Pirate Emperor Moonlighting as an Admiral?

New World, G1 Branch.

An unremarkable-looking naval warship is slowly departing from the port of G1 Branch.

Two figures stood on the deck of a naval warship.

Headquarters Admiral Aokiji Kuzan of the Navy Headquarters.

Former Navy Headquarters Admiral, Black Arm Zephyr.

After exchanging a few words with Storm Aokiji, Aokiji handed the Den Den Den Mushi he was holding to Zephyr, who was standing next to him.

"Professor Zephyr, Storm has something he wants to say to you."

As Aokiji handed over the Den Den Mushi, he was also curiously observing Zephyr.

He came to the New World because his former "subordinate" became the Pirate Emperor.

Aokiji wanted to see if Storm had truly become a "real" pirate.

However, Zephyr also volunteered to come to the New World...

This was completely unexpected by Aokiji.

In particular, Zephyr's target is Whole Cake Island!

There are some untold secrets between Professor Zephyr and Storm!

When Aokiji learned of Zephyr's plan to go to the New World, he made this judgment.

As for why?

Aokiji knew this the moment he boarded the naval warship!

On this naval warship, apart from him and Zephyr, all the other naval crew members were absolute confidants cultivated by Zephyr over the years.

To give a somewhat inappropriate example.

Apart from Aokiji, the naval forces on this warship are entirely Zephyr's "private army"!

Master Zephyr, accompanied by his personal guards, arrives in the New World, heading towards Whole Cake Island...

Why?

Aokiji had no idea, nor did he ask. He simply listened quietly to the conversation between Zephyr and Storm.

"Storm."

Zephyr extended his right hand, and the "clay prosthetic" he had created using the [Clay Fruit] took Aokiji's Den Den Mushi.

"How majestic! The 'White Dragon Emperor'!"

"Professor Zephyr, please stop teasing me with that name."

Storm's cheerful voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

"But if I remember correctly, it shouldn't be the end of Rookie Training Camp yet, right?"

Storm had also been a member of a naval Rookie Training Camp, so he was very familiar with the training cycle of the naval Rookie Training Camp.

It's not the end of the year yet, so the Rookie Training Camp is naturally not over.

Based on Storm's previous experience, we can extrapolate...

This year's naval Rookie Training Camp should be on its way back to Marineford.

"I've temporarily handed over the duties of head instructor at the Rookie Training Camp to Shuzo."

Zephyr didn't hide anything and answered directly.

"As for me, I, along with Ain, Binz, and a few others, withdrew from this year's Rookie Training Camp early."

This year's Rookie Training Camp has reached the "return journey" stage, and the main training tasks have been completed.

Under normal circumstances, Zephyr would stay at his post and work on this year's Rookie Training Camp until the very last second.

But who told Zephyr to see the news report about Storm?

Defeat Big Mom, destroy the BIG MOM Pirates, occupy Whole Cake Island, become the Pirate Emperor, and ascend to the top of the New World!

That sounds very impressive.

But this doesn't fit Zephyr's plans at all!

Zephyr was still thinking about how to recruit Storm into the New Marines and make him Admiral "New Marines!

Who made him the Pirate Emperor!?

That being said...

Can Pirate Emperor also serve Admiral?

Zephyr felt a headache coming on whenever he thought about this problem.

And it was because of this that Storm became the Pirate Emperor.

Zephyr then put aside the final work of this year's naval Rookie Training Camp and rushed into the New World.

He figured that if he didn't act quickly...

The New Marines is about to "collapse halfway through its mission"!

This won't do!

"So that's how it is..."

Storm was very impressed with the "Shuzo" that Zephyr mentioned.

Shuzo, Commodore of the Marine Headquarters, is also Zephyr's beloved disciple.

In the Rookie Training Camp that Storm attended, Shuzo was the "second-in-command" of the camp, assisting Zephyr in handling a large amount of the camp's daily work.

Zephyr handed over the wrap-up work for this year's Elite Marine Recruit Training Camp to Shuzo without any problem.

"Storm."

Zephyr gripped the Den Den Mushi tightly and asked very seriously.

"Dr. Vegapunk, and that Borsalino guy... they should be alright, right?"

What Zephyr saw was not just the news newspaper about the "Coronation of the White Dragon Emperor".

He also saw the news reports published by the World Government regarding the "revocation of Vongola Storm's status Shichibukai" and "Vongola Storm's murder of Vegapunk."

Perhaps to save face for the World Government and the Marine Headquarters, the World Government did not include any mention of "White Dragon capturing Marine Headquarters Admiral Kizaru" in its news reports.

However, as a former Marine Headquarters Admiral, Zephyr was aware that Kizaru had "disappeared" after entering the New World.

What's more, he now has Aokiji by his side!

Aokiji was also aware of Kizaru's situation.

Aokiji even informed Zephyr about the Buster Call plan that the Marine Headquarters had recently carried out against Storm.

Regarding the "Storm attack on Punk Hazard Island"...

Zephyr doesn't have much to say.

After all, what's done is done.

Furthermore, the Navy's G5 Branch base in the New World has already received a large number of researchers and naval soldiers from Punk Hazard Island, which was "abandoned" by Storm.

After a thorough investigation, the Navy confirmed the attack, stating that the World Government only lost Dr. Vegapunk and Punk Hazard Island.

Of course, there's also supposedly a "Dr. Vegapunk bodyguard"...

All in all.

Judging from the situation of the researchers and naval soldiers, Storm acted with great restraint.

