty.

I'll continue updating tonight.

I apologize to everyone.
