Chopping Vegetables, Nothing More! The King Becomes the Dead!

The New World, Gran Tesoro.

Five Dark World King walked together under the sunlight, with the central Golden Pagoda ahead.

"The Whole Cake Island Tea Party is in three days!"

The Big News Bird, Morgans, strutted proudly and proudly at the front, its bright and sharp eyes constantly scanning the surrounding environment.

"Every year, the Totto Land Tea Party has an impact on the world order and is a valuable source of news material."

"I have a feeling that some big news is about to happen!"

Standing next to the Big News Bird was a middle-aged man with a thick Blackbeard beard and a top hat.

Shipping King Umit.

"You say this every year, but you rarely come across any truly big news worth sending around the world."

The Shipping King Umit looked very serious, his demeanor somewhat out of place with the noisy atmosphere around him.

"Morgans, I'm so fed up with your 'fake news'!"

"That's a very harsh criticism! hiccup"

With a loud burp, Giberson, the Old Warehouse Business was slightly behind, chimed in, shaking the bottle in his hand, looking half-drunk and half-awake.

"The wine from Gran Tesoro is really potent! I'm going to stock up on several warehouses of it to take with me!"

Behind Morgans, Umit, and Giberson, the three Dark World Kings, followed two tall men.

Every time I see you, I feel incredibly unlucky!

The King of Loan Sharks, Lou Du Feld, had a cigar dangling from his mouth, a burly face, and a rude tone.

"A funeral director, instead of hiding properly in a coffin, has to wander around in front of me!"

"When are you going to die, mortician?"

The person Lou Du Feld openly mocked was Piekro, a fellow Dark World King and the Major Undertaker.

Piekro wore a clown mask on his face, behind which was a thick mane of fur like a lion's mane. He also carried a huge scythe as tall as a normal person on his shoulder, and his whole body exuded a cold aura of death.

"You think I don't feel unlucky to see you, Du Feld Field!"

Piekro was completely unfazed by Lu Du Feld's taunts and responded in kind.

"The smell of blood emanating from you is much stronger than mine!"

"I absolutely refuse to be mocked by a hypocrite like you!"

Big News Bird Morgans.

Umit, the Sea Transport King.

Giberson, Old Warehouse Business.

Lou Du Feld, the King of Loan Sharks.

Piekro, the Major Undertaker.

The five Dark World King do not get along well, and their relationship is far from friendly.

The Gild Tesoro emerged from the central Golden Pagoda, with the last Dark World King — the Pleasure District Queen, Stussy— beside him.

"Hahaha! Good morning, Your Majesties! Welcome to Gran Tesoro!"

Tesoro opened his arms wide, a bright smile spreading across his face, and greeted them warmly.

"If you don't mind, I'll see you off!"

Tesoro's gaze lingered briefly on the three men: the King of Loan Sharks, Lou Du Feld, the Sea Transport King, Umit, and the Old Warehouse Business, Giberson. Then he raised his right hand, and the gold around him floated like seawater.

In the hands of the Gild Tesoro, the heavy, hard gold was like a lump of soft clay, which he manipulated and changed at his will, quickly forming a golden staircase that encircled the central Golden Pagoda.

"The Golden Spiral Staircase!"

Big News Bird Morgans pulled out a Camera Den Den Mushi from somewhere, took a series of photos of the towering golden staircase, and was the first to step onto it.

"How magnificent! How beautiful!"

"It really is quite beautiful!"

The King of Loan Sharks, Lou Du Feld, stretched out his right hand, stroked the handrail of the Golden Spiral Staircase, casually broke off a piece of gold, and pretended to slip it into his pocket.

"With so much gold, if we could use it as collateral, we could get a considerable amount of money in loans."

The other Dark World King also offered polite compliments and praise for the Golden Spiral Staircase.

Tesoro glanced at the King of Loan Sharks, but didn't say much. He simply used the power of the [Gold-Gold Fruit] to restore the small piece of golden armrest to its original form.

The Gild Tesoro ascended the Golden Spiral Staircase together with six Dark World Kings.

The golden staircase to heaven then started operating automatically, carrying the group to the top of the central Golden Pagoda.

"Hahaha! The stairs are moving by themselves!"

Morgans then took a series of photos of his surroundings, looking just like a tourist on vacation.

"It's so convenient and saves so much trouble."

In no time at all.

Tesoro and Stussy then led the other five Dark World Kings to the top floor of the central Golden Pagoda.

The Golden Spiral Staircase had just transported everyone to the top of the tower.

Morgans, standing at the very front, immediately spotted the figure that had been waiting for him at the top of the tower.

"... White Dragon?"

After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Morgans froze for a moment.

"Or... the Red Dragon Emperor?"

During the previous Sabaody Archipelago incident, the invincible Red Dragon Emperor left a very deep impression on Morgans.

Moreover, Morgans was also affected by the "Thunder Tsunami" unleashed by the combined forces of Golden Lion II and Whitebeard the Second.

If it weren't for the fact that the Big News Bird woke up early enough and escaped quickly enough...

He's probably already been captured by the Navy and forcibly "recruited" by the World Government!

'What's the White Dragon? Or perhaps the Red Dragon Emperor doing here?'

The moment the thought crossed Morgans' mind, his two bird legs moved involuntarily, and he dashed to the other's side in a flash, taking out a new Camera Den Den Mushi from his pocket.

"Sir, do you have time for an interview?"

"Interview?"

Storm glanced at the Big News Bird Morgans with a puzzled look and said casually.

"I don't really like your 'text DJ,' and I especially dislike your 'clickbait' news style."

