Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

"We are different from those vicious pirates. We are righteous and kind. Don't compare us to pirates!"

What are pirates?

Can they compare to the Blackwing Demon Adventurer Group?

These guys are so rude...

……

the other side.

The battle between Kuina and Kaku had already begun.

Kaku somehow found two swords, one held upright and the other in reverse, and engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand battle with Kuina!

Clang!

The two swords clashed, sparks flying everywhere.

After the attack, the two retreated.

Hearing the commotion, Kaku didn't launch another attack, but instead turned his gaze in that direction...

"Even Lucci and Hanafuda are no match for the black-haired swordsman? This is troublesome..."

After seeing the scene over there, sweat rolled down Kaku's forehead, and his heart became extremely heavy.

He knew Lucci's strength.

The strongest member of CP9 in hundreds of years, his strength is comparable to that of a powerful vice admiral in the Marine Headquarters.

He didn't know the exact strength of "Tyrant Dragon" Hanafuda, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea meant that his strength couldn't be too weak.

As a result, even when the two joined forces, they were at a disadvantage...

"..."

Kuina glanced at the situation over there and then paid no more attention.

She believed that Rocks would not lose.

"You still have the mind to look at other places?"

Kuina raised her sword.

A dazzling slash tore through the air, cutting a gash in the ground, heading straight for Kaku...

Clang!

Kaku snapped back to reality instantly.

He swung the sword in reverse grip, deflecting Kuina's attack.

His face showed focus, but inside he was wryly smiling.

Without mentioning the situation on Lucci's and Hanafuda's side.

The female swordsman in front of him is also extremely strong; if he is careless in the slightest, he will be in great danger.

I almost had my arm chopped off just now...

The opponent's sword could cut through steel; even the Iron Block technique, one of the Six Styles, couldn't withstand it...

'Clang clang clang...'

Kuina charged forward with her sword drawn.

His swordsmanship was both elegant and dangerous; the blade fell like a flash of silver light as he clashed with Kaku...

It's quite obvious.

She had the absolute upper hand!

……

Another place.

'Click! Click click click...'

Arms grew out of Kalifa's body, locking her up like iron chains.

then……

With these arms snapped.

A cracking sound of bones dislocating rang out...

"Ah ah ah..."

Kalifa let out a piercing scream, her shapely, supple body twisting grotesquely under the force of the twist...

'boom! '

Then another arm grew out from Kalifa's chest, and with a flick of its wrist, struck Kalifa's chin.

Kalifa's screams ceased, and she slumped into unconsciousness, her head lolling to the side...

"Phew... Luckily I've been training recently, otherwise you might have really hurt me..."

Robin breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the unconscious Kalifa.

Dispelling her powers, Robin gave the unconscious Kalifa a gentle smile: "I'm also a member of the Blackwing Demon Adventurer's Guild, not a burden..."

This battle was very easy for her.

The opponent was countered by her abilities.

In addition, after joining the Blackwing Demon Adventurer's Guild, she was influenced by the atmosphere on the ship.

They are also practicing and training.

Seizing an opening in the opponent's defenses, they achieved victory in one fell swoop.

Not much time had passed...

"However, I still need to become stronger."

Watching the commotion on Rocks' side, Robin gracefully tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

He muttered to himself, "I can't always rely on others to protect me; I also need to protect others..."

She found a stable place and some people who cared about and protected her.

She didn't want to be protected by others all the time.

I also want to become someone who can protect my comrades and fight alongside them.

Even Nami is thinking about becoming stronger.

They also exercise very diligently every day.

She saw it all and was influenced by it, not wanting to be just a burden...

……

"Hmm, it's starting to taste like something..."

Rocks hovered in mid-air, stepping on the air.

Looking at the destruction he had unleashed with his punch below, he muttered to himself, "However, my proficiency is still insufficient. It consumes a lot of my Haki and stamina, but the power is not as strong as I imagined."

"It still needs time to be polished."

This move, "One Bone Crushing Strike," is a technique that Rocks has only recently developed.

It combines some techniques from Garp and Zephyr's attacks and incorporates them into a single punch.

This technique combines the strengths of both approaches and is further developed based on the user's own understanding.

Because it was only recently developed, the level of proficiency is not yet high.

Similar to the initial situation with the Elbaf Spear of the Kingdom, the consumption was not proportional to the power.

It needs time to polish.

With a casual wave of his hand, he dispersed the surrounding smoke and dust.

Rocks scanned the entire area with his senses, a smirk playing on his lips: "As expected of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, your resilience is indeed stronger than that of ordinary people. You withstood it all?"

The skill level for this "One Strike, One Bone - Crushing Strike" is not high, and its power is too scattered.

At least 40% of its power was not utilized.

Both Lucci and Hanafuda are Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, making them extremely resilient to attacks.

In addition, each side launched its own defense at the last moment.

Although the punch injured them, it wasn't fatal.

"What kind of monster is this...?"

Lu Qi got up from the crater he had created, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with solemnity and shock.

He felt he couldn't withstand the punch if it was aimed only at him.

He could very well lose with just one punch...

"Damn it! Why are you so strong?!"

Lucci remained relatively calm, but Hanafuda was on the verge of a breakdown, roaring hoarsely, "Why? How can a mere newcomer possess such power!"

That "Fire Fist" Ace is not even in the same league as this guy.

In his battle against "Fire Fist" Ace, he would not have lost if he hadn't been countered by Ace's abilities and hadn't been careless.

The result of their battle was that both were severely injured...

But he felt powerless in the face of this black-haired swordsman.

He couldn't get the better of this guy at all.

Moreover, the opponent is renowned as a swordsman, yet he hasn't even drawn his sword yet...

"It's not that I'm strong, it's that you're too weak. If it were Zephyr or Aokiji, you wouldn't be in such a sorry state."

Rocks landed on the ground, looked at Hanafuda, and said calmly, "There's no why. Strong is strong, and weak is weak."

"Let's attack together and kill him!!"
