One Piece: Who made him the Pirate King!

"Whitebeard has breached Navy Headquarters!" 

"Whitebeard has stormed the Red Line!" 

"Whitebeard has destroyed the World Government!" 

Shrieks of terror and panic echoed across the Navy's training grounds, spreading rapidly to the outside world. 

Peacock, startled by both the sight of "Whitebeard" and the panicked cries of the onlookers, froze for a moment. 

However, once she took a closer look at this so-called "Whitebeard," she was left utterly speechless. 

His head was round, his belly was like a ball. 

The whole figure was pale white and comically disproportionate. 

Frankly speaking— 

He looked like a poorly made clay figurine from a shady workshop. 

Aside from the crescent-shaped white mustache— 

This "Whitebeard" lacked any of the imposing charisma or majesty of the world's strongest man. 

'This "Whitebeard" must be Storm messing around!' 

Peacock, who had inherited Vice Admiral Tsuru's sharp intellect, quickly pieced things together. 

'This must be the Clay Fruit power Admiral Kuzan mentioned before!' 

Storm ignored the reactions of the watching Navy personnel. 

All his attention was focused on controlling "Whitebeard." 

He'd already realized an issue while creating his previous "Clay White Dragon." 

The Devil Ring allowed him to use Devil Fruit abilities without expending energy. 

However, it didn't instantly boost his level of mastery over the Clay Fruit. 

A nine-star Devil Ring didn't equate to a nine-star level of Devil Fruit development! 

Storm's development of the Clay Fruit was already indicated by the Trophy System. 

[Devil Fruit: Clay Fruit – ☆] 

At the "☆" level of mastery, the result in battle was the current low-quality "Whitebeard." 

Even Storm had to admit that his "Whitebeard Clay Figurine" was embarrassingly crude. 

It was less "imitating Whitebeard" and more "failing to match Whitebeard Jr." 

However, in the heat of battle, there was no time for fine-tuning his "Whitebeard III." 

He had to act! 

Peacock's earlier whip strike hadn't caused any damage to "Whitebeard III." 

On the contrary, the whip had become embedded in "Whitebeard III's" left arm. 

Storm manipulated "Whitebeard III," grabbing the whip with its massive left hand and yanking it forcefully. 

Peacock immediately felt a powerful tug, nearly losing her grip on the whip. 

She gritted her teeth and deactivated her ability. 

The long, flexible whip retracted and transformed back into its original form. 

A gleaming sword now rested in Peacock's hand. 

Just as Storm had predicted, Peacock had joined the SWORD unit shortly after him and had eaten the Whip-Whip Fruit. 

However, due to her inexperience and lack of mastery over her abilities, she couldn't yet fully exploit the Whip-Whip Fruit's potential. 

By reverting her "whip" back into a "sword," Peacock managed to reclaim her weapon. 

Storm wasn't discouraged. 

He controlled "Whitebeard III," guiding the giant forward on its massive elephant-like legs, charging toward Peacock. 

Boom! Boom! Boom! 

Each step "Whitebeard III" took caused a thunderous sound and left deep footprints in the ground. 

The watching Navy "elites" erupted into another chorus of panicked cries. 

This time, Peacock remained calm, unaffected by the commotion around her. 

"Whitebeard III" raised its massive, millstone-sized hand and swung it toward Peacock, stirring up a gust of wind. 

Peacock didn't flinch. 

She stomped hard on the ground and used the resulting force to propel herself upward. 

Like a bird, she soared into the sky, evading "Whitebeard III's" strike. 

Six Powers: Moonwalk!

"You!" 

Peacock looked down at the white giant from her vantage point in the air. 

"Who are you supposed to be?!" 

"Whitebeard III!" 

Storm tilted his head upward and swung "Whitebeard III's" massive hand toward the airborne Peacock. 

"Edward Teach!" 

"Who even is that?!" 

Peacock let out a shout. 

She channeled all her strength into her legs, compressing them before releasing in a burst of power, delivering a supersonic kick. 

Tempest Kick: Soaring Crane!

Screech— 

A sharp, piercing sound reminiscent of a crane's cry echoed across the training grounds. 

Peacock's powerful kick sliced through the air, forming a razor-sharp wave of energy shaped like a white crane. 

The Tempest Kick: Soaring Crane moved at incredible speed. 

In the blink of an eye, it reached "Whitebeard III." 

