The Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark World Are Born!

Being opportunistic isn't a skill exclusive to pirates.

Clearly, the so-called "Dark World King" is also an expert in this.

As Storm watched the Big News Bird Morgans and Shipping King Umit, his indifferent expression faded considerably.

His [Conqueror's Haki], which was originally poised to be unleashed, also stopped, and the murderous atmosphere that permeated the surroundings slowly disappeared.

Storm looked at the two Dark World Kings, two red lights rising in his eyes, and said calmly.

Get up.

These three short words sounded like heavenly music to Morgans and Umit.

"Thank you, sir!" x2

The two Dark World Kings, who had been filled with fear and unease, suddenly felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They stood up, their hearts filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.

To be honest.

Morgans and Umit witnessed firsthand the downfall of the King of Loan Sharks, the Major Undertaker, and the Old Warehouse Business; it would be a lie to say they weren't panicked.

As the saying goes, "When one's own kind grieves, the rabbit mourns the fox's death."

Three Dark World King were instantly defeated; how could the remaining two remain completely unaffected?

As for the Pleasure District Queen and the Gild Tesoro watching from the sidelines...

Both Morgans and Umit were aware of the two men's stance.

Tesoro and Stussy simply watched from the sidelines, of course, because they had already "betrayed" them!

Perhaps this "gathering of Dark World King" is actually a huge trap set for the Dark World King!

Damn it!

Damn it!

Morgans and Umit dared not direct their resentment at Storm.

But they not only have the audacity to be hostile and hateful towards Tesoro and Stussy, they have it in large numbers!

The Gild Tesoro and the Pleasure District Queen... those two bastards!

Storm's Observation Haki, capable of "reading minds," immediately revealed the inner thoughts of Big News Bird and Sea Transport King.

He had no objection to this.

Storm originally intended to take down the three King of Loan Sharks, Du Feld, Sea Transport King Umit, and Old Warehouse Business Giberson in one fell swoop.

These three Dark World Kings were also the three targets that Tesoro had previously highlighted as key targets.

As for the other three— Pleasure District Queen, Stussy; Big News Bird, Morgans; and Major Undertaker, Piekro.

Storm had originally intended to let them go.

According to his previous idea.

The dark world has seven kings—that's far too many!

Donquixote Doflamingo has already been "dealt with" ahead of time.

Of the remaining six people, half were cut off, leaving only three.

Stussy, the Pleasure District Queen.

Big News Bird Morgans.

Piekro, the Major Undertaker.

Gild Tesoro Tesoro.

These four will form the new "Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark World".

But plans can't keep up with changes.

Storm also did not expect that the Major Undertaker would fail after meeting the King of Loan Sharks.

Instead of surrendering, he dared to retaliate!

Then don't blame Storm for sending him away!

Dealing with the Major Undertaker Piekro and keeping the Sea Transport King Umit in the meantime would have roughly the same impact.

Furthermore...

The Gild Tesoro had already been recruited by Storm.

Stussy, the Pleasure District Queen, was also taken in by Storm as her subordinate.

Now, Big News Bird: Morgans and Shipping King Umit, have voluntarily surrendered.

Storm didn't seem to have any intention of refusing.

This moment.

A new Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark World has been born!

Gild Tesoro!

Shipping King Umit!

Big News Bird Morgans!

Stussy, the Pleasure District Queen!

Storm stretched out his right hand, and white clay surged forth like waves.

The clay directly swallowed up the King of Loan Sharks Lu Du Feld, the Major Undertaker Piekro, and the Old Warehouse Business Giberson, and secretly transferred them to the "Void Great Prison" connected by the [Door-Door Ring].

Now that Storm possesses the [Door-Door Ring], he can create separate dimensions for imprisoning prisoners, so he no longer needs to eliminate the enemy on the spot.

Judging from the [Big Trophy] that popped up earlier.

The three Dark World Kings, including the King of Loan Sharks, were all six-star powerhouses, nearly on par with Donquixote Doflamingo in strength.

Such powerful individuals are quite "rare" on the high seas.

Storm intends to imprison these three Dark World Kings.

In the future, he will also be able to regularly harvest six-star [Diamond Trophy] from these people.

The white clay vanished into the void, and the few Dark World King who had just been defeated also disappeared, leaving only four single sofas made of clay in their place.

"Sit down!"

Storm waved to the four people in front of him.

Tesoro, Stussy, Umit, and Morgans immediately obeyed the order and sat down together in front of Storm.

But Tesoro and Stussy sat to one side.

Umit and Morgans sat on the other side.

The four newly crowned "Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark World" are clearly divided into two factions.

Tesoro glanced at Shipping King Umit opposite him, and felt a slight pang of regret.

He had his eye on Umit's business and wanted to use the White Dragon's power to sweep away all of the latter's wealth.

In fact, the three men Tesoro mentioned earlier— the King of Loan Sharks, the Sea Transport King, and the Old Warehouse Business —were among the three wealthiest Dark World King.

This is also the fundamental reason why Tesoro previously proposed to eliminate these three.

As for the other three Dark World Kings...

Big News Bird makes money through newspapers and advertising.

The Pleasure District Queen makes money off women.

Major Undertaker make their money from the dead...

The development of these three individuals' influence and the scale of their personal wealth are clearly inferior to the first three.

