Who wants to be king and still be an emperor!?

"A war with the Whitebeard Pirates!?"

As soon as Storm finished speaking, it wasn't Robin and his group who reacted first, but Sea Knight Jinbe who was following behind.

"How come I've never heard of this before!"

Because Whitebeard once designated Fish-Man Island as his territory, protecting Fish-Man Island in the name of the Pirate Emperor.

Therefore, Jinbe has great respect for Whitebeard.

If it weren't for the fact that Jinbe is the Captain of the Sun Pirates...

He might choose to join the Whitebeard Pirates!

Even so.

Jinbe occasionally takes action against enemies who harbor ill will towards the Whitebeard Pirates.

Just like the five-day, five-night battle between Jinbe and Ace in the normal timeline.

The reason was that Ace was trying to assassinate Whitebeard at the time—although he never succeeded.

Regardless.

Jinbe's affection for the Whitebeard Pirates and his reverence for Whitebeard far surpassed that for the White Dragon Emperor and his Storm Pirates.

At this moment, Sea Knight suddenly heard that the White Dragon Emperor was about to start a war with the Whitebeard Pirates.

He didn't make a move, only because of the White Dragon Emperor's previous good attitude towards Fish-Man Island!

"A strange question."

Storm frowned slightly and turned to look at Jinbe behind him.

"Sea Knight Jinbe, you are neither my subordinate nor a resident of Totto Land, so I have no obligation to tell you about my plans."

Jinbe was taken aback, feeling that there was absolutely nothing wrong with what the White Dragon Emperor had said.

But he still couldn't accept the fact that the White Dragon White Dragon Emperor was about to attack the Whitebeard Pirates!

Even when facing the Pirate Emperor, the same Pirate Emperor who had easily defeated him once before, Jinbe still insisted on adopting the starting stance of Fish-Man Karate.

"This old man—"

"Shut up, you fathead fish!"

Storm lost interest in listening to Sea Knight Jinbe. He rolled his eyes and instantly unleashed his [Conqueror's Haki].

At such close range, Jinbe had no chance to dodge and was directly struck by the black and red arc of electricity that symbolized [Conqueror's Haki]. He immediately lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

Shirahoshi had witnessed Jinbe defeat before.

So she wasn't too surprised this time, but she was a little troubled by the relationship between Lord White Dragon Emperor and Jinbe.

Shark Star was quite startled.

He was very grateful to Sea Knight Jinbe, for acting as his and his sister's "bodyguard" and accompanying them on their trip to Totto Land.

In this mermaid prince's view, Sea Knight Jinbe, as one of the Shichibukai the Sea, even if he's not as strong as the Pirate Emperor, should at least be able to hold his own against him, right?

Could he even send the Pirate Emperor flying with a single punch?

Isn't it rumored in the Grand Line that the Shichibukai are on par with the Pirate Emperor?

Shark Star never expected this.

Sea Knight Jinbe whom he considered his guarantee of safety, couldn't even withstand a single move against the White Dragon Emperor?

It's just like Hody Jones, who was slapped to pieces by the White Dragon Emperor's subordinates before!

Is the power gap between the Pirate Emperor and the Shichibukai really this large?

Robin, Law, and Bepo were also somewhat surprised.

"That's Sea Knight Jinbe, one of the Shichibukai of the Sea..."

Robin spoke in a low voice, glanced at Storm, and suddenly paused.

"But if it's the Captain, it doesn't seem like something to be surprised about."

Even Pirate Emperor like Big Mom and Beasts Kaido were defeated by their Captain.

Is it really that surprising that the Captain defeated a Shichibukai?

Although it was an instant kill...

Storm put away the [Diamond Trophy] that Jinbe Sea Knight Jinbe, represented, and then looked at Shark Star.

"Shark Star, please give this Sea Knight a good 'persuasion' later."

"Storm said calmly."

Some things, you can do once or twice, but not a third time.

"Even the Pirate Emperor's goodwill has its limits."

Upon hearing this, Shark Star immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

He never "misunderstood" the White Dragon Emperor.

The ceaseless flow of blood in Fish-Man District serves as a constant reminder to this mermaid prince what it truly means to be Pirate Emperor!

"I will keep Jinbe in check."

Shark Star said it almost as if he were swearing.

"In the name of the prince of the Ryugu Kingdom."

Although Storm had serious doubts about whether the prince of the Ryugu Kingdom could control the Captain of the Sun Pirates.

But if Sea Knight Jinbe, that blue-skinned fathead fish, dares to provoke him again, this Fish-Man should prepare to go to the Void Great Prison Down to keep the Doflamingo company!

"Your Majesty the White Dragon Emperor"

Shirahoshi also spoke earnestly from the side.

"I will also try to persuade Jinbe."

"Um."

Storm nodded slightly, then skipped over Sea Knight Jinbe's question and continued the previous topic.

"What are your thoughts on that question, Robin?"

Law spoke first, "Captain, why are we suddenly going to war with the Whitebeard Pirates?"

As the chief steward of Totto Land.

Luo knew many inside stories.

For example, he knew that the "Azure Dragon" currently entrenched in Wano Country was actually just a "Clay Doll" created by the Captain using his abilities.

What Luo was worried about was--

The Storm Pirates haven't even finished clearing out and absorbing the power of the Beasts Pirates yet.

Why are they suddenly going to Whitebeard Pirates?

However, on the other hand...

