Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Rocks grinned: "If you're capable, I'll even give you my captain's position."

'Swish swish swish...'

As soon as Rocks uttered those words, all eyes in the arena turned to Moria.

Moria felt a strange pressure: "..."

No, he really didn't have that thought, and he didn't say those words.

Can you please stop looking at him with that intimidating gaze?

Moria chuckled: "Don't joke, Captain, I don't have such thoughts, although I'm not completely convinced yet..."

"However, since I have chosen to join you, I will not do anything like betrayal."

"Unless you do something that disgusts me, I will not abandon my companions..."

Moria felt a strange sense of relief when those oppressive gazes disappeared...

He added, "Your goal is to become the world's ruler, and I want to become the Pirate King. Our goals don't conflict."

"Then I should have no problem becoming the Pirate King, right?"

"Of course, without such ambition, you would not be suitable to be our partner."

Lockes didn't care at all, and smirked: "Everyone here has a big goal, a big dream."

"Isn't having no dreams the same as being a salted fish?"

"People should strive to realize their dreams and goals while living in this world."

"We would be proud if the future Pirate King were our crewmate!"

Goals and dreams are extensions of will and belief.

Which member of the Blackwing Demon Adventurer Group doesn't have their own goals and dreams?

Becoming partners because of shared goals and dreams is part of the adventure itself, and something to be happy about!

Chapter 175 The Supernova on the Sabaody Archipelago, The Dark Winged Demon Adventure Team's Discreet Landing

Sabaody Archipelago.

This island marks the end of the first half of the Grand Line.

There are several ways for pirates to reach the New World.

The vast majority will choose to have their coating applied over the Sabaody Archipelago, pass through an underwater cavern thousands of meters deep, transit through Fishman Island, and finally arrive in the New World.

This place can be described as a "gathering place" for pirates, with a large number of pirates coming and going every day.

Because the Sabaody Archipelago is the Celestial Dragons' "backyard," it has been developed into a very prosperous place.

You can see all sorts of facilities here.

The Sabaody Archipelago is composed of the root systems of many Yarchiman mangroves, each of which has a specific number corresponding to a different region.

Chaotic area, stable area, commercial area...

Each archipelago has corresponding towns and facilities.

At this moment, on Island Sixteen, in the lawless zone of the chaotic area, a ship flying a pirate skull flag sailed closer.

Upon seeing the flag at the port, someone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "It looks like a crocodile skull! It's the flag of 'Emperor Crocodile' Shusius, one of the supernovas..."

"A big shot with a bounty of 193 million Berries has actually arrived at Sabaody Archipelago?"

"The Crocodile Pirates... I heard they defeated a Marine Vice Admiral, which is why they were given the title of Supernova..."

Another thin man was an informant: "The other party is the pirate with the highest bounty among this year's Supernovas!"

Another person, who seemed somewhat lazy, said, "Supernovas... is it starting again? Every year a batch emerges, and then the vast majority disappear without a trace. What's the point of paying attention to them?"

"Heh, although supernovae appear every year, it's a bit odd that the vast majority of them disappear without a trace, isn't it?"

"Indeed, didn't three of the four supernovas from the last generation become famous figures?"

Speaking of the previous generation of Supernovas, some people still remember: "Fire Fist" Ace, who served as the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates...

"Buggy, who became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

"The 'Black-Winged Demon' Rocks, who was crowned the 'Fifth Emperor of the Sea' even before setting foot in the New World..."

"Only 'Thunderfire Fist' Olivera has disappeared without a trace, while the other three have all become famous figures!"

The Supernova Pirates appear every year, but the last Supernova series featured three major figures who could not be ignored.

This situation is extremely rare.

"Where has 'Thunderfire Fist' Oliver disappeared?"

An elderly man took a sip of his drink: "That's because your information is too outdated. Didn't someone see it? The other party is now a slave of the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles..."

Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? There's such a thing?"

The old man exhaled and shook his head, saying, "They attacked a Celestial Dragon. It's already a miracle they weren't executed on the spot. Some people speculate that it was to force 'Cook' Leilia to show herself..."

Another person asked in surprise, "This kind of thing happened? When did it happen?"

"It was just over a month ago..."

"They were all supernovas, but their fates were so different. It's truly tragic and lamentable."

