Above the Clouds, a Dragon Arrives at the Sky Island!
Banaro Island has ample food reserves.
After a hearty meal and some post-meal exercises, Storm fully adapted to the seven-star [Physique].
Next, he built a clay prison and imprisoned all the remaining pirates and passersby on the island inside.
Only three of King of Lizards Hanafuda's top lieutenants remained outside.
But Storm didn't let these three "little lizards" live for very long.
Experimental materials are ready;
[Demon Ring] is fully loaded;
The Devil Fruit Rebirth Experiment Begins!
The Devil Fruit possessed by the three high-ranking officers were all "reborn" by Storm.
[The Dull-tailed Poison Lizard Fruit].
[Komodo Dragon Fruit].
[Marine Iguana Fruit].
All three Devil Fruits are fairly standard Zoan -type Devil Fruit.
In terms of their effects, Storm wasn't particularly interested in any of the three "Lizard Fruit".
But the last [Marine Iguana Fruit] gave Storm a little inspiration.
"To be honest, this marine iguana... looks a bit like Godzilla."
Storm placed three "Lizard Fruit" into the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's body, and then began to mold a new pet.
In less than a moment.
A chubby little guy (crossed out) -- a Godzilla with a grayish-blue body and a back covered in barbs, makes a dazzling appearance.
Instead of creating a large one, Storm sculpted a tiny Godzilla, roughly knee-high.
"It has the form, but cannot emit atomic breath..."
Storm grabbed Little Godzilla and frantically rubbed it in his hands.
"Just like an ordinary marine iguana..."
Just as Storm was playing with his new pet...
Robin, who had just finished writing the list of supplies for the island, came over with a stack of papers.
As soon as she got closer, the first thing she saw was the fat dog in Storm's hand.
A strange feeling instantly struck Robin's heart.
"Kawaii..."
"Ha?"
Storm stopped kneading Godzilla, grabbed it—probably the back of its neck—and showed it to Robin.
What did you just say?
"Kawaii..."
Robin strode over, handed the documents to Storm, and then stretched out his hands.
"Boss, may I hold this little cutie?"
Little cutie?
Storm's expression twisted for a moment.
He glanced at the chubby little boy he had just sculpted.
A ferocious appearance, a menacing dorsal fin, and short, thick limbs...
Does this Godzilla meet the criteria for "cute"?
"Although human aesthetic preferences are free."
Storm handed the clay Godzilla to Robin, offering a heartfelt suggestion.
"But I still recommend that you see a doctor."
"This is Godzilla. It's not cute; it's a ferocious and invincible monster!"
Robin didn't care about any monsters; she simply reached out and caught the clay Godzilla, a maternal smile involuntarily spreading across her face.
"Kawaii..."
This woman... she's definitely broken.
Storm made this judgment.
He looked at the list of supplies in his hand for a while.
Perhaps it's because of the Beasts Pirates, or perhaps it's because of the pirates' habitual spending habits.
Hanafuda's personal wealth was not as great as one might imagine.
"Compared to Crocodile, this King of Lizards's money-making ability is practically zero..."
Storm muttered to himself.
Crocodile's earning power is definitely underestimated by many people.
Baroque Works isn't just comprised of Crocodile and other high-ranking executives.
In fact, aside from the leadership departments...
Baroque Works also has 200 "Billions" and 1,800 "millionaire elders".
The salaries of these more than two thousand people were all paid by Crocodile!
A naval recruit can earn two million Beli a year.
The annual salaries of "millionaire elders" and "Billions" will only be higher.
Roughly calculated, Crocodile has to pay out at least four billion Beli in "salary" every year.
This is just "salary"!
"No wonder Crocodile was able to lend Buggy money in the future so he could start a logistics company..."
Storm put away Hanafuda's inventory list.
This amount of money may not be much, but it's still money!
Even a mosquito's leg, however small, is still meat.
"Robin."
"Kawaii..."
"Robin?"
"Kawaii--Eh? Where's the little cutie?"
Snap!
Storm snapped his fingers, and the little Godzilla was instantly turned into a shapeless lump of clay.
"Robin!"
"Yes, boss."
Robin held up the miniature Godzilla that had returned to its original form, with white clay constantly oozing from between her fingers.
This scene is not very pleasant...
Storm's eye twitched slightly, and he made the lump of clay change shape again.
A lifelike Nine-Tails Fox then appeared in Robin's arms.
"It's a fox..."
Robin pursed her lips, her expression no longer showing the same fondness as before.
She genuinely felt that the new boss had terrible taste...
Dragons, foxes...
The marine iguana from before was cuter.
"I just spoke with the Gorosei on the phone. The World Government invited me to become Shichibukai, and I have accepted."
"Storm said calmly."
