Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

"If you were an ordinary person, there would be no problem with saying this, but now that you have a high level of power and status, your every word and action is being watched, cared about, and misinterpreted."

"I need to watch my words and actions? Please, I'm not a public figure, just a wandering adventurer. Why should I think so much?"

Lox chuckled: "What do I care what others think? I'll do what I want. Not happy? Keep it to yourself!"

What kind of important person's words and actions?

To him, it's all bullshit!

He never pretends to be someone he's not; doing whatever he wants is his true nature.

Feeling annoyed? Just keep it to yourself!

Robin's eyes gleamed as he rested his chin on his hand and said with a smile, "Oh my, how domineering! No wonder you're my captain!"

Rocks glanced at Robin and asked, "What's with that sarcastic tone?"

"Where is the sarcastic tone?"

Robin rolled her eyes at Rocks: "It's clearly amazement and admiration, okay?"

"I can't tell."

"..."

Robin was speechless.

Instead of continuing the topic, he asked, "Speaking of which, I really didn't know you had a grudge against Charlotte Linlin. If that's the case, then we can no longer avoid becoming enemies with the two Yonko of the New World..."

"Would I even one day actively seek out trouble with them?"

"Are you scared, Miss Historian? I told you when you joined the Blackwing Demon Adventurer's Guild that my troubles might be even bigger than yours."

Lox laughed and joked, "But now that you're scared, you have no way out. You're bound to me for life."

Robin blinked: "What do I have to be afraid of with you here? Aren't you going to protect me?"

"Please add 'men' after 'me,' because I don't show favoritism; everyone is under my protection!"

"All of them...do you mean women?"

"Men don't need my protection; they can take care of themselves."

Rocks waved his hand and said magnanimously, "If you can't take care of yourself, you're not my partner, I can't afford to lose face!"

Robin said meaningfully, "You have quite the ambition!"

"Don't slander me, I'm telling you!"

"I didn't even say what it was about, and you've already jumped to conclusions. So you really have those kinds of thoughts? That's quite an 'ambition'!"

"...Forget it, I'm not going to talk to you anymore, you scheming woman. You always bring up those things. Didn't Nami say that? Pervert is a bitch!"

Rocks strikes a pose with his arms crossed, just like Nami: "I'm really not that kind of person!"

Robin flicked her hair, smiling and drawing out her words: "I hope so~"

Rocks's lips twitched: "Just as I expected, so sarcastic..."

'Crack!'

At that moment, lightning shot out and coalesced into Nami's figure.

Her eyes gleamed with the light of Bailey as she said to Rocks, "Little Rocks, hurry! I've found a lot of gold and silver treasures. Quickly, move them onto the Black Demon!"

Collecting the spoils of war is Nami's favorite part.

So she went to the castle to look for treasure, and she actually found it.

what?

Moriah's?

What Moriah has now belongs to them.

Since the other party is already an ally, their money and bailes naturally fall under her management as the "Minister of Finance".

She's in charge of the money on the Black Demon!

Lox said speechlessly, "That's Old Mo's, isn't it?"

"What old Mo? He's a partner now."

With a wave of her hand, Nami had already decided who would own the treasure: "Your friend's money is your money, and your money is my money. What's the difference?"

Rocks' face darkened: "When did my money become your money? You're just in charge of guarding it!"

"Oh, it makes no difference. It's not mine now, but it will be mine later!"

Nami shamelessly replied, "Your money is useless!"

Xiao Luo is definitely richer than the vast majority of people in the world.

If I marry him in the future, won't all of Xiao Luo's money be mine?

Nami had already secretly made this decision.

Find a time to take down Xiao Luo in one fell swoop, and absolutely do not let anyone else get there first, especially "outsider thieves".

Anyway, she's already sixteen, which is considered an adult for a woman, hehehe...

Xiao Luo likes her so much, he definitely won't escape her grasp!

"???"

A question mark appeared on Lox's forehead.

What do you mean by "what isn't yours now will be yours later"?

He had no use for money, yet he still came!

That's a pointed remark...

"..."

Robin raised an eyebrow.

Nami has become less secretive lately, is it because she's come of age?

That's pretty daring.

It's practically as if it's been said outright!

"Old Mo didn't earn his fortune easily, so don't even think about these pittances, okay?"

Lockes shook his head: "There's almost no room left on the ship for gold, and we can't put it all in the bank..."

Nami wouldn't compromise on this: "What do you mean by a pittance? It's probably worth hundreds of millions of Berries! We can't be so wasteful!"

"Besides, haven't we already spent a lot of money to make room for it? There's an empty corner in the warehouse. As long as I smelt it a bit, I can fit it in!"

"As for Old Mo, he probably won't mind. Besides, he looks so tall and big, his food expenses alone must be a lot, so it's only right that he contributes some Pele..."

That excuse is quite reasonable...

Rocks didn't want to dwell on such a trivial matter and casually waved his hand: "Fine, do whatever you want with it. They'll just ask you for it whenever they need it."

Nami nodded repeatedly: "I'll see how it goes before giving it to them!"

……

Not long after, Moria and Perona, who had gone to find Hogback, returned.

Hogback did not come.

In other words.

Only Moria and Perona joined the Blackwing Demon Adventurer's Party...

Afterwards, the Shandia duo went for a stroll, Xiao Yi went to collect herbs with Yi Xiao, Kuina maintained the Black Blade Shusui and stored it on the Black Demon, and Rocks delivered the treasure collected from the castle to the Black Demon, among others...

They were all gathered in Moriah's castle at this time.

All members gathered together!

A banquet to invite the new members to join the family unfolded as scheduled...

"Hehehe, although Hogback doesn't plan to continue following me and joining you..."

After taking a sip of red wine, Moria explained Hogback's situation: "However, I got quite a few medical books from him, which might be useful to the little boat doctor."

"Consider it my gift to her when we first meet."

Perhaps it was the treatment he received from Xiao Yi, or perhaps it was Xiao Yi's smile that touched him.

Moria seems to care about Illya quite a bit...

Little Yi now accepts all medical books without hesitation, and flashed Moria a sweet smile: "Is this a gift for me? Thank you, Uncle Moria!"

"You're welcome."

Moria smiled.

However, seeing that Xiao Yi's hair color had changed from black to red, he said with slight concern, "But did your hair color change? Is it a side effect of using the Devil Fruit ability?"

"Oh, this isn't a side effect of a Devil Fruit."

Xiao Yi tugged at her red bangs and explained, "This is a side effect of the recovery medicine. It will change my hair color after I take it, but it's nothing serious."

While on the Sky Island, Xiao Yi developed a drug that could restore physical strength and accelerate the recovery of injuries.

The side effect of this recovery medication is that it can change hair color.

And it will last for a long time.

Her original hair color was blonde, but she has since tried different hair colors such as purple, pink, white, and black.

Hmm, it's red now...

She didn't dislike the change in hair color; no matter what hair color she had, Rocks would always compliment her on how cute she was.

Although it seems like Rocks' favorite hair is white hair?

She's considering whether to work on overcoming the side effects of the recovery medication and stabilize them so that the hair only turns white...

Moria nodded and laughed, "Hehehe, it's good that there's no problem. I would feel bad if my treatment made you feel unwell."

He does care about Xiao Yi quite a bit.