Storm's "Whitebeard III," with its massive size, lacked the agility to evade. 

The wave struck directly, shredding the clay of its right arm below the elbow. 

The remaining force from the **Tempest Kick** carved a deep trench into the ground of the training field. 

Boom!

After a deafening explosion, the severed right arm of "Whitebeard III" fell to the ground, collapsing into a lump of white clay. 

"Huff… huff…" 

Exhausted from her full-powered attack, Peacock struggled to catch her breath. 

Unable to maintain her Moonwalk, she fell to the ground, keeping her eyes fixed on "Whitebeard III" to monitor its movements. 

Despite losing its right arm, Storm was unfazed. 

He hadn't felt any pain—after all, the damage was inflicted on "Whitebeard III," not himself. 

Taking advantage of Peacock's brief moment of exhaustion, Storm swung "Whitebeard III's" intact left arm in a spinning motion like a windmill. 

"Tyrant Dragon Takes Flight!"

With that cry, "Whitebeard III's" left arm detached and flew like a missile toward Peacock. 

The white "clay projectile" morphed mid-air, rapidly sprouting a head, wings, a tail, and four legs— 

It resembled a legendary four-legged dragon! 

The clay dragon hurtled toward the grounded Peacock. 

However, its attack was overly telegraphed, and Peacock easily dodged to the side, avoiding the strike. 

Bang!

The white clay dragon crashed into the ground, disintegrating into an unrecognizable mess of clay. 

Listening to the dragon's "death throes" behind her, Peacock smirked. 

But before she could relax, a sudden whooshing sound came from behind her. 

'That dragon just now… Could it have been a distraction from Storm—' 

Sensing imminent danger, Peacock turned, catching sight of an incoming fist. 

A human fist, rapidly closing in on her. 

Deliberate Punch! 

Somehow, Storm had appeared behind her without her noticing. 

He raised his massive, sandbag-like fist and slammed it into Peacock's abdomen without hesitation. 

In an instant, the once-proud Peacock doubled over like a shrimp. 

The force sent her flying backward— 

Directly into "Whitebeard III," whose body acted like a humanoid cage, trapping her within. 

Peacock tried to struggle, but the intense pain in her stomach rendered her motionless. 

To make matters worse— 

"Whitebeard III" pressed down on her from all sides, restricting her movements further. 

The more she struggled, the tighter the clay pressed against her. 

Finally, she had no choice but to concede. 

"You win!" 

As soon as Storm registered her surrender— 

A silver trophy icon appeared in his vision. 

[Silver Trophy: Peacock]

[Trophy Rating: ★★★] 

'A three-star silver trophy? Just for defeating her?' 

Suppressing the urge to check the details, Storm casually approached "Whitebeard III." 

With a single thought, ripples spread across the clay giant's surface. 

Moments later, "Whitebeard III" expelled Peacock from its body, leaving her collapsed on the ground. 

"Storm…" 

Peacock gasped, trying to speak as she lay there. 

But her words were cut short by a booming voice from the distance. 

"Whitebeard II!" 

In a flash, a burly figure appeared beside Storm and Peacock. 

The figure's mechanical right arm, equipped with a massive **shredder**, swung directly at "Whitebeard III." 

Boom! 

The blow obliterated "Whitebeard III's" head in a single strike, scattering the clay like fireworks. 

For a moment, Zephyr, the former admiral, froze. 

The man who prided himself on never killing pirates was caught off guard. 

*Wasn't this supposed to be Whitebeard II? Why was he so fragile?!* 

Storm, equally stunned, turned to see Zephyr standing nearby. 

And not far behind him— 

A lineup of Navy legends, including: 

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, 

Admiral Aokiji, 

Admiral Kizaru, 

Hero of the Navy Garp, 

And countless others like Gion and Vice Admiral Tsuru. 

Storm instinctively held his breath. 

*What kind of all-star Navy lineup is this

?!* 

Could even the Four Emperors withstand this lineup? 

"Storm! And Peacock!" 

Zephyr's voice was as dark as if it were coated in Armament Haki. 

"What in the world are you two doing?! 

"And why is everyone shouting that Whitebeard is here?" 

Before Storm could respond— 

Peacock, now standing and brushing herself off, grinned and clapped a hand on his shoulder. 

She "introduced" him with mock grandeur: 

"Behold, the world's strongest pirate!" 

"Zephyr-sensei, this is 'Whitebeard III'— 

"Edward Teach!"
