The World's Greatest Swordsman, Hawk Eyes Mihawk, and an Eight-Star Big Trophy!

The World's Greatest Swordsman, Hawk Eyes Mihawk, Eight-Star Big Trophy!

As Storm gazed at the [Moonlight Trophy] that emerged from the void, he immediately deactivated his [Clay Fruit] ability, and his entire body rapidly shrank, returning him from a giant to his original form.

"This Eight-Star Big Trophy is truly worthy of the title of the World's Greatest Swordsman!"

Storm recalled his encounters with Hawk Eyes Mihawk over the past few days.

Even setting aside the opponent's Swordsmanship, that special technique of "Conqueror's Haki" alone is enough to explain everything!

"Conqueror's Haki..."

Storm raised his right hand, his fingers opening and closing a few times, and his eyes flickered with a change in expression.

"Forget it! Let's take stock of all the [Big Trophy] we have!"

[Figure King] inflicts severe injuries on Hawk Eyes Mihawk, causing him to collapse to the ground.

The other person was unable to regain consciousness for the time being.

Storm simply summoned his [Big Trophy].

Aside from Hawk Eyes Mihawk's Eight-Star [Moonlight Trophy].

Storm still has quite a few six-star [Blood Diamond Trophy].

A total of eight Death Diamond Trophy —all earned through the selfless contributions of prisoners in Impel Down's Infinite Hell!

Currently, Storm's attributes and abilities are mostly at least seven stars, meaning that a six-star Big Trophy cannot improve his stats.

However, this does not mean that the six-star Big Trophy is useless to Storm!

Storm raised his right hand, and the five [Demon Ring] were reflected in his pupils.

[Clay Ring], [Nine-Tails Fox Ring], [Moa Moa Ring], [Rumble-Rumble Ring], [Float-Float Ring]...

Long ago.

Storm had been thinking about how to upgrade the quality level of these [Demon Ring].

Because apart from the initial [Demon Ring], all the [Demon Ring Imitation] he obtained afterward were only six-star items, capable of only exerting the abilities of a six-star Devil Fruit.

Affected by the level of [Demon Ring - Imitation].

Apart from the [Clay Fruit].

Other Devil Fruit, such as the Nine-Tails Fox Fruit, the More-More Fruit, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and the Float-Float Fruit, which are superior in both ability and potential, cannot unleash their full power.

Storm initially considered two solutions.

Alternatively, they could transfer the abilities of other Devil Fruit into the Nine-Star [Demon Ring] to unleash their greater power.

Alternatively, upgrade the quality level of the [Demon Ring - Imitation]!

After some thought.

Storm decided to use the second method.

However, at that time, Storm himself did not have enough [Big Trophy] - even if he had a six-star [Diamond Trophy], he valued improving his [Physique] and [Haki] attributes more.

Now the opportunity has finally arrived!

A Death [Blood Diamond Trophy] can directly upgrade the power level of a [Demon Ring - Imitation] or a Devil Fruit from the original "six-star" to "seven-star".

Storm looked at the five [Demon Ring] he possessed.

Apart from the original Nine-Star [Demon Ring].

The other four are all [Demon Ring - Imitation]!

Storm first looked at the [Moa Moa Ring].

The power of the [More-More Fruit] is beyond doubt.

[More-More Fruit] can freely multiply attributes, even by ten or a hundred times.

This Devil Fruit is of great significance to Storm.

Without hesitation, he took out two Blood Diamond Trophy and put them into the Moa Moa Ring.

A dazzling light, imperceptible to others, flashed by.

The quality level of the [Demon Ring - Imitation] and the [More-More Fruit] contained within it has undergone a leap forward at this moment!

[Demon Ring - Imitation: ★★★★★★★] (Seven Stars)

[More-More Fruit: ★★★★★★★] (Seven Stars)

"A seven-star [More-More Fruit]!"

Storm closed his eyes and silently sensed the power of the [More-More Fruit] now.

He upgraded the previous [More-More Fruit] to six stars—that is, the [Awakening] level—by adding points to it.

However, it is different from the [Clay Fruit].

After Storm upgraded his Clay- Clay Fruit to the Awakening level, he immediately gained the ability to assimilate clay into the surrounding natural environment.

However, the [More-More Fruit] does not possess this special ability to assimilate its surroundings...

This is determined by the different types of Paramecia Devil Fruit.