But to Tesoro's great regret...

That madman, Piekro the Major Undertaker, actually dared to attack the White Dragon.

In the end, the Sea Transport King wasn't killed; only the King of Loan Sharks and the Old Warehouse Business were dealt with...

Tesoro did feel a little regretful.

As for Umit and Morgans on the other side, they looked at Tesoro and Stussy with extremely cold eyes.

In their view, if it weren't for this "cheating couple," they would never have inexplicably become someone else's subordinates!

I bitterly resent spending year after year embroidering gold thread, only to have it all become a wedding gown for someone else.

The family business, built up over decades of hard work... just like that, became someone else's property.

How could Umit and Morgans not hate them?

Sparks were brewing between Tesoro and Stussy, and between Morgans and Umit.

Storm turned a blind eye to this.

He couldn't even guarantee Tesoro and Stussy's "loyalty".

The newly recruited Umit and Morgans... are even less likely to be considered "loyal".

To be fair...

Storm didn't take the "Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark World" in front of him too seriously.

If conditions permit.

Storm wouldn't mind having his Storm Pirates replace the so-called "Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark World".

Unfortunately, his Storm Pirates are still "developing," and none of the "talented monsters" have reached their peak strength yet, so they have no way to replace the "Dark World King."

Let's use these four people for now!

Regardless of any conflicts or confrontations they may have with each other.

As long as it doesn't affect Storm's personal plans.

Storm can simply sit back and relax.

And.

These "Four Heavenly Kings of the Dark World" distrust each other.

On the contrary, it better suits Storm's requirements...

Storm put aside the jumble of thoughts in his mind, looked at the two "old men" first, and spoke.

"Tesoro, Stussy, halt the attack on Umit's shipping company! Send someone to clean up and subdue the influence and territory of the Major Undertaker."

"Yes, sir!" x2

Without hesitation, Tesoro and Stussy took out Den Den Mushi on the spot and contacted their respective subordinates, informing them that the attack target had been changed.

Seeing this, both Morgans and Umit looked rather grim.

So, before they even reached Gran Tesoro, the people here were already plotting to seize their property?

This is really...

"Umit!"

Storm invoked the name of the Sea Transport King.

"Now that you've surrendered, you'll cooperate with Tesoro and Stussy's actions! Take over the power and wealth of the King of Loan Sharks, the Old Warehouse Business, and the Major Undertaker."

Umit hadn't expected this kind of mission to be waiting for him.

Inheriting the wealth of three Dark World Kings?

Even if his power is damaged this time, the wealth of the three Dark World King can completely make up for all his previous losses!

Shipping King Umit had just been resentful of being recruited by Storm, immediately stood up and said loudly.

"Yes, sir!"

Making money is nothing to be ashamed of.

While retrieving the Den Den Mushi and contacting his subordinates, Umit had even more on his mind.

There were originally seven kings in the dark world.

Doflamingo is "dead".

The remaining six people divided up the power and wealth of that "Heavenly Yaksha".

But now, three more Dark World King have been "killed" at once.

The remaining three, plus the Gild Tesoro, can then take over the wealth and power of these three individuals.

Not only that.

Originally, the "business" in the dark world was for the seven kings to profit from.

Now there are only four people left!

This went on and on...

Umit quickly did some mental calculations.

This is not a loss at all; on the contrary, it's a huge profit!

Having just pledged allegiance to Lord White Dragon was definitely the right choice!

Big news! Big news indeed!

Morgans was getting restless as he watched the other three keep dialing Den Den Mushi.

He jumped up from the sofa with a bang, yelling shrilly.

"Sir! I can also help you inventory and take over the assets of the King of Loan Sharks and his gang!"

Big news is important.

But money and wealth are equally important!

Big News Bird World Economic Journal, founded by Morgans, isn't something that grew on air.

If given the opportunity, they could plunder the wealth of other Dark World King.

Morgans would not hesitate for a moment.

"You?"

Big News Bird volunteered for the mission, but Storm had some doubts about his abilities.

"Besides a flock of News Coo delivering newspapers, do you have any other forces under your command?"

It's understandable that Storm had some doubts.

Among the several Dark World Kings.

Morgans' business is undoubtedly the most "legitimate".

Aside from its penchant for spreading fake news, Morgans' World Economic Journal is essentially a legitimate company.

This is why Storm had not previously targeted Morgans or the World Economic Journal, owned by Big News Bird, for looting.

In addition.

Storm just let go of Shipping King Umit, whose business dealings were also rather "legitimate."

At least the World Government and the Marine Headquarters sometimes borrow Umit's logistical resources.

The construction of Egghead Island, that "island of the future," relied on Umit's logistics company...

"My lord! I am, after all, the king of the underworld!"

Morgans protested.

"How could my subordinates consist of just a flock of birds?"

"And journalists, photographers, columnists...?"

Storm glanced at the Big News Bird and waved his hand impatiently.

"Since you want to work too, then join Tesoro and the others! The Heavenly Yaksha, the King of Loan Sharks, the Old Warehouse Business, the Major Undertaker... these are the targets."

"Hurry up and get rid of these small targets, there's a 'big job' waiting for you afterwards!"

"Whole Cake Island, BIG MOM Pirates!"

Second update.

Goodnight everyone.
