Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Kuina has a very special feeling for Lox...

Kuina, completely oblivious to her own limitations, asked, "Another one? Are you referring to Nami?"

"Hey, Kuina, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Nami was furious after hearing what Kuina said.

Her face turned bright red, whether from anger or some other reason, it was hard to tell.

Nami shouted, vehemently denying it: "How could I possibly admire Xiao Luo? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Xiao Luo is just a scoundrel, capitalist, and 'Celestial Dragon' who doesn't pay me a salary, likes to hit me on the head, and is always going against me. He's absolutely wicked. How could I possibly admire him?"

"..."

Lox's lips twitched: "Fine, say what you want, but can you stop with personal attacks?"

Why would you insult him for no reason?

That was incredibly vulgar!

Who are you calling a Celestial Dragon?!

And your smug little expression is just too classic.

Please tone it down; arrogance is outdated!

Chapter 142 The Blackwing Great Demon Void's "Attack" is Imminent, A Smile That "Holds Back"!

The banquet has ended.

It was already late at night.

Before parting ways.

Leilia, who already knew that Rocks and his crew didn't have a chef, said this—

If they can get revenge, she wants to join the Blackwing Demon Pirates... adventure crew and become Rocks's partner!

Lockes said he had no objection to this.

Leilia's culinary skills were greatly appreciated by Lox, and the Black Demon was indeed lacking a chef.

If a beautiful woman with excellent cooking skills wanted to join...

Rocks was happy to oblige.

However, the other party needs to take revenge first.

Well, I wish them success.

Lockes didn't ask any further questions.

He could tell that the other person didn't want to reveal the details about that "enemy"...

"A thief of pleasure! This is a thief of pleasure."

Nami seemed to have some issues with Lelia, and as they walked, she warned Rocks in a rather unpleasant tone: "Little Rocks, you need to be careful, don't be tempted by beauty!"

The way that woman was looking at Lox was strange, and it made her inexplicably uncomfortable.

It was as if they wanted to snatch Rocks away from them.

Although Rocks wasn't theirs either...

Lox was speechless: "..."

Is he the kind of person who would be tempted by beauty?

No!

He won't be tempted by beauty unless it's someone he likes!

"Judging from their tone, their enemy doesn't seem to be a simple person."

Robin was also quite good at judging people, and she made this assessment: "They don't think they can get revenge, that's why Leilia spoke up..."

"Perhaps it's about finding a firm goal for myself?"

Leilia's smile at the end was clearly forced.

Clearly, the enemy they were talking about was not someone to be trifled with.

Even for them, it was an impossible thing to do...

"Perhaps."

Rocks counted on his fingers and said calmly, "Just like us, they were forced to become pirates. Their enemies are either the Navy or the World Government."

"For many people, these two forces represent an insurmountable chasm."

"Even we have to be extremely careful. If we're ambushed, the chances of escaping safely are slim..."

The Blackwing Demon Adventurer Group is already quite powerful overall.

However, one must be careful when dealing with the navy.

Needless to say, the others are even less likely to be included.

If the Thunderfire Pirates' siblings' enemies are the World Government or the Navy.

Then the other party's desire for revenge is practically hopeless, if not impossible.

They had only met the Thunderfire Pirates by chance, so naturally they couldn't do anything to help them.

It seems that the brother and sister were reluctant to reveal the identity of each other's "enemy" because of this concern.

They are two very sensible people.

It would be nice to have the opportunity to become their companion in the future.

The other party was not one of those vicious people; they had their own bottom line, just like him.

He smiled and sighed, having guessed something: "The hypocritical justice of the World Government and the Navy is more destructive than evil."

When will this chaos truly end?

"The world is not black and white. Even if another regime controls the world, there will still be chaos."

Lockes shrugged: "As long as humanity doesn't go extinct, this kind of thing is unavoidable. Human nature is something that can't withstand the test."

With a smile, she slowly said, "Is human nature so easily tested? No wonder you wanted me to be the 'supervisor.' You are indeed very farsighted. I will supervise your every move!"

Locus: "..."

The aftereffects of my previous talk-no-jutsu have started.

Yixiao always felt that he had the goal of overthrowing the world government and becoming a savior who upholds justice.

No, it should be said that Yixiao was guiding him toward the direction of "savior".

Even though Lox had made it very clear that he did not want to be a savior.

I simply want to "not eat beef".

But Yixiao didn't care and only did what he thought was right.

What else could Lox say?

Let him be...

"Then I'll have to keep pushing me, Yixiao."

Lox smiled and said, "If there's anything I've done wrong, you can point it out. That's why I invited you to join the Blackwing Demon Adventurer's Guild."

He smiled earnestly and said, "I will do my best."

"Yes, that's how it should be."

Rocks laughed heartily.

He also said to the others, "You all should also remind me immediately if you notice anything different about me."

Actually, there was another reason why La Yixiao joined Lox.

Yixiao is very strong.

If he fails to "fight back" the Black Winged Demon within him next time, the other party will need to intervene to "suppress" him if he goes berserk.

Will the Blackwing Archmage cause Locus to go berserk?

Lox doesn't know yet.

Previously, the Blackwing Great Demon Void was either repelled or appeased by him, and it did not have a significant impact on Lox himself.

But this time is different...

Because he devoured a Devil Fruit, the power of the Blackwing Great Demon Hollow increased significantly.

The balance between the two has been completely broken.

Locus wasn't sure if he could withstand the next "attack" from the Blackwing Demon Void...

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare in advance.

Rocks had a premonition.

The next "attack" from the Blackwing Demon Void cannot be appeased with energy...

The only option is to "drive them away"!

The reason for this decision is to temporarily avoid the brunt of the conflict on the Sky Island.

Not only because of his recent surge in prominence, but also because of the Black Winged Great Demonic Void within his body...

When Lox "introspected" the mental world and the space of consciousness.

They discovered that the Blackwing Great Demon Void had almost exhausted the "energy" it had gained from consuming the Great White Boar Fruit.

Lockes knew exactly what this situation meant.

The next attack from the Blackwing Great Demon Void is not far off.

The moment it awakens will be the moment it launches its attack...

"Something's not normal? What strange things are you saying!"