However, the Awakening of the [More-More Fruit] also has its unique aspects.

Before [Awakening].

The [More-More Fruit] can only apply this "multiplication" ability to other substances that Storm has touched.

However, after [Awakening].

The power of the [More-More Fruit] can now be applied to Storm himself!

However, overall...

Even after [Awakening], the [More-More Fruit]'s power remains very "simple and unpretentious"—it's just super-amplified!

Now, Storm has further upgraded [More-More Fruit] to seven stars.

He carefully sensed it, but didn't feel any special changes. He could only sense that the upper limit of the [More-More Fruit] had been broken.

Simply put

The original [More-More Fruit] could only achieve a maximum "100-fold increase" with its "Super Multiplier".

The [More-More Fruit] now boasts a "super multiplier" effect that has reached a "thousand-fold increase"!

Certainly.

Based on Storm's previous experience...

When using [More-More Fruit], it's not about simply maximizing the multiplication number to achieve the best multiplication effect.

It's like increasing the speed of the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit] by a hundred times...

It's really easy to bump into a wall.

"The best way to use the [More-More Fruit] is to maximize its multiplication effect within the limits of one's own control!"

"A thousand times the [More-More Fruit]... still requires constant practice and adaptation to its power..."

Storm temporarily put away the [Moa Moa Ring], which had been upgraded to seven stars, and focused his attention on the other rings.

He poured one Blood Diamond Trophy after another into these rings.

[Rumble-Rumble Ring / Float-Float Ring: ★★★★★★★] (Seven-star)

The four Blood Diamond Trophy vanished instantly.

Instead, two [Rumble-Rumble Ring] and [Float-Float Ring] that had been upgraded to seven stars were added.

The fighting power of "Whitebeard the Second." and "Golden Lion II." is likely to undergo a significant leap forward...

Cough!

[Moa Moa Ring].

[Rumble-Rumble Ring].

[Float-Float Ring].

After Storm upgraded the three rings to seven stars, he had already used up six of his Blood Diamond Trophy, leaving him with two Death Diamond Trophy.

After a moment's thought, he upgraded the last [Demon Ring - Imitation] to seven stars as well.

However, the [Nine-Tails Fox Fruit] inside was not upgraded along with him.

"This [Mythical Zoan: Nine-Tails Fox Fruit]..."

While Storm was looking at the [Nine-Tails Fox Ring], the image of another Devil Fruit flashed through his mind.

"I still have a [Logia Flame- Flame-Flame Fruit] in my hand..."

Storm has had the [Flame-Flame Fruit] for some time now.

He had no intention of "eating" the [Flame-Flame Fruit- Flame-Flame Fruit] before—in fact, he gave it away twice.

Neither Nami nor Ace had any interest in the [Flame-Flame Fruit].

This Logia -Logia Devil Fruit, which was actually quite good, remained in Storm's possession.

Just like that [Tyrannosaurus Fruit] that's almost covered in dust...

But no matter how bad the [Flame-Flame Fruit] is...

In Storm's eyes, its significance and value cannot be compared to that of the Tyrannosaurus Fruit.

As for the [Mythical Zoan Nine-Tails Fox Fruit]...

Back then, Storm was willing to "abandon" the Nine-Tails Fox Fruit once for the sake of the Float-Float Fruit.

So now, Storm could also "abandon" the Nine-Tails Fox Fruit for the sake of the Flame-Flame Fruit a second time.

"If nobody else is using it, then I'll use it!"

"To revive the glory of the Burning Fire is our inescapable duty!"

Storm summoned the final Blood Diamond Trophy.

With one wish, I obtained a six-star [Demon Ring - Imitation].

One skill point upgrade grants a six-star [Awakening] [Flame-Flame Fruit]!

The [Flame-Flame Ring] is born!

Storm now possesses six [Demon Ring]!

He wasn't in a hurry to digest these newly enhanced and acquired [Devil Fruit] abilities. Instead, he took out the Eight-Star [Moonlight Trophy] that he had just obtained by defeating Hawk Eyes Mihawk.

"My [Armament Haki] level is seven and a half stars, there's no rush to improve this ability..."

"As for the [Physique] attribute, [Endurance] is eight stars, and the remaining [Strength] and [Speed]..."

"It's you I choose, [Strength] attribute!"

Storm directly invested the final Eight-Star Big Trophy into his [Strength] attribute, upgrading it to Eight-Star as well.

