Storm wanted to "travel," but not set off immediately.
He planned to depart for the Grand Line after dealing with the matter in the South Blue.
At the very least, he had to take care of those warships first!

Vegapunk was the core condition of this "warship transaction"!
Of course,
Storm did not mean exchanging
