Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

the other side.

On a warship.

"Admiral Aokiji, a message has come from the G-9 branch base stationed on Asuka Island!"

"Because of the appearance of a demonic sword called the 'Seven Star Sword,' chaos ensued on Asuka Island, and many pirates landed there..."

A navy officer jogged up to a man lounging on a deckchair, his eyes still covered by an eye patch.

He reported very quickly: "The G-9 branch base has requested support from the branch bases on nearby islands."

"Since this is a message received by a radio Den Den Mushi from a specific frequency band, we need to consult with Admiral Aokiji for your decision!"

Navy Den Den Mushi have their own special frequency bands and channels, and warships are generally equipped with Den Den Mushi that can receive these frequency bands and channels.

This was set up so that warships patrolling the sea could receive "broadcasts" from specific sea areas.

In order to deal with emergencies such as distress messages and requests for assistance.

Just then, their warship received a "request for support" message from the G-9 branch base stationed on Aska Island.

In this situation, the decision needs to be made by the highest-ranking officer of the warship.

And Aokiji was the highest-ranking commander on this warship...

"Oh dear, a demon sword has been born? This seems to be a troublesome matter. As a general, I can't pretend I don't know..."

Admiral "Aokiji" Kuzan, who was lying on a deckchair, removed his blindfold.

He yawned lazily and said with a hint of helplessness, "This is so troublesome..."

Aokiji was on this warship because he received orders from Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

Search for the whereabouts of "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks and send him an invitation to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

According to a report from the Ztan Island naval branch base, "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks had just departed from Ztan Island a few days ago.

If "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks followed the timer, then his whereabouts would be traceable.

There is a certain possibility of finding the whereabouts of the "Black-Haired Swordsman".

So, under Sengoku's orders, the great general Aokiji set off...

There are reasons why a general was chosen to take action.

The first point illustrates the importance that the World Government and Navy attach to Rocks, the "Black-Haired Swordsman," joining the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Secondly, if "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks refuses to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, then only an Admiral would have the power to capture him directly.

So Aokiji took action...

……

More than an hour later.

The Black Demon successfully arrived at the waters near Asca Island.

"Heh heh, looks like quite a few people have their eyes on that demonic sword..."

As he drew closer, Rocks saw that many pirate ships were heading in the same direction.

Their goals were clearly aligned... for the Seven Star Demon Sword.

Come to think of it, famous swords are quite valuable on the high seas, and some demon swords can even fetch high prices at auction.

Aside from a few pirates, the vast majority of pirates are poor.

With such a lively atmosphere, it naturally attracts a lot of attention.

It's normal for there to be a lot of people.

"It seems that successfully seizing that Seven Star Sword will not be easy."

Kuina is also interested in the demon sword.

It wasn't that she wanted to use a demon sword; she had Wado Ichimonji, which was enough for her.

As a swordswoman, she was quite interested in famous swords, but she had never seen what a demon sword was.

I'm curious about how the Demon Blade differs from ordinary swords.

Rocks unleashed his Observation Haki, sensing the presence on the pirate ship, but found no particularly strong individuals: "I haven't sensed anyone of interest yet. Let's wait until we get to the island and take a look."

Even he was drawn here, and it's likely that some powerful swordsmen who received the news will also come to take a look.

Devil Fruits, famous swords, treasures, and other valuable items are attractive enough to many people.

This ocean is so vast, no one knows how many powerful beings it harbors.

Take the original work as an example.

Two years ago, there wasn't a single piece of information about the two powerful figures, "Fujitora" Issho and "Green Bull" Aramaki.

It's also possible that some powerful figures who didn't appear in the original work will emerge.

With a slight smile, he said, "If you need any help, I wouldn't mind doing my bit."

"Since it's a contest for the demon sword, then I naturally have to take action myself."

Lockes counted on his fingers and chuckled, "However, if any troublesome people set their sights on me, I'll need your help, Yixiao."

The matter of the Seven Star Sword has been brewing for two days, attracting a lot of attention.

The navy may well be aware of this, and might even take some action.

Under the general's command, Rocks didn't care.

However, even with a general-level combatant, Rocks still needs to be careful.

He smiled and said, "Haha, of course, I am also a member of the Blackwing Demon Adventurer's Guild..."

……

soon.

The Black Demon approached the shore.

We found a relatively secluded spot to park.

"I'll stay here and watch the boat. You all be careful."

Robin didn't want to be in the public eye.

The Black Demon also needed someone to look after it, so we decided to stay on board.

Rocks nodded to Robin: "If anything happens, tell me immediately, and I'll come back..."

The area is now a mixed bag, so someone definitely needs to watch over the boats.

The Black Demon Ship, made from the precious tree Adam, is worth hundreds of millions, so it's inevitable that it will attract attention; this is unavoidable.

Robin smiled and nodded: "Okay."

"Before we leave, let's give others a warning..."

Lockes looked towards the sea.

A pirate ship was charging straight towards them. A sweep of their Observation Haki revealed a strong sense of malice...

They've clearly got their eyes on them... or rather, the Black Demon.

They chose a relatively remote location to dock, but there were many ships arriving at Asca Island, and many people were also heading in this direction.

Some were just looking for a place to dock, while others had their eyes on the Black Demon.

Let's establish our authority first!

With a 'whoosh', the sword at his waist was drawn, and as he gripped it, a surge of sword energy emanated from Rocks.

It's not about sharpness and killing, but about being domineering and powerful!

"Elbaf Spear - Mighty Kingdom!"

Rocks gripped his sword with both hands, his Armament Haki staining the blade black, and swung it heavily towards the pirate ship that sensed his intense malice...

'Om! '

The sword was trembling; if it weren't for the hardening effect of the domineering aura, it might have shattered instantly.

With a powerful swing of the leopard, a resounding hum echoed.

Immediately afterwards, a spiral shockwave with a diameter of more than ten meters surged forward.

The spiral shockwave pierced through everything in its path.

The sea surface seemed to have been cleaved open, carving out a trench that stretched from here into the distance...

Locus's Elbaf Spear - Mighty Kingdom can pierce through mountains and trigger volcanic eruptions.

Even the mountain couldn't withstand it; even if that pirate ship was made of steel, it would be blasted to pieces...

'Boom!!'

Amidst the explosions.

The pirate ship was pierced and torn apart from the middle by the swirling shockwave, leaving a large hole in the entire ship.

Wood chips flew everywhere, and the boat was in pieces.

Needless to say, those on the ship who faced the spiral shockwave were not even left with intact bodies; those who were affected were severely injured, coughing up blood, and falling into the sea...

Without even a scream, an entire pirate crew was wiped out!

'Boom boom boom...'

The spiral shockwave continued its momentum until it disappeared several hundred meters away.

But this scene caused many people around to widen their pupils and almost bulge their eyes out...

"What...what kind of attack was that?"

"Destroyed a ship with a single strike?"

"Who did this?!"

To destroy a fairly large ship with a single strike—what kind of power would that require?

And who wielded that sword?