"This Banaro Island, which was originally the territory of the King of Lizards, is now my territory."
"You'll stay on this island for now, and then quickly create an island planning map. Is that alright?"
"Island planning? Boss, you mean you want to build this small island?"
Robin resumed her usual work demeanor.
"That will cost a very large sum of money; the money we just counted might not be enough."
"There's no need to make it too complicated."
Storm waved his hand; he didn't intend to expend too much energy on this Paradise island.
"Just treat this place as a temporary stop, and get things set up quickly."
After saying this, Storm manipulated the clay and created a clay hut nearby.
White, pure, beautiful, and strong.
It is large enough to accommodate several people.
"What a convenient ability..."
Robin looked at the clay hut and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement again.
The new boss has developed his [Clay Fruit] to an excessively high and comprehensive level...
In comparison.
Robin's [Flower-Flower Fruit] is still only at the stage of "flowering and then growing arms".
"You'll stay in this clay hut for now."
Storm looked at the little white house and gestured to Robin.
"Any other questions?"
Robin looked away and turned to Storm.
"Boss, are you leaving?"
"Right."
Storm pointed to the sky.
"I want to go to heaven."
"The sky?"
"Sky Island."
Robin also wants to go to Sky Island.
However, Storm had important business to attend to when he went to space and didn't want to take a burden with him.
He left Robin on Banaro Island and promised that once the matter was settled, he would take her with him to heaven.
Robin accepted Storm's orders, but she still made one request.
"Boss, can you give my little cutie back to me?"
"That's Godzilla, not a little cutie..."
"Storm said weakly."
"Fine, do you want the big one or the small one?"
Although there is no longer any threat on Banaro Island.
But it's better to be safe than sorry.
Leaving a clay creature near Robin can also protect her.
"The big one..."
Robin's eyes lit up slightly.
How big can it be?
Storm unleashed the power of the Clay- Clay Fruit, and soon another Godzilla appeared.
Its size rapidly expanded and increased.
From less than half a meter at first, it grew wildly to one meter, five meters, ten meters...
A few breaths passed in the blink of an eye.
A terrifying creature, over 100 meters tall and with a tail nearly 150 meters long, descended upon Banaro Island.
Robin looked up at the "Clay Legend Godzilla," a blush rising on her face.
"Kawaii..."
This woman... is beyond saving.
Storm casually sculpted a miniature Godzilla, the same size as Robin, next to her.
He then rode the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and soared into the sky.
Target--
Jaya Island!
The Blue-Eyes White Dragon left Banaro Island behind and flew towards Jaya Island, guided by the Eternal Pose that Storm had collected in advance.
If you want to reach the Sky Island, you can't just focus on flying in the sky.
Above Jaya Island lies the sacred site of the Sky Island —the ruins of Shandora, a golden city from hundreds of years ago.
But who knows what's in the sky above Banaro Island?
Jaya Island and Banaro Island are not far apart.
It didn't take Storm long to reach the vicinity of Jaya Island.
He had no intention of lingering on Jaya Island and immediately rode the Blue-Eyes White Dragon into the sky.
Target--
Sky Island!
The Blue-Eyes White Dragon obeyed the will of the Creator and strived to fly towards the highest heavens.
100 meters, 1000 meters...
Under Storm's control, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon broke through the seven thousand meters mark.
The Blue-Eyes White Dragon crashed through the thick clouds.
The first thing that caught Storm's eye was a vast, white "sea".
This is White Sea made up of endless white clouds.
"The White Sea is located seven thousand meters above the ground."
Storm recalled the information about Sky Island that was in his mind.
"The real Sky Island is located in the higher White Sea, which is 3,000 meters above the White Sea and 10,000 meters above the sky."
"We still need to fly higher!"
Storm patted the Blue-Eyes White Dragon beneath him.
"Roar--"
The Blue-Eyes White Dragon let out a roar that pierced through the clouds and shattered rocks, then flapped its wings once more and flew towards an even higher point in the sky.
The three-kilometer distance was covered in just a few breaths.
The Blue-Eyes White Dragon crashed through another layer of clouds.
Above the cloud peaks, there was still an endless, boundless sea of clouds.
This is -- White Sea).
The White Sea is also the sea area where the vast majority of Sky Island are located.
Storm withdrew his gaze from the sky and looked around.
What surrounded him was not just any ordinary Island Cloud, but a genuine earthen island.
This is the ruins of Shandora, a golden city whose fame resounded throughout the entire sea hundreds of years ago!
Storm briefly surveyed the golden city of Shandora.
The gold found in this ancient site is particularly striking.
But Storm cares about more is...
It's not gold.
It is the god of the Sky Island!
Enel, the "God of Thunder," possesses the [Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit]!
