Not an Admiral, Not a Fleet Admiral, but the Commander-in-Chief of the Whole Cake Island Grand Army!

"Vongola Storm!"

A figure rapidly descended from the clouds, and Kizaru landed steadily beside the unconscious Zephyr, who was coughing up blood.

He checked Zephyr's condition while glaring angrily at Storm.

"You went way too far!"

Zephyr's health is not good.

This is common knowledge among almost all high-ranking naval officers.

Kizaru knew this too.

However, he never expected that Zephyr would suddenly fall ill during today's battle.

If Zephyr really does die from an illness caused by what happened today...

Kizaru had no idea how he was going to face Storm next.

I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush.

Storm also appeared beside Zephyr in a flash, calmly looking at Kizaru.

"Now, get out of my way!"

Are you a doctor? Can you make a proper diagnosis?

Kizaru's expression froze for a moment, and he silently withdrew his hand.

After a brief examination, he had determined that Professor Zephyr's vomiting of blood and unconsciousness were not due to severe impact injuries; at least, there were no "hard injuries" in his body such as "fractured bones."

This means that Zephyr's vomiting of blood and unconsciousness were purely due to a relapse of an old injury.

This is a problem that even Kizaru can't solve.

But Storm might not be so.

After all, Kizaru had just witnessed Storm helping Zephyr "regenerate his severed limbs".

Nami, Ain, and Binz also hurriedly flew down from the sky.

But Storm didn't have the energy to pay attention to these people for the time being. He extended his right hand to Zephyr and silently released the power of the [Restoration Fruit], attempting to help Zephyr recover through the power of this top-tier medical Devil Fruit.

The [Restoration Fruit] ability helps objects restore their original state.

Thanks to Storm's abilities, the minor injuries Zephyr sustained in the recent battle were immediately and completely healed, but he was still very weak.

'It seems the [Restoration Fruit] can't heal this kind of hidden injury... or maybe it's because I haven't developed it enough...'

Storm's greatest hope for the [Restoration Fruit Devil Fruit was that it could restore someone—to be precise, an old man—to his prime.

Aside from a few exceptional cases.

Those who are powerful in the ocean are almost always subject to the "curse of time," and their strength tends to diminish with age.

However, most powerful beings in the ocean have a terrifyingly long peak period. Even when they are in their sixties or seventies, they still look like they are in their prime, making it easy for people to overlook this "curse of time".

Perhaps the [Restoration Fruit] can help break free from this "curse of time".

We've gone off on a tangent...

Seeing that the [Restoration Fruit] was not having the desired healing effect, Storm had a change of heart and began to use the power of another Demon Ring.

[The Tanuki Ring]!

Suddenly, a bright green leaf appeared out of thin air in Storm's hand, and in an instant, the leaf transformed into a petite blonde girl.

Copycat Mansherry, Devil Fruit User the Paramecia Heal-Heal Fruit.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own area of expertise.

The [Restoration Fruit] is indeed a top-tier healing-type Devil Fruit, but its power focuses on "restoration".

However, the main ability of the [Heal-Heal Fruit] is to "heal living beings"!

"Mansherry."

Storm nodded to the clone of Princess Mansherry, whom he was meeting for the first time.

"Please help treat Professor Zephyr."

Normally, the clones created by the [Raccoon Dog Fruit] will obey the commands of the Devil Fruit User.

However, if the Devil Fruit User's commands differ too much from the clone's original personality...

For example, they created a Kizaru, but made him work obediently;

For example, they created a situation where someone could laugh, but they absolutely could not gamble;

These clones might instead choose to "rebel".

Fortunately, Mansherry herself has a gentle personality (Leo: Fake News).

Mansherry, the clone created by the [Raccoon Dog Fruit], is also an obedient Tontatta.

Under Storm's orders, the clone Mansherry unhesitatingly unleashed the power of the [Heal-Heal Fruit] to begin healing Zephyr.

Under the healing power of the [Heal-Heal Fruit], Zephyr's breathing quickly returned to normal, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"This is..."

As soon as Zephyr opened his eyes, he saw a large group of people surrounding him, as well as the blonde Tontatta girl being held in the palm of Storm's hand.

The clone, Mansherry, ignored Zephyr and turned to look at Storm. She gently lifted the hem of her princess dress, bowing to the creator as she greeted him, a sweet smile appearing on her small, delicate face.

"I have fulfilled my mission, Storm."

"Thank you so much."

Storm responded seriously.

The moment he finished speaking...

Thud--

After bowing, the clone, Mansherry, exploded into tiny specks of light, clearly indicating that her lifespan had reached its limit.

Even so, a thought involuntarily popped into Storm's mind.

[The Raccoon Dog Fruit] is really useful!

Nami, Ain, and Binz, being relatively inexperienced, failed to recognize the uniqueness and power of the clone, Mansherry.

