The Gorosei's Gifts!

What World Government?

Storm listened to Violet's report, he felt that this word could easily be replaced with something else—

Gorosei!

The Gorosei presented Storm with several more "gifts"!

So here's the question.

What exactly are these "brilliant" individuals up to?

Storm held the Den Den Mushi, completely baffled.

According to Violet...

The World Government has just dispatched a special ship to Dressrosa and had a high-ranking CP0 agent deliver five Devil Fruit directly to the King Riku.

The CP0 senior agent stated that these five Devil Fruits were a "gift" personally presented by the Gorosei to the Shichibukai White Dragon, and that the King Riku family must personally hand over these five Devil Fruits to White Dragon.

After handing over the five Devil Fruits, the CP0 senior agent turned and left without hesitation, boarding the World Government's private ship and departing Dressrosa.

Finally, Violet added a few more words.

"Lord White Dragon, I've used the [Glint-Glint Fruit] ability to observe them, and all five Devil Fruits are fine. It's just that I can't yet discern the abilities of these Devil Fruits."

"Furthermore, after leaving Dressrosa, the senior CP0 agent did not sail towards the nearby Navy G5 Branch base, but instead took another World Government- exclusive route to the Red Line Continent."

After saying these words, Violet fell silent.

Storm fell into a long period of thought.

He knew Violet's abilities and understood that what she said was true.

[Paramecia - Glint-Glint Fruit], this is a Devil Fruit of quite good quality.

It has both capability and numerical value.

The ability is "mind reading".

The value is --

The [Glint-Glint Fruit] grants the user an ability similar to "clairvoyance," allowing them to send their gaze in all directions within a radius of 4,000 kilometers.

Yes, 4000 kilometers, that's the exact figure.

Therefore, the authenticity of Violet's information can be guaranteed.

However, Storm still couldn't understand the World Government's —or more accurately, the Gorosei' —actions at all.

The Gorosei, under the guise of a "transaction," tricked Storm into going to Ruschired Island and then carried out a targeted Buster Call on him.

Although the Buster Call did not cause any physical harm to Storm, it still left a very deep shadow on his mind (probably).

This is also why Storm intends to retaliate against the World Government!

He had already decided that after the Totto Land Expedition ended, he would temporarily shift his focus from the "Pirate Emperor" to the "World Government".

But the Gorosei's move...

This certainly caught Storm somewhat off guard.

The Buster Call was carried out, the Admiral lost, and now they're sending us Devil Fruit...

They have absolutely no shame!

Storm could roughly understand why the Gorosei gave the five Devil Fruits to Dressrosa.

Dressrosa is currently the only World Government Member States on the high seas to fly the Storm Pirates' flag.

The Gorosei handed over the five Devil Fruits, instead of the treasure chest, to Dressrosa, entrusting the King Riku to pass them on to Storm, while simultaneously withdrawing their personnel without hesitation.

This undoubtedly illustrates one point --

The Gorosei are demonstrating their "dealing intent" to Storm!

They only provide Devil Fruit, no more personnel, and hold the trade in the Member Nations, letting intermediaries handle the entire transaction process...

The Gorosei didn't even offer their terms of the deal.

It seems the Gorosei simply wanted to give Storm Devil Fruit.

Is this... even possible?

"I see."

Storm stopped thinking and gave the order to Violet on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"I will set off for Dressrosa as soon as possible."

After saying this, Storm hung up the Den Den Mushi.

What exactly are the Gorosei up to...?

Storm really wanted to see it.

He just upgraded his [Physique] to the Nine-Star of perfection.

Based on past combat experience...

Among the powerful beings in the ocean, the difference in strength between them is one star level. A higher-star being can easily defeat a lower-star being in a crushing battle.

Although Storm's [Haki] has not yet fully reached Nine-Star.

However, with his Nine-Star Physique and Nine-Star Conqueror's Haki, he can already be considered a Nine-Star powerhouse!

This means that, in the present day, Storm can deal overwhelming damage to an Eight-Star ocean powerhouse!

How did Big Mom "instantly defeat" Queen the Plague?

How did Beasts Kaido "instantly kill" the Straw Hat Kid (excluding Nika Oogami)?

How did Shanks "instantly defeat" Kid...?

How could Storm now "instantly kill" this group of Eight-Star Pirate Emperor!

A nine-star powerhouse—truly terrifying.

Anyway, Storm had planned to go to Punk Hazard after the Totto Land Island campaign ended to free Dr. Vegapunk (crossed out) from the World's Number One World Government's oppression.

It's simply adding one more stop, "Dressrosa," to his route.

It was something I did on the way.

"Your Majesty the White Dragon Emperor!"

A fawning smile spread across Morgans's bird-like face, and his address to Storm became remarkably smooth.

"Are you going to attack the World Government now?"

Morgans, who was closest, dared not eavesdrop on the Den Den Mushi conversation between Storm and Violet —although he did hear quite a bit.

