Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

At this time, the bar was occupied by a group of pirates, namely the "Bull Pirates," one of the current generation of supernovas.

Because coating takes time, they only stay here briefly...

"Boss, there's some news you'll definitely be interested in!"

A pirate who was out gathering intelligence pushed open the door of the bar and walked in.

He said to an ordinary-sized man inside who was drinking, "The 'Emperor Crocodile' Xiu Xiu Si, whose bounty is even higher than yours, has also arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago."

"And he even openly declared at the port that he wanted to take the head of 'Black Wing Demon' Locust, hehehe, how interesting!"

"The Emperor Crocodile" Xiu Xiu Si?

The captain of the Bull Pirates, "Bull" Lino, has a bounty of 123 million Berries.

He was an ordinary-looking man, but a shrewd glint flashed in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Linuo raised an eyebrow: "Oh, that guy who's not quite right in the head."

"If it was that brainless idiot, he really could say something like that, openly provoking such a big shot. He's really not afraid of death..."

The next generation of supernovas has been revealed.

There are four people in total.

They are all pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million.

Among them, "Emperor Crocodile" Xiu Xiu Si is the most arrogant and presumptuous, and has the highest bounty.

The opponent had once defeated a naval vice admiral.

Perhaps that's why the other party is so arrogant and doesn't take anyone seriously...

In his opinion, he was just a guy who wasn't very bright.

Defeating a vice admiral certainly demonstrates the opponent's strength, but it's far inferior to "Black Winged Demon" Rocks, who was capable of fighting a Marine Admiral...

He had witnessed the power of a Marine Admiral before; the destructive force of his attack could only be described as cataclysmic.

"Emperor Crocodile" Xiu Xiu Siu ...

If "Blackwing Demon" Rocks were on the Sabaody Archipelago, there would only be one fate awaiting him...

The first mate said, "Captain, do you think 'Emperor Crocodile' Xiu Xiu Si is no match for 'Black Wing Demon' Luo De?

Lino scoffed, "Don't joke around, that's the fifth Emperor of the Sea, a big shot that even the Admirals of the Navy Headquarters can't do anything about!"

"You think that brainless guy can beat them?"

"The fact that this Emperor Crocodile could withstand even one attack from the Blackwing Demon means it's already incredibly powerful!"

"Hiss... Is the Blackwing Demon really that powerful?"

One of the Bull Pirates members gasped, "Isn't this a bit too much?"

Recalling what he had witnessed, Lino was still shaken: "That's because you haven't seen the Marine Headquarters Admiral in action. He's a monster among monsters..."

The Admirals are monsters among monsters, and the Blackwing Demon, who can fight the Admirals, is definitely a monster as well.

Anyway, he would never offend such a monster.

Because I will die...

……

Island No. 30.

This is the commercial area of ​​the Sabaody Archipelago.

Wearing sunglasses, Rocks and his friends strolled around the shopping street.

"Who is that 'Emperor Crocodile' Xiu Xiu Si again? How dare he be so arrogant?"

Nami was astonished to hear the conversations around her.

He turned to Lox and said, "I said I'd take your head, little Lox."

"Who knows?"

Rocks shrugged, looking completely innocent: "What did I do to deserve this? It's bad enough that the World Government and the Navy are targeting me, but now even pirates want to take my head."

"That's terrifying..."

"Find his location and take him out."

Kuina remained as direct as ever, stroking the Wado Ichimonji in her hand, and said coldly, "Provoking you is the same as provoking us."

Rocks, embarrassed, said, "He's just a nobody. There's no need for you, the first mate, to take action."

Kuina asked, "Should we just leave it alone?"

"There's no need to go looking for them. Now is a time for leisure. Let's explore the island first. Once we've explored enough, we can find a coating craftsman."

Lox wouldn't change his mind for some nobody.

After a five-day voyage from the Thriller Bark, Rocks and his crew arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.

Because the girls wanted to enjoy their time on the island in peace, the Black Devil docked at a deserted shore, and no one knows that they have landed in the Sabaody Archipelago.

As for how long it can remain hidden?

It depends on the situation...

Enjoy your time on the island, then find the coating craftsman. After the coating is applied, head directly to Fishman Island.

That's how the Lockes plan works.

When it comes to coating craftsmen, the first person Rocks thinks of is Rayleigh.

However, since Hachi died at their hands, after thinking it over, Rocks decided to let it go...

Although the Arlong Pirates were misunderstood by the Navy as having been killed by the Buggy Pirates due to Rocks' "manipulation".

However, to avoid letting that old man Rayleigh find out anything, it's best not to provoke him.

I'm not afraid, but there's no need to invite trouble.

Anyway, the Sabaody Archipelago may not have much else, but it has a ton of coating craftsmen...

Upon hearing this, Kuina nodded: "Then let's spare them for now. If we encounter them again, we'll kill them..."

Locus: "..."

Robin, who was traveling with them, was holding a flyer and looking at the auction information on it. She suggested, "There's an auction going on on Island Nineteen. Do you want to go check it out?"

Nami also said, "Sure, we've pretty much seen everything here. Let's go check out the auction. I've never been to an auction before."

"Let's go take a look. If there are any Devil Fruits, I'd like to take a picture of them."

Lockes had no objection.

He was also interested in the auction.

Some auctions auction Devil Fruits, and Rocks could never have too many.

Right now, I only have the Sand-Sand Fruit and the Gluttony Fruit. If I encounter them, I can take them.

Anyway, there's a lot of Rocks gold.

You can't spend it all, you simply can't spend it all...

Having decided on their next move, the four of them headed towards Island Nineteen.

Only the four of them went to the commercial street, also tasked with finding a coating craftsman.

Yixiao accompanied Xiaoyi to other islands to buy medical equipment, especially surgical instruments, which Xiaoyi now needs.

Moria and Perona are in charge of watching the ship. Moria doesn't want to show his face right now, and Perona has been "confined" by Nami for sneaking food.

As for the Sky Island Sandia duo, they went to buy supplies.

The members of the Blackwing Demon Adventurer's Team had a well-organized division of labor...

……

After half an hour.

The dead man, Locke, arrived at the auction house located on Island Nineteen.

This is a well-decorated, palace-like building with a flag hanging above its round roof.

Judging from the design on the flag, it is the emblem of the Don Quixote family...

"Is it the property of Donquixote Doflamingo, the 'Heavenly Demon' of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Robin recognized the flag: "They must be quite powerful to be able to hold an auction of this scale in the Sabaody Archipelago."

"Another Shichibukai?"

Nami was surprised.

His gaze drifted towards Locke, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

Rocks seems to have a special connection with the Seven Warlords of the Sea. How many of them have they encountered along their journey?

Crocodile, Hawkeye, Hanafuda, Gecko Moria, and if we include the newly added "Senryo-do" Buggy.

There are already five Shichibukai...

Now that we've arrived at Doflamingo's territory, are we going to encounter another Shichibukai?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Rocks glanced at Nami.

What's with that look in his eyes?

Nami pondered, "We often encounter the Seven Warlords of the Sea, could we also run into that 'Heavenly Demon' here?"

"Then this guy offended you because of the auction, and then you killed him. I have this strange feeling..."

"...You have quite the imagination."

Rocks admired Nami's imagination.

How could these be connected?

"I don't think it's such a coincidence," Lockes shrugged. "It can't be such a coincidence. Why would that guy run to the first half for no reason? Let's go in and take a look."
