Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

It is especially suitable for barbecuing.

Sprinkled with the flavorful salt brought by the "Water Gods" that Lox bought from the Seven Waters Island, the taste is absolutely superb.

It was very popular with the people on board...

The Blackwing Archmage Adventurer's Guild currently does not have a dedicated chef; cooking is done in shifts.

If we were to rank cooking skills by strength or weakness...

Rocks was undoubtedly the top leader, but unexpectedly, it was Little Yi who came next.

Her cooking skills are better than others.

She's just too young; she's fine as an assistant, but letting her cook alone would make Lox feel guilty...

Yixiao can cook, but only in a way that's edible; she has absolutely nothing to do with the word "delicious."

In his own words—as someone who often wanders the seas, without a stable place to stay, he naturally doesn't know how to cook for himself…

Life on the ship remained as peaceful as ever.

Aside from daily practice, there aren't many entertainment activities in my free time.

It's nothing more than playing cards, mahjong, and various board games.

You'll get tired of it if you play it too much.

Anyway, I'm getting a bit tired of Rocks.

He misses his phone and computer...

Robin and Yixiao took a liking to Go, and the two played blindfold Go in a fierce battle with no clear winner.

However, Robin always won in the end, by a narrow margin of one or two points.

Rocks understood.

Robin undoubtedly let the game slide, deliberately guiding the situation to this point.

People with high IQs are truly terrifying; in any case, Rocks didn't want to play Go with Robin.

They'll be slaughtered and routed...

He couldn't even beat Robin at Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), let alone Go, a sport that requires even more mental effort.

In this regard, Rocks would call Robin the strongest!

Ikko, on the other hand, didn't care at all. Instead, he enjoyed playing chess with Robin even after losing.

He has a very stable mindset.

Upon seeing this, Locke couldn't help but admire the other party's character...

of course.

Yixiao's favorite game is still mahjong, especially the kind with stakes.

He didn't have many other hobbies, but he was very interested in gambling...

Rocks used this opportunity to warn Little Yi that minors should not participate in gambling.

Xiao Yi naturally agreed repeatedly.

Although he would occasionally join in playing cards or mahjong, it was just for fun, to pass the time during the boring life on the ship...

The weather was not hot and humid at noon that day.

The relaxation area on the deck.

Holding the playing cards, Nami, under the intense gaze of two pairs of eyes, tried to slip away with a flimsy excuse: "Hmm, judging by the time, we should be almost at Jaya Island. I'll go check the directions..."

His escape attempt failed, and Locus grabbed his collar: "Heh heh, you think you can just run away after losing? It's not that easy."

"You lost, so the cleaning work will be yours for the next seven days."

"No, you're cheating! You're all ganging up on me!"

Nami pouted and shouted loudly.

As if he had suffered a tremendous injustice: "You guys definitely cheated! You used Observation Haki to peek at my cards!"

"What do you mean by 'joining forces to cheat you'? You're the landlord, the Celestial Dragon, and we're just ordinary people, commoners. What if we don't team up and let you win?"

Rocks scoffed: "And peeking at your cards is even more ridiculous. Observation Haki doesn't have that effect. A smile will only get Illidan to tell you what cards you have."

"I do not believe!"

Nami still tried to cheat: "You guys can peek at my cards!"

The Black Demon is so big, and she still has to clean it for seven days.

She said she couldn't clean it all herself.

We have to back out!

"Ha ha……"

Rocks wouldn't give Nami a chance to cheat.

They're even trying to cheat on him, the captain.

This little girl is getting bolder and bolder.

When her attempts to renege failed, Nami continued to curse and swear, saying that Rocks was enslaving and oppressing her.

They harmed this kind-hearted, beautiful young girl...

No matter how eloquently she speaks, or how miraculous things happen, it's no use; a loss is a loss.

If you lose, you have to fulfill the bet...

Nami vowed never to play cards or fight Celestial Dragons with Rocks and Kuina again.

The captain and first mate were in cahoots; she wouldn't have invited them to play cards if she wasn't so bored!

I need to reflect on myself!

The group didn't continue playing cards after that, because they could already see the island ahead.

This was their destination – Jaya Island!

Chapter 140 The Infamous Blackwing Demon Pirates! An Invitation from a "Fellow Traveler"!

Jaya Island is not unknown in the Grand Line.

Because half of Jaya Island suddenly disappeared hundreds of years ago, some legends have been passed down at sea.

This attracted many curious people to come and see.

Although no clues were found, Jaya Island became famous because of it...

At the same time, Jaya Island is also infamous.

There is a town on the island called "Magic Valley Town".

This is a lawless town.

The nearest naval branch base is some distance away, making this a "safe" place for some pirates and criminals.

This led to a large number of pirates, gangsters, thugs, and other lawless elements gathering in the town.

Criminals with substantial bounties often set up camp on the island, using it as their base.

Therefore, Jaya Island became a no-go zone for merchant ships and expeditions.

Even if they take a detour, merchant ships and expeditions will not land on this island.

Jaya Island is considered a "paradise" for pirates and criminals, and has a notorious reputation...

The location of the port in Mogu Town at this time.

A pirate noticed the Black Demon approaching: "Huh? A ship is coming? It's not flying a pirate flag? Are they unaware of the situation here?"

"Haha, could he be some kind of greenhorn?"

"That ship looks pretty good..."

Most of the ships that arrive here on weekdays are pirate ships.

The arrival of a ship without a pirate flag naturally attracted a lot of attention...

To be honest...

Most ships sailing on the high seas fly flags with distinctive patterns.

Even if no flags are flown, the sails will be painted with iconic patterns.

This is a culture...

A ship like this, with no flags or sails, is extremely rare on the high seas, as if it had just come out of a shipyard.

Very attention-grabbing!

Someone said in a deep voice, "Shouldn't we hold off? The person who owns this kind of ship is no ordinary person. We might kick a hornet's nest!"

The other person scoffed: "Ha, what a coward. Oh, right, you're just a nobody after all. Has your bounty exceeded ten million Berries yet?"

Another person warned, "You'd better not cause trouble. Do you want to die? There's a big shot with a bounty of over 100 million on the island right now!"

"What does 'over 100 million' mean? It means you're a supernova among pirates!"

"He already said that when he was on the island, he would kill anyone who dared to cause trouble. You all saw what happened yesterday..."

When this person mentioned the big shot with a bounty of over 100 million, his words were full of solemnity.

Upon hearing this, the previously noisy atmosphere quieted down for a moment.

Clearly, they dared not ignore these words, or rather, they dared not ignore the big shot on the island with a bounty of over 100 million...

One of them let out a breath: "'Thunderfire Fist' Olivera is second only to 'Fire Fist' Ace and 'Black-Haired Swordsman' Rocks among the recent rookies..."

"The Thunderfire Pirates don't just have one 'Thunderfire Fist' with a bounty of 113 million Berries."

Someone who knew more spoke up: "There's also the 'Cook' with a bounty of 49 million Berries. I heard they destroyed a town, but I don't know if it's true."

"It must be true, right? Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a high bounty on it."
