Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

"The Iron-Cutting Swordsman? It seems you've gone even further in your swordsmanship, Kuina..."

I finally have news about my long-awaited daughter, even though it's only been a little over three months.

But Koushirou felt as if he had been transported to another world.

Looking at the wanted poster featuring Kuina, whose gaze was resolute, subtly revealing a sharp and ruthless aura, with a beautiful face and a cool demeanor...

Koushirou smiled with satisfaction: "It's good that you haven't lost weight, and you're even more charismatic and stronger than before..."

"You are truly my daughter. Your mother would be so proud if she knew."

"Keep growing, this is just the beginning. I believe in you... Even if you can't beat that little monster Rocks, you will go very, very far on the path of swordsmanship..."

As long as I know that Kuina is doing well, that's enough.

He also believed that this was not the end for Guina, but only the beginning...

My daughter can go even further, even further than him!

Kuina is very talented in kendo, her only drawback is that she is a girl...

But Kuina found her own way of the sword.

Continuing to pursue their own path of swordsmanship, even if the opponent cannot reach the pinnacle, they are definitely one of the strongest swordsmen...

This is not easy, it is even extremely difficult.

However, he believed that Kuina would overcome the difficulties; that was just the kind of person Kuina was.

As for Lox...

He was so shocked by what he had just read in the newspaper that he was almost numb.

That guy isn't even human!

Chapter 139 You're making things difficult for me, Nami! Departure for Jaya Island!

The ocean trembled because of this newspaper, attracting the attention of countless people.

The "Black-Haired Swordsman" Rocks was already quite famous.

This time, his fame has been greatly boosted.

Many people have paid attention to this "newcomer" who has just emerged and has already caused a series of big incidents.

The other party was not only the "most vicious newcomer," but also labeled a "problem newcomer"...

This guy is such a troublemaker!

From his early days to his current fame, he has stirred up a storm at sea and become a force to be reckoned with...

It's only been a month or so!

Many powerful figures and well-known people on the high seas remembered the name "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks...

Furthermore, the "Blind Swordsman," who can fight against a Marine Admiral, is also a force to be reckoned with in the Blackwing Daimo Pirates...

Nico Robin, the "devil's child" who can decipher ancient texts, is also worthy of attention and interest from many people...

The Blackwing Demon Pirates thus burst into the view of many people, as if openly announcing their arrival!

Rocks's refusal of the invitation from the Seven Warlords of the Sea is enough to illustrate one thing—the other party's ambitions are probably not small.

Such ambitious people may very well become their enemies in the future!

This ocean... especially the New World.

Numerous forces have established themselves there, and the division of territories is already very clear, leaving no room for others to interfere.

A rising star with great ambitions is about to embark on a journey to a new world.

It will definitely not be quiet; it's most likely to cause a big commotion.

This would definitely be a threat to many people!

How can one allow others to sleep soundly beside one's bed?

Moreover, the new world is cruel, and many newcomers will face three choices after entering it.

The first option is to challenge the Four Emperors; the second is to join their ranks; the third is to find a secluded place to hide...

Given the strength and ambition displayed by the black-haired swordsman, what choice will the opponent make?

Undoubtedly, the first possibility is the most likely!

The Black Wing Demon Pirates are quite powerful overall!

Although there are only six people.

However, there are two beings with terrifying strength, strength enough to challenge even the Four Emperors...

Among those who are paying attention to "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks.

The one who reacted the most was Kaido, one of the Four Emperors of the Sea, also known as "Kaido the Beasts"!

After seeing the newspaper report about the "Tyrant Dragon" Hanafuda being killed.

On that day, on Onigashima Island in Wano Country, Conqueror's Haki stirred up the dark clouds in the sky, and the body of a demonic dragon soared into the sky, its angry roar causing the entire Wano Country to tremble...

Kaido was indeed angry.

Hanafuda cards are a crucial part of his "Beast Army" plan, requiring the other party to legally plunder them on the sea as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

As a result, Hanafuda has been killed!

This caused his idea of ​​creating the "strongest army of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users" to fall through.

The wrath of a maritime emperor is not so easily appeased...

……

The next morning.

While the sea was still abuzz with the news of this newspaper.

Rocks and the others planned to leave Water Seven.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of Carrera employees, the Black Demon was repaired late at night.

Now Loxon needs to conduct the acceptance test.

Lockes also inspected it, but he couldn't actually see the problem. However, the deck he had smashed through earlier had been repaired.

No trace of repair is visible to the naked eye.

Carrera's shipwrights were highly skilled, and the Black Demon was exactly the same as before.

This pleased Lockes.

The fees were settled yesterday. After chatting with Esbag for a few moments, Rocks and the others took their leave...

After replenishing its supplies, the Black Demon set sail again, leaving the island of Water Seven.

Next stop, Sky Island!!

"Sky Island, how do I get there?"

Nami raised the question, and then she recalled Rocks' earlier mention of the "sky-piercing current".

An image of a turbulent, upward-sloping current flashed into her mind—an enhanced version of the upwelling current from Upside Down Mountain…

Nami then looked at Rocks and asked excitedly, "Are we going to go up along the 'Soaring Current' you mentioned before? Where is it?"

Lockes immediately nodded and smiled, "That's right, it's 'driving' up there."

"Wait a moment!"

Robin suddenly spoke up.

Her tone was hesitant and confused: "To get to the Sky Island via the 'Soaring Ocean Current'?"

Is it the kind of "sky-piercing current" I understand?

The surging ocean current...

She was familiar with this term; she had seen related records before.

This is a special phenomenon known as the "monster current".

The principle is that cold seawater flows into a large underwater cave, and geothermal evaporation of the seawater produces steam; the excessive steam pressure causes an underwater eruption, and this force propels the seawater into the sky...

Hence the name "Soaring Sea Current"!

To reach the Sky Island by riding this powerful ocean current that contains immense force and is capable of destroying ships?

Is this suicide mission?

Nami sensed something was wrong from Robin's tone, and her expression immediately tightened: "Is there something wrong with the Skyward Current?"

Kuina also looked at Robin, and she subconsciously imagined the Skyfall Current as a rising current similar to the Upside-Down Mountain...

"..."

Robin glanced at Rocks.

Seeing the wicked smile on his face, I immediately understood what was going on...

Then Robin briefly explained the situation with the Sky-Piercing Current: "Of course not, the Sky-Piercing Current is..."

Upon hearing Robin's words, Nami was shocked: "Huh? A straight upward current!? It's called the 'Monster Current'?"

Is the Grand Line really that amazing?

There are such amazing ocean currents?

What shocked her even more was that Rocks actually said he would "ride" this ocean current to reach the Sky Island?

"Xiao Luo! You want to go to the Sky Island this way? Isn't that just sending us to our deaths? No way! I absolutely reject this!"

Nami immediately panicked.

veto!

This kind of thing must be rejected!

"I am the captain, my decisions are absolute, and I exercise my veto power."