But Morgans could offer was Storm's last sentence—

Head to Dressrosa as soon as possible!

It is known that the White Dragon Emperor has just defeated the alliance of two Pirate Emperors.

Dressrosa is known to be one of the Member Nations under the World Government.

Having just defeated the Pirate Emperor, they've already turned their attention to the Member Nations and the World Government...

"Hahaha!"

The Big News Bird, always eager to stir up trouble, let out a burst of extremely excited laughter.

"Truly worthy of being called the White Dragon Emperor!"

Is the White Dragon Emperor launching an attack on the World Government?

This is clearly World Economic Journal News!

Big news!

Big news!

"..."

Storm glanced indifferently at the Big News Bird.

Although this veteran's stance is wavering, he still has a keen eye for detail.

Storm didn't want to discuss the issue of "fighting the World Government" with Morgans.

This old bird's previous fickle behavior had already caused Storm to lose his basic trust in him.

"This news..."

Storm picked up the press release in his hand, the one titled "The Coronation of the White Dragon Emperor."

"Well written."

Storm was fairly satisfied with the title "White Dragon Emperor".

It's at least more satisfying than obtaining the "Red Dragon Emperor" in such a muddled way before.

Only.

' The Red Dragon Emperor and the White Dragon Emperor... I inexplicably have a feeling that I'm about to become a celestial dragon...'

Storm handed the press release to Morgans and said calmly.

"Moving the headquarters of the World Economic News Paper to Whole Cake Island, no problem, right? Big News Bird!"

Relocate/Move headquarters?

Morgans snapped out of his euphoria at discovering the "big news" and looked at the White Dragon Emperor in shock.

Journalists also pursue freedom!

Morgans wanted to say that.

But the image of the recently deceased Shipping King Umit flashed through the mind of the Big News Bird.

"Yes, Lord White Dragon."

Morgans, like a defeated rooster, responded dejectedly.

What else could he do?

Someone caught me red-handed.

The White Dragon Emperor was only sparing his life because he was clever enough.

Relocate the headquarters... then let's relocate the headquarters!

Hanging out with pirates is certainly more "free" than hanging out with the World Government.

Morgans left, clutching the press release.

After the Big News Bird left.

Only Storm, along with Ichiro, Tesoro, and Stussy, remained at this location.

Weevil is a fool; we can ignore him for now.

Cracker and Smoothie were both prisoners of war, so they couldn't really be considered "human."

Storm waved his hand, and the two Sweet Commander were immediately sent to the Void Great Prison for imprisonment.

Both of them are decent in strength, but their Devil Fruit are only average.

Storm had no intention of "murdering for treasure".

Let's just keep them as timed generators for [Diamond Trophy].

Using the [Clay Ring] and the [Soul-Soul Ring], Storm created the Dawn Pirates of ten.

However, he could have created even more "Clay Soul Homies" with his [Clay Ring] and [Soul-Soul Ring]!

Not to mention.

Storm currently has Devil Fruit reserve in the double digits.

If he has enough [Demon Ring], Storm can continue to create even more "Clay Soul Homies"!

One person forming an army is not an unattainable dream.

Storm looked up at the three people in front of him who were smiling.

"Big Mom is dead, the Sweet Four Generals been wiped out, and the rest of the Charlotte Family members should be dealt with as they see fit. The matter of killing is left to Mr. Yixiao."

Yi Xiao felt that Storm's words sounded a little strange.

But he still accepted the "job".

The Chivalrous heart holds no prejudice against pirates.

Not all pirates are despicable.

Even within the BIG MOM Pirates, there are quite a few "innocent people".

To give a simple example.

There are still several children under ten years old in the Charlotte Family!

Are all these little guys damned pirates too?

After a moment's consideration, Storm released Charlotte Brulee, whom he had just captured, from the Void Great Prison. Then, he used the power of the Door-Door Fruit to forcibly open a special Space Door that connected to the mirror space of Charlotte Brûlée.

As the Space Door opened, the Charlotte Family members who had been placed inside the mirror space were released one by one.

He smiled silently as he "watched" the scene unfold before him.

He had suspected there was something wrong with White Dragon's Devil Fruit before.

Now it seems that this problem is not so minor...

What exactly is White Dragon's Devil Fruit ability?

Where did this spatial ability come from?

And then there's the Red Dragon Emperor...

That's strange.

Just as Yixiao frowned and pondered this question...

Storm selected Charlotte Oven and Charlotte Dafoe, the two "brothers," from among the Charlotte Family's offspring and imprisoned them in the Void Great Prison.

In Storm's eyes, any adult member of the Charlotte Family who is a pirate with a bounty is practically sentenced to death.

He can treat Charlotte Katakuri differently.

But not all Charlottes are "Katakuri".

'We'll consider Katakuri after we get Old Berlusconi back...'

Storm finally looked at Tesoro and Stussy.

"The cleanup of the Whole Cake Island crisis is now in your hands."

First update.

Nine o'clock...

It's too late.

There will be more tonight.
