Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

"Hmph! That's not what I want to hear!"

Hanafuda sneered, "If you don't give me a good solution, you're not leaving today!"

"This……"

Esbag frowned, his expression not looking good...

He knew these "legitimate pirates" wouldn't be easy to get along with, but he never expected them to be so domineering.

His first words were threats.

However, they couldn't afford to offend such important figures.

The other party has the legal right to plunder at sea.

All they could do was appease the other party and try their best not to offend them...

'Pop pop pop...'

Just then, the Den Den Mushi in Espagu's arms rang.

This made Espagu frown even more, and he quickly took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket, intending to turn it off.

After all, he was still discussing matters with a big shot like "Tyrannosaurus Rex" Hanafuda, so he couldn't possibly ignore him and answer the Den Den Mushi in front of him...

This is very rude and could anger the other person.

The other person doesn't seem to have a good temper...

However, I was a little too slow. Just as I picked up the Den Den Mushi, it connected by itself...

After the call connected, a voice came through the Den Den Mushi: "Mayor, a ship made of the Treasure Tree Adam has arrived at Dock One."

"Due to the high price of this ship and the issues involving the keel, we need you and a few shipwrights to come and inspect it..."

"Okay, I understand. We'll be there in a bit."

Aisbagu responded and then quickly hung up the phone.

Then he turned and glared at his secretary, Kalifa, as if to say—look what you've done!

Secretary Kalifa set up his Den Den Mushi to prevent Espagu from slacking off.

Some specific Den Den Mushi (transponder snippets) will automatically answer incoming calls...

Espagu has been suffering for a long time.

Having a secretary who's too strict isn't a good thing either; he can't even slack off...

And he clearly set it back yesterday, didn't he?

Why did it connect by itself again today?

It's obvious that Kalifa secretly reset it back without his knowledge...

Seeing the look in Esbag's eyes, Kalifa pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses: "Mr. Esbag, this is sexual harassment!"

"I……"

Espagu was helpless.

How did he commit sexual harassment?

But now is not the time to discuss these matters. Espagu looked at Hanafuda, his voice still respectful: "Lord Hanafuda, regarding your ship, I..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Espagu was interrupted by Hanafuda before he could finish speaking.

Hanafuda had obviously heard the Den Den Mushi's voice too, and a cold smile appeared on her lips: "I just heard it. You have a ship here made from the Adam Tree?"

"Very good, I'll take this ship!"

Hanafuda stared at Esbag: "You shouldn't have any objections, right?"

Even his "Overlord Dragon God" wasn't made from the Adam Tree, but now I hear there's a ship here made from the Adam Tree...

Then he naturally accepted it without hesitation!

Upon hearing Hanafuda's words, Espagu's expression changed drastically...

Chapter 129 Forging the Seven Star Sword's Sheath, Bruno didn't even have time to unleash his abilities...

Rocks was unaware that someone was targeting his Black Demon.

On their way to the exchange.

After exchanging the treasure for Berries, Yi smiled and said to Rocks, "I'm going with Xiao Yi to purchase supplies. We'll meet up with everyone later..."

"Captain, ladies, have fun! Uncle Yixiao and I will buy some goodies and then head back to the Black Demon!"

Xiao Yi, holding Yi Xiao's hand, waved to the others.

The two then left in the "Blue"...

After Yixiao and Xiaoyi left.

Nami also suggested to Kuina and Robin, "Kuina, Robin, let's go shopping. I want to buy some everyday items."

Kuina nodded: "Okay, I'd like to buy some skincare and Doichimonji items."

Robin added, "I'm also planning to buy a few outfits."

As they spoke, the three women looked at Rocks, as if asking, "Do you want to come along?"

"You can go by yourselves."

Lockes quickly shook his head: "I'll go see if there's a blacksmith on the island and ask if they can forge a scabbard for the Seven Star Sword."

Women find shopping troublesome; once they start, they can't stop.

Rocks didn't want to go.

He also had his own plans.

The scabbard for the Seven Star Sword needs to be forged.

Moreover, Rocks also wanted to collect the salt on the island.

It seems that the original work mentions that each time the "gods of water" pass by, they leave a layer of high-quality, flavorful special sea salt on the roof.

Rocks isn't picky about food, but he does want to eat well.

Nami curled her slender white index finger and warned Rocks, "Don't cause any trouble, Rocks!"

Lockes was speechless: "I don't usually go looking for trouble."

Nami said, "I mean, you should disguise yourself well so that no one recognizes you!"

"..."

The group parted ways at a fork in the waterway.

Wearing sunglasses that covered most of his face, Rocks rode alone in "Blue" and wandered around.

People came and went in the waterways and streets, but few paid attention to Rocks or recognized his identity.

This made Lox feel very comfortable.

Although there was CP9 on the island, Rocks wasn't too worried.

Kuina is very strong. Unless Rob Lucci intervenes, the rest of CP9 will be unable to defeat her.

More than enough to protect oneself.

Any commotion would prompt Lockes to rush over immediately, so there was no fear of any unexpected events.

Even if they were to encounter CP9, Kuina could still gain some experience.

To be fair, Kuina lacks practical experience.

Aside from Cactus Island, the other islands were all high-level matches, which Kuina couldn't participate in...

……

After asking the locals, Lockes went to a famous swordsmith shop on the island.

A few minutes later, Rocks arrived at the door of a swordsmith shop.

Looking at the shop sign, Lockes exclaimed in surprise, "Frostmoon Residence?"

Lox was no stranger to the term "Frostmoon," as Kuina's surname was Frostmoon...

Could it be related to the Shimotsuki family of Wano Country?

I didn't think much of it.

Rocks lifted the curtain and went inside.

There was only one elderly man in the shop, wearing a black kimono with cloud patterns, with gray hair and a hunched back.

He seemed to be taking a nap...

Hearing footsteps approaching, the old man snapped out of his nap, yawned, and looked at Locke with somewhat listless eyes: "Guest... are you here to have swords forged?"

"Can you forge a scabbard?"

Lockes glanced at the old man, whom he didn't recognize, and then explained his purpose.

"Sure, what kind of scabbard would you like to have made? If it's custom-made, I'll need to collect data on your sword..."

When Lockes placed the Seven Star Sword on the table, the old man, sensing the eerie aura emanating from the demonic blade, gasped: "A demonic blade? And a demonic blade of this caliber!?"

As a swordsmith, it was impossible for him not to recognize the demon sword.

He had even seen them many times before, but he had never seen a demon sword that exuded such an eerie aura before!

Lox smiled and said, "The Seven Star Sword, a demonic sword, didn't come with a scabbard when I obtained it. I need to make a scabbard to cover up the evil aura it exudes."

"Seven Star Sword..."

The old swordsmith muttered, having no information about the sword in his mind.

Looking at the Seven Star Sword, he exclaimed, "What a fine sword!"

Looking up and staring intently at Rocks, who was wearing sunglasses, the old swordsmith said, "The guest who can subdue a demon sword of this caliber must be a very important person..."