However, Kizaru immediately recognized the formidable strength of this inexplicably appearing blonde Tontatta girl.

'That's really scary, Storm...'

Kizaru glanced at Storm, but didn't say anything more.

He simply crossed his arms, looking down at Zephyr was still lying on the ice field, not yet up, and said with a smile.

"Teacher Zephyr, even someone as skilled in hand-to-hand combat as you is no match for Storm ~"

The strange, unsettling aura emanating from Kizaru.

Even Nami, Ain, and Binz could feel it.

Zephyr immediately got up from the ice, but as he stood up, he clearly felt his body was filled with unprecedented vitality.

It was as if there had never been a fight, or that the illness had never occurred.

Instead, after taking a hot bath in the hot spring, having a big meal, and having a good night's sleep, I felt like I was back to peak condition.

It was precisely because of this overly healthy physical condition that Zephyr completely ignored the eccentric Borsalino.

After all, if he didn't use that sarcastic and sarcastic tone, would Kizaru still be Kizaru?

"Storm?"

Zephyr looked around and immediately identified the "suspect," saying with a sigh.

"You saved me again..."

In Zephyr's view, among the people present, the only one with the ability to heal him was Storm.

This boy, this marine, has grown into a truly outstanding and exceptional man!

"It's just emergency treatment."

Storm smiled and immediately offered his suggestion.

"Zephyr, why don't you come with me to Vegapunk's place for a comprehensive physical examination later?"

"Don't let Vegapunk's impressive scientific research skills fool you; his medical expertise is equally remarkable!"

"You really need to get treatment for this illness!"

Zephyr opened his mouth, about to refuse, but the reason remained the same—

He knows his own physical condition best.

But before Zephyr could finish speaking, Storm added another sentence.

"Professor Zephyr, you wouldn't want the New Marines to be established so soon, and for its creator and its Fleet Admiral to pass away unexpectedly, would you?"

This is also something that Storm is very worried about.

The New Marines's vast responsibilities cannot be separated from Zephyr.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

Zephyr is the New Marines's "pillar of strength"!

In Storm's plan.

After the establishment of the New Marines, Fleet Admiral naturally Zephyr the position of New Marines.

Below Zephyr are Aokiji and Issho, the two "new Admiral".

In that case...

The New Marines consists of one Fleet Admiral (Zephyr) and two Admiral (Aokiji and Fujitora).

The Old Marines consisted of one Fleet Admiral (Sengoku) and two Admiral (Akainu and Kizaru).

This is just enough to create a standoff.

As for Storm...

He once dreamed of becoming Admiral.

But can Pirate Emperor also serve as Admiral?

It doesn't seem quite right...

Then Storm will have no choice but to reluctantly assume the role of "Whole Cake Island Grand Army Commander"!

What is meant by "an army of Totto Land"?

Of course, it's the combined forces of the New Marines, the Dawn Pirates, the Storm Pirates, the Dark World King...

However, it seems now...

It seems there will be one more "Admiral" in the New Marines.

Kizaru.

However, this didn't have much of an impact.

Because in the Old Marines there was also a "Hero of the Marines" who was not Admiral but was more like Admiral — Garp.

The stalemate can probably be maintained for now... right?

After hearing Storm's words, "You didn't want to either..."

Zephyr swallowed back the words of refusal that were about to come out of his mouth.

As the initiator of the New Marines —or rather, the Marine Guerrilla Unit —how could Zephyr not want to see the New Marines grow bigger and stronger?

And.

The memory of coughing up blood and falling unconscious during the battle flashed through Zephyr's mind.

His health condition... seems to really be urgent.

Zephyr slowly nodded, intending to go see Vegapunk later.

Seeing this, Storm did not delay any longer. He raised his right hand, and a red thread flew out from his wrist, transforming into an enormous crimson dragon in the sky.

The Red Dragon Emperor makes his appearance!

The Red Dragon Emperor released a ribbon of orange-yellow Flame Cloud that directly wrapped around a fragment of ice on the sea below.

Storm and his group, including the warship that Zephyr and the other naval personnel had previously traveled on, were all on this ice field.

The Red Dragon Emperor exerted his power suddenly, and the Flame Cloud ribbons directly pulled up the small ice field, dragging it into the sky.

Storm skillfully summoned two "tools" --

A clone - a smile.

Copycat Rhein.

With the combined effects of the [D Denk-Denk Fruit] and the [Float-Float Fruit], the weight of the ice field was greatly reduced.

The Red Dragon Emperor dragged this small patch of ice, flying at breakneck speed towards Whole Cake Island.

Kizaru looked at the Red Giant Dragon ahead and couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"That's really scary~"

Although, it's still very late...

But there's one more chapter to come.

Around midnight?
