Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Chapter 13 Who told me I'm such a good person? Hehehe...

"hiss……"

Upon hearing this, Bucky couldn't help but gasp.

This guy has such a vicious idea.

He felt his future would be bleak if his identity as a former member of Roger's pirate crew were exposed.

The Navy will absolutely not stand idly by and do nothing about him, a former member of Roger's pirate crew.

He's not Shanks; he doesn't have the strength to fight the Navy.

If the navy targets me, I'm finished!

The thought of the consequences made Bucky tremble uncontrollably, his voice shaking: "M-Sir, what do you want me to do? I, Bucky the Clown, will do everything in my power to serve you!!"

Rocks swirled his wine glass and said calmly, "You'll see when the time comes. I hope you're sensible, or you know the consequences..."

"I...I understand!"

Bucky had no choice but to accept his fate.

We can't beat them in a fight.

There's also the fact that the other party has leverage over you.

He felt his life was over...

"So best."

Lockes nodded in satisfaction, then flicked his finger and released a fake bullet, breaking the ropes binding the other party.

As if he were the captain of the Buggy Pirates, Rocks ordered Buggy, "Wake up your men and have them cook. I'm a little hungry."

"Yes, my lord!"

Bucky responded with a long face.

Despite the pain in his chest and shoulders, he slapped his subordinates, who had been knocked unconscious by Conqueror's Haki, to wake them up.

Command them to take action.

Although the members of the Buggy Pirates were confused about the situation, they saw the damage on their own ship and Rocks sitting in the center with a boss-like demeanor.

They understood.

Clearly, their captain had been severely reprimanded and dared not disobey this man's orders...

What else can they do?

Even the captain surrendered, so they dared not resist.

They don't even know how they fainted...

Kuina approached Lox, frowned, and whispered, "You want to recruit them?"

"Of course not, but they still have some use."

Rocks waved his hand and said softly, "I don't want to deal with the Navy right now. I need a cover or a scapegoat, and the Buggy Pirates are perfect for that."

Recruiting the Buggy Pirates?

Of course, Rocks didn't have that idea.

However, the Buggy Pirates still have some use.

Rocks doesn't want to deal with the Navy right now.

Arlong Pirates are notorious in the East Blue and even have ties with the Marine branch.

Its destruction would certainly attract the attention of the navy.

So Rocks planned to use the Buggy Pirates as a cover and make them take the blame!

Kuina was puzzled: "Don't want to deal with the Navy? Why? We're not pirates..."

"Because of my name."

The mention of Rocks brings a sense of helplessness: "You may not have heard of the name Rocks, but it can be a source of fear and apprehension for some people."

"Especially the Navy and the World Government, if they hear this name, they will definitely investigate it thoroughly, which is a very troublesome matter."

Is there anything special about the name "Lox"?

Kuina was still puzzled.

She really didn't know anything special about the name Lox.

You should know Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, right?

Rocks cracked his knuckles as he said, “You can associate the name Rocks with Roger. The Navy and the World Government will investigate anything related to Roger thoroughly.”

"The name Rocks is the same; it just means trouble!"

The name "Lox" was a source of great frustration for Lox.

However, Rocks will not change his name.

The name was given to him by his adoptive father, Old Duke, and Rocks was very concerned about Old Duke's feelings.

It's impossible for Rocks to change his name after so many years just because of these things.

What's the point of changing it?

Was he scared?

Rocks was not afraid of bearing this name and had long been mentally prepared.

However, their strength is not yet sufficient, and they are not keen on dealing with the navy.

Rocks, the time traveler, was well aware of the Navy's true nature.

Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.

Moreover, Rocks' case wasn't a case of mistaken identity; his adoptive father, Old Duke, really was a former member of the Rocks Pirates, albeit just a floor cleaner...

Is the name "Lox" really that dangerous?

Hearing Lox's explanation, Kuina understood somewhat, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Then haven't I gotten on a sinking ship?"

Rocks nodded honestly: "That makes sense. Anyway, once the name Rocks is known throughout the seas again, the Navy and the World Government will definitely investigate."

"You've boarded my pirate ship, but you still have a chance to back out."

No matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, I will forge ahead!

Kuina tightened her grip on the Wado Ichimonji clasp at her waist, her tone calm yet resolute: "No matter who the enemy is, just cleave them in two with your sword!"

"Besides, didn't you say you would protect me?"

"You actually believe that I lied to Koushirou-sensei in order to kidnap you?"

Lox couldn't help but chuckle: "You haven't grown up yet, Kuina!"

Kuina: "..."

Can't this person say something nice?

I'm a year older than you!

"This shows that you're a year older than me for nothing. You don't even understand this kind of principle. You're still too naive. There's still a lot you need to learn."

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to practice my swordsmanship."

Kuina rolled her eyes at Lox.

Too lazy to waste words with him, I turned and left.

"Ah……"

Watching Kuina leave, Lox simply smiled.

Kuina, like Zoro, is a training fanatic. She trains whenever she has free time and is very hardworking and serious.

Only with this kind of perseverance and determination can she go further on the path of kendo!

"It's best not to make too much noise in the East China Sea, otherwise it might involve other people."

"The Navy's intelligence capabilities are not weak; making the Buggy Pirates take the blame is the best course of action..."

Rocks counted on his fingers, thinking about these things.

The navy's intelligence capabilities need no further explanation.

If even the slightest clue is left, the Navy might be able to follow the trail and find out Rocks' origins.

Although the possibility is actually not very high, it is still a potential risk.

Lox didn't want anyone else to be implicated because of him or his name.

Even if there's only a slight chance.

Therefore, it's best to keep a low profile and find someone to cover for you or take the blame.

The Buggy Pirates aren't exactly good people, so Rocks wouldn't feel any guilt about dragging them into the mess or causing them a lot of trouble.

Even more extreme statements.

They could reveal Bucky's hidden identity, drawing the Navy's attention to him and diverting their fire.

Consider it a way to make use of waste.

It can also contribute to the stability of the people from Donghai.

Rocks thought he was great.

Since they're somewhat useful, let's make good use of them. Killing them for the bounty isn't as worthwhile.

However, a mere ten million Berries is less than the gold and silver treasures looted from the Buggy Pirates...

"Okay, it's decided then."

Thinking about all this, Rocks' lips curled into a smile: "Let Bucky the Clown become famous ahead of time, but no need to thank me, what can I do, I'm a good guy, hehehe..."
