[Physique] Nine-Star Peak!

The moment the [Speed] attribute reaches Nine-Star.

Storm's three [Physique] attributes have all reached Nine-Star!

[Physique: ★★★★★★★★★] (Nine-Star)

[Physique], Nine-Star, Perfection!

"No prick, Nine-Star, not even a needle prick!"

Storm opened another Space Door.

This area connects to a pre-prepared "food storage room," filled with various delicacies prepared in advance on Gran Tesoro.

While enjoying his food to replenish his depleted energy, Storm wandered through the treasure room, browsing the many treasures that the BIG MOM Pirates had collected over the years.

The first thing that caught his eye was naturally the Red Poneglyph placed in the most conspicuous position!

"This was the 'treasure' that belonged to the Rocks Pirates back then, but it was forcibly taken away by Charlotte Linlin after the God Valley Incident..."

"The Road Poneglyph that record the locations of the road signs to the Laugh Tale, Raftel Tale..."

Storm stuffed a large piece of roasted meat into his mouth, his eyes flickering slightly.

"If I remember correctly, there is actually an Eternal Pose on the high seas that points to Raftel?"

Back when the Roger Pirates sailed to Raftel, the Laugh Tale, one of the crew members used a blank Log Pose to record the coordinates of the Laugh Tale.

This means that even without going through the Red Poneglyph, you can still directly reach the Laugh Tale Raftel, by following that Eternal Pose!

This can also be considered a form of "cheating".

If Storm remembers correctly, Roger discovered what that member of Roger Pirates did after recording the coordinates of Raftel.

What's interesting is...

Roger didn't destroy the Eternal Pose that pointed to Raftel directly; instead, he threw it into the sea.

And then...

Storm chewed on his cake, pondered for a long time, and then looked up with a slightly bewildered expression.

"It seems like the Eternal Pose of Raftel was eaten by a fish?"

About six years later—two years after the end of the Summit War.

The Straw Hat Pirates, sailing in the New World, encountered the "Pirate Expo" organized by Bullet, the Devil's Descendant.

The grand prize of that "Pirate Expo" was the Raftel Eternal Pose, created by the Roger Pirates!

But here's the problem.

Douglas Bullet is still imprisoned on Level 6 of Impel Down.

The person who truly discovered the Raftel Eternal Pose —the First Celebrator of the Ocean—seems not to have encountered this treasure yet.

This means that the Raftel Eternal Pose might still be inside some fish's belly!

What's more difficult on the high seas than finding a pirate?

Of course, it's about finding a fish in the ocean!

"If there's a chance later, have Tesoro contact that First Grand Ceremony Master of the Great Ocean and see if he actually has any Eternal Pose to Raftel. That Ceremony Master seems to have quite a deep connection with the Dark World..."

Storm considered it for a moment, made a mental note of it, and then looked up at the Road Poneglyph in front of him.

"As for the Road Poneglyph on the Whole Cake Island Land map... let me think about it some more."

The Road Poneglyph.

There's one here in the Whole Cake Island.

There is also one underground in Wano Country.

There is a piece on Zou, the Zunesha's back.

The last piece... on Fish-Man Island?

The only thing Storm couldn't be sure of was the location of the Road Poneglyph on Fish-Man Island.

When Roger Pirates sailed to Fish-Man Island.

The Road Poneglyph is still located in the Sea Forest of Fish-Man Island.

But decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

Storm wasn't sure if the Road Poneglyph still existed on Fish-Man Island.

He was certain that a few years later, the Road Poneglyph had indeed disappeared...

The news that will spread across the sea in the future is--

The last piece of the Road Poneglyph was in the hands of a certain "burned man".

Even Storm didn't know who the "burned man" was.

"This is giving me a bit of a headache... the burned man!"

Storm didn't have much information about the burned man; all he had were vague speculations.

"Let's find a chance to go to Fish-Man Island later! Let's see if that Road Poneglyph is actually in the Sea Forest."

"Furthermore, the 'Ancient Weapon' on Fish-Man Island, and that 'Sea Queen'... are also entities that cannot be ignored."

"As for the burned man, have Tesoro and the others send people to gather information... That's decided!"

Storm looked at the Road Poneglyph ahead, silently released [Claywork: Falling Clay], and went directly into the small room where the Poneglyph was stored, storing the Red Poneglyph into the unique "Treasure of the King".

Unless they are also powerful individuals who have mastered "space-type abilities" and whose Devil Fruit development surpasses even Storm's [Door-Door Fruit].

Otherwise.

The alternate dimension connected by the [Door-Door Ring] is the best and most hidden treasure room on the high seas!

Ripples spread out beneath Storm's feet, like waves crashing on the ground. The Clay Fruit eroded and assimilated the floor beneath him, causing him to plummet to the level below.

Directly below the room containing the Red Poneglyph, there is also an ordinary Poneglyph.

Six years after the events of the normal timeline, Big Mom possesses a total of three Poneglyph.

One red, two black.

However, the Road Poneglyph was "inherited" by Charlotte Linlin from the Rocks Pirates.

One of the black Poneglyph is a "gift" offered by Sea Knight Jinbe from Fish-Man Island, in order to seek the protection of the BIG MOM Pirates.

--This Poneglyph was unexpectedly discovered by the Sea Knight in an ancient ruin somewhere in the ocean during his travels.