If Storm defeats the Whitebeard Pirates again...

So, what about the four original Pirate Emperor of the New World?

Big Mom, Beasts, Red-Haired, Whitebeard...

They all collapsed before the White Dragon Emperor.

The White Dragon Emperor (and the Red Dragon Emperor) will become the sole rulers of the New World!

"The reason is simple."

Storm relayed Blackbeard Teach's provocation.

"The Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates captured Crocodile and demanded that I send a warship to ransom him."

"I also intend to go with the flow and directly start a war with the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Should the Captain provide the warship?

Robin, Law, and Bepo all wore strange expressions.

As a member of the Storm Grand Fleet, who doesn't know that the so-called Storm Grand Fleet actually only consists of one ship?

And it's a submarine—

The Heart Pirates' Polar Tang!

Blackbeard Teach is really good at being sarcastic...

Luo sighed inwardly, then spoke directly.

"I want to join the war against the Whitebeard Pirates!"

The four Emperor Pirates of the New World.

The BIG MOM Pirates were almost entirely taken down by Storm, Issho, and the Gild Tesoro.

The Red-Haired Pirates were defeated by Storm and the New Marines working together.

The Beasts Pirates have not yet been defeated, but their Captain was captured single-handedly by Storm.

There are only four Emperor Pirates in the New World.

If we missed this battle with the Whitebeard Pirates...

Luo Du doubted that he would find no rivals in the New World!

At that moment, he suddenly felt a pang of sorrow for those two fools, Ace and Kid.

Those two fools left the Totto Land and went out to make their way in the world...

They don't even realize that the most competitive area for the pirate industry across the entire ocean is the New World!

Ace and Kid probably won't be able to keep up with this war against the Whitebeard Pirates!

Standing next to Law, Bepo raised his bear paw.

"I'll go with the Captain."

As soon as Bepo opened his mouth, a soft yet rapid series of words came from the side.

"So cute... it can talk... it's furry... what kind of animal is this? Is it a legendary rabbit?"

Bepo looked at the "little giant" with long, pink, wavy hair and said earnestly.

"I'm not a rabbit, I'm Polar Bear Mink Tribe."

So cute~

Starlight seemed to sparkle in Shirahoshi's eyes.

"Hello, my name is Shirahoshi."

"Captain, where did you kidnap this Giant Tribe child from?"

Robin looked at Storm with "curiosity".

"Didn't you say you were going to Fish-Man Island? Are you going to Elbaf on the way?"

Robin had always been thinking about Elbaf.

If Storm really goes to Elbaf this time without asking her to come along...

She will definitely not let this go easily!

Storm looked at Robin speechlessly, "How could Fish-Man Island and Elbaf be 'on the same road'?! Shirahoshi, this is Nico Robin, you can call her 'Devil Child'."

"Oh... Hello, Lord Devil Child."

Shirahoshi introduced himself with a serious and respectful expression.

"I am Shirahoshi, daughter of King Neptune of the Ryugu Kingdom."

"Don't call me 'Devil Child'..."

Robin rolled her eyes at Storm, then looked at Shirahoshi curiously.

"The daughter of the King of the Ryugu Kingdom... Are you the legendary Mermaid Princess?"

Robin once worked with Storm to translate the Ancient Poneglyph on Jaya Island.

Therefore, she was also very clear about what "Mermaid Princess" represented.

The legendary Ancient Weapon [Poseidon], powerful enough to destroy the world!

But the girl in front of me was clearly someone who didn't understand anything.

No, she's a "huge" girl!

"Yes."

Shirahoshi answered obediently.

"Robin."

"But what about the Merfolk..."

Luo chimed in from the side.

"Shouldn't mermaids have tails? Their upper body is human, and their lower body is fish."

Just like the Shark Star next to it.

"This unfamiliar adult..."

Shirahoshi stretched out her long, porcelain-like legs.

"My legs were given to me by the White Dragon Emperor."

Captain, you have this skill?!

Law and Robin looked at Storm together, their eyes filled with surprise.

"Devil Fruit ability."

Storm offered a simple explanation.

"If you feel that your body has any 'defects,' I can help 'modify' them."

"For example, giving Robin an extra pair of hands, or a hand segment?"

As far as Storm knows, there are four-legged races in the sea—they appeared in Big Mom's private collection. (Chapter 847 of the manga)

However, there is no race with four arms.

There are indeed "Longarm Tribe with three-section arms.

"My hands are more than enough, Captain!"

Robin gave a curt reply.

"Furthermore, I've chosen to return to the Totto Land World Economic Journal! I still need to handle the work there."

"Um."

Storm nodded and casually tossed out two pieces of Poneglyph, one red and one white.

"Then on your way back, please translate these two Poneglyph."

The fourth Road Poneglyph!

Robin glanced instinctively at the red stone.

The final piece of the puzzle for getting to Raftel has been found!

Luo stared in shock at the red stone before him.

He believed he had found the real reason why the Captain wanted to take action against the Whitebeard Pirates!

The Captain is about to become the Pirate King!

Who wants to play the "Emperor's Game" with Whitebeard anymore?

"But Captain, what's this 'white Poneglyph's all about?"

Robin pointed to the somewhat unusual white stone.

"I've never heard of Ancient Poneglyph in this color before."

"Of course you haven't heard of it."

Storm shook his head.

"Because I created this with my own abilities..."

Second update.

This should be considered the early morning...

Goodnight everyone.
