Harvesting the Big Star Trophy!

'Eight-Star Big Trophy...'

Storm gazed at the [Moonlight Trophy] that had sprung up in the void, a faint trace of regret flashing across his eyes.

'I thought I was going to get a top-tier Nine-Star Big Trophy...'

Charlotte Linlin's final outburst, a final Awakening achieved by burning her lifespan and plundering souls, grants her a special ability similar to "Dynamax," causing her power to skyrocket to a level comparable to Storm's.

At least at the moment of the battle, Charlotte Linlin's [Strength] attribute was at least Nine-Star!

Storm originally thought that Charlotte Linlin's overall rating for the Big Trophy would reach nine stars after such an extreme burst of power.

Just like his previous battle with Gecko Moria, who used the special ability of the [Shadow-Shadow Fruit] to forcibly raise his overall strength to a higher level, thus "contributing" a precious seven-star [Star Trophy] to Storm.

Unexpectedly, Charlotte Linlin's outburst only resulted in her providing an Eight-Star [Moonlight Trophy]...

'Is it because they only develop strength and not other physical abilities?'

A thought flashed through Storm's mind, but he shook his head.

Charlotte Linlin is extremely powerful.

For example, even with all the attacks Storm just now, he couldn't break through the "Steel Balloon".

This talent is ridiculously strong!

I'll have to find an opportunity to study it later...

However, Charlotte Linlin's weaknesses are also very "short".

Before Straw Hat Kid and Senryodouke to power".

Charlotte Linlin could almost be called the "shame of the Yonko," constantly being attacked by various forces, even minor monsters...

Eight stars it is!

Storm put away Charlotte Linlin's [Moonlight Trophy], and with it, he withdrew his fist.

The colossal fist, resembling a towering white jade pillar that nearly shattered the entire ocean floor of Whole Cake Island, grabbed the severely injured and unconscious Charlotte Linlin and lifted her up from beneath the sea.

The Void Great Prison, open!

Storm activated the power of the [Door-Door Ring] and threw the severely injured and unconscious Charlotte Linlin into the alternate dimension created by the [Door-Door Fruit], imprisoning her there.

He was very interested in Charlotte Linlin's many abilities, such as the Soul-Soul Fruit, the "Steel Balloon," and so on.

However, now is clearly not the best time to deal with this "captured emperor".

Lock them up first!

Having just sent Charlotte Linlin to the "Void Great Prison," Storm remembered another Pirate Emperor—

Beasts Kaido.

Although Beasts Kaido and Charlotte Linlin formed an alliance.

But the sight of him turning and running away without hesitation... was truly pathetic!

In any case, Storm had no idea that Beasts Kaido would abandon Charlotte Linlin, his temporary teammate, and run away.

But upon closer reflection, this seems to fit Beasts Kaido well.

Beasts Kaido in news reports: Pirate Emperor, Strongest Creature, invincible guardian king of Wano Country.

Beasts Kaido in the real sea: a cunning, shrewd, and treacherous middle-aged drunkard who can't even tame his own daughter.

Opportunistic and quick to flee... that's so Kaido.

But Beasts Kaido, who escaped, still provided Storm with a brand new trophy.

[Star Trophy: Beasts Kaido]

[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★★]

Not so long ago, Storm defeated Beasts Kaido and hunted down his Eight-Star Big Trophy.

Now that this Pirate Emperor has been "severely injured" again, the only thing he can offer is a lower-level Seven-Star Trophy.

'Surrender gets you a trophy, run away gets you a trophy too...'

Storm accepted Beasts Kaido's [Star Trophy] with a smile.

As for catching up with the equally wounded Azure Dragon and fighting it to the death...

Storm doesn't have that idea for the time being.

Let's digest all the gains from this campaign of conquering Totto Land before considering other combat operations!

After Storm finished collecting the two Pirate Emperors ' [Big Trophy], he was about to turn around and return to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon behind him.

But at that moment...

Storm's Observation Haki suddenly detected two rapidly moving auras.

His eyes narrowed instantly, and he immediately unleashed [Conqueror's Haki]. A thick, black-red arc of electricity shot out and locked onto the two rapidly moving figures.

Boom!

A thunderous roar echoed once more across the skies of Whole Cake Island.

The thunder was both the sound of Storm's [Conqueror's Haki] erupting and...

The thunder of Zeus the thundercloud roared!

"The Mighty Drum!"

A dazzling burst of lightning erupted from Zeus's cloud body, and bolts of lightning as thick as buckets were released from the dark clouds, attempting to attack the White Dragon.

At the same time.

Beside Zeus, the sun Prometheus, whose light had dimmed, also erupted a bright and blazing pillar of fire at this moment.

"Fire from Heaven!"

The thunder and fire attacks formed by the "Mighty Drum" and "heavenly fire" intertwined and mixed together in the sky.

White lightning, orange flames, and black-red arcs of electricity collided in mid-air, instantly unleashing a deafening roar.