However, Zephyr was still very worried about Dr. Vegapunk and Borsalino.

Even though Zephyr didn't particularly like Borsalino, that guy who relied too much on Devil Fruit.

However, he knew that Borsalino had participated in the Buster Call against Storm!

If Storm gets angry and kills Borsalino...

Zephyr absolutely did not want to see that scene.

Fortunately, judging from Borsalino's Vivre Card left at Marine Headquarters, he seemed to have suffered some torture, but his vital signs were not significantly affected...

They are all fine.

"Storm replied."

"If Professor Zephyr doesn't mind, we can hold our next meeting on Punk Hazard Island."

We hosted Zephyr and Aokiji at Whole Cake Island...

Storm felt something was off.

As for Kizaru?

Kizaru is a prisoner!

"... This will work too."

Zephyr hesitated for a moment, but then agreed to Storm's suggestion.

He also felt that going to Whole Cake Island to meet a Pirate Emperor... sounded a bit strange.

"Well, there are a few other things, let's discuss them in detail when Professor Zephyr arrives!"

After exchanging a few words with Storm, Zephyr hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Zephyr is finally coming!

Storm was quite excited about this.

He had been looking forward to this for a long time!

Although Zephyr entered the New World a little earlier than expected.

But Storm didn't mind at all.

Besides, he had just recently occupied a new territory.

Zephyr's arrival was, in a sense, perfectly timed.

However, Aokiji and Zephyr ended up hanging out together...

This caught Storm somewhat off guard.

Aokiji is Zephyr's student.

However, the vast majority of mid- to high-ranking officers in the navy were students of Zephyr.

Strictly speaking...

Aokiji's teacher was not Zephyr, but Garp!

Aokiji is Garp's apprentice.

"That's strange, when did these two meet?"

Storm was a little confused, but also a little surprised.

He eagerly awaited Zephyr's arrival.

He had long coveted the Aokiji.

Now these two Admiral have clashed...

"This time, there's no escape! Admiral Aokiji of the New Marines!"

Storm made his decision.

As long as Zephyr and Aokiji come to Whole Cake Island together.

Even if it means breaking Aokiji's legs!

Storm insisted on keeping Aokiji in the New Marines.

Certainly.

If Aokiji were willing to "abandon the light and join the darkness," he could simply give up his Marine status and become a pirate.

Storm didn't mind at all.

Whether it's the Storm Pirates or the Dawn Pirates.

There's a place for Aokiji in Storm!

Thinking of this, Storm suddenly flicked his fingers, and a bright green leaf flew out from his fingertip.

At the moment of landing.

The leaf transformed into a tall, curly-haired man.

"Ah la la..."

[Raccoon Dog Fruit] Version - Aokiji Kuzan scratched his head and uttered his signature catchphrase.

"Storm, how did you conjure me up? This is so troublesome..."

The [Mythical Zoan Raccoon Dog Fruit] creates "individuals" that not only inherit the original owner's appearance and abilities, but also their personality.

In most cases, the "individuals" created by the [Raccoon Dog Fruit] will be loyal to the Devil Fruit User of the [Raccoon Dog Fruit].

However, if the orders given by the Devil Fruit User of the [Raccoon Dog Fruit] go against the individual's original personality and will, they might even rebel...

The "Aokiji that Storm created at this moment clearly inherited the original owner's " Lazy Justice," constantly talking about "trouble."

Storm looked at the fake Aokiji and asked curiously.

"Do you want to be a pirate or a marine?"

"I want to sleep... yawn~"

The fake Aokiji gave a big, convincing yawn.

Storm's eyes twitched slightly as he watched, then he waved his hand and dissipated the fake clone, leaving only a single emerald green leaf in its place.

He shouldn't have had any expectations of having the ability to create clones!

"Gecko Moria, Crocodile, Hawk Eyes Mihawk, Shanks... and Aokiji and Zephyr."

Storm picked up the emerald green leaf, pondering the message he had just received.

With so many powerful beings from the ocean pouring into the New World, New World's about to become quite "lively," isn't it?

After a moment's thought, Storm summoned the Gild Tesoro and the Pleasure District Queen.

"Tesoro, Stussy."

Storm nodded to his two deputies.

"I'm leaving Totto Land now to go to North Blue. It won't take too long."

"The next few days, I'll leave the Totto Land to you."

Regarding Storm's orders.

Tesoro and Stussy naturally wouldn't refuse.

Storm officially handed over the management of Totto Land to the Gild Tesoro and the Pleasure District Queen.

However, he secretly placed some troops on Punk Hazard Island.

Apart from the Red Dragon Emperor.

All members of the Dawn Pirates were placed on Punk Hazard Island Storm to protect Whole Cake Island.

The New World is full of storms and high waves.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

At last.

Storm also summoned Laugh, and put this "blind fat tiger" in charge of Whole Cake Island.

A smile.

Dawn Pirates.

The Gild Tesoro and the Pleasure District Queen.

With this level of combat capability, protecting Totto Land is absolutely foolproof.

After making all the necessary preparations, Storm boarded the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and flew directly out of Cake Island, heading towards the North Blue.

Big Mom's death...

The coronation of the White Dragon Emperor...

One powerful figure after another entered the New World...

The landscape of the New World is undergoing a dramatic transformation.

Faced with such changes, Storm can't rely solely on the Gild Tesoro and the Pleasure District Queen; he needs true "one of his own."

Storm Pirates, charge into the New World!

Good heavens, it's already so late today...

Feel sorry...

Double update today.
