Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

"Oh dear, I thought it was something serious!"

Nami blinked after hearing that.

She thought Robin had actually told Rocks, "The moonlight is beautiful."

Feeling a slight sense of relief, she smiled at Robin and said, "Robin, you're making a mountain out of a molehill. We're companions, how could we possibly abandon you?"

"We will not abandon any of our comrades."

Kuina uttered those words in a cool and aloof tone, but her mind was clearly occupied with something else entirely...

Hmm, it might be related to "the moonlight is beautiful"?

"Sister Robin, we will never abandon you!"

Little Yi waved her little fist and said very seriously, "Captain Brother can't, Little Yi can't, nobody can't!"

Yi Xiao continued drinking without saying a word, but the smile on his face deepened.

The atmosphere on the ship was really great, and he felt that he had made the right choice in joining the Blackwing Demon Adventurer Group.

It's much better than him wandering alone at sea.

Moreover, he now has a goal and a responsibility.

I feel more motivated than before, when I was just drifting aimlessly.

The future of this ocean may be better because of Lox's existence, and he looks forward to that day!

Rocks looked at Robin, who was showing genuine emotion, and fell silent: "..."

He thought to himself, "This can't be a show that Robin put on to get out of the trap I've set, can it?"

Hmm, probably not.

I'm just using this as an opportunity to speak my mind.

'As expected of Nico Robin…'

Lox couldn't help but smile to himself.

Robin is truly Robin; she broke the deadlock just like that?

Moreover, she managed to speak her mind, killing two birds with one stone. Lox couldn't help but give her a mental thumbs up…

Chapter 127: All members of the Black Winged Demon Pirates are wanted!

a few days later.

Naval Headquarters.

In a conference room.

Naval officers were seated in the two rows of seats on the left and right.

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat heavy and oppressive; the air seemed to have frozen...

The meeting was still chaired by Navy Lieutenant Commander Brannew.

He stood on the platform and looked around: "The high-level meeting has concluded. Now, let me explain the matters discussed at the meeting..."

In front of Brannew was a table with a stack of bounty posters on it.

This stack of wanted posters is the theme of this meeting...

"..."

No one spoke in the meeting room.

Wait quietly for Brannew to say next.

"Everyone should be familiar with 'Black-haired Swordsman' Rocks, and this meeting is still related to him."

Brannew said in a low voice, "According to Admiral Aokiji's intelligence, our navy has learned more about the black-haired swordsman."

"And in this Aska Island incident, their accomplices have finally surfaced!"

"The Black-Haired Swordsman Rocks, with a bounty of 450 million Berries, once killed Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and fought against Instructor Zephyr without being at a disadvantage."

"After that incident, the World Government decided to invite him to succeed Crocodile as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Therefore, Admiral Aokiji launched an operation and found his whereabouts on Asuka Island a few days ago..."

After a series of opening remarks.

Brannew's voice rose a significant notch: "He refused! The black-haired swordsman rejected the invitation from the Seven Warlords of the Sea and even clashed with Admiral Aokiji!"

"In this conflict, General Aokiji was accidentally injured, and the black-haired swordsman found an opportunity to attack General Aokiji at the cost of an arm."

"They injured Admiral Aokiji with such insane and vicious methods!"

"Refusing the invitation from the Seven Warlords of the Sea undoubtedly reveals the immense ambition the other party harbors, and their character is truly chilling..."

With a 'smack', Brannew slammed his hand on the table.

His tone turned cold: "Although the other ship is not flying a pirate flag, there is no doubt that it is a vicious pirate!"

"According to Admiral Aokiji's investigation, the opposing pirate crew is called Black Wing Daima!"

"Blackwing Demon... a very unfamiliar and peculiar term. After discussion at the high-level meeting, it was determined that it should be named after the black-haired swordsman's ability!"

"This might be a Zoan-type Mythical Zoan that has never appeared on the high seas before, a Mythical Zoan called Blackwing Daima. The abilities of Rocks, the 'Black-haired Swordsman' that our Navy has been paying attention to, are gradually coming to light!"