Boom--

Storm's [Conqueror's Haki] transformed into black and red arcs of electricity, utterly crushing the combined lightning and fire offensive launched by Zeus and Prometheus.

The seemingly powerful lightning and fire pillars were as fragile as paper in front of Nine-Star Conqueror's Haki.

Storm's [Conqueror's Haki] continued to spread forward, locking onto the two high-level Homies from a distance.

No, they are three high-level Homies!

On Zeus, the Zeus, lies a broken sword that remains unseen.

Those are the remains of the Emperor's Sword, Napoleon!

The black and red arcs of electricity formed by Storm's [Conqueror's Haki] were like a high-energy Electric Net, directly trapping Zeus and Prometheus.

These two advanced Homies were special soul lifeforms created by Charlotte Linlin using the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit and fusing it with natural elements.

Ordinary physical attacks have virtually no effect on Zeus and Prometheus.

Even attacks imbued with Armament Haki have no effect on this Soul Body that lacks a physical body.

(During the Totto Land arc, Luffy, even with Armament Haki, was unable to harm Prometheus.)

But [Conqueror's Haki] is ultimately different.

In particular, Storm's [Conqueror's Haki] has already reached the level of Nine-Star!

Faced with Storm's highly concentrated Conqueror's Haki, the two high-level Homies' will to resist melted away like ice and snow until they completely lost consciousness.

[The Star Trophy: Zeus /Napoleon/ Prometheus]

[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★★]

"... Clam?"

Three Star Trophy instantly appeared in the void.

The trophy represented by [Napoleon] is even the "Death Stars Trophy"!

Storm was momentarily stunned.

The three advanced Homies created by Charlotte Linlin...

They can even provide Big Trophy?

And they're all seven-star Big Trophy!?

Hiss...

Claywork: Falling Clay!

Storm traversed space directly and arrived beside the two—three unconscious high-level Homies. Three Clay Arm grew out and grabbed the three Homies respectively.

Zeus's touch... soft and fluffy, like Nami (crossed out) -- like a fluffy marshmallow.

Prometheus... warm and cozy, and judging from its appearance alone, it looks like a thin-skinned water bag filled with hot water.

Napoleon... is really dead.

Charlotte Linlin's [Soul-Soul Fruit] ability mechanics are truly baffling.

'Once the original Devil Fruit User loses her independent consciousness, shouldn't her creations also become ineffective?'

What's going on with these two Homies?

Charlotte Linlin is already unconscious, yet they can still move around freely.

'It's almost like two completely independent, special life forms...'

Storm glanced at the two high-class Homies beside him; the dead Napoleon was naturally not within his scope of attention.

Another thing came to his mind.

In the future, according to the normal timeline, Charlotte Linlin is defeated by Law and Kid in the Wano Country War...

Although Storm still can't understand how Charlotte Linlin lost to Law and Kid.

But a defeat is a defeat.

But after Charlotte Linlin's failure.

The "Zeus" she created did not disappear; instead, it completely transformed into Nami's shape.

Storm thought about it carefully for a while longer.

Even setting aside the example of "Zeus".

The previous Devil Fruit User of the Soul-Soul Fruit Mother Carmel.

This seemingly kind, but actually beastly, nun also had a "Homies"—

Pandora.

It's worth mentioning.

Pandora's abilities and appearance are, if not exactly the same, almost identical to Charlotte Linlin's Prometheus.

"I don't understand..."

But if Charlotte Linlin is killed and the Soul-Soul Fruit is "reborn," its ability mechanism should become clear, right?

Storm shook his head and used the [Door-Door Fruit] to create a separate alternate dimension, temporarily imprisoning the three Homies inside.

There are no jailers in the "Void Great Prison".

The life forms of Zeus and Prometheus were too unique.

Storm doesn't intend to imprison them with Charlotte Linlin for the time being.

What's the difference between this and handing a pistol to a prisoner?

Storm considered Charlotte Linlin's previous act of plundering the countless souls of the Homies of Whole Cake Island, and used it to improve his own operations.

He reasonably suspected that "Zeus" and "Prometheus," these "advanced Homies," might be "advanced restorative medicines" for Charlotte Linlin.

Then they definitely shouldn't be locked up together!

After dealing with Zeus and the others, Storm used the [Claywork: Falling Clay] to return to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Yi Xiao glanced at Storm with a complicated expression.

No.

Two Pirate Emperor are fighting you alone.

Two against one.

The opponent suffered a defeat and fled...

What level of monster is this?

White Dragon.

When will you become the Pirate King?

After a moment of silence, Yi Xiao pointed his Supreme Grade Sword [Black Road Fire Wire] at Wheat Island below.

"That... Charlotte Family's greatest masterpiece, what are you going to do with it?"

With the changing seasons and fluctuating temperatures, I've caught another cold...

Everyone must take good care of their health and avoid catching a cold.

First update.

Also, before 12 o'clock.
