Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

The Rocks of the past was like that, and the Rocks of today is like that too...

No, this Rocks seems even more arrogant than that Rocks, daring to call himself a god...

"Just take it as a compliment."

Unable to figure out Rayleigh's intentions, Rocks didn't care; he wasn't intimidated by Rayleigh.

Locus said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, sir, to save my friend."

"Small things."

Rayleigh slowly walked up to Oliver.

He grabbed Olivera's slave collar with his right hand and used advanced Armament Haki to shatter its structure.

Then, with a flick of his hand, he threw the slave collar away.

With a 'bang,' the slave collar exploded several meters away, and the blast wave swept back...

"His effortless use of domineering power is truly remarkable, befitting the right-hand man of the Roger Pirates."

Lockes couldn't help but admire.

He can't yet use advanced Armament Haki with such ease...

Rayleigh chuckled: "Please find a good way to praise me, that will make me feel like I'm still a young man."

"That old guy Whitebeard is still the 'strongest in the world,' and you're not much older than him. If you want, you could have a place as the Emperor of the Sea."

Rocks could sense the powerful force hidden within Rayleigh.

His seemingly old body possessed a power akin to a volcanic eruption.

If Rayleigh wanted to, he could still fight a Yonko right now...

"That's giving me too much credit."

Rayleigh waved his hand.

He knows his own situation best; he's no match for those four sea emperors at his current level.

Rayleigh said to Rocks, "It's fate that we've met. Would you like to come to my house for a visit?"

Rocks was surprised: "I killed two Celestial Dragons, aren't you afraid of getting involved with me and causing you trouble?"

"Of course I'm afraid. This old guy is retired and doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing."

Rayleigh smiled, then his smile faded, and he sighed, "However, there are some things I need to inquire about. If I don't find out, they'll keep bothering me..."

Actually, encountering the Blackwing Demon here was just an accident.

He finished coating the object and heard the commotion on his way home.

Out of curiosity, I came to take a look and ended up seeing Rocks.

Because of some things, he wanted to have a good talk with Rocks...

Locus: "..."

Has the truth come out?

It seems Rayleigh knows about Hachi, but he didn't expect the other party to come looking for him.

However, Lockes was not at all guilty and nodded, saying, "Since it is an invitation from a senior, and you saved my friend's life, I can't very well refuse."

"I'm rather curious, what could the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates possibly want with me?"

"This way, please."

Rayleigh didn't say much, and then began to lead the way.

Knowing full well what was going on, Lockes asked, "No need for all that trouble. Where do you live? Just point me in the right direction."

"Forehead……"

Rayleigh had no idea what Rocks was up to.

However, he still revealed his address: "The 'Tricky Bar' on Island Thirteen."

"The rip-off bar on Island Thirteen, right? Then there's no problem."

Rocks' "Space Release" has a range that covers the area that Observation Haki can reach.

Island No. 13 is not far away; you can get there in one go.

As his senses spread out, Lockes detected another familiar aura and said to Rayleigh, "Please wait a moment, senior. I'm bringing a friend over."

*Sizzle!*

Lox grabbed the invisible space with his right hand and tore it open, creating a dark spatial rift.

Then he reached out with his left hand, as if he had grabbed something.

With a strong tug, a slender girl with fiery red hair was pulled out...

"Hey, hey hey hey?"

A gasp escaped from Leilia's lips.

I was running perfectly fine... how did a hand suddenly appear out of thin air?

She was dragged into a pitch-black space without any resistance...

Leilia was ready for battle, but upon seeing the people here, she paused, "Lord Lox? And my brother? You..."

How is this going?

Wasn't my brother captured by the Celestial Dragons?

She hid in the Sabaody Archipelago to rescue her brother, and after learning the news, she immediately headed towards Island 18.

I want to rescue my brother...

result……

How could my brother be with Lord Rocks?

"Lelia?"

Olivera was somewhat stunned when she saw her sister.

What kind of ability is this? It pulled Lelia all the way here with just one tug?

Lox explained to Leilia briefly, "We happened to be on the Sabaody Archipelago, and after encountering Olivera, we rescued him, and then..."

"Is that so?"

After hearing the general outline of what had happened, Leilia burst into tears of joy and bowed repeatedly to Lox: "Thank you so much, Lord Lox, thank you for saving my brother!"

Seeing a certain part of Lelia swaying with her movements, Nami felt dizzy, gritted her teeth, and muttered angrily, "Cheater, another cheater!"

Her only impression of Leilia was that she was a philanderer!

What kind of good person would stare at Xiao Luo like that for so long?

It's almost stringy!

Even she found it hard to resist the look in that beautiful woman's eyes, let alone a teenager like Xiao Luo...

Nami felt the pressure!

"We can catch up later, don't keep the old man waiting..."

Lox smiled at Leilia.

Then, using Observation Haki, he locked onto the extortion bar on Island Thirteen, and his right hand tore open space once more...

Maintaining the "emptiness", Lox said to Kuina and the others, "Kuina, you go first. Leilia, you support your brother. I'll have Little Yi heal him later."

"Ah."

Kuina nodded and, together with Nami and Robin, entered the spatial rift.

"Thank you, Lord Lox."

Leilia helped the injured Olivera up and also entered the spatial rift...

"Spatial abilities, a unique characteristic of Mythical Beasts? That's truly remarkable..."

Rayleigh looked at the spatial rift and exclaimed, "Right now, I might not be a match for you, the fifth Emperor of the Sea..."

"That's a bit too modest, Senior Rayleigh."

"Hahaha."

Rayleigh glanced at Rocks, smiled, and followed him into the spatial rift.

Watching Rayleigh step into the spatial rift, Rocks breathed a sigh of relief: "I hope he doesn't do anything to upset me, Rayleigh-senpai..."

As soon as Lockes stepped out of the spatial rift, he heard a woman's voice:

"Oh dear, I thought they were some pirates looking for revenge, but it seems they're just guests, and... quite a few at that..."

"..."

Lockes looked over at the sound.

This is a woman with short hair and a very elegant demeanor.

She sat behind the bar, legs crossed, a thin cigarette dangling from her lips, looking at the unexpected "uninvited guest" with a hint of surprise...

Lockes was no stranger to this man.

The other party is Shakky, the former emperor of Amazon Lily, the former captain of the Kuja Pirates, and a legendary beauty!

In a past life, someone said that One Piece was Shakky's panties, well... after a series of events including Kex and the Four Gods.

No matter how outlandish the speculation, Rocks remained skeptical...

Rocks politely apologized to Shakky, saying, "I'm so sorry I didn't let you know beforehand, Ms. Shakky."

"We came at the invitation of Senior Rayleigh."

"I like polite guests."

Xia Qi stubbed out her cigarette and smiled at everyone present, "What would you like to drink, gentlemen? Since you are Old Lei's guests, there's no charge."

"Orange juice it is," said Lox.