[Strength: ★★★★★★★★] (Eight Stars)

From this point on, Storm's [Strength] and [Stamina] attributes both reached Eight-Star!

Thanks to these two attributes, Storm's [Physique] has also been directly promoted to eight stars!

"Wuhu! Cheers! Applause!"

A familiar feeling of hunger welled up in his heart, Storm unleashed his [Clay Fruit] ability, creating several Blue-Eyes White Dragon made of porcelain clay, which he then sent to the sea next to him to capture Sea King.

While preparing the food, Storm thought for a moment, then walked over to Hawk Eyes Mihawk and silently took out a Camera Den Den Mushi.

It is unknown how long Hawk Eyes Mihawk had been unconscious.

The aroma of roasted meat wafted into his nose, Hawk Eyes Mihawk instantly opened his eyes.

Memories of what happened before he fell into a coma surfaced in Hawk Eyes Mihawk's mind.

"He actually got defeated by that blasphemous Swordsmanship guy, White Dragon..."

Hawk Eyes Mihawk lay deep in the crater, gazing at the vast sky, a long-forgotten sense of defeat welling up inside him.

"White Dragon, what's wrong with that guy...?"

Even after awakening, Hawk Eyes Mihawk still couldn't comprehend the White Dragon's bizarre abilities.

Based on previously obtained information, isn't White Dragon's ability the [Clay Fruit]?

The Clay Fruit can be used to create a flying Blue-Eyes White Dragon is already outrageous enough...

That bizarre form, as if its entire body were engulfed in white flames, resembling a demon king...

What exactly is it?

Hawk Eyes Mihawk struggled to sit up straight, raising his right hand as if to cover his head.

But a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

Hawk Eyes Mihawk paused for a moment, then turned to look at his right hand—which could no longer be called a "hand" at all!

It was a large, flat wing covered with dense, glossy, dark brown feathers, which would be considered a very beautiful and majestic wing in the eagle world.

"..."

Hawk Eyes Mihawk stared at his "arm" and fell silent instantly, his mind going completely blank.

His right hand, capable of wielding a knife, drinking alcohol, and farming...

How did it turn into a wing?

It took a full half minute.

Hawk Eyes Mihawk finally recovered from the intense mental shock and barely regained his senses from his dazed state.

Only then did he have time to notice the changes in other places.

For example.

It wasn't just his right hand that was transformed into wings, but also his left hand.

For example,

His feet were once again transformed into a pair of slender yet ferocious bird claws.

For example...

His mouth was also transformed into a sharp, slightly hooked bird's beak.

At this moment, Hawk Eyes Mihawk didn't seem like "the World's Greatest Swordsman with eyes as sharp as an eagle," but rather like "a harpy, half-human and half-beast"...

"White Dragon!!!"

Even if Hawk Eyes Mihawk used his bird claws, he could figure out who had turned him into this grotesque figure.

With a burst of [Haki], Hawk Eyes Mihawk forcibly expelled the power of the [Clay Fruit] from him, and his entire body returned to its original human form.

"Yay ya ya da thief~ (That's enough!)"

Storm's voice reached Hawk Eyes Mihawk's ears at that moment.

"I put in so much effort to turn your body into the state you just saw, and you don't even cherish it at all."

"What a cold-hearted guy."

Storm is holding a piece of Sea King roasted meat in his right hand and a photograph between his left and right hands.

With a flick of his finger, a "Limited Edition Harpy Sleeping Face Photo" flew directly in front of Hawk Eyes Mihawk.

"Don't you think this image suits your title, Hawk Eyes?"

Hawk Eyes Mihawk looked at the photograph at his feet; with his exceptional eyesight, he could clearly see every detail in it.

"White Dragon, you bastard..."

Hawk Eyes Mihawk was furious.

"They even took pictures..."

"After all, I'm the victor!"

"Storm said with a straight face."

"I've already been very merciful by not cutting off your head or breaking your arms."

"It's just taking a few photos, no need to make such a fuss, right?"

"The world's second greatest swordsman"

Just taking a few photos... that's all?

Hawk Eyes Mihawk's pupils trembled violently.

Being photographed like this is worse than being killed!

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you standing there for?"

Storm waved the Sea King roasted meat in his hand at Hawk Eyes Mihawk.

"Since things have come to this, let's eat first!"
