Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Chapter 213: With your personality, you might have just gone and killed them; news about the "Swordplay Contest".

After investigation.

This island is called Winter Hot Spring Island.

It is famous for its volcanic hot springs and also for a dessert called "onsen tamago" (hot spring egg).

This island is quite famous in the surrounding waters.

In addition, because it flies the Big Mom Pirates' flag and is protected by the Big Mom Pirates, few pirates come to cause trouble.

It is a place worth visiting for relaxation.

At this moment, Lockes and his companions arrived at a hot spring inn located at the foot of a volcano, and generously booked the entire place for themselves.

They have plenty of money and don't want to share the hot springs with other people.

Inside the hotel.

Just as Nami was about to step into the "women's bath," she remembered something and stared warily at Rocks:

"We're soaking in the hot spring right next door, so you absolutely mustn't use Observation Haki, you hear me!"

I've heard Rocks mention it before; Rocks' Observation Haki is quite special, and everything within a certain range can be "seen" by his Observation Haki.

Doesn't that mean it can be used for spying?

Fortunately, it seems only Rocks' Observation Haki is so unique, otherwise it would be far too unfriendly to his female comrades...

Understanding Nami's implied meaning, Rocks' lips twitched slightly: "..."

Is his character really that bad?

Seeing that Rocks remained silent, Nami snorted twice: "Anyway, I've mastered Observation Haki, so if you dare to spy, I'll definitely find out, and then... hmph!"

Lox was speechless: "Am I really that bad?"

No, not at all.

Nami didn't think Rocks was such a tasteless person.

It was just a reminder to Lox.

She raised her index and middle fingers, making a gesture as if poking someone's eye: "But I don't know if you'll be blinded by lust, so I need to remind you."

"If you peek, I'll poke your eyes out!"

"Ha ha……"

Lox couldn't help but scoff: "Even if I were to peek, I wouldn't look at you, you little brat."

"you……"

Nami was so angry she gritted her teeth.

What does this mean?

She's not a little kid at all!

She's clearly a beautiful young woman with a curvaceous figure!

Who does this guy think he is?!

Seeing Nami's body crackling with electricity, Robin, the older sister, quickly comforted her: "Alright, alright, don't get so easily agitated. Let's go soak in the hot springs first..."

These two always like to bicker with each other for no reason.

She's really worried sick!

"Humph!"

Nami snorted.

Suppressing his anger, he glared at Lockes and then entered the "Women's Bath" hot spring.

Robin smiled at Rocks and said, "Then I'm going to soak in the hot springs too, Captain."

Then she moved her lips, and from her lip movements, you could tell she was saying, "Captain, there's a mixed bath here. Would you like to join us for a bath tonight if you have time?"

Without giving Rocks a chance to answer, Robin winked at him and followed Nami into the "women's bath" hot spring.

"A cunning woman!"

Having deciphered Robin's lip movements, Rocks thought to himself, "I'm a gentleman, how could I be the kind of person to do something like this?"

You can't trust what a scheming woman says.

He won't fall for it!

Turning around, Locke also entered the "men's bath" hot spring.

After a relaxing soak in the hot springs for over an hour, the members of the Blackwing Demon Adventure Team gathered at the restaurant...

Because the place was booked out, it was just them and their group.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. While drinking sake, Locke casually remarked, "It's a pity we can't try the island's most famous 'hot spring island specialty,' otherwise I would love to."

The cook, Leilia, immediately said, "If we can have a bite, my brother and I might be able to replicate it. Then, Lord Lox, you can eat as much as you want!"

As chefs, the brother and sister are professionals.

Lox smiled and said, "It's just a little craving, no need to go to all that trouble."

To be honest...

Olivera and Lelia's cooking skills are far superior to everyone else's.

The delicious food he cooked received praise from many people.

Food was one of Lox's hobbies, and the addition of these two siblings made him very happy.

Leilia said earnestly, "This is our chef's job, it won't take much effort!"

Olivera smiled and said, "Captain, and everyone else, if there's any food you'd like to eat, please let us know, and we'll do our best to make it the best it can be."

He enjoyed life on the Black Devil.

If it weren't for revenge, they would never have chosen to go to sea and become pirates.

Cooking is their profession; they prefer being a chef to being a pirate.

Their wish is to make food that satisfies people.

of course.

It would be even better if we could find "ALL BLUE".

No chef would not want to find "ALL BLUE", which is known as a "paradise of ingredients"!

Locke smiled and said, "We're here to soak in the hot springs today, so let's enjoy ourselves. Let's sample some of other people's cooking today."

"Now that you mention it, I'm also quite interested in those 'hot spring eggs,' but they're all going to be donated to Big Mom's Pirates for their tea party..."

Nami clicked her tongue, then asked curiously, "Speaking of which, is that tea party really that important?"

"It actually plunged the entire island into a state of panic."

"The aunties' tea party is held once a year."

Robin, who is knowledgeable and enjoys gathering information, answered the question: "It was an event where 'Auntie' Charlotte Linlin demonstrated her influence."

"We have extended invitations to the leaders of many factions that have cooperative relationships with the Big Mom Pirates to strengthen our ties."

"If you refuse the invitation to the tea party, you will be considered an enemy of the Big Mom Pirates..."

For many, the tea party hosted by the older women is a trap.

Because Charlotte Lindsay's personality is too unpredictable.

If something doesn't go their way, they might resort to violence at the slightest provocation...

"So domineering?"

Nami pouted: "No wonder she's called the 'Emperor of the Sea'."

"What if she invites other 'Sea Emperors'? If they refuse, won't a fight break out?"

"The tea party has been held for many years, but no other 'sea emperors' have gone. Either they didn't go, or Charlotte Linlin didn't send an invitation."

Robin explained, "However, it's highly likely that no invitation was sent. Other forces might fear Big Mom's Pirates, but the 'Emperors of the Sea' won't."

Nami said she understood: "It's just bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"

Robin smiled and said, "It's pretty much the same idea."

Nami thought of a possibility and looked at Rocks: "Rocks, what if the Big Mom Pirates invite us to that tea party?"

"What should we do?"

"Of course I refused."

Rocks looked at Nami like she was an idiot: "Are you an idiot? You were just worried that we might have entered Big Mom's territory."

"Now you're asking me what to do if I receive an invitation to a tea party?"

Nami's mind is sometimes sharp and sometimes not.

Does the Rumble-Rumble Fruit have a "side effect" that affects intelligence?

Lox said speechlessly, "Going there rashly might lead us to our enemy's headquarters. Do you have a death wish?"

"Of course I know that!"

Nami's eyes twitched slightly with anger.

Do you really think she's stupid?

She pursed her lips and said, "But I remember you have a grudge against the Big Mom Pirates, right? Knowing your personality, you might have already gone and attacked them! I'm just reminding you of that!"

Lox sighed, "After knowing me for so long, how can you think I'm a reckless and impulsive person?"

"I can still tell the difference between being confident and not being confident, okay?"

Rocks was never a reckless or impulsive person.

You could even say they were extremely cautious.

This can be seen from the fact that he goes all out from the very first move.
