Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

"A little."

"Chop it down!"

"...Stop talking nonsense and get ready to land. I think I see steam rising up. There might be hot springs on this island."

Rocks patted Nami on the head: "Didn't you always miss Hot Spring Island before we even got there?"

"Now is the perfect opportunity."

"spa!"

Nami's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing those two words: "A hot spring in the snow! Hurry, hurry, don't waste time, log in quickly, I want to soak in the hot spring!"

Robin was also looking forward to it: "Soaking in a hot spring like this sounds really exciting."

"Should we just go straight there like this?"

Kuina posed a question: "Should we continue to pretend like before?"

After thinking for a moment, Lox said, "Let's change my appearance a little. I don't want to be too flashy."

Because of the island's unique scenery, Rocks wanted to explore it in peace and quiet.

I don't want to be bothered because of my "bad reputation"...

"Okay!"

Nami thinks it's good to keep a low profile.

He turned to Xiao Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, give me the medicine to change my hair color. I want to dye my hair emerald green!"

Why green?

Of course, it's because Rocks most often uses green-themed attacks, and even the Seven Star Sword has a strange emerald green color.

We should follow the example of Rocks.

Green also represents health!

"Ok!"

Xiao Yi raised her hand.

Small pills of various colors appeared in the palm of his hand.

This was an unexpected result of Xiao Yi overcoming the side effects of the recovery drug.

These tiny pills can change a person's hair color and eye color.

Xiao Yi has maintained her white hair and red eyes, and she looks very cute!

Locus: "..."

Are you Liu Xing?

They even dyed that thing green...

Rocks quickly stopped Nami's frivolous behavior: "Please don't use this color, it reminds me of some algae-headed guy..."

At some point, green ceased to be a symbol of health and began to be associated with something else entirely.

Rocks said he didn't really like green...

"Hey, Xiao Luo, don't you like green? And who's that algae-headed guy?"

“Not many people in my hometown like having green hair, as for the algae head... a guy who wants to surpass me and Kuina.”

"You clearly don't like green, so why are your attacks green and your weapons green too?"

"The power is what it is, and it's beyond my control. The Seven Star Sword is what it is, and it can't be changed according to my wishes..."

"So what color do you want me to turn into?"

"How about doing like Xiao Yi? White hair and red eyes, she looks so cute!"

"Eek~"

Although Nami sounded disgusted, she still chose the small white pill.

After swallowing it, Nami turned into a person with white hair and red eyes.

It looks a bit different from usual, and seems even better.

However, Nami still prefers her orange hair and will change it back later; it's just a temporary change of clothes.

With a smile, he took out sunglasses from his pocket and put them on, making him look even more like a blind man: "I'll wear sunglasses then, it'll suit the role of a blind man better."

Robin wore black-rimmed glasses, which made her look more intellectual and elegant, and less easily recognized: "This is who I am."

Xiao Yi has already made changes, so even if you look at the bounty poster, you might not recognize her.

Guina wore a hat, which slightly altered her appearance.

Rocks' method was the simplest: he used "Life Return" to make his hair grow longer, becoming a long-haired nobleman.

He looks almost completely different from the "blurred" appearance on the bounty poster.

The others also made some changes, making them less easily recognizable.

Many people in this world are actually quite face-blind.

Sometimes, a change in hairstyle or wearing glasses can make someone unrecognizable...

Soon, the Black Demon docked at a deserted coastline. Rocks looked at Moria and said, "Old Moria, the Black Demon is in your care now."

Moria grinned and said, "Leave it to me."

Perona, the ghost woman, fell ill after experiencing the recent climate changes.

Although I took the special cold medicine made by Xiao Yi, it wasn't so easy to get completely better.

Moria then stayed behind to take care of Perona, his adopted daughter.

"Row."

Lox nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

The group disembarked from the Black Demon.

Heading towards the town on the island.

Before long, they arrived in town.

This is a fairly large town, and although it was snowing heavily, there were still quite a few people coming and going on the streets.

They were all wearing thick cotton-padded coats and seemed to be walking in a hurry...

Some faint sounds could still be heard:

"Hurry, move faster! The Charlotte family elders will arrive here tomorrow. We can't afford to be late, or things will get really bad!"

How many more "soft-boiled eggs" are we still short?

“There’s still a lot missing… The storms that hit earlier destroyed too many crops, and this order came too suddenly…”

"Damn it, why start a tea party at this time? There wasn't even any time to prepare..."

"Stop talking and get moving! If we can't collect enough 'hot spring eggs,' our island is doomed!"

Amidst the clamor, the townspeople hurried along, their faces etched with anxiety and worry…

"Oh? The Charlotte family? A tea party?"

Rocks, with his keen senses, heard these people's words and his eyes flashed: "Is this an island under the Big Mom Pirates' control?"

In this world, these terms only refer to the Big Mom Pirates.

Robin pointed in one direction: "Look over there."

Rocks followed Robin's finger and saw a flag hanging there.

A childlike skull and crossbones flag with a skull painted with lipstick...

It is the flag of Big Mom's pirate crew, one of the "Emperors of the Sea"!

Upon seeing the flag, Rocks couldn't help but remark, "We just arrived in the New World and found ourselves on an island under Big Mom's control? What a coincidence!"

Because of Duke Sr., Rocks and Charlotte Linlin had a grudge against each other...

Unexpectedly, the first island they arrived at after entering the New World was related to the Big Mom Pirates.

What incredible luck...

Nami frowned slightly: "Is this part of Big Mom's territory?"

She's no longer a novice pirate; she knows how terrifying the "Emperors of the Sea" are.

They were also "emperors of the sea".

They knew that entering the territory of the "Sea Emperors" was a very dangerous thing for them.

"It's impossible to reach the World Ocean so quickly."

Rocks counted on his fingers and said, "It should be the same as the situation on Fishman Island. Charlotte Linlin would fly a flag on this island for some reason."

Charlotte Linlin will "protect" certain islands because of their specialties.

In the original story, after the Whitebeard Pirates were destroyed, Charlotte Linlin also raised her flag on Fishman Island...

This is clearly the case here.

So, "onsen tamago" must be a dessert, right?

Unfortunately, he was targeted by Charlotte Linlin.

However, it can't be said that there are no advantages. At least, hanging the Big Mom Pirates' flag will reduce the harassment from most pirates.

The Big Mom Pirates' intimidation power is not necessarily much weaker than that of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Kuina looked at Lox: "Are you going to stay any longer?"

"of course."

Lockes nodded, unconcerned, and said, "To slink away after hearing the name 'Emperor of the Sea'? That's not our style."

"Who isn't a 'sea emperor' at some point?"