The only thing that truly belongs to Charlotte Linlin is this piece of dark Poneglyph.

"Just ordinary Poneglyph, Ancient Script of unclear meaning... and no record of the whereabouts of any Ancient Weapon... but let's put it away anyway."

Storm didn't really understand Ancient Script, but he had an archaeologist working for him from Ohara.

Robin should like this "gift".

Storm continued to wander through the treasure room of the BIG MOM Pirates.

But the allure of the dazzling array of gold, silver, and exquisite antiques before him was not as strong as the meat of the sea beast in his hand.

"Is that all there is... money? Isn't there anything else of value? Hmm, I think I've found something else!"

Suddenly, Storm spotted a small treasure chest that looked extremely familiar.

The reason he thought this thing looked familiar was because the box looked perfect for storing Devil Fruit!

The clay tentacles shot out and grabbed the small treasure chest.

Storm opened it and found that it really did contain a Devil Fruit!

What a pleasant surprise!

Storm gazed at the Devil Fruit before him, recalling the information recorded in the <Devil Fruit Encyclopedia> in his mind, and quickly identified the name of this Devil Fruit.

"This is the [Paramecia -type Ran Ran Fruit], its ability is... Fusion."

Paramecia Devil Fruit of unknown origin.

Storm's initial excitement from the "treasure appraisal" quickly faded.

Actually, there is also a [Merge Fruit] on the sea, specializing in "fusion".

The owner of that Devil Fruit was none other than Douglas Bullet, the Devil's Descendant mentioned earlier!

However, Bullet's [Merge Fruit] focuses on "fusion" with inanimate matter.

If Bullet were to fully activate the [Merge Fruit], he could even "fuse" with an entire island simultaneously!

That sounds pretty impressive.

However, in Storm's view, Bullet's consumption of the Merge Fruit was a complete "waste" of the Devil Fruit.

When a top-tier powerhouse in the ocean encounters a top-tier Devil Fruit, it can easily create an even more powerful being.

Whitebeard, the Beasts, Big Mom... these are all examples.

However, some people encounter Devil Fruit and are hindered by Devil Fruit.

Just like Douglas Bullet.

If we only consider Physique, Storm believes that Bullet definitely deserves the title of "Pirate Emperor".

However, with the addition of the [Merge Fruit]... Bullet suddenly seems much weaker.

As for the [Chaos Fruit] in Storm's hand...

How would you rate it?

It's probably an upgraded version of the [Jacket Fruit].

What is the effect of the Jacket- Jacket Fruit?

Transform yourself into clothes, dress others up, and empower them with your own abilities...

A Devil Fruit of similarly unclear significance.

However, the [Random-Random Fruit] allows many people to combine at the same time, creating a colossal giant.

"It's pretty bad, but it's not entirely useless."

After a moment's thought, Storm found the most suitable candidate for the [Chaos Fruit].

Clone Soldier!

Just imagine it.

Ten Pacifista merged together to become one super Pacifista...

It seems... maybe it's pretty good?

It really is a useless fruit!

Storm's lips twitched.

"Let's put it away first!"

After Storm had completely filled his stomach, he also toured the treasure room of the BIG MOM Pirates.

Aside from the two Poneglyph and the [Random Fruit].

Storm found no other treasures of note.

Even the [Random-Random Fruit] was just a filler item...

"This money was used partly to build Cake Island and partly to 'support' Old Bei..."

Despite the mountain of treasure before him, Storm quickly found a "way to redeem" for it.

"The Totto Land Expedition is over; it's time to go and cause trouble for the World Government!"

Storm rested in the Cake Castle for most of the day.

The group of people who had gone out earlier escorted Charlotte Cracker and Charlotte Smoothie back to Cake Island.

With the defeat of these last two "Sweet Commander," the last vestiges of resistance in Whole Cake Island were violently extinguished.

The remaining task is to appease the public and restore normal order to Whole Cake Island.

As for the upcoming Tea Party...

Storm wasn't interested in getting involved, but Tesoro and Stussy were.

Morgans was equally excited.

But what excited this Big News Bird was not anything else, but the White Dragon's incredible battle record.

"Lord White Dragon!"

Upon returning to Cake Castle, Morgans immediately approached Storm with a news report he had personally written.

"This is the press release I wrote, please take a look!"

News?

Storm raised an eyebrow and looked at the manuscript in his hand.

The news headline has six large characters --

<The Coronation of the White Dragon Emperor!>

Storm glanced at the beautifully written press release.

Perhaps because of his previous mistake in choosing sides, Morgans praised Storm to the skies in this article, bestowing upon him all sorts of fancy titles such as "Lord of the Seas," "The World's Strongest," and "The Storm of the New Era."

However, Morgans did not overstate Storm's achievements.

Or rather...

He single-handedly defeated the alliance between Beasts Kaido and Big Mom, the Emperor.

This record is already incredible!

This is so exaggerated that it's completely unbelievable!

Morgans was also helpless.

How can a person be this strong?

Just as Storm was about to say something, his personal Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.

The eldest princess of Dressrosa suddenly sent a message.

"... How many gifts did the World Government prepare for me?"

The Paramecia Ran-Ran Fruit is the Devil Fruit power of the Charlotte Family's "Ten Brothers".

This Devil Fruit ability is really quite abstract...

In conclusion

Served at midnight!

Goodnight everyone!