"It was precisely because he possessed the ability of a Zoan-type Mythical Beast that he was able to injure Admiral Aokiji at the cost of one of his arms."

"It is well known that Zoan-type Devil Fruit users are exceptionally good at recovery, and the black-haired swordsman's recovery ability is beyond imagination..."

"It can regenerate a severed arm!"

"Of course, we'll talk about the black-haired swordsman later. Let's discuss the members of the Blackwing Demon Pirates first..."

Brannew rummaged through the wanted posters on the table, took one out and slapped it onto the panel behind him: "First place, navigator of the Blackwing Demon Pirates."

The wanted poster prominently featured Nami.

Because it was a candid shot, Nami in the photo has an adorable, bewildered expression of being shocked...

It doesn't seem threatening at all.

Indeed, there wasn't much of a threat...

Brannew's voice continued: "Nami, the 'Little Cat Burglar'!"

"Based on the photographs taken, naval intelligence has identified some of the other side's activities in the East China Sea."

"They started stealing in the East Blue two years ago, targeting pirates and criminals. They had even gone to the East Blue branch base to collect bounties for wanted criminals..."

"It's obvious that 'Little Cat Burglar' Nami had already joined the Blackwing Demon Pirates back in the East Blue, serving as Blackwing Demon's navigator!"

"It is not yet known whether he joined the Blackwing Daimo Pirates voluntarily, but it is now a fact that he is a member of the Blackwing Daimo Pirates and has made a great contribution to the Blackwing Daimo Pirates' rampage across the seas."

"Given the relatively low level of threat posed by the other party and the still somewhat insufficient intelligence, the bounty for 'Cat Burglar' Nami is tentatively set at five million Berries..."

Anyone with eyes can see that.

The bounty is primarily for his identity as the navigator of the Blackwing Demon Pirates...

No one in the room raised any objections, as the bounty and the amount of the reward had already been decided beforehand.

Besides, a mere five million peggs isn't even worth paying attention to!

The reason they held this meeting was simply to learn about the members of the Blackwing Daima Pirates.

The navy had no prior intelligence on this matter, so it was natural that they needed to take it seriously.

This is the content and theme of this meeting!

"The next one also joined the Blackwing Daima Pirates back in the East Blue. He was a partner recruited by 'Black-haired Swordsman' Rocks back in the East Blue."

Brannew pulled out another bounty poster and slammed it onto the panel: "Kuina, the Iron-Cutting Swordswoman, bounty of 100 million Berries!"

Both were candid shots.

The wanted poster shows Kuina with a resolute gaze, subtly revealing a sharp and ruthless aura.

One look at him and you could tell he was a swordsman, a swordsman of considerable skill!

However, many people were surprised when they saw the amount of the reward.

One hundred million Berries!? That's a huge bounty on the very first try?

"Did this person do something on Asca Island?"

"Looks so young..."

The first bounty was 100 million Berries.

This is also extremely rare.

They don't remember anyone named Guina. Could it be that she did something sensational in this incident?

"Our information about this person is also very limited."

Brannew pressed down with his right hand, and the discussion in the arena ceased.

He slowly said, "The other party's specific background and identity are all blank. The only thing we know is their name, which we found in the registration book of a hotel in the East China Sea..."

"We don't have much intelligence about the other side in the East Blue, but we do have some clues in the Grand Line."

Brannew's eyes gleamed: "The intelligence department learned from these bounty hunters..."

"Kuina, the 'Swordswoman,' once fought Daz Bones, the 'Hitman' with a bounty of 75 million Berries, on Cactus Island."

"This battle is won by 'Iron-Cutting Swordswoman' Kuina!"

"Further intelligence indicates that 'Assassin' Daz Bones is a member of Baroque Works and was formerly a member of Crocodile's crew, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

"The reason why the black-haired swordsman has his eye on Crocodile might be related to this matter, hmm... although it's pointless to discuss this now..."

The Navy does indeed know very little about Kuina.

However, the Navy's intelligence network is extremely strong.

There are naval intelligence personnel throughout the four seas and the first half of the journey.

As long as there are relevant photos, clues can be found through the photos.

After several days of investigation, many things have finally come to light...