"Writer of sensational headlines?"

Morgans, displaying his shamelessness, praised it on the spot.

"Your words are truly insightful, sir!"

Insightful?

You little brat!

Storm curled his lip.

Following Morgans, Tesoro, Stussy, and several other Dark World King also arrived at the top of the tower.

Tesoro immediately retracted the Golden Spiral Staircase, effectively cutting off their "escape route."

"Shichibukai?"

"White Dragon?"

"The fifth Pirate Emperor?"

"The Red Dragon Emperor?"

Clearly, Shipping King Umit had no suspicion whatsoever about Storm's appearance.

The Dark World King stared in disbelief, shouting out their respective names for Storm.

Storm ignored the astonished Dark World King and looked at Tesoro to confirm.

"You should be all ready by now, right?"

"Yes, Lord White Dragon!"

Tesoro beamed with excitement.

"Although time is a bit tight, because I took over Donquixote Doflamingo's remaining forces in advance, and with Miss Stussy's help... there won't be any problems."

Storm has ideas about cleaning up the dark world.

Tesoro naturally cooperated fully with the adult's actions.

Almost at the same time that the Dark World King arrived in Gran Tesoro.

Tesoro had also made prior arrangements with various forces, planning to take down multiple Dark World King simultaneously!

To be precise...

Tesoro is planning to target King of Loan Sharks Du Feld, Old Warehouse Business Giberson, and Sea Transport King Umit!

These three are also Tesoro's main targets.

Shipping King Umit and others were baffled by the communication between Storm and Tesoro.

But Storm didn't give these people time to think.

He calmly glanced at the several Dark World Kings, his eyes narrowing slightly. A thick, black and red arc of electricity shot out, heading straight for the King of Loan Sharks, Lu Du Feld, who stood motionless in place.

[Conqueror's Haki]!

As he watched the oncoming black and red arc of electricity, Lou Du Feld's pupils contracted sharply.

'Move! You two dead legs!'

A furious roar erupted within Lu Du Feld, who desperately wanted to escape the spot and avoid the terrifying, astonishing black and red arc of electricity.

However, his reaction speed was far too slow in the face of Storm's [Conqueror's Haki]!

Boom!

A thunderous roar, like a bolt from the blue, resounded from the central Golden Pagoda.

The King of Loan Sharks, Luther Du Feld, was hit head-on by Storm's [Conqueror's Haki]. His eyes rolled back immediately, he lost consciousness, and fainted on the spot.

A crystal-clear Diamond Trophy appeared before Storm's eyes.

[Diamond Trophy: Lou Du Feld, the King of Loan Sharks]

[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★]

"Conqueror's Haki!?"

Who exactly are you?

"Louis Du Feld!!"

The Dark World King were all horrified by Storm's sudden and unexpected attack.

Piekro, the Major Undertaker had been exchanging barbs and mocking the King of Loan Sharks, almost instinctively sprinted forward, rushing to Storm's side at an incredible speed.

Piekro swung the huge scythe in his hand, the curved, sharp blade whistling through the air, as if he were about to take the head of the enemy in front of him.

Storm's expression remained unchanged. His masterful use of [Conqueror's Haki] erupted from his body once more, transforming into black and red arcs of electricity that directly struck the oncoming Major Undertaker.

The attack speed of [Conqueror's Haki] far exceeds the scythe-swinging speed of the Dark World King.

Piekro's enormous scythe was only half-swung.

Storm's [Conqueror's Haki] struck first, hitting him directly in the body.

Boom!

Another thunderclap boomed.

Major Undertaker Piekro's plane crashed en route.

A six-star Big Trophy once again sprang into existence in the void in front of Storm.

[Diamond Trophy: The Major Undertaker Piekro]

[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★]

The instant defeat of the King of Loan Sharks and the Major Undertaker.

The remaining few Dark World King were still conscious immediately realized that something was wrong.

Big News Bird and Sea Transport King both wanted to make a run for it.

But even faster than them was the Old Warehouse Business, Giberson.

As one of the Dark World King and a notorious Old Warehouse Business, Giberson's "warehouse" stores countless treasures from the sea, including Devil Fruit.

Giberson himself is also a Devil Fruit User!

[Paramecia Devil Fruit - Warehouse Fruit] Devil Fruit User!

A series of peculiar ripples, imperceptible to the naked eye, appeared at the top of the central Golden Pagoda.

Giberson was about to activate his [Warehouse Fruit] ability to hide in the warehouse space and avoid the attack from this terrifying enemy of unknown identity.

But before Giberson could completely hide inside the alternate dimension warehouse...

Storm's [Conqueror's Haki] struck like lightning, hitting Giberson directly in the body.

[Conqueror's Haki] transformed into black and red arcs of electricity, wrapping around Giberson's body. The top-level Conqueror's Haki directly broke through his Devil Fruit ability, forcibly dispelling his ability that was only partially activated!

Giberson was pulled back from the alternate dimension by Storm, following in the footsteps of the King of Loan Sharks and the Major Undertaker.

[Diamond Trophy: Old Warehouse Business - Giberson]

[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★]

Seeing this.

The Big News Bird and the Sea Transport King, who hadn't even managed to escape yet, instantly abandoned any thought of resistance.

Morgans stood beside Storm, and Umit stood opposite Storm.

The two Dark World King exchanged a glance, before Storm's [Conqueror's Haki] could descend once more.

The two knelt down on one knee with perfect understanding, bowing their proud "kingly" heads to Storm.

"My lord! I am willing to submit!" x2

First update.

It's a little earlier than yesterday.

Midnight... it's probably midnight, and...