"..."

Someone said, "Let's not talk about that. Didn't the newspaper say that the Blackwing Daimo Pirates have reappeared?"

"Now that it has reappeared, is the Blackwing Demon still a supernova?"

These words caused many people to look at the other person as if they were a fool...

A burly man sneered: "Don't you know what the title 'Fifth Sea Emperor' represents? You still think of the Blackwing Demon as a newcomer?"

Another person agreed, saying, "The Black Wing Demon Pirates had already surpassed the level of rookies long ago!"

"Speaking of which, the Blackwing Daima Pirates' reappearance means they're heading to the New World, right? Doesn't that mean... they might actually reach the Sabaody Archipelago?"

"If the Sea Emperor doesn't go to the New World, does he intend to stay in the first half?"

"No, what I mean is, what if the other Supernovas set their sights on the Blackwing Demon Pirates? Someone went after Senryo Daohua before, wait, isn't that Emperor Crocodile?"

"Haha, that's possible. After all... the supernovas are all very arrogant. If they could defeat the Blackwing Demon, their fame would soar to its peak overnight!"

Discussions at the port inexplicably shifted from the supernova "Emperor Crocodile" Shusius to "Black Wing Demon" Rocks...

However, as the Crocodile Pirates' ship docked at the port and people disembarked, the scene fell silent...

Supernova "Emperor Crocodile" Hughes is a burly, nearly three-meter-tall, ferocious man.

He swept his gaze across the crowd at the harbor, having overheard their earlier discussion, and a smug, ferocious smile spread across his face: "Blackwing Demon Lord Lox?"

"He's just a fame-seeking bastard! Just like that Qianliang Daohua!"

Xiu Xiu's arrogant voice echoed across the port: "Listen up, you trash! If any of you encounter the Blackwing Demon, tell him what I said: I'm taking his head!"

"A head worth 1.5 billion Berries can be my stepping stone to becoming the Pirate King!!"

Buggy, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is a complete waste. He doesn't even dare to accept my challenge and only dares to send his subordinates to fight.

He had already seen through the other party's true nature; he was just a worthless person seeking fame and fortune.

If Qianliang Daohua was like this, then the Black-Winged Demon King must be the same.

It's just that its name is a bit bigger!

His goal is to become the Pirate King, the sole ruler of the New World.

Forget about the fifth Emperor of the Sea, he didn't even take the Four Emperors seriously.

He had come all the way from the South China Sea and had never found any opponent. Even a vice admiral was easily defeated by him.

With such strength...

Fear no one!

"..."

After hearing what "Emperor Crocodile" Xiu Xiu Si said, many people showed strange expressions.

He thought to himself, "As expected, this guy is really arrogant. He just blurted out such explosive news."

Isn't this already a provocation?

Provoking the "Fifth Emperor of the Sea," who is recognized by the world government and navy!

"Let's go, boys, let's explore the island!"

Seeing that these scoundrels were intimidated by his words, Xiu Xiu Si revealed a disdainful smile: "I'm getting a little itchy now, and I hope to find someone on this island worthy of my attention!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and led his group of subordinates, whose faces were filled with arrogance and domineering expressions, away from there...

After Xiu Xiu left, someone finally spoke up: "He's really confident, but I wonder how long he can maintain that confidence..."

Another person said, "However, the opponent is indeed quite strong. Just standing there makes me feel a sense of pressure. The opponent may not be weaker than the previous generation's supernova..."

"Hehehe, this is really interesting. If the Blackwing Demon Pirates were also on the Sabaody Archipelago right now, it would be quite a show..."

"It would be best if they fought, hahaha!"

Many people are talking about it and laughing about it; they just love a good show...

At a dark corner of the street, a red-haired woman wearing a cloak and looking somewhat disheveled heard the name "Blackwing Demon" Lox.

A glint of light flashed in his tired eyes, but it quickly disappeared...

Leaning against the wall, Lelia murmured, "I'm afraid we won't be able to keep our promise to you, Lord Lox..."

"But I won't give up. Even if the hope is slim, I will rescue my brother and then join you under an assumed name..."

Leilia lowered her cloak to cover most of her face, her figure disappearing into the shadows...

……

Another numbered island.

Inside a bar.
