Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

"Humph!"

Kuina remained as decisive as ever.

After letting out a soft hum, she drew the Wado Ichimonji from her waist.

He raised his hand and swung a slash, knocking the flying axe down, which landed somewhere nearby...

Kuina glanced at the fallen axe, then looked in the direction it had come from and said calmly:

"My Observation Haki couldn't sense anyone over there; the axe was thrown from a great distance."

"..."

When Rocks's flying axe appeared, his Observation Haki spread out over it, but he didn't sense anyone in that direction.

He turned to Nami and said, "Nami, why don't you give it a try?"

We can only hope that Nami's unique Observation Haki will be able to detect some clues.

'Crack!'

Lightning crackled around Nami.

The lightning changed its nature, transforming into invisible electromagnetic waves, which combined with her Observation Haki, making the range of her Observation Haki extremely wide...

Two seconds later, Nami shook her head: "My Observation Haki senses that there are quite a few creatures emitting 'electric waves'."

"But there are too many, and I can't tell if it's Vander Deiken IX..."

Nami's Observation Haki is based on her ability to sense "bioelectric waves".

She can find the "radio waves" that she remembers, but she can't tell whether the "radio waves" that she doesn't remember are from people or animals.

There are so many creatures in the sea...

Although radio waves vary in strength, it's impossible to tell who is who...

Is that so?

Rocks was also aware of the drawbacks of Nami's unique Observation Haki.

After thinking for a moment, Rocks said, "Let's switch to electromagnetic wave scanning. That Vander Decken IX who ate the Devil Fruit is obviously a landlubber. Let's scan for ships or anything like that."

Vander Deiken IX was a fish-man who couldn't swim.

They traveled entirely by boat, pulled by a giant pufferfish-man...

A large target means it is easier to be found.

"Huh? Are we going to use that move? But I'll be exhausted..."

Upon hearing the term "electromagnetic wave scanning," Nami's face fell.

Electromagnetic wave scanning is an application of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit that Rocks told her about.

The nature of lightning is altered, transforming it into electromagnetic waves that spread and scan everything within a certain range.

It can clearly "perceive" everything it scans and construct a three-dimensional image in its mind.

This isn't Observation Haki, but rather the application of that ability.

Therefore, it consumes a lot of physical strength.

It will consume a lot of physical strength!

Furthermore, the information fed back from the electromagnetic waves needs to be processed by her brain. Processing too much information at once would make her brain feel very tired...

I'm physically and mentally exhausted.

Therefore, she doesn't like using this trick; using it once will leave her listless all day...

Rocks patted Nami's head: "With Illya here."

"Hmph! All you do is bully people!"

Nami let out a weary groan.

However, she still took action, her figure transforming into lightning and appearing in mid-air.

With arms and legs outstretched as if embracing the world, lightning crackled around him as he transformed into a ball of lightning, illuminating the sky...

'Om! '

A special electromagnetic wave, invisible to the naked eye, emanated from Nami's body.

Starting from her body, the energy spread out in a fan shape towards the location where the flying axe had just passed.

All the information from the electromagnetic wave scan was fed back into Nami's brain, forming a three-dimensional pattern within it...

Everything in that area deep in the ocean—animals, plants, terrain—was clearly "seen" by Nami!

"Well……"

However, the sudden influx of information into her brain caused Nami to let out a muffled groan.

Beads of sweat rolled down my forehead, my brain throbbed with pain, and my energy was being rapidly depleted by the constant electrical activity.

Nami's electromagnetic waves spread even further and further.

quickly.

In a place resembling a strait, Nami "caught" a dilapidated ship moored there.

Beside the ship stood a fish-man whose size rivaled that of a giant…

"found it!"

Nami transformed into lightning and returned to her original spot.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, rubbed his slightly throbbing temples, and said in a weary voice:

"About 100,000 meters away, there is a dilapidated pirate ship and a fish-man whose size is comparable to a giant."

"There's a fish-man on the ship with a normal-sized body, wrapped in bubble wrap. That must be that Vander Deiken IX..."

The fish-men in the ocean were wrapped in bubble wrap, which meant they had obviously eaten a Devil Fruit.

Without a doubt, it was Vander Deiken IX!

"If we were on land, I could also sense this distance..."

Itsuki's Observation Haki can extend into outer space, which is about this distance.

On land, he might be able to sense the ship's "gravity source".

However, in the deep sea, due to the interference of water pressure, he was unable to fully utilize his Observation Haki combined with the "gravity source".

Seeing Nami's tired face, Rocks rubbed her head again: "You've worked hard."

"I can't help you with this from now on, so it's up to you guys."

A blush crept across Nami's face, but she feigned composure and said:

"I'm so tired, and my head is still a bit throbbing. I need to rest properly..."

Physical exertion is one thing, but mental exertion is even more important.

All she wants now is a good night's sleep...

Neptune immediately replied, "I have already arranged rooms for you. You may go to your room to rest if you wish."

"Robin, take Nami to rest."

Rocks began giving instructions: "Issho, Kuina, Jinbe, we're going to find Vander Decken IX."

Nami gave the exact location: "About 150,000 meters to the northeast, that should be their base. The ships are anchored in a place that looks like a canyon."

"Go and get some rest."

Rocks nodded to Nami.

He then looked at Robin: "Robin, while we're gone, I'm entrusting Little White Star's safety to you."

Robin is strong enough now that she can't even shoot down a flying weapon.

It's more than enough to protect Shirahoshi's safety.

Robin replied, "I will take good care of them."

"It's yours."

Rocks smiled and looked at Neptune: "King Neptune, you should have ships and coating tools here, right?"

"Come with me."

Before King Neptune could speak, Jinbe said, "When I was a military commander, I had special patrol boats that could be deployed immediately."

There's no time to lose; the most important thing is to capture Vander Deiken IX as soon as possible.

Locus asked, "Where is the location?"

After hearing Jinbe's location, Rocks tore open space and took the three of them away...

Not long after.

Neptune and his men then saw a small patrol boat soar into the sky as if it had lost its gravity.

They passed through the bubble membrane that enveloped the Dragon Palace and entered the deep sea...

Neptune glanced at the nervous-looking Shirahoshi beside him, then looked up at the sky, muttering to himself, "I hope everything goes well..."

Robin calmly replied, "Now that their location has been found, their fate is sealed. At Rocks' speed, it won't take long for them to get there. They can't escape."

The moment Nami pinpointed their location, their fate was sealed.

……

Jinbe, the fish-man, went into the deep sea with the patrol boat and then used bubble coral to create a bubble membrane, allowing Rocks and the others to board the ship.

*Sizzle!*

Space was torn open, and Locus, Kuina, and Ichisho stepped onto the patrol ship.

Rocks said to Ichisho, "There's no time to lose. Ichisho, get to the location Nami mentioned as quickly as possible."

"I understand."

He smiled and nodded, drawing his staff and sword slightly from their sheaths.
