Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Nami turned her head: "Xiao Luo, how much bounty do you think I'll have?"

"It should be worth several hundred million Berries, right?"

Rocks counted on his fingers: "For the sake of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, the World Government and the Navy would have no choice but to give you hundreds of millions of Berries."

Nami said unhappily, "It's as if I only rely on the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. I'm not someone who only relies on Devil Fruit abilities!"

Everyone: "..."

How dare you say such a thing?

If you don't rely on the fruit, what will you rely on?

"Hey, who do you think you are!"

Seeing her silent companions, Nami was furious: "The Railgun isn't something that just anyone who ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit can master; it requires training, you know!"

She did not deny the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

However, not all users of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit can unleash the Railgun.

This requires her clever little brain and diligent practice to master!

Lox replied dismissively, "Yes, yes, you're the strongest, alright?"

"Humph!"

Nami snorted at Rocks's dismissive tone.

How come Nami is someone who only relies on Devil Fruits?

She's not some ghost woman!

The ghost woman was being reckless again: "Hooray hooray hooray, if you weren't a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, I could defeat you a hundred times! A hundred times!"

Nami: "..."

'Crack!'

"Ooh!"

Perona collapsed to the ground, spewing black smoke from her mouth...

Moria: "..."

This girl really doesn't learn her lesson.

Why do you always provoke others?

I clearly can't beat them...

The others, however, had gotten used to it.

Perona is someone who never learns from her mistakes; she'll find an opportunity to pick a fight with Nami, only to get electrocuted the next second.

This is not the first time such a scene has occurred.

As for the newly joined siblings Olivera and Lelia, they exchanged a glance and looked at each other in bewilderment...

The atmosphere on this ship is somewhat unusual...

"You guys wait here, I'll go find Senior Rayleigh to help with the coating."

Rocks hadn't forgotten their purpose in returning to the Sabaody Archipelago. After saying a word, he tore open a space, along with the extortion bar on Island Thirteen.

In a bar that extorts money from customers.

Upon seeing Rocks appear, Rayleigh and Shakky exchanged somewhat bewildered glances.

You dared to return after only two days?

That's incredibly audacious!

Rayleigh laughed and said, "You really are a reckless guy. You dare to go back now? Aren't you afraid the Navy is waiting for you here?"

"If we get caught, we can just fight another match."

Rocks dismissed it: "Unless the Navy's top experts are mobilized, they may not be able to do anything to us."

Xia Qi took a drag of her cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said with a smile, "After this battle, your spirit has become even stronger. I'm almost falling for you."

"Haha, I like people with good taste like you, Ms. Xia Qi."

Rocks joked, "But you shouldn't say things like that in front of Senior Rayleigh, or he might not be able to resist attacking me."

"I am not such a petty person."

Rayleigh shook his head and joked, "I wouldn't want to make a fool of myself. If I were to attack you, that lightning girl might use one of those moves on me, and my old arms and legs wouldn't be able to withstand it..."

He had witnessed the previous battle very clearly.

Nami's strength was also stronger than he had expected.

That kind of attack also posed a great threat to him...

Luckily, I didn't do anything reckless before, otherwise I would have offended Nami.

If the other party wanted to target him, he really wouldn't be able to do anything about it...

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is just too overpowered!

"She's too young; she's definitely no match for Senior Rayleigh."

Lockes shrugged.

Without dwelling on that topic, he went straight to the point: "Senior Rayleigh, we're planning to go to Fishman Island to ask you to coat us."

"Of course, there's no problem with that."

Rayleigh knew why Lockes had come, and nodded: "But let's make this clear first, my skills are very valuable. Friendship is friendship, and work is work. This isn't free."

"That's natural."

Lockes chuckled: "We may not have much else, but we have tons of gold on board..."

"Oh? Gold?"

Rayleigh's eyes flashed, and he raised an eyebrow, saying, "If I remember correctly, during the period when you were out of contact for more than half a year, the last place you landed on was Jaya Island, right?"

Rayleigh had already realized something: "You've landed on the Sky Island?"

Xia Qi has access to some intelligence channels.

In addition, Rayleigh had already been paying some attention to Rocks and his group, and had some knowledge of Rocks' whereabouts.

We can make a simple inference from this.

During the six months or so that Lox and his crew disappeared, they most likely spent it on the Sky Island...

And it might be a sky island they visited, where there's a huge amount of gold!

"..."

Rocks was surprised by Rayleigh's quick thinking and made no attempt to hide anything: "I did go to Skypiea and saw the ancient writing left by Roger there."

"I see."

Rayleigh nodded slightly: "You have a historian on your ship who can read ancient texts."

Rayleigh looked at Rocks: "Since you saw the ancient writing left by Roger, you should also have seen the record on that Poneglyph, right?"

"Are you planning to go find one of the ancient weapons, 'Poseidon'?"

Lox said directly, "I'd like to meet her, but I'm not interested in her power."

Rayleigh paused for a moment: "You know about Aquaman?"

"The elders in the family know some things, and they learn them by hearing them a lot."

Rocks smiled mysteriously: "It's not like only your Roger Pirates know these secrets."

"Although I don't know as much as you do, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever. Besides this channel, there might be other channels..."

Rayleigh said, "I'm a little curious about your elders..."

He was very curious about Lox's elders.

Not only did they cultivate a powerful figure like Rocks, but they also learned some hidden things...

He's definitely a remarkable guy.

Could it be some reclusive old monster who was once hidden within the Rocks Pirates?

Otherwise, it would be impossible to know so many hidden things!

Lockes chuckled, "He's a rather low-key person, so I won't say anything to avoid causing him trouble. He's someone who hates trouble..."

Old Duke is a pretty good card to play.

Everything can be pinned on him...

If old Duke knew about these things, he would definitely give Rocks a good dressing down.

He doesn't know anything!

"Looks like a very important person."

Rayleigh sighed, then shook his head and said, "Since you don't want to talk about it, then I won't ask."

"Let's go, kid. Let Old Lei, the coating craftsman, show off his skills and make sure you get to Fishman Island smoothly."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Senior Rayleigh."

*Sizzle!*

Space was torn open, and after Rocks bid farewell to Shakky, he stepped into the spatial rift together with Rayleigh, who was wearing a coating tool...

Looking at the healed spatial rift, Shakky stroked her chin: "Should we have someone investigate the background of Brother Lox? I'm getting quite curious..."

Finally, Shakky shook her head: "Yeah, forget it. The person who can train Brother Rocks is not someone that ordinary people can mess with..."

Meanwhile, on a distant island in the East China Sea, Old Duke sneezed several times in a row. Rubbing his nose, he muttered, "Who on earth is talking about me? I've been sneezing a lot lately..."

"Could it be that kid, Rocks?"

"Speaking of which, there hasn't been any news about that kid, Lockes, lately. Is he going to hide for another few months? That's not like him."

"Is he holding back something big?"
